MOTORISTS CAN
FORFEIT BOND

New precinct stations collateral
lists, which permit the station
clerks to accept collateral, were
placed in effect today by general
order issued by Major Henry G.
Pratt.
Under the new system motorists
may elect whether or not they viii
forfeit collateral or go to court
and stand trial.
Station clerks are authorized to
accept their collateral and indicate
on the forms what decision the
motorist has reached.
A schedule of amounts which may
be accepted for minor infractions Of
the regulations has been sent to
each precinct station.
1t is believed that the new system
will save considerable time. Of
ficers otherwise would be compelled
to spend a large part OF their time
in court waiting for violators vino
fail to appear for trial.

DOCTOR 'SDEATH
LAID To GANG
VENGEANCE
GLADYS HANKS

!. CHICAGO, April 25 1.N.s.)-
Gang vengeance obtruded today
as a plausible motive for the mur.
der Of DR.. Frank L. Brady, dentist,
who was shot last night in his
west Side office.
Investigators have unearthed DIR.
Brady's former alliance with the
Midget" Ferneckes robbery gang.
credited with several killings and
with raids which netted loot of
hundreds OF thousands of dollars.
Two gunmen burst into Bradys
West Side office last night. A
woman patient was reclining in an
anteroom after q treatment. DR..
Brady had just extracted a tooth
for q man.
Shot In Chest.
Eve got you at last" cried one
Of the arrivals.
Two bullets entered the dentists
chest and he died instantly.
In the belief DIR. Brady was en-
gagged in disposing of huge quanti-
ties Of bonds stolen by the Fer
nekes band, police admitted his
telephone wires had been tapped
constantly.
Brady was arrested in 1925 in q
roundup Of the Fernekes despera-
does. A. raid on the home of
Brady's mother. Mrs. Anna Beau
champ, disclosed a veritable ar
senal. Machine guns, shotguns, re-
volers and bombs were discovered
hidden between the wall.
Mother q Suicide.
Rather that testify against her
son regarding many crimes and the
proposed holdup of a Loop bank,
Mrs. Beauchamp committed sui
eide.
Fernekes, the dimunitive leader,
and fellow gangsters were sent to
prison. but Brady won freedom for
lack Of evidence.
One theory is that Brady be-
trayed the gang in disposition Of
some Of the loot.
He was so years old and mar
ried.

FINAL BATTLE
ON REBELS

MEXICO CITY, April rs Q.N.S).

decisive conflict of the 1929 revo-
luton began over a seven-mile front
in southern Sonora at dawn today.
Twenty thousand men-12,O00 fed
erals and 5000 rebels-are engaged.
Following an exchange Of volleys

advanced upon the rebel works
under cover of an artillery barrage.
Federal cavalry under General
Talamante began a thanking move
ment against the regeHs east wing.
Insurgent entrenchments extend
from Maciaca, seven miles eastward
to San Antonio. Immediately at
daybreak the federal division Of the
northwest, under Gen. Lazardo Car
denas, moved forward against the
rebel forces commanded by Gen.
Roberto Cruz. ...
A storm of shells was thrown
against the rebel works and against
the artillery positions behind the
rebel front.

NOGALES, Sonora, Mexico, April
25 u.N.S.).-Rumors were prevalent
here today concerning an engage
ment Of federals and rebels in the
vicinity of Masiaca, although
neither the government nor insur-
gent sources would give any intima-
tion as to the extent of the battle
or the results.
Rebel cavalry commanded by GEN

the rebels in checking an impending
assault by troops under Gen. Juan
Andreau Almazan, who, it is re.
ported, win try to storm the en-.
trance into northern Sonora.
Government airplanes bombed the

Married Teachers
Va. Schools

LURAY, Va, April 25.-Opposi-
tion to employment of married
school teachers in this county has
been voiced by a patron OF the
county, who in a printed state
ment has decried the practice Of
giving the pick Of schools to
married teachers whose husbands
make money enough to support
them and can afford cars besides"

for the 1929-30 sessions shows the
Luray High School to have six
married women teachers and one
widow on the list; at Stanley,
three married women on the

