BpUnitcd Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June "a notorious
gang chieftain and five other hood
lums were missing today, gangland's
"armorer" lay dying in Rockford,
Ill, hospital, and the body of Chi
cago's most cruel" gangster was in
the county morgue pending an in
quest.
The tenth victim of gang guns in
as many days was shot to death
early today on the far west side as
he walked homeward putting
cigaret.
A minor hoodlum and slugger
since 1917, Aloysius Kearney, was
shot a half dozen times, once in
the head and several times in the
breast. Apparently his assassins
rode in an automobile.
The body was found by residents
as a cigaret stub burned the fingers.
Police Are Aroused
These weekend developments,
aroused police to new efforts TO
prevent further gang killings.
The missing gangsters were re-
ported to be George Bugs Moran,
Scarface AL Capone's foremost
enemy; Leo Mongoven, Moran's
principal bodyguard; Willie Higgins,
Bonnie Bennett, Robert Dutch
Schmidt and Ted Newberry, all OF
whom may have been put on the
spot" and murdered by Capone gun
men, police believe.
Frank r. Thompson, seller OF
machine guns to gangsters and once
accused of having supplied the ma
chine guns used in the st. Valen-
tines day massacre of seven Of
Moran's henchmen, was wounded,
probably fatally, Sunday.
Wound Streamed Blood
Thompson drove his car up to a
filling station in New Milford, ILL.,,
Sunday night and called out, as
blood streamed from a wound near
his heart, for the attendant to get a
doctor.
When sheriff Harry Baldwin att
tempted to question him, Thompson
said:
Listen, Harry, I've seen every
thing, done everything, and got
everything, and you're smart enough
to know I won't talk even if I am
dying"
The body of Eugene (Red Nc
Laughlin, 26. bearing marks of tor
ture and weighted with railroad
angle irons, Saturday was brought
to the surface of drainage canal,
by the churning propeller of pass
ing tug boat.

FORMER LIQUOR
CHIEF Gets JOB
FifieId Names Franklin to
Auto License Post.

Secretary of State Otto G. Fif1eld,
who last week was nominated by the
Republicans to succeed himself, to-
day announced the appointment of
Harry M Franklin, one-tin1e pro-
fessional leader of the wet" forces
in Indiana, to a newly created post
in the automobile license bureau.
Franklin recently has served as
director of the Indianapolis safety
council and will be placed in charge
of safety work Of the department,
Fifield said.
In 1927, Franklin was employed
as representative of the Association
Against the Eighteenth Amendment
and tried to get bill through
the legislature allowing medicinal
whisky.
He abandoned his wet leadership
when the association failed to OBJ
tain funds in Indiana, he once de-
clared.
A veteran of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, Franklin at one time was
captain in the Indiana National
Guard and is known as Captain
Franklin"
He received appointment to a
captaincy in the indianapolis police
department, after some years service
from 1909, and this gave him double
claim to the title.
He was director of the safety
council from 1928 until this year.

the investigation.
Under the federal radio commits
sion act, broadcasting Of a false
SOS may be punished by $4,000
fine, a five-year prison sentence,
or both.
Meanwhile, several other investi-
cations into the incident are under
way.
At New York, the Columbia
Broadcasting Company, owner of
station WABC, has begun an in
quiry, as has the Radio Corporation
of America.
Officials of the latter said they
were checking at the Radio Marine
Corporation in an attempt to find
the source of the SOS.
The occurrence was brought to
the attention of the senate today
when Senator Dill (Dem., Wash)
asserted miracles are happening to
prevent dissolution of the radio
trust"
Dill, author of the existing radio
legislation, then cited what he
termed the suspicious miracle
which occurred when former Sena-
tor Reed was shut off for twenty-five
minutes just as he was beginning 70
attack the radio trust"
IT do not dare to suggest" Dill
said. chat any official of the Radio
Corporation or its affiliated inter-
ests would stoop to the indefensi-
BILE and contemplate use of any
sos call, the death call at sea, to
stop an attack upon himself or his
4 do not believe any officials did
that and I want to say so frankly,
but 1 think some one did and I
believe the reaction from such st
step will do the Radio Corporation
far more harm than if the attack
had been permitted to be broad
cast"
The Tuckerton IN. j. station of
the Radio Marine Corporation re-
ported hearing the SOS during the
broadcasting of Reeds address. New
York stations we're notified to stay
off the air, but no distress signals
were heard and broadcasting was
resumed after an interval.
Other stations said they heard no
SOS call and the Tuckerton sta
tons record did not show from
what ship the call came.
Chicago listeners reported strange
interference at the point in Reeds
speech where he denounced the So
called "radio trust"
Listeners telephoned newspapers
that piano playing" and other dis
turbances spoiled clear reception.

