The Chase and National City,
New York's two biggest banks,
deny that they are collecting
luniks on the east coast to
compete with and checkmate
the bank collecting of Ginn
nini, the California whirlwind.
There is little doubt, how
ever, that Oiannini's simple
plan of applying to banks the
principle of the United and
Sehn.lt e cigar stores, big busi
ness, one overhead, will spread
and change the country's en
tire banking situation.
France expects a clash be
tween the Vatican and Musso
lini's fascist government.
The fascist announced a
friendly arrangement with the
Vatican, giving back to "ttie
pope some of the property
taken from him in the days of
Garibaldi.
The Vatican says, "No fas
cist co-operates with an estab
lished government that repre
sents spoliation of the pope."
Yesterday's news from Rome
represents Mussolini as reply
ing to the pope's recent criti
cism of fascist education of
Italian youth with a threat to
legislate in restraint of Catho
lic education and training of
hoys, particularly the Catholic
Hoy Scouts.'
There is possibility of trou
ble there. .
g ,
Lord Rothmere says Musso
lini is earth's greatest man,
"the greatest figure of our
age," and "the fascist regime
is unshakable."
, i
net-tl j
Mussolini says, "I
pence," and he means it. But
unless he has peace with the
Vatican, which controls mil
lions of consciences in Italy, he
cannot be sure of peace or that
his ''regime is unshakable."
Great Britain has l.Ofifi.OOO

have more than 1,800,000 idle.
Senator Warner, speaking
Jcr the Democratic party, says
that there are more than 4,000,
000 idle.
Unemployment, whatever the
correct tiaure. disgraces this coun
try. Hundreds of millions are pil
ing up In the treasury, hundreds
of millions worth of work out to
be done. There is no excuse for
the idleness.
O f
Democrats, on the other hand, do
not help themselves or hurt Re
publican prospects when they ex-
bgtferate unemployment and the
threat of hard times.
Too much of that talk will cause
the Democratic party to he associ
ated In the public mind with disas
ter. Cassandra and Jeremiah, even
when they told the truth, were not
popular. Xoliody would have voted
to elect them president and vice

tee of Senator Deneen was warned j
in an anonymous telephone, call J
that ho had been marked for a j
bomb. A report that a political ,
meeting of Circuit Judge Kwauson
was to he broken up by bombs
spread alarm and then blew up of
its own momentum, the meeting
being held without Incident.
A municipal court bailiff who
has been a ward worker for the
autl-Deneen forces headed by
Mayor Thompson, and State's At
torney Crowe was shot and seri
ously wounded by one of a dozen
federal agents who raided a saloon
at State street, near 67th.
Tho torch was added to the Chi
cago killers' repertoire when a
man whoso name Is believed to
have been Marchese was shot
down nnd then burned after guso
tlne had been poured over the
body. A card In the man's purse
carried the name of l'aul Ofnr
chese. That Is the family name of
the widow of Diamond Joe Kspo
slto, Denoen worker slain nine
days ago.
From Washington came word
that Attorney Oerteral Sargent had
received the request of United
States Marshal Palmor Anderson
for authority to deputize addition
al marshals on primary election
day, and that ho would study the
facts before making a decision.
The slaying of Marchese and the
shooting of William Beatty, the
bailiff, were not given any direct
connection with tho Poneon and
Thompson-Crowe factions. Tho
name Marchese suggested the Dia
mond Joe slaying uiul thus a polit
ical connection through Diumond
Joe's friendship for Scnutor De
neen. The shooting of Beatty was
made mysterious hy determination
of the federal men to handle the
affair Independent of police.
Tho agents, headed by Q. F.
Guiding, chief of the general In
vestigators who nro presumably
working directly out of Washing
ton, arriving at the saloon armed
with pistols, shotguns, sledge ham
mers and a machine gun. Beatty
and his wife, who had dropped
Into tho place from a political
meeting, believed tho place was
being held up, Mrs. Beatty later
said that she and Beatty started
for the hack door.
"Someone shouted to us to stop"
she said, "but wo were afraid to.
Then thoro was a shot and my
husband fell."
When police, answering a riot
call, roached tho placo they were
refused entrance hy tho federal
men. A second squad with a patrol
wagon followed. Beatty, with a
bullet wound In his left side, was
placed In the patrol wagon and
taken under federal guard to a
hospital.
Holding's story was that Beatty
Jumped up nnd began firing. "Two
of my men had to shoot back In
self defense," ho said. "But It's
none of the police business. Wo
can handle this at the federal
building."
Mayor Thompson, Informed of

said ho had no objection "If those

Appealed In Taxi to Late
Dakota Senator, Who Be
came Incensed at Pro
posal, Says Coloradoan
Fall Deposition Favors
Sinclair.
WASHINGTON. Mar. 30. (JP)
A story that Will H. Hays sought
to bring political pressure to bear
on the lute Senator Kdwin F. Ladd
of North Dakota, theu chairman
of the Teapot Dome committee to
end abruptly the oil Investigation
In 1924, was related here today by
former Senator Alva T. Adams, of
Colorado who then wus a member
of the committee.
Adams said that Ladd had relat
ed the Incident to him at the time
of its occurrence.
The story was that Hays had
come to Washington and summon
ed the veteran chairman of the
committee to the White House.
Ladd assumed that the invitation
waa from the president and pro
ceeded to the executive offices.
He was met there by Hays who
suggested that It might not be welt
for them to be seen together and
proposed that they ride around
town while they discussed the oil
situation. Ladd assented and
started for his automobile but
Hays demurred because of the
presence of the chauffeur and
urged that a taxlcab be used.
The North Dakota independent.
who subsequently was read out of
the republican party councils (n
the senate, concurred and the two
rode around for more than an
hour with Ladd's car following on
ucnimi. Adams said Ladd had
told him that Hays declared th
investigation was beginning . to
take on an; aspect that boded no
good for the republican party and
tnat as a republican the . North
Dakotan should Join with other re
publicans on the committee to
wind It up.
Ladd, as the story goes, finally
became Incensed and reminded the
former that he owed a duty to the
senate In the Investigation and
that terminated the interview,
Ladd stopping the taxlcab and
transferring to his own car which
still had been truiling behind the
puimo vehicle whilo the confer
ence went on.
Adams was unable to recall
whether this occurred before or
after Hays had first taken the
stand before the committee. Hays
nnauy testified that Sinclair made
advance of J2C0.0OO of Continental
Trudlng company Liberty bonds to
Hays to wipe out a campaign de
