TH|EVERY SUSPECTS HELD BY POLICE.
Four Me1 May Have Taken JeWels-.Car Was Bullet Riddled
QUESTIONED ON MURDERS
New York Police Believe Some Light May Be Thrown On Cases Of "Broadway Butterflies" Killed lin Their Apartments.

New York, Oct 2l. - Four men under arrest were questioned today in connection with the robbery early yesterday of the West Side apart ment of Mrs. Helen Heyworth fiancee of "Dapper Don" Collins, in- ternationally notorious thief.
 A platinum, diamond clustered ring resembling one stolen from Mrs. Helyworth was found in pos session of one of the four prisoners who were arrested for another hold up and later suspected of having been involved in the Heyworth rob bery.
 From their questioning of the prisoners the police also hoped to throw light on the cases of Dorothy Keenan. Louise Lawson and Edith Bobe. Miss Keenan and Miss Law son, Broadway butterflies" were killed by robbers who ransacked their apartments. Miss Bobe and her wealthy man companion were held up in her apartment recently and robbed of jewelry valued at S50,000.
 Found Bullet Riddled Auto
 The four prisoners were arrested early today after q bullet-riddled automobile was found in garage in West Tenth street. Two of the men first were arrested for the hold up of Joseph Hofstein, from whom s200 was stolen on Saturday night in West Forty Seventh street. Later developments in the questioning of the two first prisoners, however, led to the arrest of the two others in their homes and to their questioning in connection with the Heyworth robbery.
 The prisoners described them- selves as Louis Fishkin, of !NlanhGt- tan and Abraham Grant, Jacob and Louis Kiviat, all of Brooklyn. The diamond ring was found in the possession of Fishkin.
 woman friend of Mrs Heyworth identified the ring as part of the loot taken in the apartment robbery yes- terday, Mrs. Heyworth did not at tempt to identify the ring.
 Robbery In Restaurant
 The automobile which first arous- cd the suspicion of the police was believed by them to have been the same used by robbers early yester- day in escaping after holding up an East Houston street restaurant Police who chased the bandits rid dled their car With bullets. This robbery occurred few hours after the Heyworth holdup.
 Mrs. Heyworth was identified as the divorced wife of Otto Heyworth, of Chicago, grandson and Sputed heir of Otto Young, Chicago multi millionaire. When "Dapper Don" Collins, was arrested in Paris last spring and held for cXtradition 10 the United States to serve a sentence for robbery and swindirg, Mrs Hey worth offered to marry him in his cell. She followed Collins to this country. He is now serving his sen- tence on Welfare Island.
 Mrs. Heyworth, after the robbery was reported. suddenly left the apartment in an automobile listed in the name of Mrs. Gerald Dempsey, daugbter of former Justice Morgan J. O'Brien. Dempsey is described as retired broker and lives at Hemp stead. Long Island.

BUDGET IS BALANCED
By Tho Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Moscow. Oct. 21. The soviet Russian commlssar for finance, M. the all-Russian parliament, now in session in the Kremin, that despite the fall of the British labor govern ment, English bankers with the sup port of certain American financial institutions have agreed to advance soviet Russia extensive commercial credits.
 The finance minister did not men ton the specific amount of these advances, confning himself to gen. eral statement that Russia has "con- cluded negotiations for loan from abroad in the form of a credit to the Russian state bank on several tens of millions of gold rubles."
 NJ. Sokolnikov said that the gov- ernment, for the first time since the revolution, had balanced it's budget without resort to the issuance of paper money.
 Totals of Budget
 The budget totals 2,O91,600000 gold rubles. Of this 37S,000,000 or 22;000,000 more than last year are assigned for defense of the coun- try: 414.OO0,0OO will be derived from direct taxes, of which 215,000,- 900 represents the peasant agricul- tural tax; 1S.000,000 are set aside for famine relief; while indirect taxes total 376,000,000.
 The revenue from state property Is expected to yield slightly more than 1,000,O00,000 rubIes while 20O,OOo,OOO will be derived from credit operations including the ts- suance of silver and copper cur rency.
 On Foreign Loan
 Speaking on the question of for eign loan, the finance minister said the government was not carrying on negotiations for a loan because Rus sia needed 1t vitally to balance her buu6cl put btCduS SIS WdHlSu II in order to reestablish her national production.
 If we decide" he continued, Ito remain on the same scale of econo- mic developmeut we can do so without a loan. It is a mistake for British and American bankers to imagine that a foreign loan is a question of life or death with soviet Russia.
 If 1t were not for the famine which demands extraordinary ex- penses, we would now be In a posi- ton to say that the difficult period in our budget has passed.
 Has Gold Reserve
 "Re ports in the, foreign press to the effect that Russia has exhausted It's gold reserve are wholly untrue. It Is true that our gold funds sui fered diminution by reason of the seizure of portions of our gold by Kolchak and the Czechoslovakians hut UT reserves show an impreee- ment over those of 1922 and 192&
 This year is the last difficult year the soviet union will pass through. From now on, the fullets hope may be entertained for a steady improvement in our financial situation"

Jose Says They
Just Happened
to Be There

Jose Maria Leon, 35, Mexi-
can, is having some trouble ex-
planning how Dame Fortune
happened to bestow upon him,
while he slept beneath a tree
at the outskirts of Brawley, a
trunkful of personal belongings,
which were taken from ga
rage belonging to Archie Little
in Brawley. Leon insists that
he had nothing to do with the
acquisition of the booty.
The Mexican was brought be-
fore Judge Griffin in Brawley
yesterday for arraingment on a
charge of burglarizing the Little
garage and breaking into a
trunkful of clothing and per-
sonal property there.
Officers said they found him
lying in a makeshift bed under
a gum tree at the edge of town,
having the stolen property with
him. Leon told the court that
he had stumbled into the bed
by accident and that the articles
in question were already there.
He said he simply wanted to
sleep and that he didn't bother
TO ask who made the bed or who
was the owner of the stuff piled
near it. He pleaded not guilty
to the charge, and was brought
back to jail here to await trial
in superior court.
