I Threat By Capone Alphonse Capone, czar of every thing pertaining to intoxicants in Chicago, is described as having told the California grape interests that if they came into his market somebody is going to be bumped off. The effectiveness of that threat locally has been proved so many times that it causes quivers whenever made. But it has been discounted by Donald D. Conn, managing director of Fruit Industries and of the California Vineyardists' association. He promised that his organization was going ahead with its plans.

Now Receives lilt The gang objection to this new scheme to put wine in the homes ties in the fact that an established underworld business thus would meet interference. It also is based on the asserted fact that the Capone organization now gets a cut on all wine grapes marketed in Chicago. The racket slice in this, according to word from California, is $50 a car. Since approximately 30,000 cars are marketed here in the course of a season, the gang revenue is sizable. Financed By V.

S. Capone, as a business man, would struggle against the loss of an established revenue, unless he could realize a larger one from another source. That raises the question concerning whether the new division of the grape business might not negotiate with this underworld chieftain just as many another business has done here. The Fruit Industries, is financed by government money, with $1,400,000 already advanced. and it is questioned whether a government supported organiza tion should pay tribute to a gang ster.
