CHICAGO’S RUM ROW
DEATH TOLA. NEAR END
Principal Bands at Beer Runners Are
About “Shot to Pieces.’’
Chicago, Sept. 28.— UP)— The death
r«U of Chicago’s Rum Row, which
,h«* reached 75 in the last two years
ttf_gjuqfwarferer i* ainms'i complete,
in the opinion of veteran pol’ce ob
served, and . the principal bands of
beef fuhttefs and alcohol dealers are
about “shot to pieces.”
The leaders and many of the fol
lowers of these gangs have been the
object of elaborate funerals, or arc in
the hands of police and federal author
ities. The i-oroner's statistics show
that mauy more have been eliminated
by bullets than by law, but eventually
most of the still alive have been ar
rested, and another "wild west" epic,
as lurid as any of the past, is closed.
Beginning of “War.”
A police legend now accepted as fact
traces the beginning of the gang war
to the death, in November, 11)24, of
Mike Merlo,^acknowledged leader of
the West side Italians. He is said to
have forbidden hostilities against riv
als in the business of manufacturing
and dispensing .illicit liquor. While
he lived, occasional liquor robberies
known as “hijacking" were the only
outbursts. Merlo died of pneumonia,
not bullets.
The day following his funeral, Dion
O’Banion. head of a composite group,
chiefly with Irish surnames, was shot
down nnd the war was on. Sometimes
the police were able to encounter an
auto load of gangsters and a few of
them met death in conflict with the
law. But nearly always competitors
got to them first with little or no
traces of the assassins.
Revenge in Death.
Os Merlo's lieutenants were the six
Genna brothers, three of whom were
quiekly slnin in revenge for the O'-
Banion shooting. Mauy of the other
gangs were “taken for a ride,” shot
and thrown from an automobile along
suburban roads.
An assistant state’s attorney, James
MeSwiggan, happened to get in the
way of a gangster’s machine gun,
and was killed, with two others. One
of them, the man really sought, was a
boyhood friend of MeSwiggan.
The death roll grew until 54 names
were added in the first eight months
of 11)26 and then the leaders of the
Saltis-McErlane group, about the last
of the list, were taken on murder
charges.

TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY - i

Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Sept. 28.—The teachers of
North Carolina will again meet in
Italeigh for the annual convention of
I’.ie North Carolina Teachers’ Asso
ciation on Mard) 24, 25 and 26, it
has been announced by Jule B. War
ren, secretary of the association. The
date was selected at a meeting of the
executive committee here recently
when plans for the convention were
worked out, and fully 2,000 teachers
from ait sections of the State are ex
pected to attend.
As was to be expected, the asso
ciation plans to put up a determined
fight for the eight months school term
and will bring all its pressure to bear
to get One general assembly to submit
the question to a vote of the people.
And from present indications, it is
believed that the approaching general i
assembly will do this. However, if it
does submit the question to the peo
ple as a constitutional amendment in
the general election of 1028 the as
sociation plans to keep up an unre
lenting campaign in favor of the long
er school term, and have it submitted
to the people in 1030.
However, the members of the as
sociation' feel very liiut’j encouraged
at the manner in which the longer
school term is being regarded over the
state and the surprising thing is that
more opposition lias not developed, ac
cording to Mr. Warren.
“The response so far has been very
gratifying,” said Mr. Warren today,
"and we {gel much encouraged at the
outlook tor the eight mont’.is school
term. seem to be realizing
1 the need for it more and more, and
while tßfre is still much opposition
to it*in some quarters, we are hoping
that this ftin eventually be overcome.”
Speakers for the convention have
not yet been decided upon, but they
1 will be men of outstanding note in the
1 educational world, Mr. Warren said.

