wise Dutch" Schultz, Bronx beer baron,
today in $4,000 bail pending DISPOSE
ton Of three indictments against him
for felonious assault and violations of
the Sullivan firearms law.
The move did not. however, officials
said. indicate the slightest hope to
racketeers and gangsters for peace in
the war against them by local. State
and Federal authorities. The next
month will see an intensive drive
against the underworld, 1t was as
serted, which SHOULD rid the city of
some of its public enemies"
Jack Diamond will be tried soon in
both Federal and State courts. At
torneys in a conference today agreed
that whatever prosecutor tried Dia-
mond first would lend" him to the
the first sentence in event Of con-
viction.
Diamonds name appears on the Fed
eral trial calendar for next Monday.
1t is doubtful. however, that he will
be tried for prohibition law violations
and conspiracy before he faces the
extraordinary term in Supreme Court
July l3.
Several reports on the racketeer in
come tax investigation by Hugh Nc
Quillan, chief of the intelligence unit
of the Department of Internal Revenue
in this district, have been forwarded
to Washington.
No action is likely to be taken by
the grand jury until August or Sep

tivities of agents and accountants at
work on specific cases each relating

SCHOOL TEACHERS
KILLING CONFESSED
Youth Arrested on Coast Ad-
mitS Staying Enid Marriott
in Colorado.
y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
STOCKTON, Calf, June 2o.-T7he
Staying of Miss Enid Marriott, school
teacher of Virgins, Colo, which had
baffled authorities for months, was con-
fessed voluntarily here today by John
Schopf1in, 21, who tcld police he killed
the young woman because she "gos-
slipped" about him.
In a statement to police the youth
said he shot Miss Marriott to death
the night of November IS. last, and
threw her body in an irrigation ditch
near Virgins. A searching party re-
covered the body January 1s, frozen
in huge cake of ice.
Schopf1in was one of a number OF
suspects taken into. custody by Colo
RADIO officers. He was released after
extensive questioning.
Identified by Woman.
A wreck, while riding in a stolen
automobile, resulted in his arrest here
last night.
He was grilled concerning several
local hold-ups and was identified by
Mrs. Catherine Witt as the youth who
picked her up in motor car here
April 3 and criminally assaulted her.
Schopf1in denied Mrs. Wits accusa-
ton. After several hours of question
ing he turned suddenly on the detec-
tives.
IF you want something like that"
he said, III give you something that
will take me Let further than that
would take me.
Remember the woman that was
killed and thrown In the creek last
November in Colorado? Well, did it. !"
Further questioning brought addi-
tional details OF the crime. He de-
scribed Enid Marriott as a woman that
always wanted to be doing something
and saying something" He said she
was always Dustin into things, telling
on bootleggers and talking lot"
"She talked about me going with
a married lady" he said. And she
talked too much, so stopped her.
Describes Staying.
"I met her on the night Of November
Is as she got of the train at Virgins
and took her in my car. We drove
about 10 miles from town and stopped
on the bridge. We got out of the car.
i
I told her I was going to kill her and
pulled the gun. She said oh, God
don't 7 shot the contents Of the 38-
caliber revolver ct her. l think there
we're five shots, but do not know how
many hit her. Her body fell into the
irrigation ditch and I threw her books
in after her.
After the shooting I drove back to
the town CT Omar, where 1 had been
working. The gun belonged to boy
named Mitchell Adams of Virgins. ]
threw 1t away along the railroad right
of way. There was no one else i'm
plicated IN this crime"
After the murder, he said, he stayed
at the town for a time and on one
occasion he thought he was gone" At
that time Sheriff Johnston examined
the tires of his car in an effort to
trace the slayer, but found nothing in
eliminating III the tread design.
Schopflin also admitted hold-up here
in 1928, duplicating his brother. now
in the Army in the Philippine Islands.

