Dillinger Sometimes Scared of Death And
Othertimes Took Dangerous Chances
While Hiding Out From The Federals
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, June 24—Hours of crazed fear of death or
capture and moments of insane bravado, together with
thousands of dollars spent for silence and constant distrust
of every companion, in addition to fifty dollars a week for a
sleeping room in a hovel, was the picture drawn of attorney
Louis Priquett, charged with harboring Dillinger and Van
meter, both of whom were finally killed.
They paid an exhorbitant price for a bed in a shack oc
cupied by James Probasco, who suicided when arrested as
the hideout keeper.
Dillinger brazenly walked about the neighborhood and
then almost decided to give himself up, when he read that
Department of Justice agents had received orders to shoot
him on sight. He boldly met a lawyer at several dangerous
places, and even sat calmly in an automobile while G men
arrested his sweetheart Evelyn Frechette.

Borah Heartily in Favor Of
Roosevelt Tax Program
Economically Sound
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 24, —Bor
ah's declaration that President
Roosevelt’s proposals for a new tax
ation on wealth “were sound in
principle” lent encouragement to a
group of legislators fighting to put
such a plan across this session.
The group gave immediate notice
that unless the administration press
ed for a separate bill this session
for the Roosevelt program, they
would force the issue by offering it
as a rider to the pending nuisance
taxes resolution.
LaFollette, a member of the
group, said he was encouraged ov
er the outlook, especially since Bor
ah came out for the inheritance tax.
Borah described the proposals as
“not only sound economically, but
sound in morals”. He did not see
them as soaking the rich or of the
share in wealth idea, but as share
in the burden of the government
program.

tear gas bombs. Disorder reigned for a few minutes and
finally the marchers reorganized. Someone turned in a fire
alarm and the department responded, prepared to lay a line
of hose and turn on the water, which was finally found to
be unnecessary.
The marchers encountered more pickets near the mine
office and several fights occurred. Five arrests were made
and the workers streamed into the office where registration
proceeded quietly with a force of five clerks taking care of
the work.
The firemen laid a line of hose near the office prepared
to use cold water if fist fights continued, although the police
are gaining the upperhand.

employees registered for work at the Alaska Juneau Mine
Office up to noon today. Those registering were notified to
report for work at seven o’clock. Yesterday morning the
company previously announced it would resume operations
with only one shift if necessary. Registrations continued
slowty early this afternoon. Special police are still on duty.
Fighting is diminishing and order is returning, but the au
thorities are alert for outbreaks at anytime. The fire hose
is full of salt water and manned, ready to turn on nozzles
if needed. Eleven were arrested for fighting. Three are
in the hospital, two of whom are in a serious condition.

BIG STICK POLICE
Committee Wants Contract

(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 24 — De
manding big stick police to police
warship builders and prevent them
from confusing "public defense needs
with their private pocketbooks”, the
Senate Munitions Committee urged
a legislative program to prevent
collusion in the bidding for naval
construction jobs, and prevent Am
erican patents from getting into
the hands of foreign powers.
The legislation would also limit
profits to five percent of the total
cost to the government when the
government assumes the risk of the
enterprise, of ten percent; and
where the government does not re
quire ship-builders and lobbyists to
register with the government to
disclose their income expenses.
