Records Of Alleged Denver Gangsters
Revealed.
DENVER, March IA (P.-Three Col-
orado men who are known police char
acters were arrested February 16 in
Jersey City, N. j., for carrying con-
cealed weapons and were held there
while police investigated their presence
in the region.
They told Jersey City police they
were waiting for the big boss" They
were released after investigation. They
were August Marino, later arrested in
Denver on a liquor charge; Charles
Banda, Pueblo, Colo, who was shot in
the back several days ago in Southern
Colorado and refused to name his as
sailant, and Eugene Checkers" Small
done, reputed gangster, who was men
toned for time In the Benjamin p
Bower kidnapping case in Denver when
he accepted a letter for delivery to the
kidnapped man.
Joe Roma, reputed Denver gang lead
er, made an airplane trip to New Jersey
at about the time the trio was arrested
in Jersey City to "buy groceries for my
store" Denver police believed then he
was the big boss" referred to by the
prisoners. >. ~
Roma and Smaldone entered the
Bower case when Mrs. Bower received
a note from her husband instructing
her to deal with "the biggest gangster
in North Denver" After consultation
with Police Chief Albert T. Clark, Mrs
Bower gave letter to Roma to be de-
livered to her husband and another to
Smaldone on instructions from Clark
Both men accepted the letters, but
claimed they did so only on instruc-
tions from Clark. The chief substan-
accede to popular demand they be prose-
cuted as accessories in the kidnapping.
Roma was indicted two weeks ago for
assault with intent to murder L. Balde-
sareli, Federal undercover agent, whose
activities led to the breaking up year
ago Of the Carlino gang, Colorado boot
leggers and arSonists.

DRIVE ON BOARDING
AIDED BY WOMEN
City Club Forwards Sugges-
ton Small Bills Be Paid
on Time.

Practical suggestions from the
Women's City Club for bringing
boarded money back into circulation
include a recommendation to pay small
bills on time.
This developed at recent meeting
of the Board of Directors Of the club.
according to Mrs. William Lee Corbin,
president of the club, who today
passed the suggestion on to Newbold
Noyes, chairman of the local anti
boarding committee.
A formal resolution approving the
drive to put idle dollars to work was
passed, Mrs. Corbin reported, will be
discussed again at the April meeting
and will be taken up in the forthcom-
ing issue of the bulletin, a copy OF
which is sent to each member OF the
club.
"One or two suggestions were offered
during the discussion Of the board
meeting" Mrs. Corbin said, "one was
that people pay their small bills on time
-dresSmakers', washerwomen's and
laundry bills being specially men
toned"
Another proposal made, Mrs. Corbin
said. was that I'VE keep out of new
society now fourishing in Washington
and known as the New Poor made up
of people who refuse to pay their bills
because their next door neighbors can
not afford to pay theirs"

BABY STILL ALIVE,
! RELATIVE BELIEVES
Mrs. Rebekah Greathouse
Cites Skill of Kidnapers as
Basis of Hope.

The apparent skill of the kidnapers
indicates that the Lindebrgh baby will
be returned alive, Mrs Rebekah Great
house, assistant United States attorney
here and a first cousin of Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh, said today. Mrs. Great
house has spent several days at the
Morrow home and at Princeton, lending
assistance to the attempt to locate the
child.
Mrs. Greathouse dropped her duties
at the District Supreme Court the day
after the kidnapping and left for New
Jersey. Since her return to Washing
ton she has been in communication with
members of the family by telephone.
She has long been close to Mrs. Lind
bergh.
What comforts me most Is the skill
OF the kidnapers," she said. "It seems
to me that If they could accomplish
the thing as they did they ought to be
clever enough to get him home un-
harmed-particularly with every as
sistance available"
Mytified by Rosner.
1t was evident that Morris Rosner,
supposed go-between in efforts to re-
cover Baby Lindbergh, was as much
mystery man to Mrs. Greathouse as he
is said to be to police.
But she removed this circumstance
from consideration as a disclaimer OF
Rosner's publicity expressed optimism
by explaining that the great anxiety of
~1e baby's parents to avoid impeding
his return prevented those closest to
them from questioning them about
possible direct negotiations.
"The one thing in which the whole
family is interested-the only thing
she emphasized, "iS getting the baby
back. Every other consideration is
ruled out You ask about a Federal
penalty for kidnapping? That. too, seems
Superfiuous, for all that I and the rest
of us are concentrating on Is the re-
turn of the baby"
Of Anne Lindbergh's health, Mrs.
Greathouse spoke hopefully, but not
overconfldently. She said:
'She always had lot of grit. When
was there was told she had been
terribly brave. But you know the ef-
feet of strain like that is cumula-
tive"
Saw Famous Baby Often.
A daughter Of Mrs. Agnes M. Scan
drett, sister Of the late Senator Dwight
W. Morrow Mrs. Greathouse was
Feared IN Pittsburgh, but spent many
Summer vacations with her cousins.
She was educated at Smith College
and the Washington College of Law,
and became a public officer in 1925
She, too, has felt the strain of the
kidnapping, for she saw the Lindbergh
baby often, the last time during last
June.
She is concerned also about her
mother, because Mrs. Scandrett has
been at sea throughout the search. She
sailed from Constantinople on a slow
boat last February, undoubtedly re-
ceived news of the calamity by radio,
and will not reach home until March 90
Though she has no definite plans,
Mrs. Greathouse probably will return to
New Jersey If the search Is not success
full soon.

