Miliners Featuring Summer Hats With Winter Shows
Rv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 The spring straw hats reached London before the winter snows.
 The new model straws maintain the vogue of the high crown, but hard lines are eliminated by the clever use of fancy effects in straw and the addition of taffeta and rib- bon. Brims are more pronounced whether they droap prettily over the face or turn up turban fashion. A novelty in straw is the bee hive shape with blaclk satin ribs.
 The milliners in popularizing straws are also introducing more colors. Some arg in rose pink, swathed in taffetas others in orange colored straw and interwoven colors.

gunner who yesterday slew one
man and wounded two others as
they emerged from the Club Cadix,

Whether they used a machine gun,
as at first believed, or automatic
pump guns had not been deter
mined today. Many were inclined
to believe the latter were employed.
No one has been found who saw
the slayers and the authorities
were left with only theories to aid
in their investigation. They had
little hope of obtaining any infor-
nation from William Mickey"

mer convict who is believed to
have been the object OF the attack
and who received seven bullet
wounds in different parts of his

and Duffy's bodyguard. was riddled
with bullets. dying instantly, and
Early Brown, negro door-tender at
the Club Cadix and innocent vic
tim of the attack, was shot three
times in the thigh. The negro will
recover.
Physicians told Duffy his chances
for recovery were slight. but, true
to gangster tenets, he steadfastly
refused to reveal the names of his
assailants. His wife, who was with
him at the cafe and who escaped
the fusillade by the narrowest of
margins, also declined to talk.
With two taxicab drivers and Domi-
nick Lynch, who aided in taking
the dead and injured to hospitals,
Mrs. Duffy was arrested as a ma
terial witness. All were released on
bail.
Most OF those working on the
case believe the slayers were men,
bers Of a Chicago gang, which in
cluded former members of the no.
torious Eggers band of the Pacific
coast. Both Duffy and Bricker
were alleged to have given the po-
lice information regarding some of
the Eggers gang arrested here a
year or more ago and Duffy was
said to have known that he had
been marked for Staying. Theories
as to the cause OF the feud differ,
some holding that it resulted from
a bootleg war and others attribut-
ing 1t to a beating Duffy was said
to have administered to a Chicago
gangster In a New York night club
during the worlds baseball series

F|L|BUSTERING IS
BOTHERING S0L0NS
Congress Itself Becomes Weary
Of These Tactics

Washington. Feb. 26 up - Con-
gress is coming into the home
stretch to the accompaniment OF
increasing attempts in the senate to
kill the filibustering habit with clo-
ture and threats of general leg
islative filibuster in the house
which thus far has escaped such
delaying tactics.
Meanwhile, President Coolidge
has hit fast stride in disposing
of those bills that have successful
" squeezed through the legislative
jam and is expected shortly to act
on several others Of Importance.
Three Petitions Already
Three petitions to limit debate
on as many measures are now
pending in the senate, the third
being filed late yesterday by Sen
ator Lenroot, republican. Wiscon-
sin, in an effort to ward off an i'm
pending attack by Senator Nickel
lar, democrat, Tennessee, on the
100000 public buildings bill
Under the rules it cannot be voted
on until Monday.
The other moves to invoke clo-
ture are directed against efforts to
son Boulder Canyon dam and the
Tyson emergency officers retire
ment bills. The johnson petition to
limit each senator to one hours
discussion of the dam bill and each
amendment faced a vote today.
The California senator was doubt
full he could muster the necessary
two thirds majority to invoke the
rule, while opponents Of the bill
and republican leaders had pre-
dicted its defeat.
Failure of this move would prac-
tically kill the chances for q vote
on the bill at this session, since
leaders planned to displace it with
the emergency officers retirement
bill. The vote to apply debate limi-
tation on the latter was to follow
Immediately after that on the
Boulder Canyon petition provided
this is rejected.
More in Prospect
Further filibustering is in pros
rect for the senate if Senator
Reed, democrat Missouri, carries
out his threat that unless his reso-
luton to prolong the life of his
campaign funds investigating COM
mittee, is carried there will be no
business transacted here this ses-
sion." His warning was given yes
terday when Senator Reed, republi-
can, Pennsylvania, objected to i'm
mediate consideration of the reso-
luton, which is now scheduled for
| debate next Tuesday.
Representative LeGuardia, repub.
lican, New York, has served notice
in the house that unless the Boul.
der Canyon dam bill is brought tt
a vote he will delay action on al
