President Also Informed Of Senate
Confirmation of Hughes,

Confirmation of Hughes.
Information regarding the demands
OF the French regarding naval tonnage
as we'll as that relating to the vote in
the Senate yesterday confirming the
nomination Of Charles Evans Hughes
as Chief Justice of the United States,
was received by the President imme-
olately upon his return from the fishing
grounds. The French demands had
been anticipated, but the actual figures
presented by M. Tardieu at London
were somewhat higher than the gener-
Gus estimates supplied the President in
advance by his naval experts The
President last evening also received the
Japanese proposals and they are re-
garded here as distinctly helpful to the
general progress Of the naval reduction
movement.
Mr. Hoover was highly gratified at
the confirmation of Mr.. Hughes. He
made no other comment, however, al
though he Is known to have studied
very carefully the report of the Senate
vote on this appointment. One of Mr..
mowers frSt acts when he gets back
to the White House will be to appoint
a successor to Charles Evans Hughes,
lr.. son OF the new Chief Justice, as
solicitor General of the United States.
Also he must name a radio commission
before February %. as the terms of the
present commissioners expire on that
date. Mr.. Hoover has given virtually
no thought to appointments on this
outing and he has no idea when he will
reach a decision regarding a successor
TO Justice Walter I. Mccoy, who recently
retlred as Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia. How
ever, he will give this matter his at
tentlon soon after he gets back,

sworn in, I was able to bring Col
Calvin Goddard of New York CITY. an
internationally known ballistics expert,
to Chicago.
In the meantime, my investigators
located one Peter Won Frantzius, an
obscure dealer in sporting goods, in
Guiding arms, who testified that he had
sofa several machine guns to a man
oy the name Of Frank THOMPSON, NV
investigators and the Chicago police
later located Thompson, who admitted
having sold several machine guns to
chicago gangsters, including one James
(Bozo) Shupe.
Then came the killing of a traffic
policeman in ST. Joseph, Mich. by a
motorlst. Fingerprint evidence showed,
threw suspicion on Fred Burke. q
notorious gangster, photographs of
whom were partially identified by per-
sons who saw the men coming out of
the North Clark street garage They
SAID ne was the man who wore the
policeman's uniform.
Police Found Burke Arsenal
st. Joseph policemen, raiding the
nome of Burke, found an arsenal of
reviewers, machine guns and detective
/ after the killing.
Col. Goddard took the stand and
resumed that the bullets taken from the
bodies of the seven Moran gangsters
| were the same type of bullets as fred
through the two machine guns found in
Fred Burke's home in st. Joseph. Fur
ther testimony from other witnesses
showed that the two machine guns in
question were sold by Peter Won Fraut-
zlus One was bought by the afore-
mentioned Frank Thompson, who sold
1t to James C'Bozo'0 Shupe. It is easy
TO conjecture that Shupe transferred It
TO Burke through underworld channels.
Inc other machine gun was sold to a
man representing himself to be a sheriff
, OF Williamson County, ILL.,, but who
later turned out to be member of the
notorious "Egan's Rats" gang of st.
Louis. Fred Burke was also known to
have been a member of the same gang.
In the meantime, "Bozo" Shupe was
shot to death in street battle.
Also, two other Chicago gangsters,
Albert Anselmi and John Scalise, mem
oers OF the Capone gang (the gang said
10 nave sought revenge on the seven
Moran gangsters), were taken for a
ride"
Science Indicts Burke.
But Burke was the leader of the firing
squad that killed the seven men that
snowy st. Valentines day in Chicago
| Science proved this conclusively.
| Burke is still at large. but he is the
most widely hunted criminal in the
United States today.
The usefulness of science in solving
murders having effectively been shown
in this case, Mr.. MasSee and Mr.. Olson
raised funds among business leaders of
the city and today we have the endowed
! scientific crime detection laboratory,
operated in conjunction with North
western University and under the lead
ership Of Col. Goddard This is the
first OF its kind in the United States.

The reason why former President

caused debate at the hearing. again was
brought into the argument, Lusk con-
Ceholng that whereas the Commission

because OF its all-incluSive wording the
former President signed the bill after

be operated by anybody. On the basis
OF this statement by Mr.. Stephens

quested that he veto it."

ut could not have been the intention
OF Congress to require an engineer for
the operation of an automatic small
compressor such as is used on the aver
age multiple refrigerating system in
apartment houses" LuSk contends.
III the law Is enforced the way the
engineers insist, it will require the en-
ployment Of three licensed engineers at
about $4,000 year each, or $4,000 a
year additional for the service of men
who would have nothing to do since
these machines operate automatically
II an engineer is required for a re-

BY the Associated Press.


Prohibition Commissioner Doran said
today that the announcement by Pro-
hibition Administrator Campbell in New
York City that. he intended to seek a
paddock injunction against the Manager
Hotel, where agents alleged they pur-
chased liquor. was not an indication Of
a national policy in prohibition enforce

The commissioner said that the bu-
reau's procedure was never to seek pad
lock injunctions against any hotel I'M
less 1t had been definitely proved that
the hotel management was participating
In the law violations.
He said 1t had been found that boot
Logging within hotel generally was
carried on by minor employees and with
out knowledge of the management. Of
ficials of the large hotels, he continued,
always co-operated with the Prohibition
Bureau In preventing violations of the

There was nothing to indicate what
