He was being interviewed by this reporter in his $250,000 Island home in this fashionable winter resort where he has taken up his abode. Many At Party The Capone mansion was ablaze with lights. A party given by “Al” to some fifty persons, men and women, was in progress. All seemed to be enjoying themselves. The strains of soft music mingled with the laughter of the guests. Beautiful women conversed animatedly. Others, having donned bathingsuits. >w«re splashing in the open air swimming pool. Most of the guests were in evening clothes. “I really have nothing to say gbout this latest outbreak in Chi cago because I don’t know a thing ■bout it,” said Capone. “I was rather surprised to see my name in headlines in connection with this case. It seems when anything like this happens and they don’t know . who did it. they immediately blame Al Capone.” Capone could not be induced to inter into a detailed discussion of a the numerous charges that have keen made against him in the >ast.

GIRL FRIENDS by the scores turned out at the toy Saturday to watch their “boy friends” strut their annual inspection of the Howitzer Company, am simply trying to live here quietly. Capone gave this writer the impression of being an exceedingly restless man. You meet him face to face, he does not seem to be the sinister figure he has been painted. He moved about among his guests, most solicitous and affable. Capone talked very little and drank even less, if indeed he took a single drink. It was not a wild party in any sense, and it broke up well before 2 o'clock in the morning—an hour when many other parties in the Miami district were just hitting their stride. The much publicized Capone is a gentle mannered, soft-spoken man, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and rather heavily built. He is dark-complexioned and his black hair is thinning in the front. His dark brown eyes gaze at you directly when he talks, which is seldom. There are three faint scars across the left side of his face. Capone's household includes two of his brothers and half a dozen other men. They were in evidence at the party, acting in the capacity of waiters. The Capone home is located on a small, man-made island, known as Palm Island. His mansion is set well back from the main entrance. He rarely leaves his place on the island, as it has all the modern conveniences. He has his own swimming pool, tennis court, and putting green. A year or more ago, when Capone first came here, there was local agitation to prevent his establishing a residence here, but this has died down. GLITTERING MEDALS ON KHAKI UNIFORMS STILL HOLD APPEAL FOR FAIR ONES HERE’S HOW THE GUARDSMEN DO IT GENERAL NEWS SECTION CLUES TO MASSACRE AUTO MEN TELL OF SEEING GAR CHICAGO, Feb. 18 (I.N.S.).—Trail of the St. Valerftines Day massacre squad, which shot down seven members of the “Bugs” Moran gang in a North Clark Street garage, assumed definite direction today with a description of the slayers’ automobile furnished to police by President H. Wallace Caldwell, of the board of education and Elmer R. Lewis, employee of the Beaver Paper Company. Caldwell said he saw a car which he took for a detective bureau vehicle, run past a red light going north near the scene of the slaughter. So close was the educator to the automobile that he noticed one of the occupants lacked one of his front teeth. Waved On Way Lewis drove across the street intersection and stopped. He started to where the driver of the killers’ car was. Trying to straighten the fender, presuming that the men in the car were detectives. The killers' driver, however, waved him on, as though the accident was trivial. Lewis stepped back into his truck and drove to 2129 N. Clark St., almost opposite the shooting, where he delivered some merchandise. He saw the men leave the car and go into the Moran Garage. He did not lose any of them in police uniform, he said. Lewis heard the machine guns. He thought, however, that the noise was the backfire of a truck. His evidence, now supported by that of President Caldwell, is regarded as of utmost importance by State's attorneys investigators and chief of detectives John Egan and Captain William Schoemaker. Convinced that they were on the right track, Chicago police intensified their search for Jack McGurn, chief aid to Al Capone. McGurn is Chicago's master gunner. Capone is an arch enemy of Moran for many reasons. McGurn has been Capone's North Side "muscle man" man. McGurn's machine-gun experience, the police say, marks him as the man to direct such a wholesale killing as last Thursday. Furthermore, he is known to have been investigating the hi-jacking activities of the Moran. Moran is allied with the Canadian liquor syndicate, headed by Frank Parker. In fact, Moran and Ted Newberry are the Chicago chiefs. Parker, a former Chicagoan supplied the liquor. Moran and Newberry distributed it. The Morton syndicate of Chicago is the other organization. Paul Morton, brother of the late "Nails" Morton, is its head. Associated with this syndicate is the purple gang of Detroit. These two syndicates have been warring for control of Chicago's $30,000 a day whisky trade, and the richer trade of the entire Middle West.

Easterling, will meet tomorrow night at the Columbia Heights Community Center, Wilson Norman School, Eleventh and Harvard Streets Northwest. First Infantry, Maryland National Guard.

