In the plea of Sam Genna, Tony's
brother, for police protection. inves-
tigators saw grounds for belief that
the entire Genna clan has been
marked for death.
Please" begged Sam, don't send
me home. They're after me, too.
First it's Angelo. Then it's Mike.
Now it's Tony, and next it'll be me"
A police escort was given Sam, and
he was taken to a secret hiding place.
Search was made for Pete Genna,
fined several days ago for carrying a
pistol Jim, the sixth brother, is sup
posed to be visiting in Sicily.
Similarity in the deaths of Tony
Genna and O'Banion also was conSid-
cred by the police. O'Banion, using a
floral business as q cloak of respect
ability, was shot down as he greeted
several men of foreign appearance in
his shop. Genna, ostensibly q build
ing contractor, advanced with eX-
tended hand to meet two occupants of
an automobile, which halted before a
grocery in Little Italy" where he
had been waiting for q half hour.
Five bullets were fired into his body.
Tossing away pistols, the assailants
fled up the street and into a build
ing. A raid on the place later dis

of mash. Vito PALERMO, admitted
owner of the still, was held.

Goals Use Is Key
TOGOOd Business

Almost 100000 more tons of coal
were estimated to have been mined
in December than in November, 1924.
The estimated production for Novem-
Der totaled 4S,2S1 900 tons, as COM
pared with a. total of 53.0S5, 900 tons
in December. December production
was divided 1895, 600 tons of anthra-
cite and 45,S50.0 600 tons of bituminous
Notwithstanding the fact that more
coal was produced in December than
in the previous month, stocks in the
hands of industry diminished by
about IL per cent, it being esti-
mated there were 50,45S,0o0 tons in
the hands of industries on January
/. 1925. This compares with $685.
600 tons on hand December l, 1924
The total consumption of coal by in
dustries and for heating was esti-
mated at 42,T00,000 tons, of this, more
than two and a quarter million tons
is believed to have been used in do
mestic heating, etc. The remainder
4o,500,OO0, was consumed in industry
This figure would have been much
higher, it is believed, had not many
industries closed for three days at
Christmas on account of it's falling on
Thursday. The coal figures, there
fore, signify that there was a real
business improvement in December
over November, although it must also
be taken into consideration that No
vember, normally a short month, had
five Sundays, the anksgiving. day
holiday and several minor religious
holidays, whereas, December had onlv
four Sundays and the Christmas
holidays.

bridgehead until this matter of Sc
curity is determined.
Nominally Britain has three choices:
She can stay out altogether, but, as
/ have said. this does not save her
from the probability of being involved
in another European war, which in
any event, would wreck her markets
and purther PROSTATE her industry
She can take the French alliance,
with careful exclusion of other com
mitments, or she can accept the pro-
tocol and share in a reorganization
of Europe on the basis of the League
of Nations. Each of the three posi-
bilities is fraught with manifest dan
gers; none insures a certain solution.
But, failing all these, Britain might
be condemned to sit passively by,
while Europe drifts into another war,
only to be involved as she was before.
Meantime it would be idle to at
tempt TO blink the fact that events
rather than men and circumstances
rather than designs are steadily
bringing Franco-German relations to
the point where they constitute q su-
preme menace to ultimate peace and
an insuperable obstacle to present
organization of Europe.

New Busy Bee Theory
Boon to the Lazy Man

All the lazy men of the world
ought to unite and do something
tip-top for Frank Balfour Browne,
a lecturer of the Royal Institution
of Great Britain. Mr.. Browne has
done them distinct service by ad-
vancing the claim that the busy bee
is not busy because he is an indus
trious chap, but is busy because he
cannot help it. Nature made him
that way, and he is simply obeying
the impulses that nature made in
herent to him.
What a sweet piece of news for
the lazy man! No more can outside
scorn touch him-he is armored He
is not slothful because of any lack
of ambition, but merely because ma
ture fashioned him in that mold.
Nor can the busy bee be linked
to him by any scheme of comparison
Their orbits are as wide apart as
the poles. For one thing, Mr.. Browne
sets down the bee as so awfully
stupid" No lazy man will admit
that he is stupid. He'll even spend
energy to deny it. The bee won't
bother. He'll just go on industri-
ously making honey as though no
scientist had ever bothered to study
him and assassinate his character

The hotel was overcrowded, and the
keeper could not give him room

But" he told him, II can give
you a bed in room with one of our
New York State lawyers. He's from
Buffalo. His name is Cleveland
Grover Cleveland!'
Mr.. Cleveland came in just then. He
was dusty and grimy from long drive.
I don't think he carried a green UNI
brella, but he naturally looked unkempt.
The same man who once refused to
walk down the street with Abraham
Lincoln because he carried an awkward
umbrella now refused to occupy the same
room with Grover Cleveland who a few
years later was to be President of the
United States.
He told me the story hims self-a
kind of penance, it seemed to me. He
is dead and gone, but even when
living made no stipulation | should
not repeat his confession.
The full ugliness of snubbing your
fellow man is thrown into relief by
such an incident. But the snub is
not as shameful as that to awake
you to your manners it should take
the embarrassment of finding your
victim at the top of the ladder, So

you once tried to kick him, and the
fear that he may now return the
kick.

