r THE MICHIGAN DAILY PR8SEGTIDNTRIE TO MBLILD3 Five Witnesses Appear on First Day of Gangster's Trial; Controversy Occurs. JURY IS QUESTIONED Defendant Eggs on Attorneys to'Fight Legality of Impanelrhent. CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-(P)-The gov- ernment has begun its effort to put Al Capone behind prison bars as an income tax law violator with testi- mony intended to link him with the gambling houses of Cicero, where the gang chief once made his home. None of the first five witnesses who appeared at the opening of his trial Wednesday in federal court was able, however, to State definite- ly that the gang chief received any, money from the gambling estab- lishments. Capone's small but ener- getic defense staff sniped constant- ly at' the government's case. Juror Under Fire. "I want the record to show" is the common preface to remarks by Attorneys michael Ahern and Al- bert Fink. First they wanted it not- ed that there were extra press ta-' b]ies that might cause the jury to attach too much importance to the c$ e. Next, they wanted it notd that several men who had seen grand jury service recently were in the panel sworn in to try Capone. There was a mysterious attempt to have a juror disqualified for not ahswering frankly during his ex- arlnation. His name and the de- fense ojection to him were not made known, but this too may be- come a- part of some future record. Capone Eggs on Attorneyss. A bitter legal controversy over a question asked a gambling house ca hier by the government was in- terrupted by Ahern: "I want the record to show that the witness re- mained in the stand during this discussion, taking it all in." His attorneys appear to be egged on by the scar-faced defendant. He leans forward and whispers to them every few minutes. The rest of the time he glowers or smiles at the witness, according to the way the testimony is going. He found good reason to smile We lnesday when L. H. Shu'iway, cashier of a Cicero gambling house in 1924, 192 and 1926, was on the stand. The government, showing through his testimony that the house had made $587,721 in less tl.an three years, had attempted to get Shumway to say Capone was the real owner of the place. $AND KILLINS GRAVEL CkMPANY TIeehone 7112 May Succeed Morrow t 1 t i DETAILS OF LIFE OF IRISH TENOR REVEALED IN CHORAL UNION NOTICE Scholastic as Well as Musical cagni s Amio F itz."

To increase the speed of the 60- mile-per-hour car of 10 years ago 15 or 20 miles per hour, the power of the engine had to be almost doubled, said Prof. Walter E. Lay of the Mechanical'-engineering de- partment in his radio talk over station WJR at 2 o'clock, yesterday. afternoon. "Using such an engine reduced the distance travelled per gallon of fuel by nearly thirty per cent," he declared. Tests indicate that a practical body may be built which will re- quire only one-half the power that. is needed to push a typical 1931 sedan through the air, Professor Lay stated. This is accomplished' by streamlining the body of the' car. A body with a flat front splashes the air as it moves through while a rather blunt, rounded front does not, Professor Lay said. The rear end of the car, including the spare tire, trunk, and other protuberan- ces, also hold back the car to a certain extent. studying two years in Italy, he made his operatic debut in Mas- Freshman Physical Examinations Show 14 Percent Perfect According to men's health ratings, based on entrance medical exam- inations given to freshmen and all transferring students, only 14 per cent were given an A rating. This grade was given to only those of the students who showed themselves free from any defect which would interfere with" their studies or would be likely to* bother, them in later life. There were 303 of such stu- dents out of the group of 1,876 who were examined. Group B was composed of 1.034, 55 per cent of these given -the med- ieal examination. All of these stu- dents were found to have some minor defect which should be fol- lowed up at the students leisure, to see just how much could be done to remedy the condition. Definite defects to be checked up at the Health Service within one month were found in 30 per cent of the people entering.
