' - -ji HAPPENNINGS OF THE WEEK \ NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Chicago Disgraced by War of Politicians and Crim inal'Gangs. By EOWARD W. PICKARO tXTARFAUIfi between Itepubllcnn frictions In Chicago has readied such a stage of virulence that the en tire nation Is not only interested but amazed and shocked. Lenders of both sides, most of them candidates for ?oinination in the approaching pri maries, profess lofty motives and per sonal uprightness, but the evident truth Is that all of theiu are tuuking use of the lowest criminal elements in the great city. It is a war of gangs and whatever may be said of the can didates, there Is nothing to choose be tween the two crews of vicious thugs that are employed. Last Week a long aeries of bomb outrages was climaxed by the bombing 6f the homes of Sen ator Charles S. Deneen, leader of the faction opposing the Small-Thompson Crowe crowd, and of Judge Swanson, running against Crowe for the state's attorneyship nomination. Kach fac tion blamed the other for this affair, and the authorities up to the time of writing have failed to tind the perpe trators despite offers of reward to taling $65,(KM) and complete Immunity. Unprejudiced observers are convinced that the struggle betweeu rival gangs of "alky* dealers and bootleggers la closely connected with the political conflict as well as being responsible tor the numerous murders and bomb ings; and the gamblers and others en gaged in organized crime also are deeply Interested. SENATOR Frank B. WWIs* sudden death In hl9 -home flown, Delaware, Ohio, changed the Republican pre con vent ion campaign startlingly. He had been carrying on a strong tight against Hoover for the Ohio delega tlon and Lowden had not entered the state. The demise of Willis- seemed to leave the secretary of commerce unopposed there, hut it was pointed out that 34 of the 51 Willis candi dates had named Lowden us their second choice, and others had given Curtis or Watson second place In their preference. Olrio ipeinhers of ? congress said it would he impossible to drop the name of Willis from the primary ballot. It is assumed that Coventor Dona hey of Ohio, a Democrat, will appoint a member of.his party to till out the unexpired term of WlJIis. and the pre diction is made that lie will select At lee Pnmerene. Lowden was indorsed by the Mis souri state convention, and was as sured of 21 of Minnesota's 27 votes; while Hoover was pledged the sup port of the Maine delegation. Wat son's fight on Hoover in Indiana was becoming very lively, the senator es pecially attacking the secretary's atti tude on Interiiutiboal tames. If lind been believed Hoover would t?e unop posed in New Jersey, but lowden has now entered the primaries In that state. Hoover'* board of strategy has estimated tliuf the secretary lacks only flit votes, to Insure his nomination. :ind If thail is true it ts apparent that Mel lon, controlling the Pennsylvania dele gufion. controls the situation On the Democratic side the Cullfor nia primaries attract at tent Ion. for the tight there is three-skied. Smith. Walsh and Iteed all being contenders. It luid been hoped there would he a clean-cut contort between Smith and Walsh In South Dakota. Ihii Hie male iHMiiocrutic lendnrs. for l?M-ai reasons, hare prevented fids. Dry Democrats of the South assert that the only southern delegations that Smith run . get in southern states are those of Ar kansas and Louisiana In Arizona the state ceutrah committee >?p|?ot tiled twelve delegates, uulnstrueted. but M was raid Ihey were favorable to the Smith candidacy. WITHoU'i ? dissenting vote the senate passed the revised Jones hill authorizing the expenditure of f325.01MMNN? for flood control on the tower Mississippi river The measure does not entirely meet the views of pr??hl??rtt f'oolldjre Wlillo li rWlnr?s for the retention of the prlndple of local coiitrlhutlou for flood works. It exprendy relieves local Interests of further contributions toward this par ticular project. Neither Is there any mention of an economic commission to study tli<* financial condition of the people along the lower Mississippi, as recommended by the President. In all other respects Mr. Coolldge likes It heller rluin the Iteed plan approved hy the house committee. The Jones hill, as parsed by tlie senate, recognises lliy principle of fo cal contributions as sound, hut asserts that the previous espeuditure of $292. OOO.tNNt h.v local Interests In the Mis sissippi valley represent? a full com pliance with this principle. Instead of creating a new commission, II pfie vldes thai the work shall l>e In linme* diute charge of the present Missis sippl river commission under the dl rectlon the secret a r; of war and the supervision of the chief of engi neers. This represents u continuation of present policies and Is a feature which has been insisted upon hy the administration. It also provides that the*Jadwln plan, as recommended to congress by President Coolldge. shall be tbe basis of the Mood control scheme. Provision Is made for a board to reconcile engineering differ ences between the Jadwin plan aod the Mississippi river commission plan It is expected that the construction of the flood control works will re quire a period of eight or ten years and that the appropriation for the first year will be from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000. ANOTHER big measure wis pawed unanimously bj the house?the tiHval apiiroprletlon hill carrying $360,000,(100. The total of $48,000,000 la provided for cunllnul|ig construe fton of eight 10,000-ton cruisers and two fleet suhinartnea. $6,373,000 Is carried Tor modernization .work and gun elevation work on two battleships, and an additional $31,313,600 goes for naval aviation. When the marine corps appropria tions came up the Democrats attempt ed to ascertain the cost of maintain Ing marines In Nicaragua.' When this failed Representative Abernethy <Dem? N. C.), criticized the sending of American marines to Nicaragua to oversee elections DY A vote of IS to 6, the house com L) nilttee on agriculture approved a revised Mc.N'ury-Haugen farm relief Idll. The Ketcham export ilelienture plan was rejected by a vote of 13 to 8. The mensure Is similar to the te vised plan offered by Senator Mr Nary, chairman on agriculture, and reported favorably by that committed. It provides for marketing agreements with m-operatlves for the handling of surplus crops nnd the payment of losses by means of an equalization fee assessed u|>on the entire produc tion only when price stabilization Is not obtained through the use of gov ortiment loans. I.Ike the McNsry hill, i he house tneasnre also eliminates re strlctions upon the aptsdntment of members of the proposed farm board and otherwise seeks to ineet objec tions raised when President Coolldge vetoed the MrXsry-Hnugen plan In the last congress .

The regula tions give evidence of Mexico's deter mlnntion to recognize the rights held by foreigners In oil properties prior to the adoptlnu of the Constitution of 1017. Those who jtnke contlrmntory concessions under the amended Inw get a confirmation of their old rights rather than a new grant of rights The government at Washington Is sat isfied with the settlement, and If the oil men are not they will probably have to light alone hereafter.

Illinois mine operators declined to hold further wage parleys with the union until the latter agrees to arbl trate for a wage scale leas than that provided for ' In the Jacksonville agreement, which meant that most of the mines In the state would close down.
