BRIT.11N IS HUNGRY FOR ALL SPEED RP,C.Oi.1)S In 1910 when the c" :'!cl was thrill- ing it anticipation ',f flights acres., the Atlantic, we note] some astonish- r'rl cr,nunents that the successful t m: rican venture under Lieut. A. C. 1' ead, which was the first, seen ed to ha\ • been planned with a good deal if caution and deliberation, while the British fliers made a single dash. The Read crossing was in flying Loots, which made a non-stop flight to the Azores where they rested for several weeks before proceeding to Lisbon. Alcock and Browne soared away from Newfoundland and landed in Ireland. The comments on the contrast between these achievements were to the effect that the nationz seemed to have changed roles. 'The British were traditionally supposed to be rather slow and plodding in their methods with a habit of arriving in the end, while the Americans were more for dashing, single attempts which were much more spectacular but a good deal more risky. It is worth while noting that it is in the matter of extreme speed that the British now excel all other nations. They hold the flying record, the auto- mobile record and the motorcycle rec- ord. They are now out to beat the automobile record and attach the motor -boat record. In a short time the mile record for automobiles set at the rate of 231 miles per hour by Major Sir Henry O'Neal Dehane Segrave will be at- tacked by Kay Don, another English- man, who was a noted flier in the war. So far as national pride is concerned, the Segrave record of 231 m.p.h. is just as gratifying as the possible 250 M.p.h. that Don may reach. We cannot blind ourselves to the fact that Mr. Don is likelier than not to kill himself in the attempt and it would be a pity to see such an end- ing to so gallant a career. But the competition, we gather, is among manufacturers of motor cars, oils and various other accessories, and this is probably just as keen among rival British manufacturers as it is be- tween them and foreign rivals. The trial will be made and no amount of preliminary newspaper croaking will affect it. We can only wish Mr. Don the best of luck when he lets his car down on the Florida beach, and, as the horsemen would say, asks her a ques- tion. `May the answer be in the af- firmative! Don's ear is called The Silver Bul- let, and also answers to the name of The Man -Made Meteor. It promises to be the fastest car ever built, and theoretically, this title cannot he de- nied it. The designer, Louis Coate - ism, says that it is capable of a speed of 250 m.p.h., but others says that the figure is nearer 275. The chief difference between the Silver Bullet and Segrave's Golden Arrow and Carptain Malcom Campbell's Blue Bird is that the Don car motors have been built specially for automobile racing rathejr than for seaplanes. It is fitted WI& tWo 12 -cylinder, V- shaped motor engines, each weighing 1,000 poulnde and oath developing THE IWRON EXPOSITOR TONSTI PATION • COMPLETELY GONE, • writes Mrs. W. Walker.

Get"Fruit-a-dives"fromdruggisttoday. • 2,000 horse power, a weight and pow- er ratio never before reached in auto- mobile engineering. A writer says that Don fits into the cockpit of the car like a hand into a glove. Fire- proof bulkheads protect him from serious injury—if he is lucky. At the rear of the car are vertical planes of stabilizers to assist in keening the ear on the course and discourage it from trying to soar like a plane. There is nothing to break the clean sweep of the silvered body of the car, which is one of the most beautiful ever produced. There are two enormous radiators in the nose of the car each needing between 500 and 600 pounds of ice for cooling purposes. There are al- so two propeller shafts working 'in different directions so as to prevent twisting, which might happen at great speeds if only one shaft were used. The total weight of the caris three tons, and it has cost about £20,600 to build. It is estimated that this car will run for about six minutes if everything turns out as expected. The course is over a three-mile' stretch, to be run each way. The first mile will see Don getting up speed. The second mile is the measured stretch over which he will be timed for the record, and the third mile will enable him to throttle down his car. Then the process will be reversed, and the average time taken over the two mid- dle miles will be Don's record, Major Segrave, after setting the automobile record, announced that he would not seek to lower it until it had been broken by somebody else. So for the time being he has given up motor driving. The last time he was heard of at the wheel of a car was a few months ago in London when he was rebuked by a policeman for tructing traffic by dawdling along at busy intersection. His presen ambition is to establish a rec- ord for motor boats and he will try to achieve it at the international meet- ing in Detroit this summer. He has already driven