hand toward a sculptured bust on a
pedestal near his desk.
Look at George Washington" he
shouted. did George Washington wear
whiskers? Did Thomas jefferson wear
whiskers? Did any Of the great men OF
that period wear them? No, sir. Look at
all these pictures and busts around my
office. Not whisker in sight"
Bloom said he had been informed by
reliable persons that whiskers did not
come into general use until few years
before the Civil War.
IF Mr.. Jahncke was Just joking about
the whiskers." he declared, then /
want to say that his joke has whiskers
on 1t. I don't think he ought to be
joking about serious patriotic propo-
sition such as the restoration Of the
Constitution.
Mr.. Jahncke is quoted as saying that
the ship doesn't have sails enough to
move her under her own power I be-
lieve Mr. Johncke has been misinformed
on this point. 1t is inconceivable to me
that the Government would restore Old
Ironsides only half way"
Mr.. Jahncke amended his statement
regarding the shortage Of canvas on the
Constitution when he learned that the
ship had been completely rigged with
30 sails having an area of 12,500 square
yards.
He first was under the impression
that the ship had no sailing canvas,
since the Navy was without funds to
purchase it, but was informed that the
Wellington, Sears Manufacturing Co.
Of New York had donated the full set
as patriotic gesture"
AS for the type of uniforms worn in
1912, Mr.. Bloom has dug into naval rec
ords and Is ready to tell the Navy Just
how the crew should be attired. The
records show that while there was a
prescribed uniform for officers, the reg
ulations permitted seamen to dress
about as they pleased. In 1917, how
ever, standard uniform for the en-
listed men was adopted. 1t called for
blue jacket and trousers, red vest with
yellow buttons and black hat for Win
ter wear. and white duck jackets,
trousers and vests" in Summer.
"Whiskers were not part Of the
prescribed uniform" Bloom pointed out.
II defy any one to prove that sailors on
the Constitution didn't have a close
shave. I don't intend to give up the
ship in this fight for full restoration of
Old Ironsides. I'm going down to the
Navy Department and beard Mr..
Jahncke In his own den."

CHURCH SITUATION !.
GRAVE, SAYS POPE
Accord Not in Sight and Ne.
gotiations With Italy Held
Hardly Begun.
By the Associated Press.

ROME, June 2o.--A declaration by.
the Pope that no accord Is in sight
with Premier Mussolini's government
made a dark picture today Of what
the government yesterday described Is
a fairly optimistic situation.
The Pope said that "odious" spying,
prosecutions, accusations and CON
tinual menaces" have been reported by
the bishops of Italy. He gave q much
different view of his negotiations with
the government than the one CONF
ing from the government sources. Z
The Pope resumed his policy of say

of Catholic youth. To group Of

AS for the negotiations with the
government, he declared they are not
even really started. To this govern
ment officials replied only that the
exchange of notes was proceeding nor a

Semi-oficial estimates are that 49,
900 of the $4,000 Catholic clubs in =
Italy were closed by Mlssolini's order i,

These dissolved" clubs, his holi- =
ness said, are not allowed to meet :
silently and there is espionage and Il
continued menaces."
Referring to the Fascists without
naming them, the Pope declared they,
appear to be trying to have 1t be-,
lieved, especially abroad, that things
are not so very grave, that the Incl,
dents have been insignificant and .
sporadic, that all is passed and tram :
quillity restored.
Exactly the contrary Is true-the
truth lies In the contrary Of all that :
they seek TO have believed even In
their country. We are not on the :
way to an accord and the negotiations
are not even begun. Not only have we
not entered a state of tranquility, but .
everything possible has been done TO

RETURN OF FLEET
KNOWN TO BOARD
U. S. Officials Say No Action
Is Contemplated on Gov
ernment Ownership.

