shot and killed in a gun battle
with two policemen early todaJ

close that Bondy's face was
burned by powder. The otner

In attempting to escape the
bandits were trapped in the dome
Of the ventilating shaft. When
shot they tumbled down the shaft
and it was necessary to call tie

Tardieu's New Cabinet
Expected to Get o. X.
Of Chamber Wednesday

PARIS, March 3 G.NSD.-With
Premier Andre Tardieu'S second
Cabinet generally regarded today
as reasonably certain of winning
a vote of confidence in the Cham
ber of Deputies Wednesday. it
was expected a new French dele
cation would return to the Lon
don naval conference Thursday.
The new delegation will follow
q naval policy almost identical
to that followed by the previous
French delegation. 1t is taken
as a foregone conclusion that the
delegation will stick by it's guns
for a minimum of 725, 900 tons of
naval strength by 1885 unless
compensation is made France in
the form of a security pact.
While victory is looked for in
the Chamber, all will not be
smooth sailing for the new gov
ernment. Tardieu is expected to
emerge with a majority of not
more than from 20 to 40 votes.
For this reason, although it is
believed he will remain nominal
head of the conference delega-
ton, it is more than probable
that Aristide BRAND, foreign min
tster in the new government, will

SENATE To PASS
TARIFF MAR. Il

pass the tariff In two weeks"
This was the cry of Administra-
ton leaders today as the Senate
entered another week Of 11-hour
workdays in hope of speeding up
passage of the year-old tariff bill.
It was the hope of Administra-
ton leaders to send the bill to
conference by March Is. When
that is accomplished, another in:
tra-parliamentary war will develop
between House and Senate over
rates and administrative provis-
ions. The Senate thus far has
changed thousands Of House rates,
There was a feeling the House
and Senate conferees might re.
qu1re another six weeks to iron out
differences. The bill may reach
the White House sometime in
May.
The Senate debate on the bill
today revolved around the amend.
ment for a duty Of z cents A
pound on long staple cotton.
Sponsored by Senator ShortridEe
(RO Of California and supported
by some administration Senators
as we'll as southern Democrats,
the m en- I'm mt nevertheless
seemed doomed.
The next important rate con.
test will come over sugar. Sena.
tor Smoot (R) Of Utah will seek
a duty Of 50 per 100 pounds on
Cuban imports as a substitute for
the present 1.76 rate.
With sugar out of the way, the
path will be cleared for passage
OF the bill. There will be brief
skirmishes over the brick and
cement tariffs and efforts prob
ably will be made to change some
of the industrial rates already
approved by the Senate.

NAVAL CONFERENCE EXPECTS
To RESUME WORK THIS WEEK

LONDON, March /. UN.S0.-
With prospects for the early re-
turn of a French delegation to the
five-power naval conference better
than at any time during the
last two weeks, delegates Of the
other four powers returned from
their weekend vacations today
ready to map our programs
designed to help accelerate the
negotiations.
An executive session Of the
American delegation was Sched-
uled for today at which many i'm
portant matters were to be dis
cussed. Not the least of these
was petition of 1900 prominent
Americans urging that the Amer
ican delegates strive for actual
reduction of armamentS.
Meanwhile, Secretary of the
Navy Charles F. Adams struck a
note calculated to- discourage
pesSimistic statements regarding
the ultimate success Of the con-
ference. In a radio address broad
cast across the ocean. he outlined
the progress already made at
the conference as follows:
A virtual decision on the meth
Cd of limitation.
An agreement to have treaty
restricting submarine attacks on
merchant ships.
INSTRUMENTATION of the Anglo
American naval programs.
Good prospects of settling the

over the heavy cruiser ratio.

The new government is looked
upon as slightly stronger than

SIX BEL|EvEDLOST
IN WRECK OF YACHT
Commodore Henry Douglas
King, M. p, Among Those
Missing From Islander.

By the Associated Press.
FOWEY, Cornwall, England, August
2l.-Commodore Henry Douglas King,
Conservative member of Parliament,
brilliant soldier and one time aide-de-
camp to King George, was believed to
have met death with probably half O
dozen others aboard the 22-ton motor
yacht Islander, wrecked here in the
night ---..~--.
One woman, two children and a well
known naval surgeon were believed
aboard the vessel when it went to pieces
after going on the rocks on the Corn
wall coast at Lantivet Bay. Definite
knowledge OF the makeup of the yacht
ing party still was lacking this evening.
That Commodore King changed his
mind about inviting some fellow mem
bers OF Parliament was believed. This
apparently spared their lives, since all
on board the Islander were lost, accord
ing to lifeguards who battled desperate
ly In darkness under the 265-foot cliff
where the tragedy of the English Chan
mel was enacted in efforts to rescue
some OF those aboard.
Couldn't Get Aboard.
Wnen uellne unally was shot
across the yacht there seemed nobody
on the craft to catch 1t. Daring Coast
GuardSmen, lowered from the brink of
the rock, said they heard a woman
scream in a cabin. The Guardsmen
could not contrive to get aboard the dis
treSsed vessel. 10
Late today the police reported that
the bodies of two young children had
been washed ashore near the scene of
the wreck. At that time the author
tiles expressed the fear that the death
roll would reach eight. Much of the
night and nearly all of the day had
passed without the recovery OF any
bodies. When those OF the children
were washed up diligent search began
for others.
Women Believed on Craft.
A statement by a local resident that
he saw what appeared to be two women
and boy washed overheard from the
yacht Rnd disappear in q whirl Of
water Supported the belief that not all
of the victims were men, although Mrs.
King, the commanders wife, holidAying
on the Isle Of Wight, had expressed the
belief that there were no women on the
Islander.

EVIDENCE SEIZED
IN A|ELLO HOMES
Lingle Murder Probe Carried
to Apartment Where Broth
ers Are Missing.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 21.-The records
Of second branch of the Zuta -Aiello-
Moran gang faction were seized last
night by investigators attempting TO
solve the staying Of Jake Lingle, Tribune
reporter.
Acting on information they obtained
in one of Jack zuta's safe deposit boxes.
States attorneys agents raided the
luxurious apartment of Joe Aiello, head
Of the Unione Siciliano, and his brother,
Dominick. They found q mass Of rec
ords, several weapons and about 100
keys.
Facts Not Recalled.
Whether the papers contained any
mention Of financial transactions with
public oflcials such as was found In
the records kept by the slain Zuta was
not revealed by the States attorneys
office. The Aiello records were being
| studied carefully, 1t was announced, and
an effort was being made to trace addi-
tional papers through the keys found in
the brothers apartments.
Neither of the AielloS was at home
when the investigators arrived. ThetI
wives, who protested loudly against the
search, said the notorious brothers left
the city soon after Lingle was killed
more than two months ago. Police
have always considered the gang headed
by George Bugs" Moran responsible fol-
the shooting Of Lingle, with Zuta, the
brains Of the Moran gang, Is the prob
ably plotter.
Not . Book i'm Place.
The Aiello apartment was described
by Patrick Roche, chief investigator, a
extensively furnished with Orienta
rugs, heavy Grapes and modernistiS
furniture. But there was not o book
in the place." Roche said.
In addition to searching for clues In
the Lingie mystery and for new evil
dences of an alliance between gangsters
and public oficials, Roche said the in
vestigators will look In the Aiello rec:
ords for traces of the latest movements
Of the Unione 6iciliano.
Joe Aiello succeeded the leadership
Of this group after the aSSassinations OF
Pasqualino Lolardo and Tony Lombardo
