"Sometimes we allow the men who have been practising music to give a sort of band concert to the other prisoners during a recreation period." But though Al Capone has organ-, ized a prison band, the fortune he piled up as king of Chicago's underworld has secured him no other favors. He smokes the same brand of government tobacco as the other prisoners. He eats the same meals, at the same table. He wears the same denim prison uniform. No $100 Suits There are no expensive cigars, no Jinn tailored suits for the Al Capone of today.

He reads avidly in his cell, preferring, ironically enough, books and magazines of travel. But other prisoners also have the! privilege of the well-stocked prison library. Says U. S. Attorney Henry Mc-Pike: "They may go into Alcatraz as pone has worked in the prison laundry, and the bathroom.

He is now janitor in the bathroom, with the job of cleaning tiles and floors, and the opportunity for occasional band practise in the adjoining prison barber shop. Once a month the former crime king receives a visit from his ife, who journeys faithfully to San Francisco for the privilege of a few minutes conversation through the visiting room "sound screen" with "No. 85." Buys Musical Instruments Among the few things Capone has been allowed to buy since the portals of Alcatraz closed behind him are musical instruments. He has bought and presented to other prisoners a guitar, a tenor banjo and, for himself, an expensive banjo-mandolin. Warden Johnston does not frown on the "orchestra practise." He says: "If the men would rather have band practise than play games during recreation periods, that's all right.

By DOROTHY ROE Copyright 1937. For The Herald SAX FRANCISCO Plump, pouting Al Capone is the "problem child" of Alcatraz. The one-time public enemy No.

one is merely "No. 85 at the rock." Hr cn buy no special privileges, yet he is the object of hatred and envy among the ether prisoners. I learned afier lengthy investigation and talks with former inmates of the federal "Devil's Island" that Alcatraz convicts watch jealously for the sign of favors toward the former big shot" of the Chicago underworld. News of three fights involving "Scaiface Al" has leaked out of the island fortress. Recalls Stabbing The most serious was the stabbing of last summer, when James Luc.

a mail robber, seized a pair of scissors from the prison baibcr shop and gashed Capone in the back and the hand. The wounds were not serious, but Lucas went to the dread dungeon of Alcatraz, and Capone was given two days in the hospi'al. Previously Capone. then working in the hute prison laundry, which Launders the linen for U. S.

navy transport ships as well as for the prison, got into a fight with an-j ether convict. No. 18.V Bill ColherJ The battle occurred in the laundry mangle room. Former inma'e Kenry Larry, recently released after serving a term for mail robbery, says: Al Throw Bench "I don't know what started the row. The first I saw.

Capone and Collier were f.icmg and cursing ea(h other. Then Capone picked up a wooden bench, swung it over head and aimed murderous blow at Coll.er: It would have him if it had landed. "But 'Charlie', the civilian fore man of the laundry, jumped be-' tween them and caught the blow oi hi." arm. I Capone and Collier were given solitary confinement for days." A third fight is reported to have taken place in the prison barber-shop, while Capone was practising; on his banjo-mandolin with Har- mon H'aley, convicted kidnaper of little George Weyerhaeuser, of Ta- coma. For a time Capone and Waif ere pals, and "Scarface" present- i ed his kidnaper friend with a guitar for the prison band.

But the1 two former "public enemies" quar-j relrd. a fight started, band instruments crashed, and guards separated them before any damage was d'MlC. Name Taken Away The sorest punishment to Capone and other convicts who once crash-; ed the front pages is removal from; the spotlight of publicity. This Al-. eatraz has managed to achieve by! its system of completely removing thee public enemies from all contact with the outside world.

Fx public enemies, like retired rnnia donnas, miss the tumult and the shouting, the screaming headlines, the excitement once stirred up by the very mention of their na mi's. They have no names at Alcatraz. And this is one of the master strokes of Warden Johnston, who believes in discipline by psychology, ra'hrr than by torture. He has meted out the medicine of anonymity to his would be prima donnas. The smiling warden diagnoses the one-time overlords of gangland as confirmed show-offs, blatant egoists.

In barring all personal publicity about prisoners he a hit on the most effective form of punishment and discipline. Smiling quizzically, the warden says: Let Nation Forget "We want the nation to forgot they ever heard of such names as Al Capone. 'Machine Gun' Kelly. Alvm Karpis. or any of the others who once piled up newspaper head lines.

"That is their worst punishment. They miss the spotlight even more, possibly, than they miss their freedom. Psychology, you see. plays a large part in prison discipline." During his term in Alcatraz.
