CHICAGO, Oct. 7- UP) The wide- open gambling houses of Cicero dur ing the days when Al Capone made the village his suburban stronghold were discussed at length today in the scar-faced gang leader's trial in Federal Court on charges of Income tax evasion.

But when the day's court session was nnisnea, noi one witness iiuu said definitely, in reply to persistent questions from the prosecution, that Capone owned, or received profits from, the gaming houses. Even the government star wit ness" for the day, Leslie H. Shum-way, an employe of what were known as "Capone Joints" in Cicero could not say definitely, he testified, that any of the profits from the -whirring roulette wheels, the rattling dice games and the horse racing bets found their way Into Capone pockets. Shumway worked as bookkeeper In "five or six Cicero Joints" in which Frankie Pope, a well known Chicago gangster said by police to be in charge of gambling for Capone was "manager," he said. Shumway even took the profits from the subway, a notorious gambling house, to a safe in a nearby building, he testified, but he professed not' to know who got the money from the safe.

CARDINAL "BUZZ-SAW" DRIVES IN FOUR RUNS Mackmen Outsmarted and Outplayed Teams Travel to St. Louis For Deciding Game. Bj ALAN GOULD (Associated Tress Sports Editor) SHIBE PARK. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7-(r The "Wild Horse of the Osage," Pepper Martin, collaborated against today with Wild Bill Hallahan to baffle the Athletics, nerch victory atop the National League banner and put the Cardinals one game of the world base-AT" cnamPionsnlP- The Cardinals romped, easily to triumph in the fifth game of the series, 5 to 1.

Hallahan posted his second straight victory over the world champions, and Martin continued on the wildest batting rampage in the history of baseball's annual big show. It gave the Red Birds the lead, three games to two, an advantage enjoyed by the National League's forces for the first time in seven years. The Cardinals return to their home grounds with two chances to capture the fourth and deciding contest. The sixth game is scheduled Friday at St. Louis and the seventh, if necessary, on Saturday.

The smartest piece of strategy since the series opened, the elevation of the sensational Pepper Martin to the cleanup position in the Cardinal batting order in place of Sunny Jim Bottomley, was crowned with results of the gaudiest variety. The rookie outfielder routed the veteran Waite Hoyt and had the Athletics shell-shocked for the fifth straight game with his personal exploits.

INTERNAL SQUABBLE Ten National Business Mag nates Pave Way For. Conference to be Held December 2-5. WASHINGTON, Oct. A fresh stroke at the financial shackles binding the building of homes was prepared today by President Hoover and to prominent business men who gathered about the White House cabinet table. Perceptibly heartened by the re action to his momentous project launched last night for an Immediate easment of the nation economic strain, the chief executive attacked the home building problem from the point of view of a longer period of time.

The fundamental purpose of to day's conference was ta make It easier and less expensive for the future home-builder to obtain the credit necessary to his enterprise. Immediately after the group ad journed, it was learned the president felt the $500,000,000 private banking pool he proposed last night could take care of the present situation sur rounding the real estate mortgages. It was said on the highest authority that he did not regard the plans under discussion today as being related with current emergency problems. Those who gathered with the presi dent today were members of the fl nance committee of his coming White House conference on home building and home ownership, to meet here December 2-5. Discussing with him suggestions to be laid before that, conference the members were described as widely split upon only one proposal that of a central mortgage rediscount bank As the group filed into the White House offices during the early after' noon they were led by ones and twos to unaccustomed chairs.

The chief executive, of course, occupied his us ual place at the head of the big cab inet table. After three hours of intimate talk, however, the committee members ob vlously felt more at ease. 1 And it ap peared to be the unanimous conclu sion that the conference had "accom The proposal for a central mort gage rediscount bank was advanced by Harry S. Kissel, of Springfield Ohio, president of the National Asso ciation of real estate boards. Opposed to it were representatives of the building and loan associations, They, too, however, were said to have plans for some form of bank designed to expand credit.

President Hoover was represented as beleiving that many additional in vestigations will have to be made be fore any final conclusion on such projects could be reached. He feels definitely, however, that the conference today should be regarded as a progress meeting" and that both groups can be brought together on a common ground.

EXPECT 1500 PRISONERS AT EUSTIS BY NOV. 15 Reliable advices last night were to the effect that the last military unit at Fort Eustis will have been with drawn by November 1 and that the post will house 1,500 prisoners by November 15. Although the War Department has kept silent regarding Its plans lor Fort Eustis, The Dally Press has been reliably infermed that the post will be converted into a prison camp. Ultimately, the prison camp wiU ftrrnmmodate 5.000 inmates, it was learned. They will be of harmless nature, most of them serving only short terms.

oover Hoover Considering Possible Lengthening of Plan, as Yet Unratified; to Discuss it With Laval. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. OT President Hoover Is considering whether the International moratorium should be extended beyond next June, and has found powerful opposition to it in congress. The subject will be discussed with Premier Laval of France, when he comes to Washington late this month, and every authoritative Indication Is that Mr.

Hoover will postpone any ae cision for several weeks. The bankers on whom the President must depend for carrying his new credits program into operation include some of the most Insistent advocates for an extension or for outright cancellation of the war debts. Today the American Bankers Association, meet' Ing at Atlantic City, carried forward a pressure felt here for weeks by adopting a resolution urging exten sion. Mr. Hoover also has before him continuing evidence of the financial troubles of the European nations.

