GIANT BRITISH
AIR TRUST WILL
COMBINE LINES
Part of Empire War
Scheme

LONDON, Oct. 28.-In reply to
the energetic development Of avia-
ton in the United States and the
control of the United States lines in
South America assured by the goy-
eminent, the British air ministry
has launched a plan to combine all
Of Britain's air lines into one cen
trally controlled trust, in line with
the empire trust scheme proposed by
Lord Melchett as a preparation for
war.
Every form of commercial and
civil aviation will be under this Bri-
fish company, which will have the
support of the government, with the
probable added proviso that in case
of war it would be taken over by
the air ministry.
Captain F. E. Guest, member of
parliament and former air minister,
will be the head of the new COM
pany and the government will sub
sidize the undertaking. All private
aviation clubs are to be included, and
henceforth it will be illegal to main
tain a private air line or airdromes.
Hand in hand with this scheme
the company will undertake the
training of aviators, establishing
training clubs, and will lay down
more than 100 airdromes turnout the
country.

Hold Up Man Contesses
Crime Laid to VQnzetti

Charlestown state prison to appease
the bloodlust of hysterical, anti
radical elements of Massachusetts.
With death sentences the sure re-
suit of such confession, the South
Braintree criminals may never re-
veal their secret.
Outstanding facts in the Silva and
Mede affidavits are:
Gang Planned Holdup.
Frank Silva, member of the Bos-
ton Italian underworld, worked for
a short time in 1917 at the L. @
White Shoe Co. in Bridgewater
Mass. Several months later, al
Jimmy Mede's underworld hangout
Silva, Joseph Sanmarco and Mede
planned the holdup for a haul OF
$4,000 to $4,000. They looked over
the ground several times, but war
interviewed before they could act.
In 1919 Silva and Sanmarco
again met, and talked over the L. O.
White job at Mede's. Two others,
Michael Doggy Bruno and Guinea
Oates, were admitted as confed-
crates. On Dec. "a they attempted
the holdup, bungled the job badly
and were fortunate to escape with
their lives. The four men scattered.
By 1920 Silva had been sent to
Atlanta federal penitentiary on an
other job. Sanmarco had also been
sent there for life on a murder
charge. Doggy is believed to be
serving time in New York prison,
while Oates has disappeared.
Silva, who knew most of the
Italian criminals of Boston, says he
never heard of Vanzetti's name. Sill
vas connection with the Bridge
water crime was known to Fred
Moore, Sacco-Vanzetti attorney, who
went to Atlanta to get Silva to clear
Vanzetti. This he promised to dc
when paroled. Moore also questioned
Mede.
Judge Thayer Implicated.

Webster Thayer and Valley

that he would get no pardon if he
helped Vanzetti, Mede states in his
affidavit. Later Mede promised
Moore to help in the Vanzetti case.

interviewed by Moore.

SOCIAL.
DEMOCRATS TO
DROP CRUISER
Masses Compel Reich
Cabinets Retreat

BERLIN, Oct. 28.-Indications
are that the ocial-democratic cab
met has been forced by mass dem
onstrations and sentiment through
out the country to suspend opera
tons in its naval building cam
paign.
The demonstrations which have
been carried on under the leadership
of the Communist Party of Ger
many, have resulted in tremendous
nationwide outbursts against the
socialist" governments armament
projects.
Action to halt the cruiser building
program will be begun by the So
cialists as soon as they meet in No
vember, the press bureau of the So
cial-democratic party, announced re-
Gently.
While the about-face of the social
democrats on the armament issue is
regarded with considerable sus-
picion in several quarters, especially
among the leaders of the Communist
Party of Germany, it is believed
that no effective action in support
of their original naval program can
be taken by the socialists, in any
case, owing to mass pressure against
il.
Chancellor Mueller last week again
made the excuse, which has proved
useful to him since the original
campaign against the naval build
ing plan started, and stated that
his party was obliged to report the
German treasury in condition to
finance the cruiser building.
Political disagreements between
the nationalists and the peoples
party make it probable that the So
cialists' retreat from armament op-
erations will be passed if it is Of
fered to the Reichstag in the form
of a measure.

