L DUCE DECLINES
TO AVOID SLAYERS
CIings to Policy, 'Live DAN
gerousIy"-Appears More
Frequently in Public.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
ROME, November 13-Premier
Mussolini, who breaches the doctrine,
Live dangerously" is living up to 1t
by mapping out a program for the
future which will carry him more
than ever before the public. despite
pleas that he protect himself from
further attempts at assassination by
secluding himself.
Protection by keeping out of the
public eye, the Duce feels, according
to those close to him, would be trea-
son to the italian people who see in
him q, symbol of the nations spirit
of indomitable fearlessness. Keeping
in the limelight may be an optional
privilege for the ordinary mortal, but
it Is an obligation and a duty for a
generalissimo who breaches the doc
trine, Live dangerously" Risk should
not be the spice, but the staff, of life
for q weak nation which dareS hope to
be strong.
Many Times I'm Peril.
Practicing what he breaches. the
premier, since the recent attack upon
him at Bologna, has shown himself
In public at every opportunity. He
has walked through the streets and
driven daily in his limousine from his
home through the crowded center OF
Rome; has reviewed troops and Fas-
cist militia; has shown himself on the
famous balcony of the Chigi Palace;
has presided at a public session of
the Chamber of Deputies and in a
l,0x !, 90
target for bullet or bomb.
And now he has mapped out q pro-
gram for the future which entails
more, rather than fewer, direct con-
facts with the people.
II am confident" he repeated on
several occasions this week. that
nothing and nobody can harm me
until my task is completed"
Although refusing to shut himself
off from the people, the premier has
consented to other means of protec-
ton from would-be assassins. BY
means Of the new law for the defense
Of the regime, every man, woman or
child, suspected even remotely of op-
position to the regime, is being closely
watched on every occasion when the
premier is within the range of danger.
The throngs are literally honeycombed
with police agents, SCldlerS and MILL
tiamen, while the most rigid cordons
prevent any one from coming near
him.
More Drastic Regulations.
Regulations governing entrance to
the Chamber of Deputies and the
Chigi Palace, whenever he is present,
have been stiffened. When the
premier Is in the streets no one
carrying a package Of any descrip-
ton or who is acting suspiciously is
allowed within several hundred yards.
This compromise arrangement Of
still exposing himself but protecting
himself is explained as the result Of
the necessity of steering a middle
course. So much Of a barometer Of
the regime Is he that his personal ap-
pearance before the people is consid-
cred essential. When other Fascist
leaders speak, the crowds scream.
I'll Duce, II Duce, we want to hear
the voice Of II Duce" Sometimes
even when he commands silence,
shrill voices continue to cry, "Our
Duce."

STOCKHOLM, November 13.--The
"great ruby Of Russia" pride of
crowned heads for centuries, once
treasured possession Of Catherine. the
Great and considered one of the most
valuable Of the Russian crown jewels,
is now declared by a Russian scientist
to be merely large rubellite and far

The bogus character Of this long
famed jewel is disclosed by Prof.
Gregori Aminoff, head Of the mine
ralogical section Of the Swedish Royal
Museum. His statement is based on
a report by Prof A. Fersman, noted
Russian mlnerakOgist, published in
the bulletin Of the Russian Academy
Of Science. in which the Russian au-
thority writes about it as follows:

ARDENT LOVE READ
TO MURDER Jury
Widows Lips Culver at
Start, But She Soon Re-
gains Composure.
By the Associated Press.

SOMERNILLE, n. j., November 13.
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall sat in the
little courthouse here today and heard
letters, telling Of the professed love Of
her dead husband for another woman.
also dead, read to O. jury which
seemed less interested than the curl
Gus throng in the courtroom.
The widow of the slain rector sat
between her brothers and codefend-
ants, Willie and Henry Stevens, as
extravagant phrases. represented as
those Of her husband addressed to
Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills, singer in his
church choir, were read into the rec
ord by the State, which charges the
trio with the murder Of Mrs. Mills.
A slight culver of the lips as the
reading was started, and the woman
defendant was calm again, a very
possessed but sorrowful figure.
Letters Dwarf All Else.
The letters dwarfed all else Of sig
nificance Of the trial day. Submitted
as evidence in the morning. after they
previously had been identified, they
were admitted, but not until the de-
Tense had vainly urged their exclu-
sion.
Most of the letters were written
from Maine, where the Rev. Edward
w. Hall was on vacation in 1922. A
Christmas card sent in December,
1921, was among the letters. Only
two references to Mrs. Hall appeared.
One told of Mrs. Halls wondering
why l am taking only three Sun
days off" The other said: II can't
talk to you any more in the presence
Of Mrs. Hall or jim"
The letters were introduced by the
prosecution as having been found with
a diary, said to have been that of Mr..
Hall, found in Mrs. Mills home after
her death They were printed in part
in 1922, James Mills. the husband Of
the slain woman, and the Jim" e

paid $500 by a New York newspaper
for the publication rights.
Most Signed I'D. L. t."
The letters were signed for the most
part ID. l.. IT,, but some were read
as bearing the name of the minister.
The use Of the initials was not eX-
planned.

queen" being a favorite expression,
and once royal queen" Dear, dear
angel sweetheart" was a salutation, as

The impatience Of the lover was re-
fected in an expression, darling, only

sentence read to the jury.

a declaration, and later, 'oh, how I

Peace Virtually Imposed.

