PAGE FOUR THE CONSTITUnON-TRmUNl TORRIO IS ONE GANG LEADER WHO BEAT GAME THURSDAY, OCT. 15, 193f Where Pacific Flyers Faces Jail Term He Taught Al Capone How to Be a Chief Years Ago In Chicago AMASSED A SMALL FORTUNE Had Sense Enough to Abdicate and Is Now Living a Quiet Life on Long Island CHICAGO, Oct. Torrio, who taught Al Capone how to be a gang chief, is living a quiet life i on Long Island on the wealth he amass- ed as a Chicago underworld ruler who i had sense enough to abdicate, he told I the United Press in an exclusive inter- i view today. "Say, I wouldn't come back to Chicago to stay if you'd give me the city hall, the federal building and all the hotels in the loop," he declared. "Would I go back in the racket? Don't kid yourself.

I'm through. "Whoever takes Al Capone's place, providing he is convicted in court, will get the same thing Al got. I don't care who takes the job. It's a tough one to hold and whoever gets it will have a lot of sleepless nights." Torrio, brought here on a government subpoena to appear at the Capone income tax fraud trial, spoke through uneven teeth with a trace of a lisp. A man of 50 or so with hair beginning to gray, a smooth-shaven ruddy face and a certain gravity of manner, Torrio not be taken for a former gang "Big Shot," with about as much power as Capone attained.

He looks more like a family man with a delicatessen business, or a lumber yard, or some small office job. Only his pin-point eyes disturb that picture of him. "As a matter of fact," he said, "I'm living off my investments. I made plenty of "money and I saved it. Now I'm letting the money work for me.

"I pay my income tax every year. During the last five years, rny tax has ranged from $800 to $3,000." Torrio fled Chicago six years ago after gunmen had she; him down in a gang feud. He said he had not been in contact with Capone in that time until he came here under subpoena before the -trial started. He was asked his definition of a racketeer. "If ever a fellow was between him," declared Don Moyle, center, just before he and Cecil A.

The Los Angeles hall of justice, housing the jail, is shown in the center. "He's a guy who is kicked around by the police," said Torrio. "He spends his money like a tinhorn gambler and he usually dies of lead poisoning. "Even if the law doesn't get you, there is always the one way ride. Dion O'Banion got it.

Hymie Weiss got it. Dingbat O'Berta got it. "Was it worth all that? I'll say it wasn't. I'm going to stick to my legitimate investments and die in bed."

OBSERVER Ordered Its Representative at League of Nations Meeting to Oppose the Question RESENTED THE STIMSON NOTE Government Officials Took the Position the Note Was Worded Too Strong-ly TOKIO, Oct. Japanese government today ordered its League of Nations of representative to oppose and the United States government, which does not belong to the League, to present a united front at the council's deliberations.

At the same time the government announced its decision, it was learned that Secretary Stimson had sent two private communications direct to Tokio. The texts of the notes were not revealed but they presumably contained strong statements, since the government suppressed them here in order to prevent public excitement.

Kenkichi Ycshizawa, its representative at Geneva, constitute a flat rejection of the proposal for an American observer. Irritation over a note sent to the League by Henry L. Stimson, American secretary of state, was one of the principal reasons for the Japanese stand. The government took the position that Secretary Stimson's note to the League, urging it to "exercise all pressure" in the Manchurian crisis, was worded too strongly. Japanese officials also believed it would be disadvantageous for the Lea- nese objections, and will these objections Dr.
