CITIZENS COME
TO RESCUE OF
BROKE CHICAGO
Millions Will Bring Relief to
Poor aid Schools;
Politics Scored.
BY MERTON T. AKERS
United Press san Correspondent

CHICAGO. Jan. Chicago
citizens will dig down into their
pockets for S2OO00O00 to save tot
tering city. county and school gov
ernments from immediate financial
chaos, but none Of the millions will
De available for "spendthrifts, wild
financing or pay rolling"
Faced with worldwide unfavor-
able publicity and misery within
sight Of their own homes. citizens
who have made fortunes with the
@rlse OF Chicago from a Lake Mich
lgan swamp have agreed to place at
least S20,000,000 at the disposal of
city officials. but it must go to pay
employees who have been forced to
seek aid from loan sharks. to pay
pensions to mothers and the blind
to keep 100000 children in school
and to heat hospitals and poor
houses.
$2O,O00,O0O to Start
The demands were phraSed more
delicately than that but the mean
ing was clear when the rescue COM
mlttee." made up of leading rich
men headed by SilaS Strawn, inter
nationally known lawyer, an
nounced that the ship of city gov
eminent would not be permitted to
go on the rocks from want of cash.
Instead of the $4,000 900 deemed
necessary by politicians, the COM
mittee decided that 100000 900
would serve as a starter. The money
will be put into tax anticipation
warrants. Names of the men and
firms that came to the aid of the
city were not made public by the
committee nor were the exact
methods by which the money would
be handled, but there was no mis-
taking that the committee would
govern payments.
With the announcement came 3
caustic and slangy statement from
the committee, directed at Mayor
William Hale Thompson. Yale grad
uate, cowboy executive and foe of
King George and Great Britain.
Slap at Thompson
NtIO luuleU Willie Rome DuTneQ,
the statement said but he had
nothing on what certain officials
now are doing The situation is
much like that in China. They are
not concerned with what they can
earn. but what they can borrow.
"Big Bill is attempting to get a
campaign platform out Of the mud
die. He is posing as a friend of the
poor people a~ainst the inroads of
the rich. He thinks it will be more
effective than promising to biff King
George on the srOOt when he comes
sailing down Lake Michigan toward
Chicago"
Strawn added his voice to the
TRADE against politicians when he
said.
THE biggest difficulty we en-
counter in trying to raise money for
the city is the effort to play politics
with the situation. Politicians are
attempting to gain an advantage out
of the desperate financial condition
of the community"

BR United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The shoot
ing of three men aboard the rum

principle almost an exact parallel
Of the sinking of the Lusitania," in

II am neither a wet nor a dry,
Stafford said in addressing wom-
ems meeting. 81 don't care whether
we have light wines and beers or
whether We have everything or
whether we abstain totally. But /

pie who have put this ubiquitous

fought, into the Constitution. 1
want absolute repeal
Spafford, a former naval officer,
also commended the coast guard as

MOVE BY ITALY
VIEWED AS BID
FOR U. S. help
Freedom of Seas Policy
Adherence Is Regarded
Diplomatic Stroke.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press StaH Correspondent

LONDON. Jan. 25.-Italy's IN
formal acceptance Of the American
viewpoint on freedom of the seas
was regarded today In some diplo-
matte circles as a bid for reciprocal
sympathy by the United States for
1taly'S Mediterranean claims.
AS the delegates prepared for
let up IN their activities over the
weekend, with few important con-
ferences scheduled, the two prin-
cipal topics Of discussion were
Foreign Minister Rino Grandi's
radio speech to America, and the
problem of a method by which the
five nations might arrive at limita-
tons OF naval tonnage.
Talked to Stimson
1t was considered significant that
before making his speech, in which
he announced Italy's adherence to
principles already expressed by
President Hoover, Grand spent al
hour and quarter in discussion
with Secretary of State Henry L.
Stimson.
The Italian minister, 1t was be-
neved, is anxious to work closely
with the Americans, seeing an OPP
portunity to contract a working al
lance by which he can drive a good
bargain with France.
Grand already has attracted con-
siderable attention as the baby OF
the conference" and it Is consid-
cred significant that he alone Of the
non English speaking representa-
tiyeS made his opening address at
the first plenary session In thaA
tongue. He learned the langua3N
only last year.
Visit In Country
Stimson is spending the Weekend
at his country place, Stanmore, with
Dwight Morrow and other members
of the American group. Premier j.
Ramsay Macdonald is at Chequers,
his country estate.
In a brief statement Friday, Slim
son cautioned the press against dis
couragement at the lack OF specific
developments, stating that absence
Of information regarding concrete
progress was no sign of @ crisis or
a deadlock, but was due to the fact
that many problems are being con-
sldered and many conversations will
be required before developments be-
gin to assume tangible shape.
The delegates were relieved at the
temporary SurceaSe from the day
and-night round Of conferences, fes-
tivities and spectacles and an oppor-
tunity to rest over the weekend.
