:. Are Fighting Mad"
At the same time the two
Democratic legislative chiefs,
Senator John ]. Dunnigan and
AssembIyman Irwin Steingut, did
not attempt to conceal the fact
that they are fighting mad" at
Governor Roosevelt.
The Governors message to the
opening session of the special
meeting of the legislature dealt
only with a recommendation that
the Hofstadter committee be en-
powered to grant immunity to
witnesses.
Five minutes after Governor
Roosevelt's message urging that
the HofStadter committee be en-
powered to grant immunity was,
made public at the capitol, SEN
ator Dunnigan issued statement
bitterly assailing the proposal.
Open War Expected
In some quarters, DunniJan's
statement was looked upon as
the opening in a war to the
finish between Roosevelt and
Tammany.
Dunnigan said the proposal to
empower the Hofstadter commit
tee to grant immunity was "un-
fair, unjust, inhuman, despotic,
high-handed," and that it was
"unsound in principle and en-
couraging to criminals" He
added:
'If this high binding Repub-
lican bill becomes law, it will
place the Republican party in
a position to hold star cham.
ber proceedings in any manner
it sees fit, not only to their
greedy, personal benefit, but to
the detriment Of the State as q
governmental body and its citi-
zenS as well.
This bill is an invitation to
criminals to secure immunity
In return for spreading SIander
against those opposed politically
to the Republican party"

Dole Believed Barrier to Ex-
tension Of Credit BY This
Nation; Precedent IS Seen
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

A@ANA@Ne~
Officialdom here maintained ar
attitude Of silence today concern
ing charges published in London
that American bankers con-
tributed to the collapse of the
Macdonald ministry by refusing
to extend further needed gold
credit unless certain reforms we're
executed in the British budget.
1t was not denied, however,
that officials of the Federal Re
serve Bank of New York may have
suggested" or advised" certain
economies in the British budgetary
system. before expanding the
original credit of $3.50 900, 900, or
making new commitments.
Dole Is Barrier
That these suggestions had to
do with the dole, which Is one of
the greatest items in the British
budget, Is generally acknowledged.
The dole has been draining more
and more money out of the British
treasury, despite efforts to check
it.
When London was the worlds
banking capital, British bankers
did not hesitate to exact reforms
in other governments before ex.
tending credit. Financial history
is replete with such instances.
British Prestige Hurt
That the present case is damag-
ing to British prestige is acknoWl.
edged here.
If the terms insisted upon by
the United States created a divi
sion in British politics that is re
garded here as an unfortunate
outgrowth in the matter-but one
which is none of. this Govern
ment's business.
There is, as a matter of fact,
keen regret in administration
quarters over the downfall of the
labor government, although this
regret is tempered by the fact that
Premier Macdonald apparently is
to continue in office at the head
Of coalition cabinet.

Bamboo Singer

Young Indian braves. desiring to initiate
their fathers with the bow and arrow, used
to select dried hollow weed stalks, plug one
end with mud, and use this device to send
small stones, round nuts and pebbles great dis
tances. Although the device easily permitted
them to drive missile with great force, there
never any particularly accuracy involved.
Yet it contented them until the time came
when they, too could use the bow. And some
of the more persevering were able to bring
down small game. One of their favorite stunts
was to fill the stalk for about inches with
hard gravel and then discharge it into flock
of birds. Quite often they would bring down
more than one bird with single shot.
An up-to-date imitation Of this singer can
be made from 30-inch piece of bamboo. You
can have lot of fun with it, for the projec-
tiles are sent great distances, and the device
makes ideal camp stunt or it can be used
for practice purposes back of the house And
with practice you can become skilled.
Select the bamboo stalk and get a resnd

and his eyes never left the inside of the lighted
observation car. Evidently he did not intend
to be taken by surprise.
THE heat was simply awful in that berth of
mine Helene went ON. Il couldn't sleep
wink"
1T was pretty bad in mine, too" answered
Vic. But think maybe you get more air In
an upper"
The man was evidently disarmed by their
conversation Vic decided that the suspect
must have finally found his little drawing
room simply unbearabe in the heat, and left
it fer a breath Of air, feeling safe on the very
end of the train, sitting in such way that
any enemy must approach him from the front.
Vic then became conscious that the train
had stopped. He noticed a few buildings be-
side the tracks, and decided that they must
be getting water or switching car.
FER some five minutes the train began to
move again. It had picked up very little
speed when Vic, glancing over the shoulder Of
the robber suspect. almost jumped from his
chair in surprise. Over the rear railing Of the
platform there appeared first the hand then
the arm, and finally the head Of q man. It
was Mr.. Ryan, who had evidently come down
the track while the train was stopped and was
taking his quarry by surprise from the rear!
For the few seconds necessary, Vic man
aged to keep his face a mask. Then with a
quick motion, Mr.. Ryan poked a gun into the
back Of the unsuspecting robber, and said
sharply, Don't move! I'm . police onicer,
and you are under arrest"
Vic saw q look Of shocked bewilderment cross
the evil face of the man, but It was quickly
followed by one Of hate and cunning. Mr..
Ryan slowly and carefully began to climb over
the railing to the platform. keeping his re-
volver leveled at his prisoners back.
But the robber could see the detectives re-
Election in the glass door Of the car. As Mr..
Ryan threw his leg over the railing, he had to
lower the gun for the fraction of q second to
grip the rail- That gave the robber his
chance. With a quick leap, he swung around.
struck the gun upward, and knocked the de-
tective backward. Mr.. Ryan fought to save
himself, failed, and fell backward to the track,
as Helene screamed In alarm. Then, as the
train slowly gathered speed, the robber turned,
opened the door, and dashed into the train.
