Mussolini Report
Discusses Aspect
Of Catholic Pact

ROME, March 14.-(P)-Political,
religious and moral aspects Of the
Lateran treaty between the Italian
government and the Vatican were
set forth at length by Premier Mus
solini in a report published to-
day.
The report is that which will be
presented the new parliament
April 20 when it convenes to de-
liberate ratification of the treaty
signed Feb. II. 1t propounds in
considerable detail the events and
circumstances leading to the birth
of the Roman question" details
of it's existence through 60 years,
and of its final solution as repre-
sented by the treaty.
One of the most striking points
in the report is the veiled hint
that the new Vatican city state will
not apply for membership in the
League of Nations since, the prem
ier points out, the Vatican city is
recognized as neutral. This, he said,
involves remaining aloof from
temporal competitions" among
states.

Murder On High Sea
Delayed For Funds

HOUSTON, March 14.-(P)-
John B. Fixes, 26, Seaman, was
held without bond in the Galveston
county jail today following his in
dictment by a federal grand jury
here yesterday on a charge of mur-
der on the high seas growing out of
the death from knife wounds of
George A. Leonard, chief steward
on the steamship Endicott, while
the ship was docked at Havre,
France, February /.
II seem to be on a prison in
spection tour" said Fixes as he
left for Galveston. "First it was
the Jail in Havre: the irons aboard
the ship: then iail at Antwerp
when the boat docked there; then
the city Jail here, and now it's
Galveston. So far the best I've
found was on the boat"
Although the government an
nounced ready for trial, Fixes
father, j. 0. Fixes, SO, here from
Tampa. Fla, told Federal Judge
j. G. Hutcheson the family had lit

asked delay until sufficient funds
could be raised.

PRULTT GIVEN
DEATH PENALTY
Jury Deliberates Only sc
Minutes; Slew High
School Student

DALLAS, Tex, March 14.-(P)-A
jury deliberated only 80 minutes
last night before voting the death
penalty for William dagger
Pruitt, Jr., 25, slayer of William
Mann, 18, high school student, the
night of January 6.
Pruitt, alleged perpetrator OF a
zone man crime wave" that dis
turbed Dallas residents over per-
iod of weeks, already was under SO
year sentence for the holdup Of a
drug store several nights before
Mann was fatally wounded.
Pruitts conviction marked the
fourth death verdict returned by
a jury here in recent months, and
clinaxed a determined effort by
county authorities to stamp out
the crime wave here. Pruitt was
wounded twice when he resisted
arrest by officers after they had
beseiged him in the attic Of a
house.
Mann died several hours after
being wounded in the abdomen by
a bandit who forced his way into
an automobile in which the youth
and a girl companion were riding.
The girl identified Pruitt as the
assailant.
Pruitt testified to an alibi yes
terday, asserting he was enroute to
Dallas from San Antonio by bus
when Mann was shot.

WYOMING HELD
in HEAVY SNOW
Colorado, Montana Get Re.
lief From Spell Fatal
To One Person

DENVER, March 14.-(P)-The
snow storm which has claimed one
life, paralyzed highway traffic and
delayed trains and the airmail in
the Rocky mountain region, con-
tinued in Wyoming today although
it had subsidized in Colorado and
Montana.
A dozen towns in wyoming, where
th6 storm was most severe, were
snowbound by the heaviest fall in
several years. Sheridan, near the
Wyoming Montana boundary, re-
ported a three day snowfall left a
blanket 80 inches dep on level
ground. The remainder of the state
was covered by 20 to "a inches.
At Greybull it was feared the
snow, when melted, would cause a
repetition of last Sundays flood that
resulted in damage Of half million
dollars. Streams in that vicinity
were reported to be almost out OF
their banks again.
High winds drifted the snow over
the highways making them i'm
passable. Railroads kept their tracks
clear with snow plows but all trains
were reported delayed. Air mail
service was hampered but the fliers
continued to carry the mail behind
schedule.
One fatality was reported in wy
oming. Henry Folster, 38, of Lar
annie, died of exposure on pasSen-
ger train where he found refuge
after struggling through the snow
for about ten miles after he aband-
oned his stalled motor truck near
Virginia Dale.
