UNI: ARTH FRESH
ARMS SHIPME
PLOT IN TYROL
Rifles Were Destined
for Fascist Groups

PARIS, June ia fresh attempt
by fascist organizations to supply
arms to similar groups in another re-
gion has been brought to light with
the discovery by the Viennese police
of consignment of military rifles
destined for a Tyrolese arms dealer
named Mattezi.
The consignment, which was
registered as hunting pieces" was at
first allowed to pass thru the East
End station until police discovered the
presence of several hundred modern
army rifles.
Mattezi is being held for false
declaration while the Austrian gov
eminent is going thru the motions Of
an investigation to find out more
about the Tyrolese fascist groups
for which the arms were being
shipped. It is believed that they are
operating against the Austrian gov
eminent for union with Italy.
Central Europe is just recovering
from the alarm caused by a somewhat
similar incident, the discovery at an
Austrian depot Of shipment of arms
from Italy destined for the Hungarian
government.

HIRE WICKE:RSHAM
IN The SOVIET SUIT
Bank of France Would
Like U.S.S.R. Gold

PARIS, June 49, - George w.
Wickersham, formerly Attorney Cen
eral of the United States, has been
employed as attorney by the Bank of
France in its suit for $5,200,O00 in
gold sent to New York by the Soviet
government last February and lat0--
returned to Europe.
The suit Of the Bank of France
merely demands the money and in
terest since March 5, but omits all
reference as to why they claim
the money. This is because that
following the first claim, it was
pointed out that the gold was not the
same as deposited with the Czarist
government by the Bank of France
before the Revolution Then the
bank took the position that it had a
right to any gold from the Soviet
Union.
The suit evidently is intended as
propaganda against the Soviet Union
as the gold has been returned to Mos
COW.

LAKE GENEVA, Wise, June 10
"How many present here have CON
tributed even one dollar for the relief
of the striking coal miners in the btu
minous field?" This challenge to the
avowals Of active interest in Labor
problems made by college students,
was hurled by Jerome Davis of Yale
University, Thursday. More than
1000 students assembled here at the
annual conference of the Students
Association.
Davis, an associate professor of
sociology at Yale, was invited to adj
dress the conference on the relation
ship Of the labor problem to industry
Besides advising students interested
in labor questions to study conditions
in the shops and industrial establish
ments of their fathers, the sociologist
pointed to miners relief as a fruitful
avenue for work and study ''These
miners need help" Davis told his au-
dience, "and anyone interested in the
labor movement will feed them as well
as engage in dispassionate sociologi-
cal study.

 Carries No Parachute
 Col. Lindbergh said he did not carry a parachute on his flight and asserted parachutes were necessary in military maneuvers but not in passenger transporta ton; also they are of no use on the type of plane l am flying. The Spirit of St. Louis is so construct ed that it is possible to land witE- out injury to the pilot or passen- gers in case of necessity. l Da' lieve parachute should be car ried when advisable as it makes for greater safety, but when the gas tank is in front of the pilot he is in little danger of forced landing"
 Future Flight

 Commercial Basis Aviation is on a cOmmerclal basis; is practicable and feasible between the United States and the South and Central American countries, said Col. Lindbergh. He said he saw no obstacle in flying in the tropics that were any worse than those encountered II the United States.
 Col. Lindbergh spoke highly oi his plane saying: "I think 1t ls almost in perfect condition a. though it will be overhauled here.'

 ARE ASSAILED

Wilbur Says Movement Be ing Sponsored for
 Blindfold Fighting

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 14-sAs. sailing the critics of the Admin- stration's Navy building program. Secretary of Navy Curtis D. Wi. our declared they were unwitting- y sponsoring a movement to make
 he Navy fight blindfolded. He
 idiculed those who attacked the
 ost of the program, asserting the
 inc year building program of $470 100000 is $10,000,000 less than the candy bill of the United States in 1925. He also said the women spent $1,0S5, 100000 for cosmetics, adding that if attacks upon the Navy were based solely upon economic grounds it may be differentially suggested there are times when gunpowder is more valuable than face powder.
 Speaking broadly, it may be said the ships planned under this building program constitutes the eyes of the fleet. Those who ig norantly are attacking the pro- gram with view of restraining belligerency of this nation, do not perhaps realize they were trying to put us in a position where in a sense our sailormen may have to fight blindfolded," said Wilbur.
 The Secretary of Navy told the Indianapolis Association and Cred it Men that the program was re- ceiving consideration of the House Committee on Naval Ali fairs and represents an orderly step of development.
 2 WASHINGTON, Feb. IA Rep Fred A. Britten. of Illinois. one of the leaders of the big Navy group, said he will not fight for the building of the Ad- ministration's naval program i1 five years but intended to sup port President Coolidge whose wish is to have no time limit specified.

ALASKA MINE
 CASE HELD-UP
 CIRCUIT COURT
Quiet Title Is Not Granted Because of "Un-
 know" Heirs


 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has refused to quiet tirl, to valuable mining claims in Al aska, part of the estate of tas late Mike Byrne, Alaska miner although lawyers, friends and newspapers have been unable L, find heirs of the estate.
 The Circuit Court declared 1t must guard later claims by heirs yet unknown.
 Byrne was an old sourdough when he died on December 5. 1920, but he left no blood rela- tives. The placer claims and oth- CT mining interests are said to be valuable.
 A petition from the Attorney General of Alaska asking that title to the property be turned over to the Territory, owing to lack of heirs. was denied. The issue was brought before the court on petition of Albert Wi gard, who wanted title to the property owned by Byrne because the executor of the estate failed 10 do certain assessment work on the property in 1924 as required by law.
