Great Dane SIashes at Eight
Bandits Who Open Fire
on Resort Guests.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November ga Great
Dane pitted his courage and strength
In fight against eight Chicago robbers,
and although defeated, the wounds he
inflicted, police believed, may lead to the
apprehension Of the men who shot to
death three women, two of them enter
tainers, In a roadhouse.
The dog. fighting furiously, slashed
right and left at the eight invaders,
but guns and pistols, blazing In the
darkness as the lights Of the resort in
suburban Summit went out, won. Be-
sides the three women slain three men
were injured, all apparently hit by the
gunmen's bullets.
Wounds May Betray Them.
Despite the fact the holdups escaped,
police were hopeful that they might be
able to trace them If and when they
appeared at a doctors ONCE for treat
ment for wounds inflicted by the dog.
Their loot totaled but 5000.
As one Of the holdup men began
pushing Henry Goetz, owner Of the re-
sort, the Great Dane leaped to the aid
Of his master, sinking his teeth in the
mans leg, and the gunman, in sudden
fright. began to IRE. The next instant
the place was in darkness.

vaders, in attempting to turn on more
lights, had touched the wrong switch.
When the lights were turned on

Miss Alice Ward Of Milwaukee dead,
with bullets in their backs. Miss Mary
Ganey, owner of q beauty parlor, was

While the panic was at its height,
Lieut.. MicuS added to the din by firing
at the invaders. They used two motor

nearly overcome by his wounds, lost

The hold-up, which occurred early
today just as Miss Ward prepared to
sing request number for the guests,
was the major crime of series that
Chicago and vicinity suffered over the
week end. Guyon's Paradise, a dance
hall on the West Side, was bombed, but
the damage was slight. Police blamed
labor trouble.
Among the other crimes was the
hold-up of an oil-filling station, in
which police shot and killed one Of the
robbers.

and killed by a drunken colored man,
who In turn was killed by Dillon's fell

Hoover Group Drops Other
Problems to Tackle
Prohibition.
BY REX COLLIER.

The problem Of prohibition, ut one
time assigned to a committee Of four
members, today became the major
worry Of all the members Of the Presi-
dents Commission on Law Observance
and Enforcement.
All other ramifications Of the COM

ject Of lawlessness have been completed

This little group wrestled with their
orphan Tor many months, while other
committees delved into such relatively
abstract subjects as causes of crime.

Juvenile delinquency and the like.
Troubles Reached Public's Ears.
The troubles which the Prohibition
Committee were having with their In
corrigible ward grew so pressing that
echoes Of the struggle drifted past the
commissions closed doors from time to
time and reached the public's ears.
Today all members Of the law en-
forcement group, except Monte Lemann,
who was unable to come here from
his home in New Orleans. sat down at .
large conference table to attempt for
mutation OF an answer to the liquor
question.
The biggest part Of the problem, It
appeared, lay in merging the diversified
opinions Of the various members into
one harmonious report. The report,
the commission indicated today, will
not be ready until after December
and hence will not be available to
President Hoover for his message to
Congress: The almost imperative deslr-
ability OF presenting a report which all
members can agree to Is recognized.

IN POLISH ELECTIONS

BY the Associated Press.
WARSAW, November 24.-Marshal
Pilsudski, whose party won q majority
in the Lower House of the Polish Diet
last week, today emerged from the
Senat elections with a safe two-thirds
majority Of rs seats.
All the opposition parties, except the
National Democrats, who gained three
seats, lost heavily. Pilsudsl1i's sup
porters, who held only 46 seats before
the election, took II from the Centric
Radicals, from the Ukrainians. 2
from the German minority and four
from the Christian Democrats.
The Senat hne-up now gives the
government 76 seats, Centric Radicals,
II, National Democrats IL, Ukrainians
4, Germans 8 and Christian Demo-
Gratis 2.
The government party was not 20
fortunate. In the Silesian Diet cleo
ton, held simultaneously, complete re-
turns gave the government party 10
seats, the Korfantyists 10, the Germans
z and the Socialists 3.
The old Diet was dissolved Septem-
Der 10 when 10 government deputies
were defeated by IS Korfantyists and
IS Germans.
Three members Of the opposition In
the last Polish Diet were released on
bail today after having been impris-
oned In the fortress at Brest Litovsk
They were Lasilas Kiernik, former min
lister Of the interior, and his support
ers, Pragier and Mastek.
Adelbert Confanti, the former premier,
who was elected to both the Central
and the Silesian Diet by Q heavy vote
yesterday, was transferred to the prison
