‘BRAINS' BEHIND CAPONE PICKED TO RULE GANG Racket Sees Hymie Levin as Man Who May Step Into Throne. BY ROBERT T. LOUGHRAN United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—Underworld politics already is electing a successor to A1 Capone. Perhaps the “pre-election’’ hubbub will prove unnecessary. A jury in United States district court, which has heard Capone’s income tax fraud trial, will decide. If Capone is forced to abdicate the post of gang despot he has held for six years, an astute, cocky Jewish man with a flair for spats and a cane is considered the likely candidate for the office. He's a Poor Shot Hymie Levin, good natured but shrewd, a redoubtable foe across the contract bridge table, but a poor shot with a pistol or machine gun, since he probably never was shot either, is the logical successor to A1 Capone. The choice lies between Hymie and a taller, heavier man with the same sort of sleeked black hair, Murray Humphries, also a heretofore silent partner in the Capone syndicate. Few have heard of Levin and Humphries. Their names have not appeared in the stories of Chicago’s gang wars. Neither is the killer type. Both Are “Brains” But both long have been the “brains” of the Capone gang, with ill-fated Jack Cuzik, who faces five years in the penitentiary for income tax evasion, and a few others counted out. Hymie Levin is the man to head the gang,’’ came the opinion of the Capone underlings today. “If A1 has to do a stretch, Hymie can carry on. “Murray Humphries ought to be second in command. He’s smart—but he’s not as smart as Hymie. Hymie is the guy who made the rackets pay dividends when A1 was in jail in Philadelphia.” 115 MOTORISTS TAGGED Stale Police Stop 450 Cars in Drive at Richmond. By Times Special RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 16. Tickets were given 115 motorists here Thursday night by state police engaged in a drive against operating vehicles without drivers’ licenses.

By Scripps-Howard Neicpapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Sixtyfive per cent of the 2,000,000 World war veterans who have made loans on their soldier bonus certificates used the money for personal and family neejls. Thirty-two per cent of the veterans obtaining loans were unemployed when they applied for the cash. These official figures have just been furnished by Frank T.

Patman, who was one of the lead- | ers in the fight for the 50 per cent bonus loan bill in the last session of I congress ( learned recently that the ; veterans’ administration had underj taken a study to determine how the ! money loaned was spent by the exsoldiers. Besides giving the percentages for family needs and to jobless Hines wrote to Patman, that: “The per cent of veterans who used funds secured for investment purposes was 20 per cent. “The per cent of veterans who used funds secured for the purchase of automobiles, purpose undetermined, was 8 per cent. “The per cent of veterans who utilized funds in such a way as to receive no practicable benefits therefrom was 7 per cent.” On the basis of General Hines’ figures, 640,000 unemployed veterans borrowed; 1,300,000 borrowed for personal and family needs; 400,000 to make investments; 160,000 to purchase autos and other undetermined purposes, and 140,000 received ‘‘no practicable benefits.” The latest figures at the veterans’ administration offices Sept. 12, show that there have been up to 2,195,267 If you want to buy, sell or lease property, use a Times Want Ad.

BARE WEDDING OF CAB DRIVER, YOUNG HEIRESS Taxi Pilot and 18-Year-Old Bride Move Into $90,000 Home. By United Press BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Oct. 16 The romance of a taxi-driver and an 18-year-old heiress to Oklahoma oil land riches, was revealed today in the marriage of Florence A. McAllister and Edward Challette. Although the couple was married several weeks ago, culminating a rapid-fire romance of less than a fortnight, the affair did not become

known until they moved into a $99,000 home here. Mrs. Challette is the daughter of the late Mrs. Florence McAllister, who died last year leaving an estate of $3,000,000 to three children. Her income is reported as $240,000 a year. Challette formerly was chauffeur for Warner Baxter, film star, but at the time he met the heiress was driving a cab. Miss McAllister, while living with her brother and sister here, lived without ostentation, but derived great pleasure from riding in taxi cabs. She met Challette the first night he was assigned to the film colony district. Soon after, she hired him as her chauffeur, and they were married within two weeks.
