Death F flirting Is ulla Says
 SI@uIf[h

NEW YORK. July 26.-Uneasy un- l less he is flirting with death, Detec- | tive Sergeant Michael Fiaschetti, head of the Italian squad, is beginning i to find his job slow.
 To keep his solemn oath to avenge his chief, slain years ago by Comor- rists in Italy, Fiaschetti has snuffed out spHttering bombs, slept with mur- lderers, lived in the underworld of two 1 continents disguised as a convict and has rounded up single handed hun dreds of desperate criminals. In recognition of this he has just | been made cavaliere of the Crown of | Italy high honor conferred by the Italian government. | But, better than that, Fiaschetti l today sees his oath to wipe out ter rorist gangs as nearly accomplished. "Cammora and terrorist crimes have fallen off more than 75 per cent in 1 the past two years" he says. Crooks are realizing that crime doesn't pay"
 And it was Fiaschetti's reign of terror that helped bring about this slump.
 Life of Thrills | There have been more thrills in Fiaschetti's life than in any detective story he ever read
 And I sure did gobble them when was boy" the great Italian sleuth says smiling. "They gave me my start.
 My mother wanted me to be a bandmaster. I wanted to become a ! Sherlock Holmes. But when I came | to America I went to work in cot ton mill in North Adams, Mass. 'I became friendly with William J. Dineen. chief of police. One day he showed me circular. There was a price on a certain criminals head. I began looking for him.
 "Snooping around after work, found him. I was only 16 and had some time convincing the chief I was right Finally. he took a sleigh. and we went after him. We caught the fellow"
 Joins New York Force | That was the beginning Fiaschetti joined the New York police, and later he was promoted to the Italian Squad.
 Joe Petrosino, head of the squad, he went on, was one of the greatest detectives that ever lived. When he was murdered in Italy, I swore never to rest until the murderous gangs were broken up.
 50 I went after the Camorra and the Black Hand"
 Hih success is a mater of record
 "The hardest case I ever had" says the detective, was the Akron police murder. Four officers had been killed on the same oeat-all of them shot in the back.
 'T went to Akron disguised as a wealthy laborer contractor who wasn't averse to making little side money -legitimately or otherwise
 ''I soon got on the trail of a man who offered a reward of S150. to any one who killed policeman. His place had been raided and he wanted to get his revenge by exterminatinl the police.
 "The rest was easy. Six men went to their deaths for that crime"
 And Siaschetti received three gol( medals and was promoted to cap taincy.
 "Close calls? They are all in tho game" says Fiaschetti. And I hope to have many more"

Railroad Mashed out

DOUGLAS-Last nights heavy rain washed out about one hundred yards of the Nacozari railway track. On this account it is probable that there will not be any train on the line for perhaps two weeks. A pile driver and crew left this morning to repair the damage, the extend of which is not accurately reported as yet, and when they get the job and report, some more definite announcement as to re- sumption of train service will be made.

Garments of Truth"

Residents of Burbank, California, citizens of the town whose namsake has for many years astounded the world with mongrel vegetables, such as the spineless cactus, the leafless cabbage and the thornless lettuce, un- derwent the rare sensation of astonish ment when Gareth Hughes, star of the Metro release, Garments of Truth" now showing at the Central theatre for tonight only, was given an ovation at the railroad station by two hun dred townspeople of Burbank who didn't live there.
 The townless townspeople were the ten-Score extras engaged by George D. Baker, director of this S-L (Arthur Sawyer-HerbeTt Lubin) picture for Metro, in order that the homecoming scene in the photoplay based on Free man Tilden's story be strictly accord ing to script. Although the maker of the George D. Baker production realized that an announcement of the advent of Gareth Hughes to. the Cali fornia town would bring out many more than two hundred, he feared that a crowd uncontrolled by the pay en- velope might not take his direction exactly. Hence his insistence upon a made-to-order aggregation. and also upon special train and crew.

There is some feeling that the pres
ent administration in France meas
ures the existing public opinion by
what it was four years ago.
A very eminent Frenchman said
that we must not judge the press
nor the opinion of France by the
press and the opinion in Paris. hc
thinks that the provincial newspa-
pers are more influential and he
cited in support TO this the fact that
they had compelled the government
to SO arrange railroad schedules as
to make it more difficult for the
Paris papers to compete with the To-
cal publications in theie own fields.
The point of his argument was the
ruling sentiment in France is more
liberal toward the question Of rep
arations than the government be-
lieves it to be.
There is some importance mani
Tested toward France in European
centers and it seems - havd spread
to America. 1t grows out of two
things, first, the belief that tic pres
ent attitude of France toward rep
arations is too unbending, and sec

ond, that too much of of the pro-
ceeds of the tcn-billion-dollar-b bond
sale was not used for the express
purpose OF repairing devastated ter
ritory. 1t should in all fairness be
stated that the PREPARATION terms did
not represent the amount that was
i'm the French mind ut the time Of
the peace conference. The respon-
sibility for this is not upon France,
nor upon America either for that
matter, But that will be dealt with
later.
With respect to the alleged mis-
use of moneys derived from the re-
cent sale Of bonds, the truth is that
many millions of dollars were ex-
pended for pensions. 1t is also true
that taxation is not being imposed
in France as in the other Allied
countries in support of existing bur
dens.
The item of pensions does not be-
long in reparations. 1t was viola
ton of the fourteen points on which
the armistice agreement rested. This
is the strongest point that has been
against the treaty. The charge of
broken faith remains. 1t is gen.
orally admitted now that it was q
mistake both from the standpoint
OF ethics and economies. I found
70 one who attempted to defend it.
The French are great newspaper
readers. Seemingly nine of ten per-
sons yoH meet have newspaper.
You rarely see a Frenchman either
in the exclusive or poular restau-
rants, or partaking of his breakfast
rolls and coffe on the sidewalk in
front of an eating place, who is not
reading his paper. Later in the day
he will sip a glass of wine or glass
of beer for an hour while he follow!