ELEVEN WORKMEN DEAD
IN TWO TUNNEL BLASTS

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, June 9.-Death today
found its way to a spot 200 feet be-
meath the bed of the Detroit river,
where it snapped out the lives of
four men and brought injuries to
seven others as they labored in a
tunnel.
The explosion is believed to have
occurred when a workman sent his
electric drill into charge of dyna-
mite which previously had been
placed, but which had failed to ex-
plode.
The location of the explosion
made the work of rescue squads
particularly difficult. The injured
had to be carried through the tun-
mel to the shaft where they were
raised to the surface of the earth
on an elevator.
Fall of rock, dirt and the wreck
age of the temporary structure in
the tunnel added to the confusion.

Wife DECLARES
SHE Went TO
JAIL FOR MATE
Breaks Silence After Two
Months at State
Woman'S Prison.
HUSBAND is ARRESTED
Court Told Mother Took
Rap in Fraud Plot Because
she Was Asked To-

The story of a wife'S willingness
10 serve a prison term to clear her
husband of a fraud plot was barred
today from the witness stand in
Marion county circuit court.
Appearing as a defendant in a
suit brought by a local credit con-
Germ for the collection of about
$1,000 lost on fraudulent radio deals,
Mrs? Frances E. Boyd, broke the
silence of her two months at the
Indiana woman's prison by declar-
ing that the scheme for which she
is taking the rap" was Matched by
her husband, Clarence A. Boyd,
head of the Boyd Radio Shop at 122
East Twenty -second street.
The woman is serving two-to.
fourteen-year sentence for her con.
viction of two months ago for for.
gery-a charge to which she plead
ed guilty, she says, because hel
husband asked her ito take the
blame"
Husband Is Arrested
AS a result of the woman'S dis
closures Boyd was arrested today or
an affidavit served following the
hearing, charged with conspiracy tc
commit felony. He was slated al
the city prison and will be jailed ir
default of a $4,000 bond.
Calm, and apparently unafraid
the woman, a mother of three chill
dren, told Judge Harry o. Cham
berlin that she abided by the die
tateS of her husband in following
out a plot to swindle the CONNER
cial Credit Company more than
$1,000 in falsifying of radio sales
contract. The man and wife joint
ly operated the radio shop.
The witness today did not ex-
plain her change of heart. Several
weeks ago she walked calmly into
criminal court to plead guilty to for
gerry and accepted the penalty with
out resistance. =
Charged with Engineering Plot
Her husband, meanwhile, filed
suit for divorce from her, and the
case is pending.
Boyd, the husband, is charged to-
day with engineering the creation of
false sales contracts to collect funds
from the. credit company ito build
up credit"
Whether the credit company shall
claim the funds turned over ITO
Boyd and his wife under the false
contracts, will be decided by Cham
berlin in a ruling probably this
week.
Explaining her act Of accepting
the punishment, Mrs. Boyd told the
court her husband had demanded it.
"Only Because He Asked 1t"
Go ahead and serve the SEN
tence,'' she quoted her husband as
saying, "but don't say anything
about it (the schene) because that
will leave me here to take care of
the business and the children"
my reason for taking the blame
was solely because he asked it of
me-" the witness told Chamberlin.
Pending trial of Boyd, officials OF
the church federation will have
charge of the children, the Rev
Linn D. Trip said at the close of
the hearing. The AFFIDAVIT was
served by Deputy Prosecutor Harry

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMNTS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor


WASHINGTON, June Con
gresS is in possession of concrete,
indisputable proof that the Hawley-
Smoot tariff, if passed, will limit
production, force American industry
to erect factories abroad and throw
g, vast number of American workers
out of their jobs.
Here is sample of the letters
senators and members of the house
are receiving daily.
1t is from the head of one of the
most reputable concerns in the
country, doing millions of dollars
worth of business and employing a
large number of American workers
at high wages. It shows exactly how
the tariff will work if it becomes
law.
Many Employed in Exports
The letter is from S. Duncan
Black, president of Black & Decker
Manufacturing Company of Balti-
more. It is to Representative Vim
cent L. Palisano, Maryland. It
reads:
I'VE are the manufacturers of
portable electric tools and appli-
anceS, doing an annual volume of
about 100000, Is per cent of
which is overseas business. Our
products are sold in every civilized
country in the world.
This export business has grown
rapidly and gives employment to
many people.
Prospects for our future growth
have been good until the recent
tariff discussions.
Our experience since that time
convinces us that the United States,
by reason of the tariff discussions,
Is getting just about the, worst pos
sible advertising in foreign coun-
tries, and an unfavorable reaction is
being set up to nullify, if it con-
tinueS, past efforts to create good
will abroad.
"Reprisals already are being put
lIllO el1SCC, particularly IN AUSTRALIA,
and they are being talked of in
many other places.
Must Move Abroad
eff all the unfavorable tendencies
materialize into action it will prob
ably be necessary, in order to hold
our trade, to move our export
manufacturing operations to Eng
land or to some other country and
operate our international business
from there.
Sat present time we simply main
tain a small assembly plant and
service station in London.
"The object of this letter is to
urge you to vote against the pres
ent tariff bill, as we know from
actual experience that it is going
to be very detrimental to the ex-
port business of this country and
will certainly operate to aggravate
the unemployment problem"

