Witte, superintendent of the hospital for the insane at Clarinda, and George Donohoe, superintendent of the hospital for insane at Cherokee. Drs.

GANGSTERS NO LONGER IDOLS' Capone Downfall Viewed as Aid for Youth. By Rcripps-HoKar'l Sexcspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, June 25.—The downfall of A1 Capone, caught in the trap of income tax evasion, should benefit the youth of the country by stripping leading underworld figures of artificial glamour, in the opinion of Elmer Lincoln Irey, chief of the Intelligence unit of the internal revenue bureau. The man who headed the Chicago drive and who has charge of the present anti-gangster offensive in New York said that Capone, as he appeared in court to plead guilty, was anything but a hero. "He has none of the outward appearance of a Jesse James or the bandit leaders of the last generation,” said Irey. “He was a very ordinary looking individual, five feet ten and a half inches tall, weighing 265 pounds and wearing a mustard-seed suit." ~ imk Week end EXCURSIONS EVERY WEEK FROM FRIDAY NOON *TIL MONDAY NIGHT Save time and money by traveling comfortably in fast electric trains.
