he will vote on the Kellogg peace

to the pact are defeated.
Senator James E. Watson, who

Robinson never has said.
The reservations proposed by
Robinson are similar to those laid

CHICAGO, Jan. 9-The throne of
Chicago's Little Sicily" and a gang
land alliance with "Scarface Al'
Capone proved death warrant for
Pasqualino Lolordo.
Lolordo was shot to death in his
luxurious west side apartment Tues

after his predecessor, Tony Lom-
bardo, was aSSasSinated on crowd
ed loop street.
The newly recognized Malta chief
tain was killed during a conference
with three men, who, police said,
were members of the .Aiello broth
ers' clan which disputes the gang
land rule of Capone and his allies

Lolordo and his brother, Joseph,
who escaped the volley which killed
Lombardo last August, had usurped

Siciliano, Sicilian governing body in
Chicago. Police said Pasqualino
Lolordo was one of twenty-seven
Sicilians seized by Cleveland police
Dec. 5, when they met there, pre-
Sumably to elect Lombardo's success

was elected to the hazardous office
and that his acceptance cost him his
life.
Lolordo represented himself as a
wholesale grocer and olive oil i'm
porter. He often had been questioned
in connection with gang murders
police said, and was known to have
controlled an immense traffic in
alcohol.
He lived on the third floor of an
old frame building. Police arrived

antique furniture and hung with
rare tapestries and valuable art.

an adjoining room and reached her
husband in time to see three men

apartment an hour before, disappear
through door. A maid corrobo-

Planes in Barren North
Country WaStelandS.
BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Hardy sour
doughs who mushed over Yukon and
Klondike trails would have been
staggered by the thought of taking
along a ping-pong outfit to while
away the winter months at their
diggings.
And many a gold-seeker who nom
chalantly braved the perils of roar
ing rivers and rocky trails, billiards
and starvation, would have trembled
at the idea of invading the fast
nesses of the northland in fragile
airplanes.
Yet these things are just what
Captain Charles Sutton and a party
of flying adventures are going to
DO. Sutton, chief pilot, and about
fifteen other aviators and biologists
comprise the field expedition OF
Dominion Explorer, Ltd, syndi-
cate which is hunting gold through
out the Snow-covered stretches of
Northern Canada.
Sutton is in New York to buy adj
ditionai airplanes and supplies.
Hunt Gold With Planes
"There's gold in Canada" he said
There are big deposits of geld in
those rocks under the snow We
expect to find mines as profitable
and maybe more extensive than
those found in Alaska. But the cold
climate and the difficulty of trans
portation have kept anyone from
finding it.
"Our plan is to cover the $4,000
square miles at the top of Canada,
between Hudson Bay and Alaska,
right under the pole in the Arctic
Circle, from the air.
"We will fly over this whole coun-
try, with expert biologists who can
tell by the rock formation where
the gold may be hidden. All country
that locks favorable will be marked
on maps and other planes will take
miners and engineers to these places
to do the actual prospecting.
WasteIand of Rock and Snow
"Air hunting can be done the
year around because the tops of the
rocks always are swept free of snow
Actual prospecting can be done only
between May and November, when
the weather is sufficiently tenn
perate.'
The expedition started last year,
and already has had one year al
the base which was established at
Tavane, about 1000 miles directly
north of Winnipeg, considerably
above Churchill, the last settlement
This country is a wasteland of
rock and snow with no vegetation
All the necessities for life have to
be taken there. Now the party has
seven shacks, built with double
walls to keep out the snow and
dampness.
Ten thousand tons of coal have
been taken up by boat, and gasoline
caches have been established at the
various sub bases. Large supplies
of food, blankets, oil, clothing, and
lumber have been provided.
Millions to Spend
The equipment also includes three
Fairchild planes, a tractor and a
Ford car. This year they will add
two more Fairchild cabin mono
planes.
Sutton was a war time Royal
Flying Corps pilot, has three Ger
man planes officially TO his credit
and years of commercial flying since
the war.
The explorers are a subsidiary
of the Thayer Lindsey mining
group, a syndicate of Canadians
who have enormous capital and are
willing tc put years of work and
millions of dollars into aerial gold
rushing.