NIGHTS DOG Somewhere in Washington is a little grey female terrier which answers to the name of Cricket. She holds the key to a human life that today lies perilously near the shadows, in a cot at Georgetown University Hospital. The life is that of Mrs. Etta Brown, 50, of the 1400 block Thirty-fourth Street Northwest. Cricket is her pet—or was until last Saturday night. Unless she finds Cricket again, her physicians say, the loss may prove a serious obstacle in her fight for life. Mrs. Brown and Cricket were returning from a visit Saturday night. With the dog in her arms, Mrs. Brown was waiting for a streetcar in a safety zone on Wisconsin Avenue. An automobile, which police say was driven by David Evans, 3200 block of Wisconsin Ave., struck Mrs. Brown. Cricket, terrified, ran away, then came back to bark anxiously at the unconscious form of her mistress. Evans picked up the woman and rushed her to the hospital leaving "Cricket" in the street. The dog had not been found since. At the hospital, physicians found that Mrs. Brown had a possible fracture of the skull, internal injuries, cuts, and bruises. Last night she regained consciousness and called for Cricket. She has been told that the dog is safely in the home of friends, but Mrs. Brown wants to see her pet. Has anyone seen Cricket? And here's how the girl friends clean up. Monday, February 18, 1929. Change in law asked to legalize Panama airmail. Congress nearing January. By William K. Hutchinson. The "lame duck" session of the Seventieth Congress rolled along toward its scheduled death two weeks from today with both House and Senate calendars crowded, while Administration leaders sought to complete their legislative program. The Jones bill, increasing penalties for prohibition violators, occupied the Senate, while the House debated a bill providing a 44-hour week for postal employees. Hundreds of other measures crowded the calendars in both branches, and there were indications the dying Congress is rapidly running into the usual closing legislative jam. Supply Bills Worry. The Coolidge spokesmen in the House were concerned chiefly with getting the final appropriation bills enacted. The naval bill, with its funds for launching the new cruiser building program, the legislative appropriation bill financing the activities of Congress itself, and the second deficiency appropriation bill. providing funds for nearly all Government departments, must be enacted before the adjournment. Once these bills have been passed, Administration leaders will be ready to stage obsequies for the dying Congress. The Senate had the Jones bill, the Edge resolution for a survey of the proposed Nicaraguan canal, and the Glass bill, purchasing a market site in the District of Columbia, on its preferential program. Groups of Senators, however, were urging action on the Dill resolution, extending the life of the Federal Radio Commission for another year; the Fessb railroad consolidation bill and the House reapportionment bill. The reapportionment and the Fessb bills apparently will be killed in the legislative jam. The radio resolution probably will be enacted at a special session. Administration leaders expect to stage tomorrow night. There will be other night sessions, too, before adjournment, for action on minor legislation affecting individuals or local communities. The Senate also faced another stiff task — that of confirming a number of presidential appointments. The renomination of former Gov. Pat Neff, of Texas, to the Federal Mediation Board, has met with opposition and a day probably will be set aside later in the week to settle the controversy. His confirmation, while predicted by the Coolidge Administration, was by no means assured. The picture shows Miss Dorothy Simpson cleaning one of the guns while Pvt.

Significant Satires, above. 8, and her sister, Georgia, 7, both of 308 Sixth St. N.W., awake these days. They fell asleep in a theater last night and before they awakened their parents had appealed to police for aid in locating them. They thought the children were lost. LOST MORNING SLEPT IN SHOW After seeing the cowboy beat up the villain twice, two children, visiting a neighborhood movie house, decided to wait and see the thriller over again yesterday afternoon. Sleep overtook them during a reel on rope-making in Rutania, or something of the sort, and they slumbered peacefully until after dusk. Frantic parents rushed to the Fourth precinct and asked that the reserves he turned out to locate Virginia and Georgia Satirios, of the 300 block of Sixth St. S. W. The children hadn't told the folks at home that they were going to the movies. The family, neighbors, and police were scouring the neighborhood when Virginia awoke. The cowboy had heat up the villain and they missed it. REP. KELLY BACKING BILL By WILLIAM S. NEAL Congress may take speedy action today to prevent the historic air mail flight of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh from ending unhappily because of forced abandonment of the Pan-American route for which he blazed the trail. Unless legislation is enacted, the new air mail route from Miami to Latin-American must be abandoned. Representative Clyde Kelly (R) of Pennsylvania, declared. The return of "Lindy," newly engaged and again acclaimed for his flying feats, was expected to dissipate the opposition which has blocked the measure in Congress. Unable to Bring Mail Because of a defect in legislation, Colonel Lindbergh was unable to accept all of the mail offered for the return trip from Panama. The omission of one word in the law, under which the Latin-American route was established, caused all the difficulty. Congress provided that the Post Office Department could contract for air mail from the United States to foreign countries. But the law did not say "to" as well as "from." After the contract with the Pan-American Airways Company was signed, Comptroller-General McCarl ruled that the Post Office Department could pay for mail carried to a foreign country, but not pay for mail brought back from such a country. On instructions from the Post Office Department, Colonel Lindbergh declined to accept many sacks of mail on his return journey, just completed. He was allowed to bring mail from the Panama Canal Zone bearing United States stamps and was allowed to carry free some mail from the Republic of Panama. This was done on request of the State Department, which desired too pay a courtesy to the little republic. May Appear in House Representative Kelly is in charge of a bill which would extend provisions of the air mail law to permit payment for mail brought from foreign countries. "I plan to call up the bill in the House and ask unanimous consent for its passage," said Representative Kelly. "If unanimous consent is refused, we will seek to suspend the rules." Colonel Lindbergh observed carefully the law as explained to him by the Post Office Department. It is highly unfortunate that he could not bring all of the paid mail offered back to Washington from his wonderful flight."