derworld pressure, reinforced by
threats from Judge Thayer's en-
ploye, alone defeated him.
The Bridgewater trial of Van
zetti was, as the Outlook asserts,
the first half of the Braintree trial
1t was largely because the state was
able to point to Vanzetti's conviction
OF attempted payroll robbery at
Bridgewater, that he was also held
guilty of similar crime at South
Braintree.
Another Proof.
Callahan, in an analysis of the
two crimes, asserts the Bridgewater
attempt was an amateur affair

fish peddler and a shoemaker but
wasn't. The South Braintree muir
der holdup, in which the criminals

the professional job of experts which
neither of the labor men could pos
sibly have accomplished.
Callahan points to another fatal
flaw in the case against Sacco and
Vanzetti. Although the state con-
tended that two or three other men
participated in the crime, they were
never produced. But it is an invari-
able feature of gang arrests, that

With France Revived

PARIS, Oct. 28.-French business
men are greatly perturbed over the
note from the Washington govern

to grant certain concessions to the
French in relation to tariff duties.
The note came after group of
American treasury agents had made
study of the cost of production of

The situation may lead to political
consequences, since Franco-American
relations are none too good due. to

SOME FALL FOR THIS.

In recent speech Secretary of
Labor Davis said: "This country had
the good luck to be settled by the
hardest workers in the world. Their
big production made us rich. If we
slacken production we will soon be
poor. The white man who does not
want to work is sick. He needs a
dose of medicine, not a dose of the
millennium. When labor loafs, it in
jures labor first and capital last
for labor grows poor today and
capital gets poor tomorrow. But to-
morrow never comes. The capitalist
can turn laborer and raise himself
a mess of pork and beans. The la
borer who does not turn capitalist
and have house and garden for
his old age is lacking in foresight"

SENATE TO Get
DEFY OF SMITH
Committee Report to Show
Trial Was Refused.

BU United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The
Senate primary investigating COM
mittee will report to the Senate
Tuesday that Senator Elect Frank
L. Smith of Illinois declined to sub
NIT himself to committee trial,
authorities on the committee indi-
Gated today.
The committee intends to leave
further action to the Senate, but
most of it's members seem inclined
to vote to GUST Smith permanently
despite his contention that the SEN
ate can have no jurisdiction over
MIN until he is sworn.
If the Senate votes to deprive
Smith of his seat permanently his
friends have indicated he will go
back to Illinois and seek re-elec-
ton in q special election.
The Senate, when it voted to bar
Smith, instructed the committee to
grant him any hearing he might
desire. Attorneys said they could
not accept the committee as a trial
court because Illinois had been de-
prived Of its constitutional repre-
sentation when the Senate refused
to administre the oath to Smith.
The committee has made no de-
ciSion about the case of Senator
Elect Ware of Pennsylvania.

LONDON FEARS
| FLOOD RETURN;
/ LOSS is HEAVY
Thousands Keep Vigil as
( Thames Rises Again;
{ Strengthen bikes.

Bd United Press
LONDON, Jan. 9-Embankments
along the Thames were strengthened
today in an attempt to prevent
repetition of the flood that swept
the city Saturday and Sunday.
Barricades prevented serious dam
age Sunday, although the river was
reported higher than Saturday,
when tremendous damage was done
and at least fifteen persons were
killed.
No overfows had been reported
today, but along the entire course
of the river residents were wary.
Thousands refused to return to their
homes until high tide had feceded
this morning.
The tide Sunday was declared to
have been higher than that which
swept over the city Saturday. J. L.
Welt, Westminster city engineer,
said only the entertainments pre-
vented serious damage.
The worst of the Sunday damage
was at Hammersmith. Easements
were flooded. Furniture floated on
a level with the windows and many
householders were forced to the top
floors of their houses. Water was
running alleyways.
Houses were flooded in Kew and
the water surrounded the ministry
of pensions. The temporary de-
lenses at the birmingham Clubs
polo grounds at Putney bridge, were
washed aside and officials were
forced to flee to safety.
Thousands gathered in all affected
districts to watch the turbulent wa
tiers of the great river. So great was
the excitement that police placed
cordons about all the approaches to
the embankmants, to prevent dis
sister.
Police patrolled the entire affected
area. There were no reports of
pillaging.
The sandbag entertainments,
thrown up hastily after the Satur-
day flood, apparently had prevented
any, considerable damage Sunday.
The first flood had drained into the
Tate Art galleries, destroying many
valuable paintings, has seeped into
the Tower of London, the Houses
of Parliament, Waterloo Hospital
and Woolwich Arsenal. 1t was at
the galleries where the worst of the
damage was done.

The charges were made by Carl

More than 100000 doubtlessly

quashing of the charges" Magee
wrote. He declared he knew three

money came"
None Of the political leaders
