CRIME WAVE CLUE
OBTAINED IN ARREST
OF DETROIT BARBER
CBy Associated Press)


DETROIT, Aug. 17.-Detroit police
today were at work on what they as
serted was one of the first tangible
clues to the wave OF murder, and
bombing outrages that has been sweep
ing through the local Italian colony in
the past four years.
The arrest in New York yesterday
of Bartolow Fontanno, former Detroit
barber and the information he gave
concerning the murder of eight Ital-
ians here, led local authorities to
believe that some light might be shed
on the 20 killings, which have been
recorded in the Italian colony here
since 1917.
Only five of the victims of the gang,
with which Fontano is said to have
admitted mis- connection, had been
identified by the police today, from
New York reports, but it was believed
that when possible discrepancies in
the names were cleared up, the others
would also be known.
Fontano it was said, is not known
TO the authorities here, but they be-
lieve he may be a "Fontana" who
formerly was around Detroit.
Consider Action.
The Italian squad" of the local
police department, was summoned to
headquarters for conference today
when decision was to be made as to
what action will be taken in Fontano's
case. 1t was thought members of the
squad would perhaps be sent to New
York to identify the prisoner, and. it
was pointed out that the ordinary pro-
cedure would be to seek requisition for
Fontano
Local crimes which Fontano detailed
to the New York police ranged over a
period extending from the latter part
of 1917 to May, this year All of the
victims were shot to death, and in
each instance, the slayer escaped.

Election Holds Interest.
BY DONALD r. BlGes.

The world throughout the year 1920
was passing through the troublesome
period of readjustment and reaction
that began with the close of the World
war. OF all the great powers that had
been involved in the conflict, the Unit
ed States alone remained technically
In a state of war with Germany
through the failure Of the senate to
ratify the peace treaty. For all prac-
teal purposes, however, the United
States was at peace and conditions in
this country were more nearly normal
than in most of the nations of Europe
which had accepted the settlements
agreed upon by the peace conference
at Paris.
Although the great war had ended,
the world was not at peace in 1920.
Territorial disputes and jealousies
growing out of the war resulted in a
large number of minor conflicts.
The Irish problem remained un-
solved and the situation in the Emer-
aid Isle grew more serious as the year
progressed. In the United States, de
spite minor radica! activities and the
uncertainties accompanying the read
1ustment of business and Industrial
conditions, there was continued pros
perity and optimism.
