BRILLIANT CEREMONY TO MARK ABYSSINIA CORONATION

DELEGATES OF WORLD POWERS WILL ATTEND Modernized African Capita! to Be Scene of Colorful Rites Sunday. COUNTRY OF CONTRASTS Native Chiefs Wonder at New Electric Lights and Macadamized Streets. 11 ii I niti (I Press ADDIS ABABA, Abyssinia, Nov. 1. —The imperial crown of Ethiopia will be placed upon the head of Ras Tafari at dawn Sunday, making him the 334th ruler in an unbroken line of independent sovereigns which claims to antedate the great flood. He will assume the title of Emperor of Ethiopia, King of Kings of Abyssinia, Elect of God, and Conquering Lion of Judah. Thirteen foreign delegations have assembled here to witness the ceremony. The coronation, the royal procession, and the state ceremonies and festivities coincident with the crowning of the emperor will furnish one of the most brilliant displays of modern times. Three months of feverish preparation? have given the Abyssinian capital anew and Brazen show of modernization and hidden much of its natural east African appearance. Imitates European Capitals The citys primitive attraction has been largely sacrificed fror an imitation of European capitals, which Ras Tafari ordered rushed to conclusion before his coronation. Streets that were once dusty have been macadamized. Most of them are illuminated with electric lights. Thousands of poles have been erected throughout the city, spirally painted in the national colors of * green, yellow and red. They resemble jaundiced, elongated barbers’ poles, from which brilliant banners and streamers float in the ai.’. Miles of staked fences, six feet high, hide the picturesque native tukuls, the homes which largely compose the citl. Scene Is Picturesque Foreigners attending the coronation will view only the more pretentious structures, representing the modernization through which Ethiopia is now passing. Diplomats of many lands drive through the streets in their official automobiles, flying national flags and bearing diplomatic crests. Native chiefs on horseback and carrying rifles gaze in wonder at the modern forms of conveyance. The chiefs wear dark capes and broad hats and are attended by numerous white-clad retainers. The servant problem remains unsolved even in the household of an Abyssinian monarch. Servant Walks Out The dul:' 1 o!

Careers of ‘Big Shot * Gangland Chiefs Are Eventful But Brief

Arrest of Bugs Moran and Legs Diamond Attack Re* call Adage: ‘Wages of Sin Is Death.’ BY BRUCE CATTON NEA Service Writer CHICAGO, Nov. I.—When the well-known Bugs Moran, one-time underworld power on Chicago’s north side, fell into the toils of the law at Waukegan the other day, he unwittingly provoned an illustration for one of the inexorable but littleknown natural laws of gangland. This law, briefly, is that the underworld “big shot’s’’ career is nearly always a short one. The beer runner, the racketeer and the gunman, here and elsewhere, do not hold theii thrones for any great period of time! j In that fact, a long-suffering pub- ; lie which finds its public officials! powerless to enforce the law against these underworld rulers may find I a grain or two of comfort. The old adage that “crime doesn’t pay" may have been knocked skyI high by developments of the last decade, but a still older one is still i 1 holding good. It is, “The wages of j | sin Is death." They Rose, Ruled, Died Bugs Moran, arrested, frisked and j booked, provides one instance. Jack j (Legs) Diamond of New York pro- j ! vides another. And the roster of : j gangland, here and elsewhere, pro- | vides many more. Go back over underworld his- | story here in Chicago, the labora- ! tory and testing ground for! | America’s underworld, and see ! what you find: | Jim Colosimo. first man to. get; an inkling of the possibilities in- j j hcrent in gangland empires, j j built himself up into a “big shot,” | | ruled briefly, and then died, a j matter of ten years ago, with a bullet in his skull. Enemies Shot Torrio Colosimo’s place was taken by Johnny Torrio, a hard-bitten, capable man from New York’s ten- ! derloin. Torrio took what Colo- | simo bequeathed him and added ! to it. I He established the south side | gang on its eminence, building it up from a neighborhood group of panders and high-binders to an allpowerful, city-wide organization. And what happened to Torrio? He had three or four years of power; then his enemies shot him, he recovered in a guarded hospital, foiled his attackers by standing the rap in j jail for six months on a liquor j charge, handed over his scepter to ; Al Capone, and lit out for Europe. He has not been back since, never j will be. He is the only gangland big j shot to resign and get away with it. j Capone Is Exception Capone, of course, is the exception. Coming to power some six years ago, he still is on the throne, unhurt and unmolested. But per- j haps it takes a few exceptions to j prove the rule. Where are his chief lieutenants? Tony Lombardo for years was one j of the mightiest of Capone’s execu- ! tive officers; and Tony, in 1928, died j on a downtown Chicago street cor- j ner, shot from behind in the midst of a crowd. He was succeeded, in the powerful Unione Siciliana, by Pasquale Lo- | lordo. Lolordo ruled a few months; then, one night, some men called at his house, sat down to drink with him. and shot him to death when he lifted a glass of wine to drink: their good health. Succeeded by Triumvirate Lolordo was succeeded by a trij umvirate; John Scalisi, Albert An- | selmi and Joe Guinto. For someJ thing like a year, perhaps longer, i they enjoyed power and riches. Then someone, somehow, enticed j them into an automobile one dark ; night. The next day their lifeless bodies were found alongside a road near the Indiana border. Among Capone's business rivals, what has been the situation? Dion O'Banion, first and toughest of the north side gangster*