NOT READY TO LET
NEWTON CONTRACT
Page Refutes Recently Published In
terview Promising Action in Oc

Raleigh. Sept. 28.—Contract for
the Statesville-Xewton link of Route
10, recently featured ill a Supreme
Court case, will not be let any time
soon, according to Frank Page. State
Highwny Commissioner, yesterday,
when his attention was called to a
I published interview purporting to be
from W. C. Wilkinson, commissioner
from the Sixth District, stating j
that the contract would be let in
October. "The contract will not be
let within the next month." said Mr.
Page.
Survpys nre being made with a
view to avoiding the route which the
Highway Commission is enjoined
from building, and to comply with
the law as interpreted by the Su
preme Court, which said that the
Highway Commission must follow
the 1921 legislative mail. Mr. Page
said that he did not know when the
road would be in shape for the con
tract to be let, but indicated that. H.
might be some time before a route
could be determined uflpn . which
wou’d not be open so further in
junctions.
An injunction waa secured by the
town of Newton to force the High
way Commission to bring the high
way by the new court house rather
than through the edge of town as
planned by the commission. The case
was taken to the Supreme Court,
which upheld the contentions of
Newton, nnd added some restrictions
of their own.
The link is about 20 miles long,
lying half in Catawba and half in
Iredell. It also includes a concrete
bridge over the Catawba river, and
the entire project is expected to cost
about $1,000,000. Iredell and Cataw

EPIDEMIC DANGER |

PHYSICIANS AND
NURSES PRAISED
Conditions Improving So
i Rapidly Troops Will Be
Relieved of Duty in Sev
! eral Cities Today.
West Palm Beach. Sept. 28.—OP)—
Belief that all danger from an epi- j
domic in Florida's hurricane stricken
area has passed, has been expressed
by doctors, nurses and relief workers j
in the score or more communities in
the path of the gale.
Timely warning by the press, ideal
weather, energetic efforts of doctors
and nurses and the response of the
populace to immunization efforts has
fast minimized danger of epidemic,
according to Dr. William R. Redden,
director of the Red Cross.
"The splendid immunization work
of the doctors constituted one of the
finest pieces of preventive work the
country has ever seen outside of mili
tary forces," he said. "The few cases
of typhoid fever and other diseases
now found are hardly more than the
usual number at this time of the
year."
Inoculation continued yesterday,
and several hundred persons in vari
ous sections of the storm area bared
their arms to the anti-typhoid needle.
I With the clearing of wreckage, the
growing means of sheltering the home
less and the rebuilding of sanitation
systems progressing, national guards
men who have been assisting civil au
t’.iorities in the storm-torn communi
tics have begun to lenve for their
homes.
A small contingent left Miami yes
terday with others scheduled to leave
within the next few days.
Troops at Fort Lauderdale will be
ordered back to Orlando, their mobil
ization point, today it was announced
by Major Preston Ayres.
Requests for assistance from ap
proximately 490 persons huve been
received from the citizens relief com
mittee nt Miami. Actual needs in
each case will govern the extent of
aid given, officials said.'
Accurate information as to the num
ber of dead, seriously injured or miss
ing will not be available for several
days, the Red Cross announced.
The number of known dead com
piled fr.om various sources and <licok
ed by newspaper men remains in the
vicinity of 400. The number of miss
ing is estimated between 150 and 300
in the entire disaster area. The se
riously injufed now total 1.800 with
approximately 75 expected to die. I
Four bodies were found in swamps
near Progreso yesterday, according to
police headquarters in Fort Lauder
dale. The body of a negro was
washed up on the beach near West
Palm Beach. Mrs. Hazel Simpson,
of Indianapolis, died from injuries re
ceived when her Progreso home was
demolished. A Child was killed in
Fort Lauderdale when a house which
was being razed collapsed.
Want Government Seaplanes.
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 28.—C V) —
Advised by the Pensacola naval air
station that no seaplanes were avail
able there. Gov. John W. Martin to
day applied to Secretary of War Wil
bur for two seaplanes from another
station to assist in the recovery of
bodies in the Moorehaven hurricane
section.
1 The Governor yesterday requested
the commandant at Pensacola to send
two planes to Pglmdale to. assist the
1 National Guard in its efforts to take
the hurricane toll from the flooded ca
nals and countryside. The Command
er replied that owing to damage to
seaplanes as a result of the tropical
storm's ravages there, it would not be
possible to aid from that end.
• Secretary Wilbur was asked to
• have the seaplanes report to Col. S. L.
t Lowry, who is in charge of the mili
tary which has evacuated Moorehaven
. of its population until it can make
the community safe again for human
habitation.
