HARD FIGHTING
IN F|UME CRISIS
Signor Caste|Ii is Dispatched
to Investigate Situation
and Advise Action

ROME March 4 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-A council of Minis
ters today discussed at length the
crisis at Fiume which has greatly
complicated the already difficult sit
uation confronting the new cabinet.
Signor Castelli. who already has rep
resented the government at Fiume,
was dispatched there Immediately to
investigate the situation and advise
the best means to adopt.
The attitude of President Vanella
who has been forced to hand over
the government. to the national
committee of defense does not ap-
pear quite clear here. Shortly after
he assumed power in October last
he came to Rome and obtained
loan of 100000 Tyre. lie then
expressed great belief in the
Italian aspirations in Fiume.
Details of yesterdays fighting are
now becoming available here. Forces
of Fascist. legionaires and Pepubli-
cans have been in possession of the
city. They captured the post and
telegraph ard before their advance
the body of police organized by
Vanella retired to the government
palace The government forces
were supplied with plenty of arms
and ammunition and prepared for
resistance.
Their first line of defense was
a line enclosing the small park in
which the palace stands. They were
soon obliged to retire inside the
building. however, as their posts
behind the walls of the park were
dominated by the enemy's fire from
windows and roofs of surrounding
houses. Vanellas forces then
placed machine guns on the roof of
the palace which for some time
checked the progress of their assail-
ants. Deputy Giunta. leader of the
Fascistis then captured an armored
rnotorboat assigned to the Italian
navy in the neighboring bay of Alb
baZia and with it's guns opened hre
against the palace About thirty
IS millimeter shells were thrown IN
to the building doing considerable
damage.
Italian torpedo boats stationed IN
Fiume harbor captured the motor
boat, but the latter again was selzec
by the Fascistis who resumed their
commandment. Unable to resist ionS-
er the defenders of the palace hoist
ed a white flag and sent on envoy
tc the Fascist headquarters to ne
gotiate surrender.
The report that Vanella fled from
the city is denied According TO
latest reports he was still inside tne
ralace in the same room Gabrlele
u'Annunzio was slightly wounded by
the first of the troops sent against
him in 1920.

HEAR NAULTY
Tells of Problems in ConneC :
ton With Obtaining Com
pensation for Disabled

DIR. Charles w Naulty, of this city,
who is United States public health
department physical examiner for
this district, addressed the American
Legion meeting here last night on
the problems in connection with OBJ
tanning compensat ton for wounded
or otherwise disabled ex-service men.
The facts were presented in some-
what humorous vein but the humor
merely served to emphasize the uy-
derlying tragedy of the situation.
While the government is undoubted-
ly doing much in the way of COM
pensation for wounded veterans it is
al9o true that large numbers of de-
serving men are not receiving aid by
reason of conditions not of their own
making.
Or. Eaulty deplored the mathema-
teal methods employed by the vet
erans' bureau in determining degrees
OF disability ara hatly stated that
he hadn't the slightest idea how the
bureau arrived at its conclusions re-
garding claims submitted. He cited
cases where men who deserved COM
pensa Ton were urable to get it be-
cause their particular troubles were
not listed on what he termed the
disease chart" and also because
their hospital records had been lost
in the Washington shuttle.
Conditions among MiddleSex
county service men are not as bad
as they are painted, DIR. Naulty said.
He conceded that unemployment
was serious problem but he had
Particular reference to wounded
men. He informed the meeting that
there were only a few cases of total
disability, little insanity. and only a.
few gas and wound cases. Perhaps
the greatest obstacle for men seek
ing compensation lies in the diff
Guilty of proving their claims, ac-
cording to DR.. Naulty. Due to the
fact that many outfits were scatter
ed over the country upon demobili-
zation the required affidavits are ex-
tremely hard to procure and claims
submitted without them are not
considered. DIR. Naulty intimated
that before efficient aid could be
given the government would have TO
make radical slash in department
al overlapping and red tape.
Following his talk DIR. Naulty was
commended by the post com mmander
and members for the excellent work
he has done here and assured that
he was not the object of Grabbing"
or dissatisfaction among the local
veterans
As chairman of the nominating
committee Herbert Rankin made

Bill Provides Appropriation of
$4,000, 900 to Start the
Work at Once
by GEORGE III. MANNING
(WaShingtOn Correspondent for the
Perth Amboy Evening News)

WASHINGTON, March 4:-The
House Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee yesterday reported to the House
tho bill authorizing the appropria-
ton of $10,400,000 for the establish
ment of a deep sea channel thirty
feet deep and 400 feet wide through
Raritan bay. Arthur Kill and Kill
Won Kull between New Jersey and
Staten Island. These waterways are
known as the New York and New
Jersey channels into lower New
York bay.
The bill provides that $S,000,O00
shall be appropria ted this year to
commence the work. No mention is
made Of the proposed improvement
OF the Hackersack river, Newark
Bay and the channel out of upper
New York harbor, owing to the fact
that the committee Is awaiting the
report CT the army engineers expect
ed in two or three weeks containing
recommendation as to the scope and
COS. or the projected Improvement.
Congressman Radcliffe, of Pater-
son, member Of the committee, sue
cecded in having the Rivers and Har-
bors lCommi.teo adopt a resolution
providing that as soon as the COM
mittee receives the report of the
engineers It will report to the House
all amendment TO this bill provid-
ing for undertaking the Improvement
of Newark Bay.
To Make Survey
The bill also directs the army en-
gineers, to make survey of the Hud-
son river channel along the water
front OF Weehawken and Edgewater
with view to providing depth OF
forty feet or such lesser depths as
may be necessary to serve the inter-
ests Of ravigf,tien.
This till. ,unIcr the newly adopted
buGget system. orly makes authorl-
cations and if it passes it will then
be necessary for the approprla-
tior committee to report out an ap-
preparation bill to supply the money
and for congress to pass it. The
authorization is the important ac-
tioI.. however, and the appropriation
of the me ney is more or less a matter
OF certainty that follows the author

MYSTERY CASE
FOR METUCHEN
Involves Man, Woman and
Auto That Turned Turtle
Near Borough

METUCHEN, March 4:-The
new mystery to discuss. The case
automobile that turned turtle on
Plainfeld avenue Thursday night.
The machine skidded into the ditch
at the side of the road and was
overturned. Windshield and super
structure of the machine were de-
molished but the occupants of the
car escaped injury.
Then came the mysterious part.
The name on the drivers license
submitted to the police when they
began their investigation bore the
name of Rene Carlton, of Matawan,
although before producing the card
the man gave the name of Jack
Randall, of two separate addresses,
the police claim. The first police
man who questioned Carlton, or
Randall, got the Randall name in
answer to his question. and the ad-
dress as Plain avenue, Newark. Up
on the arrival of Chief Hutchinson,
however, renewed questioning
brought 322 Pavonia avenue. Jersey
City, as the address.
The next move of the police was
to ask for the license cards. Carl
ton, or Randall, hesitated for a
moment and then produced his
drivers license. carefully holding a
finger over the name. The police
insisted upon examining the card
and found the name of Rene Carl
ton, of Matawan.
The name of the woman in the
case" was not taken by the police
and no reason was discovered why
Carlton Randall should be so apX-
ious to keep his identity secret. The
couple were allowed to depait in
peace after the wrecked machine
had been towed to a garage and the
police had finished their investiga-
ton.