Hungarians Worried
By Ex-Empress Zita

The activities of the Austrian ex-
deal of attention in Central Europe,
the Hungarian royalists, among
others.
At present the ex-Empress is living
at Lequeitio, near Balboa, in Spain,
but there are persistent rumors that
she is endeavoring to return to Hun
gary. Her 12-year-old son, the ex-
Archduke Franz Joseph Otto, is put
forward as claimant to the Hunga-
rian throne.
The Hungarian royalists. however,
have no sort of desire for the restora-
tion of the old dual monarchy, en-
bracing both Hungary and Austria,
and they have been made very uneasy
by the publication of a letter which
the ex-Empress wrote to the Bishop
of Funchal.
In this letter she makes reference
to the future emperor" and speaks
of herself as regent, illusions which
are held to prove her aspiration to
re-establish the Hapsburgs in Austria
and Hungary alike.
In this she is believed to be
strongly supported by her aunt, the
ex-Archduchess Maria Theresa, who
is popularity supposed to have engi-
neered her marriage to the ex-
Emperor Karl Countess Schmissing-
Kerssenbrock, daughter of former
officer in the Austrian army and now
governess to the late Emperor'S chill
dren at Lequeitio, is another party
to the scheme.

Shaw Gives Advice
As to Russ Future

'It is quite possible that the Soviet
government will finally get better
terms, both in commercial and guar
anteed loans, from the present con-
servatiye government than the late
labor government dared offer 1t,
says George Bernard Shaw in a letter
to the Moscow Izvestia. The letter
was written in reply to a request for
a pronouncement on the Russian
question. The Soviet government, he
says would do well to dissociate it
self from the Third International.
From the point of view of Eng
lish Socialists, the members of the
Third International do not know
even the beginning of their business
as Socialists; and the proposition that
the world should take its orders from
a handful of Russian novices. who
seem to have gained their knowledge
OF modern Socialism by sitting over
the drawing-room stove and reading
the pamphlets of the Liberal Revo-
lutionists of 1S4S-70, makes even
Lord Curzon and Winston Churchill
seem extreme modernists in COM
parison.' Where Socialism was a
living force Karl Marx had been
left far behind, and Mr.. Zino-
views attempt to carry on the Marx
ian tradition in the hope that he and
iron organization" was making Rus
sian communism ridiculous.
The Russian writings which made
the most favorable impression in
England, he said, were those OF
Trotsky, but even he had allowed
himself to speak of H. G. Wells with
contempt, which showed that he had
not read the Outline of History" and
realized what an enormous advance
on "Das Kapitar that work repre-
sented.
Mr.. Zinovieff and his Third Inter
national did not intend to wreck an
English general election in the capi-
talist interest, but this is precisely
what they did by their inopportune
literary romancing, which it suits
our governing classes very well to
pretend to take seriously. If that
sort of thing continues, and the
Soviet government pretends to take
seriously, or, worse still, does actu-
ally take 1t seriously, then all hope
of solidarity between Socialists in the
West and East of Europe will fade
out; and we must go our own way
in England without more regard to
the policy of Moscow than Moscow has
for the policy of Madagascar"

Everyday Religion
BY RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, ID. d.,
Bishop OF Washington.
1t a Talk on Theology, But Upon Life
and Right Living.

an anomalous thing if we discovered
that we Were growing stronger in all
commercial relations in our spiritual
and religious convictions, and dis
closing no like development in our
domestic and social life. Such a con-
dition would be fraught with grave
perils and would issue in a situation
too serious to be contemplated. In
this connection there have been some
startling things said recently from
educational centers The idea that
somehow the schools, especially the
private ones, should do the work of
character building which the homes
neglect, is repellent to school mas
ters and mistresses. Too frequently
fathers and mothers abdicate their
responsibility as the moral and re-
ligious leaders of their children and
seek to impose upon others this OBJ
legation. Such a method will not
work, nor should it. If home life is
to keep pace with the idealism of
business life, as is illustrated in such
great clubs as Rotary, kimanls and
many others, it win have to speedily
adjust itself to meet the needs of
the hour.
One of the most suggestive plays
recently produced indicates d situa-
tion in our home life that is by no
means exaggerated. 1t shows a son
and daughter, wholly Indifferent to
home ties and affections, each going
his or her way without moral or eth
ical standards, and utterly independ-
ent of any expressed judgment of
father or mother. The author may
have exaggerated somewhat the sit
uation. nevertheless it is indicative
of conditions that are by no means
rare.
We cannot build the moral char
acter of our life from the top down,
but from the bottom up. Finer stand
ards in business, lower standards in
home, will issue ultimately in con-
fusion worse confounded. President
Coolidge says, "the strength of a ma
ton is the strength of its religious
convictions" 1t is about time We
began to consider more carefully and
seriously our individual responsible
tiles as parents and leaders. 1t has
been repeatedly said that the eXcesses
among our young people are trace
able to unassumed obligations or
careless examples OF fathers and
mothers. The church itself, with its
weekly services. is inpotent without
who refuse 10 assume their just re-
ligious obligations can hardly exact
them from their children. Let us set
our house in order and in so doing
stabilize the Nation, the State and
society in general.