speed boats but his new model is said to be far the fast- est he has had. It is better stream- lined than its predecessor, with new principles of construction, which are expected to minimize loss of power. The boat is also much lighter. The present record is 93 miles an hour, held by Gar Wood. It is probable that the winner at Detroit, whoever he turns out to be, will have to make 100 miles. Major Segrave says he believes that his craft is capable of 120. TALKIES ARE RECORDING CON- FESSIONS OF, 1%IURDERERS A criminal's confession reproduced in the talkies has been accepted by a Philadelphia court as legal evidence against him. Philadelphia, so far as .ave know, is the first city to adopt this method which is likely to be wide - '.y used if on appeal the courts decide that confessions thus presented are admissible. In this case the convict- ed man was a milkman who turned robber, and naturallyless drama at- tached to his case than to that of a murderer. But the Philadelphia po- lice have also the talkie record of a murderer making his confession, and Major Lemuel B. Schofield, director of public safety, declares that hence- forth this device will be employed by him. He points out several advant- ages over the other system, one of the most important being that it will remove all suspicion of the third de- gree from the police when they go into court with a confession. We think that he is unduly optimistic on this point, while we can see that if the mechanical representation of the confession is admitted in courts of law the work of securing a conviction will be simplified. It is perhaps not generally under- stood that after the police—any police —make an arrest their chief object is to get the a.ctused person to make a confession. That automatically winds up the case, so far as they are concerned. No more work is needed. They can sleep with easy consciences. No matter how skilfully a detective has worked up a case against an ac- cused person and no matter how sure he may be of a subsequent conviction the confession is always welcomed. Without it there must persist an ele- ment of doubt, however slight. The late Walter J. Wilkinson, for many years news editor of The and Empire, and earlier a noted police re- porter, used to tell the story of how he was able to get a scoop about a murderer's confession. He saw a de- tective leaving the jail where) the ldlshlJ` yin MAR H21,199, 1 prisoner was confined and asked him if there were any developments in the case. The detective said no. Witten asked what evidence he had he re- plied "All 1 want." To Mr. Wilkin- son, versed in the ways of detectives as he was, this plainly meant that a confession had been made. He an- nounced it in his paper, and though it was immediately denied by the •po- lice, when the case came to trial his deduction was proved to have been correct. It is this strong desire for confes- sions that has brought into existence the infamous third degree in the United States. Prisoners are beaten, starved, kept without sleep, threaten. ed, cajoled, lied to and subjected to other kinds of illegal terrorism and ill -usage to force confessions from them. It is quite a common occur- rence for the prisoner to later on re- pudiate his confession, and since the general public is pretty well aware of the methods employed by the po- lice the average jury pays little atten- tion to confessions unless they are supported by other evidence. But Major 'Schofield says that a jury must be convinced when on the screen in the courtroom appears a moving pic- ture of th'b prisoner being questioned by the police, and his voice, admitting the crime, isslaes from the appropri- ate machinery. It seems likely that a much greater atmosphere of truth will be presented by this means than by the reading of a signed statement. Of course it will be open for the prisoner w'ho wishes to withdraw his confession to declare that before he made it he was subjected to the third degree. But the time of the record- ed confession would in many cases contradict such statements. If a man is arrested, at 9 o'clock and his con- fession is being recorded at 10, the presumption is that he is making it willingly and not as a result of .police pressure. Newspapermen who recent- ly saw and heard a private exhibition of the confession in the Philadelphia case of a youth named Peters, who murdered his sweetheart, were great- ly impressed. It was more thrilling than anything they had seen in the movies. It was a ghastly drama from real life. Of course; in this case and others like 'it where the crime was committed as a result of thwarted or perverted love, the instinct to talk about it is strong in the murderer. Peters was actually caught red-hand- ed by the parents of the girl before he could turn the still smoking pistol on himself. His confession could make little or no difference in the matter of conviction. Madder W al=Fess Makes Life Misery!

