New York, August 18 (INS) —
Large forces of Federal troops in
Cuba have gone over to the side
of the revolutionists who are con-
tinuing a heated campaign against
the regime of President Gerardo
Machado it was claimed in a
statement issued from the Cuban,
revolutionary headquarters at a
hotel here.
Aproximately fifteen hundred
Federals joined the insurrection-
in Santa Clara province It was
claimed.
Anyway, it now apears that the
attorney general has let himself in
for it agate.
The "deal” by which Al Capone
was to plead guilty and accept two
and one-haif years in Leavenworth
in expiation for all his crimes and
misdemeanors was an arrange-
ment. that bore Mitchell's appro-
val. It could not have been made
otherwise.
There were mimeographed let-
ters of praise for his subordinates
in having “.got Capone" all ready
to be given out when sentence was
imposed. But hard-boiled Judge
James H. Wilkerson upset the ap-
ple cart by refusing to be bound by
any such arrangement as had been
worked out between Al’s attorneys ।
and those of the government. The
court couldn’t see where Capone
was entitled to be dealt with on a
treaty basis, chereas other offen-
ders "got the worle."

Extradition papers for Sanchez,
who fled to Mexico soon after the
slayer, with an American posse
hot on his trail, have been refused.
He will be trie in Mexico, but the
date has not been set. ,
The search for Sanchez started,
soon after it was learned he had
been seen loitering in the vicinity
in which the body of Edna Merle
Spring, Leming school girl, was
found April 22. The girl had been
stabbed to death. Physicians count-
ed 27 wounds on her body. The
body was found a stone’s throw
One of the first things handed
him was the job of enforcing pro-
hibition. Of course, the' actual en-
forcement is up to his subordinates,
but Mitchell is the boss and the re-
sponsible cabinet officer. There ard
many things more calculated to
enhance one’s popularity in Wash-
ington than enforcing prohibition.
Hosts and hostesses are careful a-
bout inviting the chief of prohibi-
tion enforcement to those little eve-
nings.
Then he proceeded to trod on a
lot of senatorial toes in the matter
of judicial appointments. One of

As one possible recompense.
Governor Sterling has asked that
the meeting of the state tax board,
to fix the tax rate be deferred un-
til the effect of martial law upon
the price of oil has been determin-
ed.
The state comptroller has declar-
ed that it would be necessary to
raise the tax rate to its limit, 35
cents, from the 27 cents now as-
sesed for general purposes.
Declaring he would oppose any in-
crease, Governor Sterling urged
the board to defer its action. Once
fixed the rate cannot be changed.

it inevitably is going to be more
so once the Senate gets into ses-
sion. Quite a number of Senators
have been fairly,itching for an op-
portunity to open up against Mit-.
chell under circumstances in which,
they cannot be accused of personal
spite.
Consequently, when the Senate
convenes the country is going to
hear plenty about this Capone mat-
ter, and the "deal’’ which fell thru.
Senator Schall, the blind solon
from Nebraska, who staged a hitter
personal fight with the attorney
general last session ovsr a Minne-
sota judgeship, has already announ-
ced his intention of demanding a
Senatorial investigation of t h l s
"deal.”
Others are going to demand an
explanation of the justice and pro-
pritetry of the government bargain-
ing with the most notorious gang-
star in the country for a light sen-
tence, while with smaller offenders
the law is allowed to run its

pared with the two an da half a-
greed to in Capone’s case.
