aid Of the police detail at the hotel
and a number Of communists were
taken away in patrol wagons.
Police commandeered q taxtcab to
carry other communists to q nearby
police station. One taxicab was al
most captured by the mob, which
leaped upon its running boards.
While the battle was at Its height,
the business of the federation con-
vention continued uninterrupted, al
though some Of the more curious DEL
egates watched the struggle from
balcony windows.
Use Clubs Freely
During the melee, police used their
clubs freely. Mounted police arrived
a few moments after the trouble be-
gan and were particularly effective
against the militant communists.
A number of women were included
in the communists ranks ana their
screams added to the general confus-
ion. All traffic on Trement street
at this point was paralyzed and q
crowd of several thousand filled the
street.

quot mills at Salem, Mass, at the
session today, discussed conditions IN
the cotton industry In the north and

ships, the New Mexico, the Misstssap-
pi and the Idaho. with estimated en-
ployment of 5000 men.

labor's efforts to obtain a radio sta
ton was passed without opposition.
William Green, president OF the
American Federation OF Labor, ex-
pressed regret at the disturbance.
II am sorry it occurred" he said.
However, it was an exhibition Of
the fixed policy of the communists
in America to deliberately incite vio-
lence, street uprisings, and to arouse
feeling and passion.

group received its orders from Mos

PACT FATE
RESTS ON ITALY
Wave of Optimism GreetS
Sudden Moves.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Times staff Correspondent

LONDON, April 2.-Fate of the
five power naval limitation treaty
now appears to be up to Italy.
The clever and resourceful Pre-
mier BRAND is understood to have
found a formula within the Locar-
no treaties and the covenants of the
League of Nations which will satisfy
both France and England and
Franco-British conversations pro-
ceeding today are believed to have
switched from security to French
tonnage reductions.
Thus with the suddenneSs of a.
chameleon changing it's color, the
whole complexion of the conference
has undergone a complete transfer
nation.
Conflicting reports fill the air. but
in official British and French cir
Giles more optimism now is appar-
ent than has been observable for
weeks.
If the Italians can now be brought
into the picture drafting of the five
power treaty might begin almost at
once.
But there's the rub. The Italians
are determined to demand parity
with France.
Thus far every effort to induce
them to alter their position one iota
has met with utter failure.

MAYOR SHOOTS EDITOR
TO DEATH ENDING LONG
FEUD; TAKES OWN LIFE


The Readers Forum of The
Times, on the editorial page,
will not be open TO debates by
political candidates, their adj
herents and opponents during
the coming campaign. 1t is
felt that this will lead merely
to endless argument, crowding
out more important commu1i-
cations from Times sreaderS.
Also, this newspaper again
wishes to call attention OF its
readers to the fact that letters
of more than two hundred
words rarely can be printed in
the Forum. no matter how i'm
portant their content. Several
especially good letters have
been omitted recently. owing
to their extreme length.
If your letter is too long, you
keep your friends from ex-
pressing their opinions. We
welcome letters from our read
ers. but make them short.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO April "A knotted
length of black ribbon was laid
away today with a marriage booklet
embossed with orange blossoms, a
dance program or two and a faded
rose in the keepsake box of Reuben
G. Helsing to become the most
poignant memento of his brief mar
ried life, and probably the only
clew to the murder Of his bride.
A stranger, bent on robbery,
whipped the ribbon about the throat
of Mrs. Mildred Helsing, 26, as she
sang at her housework Tuesdav eve
ming.
Who the killer was and how he
entered were questions still unan-
swered by police, although they had
a Negro janitor in technical Gus
tody.
The 28-year- old husband, an au-
ditor for the Western Electric Com
pany, employed at the Cicero plant
hurried home from work, expecting
the welcoming kiss that had marked
each evening of the eighteen months
since he and the pretty stenographer
had been married.
Body Found on Floor
1t was the home coming time of
day in the 120-f1at west side apart
ment.
Savory smells of food roasting in
oven and stewing in pot came over
transoms.
Voices of children mingled with
those of busy housewives and hus-
bands glad to be home from the
days grind.
Helsing bid CHEEKY 80 long to
Halam Robinson, fellow-worker
who had ridden home with him on
the street car, and walked up to
his third floor apartment.
He opened the door. His wife
was not there tc greet him and the
apartment was dark and strangely
still. Surprised, he switched on a
vestibule light. On ne floor. hud-
died under blanket from his own
bed, lay the body of his wife.
Purse Was Missing
He lifted her to a sofa and severed
the ribbon with scissors. Water
dashed in her face did not revive
Mrs. Helsing. When DR.. Claude
Weldy arrived, he said she was dead
and had been at least an hour.
No criminal attack had been
made. The gay colored house dress
was not in disarray and pins we're
in place in her hair. Her slippers
lay several feet distant. as if they
had been kicked off in a brief
struggle.
Apparently the killer had surprised
Mrs. Helsing at her household tasks
before she had started the evening
meal. A pan of sudS and a bundle
of soaking clothes were in the sink.
A purse containing SIS was miss
ing and that was believed the total
loot obtained.
Prisoner Denies Guilt
George Riley, Negro. who collected
garbage in the apartment house,
was held for further questioning.
He had denied knowledge of the
murder and neighbors said there
was nothing suspicious about his
actions when he called at their
doors late Tuesday.
A pasteboard book of matches
Identical with one found in the
Helsing apartment was among his
effects, however.