BEFORE
JURY

GENEVA, ILL.,, April 2S
N.S.).-Deputy Sh eriff
Pearle Peck, of Kane county,
one Of the men who engaged
in the raid In Aurora which
resulted in the killing Of Mrs.
Lillian De King, reported to
Sheriff Urch today he had
been fired upon last night as
he drove over his patrol route.
The bullet, he said, was DETECTED
by the frame of the windshield.
Peck said he did not know who
fired the shot.
Meantime, the grand jury here
prepared to resume its sessions Of
inquiry into the killing of Mrs. De
King, dry raid victim, and also the
entire question of proper or Inn
proper methods in the conduct Of
county dry enforcement.
States Attorney Carbary turned
all the records of his office to the
grand jury.
Witnesses Called
Several witnesses whose identity
was closely guarded were ready to
appear before the grand jury today
to testify in the investigation into
the killing of Mrs. De King.
These mystery witnesses" 1t was
rumored, were to be interrogated
concerning alleged sales Of wine in
the De King home in Aurora.
If" declared Joseph De King,
husband of the slain woman. "any
such evidence as that is given, it
will be perjured evid> ce-dastardly
evidence.
But I wouldn't be surprised to
for lies would not hesitate to buy
some grand jury witnesses who
would help them clear their skirts.
Boy Sticks to Guns
Counsel for the De King family
today heatedly described the treat
ment OF De King and his 12-year-old
son, Gerald, by the grand jurors as
obviously an attempt to justify the
shooting through insinuations that
the boy wa. a fabricator and the
father a bootlegger.
Little Gerald emerged from the
grand jury room on the verge OF
tears, declaring: 'They didn't seem
to care how mamma got killed. They
wanted to get me mixed up in what
was saying. They tried to get
me to say daddy was bootlegger."
The boy said the jurors endeavoreo
to p .Lsuade him to say his mother
was shot accidentally by Deputy
Sheriff Roy Smith after the young.
ster had shot Smith in the leg.
Hand.picked Facts
But they couldn't get me mixed
up Gerald said. ''Only they sort
of scared me the way they were
going after me-
Attorney Albert ]. Kelley, rep
resenting the De Kings, charged
that pertinent information Is being
withheld from the grand jury.
It looks" he said, "as though
| this grand jury investigation viii
bring out only a hand-picked set
of factS-only such circumstances
the divulgence of which viii be
satisfactory to certain individuals"
The inquiry is in charge OF
States Attorney George D. Car
barry. It was an affidavit signed
by Eugene Boyd Fairchild, ''$5.
a-case" investigator in the employ
of Carbary, that led to the raid
in which Mrs. De King was killed.

PARITY IN
ANY GUT
IS HELD
VITAL
international News Service


Any new naval agreement,
growing out of the discus
sions before the League of Ma
tions, must provide absolute
equality between the United
States and Great Britain or it
will meet rejection by the
Senate, it was indicated today.
The American overture, made
Through High 8. Gibson at Geneva,
met with general approval among
Senatorial leaders, but all groups
were agreed that the final accord, II
any is reached, must provide parity
bAtween the American and British
aavies.
The old irreconcilable group joined
with their ancient foes, the League
Of Nations advocates, and the World
Court adherents, in affirming ths
American position.
King Dissents
The lone dissenting voice was
raised " Senator King CD OF
Utah, q little navy" leader VINO
declared parity should not be an
Issue in any naval disarmament
agreement. King, however. has long
maintained this stand in his little
navy battles, only to go down Il
defeat in the Senate.
While approving the American
overture, Senatorial leaders hello
the belief that foreign governments
ara not ready yet for further dis
arnanlu MT, but that publicity on
the American offer may force q
auccessfuI conference in the near
futur due to pressure upon the
governments by world opinion.
The irreconcilabIe camp part1cu-
iarlv advocated a naval parity be-
tween the United states and Great
Britain. Senator Moses (Rl Of New
Hampshire, who succeeded Senator
James A. Reed D.) of Missouri. as
leader the bloc, had this cryptic
statement: I'm for parity"
Senator La Toilette (R.) of Wis
eonsin. another irreconcilable, en-.
larged t-pon the bloc's attitude.
Nothing But Parity
''I feel it was a very statesman
like declaration of the administra-
fion's position and should afford
basis for genuine disarmament
among the great naval powers. In
my Judgment, it expresses the
hopes of the great majority Of the
American people"
Senator Arthur r. Robinson (R.l
Of Indiana, another 1rreconcilable,
added: I'VE must have absolute
parity too between the United States
and Great Britain. We will take
nothing less. We will make any
sacrifices necessary but SO too must
Great Britain Nothing but parity"
Senator Nye R) Of North Dakota,
still another irreconcilable, said:
''In keeping with my prophecy dur.
ing the cruiser debate, there has
been another disarmament proposal.
1t can't come, too soon. The dis.
armament agreement, however,
must leave the United States upon
O parity with Great Britain"