LaSheS at Hoover

BIZ United Press
KANSAS CITY, June 9.-Former
Senator James A. Reed viewed with
interest today the boom to make
him the Democratic presidential
nominee in 1882, but he confined his
comment on the failure Of part Of his
fiery speech Saturday to reach some
of his vast radio audience.
Declaring he believed the inter
ruption of his address for twenty-six
minutes was caused by "the inter-
ests" rather than by a mysterious
SOS on the Atlantic seaboard, the
gray-haired former senator prom
ised an investigation. He termed it
every peculiar situation"
The broadcast on the eastern
coast was interrupted while Reed
was in the midst of an attack on the
radio trust. The speech was being
broadcast over a national network
of the Columbia system.
IF the radio corporation did stop
the speech, it is a matter Of national
significance" Reed said. Not be-
cause it was my speech, but because
they arranged the Interference"
The former senator's address con-
tanned what was said to be the first
outspoken assault by a national
figure on the policies Of President
Hoover, another factor which his
followers saw as presaging his can
didacy for President.
Il protest that a pacifist, whether
he be a Quaker or Briton, shall
not haul down the American flag,
Reed shouted. He declared the
naval treaty was obtained by Mr.
Hoover for the benefit Of Great
Britain. reducing the United States
to the rank of a secondary naval
power
He referred to the proposed tariff
bill as "a wall. horse high. hog
tight and bull strong. which forces
the consumer to purchase almost
exclusively from DOMESTIC manu-
factlners and lays forced tribute
on every man. woman and child. .

Refuses Agreement to Plea
of Reconciliation; King
Takes Michael.
BY ALEXANDER HURTIG
United Press staff Correspondent

u
BUCHAREST, June 9.-PrinceSS
Helene, whom Carol of Rumania left
in 1925 when he chose the love of
the auburn haired Nine Magda
Lupescu in preference to the throne,
refused today to be reconciled.
The princess thereby frustrated
plans of the Rumatian ministers to
annul her divorce from Carol-the
one step needed to restore the
dynasty to its normal order after
Carols proclamation Sunday as
king.
1t previously had been reported
she would agree to a reconciliation,
if only for the purpose of pre-
venting a split in public opinion.
Michael, the 8-year-old son Of
Carol and Helene, was taken imrne-
diately into the custody of his father
when the latter received word Of
the princess refusal.
Became Grand Duke
The boy, who for three years sat
on his ceuntry's throne, became a
grand duke and heir apparent when
the parliament voted that his kingly
title never had been valid.
Today the child played with his
mechanical toys in the royal nJr-
Sery, glad that his father was back.
To console him for the loss of the
kingship, the parliament made him
Grand Voevod de Alba Youlia-a
title said to have been taken from
a Viennese musical comedy.
Carol was proclaimed King Carol
II by the parliament after an unani-
nous vote at noon Sunday, and on
Sunday night he met Princess Hell
enc for the first time since he eloped
to France with Nine. Lupescu.
The meeting was not successful,
however, and Carol went back to his
solitary tllrcne with his only son
and heir.
Busy Forming Cabinet
Events, which moved so rapidly
in Rumania during the weekend
continued so today. When news of
the unsuccessful attempt at recon-
Citation was learned, Manu- was
busy forming cabinet to replace
the Neutrality-suspicious. government
of Premier George G. Mironescu,
who himself had succeeded Manu-
Saturday.
The attitude of Dowager Queen
Marie apparently was determined
definitely today when a telegram
came from her at Obernammergau
congratulating her eldest son on
his accession to the throne. King
Carol replied in the warmeSt terms.
Shortly thereafter, Carol left
Bucharest for Curtea de Argos,
where he laid wreath on the tomb
of his father, the late King Fer
dinand.
Still Princess Mother
Helene will retain the title of
princess mother, which she held
during Michael's reign
She remained in resident at KiS-
Seleff palace, where she hitherto
had lived with Michael, while the
Swear old boy was taken with his
personal effects to the royal palace
to- be with his father, who will sup
ervise his education.
Prince Nicholas, who was believed
directly to have precipitated his
elder brothers trip from Paris, was
planning today to. go to Vienna to
join the woman he loves.
Like his brother. Nicholas re-
nounced his powers of state-not
the throne, but the regency-for the
love of a commoner, Madame
Sayeanu.
The prince refused to heed his
mothers opposition to the match,
as Carol had done when his heart
led his head and he went to France
to live with Madame Magda
Lupescu, with whom he now MAS
