EFFORT TO GET Bail

Chicago, April 2.-William D.
Shepherd, foster father of William
Nelson McClintock, millionaire or
phan. and under Indictment for
murder IN connection with Nc
Clintock's death, today lost two
more efforts to gain his release on
bonds. Decisively defeated in an eff
fort to get their client out of Jail on
an order by Chief Justice Hopkins
of the criminal court, Shepherds at
torneNs made another attempt to
gain his release .aIer In the day by
shifting the fight to another court.
After Judge Hopkins had refused
to release Shepherd, William Scott
Stewart, chief counsel for ShepherdI
sent q notice to George +. Gormant
assistant states attorney, that he
would go before Judge William
Brothers tomorrow and renew his
demand for bail. Mr.. German. how
ever, refused to accept services
maintaining that the chief justice as I
signs it to another judge.
Judge Hopkins in refusing to rel
Tedse Shepherd, said that the af-
fidavits filed attacked the crediblllty
of the states witnesses and that they
were a matter to be introduced at
the trial itself Most of them were
aimed at Charles c. Faiman. who
was indicted with Shepherd and who
as proprietor of a scientific school,
said Shepherd had offered him
100000 for typhoid gerps, and in
formation about incubation.
Judge Hopkins later said that
shepherd would be arraigned for a
Flea one week from today.

The Tribuna says that General

Important events developed al
most simultaneously in both houses
of parliament today-a pugilistic in
cident in the chamber eliminating
in a challenge to duel, and post
ponement by the senate, upon the
request OF Premier Mussolini. of the
vote on General Di Giorgio's army
reform bill.
The uproar in the chamber was
caused by the charge made by Dep
uty Viola that the government had
concentrated black shirts on the oc-
casion of the recent election in the
Caserta Commune for the purpose
of intimidating the voters opposed
to the Fascist candidates. This
charge led to an exchange of blows
between Viola and the Fascist dep
uty Bottai, and Bottai thereupon
challenged Viola to a duel
The numerous other deputies, in
GLIDING Farinacci. secretary gen.
eral of the Fascist Party, and some
of the Communists. and the sergeant
at arms had trouble in separating
the combatants.
While this scene was being en-
acted in the chamber. Mussolini
appeared before the senate and re-
quested postponement of the vote or
the war minister's bill. He explain
ed that the government intended tc
continue its study of the whole ques-
ton of the uefense of the nation
with a view to ordinat ting the
army, navy and air forces. A re-
vised measure, he promised, would
be presented later.
The premier had already decided
not to make the vote question OF
confidence.

recent sale Of the California Orient

Premier Seeking Way
Out of Money Dilemma

Paris, April 2-(By A. PA con-
ference which Is likely to have an
important bearing on the future of
the French cabinet was summoned
late tonight. by Premier Herriot to
consider problems raised by the dis
cussion of the budget in parliament.
All the ministers were present,
with the notable exception of M.
Clementel, minister of finance. Also
absent from the gathering were M.
Painleve, president of the chamber
Of deputies; former Minister of War
Malvy; former Minister of Finance
KlotZ; and the finance committee
men Of the chamber who are MEM
bers of the government majority.
The non attendance Of M. Clemen-
tel was the subject of general COM
ment in political circles. where the
outcome of the conference, which
was expected to last far into the
night, was awaited with intense in
terest.
The Hobbies of parliament were
seething tonight. The proceedings in
the senate today had made a bad i'm
preston, and the feeling was general
in political circles that the ministry
had got itself into a position from
which it would have considerable
difficulty in extricating itself.
Reconstruction of the cabinet and
even the resignation of the ministry,
was freely talked Of. All sorts Of re-
ports were current, notably of al
legged differences between Premier
Herriot and Finance Minister Glenn
entel, who is said occasionally to
have taken the initiative without
previously consulting the premier.
The principal difficulty of the cab
met is how to get increased re-
sources, which are admittedly indis-
pensable. Premier Herriot SEEM
ingly is between two fires. The So
cialists are insistent for a capital
levy, without which it is understood
they will withdraw their support
from the government. But should
the premier give in to them, he I'M
doubtedly would ALLEVIATE large
part of the radical section of the
majority.
To further aggravate the situation
there is the growing menace OF q
clash with the senate, where the OPP
position to the governments financial
policy has greatly strengthened as
consequence of todays debate.
