OFFICERS "PENSION"
FIGHT TO BE Renewed
Reed Would Bar Higher salaried
U. S. Workers From Re-
tirement Benefits.

Senator David A. Reed, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, plans to renew, in the
next Congress, his efforts to prevent
persons drawing the higher salaries in
the Government service from receiving
allowances under the emergency officers
retirement law. If instances which he re-
CARDS as needing correction are un-
changed when Congress returns
Senator Reed explained today that if
such changes are made in the admins
tration of the emergency officers law
in the meantime, legislation would not
be necessary.
The Senator said that If he revives the
restrictive legislation he will modify it
somewhat. At the last session. hfs pro-
posal was that no person receiving a
salary of $4,000 or more from the
Government could at the same time be
given a monthly allowance under the
emergency officers retirement law He
said If the question is taken up again
he would raise the salary limitation to
50, 500.

RASKOB PLAN HIT
BY SENATOR KING
Says Neither Chairman Nor
National Committee Can
Frame Platform.

Senator William H. King, Democrat.
of Utah, has joined Southern Demo-
Gratis in opposing platform proposals by
Chairman John j. Raskob Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee
I'm my opinion" Senator King said
yesterday, 1.-The industrial and economic
questions are paramount, and upon
those issues the Democrats can win
the next national election"
The Utah Senator said he did not
question the right of Mr. Raskob to
give his views to the party, or to seek
the views of the National Committee,
but it is obvious neither Raskob nor
the National Committee can or will
frame a Democratic platform"
King directed his attack at Raskob's
economic program, particularly oppos-
ing the chairman's plan to hberalize
the antitrust laws. He announced he
was drafting legislation to strengthen
the antitrust laws.
IF the Sherman ANTITRUST law Is
weakened, the small business man will
be destroyed and industry will be con-
trolled by a few gigantic monopolies.
Either we have got TO prevent trusts
and monopolies or regulate them.
81 admire Mr.. Raskob, but am not
In agreement with all his views on
economic and industrial problems, nor
do think they will be adopted by the
party convention"

V Robbery was undoubtedly chief motive in connection with the sus- picious fire that caused several thousands of dollars damage in the residence of Dominic Perotti of Bunker Hill avenue last Wednesday evening. The attempt at incendiarisn is now believed to be only a blind" to cover up the object of the visit of burglars during the absence of member of the family. v
 over $500 in silverware, six silk shirts and an engraved watch have been discovered missing in an in- ventory taken by MT Perrotti and insurance adjustors. There was also evidence found that various parts Of the residence had been ransacked, sections in which no fire was discov- cred.
 A number of interesting facts concerning the fire, which broke out early Monday morning in the home of Frank Aloise of IA Branch street. were obtained to-day by a triple in- yestigation. Fire Marshal Frank w.. Holland and State Trooper Leo Murphy of the state departments arson squad started a probe yesterv day. To-day they were joined by lieutenant Joseph stevens Of the local detective bureau, who was chiefly responsible for the success of the authorities in uncovering evidence in the famous Leopold case.
 h both instances number of facts correspond. No one was at home in either family when their homes were discovered on fire. Rags and furniture sprinkled with kero- sene were discovered and saved py firemen. A strange car was observed

near the Perrotti residence shortly before the fire was discovered. A man was seen running from the house in which the Aloise family TO- sides shortly before flames broke out the windows.
 This morning Marshal Holland, Lieutenant Stevens and State Troop CT Murphy questioned several wit nesses in connection with the Branch street blaze. It will be two or three days yet before the investigation is completed.
 It was about 12:30 o'clock Mon day morning that the Aloise home on the third floor of IA Branch street was discovered on fire. Samuel Mazzarella, owner of the building, his wife and four children were asleep on the second floor. Carmine Rinaldi, his wife and four children reside an the first floor. It was Mrs Rinaldi, who discovered the fire. Before the blaze was extinguished the Aloise tenement was badly dam aged. The first and second floors were almost inundated by water. The total loss is approximated at $7.oOO.
 The discovery of oil soaked rags in various parts of the house in- dicated very conclusively that the fire was deliberately set.
 In view of the circumstances sur rounding the Perrotti burglary and subsequent blaze. the fire and police authorities are attempting to show some connection between the two instances.
 Members of the local detective bureau have taken up the search for the missing silver ware, shirts and watch taken from the Perrotti home
