CHICAGO GANGSTER
FEEDING THE HUNGRY. THREAT OF DEPORTATION. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, February IS. (Received Feb. 19. at 9.5 p.m.) A message from Miami states that A 1 Capone, the gangster, in answer to a statement by Major-General Butler that he would be deported when public opinion had been sufficiently aroused, said: “The general is misinformed. He should know’ that the law’s protect a citizen and prevent the deportation of anyone who is born in the country, like myself. General Butler says 1 am a criminal, but the "only charge 1 know of or the authorities know of, is my being charged with vagrancy. I have been feeding 3000 persons a day in Chicago for the past six months. If this is an act of vagrancy I want to be classed as a- vagrant. Leave the American people to judge between General Butler and myself.”