FRANCE NEEDS
GERMAN CASH

Continued from Page Onc.)
The peasants are the security Of
France. They are sober-thinking,
industrious and frugal. the lures of
the industrial centers do not take
them from the soil in such relative
numbers as in America. Their view
point at the beginning o. the sum
mer in the matter of reparatiOns was
that after the War oi 1870, they
raised one billion dollars in two
years time. That amount is eqa va
lent to about eight billion dollars
now. They ask why it is that Ger
man in four years has paid only
one and one-half billion dollars,
which reduced to the relative values
of fifty years ago would be only two,
hundred million approximately.
Obviously they proceed from d
false premise. The Franco-Prussian
war lasted but short time, and it
left no disastrous effect on the eco
nomic structure Of the world. The
condition of France at that time was
quite different from that of Ger
many now. At the same time they
remind you that since the war end
ed, the people Of France met the call
of the government and exchanged
! ten billions of dollars in cash for
their national bonds of an equal
! amount. p ~ w
The success of this enterprise,
wl5ich' was quite astonishing by the
way to bankers, was due in some
measure to the stateemnt of the gov
eminent that the bonds would be
redeemed with money received from
j Germany. This recent debt added
to the cost of the war creates q
: burden under which the country is
staggering.
If Preparations come to naught,
and the economic collapse of Ger
many would mean that very thing,
then France would face one of the
darkest hours OF. her history. When
public opinion assumed the form Of
bitter revenge, the wish was more or
less prevalent that Germany be
crushed. The SOLDERING reflection has
come,
The mass thought in FRANCE now
is that the preservation Of Germany
lis essential to France. The world
wide psychology of 1918 and 1919
was different from what it is now.

TOM LAWSON LOSES TO WALL STREET ENEMIES

the expressed policy of his favorite
journalist. The politics of the day
claim his first interest.
a few of the French journalists
are distinguished by virtue of great
ability and conscientious regard of
the highest ethics of the profession.
Clemenccau has been more or less of
popular idol, but his enemies are
bitter and powerful. They were able
by combination to defeat his election
in the chamber of deputies meeting
at Versailles.
When we visited this historic pal
ace, we heard an earnest but good
natured argument going on between
a Frenchman and an American. The
latter insisted that the form of
French government was not based
upon the essentials of pure democ-
racy, and cited in support Of his
theory the method of choosing a
president by legislative machinery,
rather than by direct vote. He call
ed attention also to the system un-
der which the central. government
appoints projects of the provinces or
departments. He summed up his ar
gument with the observation that
there was a serious trespass on the
principle of local autonomy.
The response of the Frenchman
was found in these words: That
may be true, but our people would
bitterly resent-in fact would not
tolerate govenmental interference
with right which we deem to be per-
sopal, Our government may not be

was retained by the author.
Mover Tired Writing.
From that time on there was Il
continuous out-pouring Of magazine
articles, poems, political opinions and
above all-his letters and adver-
tisemcnts in the newspapers.
After several bitter feuds on the
stock exchange, Lawson began his
famous series of undertaking ar
ticles, "Frenzicd Finance" He was
the first to apply the craze of muct-
raking to the stock exchange. These
articles appeared in Everybody's
Magazine in 1904 and made the
author national figure with their
savage personal attack on prominent
members of the New York and Bos-
ton stock exchanges.
These were followed by Lawsons
full-length novel Friday the Thin
teenth," a romance of State Street
built around that 1904 panic.
Lawson has gone into seclusion
ing among the general public as a
result of these articles in which he
appeared as a lone warrior battling
single-handed against the might OF
Wall Street.
This prestige made possible some
of his greatest coups. A newspaper
ad that he would put certain low
stock Eat SO in 60 days" brought a
flood of money from small investors
to his support. The battle would be
advertised. Daily, as the stock crept
up, Lawson would issue bulletins in
/ the newspaper. Finally, with the
city in frenzy of excitement, the
stock would cross 60 and the editors
would publish the story with big
headlines.
Won Campaign by Gameness.
Lawson, since the war, had not
been active in the market. His latest
| plunge into the spotlight was his
| political venture when he blocked
4 Secretary OF War Weeks from re-
| election to the U. S. Senate and
made possible the election of Sen
ator David /. Walsh.
This political victory was won by
a broken arm. Weeks, former Bo3-
ton fnancier of the firm of Horn
blower and Weeks, and Lawson had
little love for one another. Weeks
reelection to the U. S. Senate seem
ed assured. Then Lawson entered
the fight as an independent Republi-
can. On a, whirlwind speaking tour
the Lawso nautomobile was wrecked
