A message fromh Miami stales that A 1 Capone, in answer to a speech by MajorGeneral Butler that lie would be deported when public opinion had been sufficiently aroused, said: “The General is misinformed. He should know the laws protect a citizen and prevent the deportation of anyone horn in the country like myself. General Butler says I am a criminal. The only charge I know of . or the authorities know of is my being ' charged with vagrancy. I have been ' feeding 3000 persons daily in Chicago for the past six months. If this is an act of vagrancy, I want to be classed as a vagrant. I leave the American peopie to judge between General Butler and myself.”
