POPE REJECTED THE COMPROMISE
 OF MUSSOLINl
All Clubs Must Be Reopened or They Will Remain Closed = Pope Is Only One With Right to Close Them

Rome. June 6-UP)-Pope Plus XI has rejected a purported com promise move made by Premier Benito Mussolini in an effort to placate the pontiff and terminate the controversy between the fastest regime and the Holy See, 1t was un- derstood to-day.
 The government was said to have offered to permit the reopening of Catholic young women's clubs. which were closed when the fascist government disbanded part of the Azione Cattolica, laymen's organ ization, on charges of political ac- tivities against fascism.
 The Pope, rejecting the reported offer, was understood to have said:
 Either all will be re-opened or all will remain closed. There is only one person who can order disband- ment of the Azione Cattolica, or it's branches. That person is the Pope.
 If others order it then it is a violation of a pact which has been solemnly agreed to-
 The last reference was apparent ly to the Lateran accord under which the sovereignty of the Pope was agreed to by the Italian govern ment. and to the concordat enforc- ing the accord, which gave him cer- tain powers.

AL CAP0NE

Federal Government Seems to Have Trapped the Great Gang Chieftain- Owes Govt S2l5,O80.4S In Income Taxes

Chicago. June 6.-(UP)--The in- dictment and surrencer of Scarface Al Capone on charges of evading income tax payments was hailed to- day throughout Chicago as marking definitely the downfall of the most powerful and elusive gang chieftain in local or American history.
 Federal, state and city officials, as well as all newspapers, agreed that Capone's chances of escaping convicted and imprisonment were slight.
 Such predictions were based upon the record of United States District Attorney George E. O. Johnson, Johnson, who brought about Ca pone's indictment after three years of work during which many lesser ganGsters were captured and many stills destroyed and in which as many as 50 government agents en- gagged at times.
 Capone, the chief of all gang chiefs, was the ninth gangster in- dicted. Johnson has been success ful in his prosecution of the previ- ous eight; it was considered safe to predict he would be successful

MRS STILLMAN OF DIVORCE FAME
 MARRIED AGAIN
This Time She Weds Fowler McC Cormack, Who Is 20
 Years Younger Than Her

New York, June 6-(U. P.) The tempestuous marital life which has taken the James A.. Stillman's through one court after another over a. period of II years, was definitely at an end to-day with the signing of a final divorce decree and the mar riage of Mrs Anne Urquhart Still man to Fowler. Mccormick, son Of Harold F. McCormcik of Chicago. and grandson of John D. Rockefeller and Cyrus H. Mccormick.
 Mrs Sillman's divorce and her marriage to Mccormick, 20 years her junior, were as surprising and as unexpected as her recent recon ciliation with Stillman after five years of court litigation, charges and counter charges of infidelity which brought to light the most intimate details of their married life. At that time Mrs Stillman had dviorce ac- ton pending. but she dropped this suddenly and sailed with Stillman on the Olympic on February 6. 1s26.
 Supreme Court Justice Joseph Morschauser signed the final decree at New City, N. Y.. and 1t was filed at the county clerks office at Pough- keepsie yesterday.
 Mrs Stillman and Mccormick were married at the home of John D. Rockefeller, ST. in Pocantico Hills, N. Y., at { o'clock Thursday after noon by Justice Kraham A. Wits chief of Newburgh. The witnesses were John D. Mack. Mrs Stillman's lawyer. who announced the marriage last night, and Mrs James Stiilman, Jr.. Mrs Stillman's daughter-in.law

MAYOR CURLEY OF
 BOSTON ADMIRES RULERS OF ITALY
Lauds Mussolini and King
 Victor Emmanuel -Criti- cises Hoover and Mellon

Paris, June - (UP)-Mayor James M. Curley of Boston. on his way home after a tour of the British Isles and Europe, lauded Premier Benito Mussolini and. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy to-day.
 Curley criticized President Hoover and Secretary of Treasury Mellon in an interview prior to the departure of the boat train to the liner Levia- than on which he is returning to the United States.
 "Mussolini is a wonderful head of nation." Mayor Curley said. Hoover is exactly the opposite type. Mussolini believes in spending pub lie money for the public good, offer ing advantages and opportunities and thereby providing employment.
 "Hoover's activities are directed by Mellon. who is still living in the Civil war period"
 King Victor Emmanuel is a kindly, well-disposed gentleman. he told me he was glad to meet some body who was not yes man."
 Mayor Curley was received by Mussolini and the king in Rome re- gently. He also had an audience with Pope Plus XI.

DELANEY'S CAMP TRAGEDY MAY NOT
 PROVE so TRAGIC
Rumor Now Is That Missing Former State Senator Did Not Fall in the Lake

The Weirs, N. H.. June 6-(UP)
 - The Chelso ArriSoni disappear ance mystery assumed a new angle today. Investigators claimed to have obtained a statement from q witness quoting the missing former state senator of Connecticut as hay ing said he would ''go to China and forget it all." This information was said to have been furnished by George H. Billings of Long Island City, N. Y.. who claimed it had been reported to him by Miss Catherine Hance, Auburn haired beauty prize winner, friend of Arrigoni, and one of party at Jack Delaneys camp.
 The young woman was in se- olusion today. waiting further ques- tioning, at the direction of Attor- ney-General Ralph W. Davis. Pos sibility that the 31-year-old ex-sen- ator had not drowned in Lake Win nepesaukee, as previously presumed but had disappeared voluntarily be- cause of financial worries or for some other reason, was considered by authorities after extensive search of the lake failed to reveal any trace of the body.

