ment, immigration would be allowed

full Crowd.

ROME, April 24.-Signorina Edda
MusSolini was given In marriage to
Count Galeazzo Ciano, son of the min
lister Of communications, by her father,
Premier Benito Mussolini, at 10 am.
today. The ceremony, brief and I'M
pretentious, was at st. Joseph's Church,
on the Via Nomentana.
The church, crowded with dignitaries,
was beautifully decorated.
The wedding party drove from the
premier'S home to the church, where
Signorina Edda led the procession on
the arm of her father-in-law, Count
Ciano. The groom followed. escorting
Donna Rachele MuSsolini, while at the
last came the premier himself with
Countess Ciano.
Mass Follows Ceremony.
The bride proceeded to the altar to
the music of Enrico BoSsi's wedding
march, played by the organ and an
instrumental quartet. They knelt
before the altar and received the initial
blessing of Mgr. Giovenale Pascucci,
the parish rector.
uniting them in marriage, low mass
was said, and the nuptial contract
signed in accordance with the terms
Of the Lateran treaty, which gives the
ecclesiastical marriage civil effect.
Witnesses for the bride were the
Duce's brother, Arnaldo Mussolini, and
Prince Don Giovanni Tolonia; for the
groom Dino Grand, minister of foreign
affairs, and Count Devecchi, Italian
Ambassador to the Holy See.
The brilliant assembly crowded to
the aisle as the couple and parents
walked from the church. The bride
and groom entered an automobile and
drove to st. Peters, where they wor-
SHIPPED at the tomb Of st. Peter before
beginning their honeymoon, details of
which have been kept strictly secret.
In accompanying them to st. Peters,
the premier, for the first time since the
exchange of ratifications of the Lateran
treaty with Cardinal Gasparri last Sum-
mer, set foot within Vatican City.
It was believed that in view Of
personal gift to Edda from the Pope and
Premier MuSsolini's reception at st.
Peters, the Duce's long-eXpected visit
to the Pope may soon become an
actually.
u. S. Ambassador Is Guest.
Guests included United States Am
bassador John w. Garrett, Mrs. Garrett,
other Ambassadors and Ministers, min
listers in the Duce's cabinet and Fascist
party leaders. Mrs. Henrietta Wurts
of Philadelphia also was present. Vir-
ginia MuSsolini, sister of the Duce, was
among the relatives attending. She is
rarely seen in public.
The bride is 10 years old, and the
groom 81.
Despite encouragement by Premier
MusSolini there were many gifts. Pope
Plus sent solid gold rosary and with
it his benediction. The Fascist party
sent a brooch, the Senate Burano
lace veil and the Chamber of Depu-
ties a tea service. Others were from
the staff of Arnaldo Mussolinis paper,
Popolo DItalia, and from provincial
authorities of Forli, Lucca and Leghorn.

men. After that If the men are still
discourteous or tactless the commanding
officers, including himself, shall share
the blame.
Since he became a Police Commits
sioner, he said, he had been on the
lookout for some standards of conduct
or some code by which the policemen
should be guided, but he has found
nothing but general warnings that they
be courteous. Such warnings are not
enough, he believes. There must be
some set Of principles which can be re-
duced to writing which would be of con-
crete assistance to the policemen in the
smooth handling Of their contacts with
the citizenry.
Thus far, Gen. Crosby stated, only one
principle has occurred to him for in
clusion in this list. That principle is
that policeman should never violate
one law as a means of enforcing an
other. Gen. Crosby is now on the look
out for other principles for addition to
his code.

Sir Henry Drayton Testifies
That People Found "Prohi-
bition Did Not Prohibit. -

By the Associated Press.
Sir Henry Drayton, chairman of the
liquor control board Of Ontario, de-
Tended the Canadian liquor control
system today before the House judiciary
committee.
Sir Henry prefaced his testimony by
explaining that he came at the request
Of the committee. He had been invited,
he said, after dry witness, former
Premier e. G. Drury of Ontario
Province. had attacked the Canadian
plan.
Sir Henry said, however, that he had
come to answer no one, and that he
occupied position Of neutrality.
Prohibition Did Not Prohibit"
Ontario, the witness said, is the dryest
of all Canadian provinces. During the
war period, he said, there was scarcity
of food, and prohibition was enacted
He added that during the war prohibi-
ton worked well, and that in 1919,
when a vote was taken, prohibition
obtained SO per cent Of the votes cast
In 1928 another vote Save prohibition
81 per cent of the votes cast.
This change was attributed by Sir
Henry to changes of view by the
Ontario people because of the things"
that followed peacetime prohibition.
I'VE had swamp whisky" he con-
tinued. 1--WE had all kinds of substitutes.
There was a growing use of TASKS.
There was growing use of strong
liquor.
Those were the things that caused
the change. The people found that
prohibition did not prohibit"
Adopted Control Plan.
1.-THE people then adopted the liquor
control plan, the witness said, as more
effective thing than prohibition" he
said.
1.-The worst thing under prohibition,
and am only speaking for us, was that
temperance education ceased. 1t be-
came a matter of Government control.
Legislative force succeeded campaign
of moral persuasion" he said.
Unfortunately legislative force did
not work for us. It may work for some
people. I know legislative force has
worked with the Turks in Africa"
The amount of distilled liquor re-
leased for consumption in 1915, he said,
was 6,942, $50 gallons for a population
Of 1852 900.
In 1928, the amount was 4,275,11O gal
Ions for population Of 9,658,000.

Gen. Herbert B. Crosby, newly ap-
pointed Commissioner in charge Of the
police department, let it be known today
that he Is at work on code Of con-
duct for policemen while doing their
police work. Gen. Crosby said that
although the public expects great deal
Of policemen in the way Of courtesy,
tact and other similar qualities, he
has never heard of any sustained efforts
to impart these qualities to the men on
the street. He says that the blame for
churlishness and discourtesy Of a police
man should really fall largely on his

tions they will ordinarily meet while

Condemnation of Indiana circuit
court judges by the state prison
trustees sitting as a parole and
pardon board drew sharp retortS
from Virgil H. Simmons, who oc-
cupies the Blackford county bench
at Hartford City, and Joseph
Cripe, the Howard county Judge.
Judge Simmons declared board
members are publicity seekers and
display their ignorance Of the
cases on which they comment"
Prosecutor Glen Hills of Howard
county joined Judge Grippe in reply
ing tc the board which asserted that
a man convicted of stealing copper
wire from an Indiana Union traction
work car, should have been fined
and a prison term suspended.
The prisoner, James Hickman, was
paroled by the board.
Prosecutor Hills declared there is
a great difference between handling
pleas for leniency at the prison and
the reformatory, declaring that at
the latter institution, Superintend-
ent Miles makes a thorough investi-
cation and obtains abundant data.
"At Michigan City, the pardon
board seldom, il ever, asks for the
states side Of the case. It seems to
me that this was just one of those
cases. 1t looks like O publicity
stunt" the prosecutor asserted.
