DeLaney's assertion was made during a heated hearing held in the City court room, while Saul Grill, a Federal agents was undergoing a rigid cross-examination at the hands of the former prosecuting attorney.
 While Delaney was questioning Grill, several Federal agents who are involved as witnesses in the affair, let their mirth over some trivial matter get the better of them and started to laugh.
 q don't want to cr1tfcise the con- Delaney, ''but I don't fntende to be laughed at by these men,"
 ''They must be quiet" announced Commissioner Lavery.
 This rebuke served to quiet the merriment among the witnesses, and MT. Delaney then went over to one of the men and said something to him in an undertone. There was no more laughing.
 Just before the court recessed at o'clock man called Captain Charlie" l" who is thought to be Captain Charles Scantillo, of the rum-running sloop "Jennie T,'' was named in con nection with William J. O'Brien, of Stamford.

 Saul, when his address was demand ed by Delaney at the opening of the hearing before United States Attorney Hugh J.

C., as his home.
 He was a hard witness for the court. for counsel on both sides and for court stenographers, who were endeavoring to take his testimony in City court, where the case was transferred because of the large num- Der of witness and attorneys involy ed He was hard to understand, per- sisted in answering questions on which objections had been raised, and before the court had ruled; and al- cutt to refrain from saying they" or I've" or "us"; had to be told re- peatedly to designate by names.

Mayor Auerts Fractional Strife Among Aldermen

Public Charities, which is equivalent to the control of Supt. Angus P. Thorne. Three other methods of handling it were suggested.
 That it should be controlled and operated by the Fire Department.
 That it should be operated by a committee of the Board of Aldermen.
 That it should be operated by Geo. NJ. Cough1fn, the director of public works.
 The latter is the disposition most likely to be made of the enterprise the majority opinion being that the garage has little to do with public charities. and that it properly be- longs to public works.

Rumors were circulated last night that a new pope has been elected but it was asserted that out of deference for merica, the announcement would be deferred until after the arrival of Cardinal OfConne1l of Boston, this morning.
 Cardinals with whom the Assoctat-
 ed Press spoke before the conclave began unanimously expressed desire that an American member of the cardinalate should reach the vatican in time to participate in the solemn ity.4 This they said arose partly from the wish that the United States should be represented and also from a de- sire to compensate Cardinal OConneIl personally for his disappointment in 1914 when he reached Rome few hours after Pope Benedict was elect ed.
 Prelates and dignitaries of the Church were openly discussing last night a report that Cardinal O'Con- nell. before leaving America, had cabied his desire (some went even so far as to say an ult1matum) that America be represented in the con clave It was said there were some financial Smatters to be arranged ana that Cardinal O'Conne1l bore mess age to the sacred college, delivery ana discussion of which might necess1tate postponement of the election an uouncement.

worlds youngest political leaders
todAy . conferring here with King
Victor Emmanuel on the formation
Of . new Italian cabinet in which
he win act as premier and besides

thfee separate portfolios. /.
He IL Benito Muss0lini. 3S-be-
fore the war q leader Of Italian
Socialists and now head Of the
most bitter anti-radical body In the
world, the Fascist.
MussolinPs POLITICAL career
started when he fought his way to
the Leadership Of the Italian So
cialist party. He became editor Of
their newspaper organ "Avanti. :
That was Immediately before the
outbreak Of the World war in 1914.
When the war came German So
cialists voted as bloc to support
the fatherland in its military al
ventures. When Italy entered the
lists on the side of the allies. Mus
solini wished his followers to give
the same support to Italy.
Broke With Socialists.
The Italian Socialists refused.
Then Mussolini broke with them.
He enlisted In the army.
The ex-Socialist leader cama
back from the front after the armi-
stice covered with wounds and
medals and bearing in his heart a
bitter hatred for the Italian rad
icals who had failed their country
in its time of need
He found Italian industrial and
economic life upset. Unemployment
was rife and Italy's great economic
safety valve-emigration to the
United States-had been cut of.
These conditions had prepared 4
fertile spawning grown for boil
shevist propaganda. Agitators
many Of them inspired by funds
sent from abroad, were at work il
all Of Italy's industrial centers and
we're gaining many converts.
Then the germ of the Fascist
organization was born in Musso-
lini's mind. He began banding to-
gether his former army comrades
in political groups, sworn to op
pose the red flag both at the voting
booths and through direct action
with sticks, stones or rifles.
BY the beginning of this veal
Mussolini had organized 100000
young men, all ready to do his bid
ding.
In answer the political extrem
lists called a general strike. Mus
solini defeated the strike by put
ting his 100000 followers into the
jobs the strikers had quit
This intensified the bitterness he

Youth Steps Into Breach.
When premier after premier
failed to establish a cabinet that
could last, Mussolini came forward
and now will try to stand where
older and better trained political

Mussolini is the son of an iron
worker. But his is versed in music,
artSand literature and speaks sew
eral languages.
He has been school teacher, edi-
tor" writer of stories, laborer.

Instant
Oats
Cooks to perfection in
3 to S minutes

Now there's a new reason for
insisting on Quaker Oats. Our
experts have perfected a quick
cooking Quaker which cooks in
3 to 5 minutes. So it means an
oat dish almost ready to serve.
1t has our super-favor. All
Quaker Oats are faxed from
queen grains only. We get but
ten pounds from a bushel.
But in Instont Quaker the oats
are cut before taking. They are
rolled very thin and partly cooked.
So the fakes are smaller and
thinner-that is all. And those
small thin fakes cook quickly.
Your grocer has both styles.
Both offer incompatible favor.
Instant offers the quickest-cook-
ing oats in the world. Say which
you want.

making a determined effort to slim
ulste the deep - fishing industry
Of the west coast. and 1t the same
time to increase the national con-
sumption OF fish throughout the
country. The state and local an
thorities are helping and encour-
aging fishermen in the purchasing
Of new boats and fishing tackle, and
they are constructing up-to-date

Of fishermen by the middlemen.
The latter are taking large profits
the majority of which should go

An interesting feature OF this
