Kahn Contends
u. S. Shares i'm
Allied Problem
Financier Tells Pittsburgh
Traffic Club We Must
Give Practical Help in
Stabilization of Europe
Aims Are Interrelated
Willard Predicts Railroads
Eventually Will Prove
Private Ownership Best
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

PITTSBURGH, April 28.--Otto H.
Kahn. of New York, speaking before
the Traffic Club here tonight, insisted
that the United States must aid in
practical ways in the settlement of
European problems.
More or less related to that subj ect," ;"
said Mr.. Kahn, "is the matter of the
indebtedness of the Allied nations to
our government, arising out of the war
and amounting to $4,000, 100000
Il am not one of those who approach
the matter of that debt with feeling
OF apologize difidence. 1t is justly
due us. 1T we are unqusstionably
called 94 to take fully into account
the circumstances under and the pur-
poses for which these loans were con-
tracted, the existing abnormal state of
the exchanges and the difficulties of
the economic problems which confront
oul Allied friends.
II do not mean to put Germany's
debt to the Allies, and especially to
France, on the same footing as the
Allied debts to u.s. There enters into
the claim of France against Germany
moral element which far surpasses
any merely legal right. The conscience
of the world will not be satisfied until
Germany shall have made to France at
least that degree of material repara-
ton, inadequate though it must be at
best, which by her utmost practicable
efforts she is able to produce.
Yet, to an extent all these prob
lens of debts arising from the war
are interrelated. Situated as we are,
1t is our duty, as it is our seif-interest,
to deal with them on broad, far-sighted
and literally constructive lines
"The debts of the Allied nations to
US are no ordinary commercial debts
and they cannot be treated as if they
were. To the extent that we use them,
or part of them, to aid effectively in
Fastening the establishment of eco
nomic equilibrium and political settle
ment in Europe, they will have proved
a good investment, both actually and
morally"
Daniel Willard, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, who also
spoke, indicated that private ownership
Of the railroads of the country is now
having it's last trial. He said:
BY virtue of the transportation act
of 1920 Congress, in my opinion, has
made private ownership and operation
of the railroads possible. but whether
private ownership will actually endure
will depend upon whether the people
as a whole continue to want it,
Private capital and individual in
itiative gave us in the pasr the best
transportation system, with the lowest
rates, in the world Private capital
and individual initiative, if given the
opportunity, will also provide the
necessary extensions in the future, and
when the economic readjustment now
under way shall have been accom-
plished l venture to predict that the
transportati ton charges of the Ameri-
can railroads will in the future as in
the past continue to be the lowest in
the world ,,

BUFFALO, April 28.-Charles Druck-

preme Court on charge of grand lar
ceny growing out of the wire tanning
swlndle whereby Michael Connolly. a
wealthy contractor Of Montreal lost
sl25,oO0 IN this city in 1918. was on
the stand to-day in his own defense.
District Attorney Guy B. Moore
sought to make Drucker admit that he
rad taken part in other wire -tappin 2
ventures and had Aeeced other wealthy
Canadians, including s. n. Parent, for
mer Speaker of the Dominion Parlia-
ment, out of approximately 1851, 900.
An emphatic mo" was Drucker's reply
to the questions. He denied that he had
ever seen Connolly before the trial
began.
In the course of a long direct and
he was part owner of the "Broadway
brevities" show, that he operated a
cham OF clothing stores in various
cities, that he was an eX-convict, and
that he knew "Nicky" Arnsten and his
wife
Fake Police Raid Fooled Victim
Connolly has identified Drucker as
one of the men he says swindled him
out of his money in a fake brokers'
office in the Chaplin Block here in No
vember and December, 1918 Connolly
says he won several times on bets
placed on horses, lost $50 900. and final
~ dropped a wager Of $4,000 by a
dummy police raid He had Just
been told that he had won when the
raid was staged. He thought the vista
tion genuine then, but doubts soon as
sailed him
The name of Parent was mentioned
in the case when District Attorney
Moore asked Drucker if he had not
fieeced Parent by wire tapping pro-
ject. The question was met BY an en-
phatic denial from Drucker
Following this Mr.. Moore questioned
the defendant about a long series O!
supposed wire tapping schemes by
which several wealthy Canadians were
defrauded of amounts ranging from
$4,000 to 100000. Drucker deniec
knowledge of these matters. Among tn.
Canadians mentioned by Mr.. Moore as
having been duped and the amount

Moore gave no particulars.
In telling of his business connec-
tions, Drucker said that he conducted

time Of the alleged Connolly swindle
had shops in New FORK, Cleveland.
Erje, Dayton. jamestown, Toledo,
Charlestown and Youngstown.

