ASTONISHING

(Continued from Page 1)

General Mitchell, tn recommend a 2 1-2 year term if Capone would plead guilty. President Hoover nom- inated Wllkcrscn as an indorsement of his vigor. .

Since, however, strong opposition tothenomineehasarisenfromor- ganized labor because of the past decisions of the jurist.

Johnson's inside story cf the 3W- emmentis long battle to put Ca/pone and 111g gang 1n jail held those who heard h‘s testimony fascinated.

He said the "unbelievable arrog- ance" of Capone in making the terms of the agreement public, after Wilkerson had first approved it, led to the upset. The most amazing part of Johnson's sensational testimony was hk description ofithe power 0f gangland, the intimidation oif witnesses, and the forces the govern- ment had to overcome in administ- ering justice against the powerful rackcteers.

yvitnasses called to testify against 8mm!!! had a “stock phrase," he said, which was: “l! you want to send me to prison, all right, but I will not talk, because you know I will be taken for a ride."

"That is true," Johnson com- mented, as he told of a. man who "gave evidence which was very helpful to the government"- about the “Juliane mob" which was cred- ited with many murders.

"Just before Christmas, 1029," Johnson said, "I took him before the grand jury and talked to him about 1i. o'clock. We were getting ready to return an indictment but that night he was murdered before 9 o'clock. I have had many ex- periences of that kind."

The district attorney told of a conspiracy case against twenty-one men in which six oi them were murdered before the case went to trial and eight oi their associates, including some witnesses, were killed. ‘

Turning to the Capone case, ‘Johnson described how the govem- ment had finally got him by first working on his associates and put- ting them in Jail.

"First we convicted Ralph Ca- pone, then Frank Nltti, who was a partner in these gambling enter- prises," Johnson said. "Ralph Capone's work was in prostitution and in selling beer and in gambling. Nittl was on the alcohol side oi the racket. _

“I might add their overturn was very large. We tracked about 8500,- 000 to Nitti, nearly $2,000,000 to Ralph Capone.

"Of course, it is the money that gives‘ these people the power.

“This process of breaking down these. partners was a plan to reach Al Capone. In nearly every case we prosecuted we got some leads and some evidence."

The conference, the former Pre- mier of Ontario said, "is spoken oi history. Independent of politics, independent oi everything else, it is realized that the Empire is facing a termination of its dcflsildeiiiic Oil intematicnal contacts."

Mr. Iibrguson spoke of Canadian finances. “British people of all walks of life are tremendously im- pressed with our financial strength," he said. "They have seen our big conversion loans taken up by the people. They have seen our muni- olpal and provincial bonds absorbed by Canadians."

Thinks The West i/Vill Have Good Crop This Year

(Special to the Guardian)

MONCTON, N. B., April 2—-West- crn Cairoda is going to continue to grow wheat, and if expectations hold out the West ivill have a good crop this year, declared F. H. Walsh, superintendent of Agricul- ture for the Canadian National Railways who arrived in Monctoii this afternoon cn the Ocean Limit- ed. Later he will attend an agri- cultural conference represcni-ing all three Maritime Provinces to be held in Amherst next wcck at which he will be cnc of the speakers.

Continuing he said: "While many countries are growing wheat at present prices they are unable to compete with the Canadian product with the exception possibly of Rus- isia. which for the time bbing at any rate is not a serious competitor. To grow wheat economically re- ~quircs large tracts of lands and in ilie older countries these are not available clue to larger pcpulniioils nd. smaller areas.

(Canadian Press)

FREDERICTON, N. B., April. 2_ D. Leo Dolah of Fredericton, dir- ector of the New Brunswick infor- mation tourist bureau has been in- vited by the ‘Canadian Amateur Hockey Association to attend its annual meeting at Toronto on the 6th inst, but has replied that of- ficial duties about that time will require his presence in this city and he will be unable to attend.

The request for his presence was connected with certain statements published on the authority of Mr. Dolan that disguised professional- ism exists in senior hockey in the Maritime Provinces.

To Abolish U. S. Shipping Board

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2 — In the interests of economy and efficency, President Hoover today risked abolition of the United Stat- es shipping board, wh‘ch was raised by the World War from a small regulatory body to a colossal agency of administration and finance.

In a formal statement, the Presi- dent suggested that Congress trans- fcr the admlifstrative functions of the pressnt board to other govern- ment departments handling ship- ping matters. He advised that a

small regulatory board, composed perhaps of the present members, be substituted. In this way, Mr. Hoov- er thought, Government aid to ship- ping could be carried on more econ- omically and efficiently, thus sav- ing some of the $100,000,000 now spent annually in direct and in- direct govemment aid to sea com- merco.

committee will be completed. This, of course, will be dependent on Mr. Ferguson's evidence not opening up new ground which might require the submission of further testimony.

The House tomorrow will take up the unemployment want of confid- ence motion of Peter Keenan, for- mer Minister of Labor after which it will go into supply.

Discussions of the railway situa-

tion will likely form an important part of this week's developments. The annual report of the ifiiuiudian National Railways together with its estimates may be brought down. In addition the royal commission on transportation under the chairman- ship of Mr. Justice Dufl.’ will resume sittings on Tuesday. It was intim- ated in the House by the Prime Minister on Friday that the com- mission might not be ready to sub- mit an interim report before the session closed. The radio committee of the House will resume sittings as will the 118F1- cultural committee on its study of garnet wheat.

downstairs was removed, but they lost ail their clothes except what they had on.

Neighbors were quickly on the spot. Their efforts were chiefly di- rected to keeping the fire from spreading to Mr. H. B. Bernard's store across the road and other nearby buildings. The Summeruide firemen were called, but could not get out on account of the bad condi- tion of the roads. Willing hands pumped water and a steady stream was kept on the buildings in the danger zone. The barns of Mr. Creswcll and Mr. Holland caught several times, but the heroic efforts of those fighting the fire saved them. In less than two hours the store and dwelling house of Mr. Cannon and Mr. CreswelYs house were reduced to ashes, only a quan- tity of coal in the cellars was still burning. Tile windows in Mr. Ber- nard's store were cracked and the building was badly scorched. For- tunately the high-school next door to Cannon's store was not in danger as the wind was blowing in the op- posite direction.

Mr. Cannon estimates his loss, which included his store, dwelling and entire stock at $12,000 with only $4,000 insurance. He managed to cave a few important papers but lost 840 in cash. Mr. Creswelrs loss is also a heavy one as he had re- cently renovated his house and fitt- ed it up. He had a small insurance on the place.

Both families are very grateful in the people of St. Eleanors for the way in which they fought the fire and also for their kindness in oi’- fering them shelter and the neces- sities of life. Mrs. Henry Scales very kindiy opened her house to Mr. Cresweii and his family and Mr. Cannon and his family went to his brothers, Mr. Harry Cannon. Von Archdeacon White, Rector of St. Johns Church, when is near the scene oi’ the fire drove out from Summcrside to take the morning service, but as everyone was busy fighting the fire, was obliged to re- turn without holding the service.
