FASCIST LEADER SHOT TO DEATH
 BY CARPENTER
Rome Stirred By Killing To Avenge Death Of
 MatteOtti

ROME, Sept. 12-With Italian political circles profoundly stirred by q new assassination, police are inves- tigating every detail of the killing of Armando Casalini, general secretary of the Fascist Syndical corporations, who was shot and killed by a carpen- ter named Corvi.
 After the crime friends of Corvi, who is under arr, t, testified that he had frequently sait he intended to avenge the staying of Deputy Matte otti, social leader, by killing some prom inent fascist.
 The official version of the assassina- ton states that Corvi is a regular member of the communist party. Early reports described him as a member of the Republican party. | is believed that his motive in staying the fascist leader was one of personal vengance, and police declare that the crime has no political aspects.
 Shot At Close Range
 Casalini was assassinated Friday under dramatic circumstances. He was riding on a street car with his 14- year-old daughter whe-- COrvi advanced and fired on him at close range. The girl struggled to protect her father, throwing herself before him. Coryi con- tinued to fire amid the panic, dis charging four revolver shots in all.
 Casalini collapsed and Corvi leaped from the car, firing as he fled. Guards pursued and cornered him, and the carpenter submitted quietly.
 "Matteotti is avenged '" he cried as the police closed in on him. Casalini was taken to a Roman hos pital where he died Before his death his wife and three daughters hurried to his bedside.
 Brothers In Ideals"
 Police, who searched Corvi, say that several pictures of Matteotti were found on the assassin. Corvi's only explanation of his crime is that he and Matteotti were brothers in idt lls."
 He declares that his motives were entirely personal, and denies that he acted for any organization in commit ting the crime.
 :. Ali police and carabinieri were called 0i after the murder, and Premier MussOlini summoned q meeting of the cabinet to inform it's members of the outrage The cabinet discussed meas ures to avoid reprisals by the fascisti and to maintain public order in view of the excitement the affair has created, A resolution of condolence was sent to Casalini's widow.

on getting out of this ice trap. The harbor was surrounded with a wall of granite rocks. The radiation from these rocks had thawed narrow belt around the edge. We sought to reach this open strip, but the stern anchor on the starboard quarter slowed out far under the five foot ice sheath.
 It was necessary to cut an approach to the spot, directly above and warp the ship to this position before raising the anchor. This was finally accom- plished and we reached open water but were 4hrown on the rocks by the wind. The vessel keeled over on one side and we had to rig up masthead tackles to an anchor on the ice floe but found, instead of moving the ship, we were pulling the. entire block of harbor ice slowly around.
 Aided by the rising tide we got the ship afloat and worked around to the narrow inlet of the harbor. We thought we were at last free, when. squarely Tn front of Us. swung a great bar of Ice, closing the harbor, just as if a door had swung shut. There seemed to be no humanly possible way to get out. We thought we were jailed for another winter and with food and fuel supplies getting low the prospect was anything but pleasant. There was no hope of reaching safety with our two small dories.
 By quick triangulation we esti- mated the weight of the ice barrier to be at least ten million pounds. I was almost ready to give up when the possibility of saving a way through the narrow neck at the end of the barrier. suggested itself. We started desperately (COntinucd on Page Two.)

SUGAR DECISION
 ABOUT READY
Coolidge Also Decides To Make
 Philadelphia Speech

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Presi- dent Coolidge expects to speak Tn Philadelphia on the night of September 25, at the exercises celebrating the 15Oth anniversary of the meeting of the first continental congress although he has not yet definitely accepted the invitation.
 The President also made it known today that he expects to announce his decision very soon on the tariff com mission report on sugar duties, a re- ductiOn in which is understood to have been recommended by q majority of the commission.
 Mir. Coolidge expects to confine his speaking engagements to occasions to which he has been invited as President and not to make any political speak ing tour.
 In this connection, he told friends today, many such invitations have been received but he had no plans for any other addresses outside. the city. Some of his advisers, however, consider it likely the President will accept some of the invitations he has recevied for participation in exercises in middle western cities.

