The body was completely dressed, and revealed seven bullet wounds, >ll received, police said, before his overcoat and undercoat had been put on. Woman Answers Phone Cali Their theory was he had been lain while partly undressed, rundled into a car and thrown in the gutter. A hotel key- ring, and business cards found in the slain man’s pockets led to a phone call to Mario’s hotel room, answered by a teminine voice. The woman who answered hastily fled before arrival of the police who had called her. Her identity is unknown. Investigation of Mario's record showed him closely linked with major gang operations in Chicago and the middle west for several years. His activities included: Sought for St. Louis murder. April 9, 1929. Sought in Chicago murder, Dec. 1, 1930. Served Term in Prison Served two terms in Ohio penitentiary between 1916 and 1919 as lames T.

HENRY BLOCKS JOBLESS AID Councilmen Fling Charges at G. 0. P, Member. With councilmen hurling accusations at George fienry, Republican member, it was not deemed likely today that a special session of the city board will be called to pass two unemployment relief measures. Henry blocked action on them Monday night when, after becoming irked over postponement of his taxi control ordinance, he voted against suspension of the rules for passage. The proposals would have divided $60,000 between the street and city engineering departments providing jobs for 200. He said he was not aware of the nature of the proposed ordinances. “If Henry has said he didn’t know those ordinances were to relieve unemployment, that’s sufficient reason why I won’t favor calling a special meeting now—to save him from criticism” President Ernest Ropkey stated. “When he heard the remainder of the council voting in favor of the action, he should have inquired what his negative was being cast on.” Other councilmen characterized Henry’s politics as “boyish,” and Ropkey added he was willing to give Henry “two weeks to think over his foolish action.” RA!LROAdI)ONDUCTOR IS CLAIMED BY DEATH Oran W.

DIVIDED REPORT ON BILLS READY Curb on Appliance Sale by Utilities Sought. Divided committee reports will be presented in the senate today on the bills to curb utility competition in selling appliances and to t?jc erection of telephone and telegraph poles along highways. Senator Earl Rowley (Rep., Laporte and Starke) held a public hearing on the bills Tuesday afternoon. Dealers in gas and electrical appliances from throughout the state testified that salesmen for utilities were selling stoves, radios and vacuum cleaners by strong arm methods. They tell purchasers that unless these things are bought from them they will refuse to furnish power, it was asserted. Attorneys for the utilities declared that such salesmanship was not carried on with their consent and will be stopped. The appliance bill also provides tliat any purchase of more than SSOO by utilities must be advertised and let to the lowest bidder. This was opposed by the utility men on the grounds that emergency purchases have to be made to retain service. • 3 SENTENCED, FINED ON LIQUOR CHARGES Proprietor, Employe of City Hotel, Draw Thirty-day Terms.

BUTLER SPEAKS AT SOUTH BEND; MUM ON ITALY Crime Capital in New York, Not Chicago, Club Told in Talk. By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Feb. 18.— Major General Smedley D. Butler had “a hell of a good scrap” with the “grafters” in but nevertheless he’s “no reformer.” he told 300 members of the South Bend Knife and Fork Club, in his first address since he made the now famous “hit and run” charge against Premier Mussolini of Italy. The colorful army officer who brought about International complications by his recent reference to II Duce made no mention whatever of Mussolini Tuesday night in his first public appearance since the incident and only once did he even refer to Italy. “When the crime problem is solved, Al Capone will go back to Italy,” he said, then added quickly: “But I can’t talk about that.” New York Hoodlum Capital Such was the extent of his remarks concerning things Italian, but of crime, its methods, and its results he said much. Members of the club shouted their approval, especially when he said that New Y’ork, not Chicago, is the center of the nation’s crime. “I’m no purist or reformer; I’m bad,” Butler said in denying charges made against him after he went to Philadelphia to direct a “general cleanup” of crime condition in that city. “I wasn’t in office fifteen minutes until the Philadelphia politicians declared war on me and before two years were out, the mayor who hired me was fighting me,” he said. Crime Thoroughly Organized “Crime,” he declared, “is thoroughly organized on a national scale—and the orders come out of New York. Yet we have to fight this crime with little local police organizations. “Politicians unfaithful to their office should be hanged. They blame prohibition, but I’ll be for it until somebody finds a better system.. “Any police forced could clean up their city in,twenty-four hours if they wanted to—and the city administration wanted to.” RECORDS TO BE OPENED Measure Would Require Accounts From Road Contractors. Records of highway contractors’ associations will be made public under provisions of a measure introduced in the senate by Senators Winfield Miller (Rep., Marion), Robert L. Moorhead (Rep., Marion) and J. Francis Lochard (Dem., Dearborn, Jennings and Ripley). Under provisions of the all records of such associations must be filed with the state.

SPLIT IN HOUSE ADDS TO POWER OF LONGWORTH Speaker Reveals Strength in Cleavage With Tilson on Hoover Bills. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Political interest at the Capitol focused today upon a split in the Republican leadership of the house from which Speaker Nicholas Long worth ; has emerged with something of the commanding influence which attached to his office before the revolt against Cannonism in 1910. The split is between LongvAorth and the tall, handsome John Q. Tilson, Republican floor leader, a Connecticut Yankee who was born i in Tennessee. Tilson hitherto has formed with the Speaker and Chairman Betrand H. Snell (New York), of‘the rules committee, a triumvirate of power about which legends were beginning j to gather. On two important controversial matters, drought relief and the vet- ■ erans’ loan bill, Tilson boldly has j taken up the cudget for the administration. In each case, Longworth has overruled him and carried his point by support of the house. Defeat of Tilson and his relegation to a post of minor importance in house councils, at least for the present, peculiarly has been noticeable because of his outspoken championship of the administration tq I the bitter end. Full realisation of the power of j Longworth came when Tilson sat ! glumly in his place and listened to i the roll-call on the veterans bill in | which only thirty-eight others raised their “noes” for the administration.

DR. E. E. CULP, M. D„ 6200 S. Halstead St„ Chicago, 111., head of the Englewood Health Institute, a physician whose valued opinion of Sargon will be studied word for word by thousands of patients in many cities.

“I find in the Sargon formula an extraordinary combination of proven ingredients which, in my opinion, should prove most beneficial to vast numbers of our people,” declared Dr. Culp, who was expressly retained to make a study of this prescription so that he might give to readers the full truth about Sargon. “Thousands of persons suffer with simple anemia, as we call a thinblood condition. Loss of weight, tired, irritable, nervous and debilitated state, pale cheeks, lack of ambition, poor memory are usually present. None can challenge Sargon’s powerful influence in helping to build red blood corpuscles, thereby improving nutrition and weight to a more normal state.

Prominent New Jersey St. Woman Victim of GasBloating—Finds Lasting Benefits in Sargon 1

Mrs. Lee Shucraft, 418 N. New Jersey St., Indianapolis, well-known club woman, who is a member of the G. A.

For the first time in ten years I am free of attacks of indigestion with none of that horrible gac me to bloat up miserabl .... .*M!natic pains in my left knee, which were caused by toxic poisons in my intestines, have left me.

Sargon’s Influence on Liver Secretions. “A sickly complexion, biliousness. gas formations, acidity, constipation—these and several other ills result these days from a liver sluggish in its important bile-se-creting duties. The makers of Sargon are to be congratulated for having included in the formula the only recognized means of rousing this vital action!
