Of Savage Deceit Of Guest in Home
Of Fladelfio Todoro. 5s:

A premeditated and cold-blooded murder in Rock
Island of last Thursday night viewed by the police as
unquestionaby the work Of the Black Hand, came to
light Monday night, in the finding of the body Of
Fiadefio Todoro the skull and face cleaved in many
places, and lying in pool of blood in room at 2124a
Fourth avenue
An overcoat and bedclothing were found cover
ing the gruesome remains and new blood-smeared
hatchet the instrument by which the murder had been
committed, was found lying near the body.
The police are convinced that the murderer was an
emissary sent to carry out penalty of death exacted
upon Todoro as the result of some act of HIS possibly
recently, but more probably one of several years
standing. Perhaps it leads back to sunny Italy, in
vendetta which is now seen in just another trails

here today of the Illinois Manufac-

There are many encouraging in

former chairman of the shipping
board. today told the annual meet
ing OF the Illinois Manufacturers
association, He opposed govern
ment ownership of the feet. saying
it would result in inefiiciency and
waste, adding:
Our government-owned feet
should be sold as soon as possible
to private interests at reasonable
prices, SO that owners can COM
pete with foreign ships"
Mr.. Hurley opposed the proposal
that congress grant ship subsidy
to private owners by having the
government guarantee interest on
Investments, saying:
This would eliminate private in
itiative and effort, which would
spell failure" ...4.
Mr.. Hurley said "the American
objective for the present should be
to operate on its own trade routes
"a feet sufficiently large to carry
one-half the tonnage Of those
trades" He estimated that the ca
pacity of such a feet would be about
10 ,000, 900 dead weight tons.

building" was presented as the
only alternative to the building by
the United States Of navy power
full enough to command the re-
spect and fear of the world by
Secretary Daniels in testimony to-
day before the house naval affairs
committee.
In presenting his views to the
committee, Mr.. Daniels outlined
the advice which he would give to
President-elect Harding should he
be asked for counsel ON naval mat
tefs. Thts 2dTice took ths, form o1
d suggestion that Mf. Harding i'm
mediately upon his Inauguration
invite the nations OF the world te
meet with the representatives of the
United States in a disarmament
conference.
Authority for such action was
given by the naval appropriation

ing that If President Wilson
Should cali such conference, II
would be impossible for him te
make recommendations before his