graduated from a district lieutenantship to the throne,and died in his florist’s shop in one of Chicago’s most pleasaningly picturesque murders. Heimie Weiss, taking the purple after him, got machine-gunned after a very brief and eventful reign, and died under the shadow of Holy Name Cathedral, shot down by irreverent south siders. Weiss was succeeded by a string of short-lived kings. The line at last came down to Jack Zuta, who shared with Bugs Moran the rulership of the north side. Moran’s case has already been discussed; Zuta was machine-gunned at a Wisconsin resort, a few months ago, after seeing his number go up in Chicago and fleeing desperately for shelter outside the state. At the time of his death he and Moran had lost their power and much of their riches, their organization never having been able to recover from the famous St. Valentine’s day massacre of 1929.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

U, S, ENVOY IS 'PINCH HITTER' Franco-ltalian Pact Latest Goal of Hugh Gibson. By Unitrd Press WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—One of the most delicate diplomatic assignments given any envoy since World war days is being discharged in Europe by Ambassador Hugh Gibson, 47-year-old suave veteran of every important international conference of the last decade. Depending almost entirely on the personal contacts he has built up with Europe’s leaders, Gibson is attempting to pave the way through a morass of troubles for a Francoltalian naval agreement. Officials who know him here express confidence that his informal talks with the foreign offices of Paris and Rome are far more likely to bring results than would reams of formal notes. Gibson, colloquially speaking, is the state department’s “trouble shooter,” or “pinch hitter.” Former Secretary Kellogg and Secretary Stimson have singled him out for service every time a troublesome situation arose in Europe. PREDICTS U. S. WILL CANCEL WAR DEBTS Congressman Sees Eventuality to Avert Another Conflict. By Scripys-lltiicard \ewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. I—America eventually will cancel Europe’s war debts, Representative Louis T. McFadden, chairman of the house committee on banking and currency, predicts in an article in the current issue of “The Magazine of Wall Street.” This country will be forced to choose cancellation in preference of war, McFadden believes. McFadden’s statement revives the possibility that cancellation may become an issue in the approaching session of congress. No such proposal now is pending, but since Congress adjourned last July there have been pronounced changes in the world economic situation.

