ROTHSTE|N TRUNK
WILL Be INSPECTED
Status of Three Wealthy Men
Whose Names Appear in
Records Is Sought.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 12-Federal
investigators of Arnold Rothstein's con-
nection with narcotic smuggling today
were seeking to determine the status
of three men of wealth whose names
were found among the slain gamblers
records.
The names of the three men were
not divulged, but Federal agents said
the records indicated they were fnan-
cial hackers of the drug ring with
Rothstein.
The records of the slain gambler
have already led to the seizure of
$2.500,00O in illegally held narcotics.
Another trunk full of papers and
memorandum today awaited a detailed
inspection by the Federal men.
Survey Disappointing.
The trunk, they said, was taken
secretly from the room in the Park
Central Hotel where Rothstein was
shot the night of November and
stored in a warehouse. It was fastened
with seven locks. A quick survey of
its contents, Assistant United States
Attorney Blake said, had proved some
what disappointing, but he intends to
make further study of them.
The impounded records which the
county grand jury examined while ii
was inquiring into Rothsteins affairs
have been released to Federal author
tiles, and are to be presented to the
iVVT-v xxytNf lrno l.
much information regarding Rothstein's
connection with the narcotic ring.

YOUTH, 16, CRAzED,
HOOTS9OFF|CERS
200 Chicago Policemen and
Firemen Finally Break Bar
ricade and SIay Him.
Ru thu Arsncintad Praee

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December IA 16-year-
old colored youth today shot and wound
ed nine policemen, among them Deputy
Commissioner Martin E. Mullen, before
more than 200 policemen and firemen,
using shotguns, pistols, tear bombs and
machine guns, succeeded in breaking
into a building where he had barri-
caded himself and killing him.
The crazed youth, Ernest Whiteurst,
staged one of the most protracted bar
ricades in the history of the Police De-
partment. with policemen firing on the
building in which he made his stand
from adjacent buildings, telephone poles
and even from ladders. When finally
cowed Whiteurst had Is bullet wounds
in his body. He lived two hours de-
spite his injuries.
Three sisters, one a year-old baby,
and two brothers of the boy were in
the house with him throughout the
siege. BY huddling in an inside room
they were able to escape most of the
effects of the tear bombs thrown
through the shattered windows. When
the siege was over and they came out
of hiding all were nearly white from
the plaster Clipped from the ceiling of
the room by police bullets.
Whiteurst threw brick through a
store window and the police pursued
him into his home In North Townsend
street.
Obtaining shotgun in his home, the
negro turned on his pursuers, wounding
Policeman Edward Fontaine.
Relnforcements were summoned
Then for five hours the police using
steel shields, machine guns riot guns
tear bombs and streams of water, tried
unsuccessfully to dislodge the boy, who
fired with pistols and the shotgun. The
police finally broke into the building at
dawn and cornered him in the bath
room. He was shot down as he at
tempted to shoot several officers.
The wounded policemen were suffer
ing mostly from minor buckshot wounds
although the condition of one or two
was considered serious. Deputy Com
missioner Mullen, directing the attack
received a charge of buckshot in his
ear and neck.
Smashed Restaurant Window.
The window. smashing was the result
of a grudge borne by the boy and
two companions against a restaurant
Two weeks ago they threw a brick
through the restaurant window, and
repeated last night.
Entrance of the police into the fiat
was dramatic. For four hours they had
tried to enter by subterfuge, but at
last made bold assault on the front
door. They were unable to break it
down, then suddenly it was opened for
them by the youths crippled sister.
Twelve feet ahead the police saw the
boy in the bathroom, shotgun across
his knees. He whipped up the gun
to fire, but 1t jammed. simultaneously
every policeman in the squad fired at
him.
Police started to take his body to
the morque, only to find that he was
still breathing, and lived for two hours
despite the fact that / of the IS bull
let's struck him squarely In the middle
of the forehead and emerged at the
base of the skull. The boys 23-year-old
sister said that the youth thought he
was being besieged by burglars.

PLANS TO CLARITY
WEIGH ACT intent
LehIbach Measure Seeks to
Define Workers Included
in Benefits. 4
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The pay relief bill which Chairman
Lehlbach of the House civil service
committee will introduce in about
week is really to be clarifying
measure rather than what is generally
understood as an amendment Of the
Welch act. Its principal feature will
be to make a plain statement Of the
congressional intent as to who should
be included in the benefits. This re-
lieves the fears of large number of
Government workers that under the
Forthcoming measure they might lose
the increases that have already been
granted to them. and meets the OBJ
jections of Representative WEIGH,
sponsor of the present law. that there
should be no curtailment of the
benefits already granted. -
In making clear the intent Of Con-
gress, Mr.. Lehlbach's relief measure
will carry three outstanding proposals:
First. making plain what is meant by
the relative position" clause. regard
ing which there has been a wide diver
gence of opinion and an important
ruling by Controller General McCarl.
This should show the appropriate place
under relative position of those who
do not benefit now or benefit only
about one-half as much as was in
tended
Second, that in some departments
for example, the Navy Departmental
Veterans Bureau-a large number of
beneficiaries were deprived of the bene-
fits due to administrative action in de-
laying the date from which the increases
should be paid. although the effective
date of the act was july 1. 1t is in
tended that these employees shall be
paid the increases for the period the
Law provided.
Retroactive Feature.
Third, retroactive feature for pay
ment of the increases intended by Con-
gresS to all who have not received them,
some having been entirely left out
as, for example, field employees of, the
War Department-and others receiving
$50 a year, more or less than the law
intended. 1t is proposed that all of
these increases shall be paid in full
from July last.
Chairman Lehlbach is continuing his
conferences with Government officials
and others who know most about the
opeAdlloH VI Tie C4dSSlllCdIlOn aCC as
amended by the WEIGH salary increase
bill, but already he has sufficient data
on which to base the relief, or "clari-
tying measure, as stop-gap legislation
until the entire salary system can be
put on business-like basis as result
OF the Personnel Classification Boards
report due next month, covering the
entire Federal service, both in the field
and the departmental service in WASH
ington.

THE SPIRIT OF ARMISTICE DAY

Had we of the present time lived at other epochal events in the worlds history would know now by comparison, the deeper meaning of Arnistce Day.
 Imagine if you can, what rejoicing must have succeeded World War; Other conflicts have meant the birth of new nations, the establishment of systems of gov ernment and new algnments in international thought and policy But the Amstice of 1918, hope brought to close the interest and profit in of aggression ended belief in the principle of armed superiority and taught the nations lessons in efficiency and preparedness Day-tomorrow-we find it's celebration an almost universal custom But to interpret the word armstice literally would be to define it temporary cessation ot hostltes by mutual agreement. This is not enough There must be n the ceremonias of this day spirit of permanent peace Without such understanding and ap- plcatlon to the of lasting truce Arnisce be- comes but pause resting place and period between bloody contests.

Attorney General Arthur L. Gill
liom is the latest official to be ap-
pealed to by Thomas H. Adams,
Vincennes editor and candidate for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor, to carry on the political probe
and make a clean breast of Steph-
ensoniSm in the State"
Adams today sent a letter to Gill
liom urging that he bring all the
evidence together in the name Of
the State and make it public. He
cited the part he (Adams) played in
instituting the probe and then cited
the statement of Prosecutor William
H. Remy that the various Marion
County grand jury investigation had
disclosed political intrigue that was
not equalled anywhere"
The letter pointed out that the
writer had urged a special session OF
the Legislature and failed and that
he now appealed to Gilliom to bring
all the evidence to light.