The plea of Premier MacDonald of Great Britain for stability and national unity, in today's election manifesto, was read at the White House with Interest, as was ft State Department dispatch saying that M. Laval ex pressed satisfaction that the debts would be discussed during his visit here. All of these things will be taken into account before the President decides what he can do. Some of those who have talked with him think it very unlikely he will consider acting before the present moratorium is ratified by congress, after it meets in December. The President also is certain to weigh the power of the opposition.

At last night's White House confer ence, during a full hour of debate on this one subject, Chairman Borah of the Senate foreign relations committee served notice he would oppose any extension of war debt payments unless Europe first used the knife severely on her armaments and on reparations collections from Germany.

Stauffer to Speak This Afternoon. While nation-wide attention is being focused on President Hoover's effort to make home financing less difficult, and while the echo of Junius E. West's plea that the maintenance of schools and roads be taken over by the state to relieve the burden on real estate, still rings the ears of the Old Dominion's citizens, the 11th annual convention of the Virginia Real Estate Association will open a three-day session at the Warwick Hotel today. Thomas J. Hundley, chairman of the local committee arranging for the convention, stopped long enough last night to say that Mr.

West's suggestion "should meet with favor not only with real estate operators, but with property owners as well." There has been a growing belief, Mr. Hundley said, that under the segregation law, "the cities are not getting the taxable subjects to which they are entitled." With real estat; the only source of local taxation. property is bearing too great burden. he asserted. He said that concrete suggestions for relieving the tax burden will be presented by the tax relief committee (Continued on Page 9) TOBACCO RATE CUT Commission Withholds Permis sion to.

SOLONS CONSIDER Hope Continues Benefit Will Come From White House Conference; Brookhart Sounds Discordant Note. WASHINGTON, Oct. Hopeful that the economic program agreed upon at the White House will be helpful, congressional Waders turned today to cautious consideration of detailed legislative plans for carrying It Into execution.

The Democratic and Republican members congress who attended the parley publicly spoke the approval which they gave the general program presented by President Hoover last night. A discordant note was sounded by Senator Brookhart, of Iowa, one of the Republican independents, who termed the White House conference "a Wall Street party." He called for the resignations of Secretary Mellon and Governor Meyer of the federal reserve board. He and- a number of Democrats advocated a special session immediately to consider the whole situation. Senator yandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, described the economic program as the "dawn of a new day" and his optimism was shared by many others on Capitol Hill. No early meetings of congressional committees to consider the legislation which may be necessary are in prospect and there is every evidence that careful study will be given bs-fore the contemplated amendments of the federal reserve and banking acts and of the farm loan board are enacted.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, one of the leaders of the Republican independents, expressed the view that the domestic economic proposals would oe "helpful." "I sincerely hope they may, he added.

PARACHUTE SAVE FLIERS' LIVES Two Naval Base Planes Collide at Altitude; Pilots Leap to Safety. NORFOLK, Oct. 7. W) Parachutes saved the lives of two men today, when Lieut.

Philip A. Tague and Chief Aviation Pilot E. S. Whitman "bailed out" of their plane, a Vought two-seater, after a collision with a Curtlss Hawk single-seater flying nearly a mile in "the air. Ensign William M.

Walsh, piloting the single-seater, gambled with a broken strut and brought his Utile craft to a safe landing on the naval air station field, while the Vought crashed near the Virginian Railway tracks at East Camp. The collision occurred at an altitude of between 5,000 and 6.000 feet, and eye witnesses received almost as much of a hair-raising thrill as the pilots of the ill-fated machines. They saw the Vought careening earthward, but due to a slight haze at the higher altitude, did not see immediately that Lieutenant Tague and Whitman had jumped out safely. The actual crash took place over a spot almost half a mile inland, but a brisk southerly breeze wafted Tague and Whitman into Mason's Creek, Just off Little Bay, and carried the falling Vought to its final resting place near the railroad tracks, a total loss. As soon as those on the ground observed the filers floating down, speed boats were sent out so that when the filers came to rest in the shallow waters of Mason's Creek the rescue crews were already on hand.

Oct. 7. VP) Chancellor Heinrich Bruening got rid of his entire; cabinet today, and immediately undertook the formation' of a new government that will rule Geraany under a virtual dictatorship. The resignations of the complete ministry were submitted by the chancellor to Paul von Hindenburg, the nation's stern old warrior president. Herr Bruening straightway was commissioned to form a cabinet whose members will be able to withstand Nationalist and National- Socialist attacks when the Reichstag reconvenes next Tuesday.

With the ministerial shift came a long series of new emergeacy decrees, signed by the president, which give the government far-reaching powers In dealing with the nation's financial and economic burden, and In thwarting the attempts of the opposition parties to make Germany Fascist or Communist. These decrees were Interpreted by some observers as sufficiently elastic to enable the government to abrogate such fundamentals as the inviolability of the person, the home and the mails. They reach far into the provinces of private business, even to the extent of touching the salaries of certain, employes. The government is empowered to declare void any long term contract between employer and employee which stipulates a salary of more than $3,500.
