POSITORS ASK
CASH, GET WORSE
Corrigan's Slippery
Promises No Good

NEW YORK.-An attempt at a
conference on friday, through lot
of fake promises by Acting Mayor
Corrigan to The United Deporitors
Committee of %, who wen to him
with the demands of the 100000 small
depositors in the definct Bank of
the United States, to keep the work
ers from fighting militantly for the
money that was robbed from them by
the Tammany henchman and bankers
failed today when the committee
pointed out that they would not rely
on the smooth phrases of the boss
politicians but would develop mass
movement of the small depositors to
force the payment of their hard earn
ed savings in full.
Litman, one of the spokesman,
pointed out the many cases of police
brutality against depositors who wait
ed in lines at the banks Corrigan
attempted to disclaim all knowledge
of brutality. He attempted to urge
the committee to line up with Max
Steuer, the Tammany lawyer who is
being slated to head the fake white
washing investigation, and who rep
resents the interests of the stockhold-
erS against the depositors,
All sorts of promises were made
about free meeting places, but Cor
rigan refused to permit the deposit
ors to use the armories, claiming he
had no control over these.
The committee left the conference
insisting that they would mobilize a
wide mass movement against the
Tammany takers who are connected
with the bank robbers, and who,
through smooth phrases are attempt
ing to lead the workers to believe
they will act-against themselves.

HEBREW TRADES CHIEFS
PREPARE FAKE STRIKE

NEW YORK.-The United Hebrew
Trades Butchers Union officials are
planning a fake strike to take place
very soon to speed up the business
of selling union signs and filling their
own pockets.
They have standing injunction
against the Food Workers Industrial
Union for every shop whose owner
pays them to put up union sign.
However, it seems that times are
hard, so they have decided to speed
up the sign business by having what
they call an organization strike"
The butcher workers will gain moth
ing. But in addition to the sign
graft some new sources may be de-
veloped by the takers of the U. H. T.
The butcher workers should give
the right answer to these takers by
joining the militant Food Workers
Industrial Union, the only union in
the food industry that fights for bet
ter conditions for the workers.

Will Be Killed

ports on many minor measures were receiped by both houses of the gen. cral assembly in half-hour sessions.
 Will Be Killed
 Norwalk, Conn, February IF -- (UP) - The South Norwalk Even- ing Sentinel said today it had learned from a prominent state republican leader" that @ measure introduced in the general assembly to curb tho appointive power of Governor Will bur l.. Cross would be killed in com mittee due to opposition by some re- publican senators.
 The measure, which would pro- vide for the continuance in office of the incumbent when the legisla- ture fails to confirm nomination of Q successor within IS days, has been attacked by democrats as a man. euver to save some state officials whose terms expire this year.
 The Sentinefs informant said sever republican senators were ready to vote with the 10 democrats of the upper branch to kill the bill. Only three would be needed to give the opposition a majority.
 Public sentiment, criticism in the state press and the sentiment among some members of the majority has CoHNiuccu tHc COIlInlltce q IaVOraDle report would be unwise, it was said.
 Carried Their Lunch
 Hartford. Conn, February 17 - UP) - Hundreds of wet and dry partisans flocked to the State Cap itol today for q legislative hearing on four measures to repeal or modi- fly the state prohibition enforcement act.
 As early as II a. m. the old senate chamber. chosen by the judiciary committee for this hearing because of its ample size. was jammed with spectators. most of them carrying basket and box lunches. During the two hours before the hearing was due to begin, at 2 p. m., they trans formed the dignified old chamber into crowded picnic ground.
 Rarely before in the history of the state legislature has a commit tee hearing attracted such intense interest, Capitol attaches said.
 Many of the early-comers were drys. who had been informed by their leaders that the vets intended to monopolize. the available space early and shut them out.

ASHES OF CIRCUS
 STAR WILL COME
 TO THIS COUNTRY
All That Is Left of Lillian Leitzel Will Be Brought
 Back By Her Husband
 and Buried in California

Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb 17 - The ashes of Lillian Leitzel, whose skill and grace carried her to the peak of fame under the canvas of many circus tents. will rest in Cali fornia. near the spot where she was planning to build "a wonderful home" when death ended her career. The body of the dainty aer- ialist whose careless defiance of haz ards had thrilled audiences all over the world lay earth-bound to-day in 6 crematorium where floral tributes brought by distinguished friends and lowly admirers almost covered the coffin. On Thursday the body will be cremated after services at which the English priest, Father Jeson. will officiate. Later the urn will be taken by her husband, AL States, where she achieved her great est fame, and to California. The famous aerialist had planned to re- tire to California in the next few years. ~
 II am continuing for three years more." Miss Leitzel said just before she went on for the performance which ended when her whirling body crashed to the floor. Then l will live in California "Yes, I am a litle nervous, but all who do danger GUS tricks are nervous. If anything goes wrong it all depends on whe- ther my fall is lucky one" She believed, immediately after her ac- cident, that she had had a lucky fall, but her injuries proved more serious than believed. Officials made a thorough investigation of the ap- paratius used by Miss Leitzel when she fell and reached verdict that no person was to blame for the ac- cident.
 Taps For Lillian
 New York, Feb IT. GU. P.) = The long roll of drums which al- ways accompanied the breath-tak- ing finale of Lillian LeitzeTs per formance, in which she whirled more than 100 times while suspend ed by one hand from a rope on the top of the circus tent, will be heard tonight at Madison Square Garden
 The memory of the famous circus actress who died Sunday in Copen- hagen when faulty apparatus broke will be honored in a ceremony just before the hockey game starts
 All lights will be extinguished in the Garden, and searchlight will pick out the figure of a man stand ing on the ice in the middle of the rink.
 He will raise his hand and say: Ito the memory of Lillian Leitzel God rest her soul"
 Then the bands will strike up 'Auld Lang Syne" in the darkness.
 At the last note the drums will start the long roll which will end the ceremony.
 Colonel John Hammond, vice-pres ident of the Madison Square Garden company, wrote the following letter yesterday to John Ringing, in whose circus Miss Leitzel once star red:
 Dear John: We are holding a ceremony In memory of Lillian Lett gel tomorrow night. I know how terribly her death will affect you She was just litle sweetheart, and all of us who saw her each year will cherish her memory for al time."
