Thursday noon ifter less than four
days of business there were near

as were employed during the en

sobbing wildly, sank Into her
chair and threw her arms around
a polico woman sitting next to
her. Pictures showing details ot
iho ratal wound were also shewa
on the screen.
Earl Eilingson, brother of the
girl, was the first witness. He
placed responsibility of the mur

desire for continual excitemznt.

bring her friends of the night life

Informed that the bill of Senator
Kendrick, democrat, Wyoming,
providing aid to settlers on new
irrigation projects, is -not in con
flict w'th President Coolldo's
program, it was learned here lo

At hearings before the commit

that his bill authorizes advances
by the government from the recla
mation fund of (iO per cent of ;!k
value of permanent improvements
or livestock of a settler up to
.iutju. me settler would pay 4
per cent interest and provide 40

the government is the only aeny
with any control over the a.t ;

OF
New York. Jan. 17 Praise of
Premier Mum lini and the fnscmti
government and criticism of the
opposition partly were voiced to
day by Don GclnMo, Italian am
barsador to Ihe United Btates, In
a speech before the Italian cham
ber of commerce here today. The
ambassador said he was speaking,
"not as a diplomat, b it as a man
who is on the eve of entering Into
political utrife."
To refit the KnglKli parliamen
tary system to tho needs of Italy,
i?nid tho ambassador, a tailor had
to be called in. "Mussolini has been
the tailor," he uddd, "and fascism.-)
his scissors."
There Is one characteristic dif
ference In the psychic and Intel
lectual make-up of the Anglo
Saxon and tho Latin peoples." he
Mild. "The former have, a highly
developed political conscience and
great rap.icPy for social organiza
tion. Tho Latins, lnteid, are
eminently indlvi!ualbtllc; endowed
with hli;h Intellectual creative pow
ers, they lack politloil und social
coalescence."
Tho result of this, h-! asserted,
is thU the Italian parliamentary
body. Instead of having a two
party system, breaks up In a "mul
titude of blicks and parties hav
ing widely different political ten
dencies." The parliamentary regime in
Italy, he Bald, had always func
ilon?d niore or f bally, but af
ter the war had "degenerated Into
wu'-h a political nie.ss ih.m fast-Wn.
upheld by popular indignation, had
to hi p In and take In hand the