 LOOTED BY 4 MEN
Note Left For Sheriff-'We're
 In The Everglades

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, Sept. 12.-Four men swooped down on the Bank of Pompano at Pompano, Fla, 30 miles south of here this afternoon, rob bed it of $4,000 in cash and $5,OOO in Liberty bond. and then escaped in a borrowed" automobile which later was fund seven miles west of Deerfield on the banks of the HillsborO canal.
 The robbery occupied but few moments. Leaving one man in the au' tomobile almost directly in front of the bank, three of the robbers entered with revolvers with which they threatened c. H. Gates, cashier, and T. l.. Myers clerk, the only two persons within the building.
 The four men left a grim touch of sarcasm for Sheriff R. c. Baker oi Palm Beach county, with Ga jhier Gates and Clerk Myers when they handed each large pistol cartridge, remarking;

NAVY BACKBONE
 OF |. 5. DEFENSE,
 DAVIS DECLARES
1Decries Fact That Sea Force Is Below
 5-5-3 Ratio

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 12.-Ade- quate national defense, particularly on the sea, was urged here tonight by John W. Davis, the democratic presi- dentia1 candidate, in an address deal ing in part with Defense Day.
 America cannot throw away the sword when other scabbards are not empty, Mir. Davis said, adding that reasonable provision for the national defense is one of the first duties of the state"
 With equal emphasis, he urged that America work for the peace of the world, declaring the duty and interest of the country alike demanded "exer- tion in the cause of peace no less cour- ageous than valor in the time of war" Calling attention that this day had been one for taking stock of a portion of the national defense, Mir. Davis told would make mistake if it thought in 1 terms only of land armament, that the defense of the country lies first of all upon the sea- Assailing the administra- tion fer permitting American naval strength to fall below the 5-5-3 ratio provided by the Washington arms con- ference treaty, Mir. Davis called atten- tion also to the fact that the position of ~the United States with respect to light cruisers, submarines and airplane carriers is still more disadvantageous. ''
 Says Public Misled
 The democratic nominee said that when the arms conference ended the public gathered the impression that equality in naval equipment between Great Britain and America was assured and American superiority over Japan at the ratio of 5-3, was fixed for the next 10 years. He added that he did not charge that this was the result of any, intentional misrepresentation, but that the country was entitled to know that the conference dealt in no way with modern cruisers, with submarines, or the auxiliaries of the fleet"
 We must not let praise for the good intent that lay behind the Washington conference" he said, blind us to the partial and inadequate character of its scope and results"
 At the outset, MT. Davis called at tention that this is the anniversary of the battle of St. Mihiel and also the day of the retirement of General Persh. ing from the active list of the army.
 Lauds Pershing'S Service Praising General Pershing's services the democratic nominee said the gen eral should 'be made to know that he carries with him the respect, the ad- miration and gratitude of his country men,"
 We make use of this anniversary, MT. Davis said, ito take stock of a DOT. tion of our national defense. We are inspecting our military equipment and l calling up for review those who con stitute our regular and citizen army We cannot throw away the sword when scabbards are not empty, and reason able provision for the national defense is one of the first duties of the state For in world where human passions rage, it is the mere counsel of prudence in time of peace to prepare for war

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.- Reports tonight to the war de- partment from the nine corps area headquarters indicated an aggregate civilian participa- tion of more than 16,000,O0O in Defense Day exercises over the country.
 These included both the one day volunteers who turned out to fill up the ranks of the regu- lar army, national guard and organized reserves, and also the civilians who otherwise took part in parades and exer- cises, exclusive of the crowds along the streets which watched the demonstrations.
 Corps area commanders were unanimous in declaring the day highly successful and asserting that the public generally was enthusiastic in the | dorsement of the national defense pro- gram.
 6,535 Demonstrations.
 A summary of the reports received at the department said they showed that more than 16,792,781 persons had participated and that there have been 6,535 local demonstrations"
 Present indications are that all over the country communities have taken great interest and have had excellent demonstrations" the statement said. "The results obtained are highly satis- factory to the department"
 The figures received from corps area centers in the preliminary reports did not permit of an accurate estimate of the total one-day strength of the mili- tary units, although it was indicated that almost all of them had been filled to war strength or nearly so which would mean approximately two million men enrolled. The Department was also advised that 10000 nurses were avail able for emergency duty and that more than 70 per cent of them reported during the day"
 20 Million Listen In."
 In concluding the defense program tonight in radio addresses, Secretary Weeks and General Pershing spoke over telephone lines connecting over 3S,O00 miles of wire from coast to coast, their remarks being picked up for radio broadcasting at points from New York to San Francisco so that. the entire country from coast to coast and from border to border was reached. It has been estimated that not less than twenty million persons listened in" on the addresses which were devoted to expressions of qualification over the loyal cooperation the War Department had received in working out it's defense test program.
 At the conclusion of his brief re- marks dealing with the Defense Test exercises. Secretary Weeks introduced

