 Police withheld news of the latest murder for more than three hours. It was not revealed until carly morning when Mulrooney himself appeared at the scene and started his own investigation.
 In the meantime, more than Ie0 small fry in the realm of gang land had been rounded up in a drive that started just before the mass meeting Monday got under way. About two thirds of this number were held on charges; others had no criminal records, they were simply unemployed. Not "big shot" was in the group.
 Theodore Naddi. 22, was last nights gangster victim.
 He sat in the rear of a candy store in the Bronx, not SO far from the scene of last Fridays gun battle in which six were killed. Three men were with Nad- al.
 A sedan drove up to the door way. Two men stepped up, looked in, and opened fire. Five bullets singled out Naddi as his com panions scattered.
 The two men returned to their sedan and with two others who had accompanied them, fled from the scene.
 When police arrived, only Err nest Zona, proprietor of the store, and the body of the victim could be found.

ONE MONTH ONLY FOR THE HUNTING 4, OF WILD FOWL
United States Proclama- A ton Issued - No More z Three Months Will
 ? Start October First

Washington, August 26 --(UP) Restriction to one month of the United States wild fowl hunting season is expected to be duplicated by Canada. it was learned today.
 President Hoover by proclama- ton has cut the usual shooting season in the United States and Alaska from three months to one. The proclamation, in the form of an amendment to the migratory bird treaty act, was issued on rec ommendation of the Department of Agriculture. It is understood to have almost unanimous support of game conservation organizations.
 The department of agriculture predicted that due to disastrous conditions in waterfowl breeding grounds because of the drought, flights of duck and geese this fall will be the poorest on record. A serious shortage of birds already has been observed in the drought regions.
 The one month hunting season will begin October in the north ern half of the country. Septem- Der in Alaska, and November 16 in the south except Florida. where IL VIII begin sNOVemDer ~. IHe change applies to ducks. geese, brant and coots. It does not ap- ply to Wilson's snipe, jacksnipe, sora, woodcock and doves.
 The northern district includes New England, New York, except Long Island, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa. Minnesota. North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Cobra do, Wyoming, Montana. Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Wash ington. The southern district in- cludes all other states except Flor ida.

room and then lay down to die. Faboli, although in critical con- dftion, has 0 chance of recovery. x-rays were taken today to deter mine the course and the location of the bullet, which was fired from a .32 calibre revolver.
 Faboli is evidently suffering from a mental disorder. After spending six months in the Norwich state hospital he was sent home q week ago Sunday on "probation". His note written in ink told his wife that he was sick of 1t all and had decided to shoot himself. He also intimated in the message that when she had forgotten him to marry again, if she wished.
 About 8:15 o'clock this morning Anna Pannone of 8 Lawrence street heard q noise, which puzzled her as to whether 1t was the back fire of an automobile or g. shot. About 10 o'clock Tony Faboli returned home from a visit to his aunt, Mrs Concetta Magaldi of Washing ton avenue. He had discovered that his wagon was broken and he in- tended asking his father to fix 1t. When he left his home at 8 o'clock his father was seated at a table in the kitchen writing Ia letter" Tony said.
 It was Tony's screams for help that aroused the neighborhood. One of the first to reach the homo was Patrolman William Santora, who resides in the first floor tenement of the house. Although not in his uniform of the day after his nights duty, "Bill' responded to the call, clad in pajamas and bathrobe. He sent in a call for the police ambu- lance, which was rushed to the house in charge of Patrolman Har- old Lawlor of the police motor pa trol and Supernumerary Fred Cuddy. Faboli was cared down three flights of stairs and placed in the machine. A fast trip to the hospital followed.
 Lieutenant William Pollard's in- vestigation and later visit to the bedside of the wounded man re- suited in the information that Fa- boil had thought the matter over and had decided to take his life. He opened trunk where the wea-

