CHICAGO BEER KING SHOT
DOWN IN FRONT OF HOME
CHICAGO, Feb. 23.—Johnny Torrio,
sole survivor of the three beer syndi
cate kings of Chicago, was shot and
seriously wounded late today in front
of his southern Chicago home. Three
bullets took effect.
Torrio refused to identify the three
or four men who poured a fusillade
of bullets into his machine as it came
to a halt. Police believe the assail
ants are rival gangsters.
Physicians said Torrio had a fair
chance to recover.
Torrio now is under sentence by the
Federal court for his part in a big
j liquor robbery. He was given a week
j to wind up his affairs and was due to
start his nine months’ sentence Tues
day.

IRATE JINGOISTS
BAIT REGIME IN
FIRST DIET QUIZ
TOKIO, Feb. 24.—The American
immigration question, the naval
maneuvers and the British naval
base at Singapore, all were hurled
at the cabinet by the opposition in
the first of interpellation in the
diet. There were accusations of
weakness in yielding to the foreign
“menace to Japan’s interests.”
Premier Kato and Foreign Minis
ter Shidehara replied, the former
curtly, the latter evidently endeav
oring to head off further attempts to
bait the government. He regretted
the immigration act, which he said
was the domestic affair of America’s
and refused to discuss the Singapore
question. The naval maneuvers cer
tainly are outside the sphere of Jap
an’s right to protest, he asserted.
War Minister Hamaguchi had a ]
bad quarter of an hour between the .
unanimous and parliamentary criti-;
cisms.
New Gravity Water
System In Whitehall
WHITEHALL.—Whitehall's n e w
gravity water supply system was put
in operation recently and furnishes
the city with an unlimited supply of
water from the Adirondacks.
One of the novel features of the
construction is that the pipe line run- (
ning from the original dam in the1
mountains to the reservoir in this i
city crosses South bay of Lake ]
George on the lake bottom. Laying
the pipe on the lake bed was not so j
difficult as it sounds.
The pipes were laid from a scow
onto a wooden crib and when the
full length was finished it simply was
dropped overboard.

interest in a weird case which has ef
fected two children of a Santa Clara
family in which a boy and a girl have

occult influence which sends them
into nightly seances with the spirits
The children are John Santos, 16.
and Adeline Santos, 18. Their parents
have refused to permit interviews by
press and scientific men.
Neighbors are authority for the
statement that for seven nights the
two young people have fallen under
the control of apparitions. The boy i
under control of a gray whiskered fig
ure, while the girl is influenced by the
ghost of an old family friend.
Residents of the community visited

off the ghost-coming. The apparitions
did not appear to the visitors.