NIX-UP IN PUG.
A MISTAKE

What at first appeared to be dis
agreement between Corporation
Counsel William W. Bride and Ralph
B. Fleharty, Peoples Counsel, in re-
gard to the right of public utilities
to hold stock in other companies in
the same or different lines of busi-
ness today turned out to be mis-
take all around.
In an opinion handed down last
night Bride expressed the opinion
that companies in the public utilities
business had no right to hold stock
in other companies, and indicated in
his opinion that he and Fleharty
were in opposition.
Under date of March the Peo.
pies Counsel handed down an opin-
ion to the Public Utilities Commits
sion in which he held that no public
utility has the right to own stock or
bonds of another company either in
the District or out of it. He based
his ruling on the act of March 4,
1913, which created the commission.
Constructions
The act, which can be construed
in two ways, in one part states that
q public utility can own stock in
another utility company If given
permission by the utilities commits.
sion.
In the other section, the act
states that such holdings are illegal
and in direct violation of the anti
merger law. Both Bride and File.
he vs&Ny
act which prohibits such purchases
Of stock and holdings.
In the present case, it was shown
that the Washington Railway and
Electric Company holds $31, 900
worth of stock of the Chesapeake
aud Potomac Telephone Company,
and the Capital Traction Company
owns $4,000 worth of stock in the
Georgetown Gas Light Company.
Court Action Seen
The companies are, however, TAX
ing a contrary view to that of the
Corporation and Peoples Counsel,
and contend that under the pro.
vision Of the act before mentioned
the commission can give them au.
thority to own stock in utilities
other than their own.
In a recent court decision the
Washington Gas Light Company
was successful in being permitted
to own stock of the Georgetown
Gas Light Company.
The present case will probably
be taken to court by the District to
compel the companies to dispose of
their holdings and will, no doubt, be
bitterly contested.

In this. day in which aviation
holds the foremost place in cur
rent history when records for dis
lance and endurance arc broken al
most hourly, no one darCS a proph-
esy as to what a day may bring
forth. Air machines encirclc the
globe in less time than even the
visionary Verne predicted. They
have remained in the air in contlnu-
Gus flight for more than four hun
dred hours; even now air machines
are winging their way into remote
parts of the world in search OF new
discoveries, and as true Americans
we hasten to acclaim those who add
to the laurels Of aviation, yet VIC are
prone to forget the two who, more
than a quarter of century ago,
made our present day achievements
in the air possible.
The very machine that made the
first flight in the history OF the
world. an outcast from the land OF
it's birth, remains in Kensington,
England. 1t is not that the WrlghtS
are unhonored or that their honor
is unsung; the names, Wilbur ana
Orville Wright, are written in the
archives of history, names that tlmc
itself cannot erase. 1t is not that
they ask recognition, the fact that
they accomplished what they set out
to do is all the reward they cared
for.
The purpose then of this article
is not to criticiSe but to remind the
fellowmen of Wilbur and OrVllle
Wright that the proper recognition
of their efforts in creating ne"
epoch in the worlds progress has
not been given. In the rapid treno
of daily events, particularly those
concerning aeronautics, we have
been too busily engaged in keeping
up with present day conquests OF
the air to give thought to the tWc
men who on September II, 1900 al