Twentieth street, for an hour Friday, forgot itself. It forgot it's dignity as the hub ot the south's greatest indus trial center-the arrogance If its banks, its hotels and business houses !; it forgot the pretty jealousies of Main Street" For a golden hour" under th. magic wand of an appeal for a display of war preparedness, it became intensely human.
 Into Twentieth from First avenue advanced horde of about 1000 marchers which had wounded its way down Sixth avenue to the foot of Eigh- teenth street. It came in military for nations, some4rows painstakingly even, others ragged, some of an indifferen combination. Interspersed with the marchers were erect cavalry troops, c0lorful floats bearing exemplifications of Alabama's earth resources. cars car rying trained nurses, Boy Scouts, all submerged into a homeegeneity as Exhibits A. R and C." of war. Bir- mingham was showing he. teeth.
 In that parade, passing in review be- fore thousands of spectators who lined the sidewalks, war, ''the great leveler" was again at work. A law clerk. scarcely >out of his twenties, bawled ruthlessly at the senior member of his firm. The barrister grimaced and awkwardly shifted his step. A garage mechanic, in the garb of a first lieu tenant, scowled at bank official who hummed under his breath. A railroad brakeman parked his skeleton company into a haphazard left turn. The ''skele- ,,I@ I,o 1f leading real estate house, stove manufacturer, and a well-known cap italist. The tOpsy-turvy fortunes of war were back once more.
 5O,OOO Await March
 Along the line of march, patiently awaiting the end of the parade, stood nearly 50,000 watchers. They lined the curb for blocks, pushing good-naturedly for points of vantage, and straining for the first glimpse of the parade advance. At times they cheered, as when q wounded veteran, particularly attractive squad, the flag, or some thing which caught their fancy, passed.
 This business of war-making Friday was not as serious as some of the parades which have passed over the city pavement. Many of the watchers. and not few of the participants re- called similar line of march seven years ago, when an army of bronzcd young men swung snappily down the thoroughfare to the strident commands of base-voiced officers and the insistent blare of military bands. In that line of march the men were going out pre- pared to die.
 It was different than that. It lacked the potent pathos and the keen-edged thrill, but the result which the govern. ment asked, that forces be mobilized as 'test" was completely carried out Birmingham responded to the call
 The day was in perfect accord with the event. The sky vas practically eloudless and cool breeze which swept between the rows of buildings prevented any threatening overtures of heat.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12. Fear that the entire town of Graniteville, Nevada county, California, may have been wiped out4by the flames which have cut it off from the rest of the world for more than 4S hours, continued Friday night. The town has a population of more than 200 persons and all roads and wire communica- tion have been cut off by fire for two days. A wall of fire completely surrounds the town, reports here state.
 All put to Work
 Last words from the city before the forest fire, which has ragged in that section for days, burned down the wire communications and blocked the roads
 with blazing timber, was that all other
 work had been suspended while the inhabitants, men, women and children work to construct a fire break to pro- | tect the town.
 Fire fighters have been rushed from Bloomfield, south of Graniteyille, to at tempt to break through the flames and assist the inhabitants in their fight, or
 to determine the fate of the town. l Bloomfield itself is threatened by a | fire, which already has destroyed one | building and the surface workings of | the Union Blue mine.
 l The fire situation in Nevada county. 1 has assumed alarming proportions, | the forest service announced Friday night, High schools at Nevada City | have been closed, while the male stss- denis help to smother the flames m | the grass valley section.
 All able-bodied men and boys in Ne
 vada county have been conscripted to 1 fight the forest fire in that county, it l was reported to the. forest service here.
 Three new fires. believed to be incen- diary, broke out between Columbia Hill and Lake City Friday.
