CHURCH, ABOUT TO DIE, BREAKS LONG SILENCE Says Father and Mother" Few Hours Before Time
 of Execution

Chicago, March 3.-After lying on his jail cot for forty days without opening his eyes or uttering a word, Harvey Church today broke his sl-s lence, five hours before he was sched- llled to be hanged for the brutal mur- der of Bernard Daugherty and Carl Ausmus, automobile salesmen.
 A plea from his mother caused Church to break his silence, Your fathe, and mother are. here Harvey, Warden Westbrook told the convicted man. Your mother begs you to talk to her--you have only five more hours to live. Will you talk to them ?"
 The youthful murderer, whose twitching eyelids have been the only outward sign of life during his self imposed period of silence and hunger strike, which caused the authorities to resort to forciby feeding him, turned over on one side and mumbled
 What did you say?" asked the warden, leaning over the prisoner. "Father and mother?" came back in a low but plainly understood words, During the visit of his parents Church gave no heed to them. His mother, al most too weak. was assisted to his bedside but, he paid no heed to her pleas that he speak to her.
 The hanging is set for 4 D. n1
 Governor Small refused to interfere with the, execution yesterday, but Churchs attorneys still maintained for nlo hn1r
 Humanitarian grounds would form the basis for writ of habeas corpus, Rennison r. BarteH, one of Church S attorneys, said he would seek in criminal court today. The third and last hope was for the other Attorney, Frank J. Tyrell, to obtain stay through plea that the execution was not carried out within the 25 day limit after sentence.
 Late last night Church moved slightly for the first time in many days. The movement, turning slowly from his right to the left side, follow . cd visit of his sister in which she pleaded with her brother to open his eyes and recognize her. and make a farewell statement for his aged par ents. Doctors watched Church in tently as his sister knelt beside him, embraced and kissed him, for some additional evidence that he was sham ming.
 His slow and even breathing and steady pulse beat was unchanged, however, and the doctors reiterated that he had succeeded in committing mental suicide.
 Church's crime was the murder or Bernard J Daugherty and Carl Aus mus automobile salesmen, from who he had indicated he intended to pur- chase high powered motor car. The men were lured to the Church home, taken singly to the basement, hand cuffed and beaten to death with q baseball bat. Daugherty's body was thrown into Des Plains river and Ausmus, while yet alive, was buried in the Church garage, his neck being broken, according to Church's confess sion, when he stamped on the bound body to force # into a shallow hole, hurriedly scooped out.

While There Is No Law To Compel Compliance Officials Feel That Fii- nancial Men Will Agree
Responsibility for Furnish ing Information Desired Is Put Up Squarely to Banking Interests.

Washington, March 3.--Notice was issued today by the state department that the government expects Ameri- can bankers to advise it fully of the details of foreign loans with other governments or municipalities abroad, before negotiations of such loans are concluded.
 The department, in it's notice, which was in the nature of warning, said that the desirability of cooperation in such loans, which was explained to the banking interests at conference last summer between President Hard ing and certain members of the cab inet and representative American in- vestment bankers, did not seem suf- ficiently well understood in banking and investment circles.
 '"rhe Notation of foreign bond is- sues in the American market" the state department said, lis assuming an increasing importance and on &C., count of the bearing of such opera tions upon the proper conduct of E- fairs, it is hoped that American con- cerns that contemplate making for eign loans will inform the department Of state department in due time of the essential facts and of subsequent de- velopments of importance.
 Responsibility for furnishing the in6ormaton desired was put squarely ue to the bankers by the department, and it was said they were fully com potent to determine what information should be supplied, and when 1t should be furnished.
 No Law Involved.
 Officials explained that while there Is no law compelling bankers to fur irish such advance information to the government, the department believed that in view of the possible national interests involved it should have. the opportunity of saying to the under writers concerned, should it appear advisable, to do so that there is or is not objection to any particular issue v
