FOdfc FOR unemployed COSTS £6O A DAY CHICAGO, Nov. 15. Although A 1 Capone's exact whereabouts are unknown, it is revealed that he is finfihcing a soup kitchen and melting several thousand unemployed daily with three meals, consisting ot bread, soup, and coffee.- His employees estimated the daily consumption at -oM loaves of bread. 501 b of sugar, and 30Mi of coftVe, costing £6O, which tho gahgstcr pays. , In the Federal Court here to-day an unsuccessful attempt was made to ascertain the amount of Capone’s income. Jack Cinzik. Who manages the beer and liquor, distribution for him in the business section of Chicago, is on trial on a charge of defrauding the Government of £50,000 income tax for the three year preceding 1930. The' evidence showed that Guziks income was more than £200,000 in three years, and the question arose: If Guzik receives so much as a mere lieutenant, what is the income of Capohe, the generalissimo of all the “rackets” in Chicago? “We will have him here and ask him,” said the judge, whereupon everybody lauglied. Capone is a law unto himself- He flies hither and thither, and has so far pfoVcd completely independent of the law and indifferent to Its officers.
