PLEDGES
ITALY TO AID PEACE
Declares Nation Will Be in
Front Rank of Those
Working for Amity.
Bysbe Associated Press.

Blythe Associated Press.
ROME, March 2s-Premier Mus
soIkni yesterday, in the upper cham
Der of Parliament, made his first
speech since his illness. He said Italy
was in the front ranks in the nego-
tiations in progress between the Eu-
ropean chancelleries for the promo
tion of security and peace now that
the Geneva protocol was dead. He
characterized the protocol as a docu-
ment which, although intended to
promote peace, really would have
meant preparing for war.
Signor Mussolini stigmatized recent
"deplorable reports about catas-
trophbc conditions In Italy" Most of
these reports were circulated by
renegade Italians who, having in
vented for me illness which never
existed, now are quite capable of in
venting the story that l never was Ill
at ALL
The premier concluded by saying;
Il feel that 1 am now-as 1 always
have been and always will be-the
devoted servant of the nation"
The premier described the present
political situation as extraordinarily
interesting" and declared:
AT Geneva first, or rather third
class funeral was held over the
League of Nations protocol, which ]
had considered marvellous ma
chinery designed to unchain universal
war in order to attain peace. This is
not the first time that the pacihsts
have shown themselves to be the in
stigatoFs of war.
After having buried the protocol
with a flower and a tear, in the words
of Austen Chamberlain, all the prob
lens of security and European peace
are again on the table, and Italy has
already assumed sure and precise
course"

FREEDOM OF DANCER
WON BY GOLF STICKS
British Officer Tells of Fight With
Armed Natives to Save
Nautch Girl.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press
BOMBAY, March 2S1z-A graphic
story was told in court today of a
desperate fight on Malabar Hill on
January 12 in which four British of
ficers armed only with golf clubs
routed nine alleged kidnapers equip
ped with knives and pistols, and res
cued Mumtaz Begun. the young In
dian dancing girl, who since has be-
come famous as the former favorite
OF the powerful Maharaja of. Indore,
from whom she is said to have run
away.
Mumtaz was rescued from kidnap-
ers, but not before a wealthy Indian
merchant with whom she was motor
ing was killed. Lieut.. Bailey of the
Gurha Rifles testified that with three
brother officers he was motoring back
to Bombay from his golf club when
they encountered the armed party
attempting to abductr Mumtaz from
the motor car. The four British of
hoers ran to the rescue and a fierce
conflict followed in which the. natives
used their knives and revolvers, while
the officers depended upon their phys
ical strength and theri dexterity in
welding their heayy-headed golf
clubs.
Lieut.. Bailey attempted to relate
the story with modesty, but the, facts
spoke for themselves and were lis
tened to in tense Silence. Heads were
cracked as the golf clubs drove
against native skulls, hand-to-hand
bouts were staged, and by quickness
and much luck the British officers es-
capped death from native knives and
guns.
Mumtaz was the center of the weird
melee, from which she finally escaped
to the officers automobile after her
beautiful face was marred by a deep
knife wound.

BAKER HELPERSASk
81 DAILY INCREASE
Base Pay Now Is $3.50-Re-
lection of Demand Is De-
clared Likely.

A new wage scale calling for an
increase of 81 a day in the pay of
bakers helpers has been submitted
to the employing bakers of the Dis
-triet by C. A. Kann, business agent
of the Bakers and Confectioners'
Union, Local lis, 1t was learned to-
day. The rate of pay for the journey
men bakers, it is understood, has not
been changed in the new schedule,
which is recommended to become eff
fective at the expiration of the pres
ent wage agreement, on May 1.
Under the present scale the bakers
helpers are receiving $3.50 a day,
with a 10 per cent increase for night
work. The journeymen are paid 81
an hour for day work and $40 an
hour for night work.
Conference Is Planned.
A conference. will be held between
representatives of the employing
bakers and the union officials In the
near future, Mr.. Kann said, to dis
cuss the new wage agreement.
Although the employers have not
yet indicated what action they will
take, 1t was pointed out by an Off
cial of one of Washington's large
bakeries today that they likely
would oppose any increase in the pay
for bakers or helpers at this time.
According to this official, it is cost
ing the bakers more to produce bread
and other wheat-fiour productions
than last year. when the prevailing
wage agreement was put into effect.
Flour alone. he said, is bringing from
SO to $3.50 more a barrel than last
year.

with Lieut.. Col. Clarence o. Sheriff.,
officer in charge Of public buildings
and public parks of the National
Capital, who has supervision over the
Tidal Basin,
Col. Sheriff. is quite in favor ftthe
proposal to stock the Tidal Basin
with these fish, which is made pos
sihle at this time because of the
removal of the bathing beaches and
the consequent stopping Of the
chlorination of the waters there.
He is having the matter of ffnanc-
ing looked into. to ascertain. whether
there are sufficient funds with which
to construct necessary nets. to pre-
vent the fish from getting into the
Potomac River and Washington, Harr
Dor when the. flood gates are opened
to allow the water 10 flow in or out
of the basin, He is fully cognizant
of the necessity of acting promptly
IN order that the fish may be put
in by the Bureau of Fisheries before
the, usual spawning season, However,
SO far as he has been able to find
there are no funds available at this
time with which to build the neces-
sary nets, which involve an engineer
ing problem. He estimates offhand
that it VIII take approximately $1,000
TO build these nets, according to pre-
liminary plans discussed with him
by engineers of his Office.
However Col. Sheriff. let IT be
known that he is quite anxious TO do
everything within his power to in
crease the park facilities of tha Dis

that is necessary to stop the fish
from leaving the Basin, and which he
says, can be placed inside the food

a recent ruling BY Cotroller General

Steward told the council. are literally
torn between the desire to do their
duty and the impossibility of travelling
on the small expense account allowe ed
by the Government without spending
their own money.
Human Element Ignored.
IF the employee exceeds the travel
allowance. he is violating the law, and
If he declines to go out on a job and
spend his own money, he is guilty of

mo other employer would disregard
the human element and abide by the
set rules of procedure in case where
the employe frequently has to pay
travelling expenses out of his own
pocket.
Referring to the statement of the
Civil Service Commission yesterday
favoringa establishment Of a Govern
ment personnel bureau, Mr.. Steward
said when the council two days ago
suggested a personnel manager for
the Government, 1t favored the gen.