pon had been placed out of reach of the children. He left the keys of the trunk on the table with his farewell message" After shooting himself he threw the revolver from the sitting room into a bedroom, where Officer Santora later found it. For few minutes this dis covery had the police puzzled, but the finding of the note and chats with neighbors, who identified his hand writing and the statements made by young Tony, dispelled any thoughts of foul play. Faboli must be a man of superb vitality. The little room in which he tried to Kill himself was decidedly "mussy'. He lost considerable blood in the hour or more that he lay upon the couch. Attending doctors were Of the opln : ion that the bullet would be found lodged in the skull.
 Mrs Faboli is employed at the scovill Mfg Co. She suspected nothing of her husbands inten- tions when she left home earlier in the morning she was aware or the fact that he brooded at times over his condition, but since ms return from Norwich he had acted rationally. ..
 It was known by his frlenos that he brooded about his healtn and failure to obtain employment to support his wife, son ana ore ore daughter, Agnes 10.

 A 15-year old girl, Hedda Chris tIansen, who worked for the vic- tim and who witnessed the killing, told what happened:
 We were in the store about 20 minutes of 10. Two men came in. One of them was about six feet tall. He was wearing 6 dark soft hat, and had a black glove on his right hand, and g. gun in the gloved hand.
 "The other man was a little shorter. He had on a hat. He stood by the door.
 "rhe big man walked right in, with the gun held out. He said, I want your money!"
 Then he walked over to the cash register and put his hand in the drawer, taking out all the money, about SIP.
 "Mr Baxter rushed at him and grabbed him. The burglar punched the gun into MT Baxter's ribs. but MT Baxter held on.
 "The burglar fired the gun right at him. and l heard 6 ter rife explosion.
 Then the man with the gun and the money started for the door. The first man had run out when the gun went off.

TT takes lot of convincing arguments some
times to satisfy Congress of the needs of
the District of Columbia and so it was with
the question of public library. and indeed,
more than one pilgrimage was made by the
Board of Trade and its friends to the District
committees before the public library bill was
finally passed. One Of these meetings was
reported in The Star of June g. 1894 which
says
The House Committee on the District of
Columbia this morning gave q hearing to the
Committee Public Library of the Board of
Trade on the bill to establish a public library
in this city Mr.. Theodore w. Noyes chairman
of the Board Of Trade Committee addressed
the House Committee. He BRIEFLY explained
the bill the provisions of which have been here
tofore published in The Star, and outlined the
necessity for public library in Washington
He showed that of the So Semi-public
libraries in Washington, containing over q
million volumes, not one was q free circulating
library, with reading room open at night for
the benefit of the public. AS far as these books
are concerned the people of the city are in the
position of the mythical Tantalus, starving and
furnishing with an abundance of food and
water just out of reach Z"
up to June 80 1893, the Government had
donated eighty million acres Of land to the
States for public schools, q million and q half
acres for State universities and nearly ten mil
lion acres for agricultural colleges. Part of
more than eighty million acres Of swamp land
granted to the States had also been used for
educational purposes. There had been o series

finally by act of Congress approved June g.
1895, the library was established on the basis
desired"
Looking over the files Of The Star for items
bearing on the public library question, the
writer came across editorial in the paper Of
January ,, 1891, that shows the press was alert
to the question quite while before the goal
sought was realized. This editorial reads:
"A correspondent. whose communication is
printed in another column, suggests that space
be provided in the new Post Once Building for
Washington public library The idea is q
good one. 1t is discreditable that this need has
not long ago been supplied. If suitable and
convenient quarters are furnished, such as those
suggested by this correspondent, the books can
readily be obtained.
The departmental libraries at the Capital
contain nearly 300, 900 volumes, accessible only
to few employees Of the Government The
vast wealth OF reading matter in the Congress
sional Library is practically out of the reach
OF the workingmen owing to the hours of
opening and closing and the conditions placed
upon the enjoyment of its privileges. Viewing
the ocean of books spread tantalizingly before
him. the worklngman thirsty for the knowledge
which comes from reading might well exclaim
with the ancient mariner:
Water water, everywhere, nor any drop to
drink
There have been several local movements
toward securing such library. In 1887 the
laoor organizations OF the city gave some at

agreed to subscribe amounts for the purpose

q foot of land had been thus donated to the

Carlyle calls the peoples university, the free

The request for the library Is unanimous ON
the part Of the citizens. The Board Of Trade

Indeed, a brief and clear outline of the his
