Trade is composed of the elderly
men and is the real governing body.
There is complete harmony between
the two, Mr.. Hanson pointed out
that the city has two Boards of
Trade to be Alvied. A short discus
sion was held on the matter and
the Lions will Join in with the other
organizations and attempt to or
Sanize a real live wire organization
here.
A committee consisting of Thomas
Fine and Stephen Somogyi was ap-
pointed to arrange for clambake to
be held in near future. The bake will
surpass all expectations, it has been
announced, and the members will
be invited to bring along their
friends. Assemblyman Harold Hoff-
man and several Lions from Pitts
burgh were present at today's re-
past. James A. Compton is the

SLAYER
Of GANGSTER
Louis Cohen, Who Slew "Kid
Dropper," Indicted Today
for Murder

NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-Louis
Cohen, Little Augie" gangster, who
slew Jack Kaplan. alias kid Drop
per" notorious gang chieftain, in
front of Essex market court Tues
day, was indicted for first degree
murder today, little more than an
hour after the dropper had been
buried with ceremonies watched
over by heavy police guard, de-
tailed to prevent an outbreak OF
gang warfare
Conveyed by a squad of motorcy-
Gle policemen cortege Travelled at top
speed to the cemetery arriving with
out incident.
The Dropper was inferred, after
brief services, in a grave in a far
corner of the cemetery.
Seven men believed to be
members of a rival gang, alighted
from an automobile today in front
of the Harlem funeral parlor where
services for kid Dropper," alias
Jack Kaplan, slain gangster. were
being held, and paraded the side
walk. They were arrested but were
found to be unarmed.
The prisoners were detained at the
police station until the conclusion of
/ the services.
Activity of the police in guarding
the body of their late enemy was
the principal feature of the drop
lper's funeral. Police lines were
drawn in 120th street, before the
chapel from which the brief services
We're held, and scores of plain
clothesmen circulated through the
lcrowd of thousands. alert for the
slightest suspicious movement.
Wild rumors of all sorts circulated
among them a persistent report that
the dropper's enemies planned to
seize the body as it left the chapel
for Mount Hebron cemetery in East
New York, where it was to be in
TERED.
Only four persons, in addition to
the police guard, were permitted to
enter the chapel. They were the
gangster's widow. his sister, and two
brothers. A third brother was un-
able to attend because he was jail
ed yesterday.
No automobiles were allowed to
park in the street before the funeral
chapel. Scores of cars. loaded with
hardfaced men lined nearby streets.
Their presence gave added strength
10 the reports tnaI trouble was brew
ing in the trip from chapel to ceme-
terry. Detectives frisked the occu-
pants of many of these cars, but. so
far as could be learned, found no
weapons and made no arrests.
The dropper, it was reported, was
given an orthodox Jewish funeral,
with the burning of candles, the
| placing of food and the chanting OF
prayers for the dead. In sharp con-
trast to the rough work-a-day ap-
parel which he had worn in life,
the body was attired in conventional
black.
The widow, who entered the cha
pei on the arm of one of the drop
per's brothers, wore no mourning
She was clad in a blue suit, with
white shirt-waist. She sobbed Bit
terly and pleaded with those about
her to guard the body of her hus-
band against deseeration by his foes.
1t was largely in response to her
fears that attendance at the funer-
al was limited to the dropper's four
| closest relatives.

ASK DISMISSAL
OF INDICTMENT
Judge Reserves Decision
in Ward Murder Case Re-
opened at White Plains

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Aug. 80
Supreme Court Justice Wagner to-
day reserveN decision on a motion
to dismiss the first degree murder
indictment returned against Walter
S. Ward. Justice Wagner added
that he did not believe there was
time to go through all the evidence
and render a decision before Sep
tember 4, the date set for the trial
The motion for dismissal was
made by attorneys for Ward when
court convened this morning. The
Indictment was returned against
Ward July 26, by the extraordinary
grand jury impanelled by order OF
Governor Smith to re-investigate
the staying of Clarence Peters of
Haverhill, Mass, an eX-marine.
Mr.. Rabenold then referred to the
testimony of William Mundia,
chauffeur, who asserted that Ward
had admitted to him having killed
Peters and also had threatened to
kill him. Mundia, friend of the
slain man, testified that he had met
Ward in a Greenwich Village cafe.
OF Mundia. Mr.. Rabenold said:
"Then we have William Mundia,
an habitual criminal, who while ad-
Knitting some of his record, forgot
some of his crimes. The attorney
general took pains when Mundla
was testifying before the extraordl-
nary grand jury, to get him back on
the track when he deviated from the
story which he had told the attorney
general previously"
Walter Ward remained in Jail dur
ing the argument, but his brother,
Ralph, was in court.
Special Deputy Attorney General
O'Neill interposed a preliminary OBJ
lection on the ground that the mo-
tion was not predicted on the grand
Jury minutes, but this assertion was
denied by former State Senator ELL
wood M. Rabenold5 defense counsel,
who was permitted to proceed with
his plea.
Mr.. Rabenold asserted that today's
motion appeared to have been pre-
Judged in certain newspapers and
quoted from an editorial which as
serted that any judge "usurping" the
power to dismiss the Indictment
should be impeached. Justice Wag-
ner smiled at this point.
In his plea Mr.. Rabenold referred
to the latest probe as ''the attorney
general on a joy-ride of an investi-
CATION" and then launched upon
criticism of witnesses.
'The whole thing" he asserted,
shows that the attorney general
was looking for what was not. He
was a blind nan hunting in the dark
for black hat that wasn't there"
Some witnesses, Mr.. Rabenold de-
clared were summoned ''for the sole
nurnose of p-e1rdicing this defend
ant and his family before the grand
jury