United States Shipping Board off,
cials yesterday disclosed familiarity
with the situation which has led the
purchasers of the United States Lines
to consider returning all or part OF the
big feet to Government ownership.
They said, however, that no definite
proposals had been advanced and that
no action was contemplated at this
time.
Meanwhile, the situation Of the
United States Lines was made the sub
ject of a new Democratic attack on
the 1880 tariff act. Senator William H.
King, Democrat, OF Utah, in a state
ment issued by the Bureau of Publicity
of the Democratic National Committee,
said the corporations had been COM
PEELED to take steps to turn back the
feet because of heavy shrinkage in
foreign trade "due to the operation of
the Hawley-Smoot tariff" The state
ment said in part:
Daily we are reminded of the serious
effects Of the provincial and isolation
ist policies Of the party in power It's
boastings and shoutings have been ST.
fenced by the lamentations of the people
and the increasing tide of criticism
which presages defeat of the Republi-
can Party at the coming election. Re-
publican policies have weakened our
industrial and economic structure and
brought Nationwide woe and distress
to the people.
Enormous subsidies have been
granted to the shipping concerns, under
the plea that We must have a merchant
marine that would carry our flag and
products to every part Of the world
and yet measures have been enacted
and policies pursued to cut of our
trade with foreign nations.
These policies have closed mills fac
tories and mines, almost destroyed ag-
riculture and driven millions of farm
ers from their homes and have reduced
our exports hundreds Of millions of
dollars and threatened our merchant
marine which has been the recipient of
governmental favors and munihcent
bounties.
Sooner or later the American peo-
pie will learn that neither men nor ma
tions can live alone. The world is small
and growing smaller, and good will
among all nations and cooperation
among all peoples are indispensable to
national peace and prosperity

the normal Federal-aid roads fund for
1881, he declared. To speed up en-
ployment, he asserted, the President
had directed it be made Immediately
available to the States for road con-
struction. President Hoover boosted
the program by recommending a
further emergency appropriation of
$50. 900, 900 to be loaned to the States so
they could match Federal funds al
ready available, he declared, and an
other $9,000,0 900 was added for forest
roads and trails. The last two appro-
priations became available six months
ago, Secretary Hyde said, and today
the volume of unfinished road work
now going forward is $3.50 900 900.
More than 100000 men have been en-
ployed directly on Federal-aid projects;
100000 more have been employed on
State work which this expanded pro-
gram has largely made possible, he de-
clared.
"We estimate that, in all, 100000
men have been given employment.

these emergency funds" Secretary
Hyde asserted

NEW GRADUATES OF WEST POINT

Good Feeling Between Services

A newly graduated second lieutenant
Of the Army will join the midshipmen's
cruise next week as an innovation in
a policy which Acting Secretary Ernest
Lee Jahncke of the Navy hopes to see
extended, as a means of promoting
better feeling between the sister serv-
ices. Second Lieut.. Marshall S. Carter,
son of Col. Clifton c. Carter. U. S. A.
head of the department of natural
and experimental philosophy at West
Point, will join the U. S. S. Arkansas

were made with West Point authorities
by Acting Secretary Jahncke and Rear
Admiral Frank 3. Upham, chief Of the
Bureau of Navigation.
Mr. Jahncke said today that he
would like to see half dozen or more
West Point cadets or new Army officers
take the midshipmen's cruise annually.
and similarly have an equal number of
midshipmen or ensigns go to West
Point during the Summer months to
ascertain first hand how the Army
does things on the Hudson. The bene-
fits Of such a policy. he believes. would
be incalculable and stimulate a frater-
nal spirit among the national defense

OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE.

If the Democrats retain their majority Tn the National House of Representatives their party VIII have an opportunity for public service which has come to but few of it's members in recent years Tn many of the House members thus elevated tc prominence. Seldom in timas of peace has the nation been confronted with so many grave proo- lems Had the House organization been retained by the Republican Party, it would have been charged With the duty of solving them. In taking over the House control the Democrats also take with 1t the responsibilities it entails.
 It would be entirely too much to expect that they will not use their power for political advantage to their own party Politics being what it is, ii is but natural for them to seek to advance the cause of party in and out of season. With President of the opposing party in office there will be occasions in abundance for partisan political maneuvering Used legtmately, the country will not be critical of it. But if the Democrats in theil zeal to promote the party's fortune. go beyond that point if they adopt sharpshootng tactics against every Administration policy just because it is Re- publican, they are certain to hurt their cause badly
 Under existing national conditions, the best evi- dence of Democratic wisdom, capacity for govern ment and ability to apply it, will be devotion te public service without regard for partisan welfare And that too will in the end prove to be tht best sort of partisan politics If the House. under Democratic control, can in measure bring re- lief to the nations distressed people industries business it will not find them ungrateful or un mindful of that fact when the ballots beinl cast in the 1882 general elections