Gallery of every one of the places

Counsel for the defense objected and
was sustained
A surprise came when the defendant
admitted that he had been convicted
OF robbery and sent to the Ohio State
penltentlary for eight years. He was
pardoned after serving a short time,
according to the records. He denied
tnat ne had ever met Connolly or
Arthur Ecremont, the former member
OF the Canadian Parliament who
Connolly says introduced him to
Drucker.
A strong alibi for Drucker was pre-.
sented by the defense in the afternoon.

Fiume Seized by
Fascist and New
Regency Set Up
Death Is Decreed for All
Traitors to Italy's Cause;
Clashes With Jugo-Slavs
Grow on Dalmatian Coast
Special Gable to The Tribune

Copyright, AL New 7 Iork Tribune Inc.
MILAN, Italy, April 28.-Renewed
disorders in Fiume, coupled with un-
friendly acts by Jugo- Slavs in other
Adriatic coast cities, have increased
the friction and tension between the
two countries. A body of Fascist, or
extreme nationalists, from Trieste in
vaded Fiume in motor cars yesterday,
took possession of the city and pro-
claimed new regency under Rickardo
Gigantic, former Mayor of Fiume The
city's militia joined the Fascist in
procession proclaiming the new regency
and cheering the name of d'Annunzio.
The first act of the new regent was
to issue a decree saying that the new
regime represents the spirit and tradi-
tlons of Italy and that therefore all
traitors to the Italian cause, if caught
conspiring or fighting. will be court
martialled and shot. Count Caccia,
who represents the Rome government,
has been asked to recognize the re-
gency.
The Socialist and Croatians, abetted
by the Jugo-Slavs, have resorted to
all sort of unfriendly acts against the
Italians along the Dalmatian coast and
on the islands recently cleared by
Italian troops. The food supplies from
Jugo- Slavia for Zara have been cut,
contrary to the treaty of Rapallo which
had specifically provided against such
action. At San Marco, the old Vene-
tian lions have been destroyed and
monuments to the glory of old Venice
in other cities have been destroyed or
damaged.
Because Of these disorders the evacu-
alton by Italian troops of other dis
tricts is being held up, while the matter
is being referred to the JugoSlav rep
rcsentatives in Rome. The Italian dele
gates in Belgrade have also been in
structed to proceed no further in work
inc out the application of the financial
clauses of the Treaty of Rapallo
Among other caues of friction is the
Jugo-Slav opposition to Italian fishing
rights on the coast of Dalmatia.
ROME, April 27.-Fascisti to-day set
fire to labor headquarters at Terni,
after having held numerous meetings
and parades the night before, during
which they forced the Socialist officials

Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-That day
light saving is injurious to the health
and nervous system of humans is the
contention of DR.. William Franklin
Baker, president of the Philadelphia
County Homeopathic Medical society.
He gives what he considers conclusive
proof Of the contention.
:. The proof is contained in expert
ments which DR.. Baker carried on
with two rabbits. Rabbits are af-
fected in much the same way as hui
mans would .be under certain condi-
tons, the doctor said. and that is why
they are used extensively in medical
and, scientific experiments.
The two rabbits with which DR..
Baker experimental were the same
weight and from the same litter when
he started, he said. They were living
then under normal conditions. Now
after few months living by day.
light saving time, one Of the rabbits
is ten ounces lighter and is nervous
and twitchy, while the other, kept UNI
der regular conditions, is perfectly
normal in, every way. -. '-~~
The "day.lght-saving" rabbit was
kept awake for one hour every night
and awakened. AN hour earlier in the
morning, simplating, according to@Dr.
Baker, the results of day-light-saving
on the ruman race. a. !
what sstrues Of rabbits is true Of
human beings, particularly Of the
young," said DR. Baker. There is a
definite rhythm or cycle Of the day.
It%is well known fact that man
reaches his lowest ebb of energy be-
tween Q and a o'clock in the morn

not recover as thoroughly from his
low ebb. Often it is moon before he
