that life and property may be protected

for this reason that have proposed to
send a commission to Haiti to deter

the whole problem in the light of our

to recommend the steps which will Lead

Pending the unemployment survey to

IS REPORTED FIRM
ON NAVAL EQUALITY

Role, Has Futile Conference
With Grand.
PHONE CALL FROM DUCE
REPORTED AT LONDON
Important Exchanges Between

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, March 18.-The italian
delegation to the Naval Conference was
reported today to have held firmly to its
stand at the outset of the Naval Con-
ference for naval parity with France.
Secretary Stimson, undertaking the
role of mediator in the Franco Italian
naval dispute in an effort to solve the
problem which is threatening the out
come of the conference, had CONVEX
sation with Foreign Minister Grandi
Of Italy this afternoon.
His discussion in an effort to effect
q compromise between Italy and France
was reported to have achieved nothing
excepting to get from the italian for
eign minister reiteration that Italy
wants naval parity with France.
Talk From Rome Reported.
It was understood that Premier Mus
solini was in direct telephone COM
nunication with Signor Grand this
forenoon.
The nature of the conversation was
not disclosed, but there was consider
able speculation as to whether impor-
tant exchanges between the Duce and
his foreign minister might not be go
ing on.
There was a feeling in many quar-
tiers that much of the negotiations
now will have to await return of M.
Tardieu from Paris next week end. He
will return, he says, as many week ends
as he may be needed; some saw in
his statement indication of consider
able prolongation of the conference,
with real negotiations occurring prln-
cipally only on Sundays.
The naval delegates have met only
BY twos and threes for many days now.
There has not been a meeting OF the
s'big fve," or first committee, COM
posed of heads of all the delegations,
in a long while. There has been no
plenary session in weeks, and there
was not another in sight today.
Minor FIurries in Commons.
There were minor f1urries regarding
the conference in the House OF Com
mons last night in debate on the naval
estimates. winston CluEc1ul, 4oAulSI
Conservative chancellor of the ex-
chequer, notified the government:
"The silence which the opposition
maintains upon various matters which
are the crux Of the conference must
not be taken by the government as a
sign they have the consent OF the
House of Commons in the measures
which they propose"
There was some criticism from the
Labor benches. Comdr. Joseph M. Ken
worthy, the only naval officer OF dis
tinction in the Labor parliamentary
contingent, called the conference "A
terrible failure"
Attempts might be made to show
that it succeeded. but that would be
worse than admitting right away that
the forces against the government had
been too great and that it would be
better to part friends and to try again
In a few years"

lister for trade and customs and delegate
to the conference, announced today
that the Australian delegation had pro-
yiSionally booked return passage for

CAPONE REPORTED
ON WAY TO CHICAGO
Mystery Shrouds Activities of
Gang King After Release
From Prison Cell.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 1s.-"Scarface"
AL Capone today was lost" in that fog
of mystery that shrouds ganglands ac-
tivities.
The Chicago gang leader, released
yesterday from the Gratersford Peni-
tertiary near Philadelphia, variously
was reported as heading homeward in
a train, an airplane and an automobile.
On one point all the rumors were
agreed-that Capone was coming back
to Chicago.
How or when he would return was
merely a matter of so much conjecture
Capone's Chicago associates followed
the usual gang custom of admitting
nothing and denying nothing.
No Public Display.
1t seemed obvious, however, that he
would not make a public display of his
return. In the first place, there. are
enemy gangsters, reported anxious for
the chance to avenge the deaths in
their ranks attributed to Capone's
henchmen. In the second place, the
police have indicated they will treat
Capone like any other hoodlum" and
pick him up on sight.
The most generally accepted report
was that Capone was on the Broad
way Limited of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn, accompanied by Frank Cline, the
bodyguard who served 10 months with
his chief on charges of carrying guns,
and other of his followers. But it was
considered unlikely that Capone would
stay aboard that long, If he was on the
train at all.
Air Chances Slim.
The chances that Capone would re-
turn by airplane were slim. The mu-
nicipal airport said weather conditions
made flying almost impossible last
night and this morning.
Although city police posted squads
near the Capone home and at other
points where they thought the gangster
might appear, Federal authorities an
nounced they would not modest him at
present.

TAX COLLECTIONS
BELOW LAST YEAR
Total Paid on Incomes to March
Is Not Made
Public.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury statement issued today
as of March is showed that income tax
collections were running scant $5,000,-
600 behind the total on that day year
ago.
This, however, could be taken only as
an indicator, and none too accurate
one at that, for the bulk Of the pay
ments of last Saturday have yet to be
reported.
Treasury officials know that millions
of dollars were taken in at various
Offices throughout the country. These
as yet had not been officially recorded
here, and until received the Treasury
statement shows only small fraction
of the money actually in hand.
The statement for March is, issued
this morning, showed the total collec-
tions In the Treasury on that date
amounted to $67, 507, 1862, against more
than $72 100000 a year ago. Treasury
officials, however already have before
them a much larger total obtained by
the telegraphic poll. This they have
declined to make public, although Sec
rotary Mellon has said it was lower than
last years, but not substantially so.
This larger total cannot show in the
Treasury balance for several days.
Ohicials refused today to venture any
estimate of the eventual total.
Figures for this year so far obtainable
we're held by Treasury officials to be
not comparable with the daily collec-
tions of last year because of Sunday in
tervening this year directly after the
final payment day.
This, they explained, would affect the
speed with which collections are shown
in the Treasury balance.
The total added to the Treasury bal
ance on March IS of this year was
more than $18,000,000, while last year
1t was only $15,000,000.
On the days succeeding the 18th,
however. figures running above hum
dred million were added to the Treas
ury general fund. The same will occur
this year, although Treasury officials
have pointed out that 1t may be week
before the accumulated collections will
show true comparison with those for
1929.
