ROTHSTEIN'S DEATH
LAID TO CHEATING
New York Prosecutor Working on
That Theory in Killing of
Gambler.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 18.-District
Attorney Joab H. Banton revealed today
that the police and his office are work.
ing on the theory that Arnold Rothstein
was slain by another gambler for cheat
ing at cards.
Replying to charges by Representative
Fiorello H. La Guardia in his campaign
for mayor that the city administration
has been lax In prosecution Of the
Rothstein case, Mr.. Banton said: -.
New York will be amazed and Will
readily see that the whole Rothste1n
case Is nothing but one gambler killing
another.
"There has been no laxity on the part
of the police and district attorney IN the
Investigation Of the case. I understand
Commissioner Whalen has IL men de-
tailed to locate Hyman Biller, who Is
also indicted with George McManus for
the murder of Rothstein. I believe
Biller will soon be located"
Banton said his ONCE did not wish to
proceed with the trial of McManus be-
fore Biller was arrested, as McManus
could shift the guilt to Biller, then
when he had been acquitted, take the
stand for Biller, admit the murder and
be immune under the double Jeopardy
statute.
Rothstein was shot in the Park Gen.
tral Hotel last November. McManus
after spending several months in jail
was freed under $50 900 bail. Biller was
never caught and was last reported to
be in Cuba.
Mr. Banton denied that any Of the
papers in the case were missing from
his files, as charged by Mr.. La Guardia

MEMPHIS, Tenn. September 1S.-
Miss Georgia Tam, executive secretary
of the Tennessee Children's Home
Society, charged today that colored
inmates of the Settlement Industrial
Home here were punished by being
placed on hot stoves and made to stand
on hot Goals and in hot ashes.
She also said records OF the State
Department of Institutions show ~
children were entered in the school, with
no record of their discharge.

NAVAL CUT PARLEY
INVITATIONS TO Be
ISSUED SHORTLY
London Will Be Site and Late
January Time of Holding
Conference.
FRANCE, ITALY AND JAPAN
IN FIVE-POWER MEET
Premature Reports Said England
Already Had Sent Out Call
for Session.

Invitations to the proposed f1ve-power
naval conference will be issued within
q few days from London.
The invitations will go to France,
Italy and Japan. Great Britain and
the United States have been engaged In
negotiations looking to such confer
ence on armament limitation.
The invitations to the conference will
not be sent out jointly by Great Britain
and the United States, but by Great
Britain.
1t has been suggested in some quar-
ters that the invitations to the naVal
conference would be joint affair, is
sued by this country and Great Britain.
Decision Favors London.
It was learned today, however, on
high authority that the Invitations To
the conference would soon be sent out
and that they would be sent out by the
government in London and lot from
Washington.
The expectation is that France and
italy will undertake negotiations pc
tween themselves regarding the matter
Of naval limitations and their attitude
TO UIl6 pIOpCSSO COAl1CtCANS. AAAN
States and Great Britain have already
gone far along the road toward an
agreement in the matter OF the llml-
tation of auxiliary naval craft, includ-
ing cruisers, destroyerS and submarines.
France and Italy have their own prob
lem to consider in this matter.
They must consider the question OF
naval power in the Mediterranean and
safeguarding their lines of communica-
ton, Another angle to their problem
is that which takes into consideration
the naval power of Great Britain as
it affects themselves and particularly
Britain's naval strength IN the Medl-
terranean.
Farley in January.
The invitations which are to be is
sued will call for a conference OF the
powers the latter part OF January, and
probably in London.
There is no longer any necessity OF
delaying the issuance OF invitations 10
the proposed naval conference, 1t Is be-
lieved. Indeed, If the nations are to
properly prepare for engaging In such a
conference during January they must
have notice within the immediate 1u-
ture.
The cooperation of France, italy and
japan in the conference on naval
limitation is highly essential If the prof.
ect is to be successful. While the United
States and Great Britain have in large
part ironed out their differences over
cruisers, it is well understood that the
other three nations will have important
claims to advance.