TRENTON, Aug. SO:-That the
automobile is a handy agent of the
grim reaper, death, was made evil
dent today when Motor Vehicle
Commissioner William L. Dill an
nounced that from January 1 last to
August l, there have been a total of
355 fatalities in New Jersey from
this source. Compared with the
same period of year ago this is 11S
more deaths directly the result of
motor vehicle traffic.
Out of the total number of deaths
Mr.. Dill said it was distressing to
state that ninety-seven were children
under fifteen years of age who had
become the innocent victims of this
auto menace.
The motor vehicle commissioner
obtained his figures from David
South, register of vital statistics in
the State Department of Health.
They show that of the 355 persons
killed by automobiles, Is were nom
residents. OF the New Jersey resi-
dents who lost their lives "a were
killed at grade crossings, as the
result of collisions of autos and
street cars. A total of 235 were
pedestrians and 4S more resulted
from collisions with trees, poles and
overturning of machines due to col
lisions with horse-drawn vehicles,
bicycles and other objects. Various
automobile mishaps caused the
deaths of eight more persons and
four motorcycle drivers lost their
lives due to reckless operation OF
their machines.
1T is hoped that the publication
of these figures will arouse the mo-
toring public to the necessity of ex-
ercising greater care in the operation
forcibly the danger which looms in
the path of vehicles of the motor
propelled type which are operated
in violation of our laws" declared
Commissioner. Dill today. Zone of
the distressing facts in connection
with the great toll of fatalities of the
state is that ninety-seven children
under the age of fifteen years have
been the innocent victims of this
great increasing menace.
police officials of the more popu-
lar centers should confer at once
with the various departments of edu-
cation for the purpose of devising
ways and means to keep children off
the street, especially in the vicinity
of public schools and parents should
likewise take caution that their re-
sponsibility in exercising parental
restraint cannot be avoided

Ieague of Nations May Act

PARIS, Aug. 80 CBy The Associat-
ed Press) The Inter-Allied tCoun-
ell of Ambassadors today decided to
send a telegram to the Greek govern
ment on behalf of the French, Eng
lish and italian governments, jointly
protesting, with the energy that the
gravity of the circumstances war
rant, against the outrage of which
the Italian mission of the Commits
sion for Delimitation of the Alban-
ian Frontier has been the victim"
The telegram invites the Greek
government to institute an imme-
diate investigation.
1t is expected that the action Of
the ambassadors council may be
followed by some move in the coun-
Gil of the League of Nations now in
session at Geneva. Both Greece and
Italy are members of the league.
1t is held by students of the
league here that the council has
power to take cognizance of the stu
alton and make immediate represen-
tations to Italy in view of her ulti-
matum, even though no appeal has
been made by Greece for league in
tervention.
The drastic character of the ulti-
matum caused considerable comment
in diplomatic circles this morning,
and the hope was expressed that
Italy would be satisfied to suspend
her demand for satisfaction until an
inquiry could be made.

FRENCH AND BRITISH STILL
PAR APART ON REP ARATIONS

PARIS. Aug. 3O.-The chances OF
an early meeting of the French and
British premiers for the purpose of
talking over the reparation situation
appear to be diminishing. The
French hold that the initiative for
the interview should come from
Prime Minister Baldwin, since the
British statesman is at present in
France for a brief vacation, but thut
far he has given no sign of a desire
for a conference.
It is pointed out in official circles
that France has not been over eager
for a reparation discussion and that
the present situation arose through
British initiative Consequently, un-
til the British government is ready
to make another move. France and
Belgium can only continue their
pressure on Germany in the Ruhr
where, in French opinion, the solu-
ton Of the reparations problem
really lies.
