Weeping For Jay.

Old men, young men, mothers with chillren in their, arms, and young women sang hymns with wild enthusiasm. They waved their song sheets; many of them jumped in the air; others were so over- come that they wept for joy.
"He is there in the sky around" was one of the hymns which worked the crowd up to a fervour of re- ligious" excitement.
Bien, women, and children joined and sang lustily, but those who could not join hands either waved. or threw their hats in the air, shout- ing out," Hallelujah, oh glory!"
One song had hardly ended when another was begun; sometimes two or three sections of the crowd would be siaging different songs.
Tired of the failure of the police to control the city's lawlessness, certain business men have invited the powerful gang leaders into their firms. Violence will now be met with violence, they declare, and the underworld gunmen are arrayed in a new form of civil war, The situation is explained by one leading citizen, who says:
Chicago has now sunk to the savagery of the jungle. There have emerged now conditions so -hideous in possibilities for crime that one shudders to contemplate what will happen.

Should this be thought a fantas- tie story, it can be stated definite-- ly that "Scarface" Capone, the king of the city's bootleggers, has invested £7,000 in one corporation. There is touch of delightful irony in the fact that he is to be- come a partner in a business which undertakes the sanitary cleaning of offices. In the words of the pro- prietor of the business:
For 10 years my business has been bombed and burned, my em- ployees mobbed and "slugged" by lawless competitors. Nobody was punished. Now that is mil over. I have gone into business with Scarface." He has enlist- ed his Mafian tribe. I have no need of the police department; I" have the best protection in the world.

Since the new partnership be came known in his business, said this man, there have been no bomb- ings or beatings of employees.
