Gangster Has Great Burial
Chicago, May 18.?The lifetime Elegance
of Joseph Guinta, the Capone
gangster who paid with his life last;
week for his alleged part in the St.
Valentine's day massacre, was reflected
in his funeral Saturday. What
the ceremony lacked in clerical
.benefits?there was no priest in at.
tendance?it made up in rich material
trappings. The body of the gangland
Beau Brummel lay in a silver casket.
A red electric light shone on the stiff
front of his diEss shirt. Just before
the funeral procession left the house
relatives removed, the diamond studs .
"from Joe's shirt front and replaced
them with plain black links?a
triumph of American custom over the
traditions of Guinta's native Sicily.
"He looks so young and innocent,''
said one Of the women mourners who wore
a rich fur coat despite the heat
of the day. Others remarked approvingly
on how well the undertakers
had covered up thet bruises
and bullet holes which Guinta's rival ,
gangsters had inflicted upon him last ;

Lavatre States Details
t)n Purchase of Papers
Washington, May 11,?Their pur has?
of four southern newspaper*
h rough an $87<K0Q0 loan by the International
Paper and Power company
and unsuccessful negotiations
iUo supported by tihat concern, in*
solving more than a dozen other
newspapers in the soutty, were described
today by William Lavarre and
Harold Hall, before the federal trade
L-om mission.
Lavarre and Hall, "Who ;werc
witnesses at the fcommission's hearing,
investigating newspaper financial interests
in the International Paper and
Power company, testified that the
|870,000 loan completely financed
their purchase of the Augusta, Ga.,
Chronicle, the Columbia, >8. C. Record,
and the Spartanburg Herald and
Journal. . ?
The loan was made on notes given
by them to the International Paper
and Power company subsidiary, the
International Paper Co., and the notes
were secured by the newspaper#
stock.
Lavarre testified that the arrangements
for the financing of the newspaper
purchases were made last November
by Hall and himself with
Archibald R. Graustein of Boston,
president of the International Paper
and Power company.
Asked whether, the InternationnI
Paper company supplied all the
money paid for this purchase, LaArre
replied affirmatively and said
that the International company had
loaned him the funds on notes secured
by the stock of the newspapers.
"The stock of the newspaper haaa
been morally turned over to the International
Paper company" Lavarre
said, "but the stock is physically in
a safety deposit vault in the Chase
National bank of New York." He ad
ded that the stock certificates of the
newspaper had not been assigned or
delivered to the International company.
?
-In- his "testimony Lavarre related
several unsuccessful efforts to purchase
southern - newspapers. On his
first trip south In {September J.928, he
said he and Hall and a Mr. BeWitt, a
New York newspaper broker, visited
Bv H. Peace, publisher of the Greenville,
S. C. News and the Piedmont
but Peace would not consider the sale. I
In Asheville, Lavarre testified, he
conferred with the owners of the,
Asheville , Times and the ^ Asheville
Citizen and suggested purchase price
for the two pewspapers but "made no ]
deal."
In Charlotte, N. C., Mf. Lavarre
said that he also talked with the
publishers of the Charlotte Observer
and the Charlotte News but made no
offers for these newspapers.
In answer to a question by R. E.
Healy, chief cofnmission counsel, as
to hbw he came to seek aid from the
paper company, Lavarre replied:
"I suggested it to myself after I'
had heard about their financing of
the Chicago papers." He added that
he thought it was "a logical tie-up
between newspapers and a paper company.

People Should Know I r
Who is Behind Move !
.
Abbeville, April 30.?Commenting
on Washington news dispatches in-1
diculing tluit I urge eastern power
''interests" have recently purchased
control of certain daily newspapers
in South Carolina, State Senator
feed West, who is also president of I
the State Press association said to-1
night that the people of the state
"should know who stands behind
these newspapers and the purpose for
which they are purchased."
Mr. West's statement follows:
"The press of South Carolina has I
always stood for the upbuilding of
the state. It has stood unswerved by
influence of any kind, and unmindful I
of personal gain, always maintaining
the t ights of the people. The in-1
tegnty of the South Carolina editor!
hus never been questioned. As pres-1
ident of the State Press association I I
believe t lut any organization has the I I
right to purchase newspaper proper-1
ties when and where they please. I
But the people should know who L
stands behind those properties and I
the purposes for which they are
purchased. Especially is that true in
view of the revelations of two years
4fco. As t\ state senator and as rep-1 J
tescntative of the people 1 believe
that every phase of the matter should
be given to the people of the state.
If this information is not revealed
freely and willingly theii it should be
forced through legislative investigation.
The development of our state
is inevitable and her people certainly
do not want to be strangled by a
subsidized press."
A Sure Refuge
On one of the many suburban
trains in and out of Chicago two wo- j
ipen seat mates were speaking of
places to go for summer vacations.
Said one: "We went to a resort
not far from Duluth last year, but
we'll never go there again. Irish
people swarmed all over the place."
Answered the other: "Well, we
fbund the same trouble at a place up
iii Canada?just too many Irish!"
^either had noticed a quaint figure
in the sent directly ahead until she
turned squarely about, the map of
Ireland done in indignant red on her
round face. (She fixed with fiery eye
each in turn before she rapped out,
"Yez had better bothe go to hell I
(There's no Irish there!"
