New York, Dec. 10.

The Chicago under-world, developed during prohibition into one of the most sinister forces this country ever linew, apparent- ly has taken over the more lucrative vice trade of New York city.

Authorities have named Johnnie Torrio as head of a com- bination which controls the Metropolis' million dollar a month policy games and which has accounted for the deaths of 17 rival gangsters recently.

Torrio, à Sicilian, 'ascended with Al Capone to Chiengo's racketeering leadership after the death of Joe Colisimo, Chicago's original underworld chief. Torrio and Capone went from the old New York Five Points gang to Chicago to act as Colisimo's bodyguards.

Torrio eventually left Chicago's vice control to Capone, bernuse Chicago police said, "he could dish It out but he couldn't take it."

Suddenly the crew noticed that they had made a heavy catch. At first they thought it must be a whale, but it was not struggling.

With difficulty they hauled the nets to the surface. They then discovered that they had netted an old motor-car, rusty, almost falling to pieces.
