On New Code
Coach Lon Stlner of Oregon State
college in addressing the Salem
Lions club today noon Etated, In his
opinion, the "Atherton code" re

manner. However, he added that it

years to determine whether it would
prove beneficial or detrimental to
the smaller schools such as Oregon
State and the University of Oregon.
"One thing is sure," Coach Stiner
said, "since my visit with Mr. Ath
erton at Corvallls yesterday, I know
that he means business. Hereafter
if there is any violation of the rules
'I'm sorry' won't do much good."
Stiner said it was entirely up to
the student now as to where he at
tends college. Once he has made
known his choice, however, the in
stitution he has selected will be In
a position to aid him in working his
way through.

Capone Goes fo
Florida Home
Baltimore, March 81 VP) Dr.
Joseph E. Moore, physician who
has been treating Al Capone, ailing
former Chicago gangland overlord,
said today Capone had left Balti
more. "Alphonse Capone has left Balti
more," Dr. Moore said. "It Is un
derstood that he has returned to
his home In Florida. He Is still 111
and will continue under medical
care."
Miami Beach ,Pla March 31 iifi
Much activity and lights that
blazed throughout the night led to
the belief today that Al Capone
might be behind the sheltering
walls of his luxurious Palm Island
estate, kept prim as a needle for
nearly a decade awaiting him.
The Miami Herald quoted an un
named source as saying the former
Chicago gang leader had returned
to his Florida home, and Capone
disappeared from the House in Bal
timore he had occupied since Jan
uary 8.
Dan Coughland, caretaker at the
Palm Island estate, denied that Ca
pone was here and refused ad
mittance to newsmen.
Under Florida law, Capone must
register as a former felon within
48 hours of his arrival.
The scar-faced former gangster
was discharged from federal prison
at Lewlsburg, Pa., Nov. 16, to which
he was transferred after serving
seven years at Alcatraz and Ter
minal island prison for evading fed
eral Income taxes.