The settlement is described by no.
body as negotiated peace. 1t is peace
virtually imposed by the government,
and was accepted only after bitter
opposition by minority of the Welsh
miners and in the face Of a probable
stampede Of the men back to work
had 1t been rejected.
The royal commissions report,
which figured so largely in the earlier
negotiations, is disregarded. The
owners gained most of their points for
the settlement. which means longer
hours and decreased wages for the
men and complete disappearance Of
the national principle in arranging
the conditions of work.
All that the miners saved out Of
the wreckage Is a "shadowy" national
tribunal with the short life Of six
months and very attenuated powers.
No Arbitration of Hours.
The explanations the miners re-
quested from the government con-
cerning the government proposals.,
given today show that the tribunal
will have no power to arbitrate on the
question Of hours. The miners may,
however, appeal to the tribunal in the
event Of any district settlement fail
ing to conform to what is considered
the standard agreement.
The government tried to secure
peace for a period of three years by
providing that no standard agreement
can be made for less than three years.
The miners objections to the gov
ernment's peace proposals have given
rise to much acrimonious correspond
ence. throwing little light on the ma
ture Of the objections. The settle
ment is likely to satisfy nobody but
the great public, which wants coal for
its stagnant industries. Peace is as
sured for a time because the miners
funds are exhausted to such an ex-
tent that another fight Is improbable,
possibly for years to come.

NAVY'S PASSES WIN.
Middies Outwit Georgetown to Win,
10 to Z.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 13
R.-Forward passing, the Navy S
strongest offensive method, again
proved successful today when the
Middies outwitted heavy Georgetown
team to win, 10 to Z, in the last quar-
ter Of a gruelling game.
The final period punch, which aided
the Midshipmen in defeating Purdue,
Princeton and Colgate, was apparent
again as Navy marched almose the
length Of the field to turn the tide to
victory after the earlier quarters had
proven unfruitful Of winning plays.
Although seemingly saving itself
throughout the early part of the
game, Navy on all except one occa'
sion was able to muster an lnvlnclble
line at crucial moments. Six George
town offensives pressed deep into
Navy territory only to be turned back
The HilltopperS only once were able
to pass the Navy 20-yard line.
Navy started a team largely made
up of regulars, but taking no chances
with the Army-Navy service classic
impending, it threw in substitutes
often.

to plant the ball on the Georgetown

Representative Here

r. J. Davis is now in Douglas as
the representative of the DeIco Light
company and the Frigidaire Electric
Refrigeration company, which has a
large factory in Dayton, Ohio, and a
stock distribution center at Ell Paso.
The new representative covers Co.
chise, Graham and Greenlee counties
as we'll as five counties in New Mex
leo. He has sold about a dozen of
the modern electric Frigidaire re-
frigerators in this area to date and
has many more ready to deliver to
customers in Douglas.
One of the cabinets is now in dis
play at Harris cafe where those in
terested may view it. 1t is claimed
by Davis that this type Of electric
refrigerator will stand up under the
most difficult conditions. 1t can be
procured here on easy terms and can
be shipped directly from Eel Paso.
Davis is leaving Douglas on April
for a factory sales school in Day
ton where he will receive further in,
structions about offering the product
to the public. Trained men watch
the cabinets when installed and are
ready at short notice to see that any
difficulty which may develop is at

III was decided TO start Ike SEASON.
on the ninth of April instead of the
sixteenth as. originally planned as
IEl Paso and Juarez requested it.
William Alberts, president Of the
Douglas club and Frank Work Sec
rotary, represented this city at the
meeting.
The first half of the season will
end on June 81 covering IL weeks
period while the second half will
end on Labor day, covering 10
weeks OF play.
Directors OF the Douglas club
willy meet at the Douglas Chamber
of Commerce and Mines office We'd
nesday night at 8 o'clock this week
and every week during the season
to make plnas for the season as it
progresses. The conference over the
weekend cleared away all obstacles
league as a six-club circuit, and the
teams are now ready to start on
their spring training season, which
will terminate when the opening
games are played with Juarez at
Ell ,Paso. Chino Copper company at
Fort Bayard and Douglas at Bisbee
on April 9, 10 and IL.
A joint proposal of Ell Paso and
Juarez that the season be opened
one week earlier in order to avoid
a conflict with the opening date
of the Juarez race meet was unan-
imously adopted Members of the
directing board felt that the change
of date would result beneficially to
the whole league.
Fort Bayard VS.. Juarez
The shift will place Ell Paso on
the road during the race opening,
while Fort Bayard will play Juarez
in the Juarez park. In order to
make the series a financial sue
cess, however, the Juarez directors
will probably boom the Friday game
on the day before the race opens,
taking advantage of the crowds that
will be there for opening day. The
two clubs will then rest on, Sat
urday, but will open up strong Sun
day, and it is possible that a shift
may be made to Dudley Field for the
one game. The third game of the
series will be played on Monday in
order to attract the race crowds,
since Monday is the off-day at the
Juarez track.
The schedules as approved by the
directors gives every district in the
league a series over every week
end throughout the season. Bisbee,
for example will be on the road
while Douglas Is at home, and Fort
