Tt was disclosed to-day that Al Capone, king of Chicago gangdom, fs maintaining a free soup kitchen and is feeding 3,000 hungry unemployed men daily.
Capone kept himself inaccessible to the press when reporters tried to interview him, although on previous occasions when his alleged misdeeds in connection with his "beer ring" and other matters were in question hie had not hesitated to receive interviewers and to declare that there was neither crime nor sin in purveying beer, in his opinion.
'A representative of Capone finally. saw the reporigrs, however, and Mr. Capone just can't stand it to see men hungry. So he has opened the kitchens and everybody is welcome."—United Press.
