Judge W. II. Uovrinng IN LAST BREATH Chicago, July 9 (AP) Only the name "Cavalerro" spoken by the dying Tony Gcnna, and three theories in motives of his . assas sination guided police inquiry to day into the latest upheaval In Chi cago gangland. Third member of hla family to Tall before bullets in six weeks, Tony yielded to entreaties of rela lives at his' death bed and broke his gangster's code of silence to gasp tho name. And with this slight cluo the police began gath ering suspect;; for questioning and possible identification. The interrogation of seven men, taken Into custody last night, was based on polico belief that rebel lion among dealers and distributors against the Gcnna control of al cohol had caused tho fatal shoot ing of Tony yesterday-in the heart of Little Italy; or that the shoot ing was another act of reprisal for the murder last Novomber of Dion O'Banlon, rival gang leader. In the plea of Sam Genna, Tony's brother, for police protection, in vestigators saw grounds for be lief that tho entire Genna clan has been marked for death. PLEAD GUILTY Jess Wade an.'

(AP) William Jennings Bryan be lieves that John T. Scopes, de fendant in the Tennessee evolu tion trial "Is doing more harm to the teachers of the country than to any other class.

"If the evolutionists can suc ceed in establishing the doctrine that a teacher can teach anything that he or she pleases," said Mr. Bryan, "and teachers disregard the wishes of their employers, it will become necessary to find be fore appointment what the teach er thinks on disputed questions, because the people who employ teachers will be just as certain to prevent teaching what is objec tionable to those who employ the teachers as bankers and business men are to prevent clerks from running the banks contrary to instructions of their employers.

The Iscae has been brought to a head, it was announc ed today at the department of Justice by the state fisheries board issuing a lease to the Co lumbia River Packers association despite a protest of the United States attorney on behalf of the government. If the state's leesee carries out its announced intention to begin at once the laying of fishing and casting nets, the action will con stitute in the opinion of the de partment a "trespass" and the United States attorney has been instructed to commence Injunc tion proceedings when such ac tion is taken. The department's announce ment ndc'ed that lessees of United States cr other fishing, sites on the island probably would cooper ate with the government In the litigation. The fishing privileges for some time have been leased by the gover. ment but the state recently protested on the ground that the island property, turned over to the war department yearn ago for military purposes, had not been used for such.
