News of the arrest in Italy Of

For a long time there has been
strong feeling here that the Slovenian

The foreign office refuses TO discuss
the incident. which is considered a
most untimely one. since the conven.

will shortly come up for ratification.

GUNMEN FIRE ON HOMES.
Birger Gang Members Believed Guilty
Of Attack.

BENTON. Ill. November IL @.-
Unidentified gunmen. believed by
Franklin County officers to have been
members of the Birger bootleg gang.
early today fired into two homes at
West City, near here. in the neighbor.
hood formerly frequented by the rival
Shelton gangsters. No one was
wounded.
Shortly afterwards Carl and Bernie
Shelton we're arrested in Benton by
postal officers and taken eastward by
train, presumably to Danville.
The assailants fired from several
automobiles into the home of Mrs.
Mary Loughran, a widow. whose
house is next to that of Mayor Joe
Adams. an admitted friend of the
Sheltons. and into the home of Gus
Adams, a brother Of the mayor. The
three houses are on adjoining lots.
|. Twenty-six machine gun and other
bullet holes were counted in the
Loughran house and 19 bullet holes
in the Gus Adams house.
Presumably the gunmen had in
tended to fire upon the mayors house.
but were mistaken as to its location.
After one fusillade the gangsters sped
away.
Shelton gangsters, who formerly
made their headquarters at the
mayors home. were driven out of
Franklin County by the sheriff and
States attorney three weeks ago after
the feud between the Birger and Shell
ton factions had become sanguinary.
For a time the sheriff's Office kept a
guard at the mayors house, and he
declared his life had been threatened
by the Birgers.

interest along the way. President
Coolidge arose earlier today than is
his custom. The sun was just coming
up when he walked to the rear plat
form of his observation car. and for
10 or Is minutes he enjoyed the pink
tinted panorama as he stood there in
the chilly air of the morning.
The President appeared in the best
of spirits and physical condition to-
day. His hours of travelling. his hur-
rying about Kansas City. Mo-. and
Kansas City. Kans., Yesterday and
the delivering of his speech at me-
mortal dedicating exercises a. the
former place apparently have had no
i'll effects upon him. Some of his
party had some little apprehension
from the fact that he stood barehead-
ed in the cold air throughout his ad-
dress. He is susceptible to colds in
the head, but fortunately there was
no occasion for such misgivings. judg-
ing from his appearance today and if
his own word is to be accepted.
Praised for Speech.
He not only is feeling we'll and fit.
but is in an especially happy frame
of mind. He had assurances from
various quarters that his Kansas City
speech. in which he so candidly and
directly commented upon ma jor in
ternational subjects. had been we'll re-
ceived. Before leaving Kansas City
he received no end of oral assurances
and at virtually every stop of his
train on his way back home tele-
grams of congratulation and com
mendat1on have been brought aboard.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
finished their breakfast before s
o'clock this morning. They were en-
gagged in this meal when their train
came to a stop at Urbana, Ohio.
There was handful of people at
the station to catch a glimpse of the
distinguished couple. What this little
group Of greeters lacked in numbers
it made up in enthusiasm. At Colum.

persons to wave greetings. The Presi.

waves from the window of their OBJ
servation car.
