Vatican Admits Public
 to View Noted Treasures

ROME, Apr. 7.-Priceless art treasures connected with the history thru the ages of Saint Peters, the mother church of Christendom, hith- erto jealously guarded in the i'm penetrable chambers of the Vatican, now may be examined by visitors to Rome, thanks to the opening to the public several days ago of the Museum Petriano.
 Among the treasures are many as sociated with the old basilica which was destroyed on orders of Pope Ju- Illus II in 1505 to make way for the construction, started April IS, 1906, of the present church. There are models in wood by Michelangelo and Sangallo, the statue of Sixtus " done by Pollaiolo, the huge statues of St. Peter and St. Paul done on orders from Pope Plus II by Paolo Romano, the magnificent sculptures carried out for the tomb of Plus II by Mino da Fiesole and Giovanni Dalmata, one of the angles of the famous Giotto mosiac, and countless other remark able works

Freedom Turned Down
 for Joys of Life In Jail
fRv Associated Pressl


 ROME, Apr. 7.-The incorrigibilty and contempt for the police which made Silvio Visconti a thorn in the side of the authorities a half century ago, when he was a member of the famous Cipriano La Gala bandit band, stood him in good stead re- gently when he again, at the age of 94, found himself at odds with the forces of law and order.
 Informed by the wardens of the Portici prison in Naples, where he had been incarcerated for 45 years, that he was free, he insisted that he wanted to spend the rest of his days in jail, Despite the aged mans protests, two caribineers took him to his native village, Gissuni-Vallepi- ana. But Silvio knew they could not keep him out of jail if he broke his good conduct parole, so he walk ed back the 300 miles to Naples, an heroic task for a man of his age, sat down in front of the prison gate and howled until the wardens were fore ed to admit him.

Jewish Request Expended
 To Educate Arab Children

JERU SALEM, Apr, "A farm school for Arab boys and a high school for Jewish children will soon be established at Tulkarem and Jeru- salem, respectively, with the funds of the $500,000 beQuest of the late Sir Ellis Kadoorie, a Jewish philan- thropist of Shanghai. Both schools will bear the name of the donor, who bequeathed one-third of his es- tate to the British government to be spent by it on the provision of schools in Palestine or Mesopotamia.
 Although several of the other be- quests of the will were for insti- tutions for the benefit of Jews, no such provision was made with re- gard to this particular gift. The British government accepted the be- quest, and decided that the funds be spent in Palestine Tn view of the terms of the will it has not felt itself justified in limiting the ex- penditure to schools for the Jewish population exclusively.

AMERICAN MACNATES PURSUE INVASION OF
 BRITISH FILM FIELD
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Apr. 7.-The moaning and wringing of hands over the sad state of the British moving picture film business waXes louder day by day. Perhaps the public cares, but it shows no inclination to cease crowding into the. hundreds of Brit ish theaters where American films are run off almost exclusively, year in and year out
 The British film makers cast many an envious eye at Hollywood and they lift their voices, fervently hop ing to catch the ears of both gov ernment and the people, and protest that even England's own dominions and colonies are being Americanized by the subtle propaganda contained in the cellulodal products of the studios of California and New York. Lest their arguments fall on deaf ears, trade, the very life blood of the empire, is brought into play. It would seem that trade has broken itself of the habit of following flags; these days it follows the film, There is a very active campaign on to have the Baldwin government slap a heavy tax on foreign films, and help the tottering movie magnates of this country until their business grows up and becomes steady on its feet. The government has so far kept silent upon it's intentions, if any, as regards the movies.
 Meanwhile dollar-laden magnates of the movies breeze in from Broadway, one after another, and whizz around the British Isles, building up de- lenses against competition from oth- CT sources and bolstering their Eng fish business. Some of them have even gone so far as to begin build ing or buying large theaters of their own in the precincts of Piccadilly Circus.

NEW YORK ASKS
 DRY REFERENDUM
 OF LEGISLATURE
(Rv Associated Press)

ALBANY, N. Y., April 7.-The an nual battle of the vets and the drys over a state wide prohibition enforce ment bill is being waged in the New York legislature.
 Both sides claim victory. The vets insist the Wales-Jenks prohibition measure will be defeated in the sen ate if it passes in the assembly. The drys, while admitting their prospects are not particularly bright in the up per house, claim when the time comes enough Republican senators will vote for the measure to insure it's passage.
 But the vets have trump card up their sleeve i'll the person of Governor Alfred F. Smith. Should the dry bill pass both houses. Governor Smith is certain to veto it. He has stated re- peatedly the state has enough law now and needs enforcement instead of new laws.
 The vets are said to be rallying to the support of the Karle bill, because they believe the sentiment among the voters is against an enforcement mea- sure
 Senator Karle insists that his mea- sure has an excellent chance of being passed by the legislature. It would summit inc ouaStion at a SnociaI alac- tiOn next month.
 Lieut. Governor Seymour bowman, regarded as the spokesman for the drys, says every Republican member of the senate and assembly should vote for prohibition enforcement act to carry out the pledges made by the Republican party in the campaign last fall.