But on second thought it seems that it might mean a difference, and one favorable to the prisoner. He was speaking shortly after the crime had been committed and was still struggling with the terrible emotions of despair and remorse that over- whelmed him. It seems likely that the screen representation would help the jurors to enter into the feelings of the tortured man and, perhaps, have a sympathy for him that he could not generate when months lat- er he faced them from the prisoner's dock. On the other hand a confes- sion made in cold blooded bravado like that of "Texas" Baker, the whole- sale poisoner who was arrested tha ether day, would make an impression on the average jury that no subse- quent dramatics on the part of the prisoner and his lawyers could ever obliterate. The talkie confession would also tend to banish possibility of error which exists when a trans• lator depends on shorthand notes, and when a dispute as to the use or meaning of a word arises. But that it will banish the third degree is too much to expect. It will merely tend to sharpen the wits of those who em- ploy it. CHICAGO GANG WAR TRANS- FERRED TO FLORIDA "Scarface Al"' Capone is about to leave prison and return to his man- sion in Miami, there to recuperate from the rigors of a twelve-month spent behind bars. It will be recalled that Capone, perhaps the most notori- ous of modern gunmen, and one of the gang which terrorized Chicago for years, was not convicted for mur- der or any other of the dozens of serious crimes which the police credit him with committing. He was mere- ly picked up by a Philadelphia detec- tive and found in possession of a re- volver. It was an anti -climax equal- ling that of "General" Coxey who led his famous hungry army to Wash- ington many years ago, causing many people to fear that a revolution was about to break forth. On his arrival in Washington Coxey was arrested for walking on the grass and the revolution wag over. iSo Capone was picked up casually by an undisting- uished Philadelphia detective. Whe- ther he was accidentally stumbled up- on. or whether he wanted to be ar- rested to prevent himself being mur- dered, or what else may have been behind the arrest and sentence few people know. For the time being Capone has shifted his headquarters from Chicago to Miami and will pres- ently figure again in the nws from Florida. In the opinion of a special corre- spondent of the New York World Capone is planning to corner the boot- leg business of Florida. In this enter- prise he will" again come into col- lision with the 'Bugs" Moran gang with which he and his henchmen "shot it out" more or less• inconclus- ively in Chicago. While Capone was in jail the Morons worked to estab- lish themselves, and though Capone's representatives, including a couple of his brothers, were on the scene look- ing after Al's interests, the Morons onntrivprl to build up quite an organ- iaation. Erich side is supposed to have lined tip various political bosses •'nd lawyers Both are getting a ^Artsin am•cnnt of protection, but reither' will likely be satisfied with merely a share of the buginecs though at; will run into millions. • So what Miami fears is a gang war which may . prove no better advertisement for Florida than the ` iterranean fruit fly or the oceas16 hurricanes that visit thoirse fair strands. But Florida is in an embarrassing posi- tion. It certainly 'does not want a gang war between, bootleggers but just as certainly it wants bootleggers. vr.

Phone No. 13 In their absence it might be difficult to induce the millionaires in such profitable numbers to spend their winters in Florida. One of the understood but not pub -I licly proclaimed advantages of tem- porary residence in Florida is that! good Scotch can be bought for $48 al 'ase, which is not much more than it can be legally bought for in Ontario. Other kinds of liquors are corres- pondingly cheap and available. The source of supply is, of course, the Bahamas, where liquor _ is, easily I bought at reasonable 'ratesIt is1 then shot across the narrow stretch' of intervening water in motor boats.; Even in the winter when the coast guard and prohibition ages are most numerous and watchful not more than one in every 20 cargoes is' stopped. In the summer when the watch is not so strict the percentage of arrests is even lower and the car- goes are just as large. Rum running from the Bahamas is an all -year- round business, It is said that car -1 loads of whiskey are shipped north every day of the year despite the fact that the fly inspectors are vigilant. Though they are able to detect a single spot on a grapefruit they ap- pear unable to notice a car of Scotch whiskey. The idea is, of course, that they are not particularly looking for it. The Florida police are reported as fearing that Capone will be welcomed home with machine guns by the Mor- an gang. But ohn Capone, brother of Al, and in temporary charge of the Capone gang, laughs at the idea. The Morans, he says, are yellow. They would not dare shoot. We can im- agine that Brother Al would depre- cate such talk. Since it is well cal- culated to string one of the gang up to the' pitch of proving that he is not yellow and proving it on the body of the •scarfaced gunman. John says it is by no means impossible that his brother should be shot but if so it will be the work of some fanatic. But we doubt if Al cares whether a mem- ber of the Moran gang or some un- attached fanatic kills him. He is un- derstood to be strongly opposed to being killed by anybody, especially at the present moment when he is look- ing forward to the time of his life. To prolong his career he will not re- turn to Florida by a fast train but will proceed more leisurely by boat. The Moran and Capone gangs have already come into collision h' Florida over the gambling houses about Miami. A recent reform wave that engulfed that astonished city is said to have been brought about by the Capone faction which sought to shut down all games of chance. Later some of them would be reopened, but all in the hands of Capones, the Mor- ons who already have some important interests in them being frozen out. ;But the gambling, considerable though it is, remains a source of mere "chicken feed" compared with the liquor profits. A monopoly in rum entering Florida, would probab- , ly be worth quite as much as a mon- ( opoly iri gasoline in the same area. Capone has already plenty of money , but like other successful business men he does not like the idea of retiring, especially since he is in his physical prime. He likes the notoriety and the excitement, as much as he likes the profits. Moreover, he hates the idea of the Moran gang entering in- to possession of such a kingdom. The report is that he is generally popu- lar. He spends his money freely and the local merchants are all for him. AllED11Lbs. in8Wks' And a Boy Friend." writes Susan Salino.

Whether from policy, good nature or blackmailing pressure he gives away large sums and can be depended up- on as a staunch supporter of local industries. Even a local tailor has received an order for five new suits of clothes which await Capone when he arrives on Star Island.
