Leland, who said the man had presented q bill for S150 which MT. Leland docs not owe. According to the police.

 A key to a. room in the Hotel Gard, New Haven, was found on La plante, and he said it had been giv- en him by d man named W. F.. Dunn to mail back to the hotel.

NOT
TO 'CHANGE The
ITALIAN SENATE
300 Fascists to Rule the
Chamber of Deputies

ROME, Oct. 2S-Facing opposition
by the big industrialists and royalists
to the scheme proposed by his aid.
Rossoni, to abolish the present Italian
senate and create new one by ap-
pointing selected members of fascist
labor unions and employers organiza-
tions, Mussolini has decided to leave
the senate as it is for the present and
carry out the idea principally In the
lower house-the chamber of depu-
ties.
By this plan 300 members of the
chamber of deputies will be chosen
nom among fascist labor leaders and
employers. corporations. The rest OF
the deputies, below so per cent, would,
under the dictator's scheme, be elect
ed on ballot with two lists, the fas-
cist party and the opposition, with
the usual terrorism of any who dared
run on or vote for the opposition.
Rossoni, a renegade anarcho-syndi-
calist, is now secretary of corpora
tions, the Office binding fascist labor
unions to the employers. His plan
was not approved by the Industrial
lists and Mussolini because it was felt
that inexperienced. men could not take
over the senate. Mussolini aims to
appoint selected ones to the senate
after they have shown themselves
strongly fascist in the chamber.

HaIy'S Play for Syria
and SyriG'S Revolt

THE furious pace at which Italian
L Imperialism is developing is again
indicated by the report, reliably given
in the Journal de Genevois, a paper
close to the league of nations affairs,
that the approaching conversations Of
the French foreign minister, BRAND,
with Mussolini will take up the ques-
ton of transferring the mandate over
Syria, given to France in 1920. to
Italy. In return Italy is to renounce
all claims to Morocco and Tunis. the
north African reserve of French i'm
perfalism.
Whether or not Italy secures the
mandate over Syria, it is certain that
the Italian-inspired demand of Spain
for Tangiers has thrown France into
Frenzy of fear at the prospect of a
loss of position In the Mediterranean
and a strengthened rival in north
Africa. The tremendous reserve of
man power for its army-which IS now
the largest in Europe, If not in the
world-that Is afforded by the 49,.
100000 inhabitants of French colonies
In north Africa, who gave 100000 col.
ored troops to France in the world
war and who compose an ever greater
proportion of its armed troops, Is not
a light matter for France. And, in ad.
dition, there is the wealth OF mineral
resources, especially in Morocco, to
be considered.
TT would not. therefore. be improb-
4 able that France would think Of
handing Syria to Italy in return for
other assurances. This is all the more
possible when the continued develop
ment Of tho revolutionary movement
In Syria Is held in mind. French poll.
cies In Syria have been anything but
successful. The rebellion OF the Die.
bel Druzes is by no means liquidated
The former high-commissioner. NJ. de
Jouvenel, has been recalled and an.
other French colonial dictator. NJ. Pom.
sot, put in his place And still the

KELLOGG SENDS
SECRET THREAT
TO NICARACUANS
Ignores Treaty to Aid
Dictator Chamorro

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Secretary
of State kellogg refuses as yet to
make public the instructions he sent
to Corinto, Nicaragua, to the Amer
lean minister, who has tried to me-
date between the Chamorro military
dictatorship and the rebel liberal
forces, who demand that Vice-Presi-
dent Sacasa be returned to power in
accordance with the decision at the
last election in the republic.
Reports from Corinto are that KEEL
logg warned the liberals that they
must not receive further shipments of
arms from Mexico. The liberals
broke up the parley, saying that with.
out supplies Of war materials they
could not restore constitutional gov
eminent.
Ignore Treaty Obligations
Kellogg and President Coolidge are
caught between their solemn treaty
obligations to refuse recognition to
the Chamorro regime-because It is
based on military seizure of power
and their anxiety lest the liberals
shall cooperate with Mexico in ex-
tending the moral leadership Of radi-
cal Mexico to the southwark.
If Chamorro carries out his scheme
of appointing Adolfo Diaz, former die
tators, to the presidential Office, the
liberals and the Mexican adherents Of
their cause will fight on.
Restore Constitution With Guns.
Kellogg cannot fairly refuse recog-
milton Of Sacasa's government if it is
finally established, because 1t is the
restoration Of constitutional author
ity which was recognized by the
United States before Chamorro's coup.