CLARA ASSERTS HER GAMBLING DAYS ARE OVER Checkers, Dominos and Parchesi Her Games Now, Says Actress. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Nov. I.—Clara Bow’s gambling days are over, she told the United Press today. Never again, she said, will she participate in any of the games in which SIOO chips sometimes are mistaken for 50-cent pieces. Miss Bow recently stopped payment on checks in excess of SIO,OOO given at Calneva, Nev., when her luck was “simply terrible’’ at the gambing tables. She explained then that she held up the checks because she thought she was betting half-dollars instead of hundred dollar pieces. “Haye you been doing any gambling . recently?” the screen actress was asked. She shook her head in a vigorous “nc.” v “Do you expect to do any gambling in the near future, Miss Bow?” .The answer was no, again vigorous. Never to Gamble Again "Aren’t you even going to gamble again, Miss Bow?” Miss Bow looked annoyed and impatient and shook her nead viciously. “Well, Miss Bow, what are you substituting for roulette and things like that?” “I’m playing checkers,” she answered. “Checkers and dominoes and parchesi.” She said she learned those thrilling games on a recent train trip here from New York, where she went to make shots on her newest picture. In the way of romance, Miss Bow indicated that Rex Bell, young screen cowboy, heads her list at present. Breaks Richman Betrothal She has broken her Engagement with Harry Richman, New York night club owner, and didn’t even see him when she was in the east, she said. She refused even a shake of the head when questioned regarding the divorce action filed in San Francisco Thursday against Elmer F. Remmer, part owner of the Calneva resort where she mistook SIOO chips for 50cent pieces. In the divorce action Mrs. Remmer said her husband told her she was no longer of any use to him because he was able to “honob with the big shots,” since he received so much publicity through Miss Bow’s checks. Work to Be Divided MARION, Ind., Nov. I.—Curtis Green, Negro, awarded a contract for improvement of Fourteenth street by the city board of works, announces that he will divide the labor required betwen white and Negro men. He stated that he would employ at least fifty men.

She Landed Her Man

So tempestuous was the course of true love for John Higgins and Rose Andelone, above, of Camden, N. J., that a suicide attempt and a jail sentence brought about their engagement. It seems that Higgins, 22. was all too bashful in his love-making, so Rose, 18, despaired of ever becoming Mrs. Higgins and made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide. But when she was sentenced to 100 days in jail for her act, John pleaded so eloquently for her that sentence was suspended. They'll be married soon.

CLEANUP URGED BY CLUSWOHAN Mrs. W. C. Smith Speaks Over Radio for Democrats. Women of Marion county were asked to consider the qualifications of the Democratic candidates, and then join in the movement to clean up the courthouse, by Mrs. W. C. Smith, prominent club woman, in a radio address Friday night. “The good of Marion county and of the state has demanded that the Democratic party be kept in existence as a genuine political entity which might serve as the public’s instrument for a fine service,” Mrs. Smith said. “The opportunity is here now,’-’ she declared. “Toe only means of dislodging completely the group that had control in city hall was by a change of political party—the same thing was true of the schools. It is true now in regard to the courthouse and the statehouse. “Coffinism can not be dislodged for its place of power without removing the Republican party from power."

LEASE OF CITY LAND TO GOLF CLUB ASSAILED Civic Federation Will Sue to Break Contract on Woodstock Course. Federated Civic clubs united today to bring suit against park commissioners for annulment of a lease by which a few favored citizens enjoy the benefits of a fifty-acre municipal golf course bought with taxpayers’ money. The property, worth $150,000 and held by the Woodstock Club, is leased ata yearly rental of $6,000 which is but 4 per cent cn the bond issue the city floated to purchase the tract. Not only does the park board fail to profit from the laase but Indianapolis citizens are deprived from using a city golf course and park cite that is sorely needed, it was disclosed at a meeting of the federation In the Chamber of Commerce Friday night. Lease Was Renewed The question of whether the city has right to tax citizens for property to be leased to private individuals will be decided in the suit to be brought by a committee headed by Gustav G. Schmidt, appointed by Mrs. C. A. James, federation president. A report submitted at the civic meeting by Mrs. Robert Dennis showed the Woodstock tract contains a nine-hole golf course an I clubhouse under lease to the Woodstock Club until Sept. 30. 1940. “That the park* board never intends to let citizens have use of their property is indicated by the fact that the lease, which would have expired in September, 1930, was renewed in September, 1922, or eight years before the expiration date,” Schmidt contended. Taxes Lost to City At different times since the property has been under private lease, the park board has furnished labor and machinery to repair roads and replace shrubbery on the tract without charge to the Woodstock club, Mrs. Dennis reported. “It’s a poor business proposition for the city,” one civic leader declared. “If the Woodstock property were diwded into estates and taxed it would add nearly $2,000,000 to the city's taxable property, thus, giving the city an income of several thousand dollars, where under the present lease the city gets nothing,” another pointed out. That the park board paid $40,003.50 toward rebuilding the clubhouse destroyed in May, 1922,while Woodstock stood only $17,605.50 of the cost, also was criticised severely by the civic leaders. Further discussion on the matter will be held Tuesday night, Nov. 11. in the Rauh Memorial library at a meeting of the North Side Community Civic Clubs.