Not

 For That Goal
Republicans Believe the Governor of New York Will Be Their Competitor Next Year-But There Is a Host of Possibilities in Democrat Ranks INSPIRING RACE

BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

(Unlted FfeSS stan Correspondent.)
 Washington. June 6.-(UP)- Whereas republicans are fairly con- fident their opponent in the presi- dential campaign next year will be Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, democrats on the other hand are more in doubt.
 Roosevelt appears as the most conspicuous candidate at the mo- ment, but the line of rival candi- dates is beginning to form on the right Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, the most resplen- dent figure, satorially and rhetori- cally, in public life, has been en- dorsed as the favorite son of Illi- nois by Mayor Cermak's powerful organization in Chicago, according to press reports. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland has the en- dorsement of the Maryland legisla- ture, and his friends are at work in other states. He stepped aside for Alfred E. Smith in 1928, but this year he intends to stay in. Both Ritchie and Lewis are for repeal of the 18th amendment. as is Roose- welt.
 In addition Senator Joseph. IT..
  dential candidate with Smith three years ago, is expected to be an earn est contender.
 Harry F. Byrd. former governor of Virginia may be the favorite son of his state. His main object is to prevent a prohibition repeal plank in the next natoinal platform. He was one of the leaders in the rebel Inc at the democratic national com mittee meeting here last spring, when Chairman John J. Raskob was openly challenged in his attempt to put the committee on the anti-pro hibition side.
 Ohio has several possibilities Governor George White, former Gov James M. Cox, presidential candidate in 1920 and Newton D. Baker. for mer secretary of war. Baker is most talked of nationally of tho three, though Cox made strongim-

.LINDBERCH MAY CHANCE ROUTE TO
 CROSS THE SEA
May Go Over the Atlantic Again-But He Will Not Discuss His Plans Just Yet

New York. June 6-CUP)-Col- onel and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergn had under consideration to-day a plan to fly by way of Greenland and Spitzbergen to the Orient. as an al- formative to the projected trans-Pa cific flight to China and Japan. Should the colonel decide on this route instead of the Alaska and Aleutian Island route. the flight would take him across the Atlantic by airplane for the second time. much of it across the AtlanticHHR much of it in the Arctic regions, over Europe and Asia and south ward into China through Mongolia. coast of Siberia would cover approx imately 4,500 miles.
 Lindbergh said he was consider ing this route among others, but de- clined to discuss it. repeating that his plans still were undetermined. If he follows this plan and flies oyer Greenland and Spitzbergen. it would be necessary for him to obtain per mission from the Danish govern ment, which owns the islands, tO land and arrange fuel and supply bases.
 He expects to be ready for the flight in about a month, but. like on his famous transatlantic flight, he probably will not set 8 definite date and time of departure until just be- fore the start.
 Mechanics at the Glenn H. Curtiss airport in North Beach. Long Island have virtually completed covering Colonel Lindbergh's Lockheed- Sirius airplane into a flying boat by putting pontoons on the under carl. riage.

SOVIET RUSSIA JUMPS AHEAD OF
 WIZARD EDISON
They May Have Succeeded in Manufacturing Rubber From Oil-Guard Secret

Moscow, June 6-UP)-The so- viet government is jealously guard ing the vital secret of how its fac tories hope to manufacture rubber from oil on a commercial scale. A short item in the Moscow 'Izvestia" reported that the Leningrad rubber trust factory had produced more than half a ton of commercial rub Der from oil through a mysterious process. It was also stated that this batch of rubber was sent to the Red Triangle factory for the manufac- ture of various rubber goods.
 Efforts to manufacture synthetic rubber from oil were begun in 1918. Soviet laboratories had been busily engaged on a solution of this prob- lem for the last 13 years. This was, however, the first time that syn thetic rubber was produced from oil on a commercial scale, and at pro- duction costs presumably below that of rubber produced from plants.

 of Maryland Would Be Good Presidential Choice

Local dem ocrats, judging from ex- pressions of opinion. will favor either Governor Franklin D. Roose- welt of New York or Governor AL bert Ritchie of Maryland for the presidential nomination at the na- tional convention next spring. This feeling here appears to be in line with general stand throughout the state to the effect that either of these two men should be given seri- ous consideration for the nomina- tion before being cast aside for any, one else.
 However. it is reported from reliable source that the forces which in 1924 opposed the endorsement by the Connecticut delegates of ex- Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York and held out some votes for William G. McAdoo of California are now planning to enter the state con-

GERMAN FLYING BOAT READY FOR
 UNITED STATES
Will Make Short Visit at Brazilian Ports and Then Head for This Country

Natal, Brazil, June 6-(UP)-- The DO-X, German flying boat, will proceed northward on it's way to New York after a brief visit at Bra gillian ports, it was definitely an- nounced to-day. Captain Friedrich Christiansen, in command. said he hoped to leave for Rio de Janeiro shortly for a brief visit in the Bra gillian capital. He doubted that they would take the big trans Atlantic flying yacht further south than Rio. however, desiring to hasten on to the United States.
 The DO-x landed here yesterday from Ferando Noronha, a Brazilian island 125 miles off Natal, after a swift, uneventful flight over the south Atlantic from Europe by way of West Africa and the Cape Verde Islands. The cruise over the ocean was made without mishap, success fully ending this phase of the long delayed flight which began last No- vember at Altenrhein, Switzerland.
