GUN THREAT IN EVICTION LAID TO CONSTABLE Prosecutor Told of Ouster of Family for Rent Default. Charge that, a Justice of the peace court constable moved to draw a gun to carry out his threat of entering a home to evict a family on the south side, was made today at the Marion county prosecutor’s office by William A. Loux, 512 Bell street. Loux's allegations to attaches of the county office are that Wednesday morning, he, his wife and four children, including a 2-year-old t baby, were ousted during a rain from their home at 1022 Hosbrook street. He charged the action was taken by Lesier Langlund, constable of the Washington township court, and another whose-: -name he had not learned. Owner Fails to Appear Records in the case show that Loux was served with a notice July 23 to move for nonpayment of rent. He was to appear in the justice court July 28. Loux said he was there and that the complainant, Mrs. Jennie Taylor. owner or the house, did not appear to prosecute. Justice court officials declare Loux failed to appear and he was granted until Wednesday to either pay the rent or move. They also deny reports that Langlund was drawing a revolver when he entered Loux’ house. Acocrding to Loux, Langlund appeared at the house Wednesday morning and asked Mrs. Loux if she were ready to move. She told him she couldn't move, having no place to go and that she didn't want to walk the streets with her babies, her husband said. Reached for Gun When Langlund reiterated that they must move, Loux said his wife told the constable “it will be over my dead body.’’ “If that’s the way you feel about, I’ll call the wagon,’ Langlund said, according to Loux. When the transfer company wagon arrived Langlund and the second contable again confronted the family, the second constable putting his foot in the door and reading a writ, Loux said. “We’re coming in,” Langlund said, according to Loux. “I told him to wait a minute,” Loux said. “He had a gun in his pocket and started to draw' it. The gun was half out of his pocket and he came in. Promised to Pay “When he got inside, he said ‘l’m ; in, ain’t I? It takes more than ! you to keep me out.’” Calling police, Loux said officers j took his wife and children to relatives at 512 Bell street and the furniture was removed to the O. K. Transfer Company. According to Loux he talked with Mrs. Taylor a few minutes before the constables arrived and she promised not to have them excited. Mrs. Loux, her husband said, has signed a promise to pay $6 a week on the back rent of $35 w'hile working at a local company. She obtained the job early this week, he said. Church Returns Belongings Loux said he had assurance of real estate company officials who handled the rental account and attaches that “they can’t move you.” The summons of July 23 was the - only writ served relative to eviction 1 of Loux, he declared. The furniture, now held for $19.50 storage bill, was given to the Loux larnily by friends and the congrega- j tion of a north side church following an investigation of the circumstances of the Loux family.

HOOVER CERTAIN U. S. IS ABLE TO MEET DISTRESS Cites Good Public Health as Factor in Effective Relief Program. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Corresnondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Presi- ! dent Herbert Hoover believes the nation is physically fit for the winter campaign against distress. The national public health “has apparently never been better than , over the last six months,” the President said after studying reports from Surgeon-General Hugh S. ' Cummings of the public health service. Cheered by Cummings’ findings and by acceptances from fifty-two of the sixty persons invited to serve on the advisory committee of the new unemployment relief organization, Hoover prepared to motor to his Rapidan camp with Walter S. Gifford, who will direct the relief campaign. Gifford was due at the White House early Sunday morning. In week-end conferences Hoover and Gifford are expected to evolve a definite plan of action on which j Gifford will begin work when he returns to Washington Monday. Statesmen to Rapidan Fred C. Croxton, acting head of the emergency employment com- I mittee which has been functioning for nearly a year, will join in the Rapidan discussions. This organization will become part of the new agency, with Croxton as Gifford’s chief assistant. Other guests invited to camp were Chairman Will R. Wood of the house appropriations committee; secretary of Argiculture Arthur M. Hyde and Senator Townsend (Rep.,! Del.).^ Discussing the state of the public j health. Hoover told newspapermen that rl have had some years of ex- i periejice in dealing with problems of distress and relief, as some of you know.” “We have always tested the efficacy of relief by the reflex in | public health,” he said. i Confidence Heightened “The general mortality, the infant | mortality, the sickness in the coun- j try was less in the winter of 1931 than in the winters of full employment of 1928 and 1929.” Public health- apparently has never been better than it has been over the last six months. “It is a most creditable showing of the effort which the country made last winter and one for which the voluntary organizations and local officials are entitled to a very great deal of credit.” Hoover’s confidence was heightened also by acceptances from fifty-two of the business, labor, religious and charity leaders invited to serve on the advisory commit-, tee. Os the remaining eight, two have been too ill to accept and six are on vacations where they could not be reached.

The killing of “Billy” McSwiggin is written into the annals of Illinois crime as the outstanding example of gangdom mystery and power. He was only 26 when he died, a brilliant youth who as assistant state's attorney already had sent so many men to the gallows he was known as “the hanging prosecutor,” About 8:40 the night of April 17, in 1926, young McSwiggin and two other men were mowed down by machine gun fire in front of a saloon in Cicero, the suburb' then reportedly ruled by “Scarface Al” Capone.

I theory was McSwiggin was mistaken by Capone gunners for Hymie Weiss, a gangster enemy of Capone. “Os course. I didn't kill him,” said Capone. “I liked the kid.” Five special grand juries investigated the case. Every detective in the city worked on it at one time or another. Many men were accused. Anthony McSwiggin. known as a “tough copper,” made his own investgation. He named Capone.

Governor Murray announced that two purchasers had offered to meet his $1 demand, but that he refused to open the fields until all the companies agreed to this price. “Let the whole bunch get together.” he said.
