Prominent Italian
And Four of Friends
Die in Balcony Fall .

Naples. Italy. June 16-[P)-Cap-
tain Aurelio Padovani, long promi-
nent in the Fascist movement, and
four of his friends, were killed today
when a balcony from which they
were addressing a group of admirers,
collapsed. Thirty persons were in
jured.
Captain Padovani was founder of
the Fastest organization in Naples
and was one of the most prominent
figures in the early days of the Fas-
cist movement. In May, 1922, he and
a large part of the Neapolitan Fascist
membership resigned in protest
against the admission into the party
Of the Nationalist deputy Rocco.
Premier Mussolini was forced to
go to Naples to intervene in the mat
ter. Later the Fascist of Naples held
a meeting in which an address of
loyalty and esteem was dispatched
to the premier. At the same time the
Neapolitans asked that Captain Pad
ovani be restored as the commander
of the Naples Fascist zone.

SCHALL, SEATED BY
SENATE, TURNS HIS
WRATH ON JOHNSON

Washington, June 16.-(P)- The
senate was stunned today by the i'm
pact of a vitriolic verbal bombshell
fired by Thomas D. Schall, Repub-
lican, who had just been declared
the duly elected junior senator from
Minnesota, at former Senator Mag
nus Johnson, farmer-labor who had
contested his election.
Midway in the reading by a clerk
Of a speech by the blind senator,
following the senate's acceptance of
the elections committees unanimous
report recommending the seating OF
Senator Schall and the dismissal of
the contest, Senator Ashurst, Demo-
crat, Arizona, appealed to him to
withdraw his remarks on the ground
that. "as the years roll on, he will
regret this speech.
Senator Schall, however, declined
to accede and insited upon the clerk
continuing until all but the conclu-
sion had been read. Then he said
he would be Satisfied if the rest,
(which will not take more than a

Senator Schalrs speech said, that
the petition that he was induced to

gone on the stand in substantiation
of the pretended charges. I do not
believe that a man whose morality
is SO blunted that he will allow his
name to be used for criminal libel
is a fit candidate for any Office"
Senator Schalrs speech began by
referring to the contest as the first
move in a ell-thought-out and ex-

plan of malicious character assassi-
