PAINTERS WAGE
 SCALE IS FAIR SAYS TREASURY
Capitol Painters Fairly Treated but Contractor
 to Raise Laborers

Painters at the Capitol are not being underpaid by the contractors according to a ruling made by the Treasury Department, after an in- vestigation into charges preferred by local painters that less than the going local rate was being paid. However, laborers on the same job are to be given a boost from $3.50 to $425 under the ruling of the Department.
 Painters on the job are receiv- ing from $7 to $10 per day, the Treasury Department found in it's investigation, while the local day rate is said to be $8 straight. No helpers are employed on the proj- ect.
 The Department held that the painters are being treated with fairness in the matter of wages. It held, however, that the $3.5O wage for laborers was under the prevail ing rate and ordered it boosted to S425, which has been done.

 Nine skeletons, believed by their discoverer to be those of Indians seven to eight feet tall, were un- earthed by workmen.
 The burial site is in a region where other aboriginal relics have been found in previous years.
 Eight of the skeletons lay about 12 feet below the surface in hori- zontal positions, face downward in two converging lines.
 Where they met, a skeleton of unusual size was found in an up- right position.

"the purpose of this provision is to

increase in the lump sum appro-

Considerable damage and two
deaths resulted from the storms. A

an unidentified Mexican girl.
Property loss was chiefly confined

CIRCUS QUEEN
DIES FOLLOWING
SEVERE INJURIES
Star of Sawdust Ring
Crashes From TrapeZe
In Copenhagen

COPENHAGEN, Feb. l6. U.P) -
The thoughts of thousands of circus
goers and performers in sawdust
rings throughout the world turned
to Copenhagen today where Lillian
Leitzel, aerial gymnast and ack-
nowledged queen of the circus lay
dead.
The little athlete whose amazing
trapeze performances and radiant
personality won her recognition in
many lands, died in her sleep at 2
2. m. Sunday from injuries received
when a defective apparatus broke
and she fell to the ring in which
she had become famous.
Her husband, Alfred Cordona, a
Mexican gymnast performing in
Berlin, came to his wife's bedside
buJ left late Saturday when her
condition appeared improved. She
died few hours later.
Lillian Leitzel's most spectacular
act never had been duplicated by an
other performer. Hanging by one
arm from rope at the top of the
circus tent, she twisted her entire
body in successive revolutions on a
swinging ring between 100 and 200
times. Her record was 249 revolu-
tionS.
The trapeZe artist starred for
many seasons with the Ringing
Brothers-Barnum and Bailey circus
and was very popular in vaudeville.
Her performance held a special ap-
peal for children and she was al
ways willing to amuse youngsters
by special appearances.
The "queen of the circus'' lived
like a royal figure. She travelled in
her private car and carried retinue
of servants and attendants. Her
special kitchen was part of the cir
Gus train. And at the high point
of the program under the big top
when Lillian LeitZel came into the
ring, everything else stopped and
every spotlight was directed upon
her tiny figure swaying high above
the audience.

BEVERLY HILLS, Feb. l6. UP
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr IS full story
of the Mussolini automobile accl-
dent, which reached international
prominence in a public address by
Major General Smedley d. Butler,
was told here today in Vanderbilt s
own words.
The young writer gave his story
to the United Press and to Rob
Wagner, his personal friend and
editor of the Beverly Hills Scrip.
Vanderbilt declared he was riding
with Mussolini near Rome when the
premier's car struck a small girl,
and that he could not see how any
statement he made in the five years
following the incident could have
been taken to construe that MuSso-

"These, then, are the facts of
that trip as we'll as l can recall them
after nearly five years:
"An interview With Mussolini had
been arranged for me by two high
American officials. I arrived at the
Caetani palace and was warmly re-
ceived by Mussolini. He was about
to leave on some sort Of military
inspection and as I needed time for
my interview, he asked me to ac-
company him. We left the palace
in MuSSolini S car, he driving. We
were accompanied, however, by sew
eral cars filled with secret service
men. some ahead, some behind.
"Thus the motorcade started at
high speed but as word had gone
ahead that II Duce was on the way,
the local police were guarding the
road through the various villages
in order to protect not only the
cheering villagers but Mussolini him.
self. For it must be remembered
that at that time, which was before
the vatican had been won to his
side, Mussolini was in constant per-
sonal danger.
"As we were entering a small
town, at a turn in the road, too
eager young girl ran across the path
and was struck by Mussolini IS car

immigration Cut
Bill Approved

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. U,P) -
The house immigration committee
today voted to report favorably the
jenkins bill cutting quotas of i'm
migration by 90 per cent. This dit-
fers from the bill now before the
rules committee in that it does not
limit Philippine immigration.
The committee, however, decided
to report separately bill that would
cut off Philippine immigration to
the United States and reduce such
immigration to Hawaii to 500 an
nually.
The Philippine bill is not expected
to pass this session. The legislation
was put into the form reported by
the committee today in order TO
overcome objections of Chairman
Smell of the rules committee to any
tampering with Philippine immigra-
ton. A rule allowing early action
on the jenkins bill is expected IN
time to permit its passage.
