of George Martini, former convict
sought for year as an arch terror
list in labor strife, was found last
night slumped over the wheel of an
automobile in a West Side alley.
Martini was shot through the
head and apparently had been over
taken by gang Vengeance as the VIC
tim OF a recent renewal Of warfare
among labor factions, blamed for a
series of bombings. A year ago he
was indicted with several others for
the operation of bomb trust" but
escaped arrest. Fingerprints dis
closed that the fugitive was known
as "Matri Siano" when he was sent
to the penitentiary for killing a man
in 1910. Later he was paroled.
Martini was in car belonging to
a trade association. Beside him was
a pile of large stones and police said

Smuggling Aliens
Continued from Page one)

States. The1aliens, who were most
ly Czechoslovakian and Jewish ma
tionals. were landed in Canada and
kept there a month or two before
the attempt was made to smuggle'
them over the line.
Adab confessed, according to the
inspector, that he was paid $175 for
each alien whom he delivered safe
ly at Boston. Ford said that Adab
was only one of several employees
Of the ring who had been taken this
summer and stated that IL men were
now in custody here awaiting trial
on similar charges.
Customs officials on Wednesday
asked the Rutland police to watch
for two automobiles containing
aliens who had eluded them at the
line in the early morning. The. Rut-
land officers intercepted the cars at
Pittsford, little way north. They
forced Adab to turn his machine
into the ditch where it struck an
electric light pole. Adab and saba,
who was said by Inspector Ford to
be an accomplice, were captured, but
three others in the automobile es-
capped. The other car sped past the
officers. Yesterday Adab paid fines
of SIS in Rutland for automobile law
violations.
Search was maintained all night
on the wooded hills of Pittsford but
no trace was found of the three who
had fed. Yesterday the search was
abandoned. No definite charges will
be Lodge against the two prisoners
until they face the court tomorrow.

because raiders seized, among other
things. an extended list of patrons

which was said to include the names
of many prominent socially and In

Meanwhile q detective sergeant
and a policeWeman are keeping tabs
on two graduate students who are
called ringleaders in the practice OF
holding midnight and early morn

down town. The guests of the oc-
casions are said to be young women
with police records, who bid hasty

police department approach the
scenes of the parties.
So serious were the attentions or
these young women to students re-
garded some time ago that a num-

Maine Gunner to
Try New Wrinkle
At Brunswick Today

Portland, Nov. 19.-Maine gunners
will be introduced to the latest in
novation in trap shooting circles
when a new style Of clay target gum
ming, known in other sections of the
country under the name of "skeets,
is staged for the first time in this
State on the range of the Walter w.
Woodbury. estate in Brunswick, Sat
urday afternoon. The popularity
which trap shooters have accorded
skeets in those places in which 1t has
been tried out threatens to push the
old style of trap cunning into the
discard.
In place of the single trap in use
under the common method of con-
Quoting the sport, the game of skeets
calls for two traps 40 yards distant
from one another. A semi circle con-
meets the two dug outs and this
serves for the firing line for the gun
ners. One trap is built eight feet
higher than the other SO that the
person shooting is accorded a high.
as well as low, crossing target. At
regulation distances along the semi
circle line are located eight firing
positions and the gunner takes three
shots from each of these positions.
1t is optional with the person shoot
ing from which stand the remaining
shot of his IS shot bracket will be
fired.
In addition to varying the angles
of the shots to thus make more diff
ficult the smashing of the clay
pigeons and further enliven the sport,
skeets is said to be less expensive
than the old style.
Saturdays shoot which Is to begin
at o'clock in the afternoon is being
conducted for the purpose of dis
playing the attractive features of
skeets to gunners of this section. A
general invitation is extended to all
trap shooters. A few of the many fol-
lowers of the sport who are expected
to be on hand are Chester Getchell,
Maine trap shooting champion, c. r.
Blaisdell, high average holder among
the State gunners. Arthur Reed of
Portland, John Whitney of Falmouth
and George Sterling of Portland.
Members of the Waterville and
Brunswick gun clubs will also be in
attendance.