she said. IT simply had to go and offer
whatever assistance could give, and
shouldn't be surprised II I simply
had to go again"

SENATE PASSES
| SIX D. c. BILLS
BIaine's Real Estate and
Security Measures Are
Among Number.

The Senate this afternoon passed six
local measures, including the two Blaine
bills to license real estate brokers and
statesmen and to control the promo
ton and sale Of stocks and bonds in
Washington.
The other four bills were:
Authorizing an appropriation Of
s50, 1000 for Casualty Hospital requir-
ing insurance companies hereafter or
ganiZed under District laws to main
tain a headquarters and keep their
principal records in the District;
changing the name of the Acacia Mu-
tual Life Association to the Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Co., and broad
ening its charter in several other re-
spects; to correct part of the build
ing line on Georgia avenue, north Of
Princeton place.
Bill Goes to President.
The aforementioned bill relating to
Georgia avenue had previously passed
the House and goes to the President.
The other five bills still require House
action.
The two bills relating to real estate
business and the sale OF securities
passed the Senate in the last Congress,
but failed 10 get through the House
and, therefore, had to be reintroduced
when this Congress met.
The real estate measure sets up a
commission of three members, one of
whom would be the District assessor,
vested with authority to license those
engaged in the real estate business and
with power to revoke licenses after
enumerated in the bill.
Allows Right of Appeal.
The bill allows the right of appeal to
the District Supreme Court to any one
who Is denied license or whose license
Is revoked. The District assessor woIAd
serve ex-officio on the Real Estate Com
mission, without additional salary. TlM
other two members would be appointed
by the District Commissioners at SAL
aries not to exceed $4,000 a year each.
The commission would have authority
to inquire into the character, reliability
and competency of applicants for Ii
censes. Brokers would pay a SIS an
nual license and statesmen a IS annual
license.
The securities bill places control over
the sale of stocks and bonds in the
Public Utilities Commission, to be ad-
ministered by bureau in and under
the commission. The bill contains de-
tailed requirements for the registration
Of stock and bond issues and specifies
certain kinds Of securities to which the
measure would not apply. 1t would en-
able the commission to apply to the
courts for injunctions for the purpose
Of preventing the sale of securities when
the commission deems such action
necessary.

ANNAPOLIS, March 14-The United
States District Court in Baltimore will
be called upon to test the validity of
the States tax exemption of the wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Elec-
trio Railway for the next two years.
Mayor Walter E. Quenstedt announced
today Annapolis had filed an appeal
from the State Legislatures action with
the Federal group. City Counselor
Roscoe c. Rowe has filed the protest,
holding the tax exemption measure is
unconstitutional.
While the appeal filed involves only
Annapolis, q decision in favor Of the
city would involve many sections Of
the State. Counselor Rowe reports
Baltimore's mayor and City Council
plan similar attack upon the validity
of the railways exemption.
The question of renewing the rail-
roads franchise to operate through the
city streets also will be debated by city
officials tonight.
Mrs. Katherine Linthicum, city clerk,
has many petitions protesting against
renewal of the franchise after July /,
when the existing contract expires. It
is reported that delegations opposed to
further agreement between the city
and the W., B. g. A. will appear to-
night. The general feeling Is that the
heavy railway cars should be stopped
at their respective stations and buses
operated through the city to meet with
the Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry. The
