Lincoln, Neb., June it. Governor
ill van presented a new budget plan
to the special acssion of the Nebras
ka legislature this afternoon which
varied only a few thousand dollars in
the total amount of appropriations
from that which he recommended
last January. Actually, the new bud
get plan Is S4.S20 less than the fir.st
I one-

he stated, in an adequate manner,
the needl Of the state institutions.
These items were the cause of the
regular session deadlock.
This wa accomplished by trim
ming the amounts ne nau previously
recommended 'for the purchase of
uipplies. food and clothing for the in
stitutions during the next two years.
The trimming process yielded close
to a half million dollars, and that
surplus was turned to new buildings
;.nd repairs.
Business Proposition."
The governor urged the members
to lay aside "partisanship and at
tempted party advantages" and con
sider the problem before them as a
business proposition,
"Tax levies must be paid ilegard
of patty affiliation;" he ptitfed
"B8th political parties promised the
pepole of Nebraska tax reduction,
and these promises should be sacred
ly kejit," he said.
"I have endeavored to submit a
budget. (ti which all members could
unite and pass without a day's delay.
I believe I am speaking the over
whelming sentiment of the people
srhen I again urge that this be done.
"Logrolling or vote trading on ap-
propria tipns should not be counten-
anced. Such acts should be made a
felony. Appropriations that are not
of state-wide importance and con
tain sufficient merit to be approved
when roted upon separately should
not he hooked up with unnecessary
appropriations. Pork barrel states

War on Gangland
is Taking Shape
from Two Sides
State ad Fedrp Governments Unite
in Effort to 'Teach Lesson
to Gangsters.
New York After months of pre
liminary training, ;tate and federal
governments are teaching gangsters
and racketeers a new definition of
"'heat." Even the "big shots" who
considerd themselves immune to the
ordinary annoyance of law are to get
a schooling. Wtihln a week vigorous
thrusts have been directed against
the two most notorious figure.; in
gangdom, "Scar face Al" Capons In
Chicago and Jack "Legs" Diamond In
New York. The lesser lights are hav
ing their troubles in proportion.
Al Capons, first among Chicago's
public enemies, was indicted by a
federal grand jury tor willful evasion
of federal income taxes amounting to
more than $200,400. He posted a
i ir.0.000 bond and must face trial for
a telonj which at the maximum, can
bring a five year sentence in th peni
tentiary and a fine of $10,000.
The troubles of "Legs" Diamond
hare been multiplying for' more than
a month, ever si nee the driver of a
cider wagon limped into Catskill, N.
Y.,'and complained that he had been
tortured by a gang of hoodlums.
Diamond, whose "country home" is
far from Catskill. was hauled upon
a charge of assault. But even before
the court had disposed of that charge
he was peppered with .shot at a road-
house. He

for acquittal was contemplated by
George W. E. Perry, principal of six
bigamous marriages, who was held
without hail in the Vilas county jail
for trial in circuit court on a charge
' oi slaying t ora Belle Hackeit. his
third "wife." Perry waived prelim
inary hearing when arraigned and
was bound over to the October term
of court. The proceedings, climaxing
his return under guard from San
Francisco, were brief.
"I'm not guilty, I'll fight to the
finish and I'll be acquitted, too. But
I want a long delay because there's
some things my lawyer will have to
look up," Perry said.
Altho freely admitting bigamy.
Perry denied he was guilty of shoot

Illinois widow with whom he "honey
