ITALY AWAITS
u. S. REPLY

ROME, Feb. 1.-THE foreign office is
nnxiously awaiting a reply from Wash
ingtOn to the invitation to participate in
the international economic conference at
Genoa. While no communication has
been received, officials declared today
they expected to hear from the American
State apartment within forty-eight
hours.
Italian officials attach no credence to
reports from Paris that Myron T. Her.
rick, the American ambassador to France
and George Harvey. American ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, may be appointed
observers at the meeting to recall the
discussions back to Washington. Italy
expects that America will either partici-
pate actively in the meeting or else re.
frain from representation entirely.
Italys political situation makes it
doubly difficult for her to deal with
conference matters. Premier BOnomi has
consented to retain office with his old
cabinet. but next Thursday he must face
the chamber of deputies on the ques
tion of general policy. If the chamber
votes lack of confidence in the Bonomi
ministry it will be Withdrawn, which
will leave Italy without a government
once again.
With Premier Bonomi and his col
leagues out Of pewer Italy would lack
the necessary government machinery to
carry on negotiations relative to the con
ference. Under officials in the foreign
office are handling details and minor
matters regarding the conference, but
they have not the authority to say
whether or not the opening shall be
postponed.

JUDGE MAKES
NEW RULING

When Special Judge George G. Rinier
.n city court today ruled for the defend
ant in q motion to suppress evidence in
a blind tiger case he opened a new legal
avenue for escape for alleged bootleggers.
Blind tiger charges against Abe Rob
erts. 1043 Elm street, were dismissed by
Judge Riuier, when he announced that
the court would rule in favor of the mo-
ton filed by Ira Holmes attorney for
Roberts. The police, according to evil
deuce heard in court, some days ago
went 10 the Roberts home at 1913 Elm
street, Jan. II armed with d search war
rant Of the premises of a man named
Robert NcGuff. The officers searched the
place and found half a quart Of white
mule whisky Roberts claimed the liquor
and was arrested. McGuh denied owner
ship Of the liquor and was not arrested.
The court held that inasmuch as the
search warrant was not made out in Rob
erts' name. the police had no right to
Introduce liquor found in the raid as evil
deuce Prosecutor J. Burdette Little
argued that the police were there legally
and had right to conhscate any liquor
found and arrest any person claiming
ownership Of the liquor.

"As It is long established custom to

efficient service we believe that Senator
Harry s. New has well earned this sup
port from the Republican party OF In
diana.
His record is entirely consistent and
in full accord with the record of his

he should not receive the support Of all
loyal Republicans.
He is in position to be of greater serv-
