lay the body of Mrs. Frank Yitkos, A
years old.
Beside her lay an ak. There was
blood on it.
Husband Calls Police.
1t was Sunday morning in the Yit-
kos two-room apartment in the Cherry
Hill section of the lower East Side. Po-
lice got the call from the woman's hus-
band, Frank YitkoS, known to them as
"a real tough guy" in a part of Man
haitian which is real tough" itself
MY wife is SICK" he telephoned at
8 o'clock yesterday morning.
She was not sick; she was dead. One
wrist had been cut, probably with the
ak. Loss of blood caused her death.
Yitkos was arrested His brother
Peter, whom he had called before the
police, was held as material witness.
Accuses 1.-TWO Italians"
YitkoS said his wife had been killed
by two Italians" when he refused their
demands for money. He said he had
given them SIS to leave and he had
then gone to sleep. He awoke to find
his wife dead.
He told his story as police stood
around him in the CHEEKY street bed
room. The only living thing that might
have seen what happened there this
Sunday morning and who might have
been willing to tell merely looked at
the room full of policemen, at the body
on the bed, and squawked:

LAVAL CONFIDENT

Radicals May Refuse Prom

Marin Faction.

PARIS, January Ex-senator Pierre
Laval expressed confidence today that
he would have q cabinet to replace that
Of Premier Theodore Steeg, which re-
signed Thursday, before tonight, and
would be able to read his declaration of
policy to the Chamber of Deputies
Thursday.
His optimism was in the face of a
renewal of old antagonisms between the
Radical Socialists, a powerful Left
group, and the Rightist colleagues of
Louis Marin. Yesterday the Radicals
voted to collaborate with their 1856
Chamber votes with the new premier
designate, but their resolution was
ambiguous, and today it was understood
that they maintained their old refusal
of collaboration in any cabinet in which
the Marinists were rep-ee1-7tcd.
In order to obtain a Chamber ma
jority, 1t appeared today Senator Laval
must have the cooperation of both
groups
Several portfolios were considered as
already designated. M. Laval almost
certainly will take the important min
istry of interior for himself. 1t also Is
likely that M Tardieu will be offered
O portfolio, while AriStide BRAND has
already taken the foreign office.

pointed. Due to the death of his

he will appear at all other per-
formances during the week. Manager

In the absence of Watson, Freddie
Walker was the shining light of the

good for laugh. Watson's own role

Children in Schools
Mean More Jobs
For Elders

The unemployment problem
in the. United States would be
minimized II children were kept
in the public schools for a
longer period than is now re-
quired.
This is the statement Of the
children's Bureau, following q
recommendation of the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers which met recently in
Hot Springs, Ark.
BY keeping children in
school, the young people would
be prevented from being can
didates for jobs which would
otherwise be filled by adults,
it was said:
Employers are more apt to
employ children who work for
a much lower wage than the
adults, according to the parent
teacher group.

 AT KODIAK ACCOUNT
 REGENT GATEWAY ITEMS

From letters and reliable infor- nation received from Kodiak The Gateway is informed that a com munication or two received from Kodiak recently were largely if not entirely Banana Oil" One para graph stated that General Jack Hunt" the amiable Elk had full charge of the Elks Annual Charity ball, whereas, The Gateway is in formed that MT. Hunt had abso- lutely nothing whatsoever to do with that event At a meeting of the Elks, Charles MadSen and Har- ry o. White were selected by 8 motion duly made and carried to receive all funds, take personal charge of everything connected with the Charity ball and to disburse those funds.
 The article in question also stated that at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Kodiak, MT. Hunt was selected as supervisor of the Identification of the school grounds. No such supervisor was named, 1t is said, or needed and that the Identification consisted only of fill- ing up the hole where the old school house basement was. That score or so of men volunteered to load the trucks with gravel from the beach and leveled it off after 1t was dumped in the hole.
 The article further states there are 75 members of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce; this also, The Gateway is informed, is false and untrue and that in reality ! there is not one such member who has paid in any dues and there is a strong probability that there never will be.
 Another article sent in for publi- cation, appearing later, stated in substance that the people of Ko- diak had contributed $500 to beau tify the school ground. This false and untrue article is causing much | laughter in Kodiak and the con- census of opinion is that such pub :! lications are hurting the town by leading the world to believe that l the residents all belong to the an ninias club of intrepid, unrivaled and veteral liars. The truth about beautifying the school grounds is as follows:
 Ben Kraft and Bert Haglin gave the use of their trucks free and the native men and the very few others volunteered their services in loading the trucks and dumping the gravel into the hole in the ground left by the basement of the old school building.
 There was not one dollar con- trlbuted by the people of Kodiak for this purpose. The Gateway is further informed that to Tom Dyer, ! agent at Kodiak for the Standard | Oil Company, and to no other per son, should go the credit for caus- ing this worthy work to be done.
