Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS

XTEW YORK. March 2 Some Atv eeks ago a distinguished •talesman contrived a list of men Jvho are doing big things in this country, and while I am a bit vague jet the moment as to the identities M all the honored gentlemen, I don’t believe I err when I say the name of Scarface A1 Capone was hot among them. Surely, it must be evident to all and sundry by now that Capone is a very powerful figure in the American picture, with a peculiar and growing grip on-the public imagination. a st it Vou rtmd of hi* return to Chicago to face Rome minor charge in the court* and how thousand* cheered him, and other thousand* fought for a rhance to *ee him. normally branded by vice investigator* as a nubile must, placed at the top of the ranking, above all other Chicago dt oeradoet, Caoone return* to And himself the •object of a boisterous welcome, with such trie* as "atta boy Al" and "we're for you Al” bursting pleasantly around hi* ears. a a tr 1 don't suppose too much significance Should be placed upon the Incident, at that, because In a pinch, it would not be a very difficult Uriel; to assemble a few thousand admiring hoodlums at anv point where Capone was scheduled to appear. And vet there is lust a chance that not all of these neopie were tollers in the glneaoole orchards of Cicero. There may ave been one or two shv citizens out on the far rim of the crowd who felt that they owed It to the completeness of their education to get an eveful of the man Who commands so much space In the newspapers. non FOR several years Capone has been spending his winters on Palm island, an artificially created tropical tract in Miami, and with tourists his home is the most popular show place in the city, or on the east coast for that matter. nun Practically the first thing the prim little lady rfom Bridgeport wants to see is Where Capone lives and while the megaphone boys on the sight-seeing busses are restrained bv municipal ukase from direct- j tng attent'on to the while and red stucco ' paiace which loiters bark of a row of royal palms standing like armed renli- | pels, they are giad to show the customers , the place If asked—and generally they arc Asked. nan I have heard It said, of course, that Capone's business methods are not always ■trictlv ethical and I believe there have been times when he has been suspected of brmecesiar" roughness, clipping and piling on, but wl tever his methods he seems to pnjov a mounting prosperity In the face Os a critical business slump. It was i Charged in a Chicago court that Capone’s current beer sales amount to $2,000,000 weekly, which would seem to be quite a laess of beer. o*o Buw tnese figures compare with the pre-Hoover administradays is not known because CaE bone’s business technique apparently does not embrace such stuffy Retails as graphs, charts and tables, phowing relative gains and losses, t any rate, they are never to be und in the financial sections of 'en the most alert newspapers. a** I am told by one of Capone’s Msociatevi that tbc “big fellow,” as he ■ known to the boys, wants to get away tom It all and retire and live among esnectable people. This accounts for his mgrrness to court the company of newstaper writers, particularly in Miami where le entertains against a spectacular backEound. Any fair to middling newspaper in is welcome to call upon him. 000 It is a matter of record that “no lirnalist has vet asked Capone whether ever shot a man. or how many or lere. Personally I don’t think I should re to be the first one to ask such a estlon. For the most part these sessions th the press representatives are devoted creating a feeling of sympathy for pone, who is presented to his guests t only as a grossly misunderstoodfperson t a martyr to police hysteria and ifficlency.
