DETROIT, March 28.-The first
machine gun fire in the history of
Detroit's gang war killed two men
and probably fatally wounded an
other as they walked down a corridor
of an apartment building early today.
The machine gun was entrenched
behind a steel fire door. The slain
men are believed by police to be
George Cohen and Joseph Bloom, ad-
dresses unknown.
The third man, taken to a hospital
wounded nearly dozen times, is
Frank Wright, alias Burke, %. of
Chicago. He has been living at a
downtown hotel for several weeks
In his room were found Chicago
newspaper accounts of beer and
gambling feuds In which machine
guns have figured.
Acquaintance Kidnapped.
Wright told Philip A. Neudeck, as
sistant prosecuting attorney. he and
his companions, Bloom and Cohen,
were summoned to the apartment in
Alexandrine avenue to release Fish, !"
an acquaintance who had been kid
naped.
.'As we were walking down the cor
ridor q steel fire door swung open and
three men began shooting at us" said
Wright 1.-THE man with the machine
gun was in the middle and on each
side of him was a man firing away
with pistol
Police believe the shooting Is an
outbreak Of war between rival gam
bling house proprietors of Detroit and
that gunmen from New York and Chi
cago have been brought here to carry
on the feud. The sawed-off shotgun
heretofore has been the favorite
weapon Of gang shootings in Detroit.
Guns Are Found.
In the apartment where the three
| were said by Wright to have been
summoned police found three sawed
off shotguns, a rife and several
cartridges.
According to the building superin.
| tendent, the apartment had been rent
ed several months ago by four men,
Abe and Simon Axler, brothers; Sam
Miller and John Tolzdorf. Police are
| attempting to connect Miller with the
killing of a patrolman at Kent, Ohio,

as to whom they desired named. he
has decided to hold the matter in
allegiance until Gen. Dawes returns
next month.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. (P-Possi- bilities of a move toward four-power naval conference at Geneva with France eliminated loomed with the receipt of the French reply declining the suggestion of President Coolidge The French communication said the American proposals "risk compromis. ing the success" of the preparatory disarmament commission created by the League of Nations and already at work. The Geneva commission, in the French opinion, affords the place where the American proposal can be effectua1ly examined"
 Secretary Kellogg, commenting on the French reply, said there appeared to be several points in it which must be caused by misunderstanding of the full purpose of the Coolidge pro- posals. It seems to me that to post pone to an indefinite future all efforts to grapple with the problem of com petitive naval building would strike a serious blow to the whole cause of disarmament. I very much hope be- fore the Geneva conference is ended the French government lends it's aid toward the consummation of such an agreement"
