DISARMINC FANATIC BY TALK

Mas, Hero of House Episode, Trained as
Deputy Sheriff, Cowpuncher and
Game Warden.

Allentown, Pa. stood sweeping the
chamber with his threatening gun and
demanding the right to be heard.

Instead Of getting down." Repre-
sentative Mas said, Il started toward
the man, thinking to get to where he
was and take the gun from him. I
changed my mind In . few seconds,
concluded he must be mentally de-
ranged, and knew must face him and
quietly talk with him.
II majored In psychology and
psychiatry at the University Of Mime
sofa and I knew q calm, quiet voice was
what he needed. Unless he was ex-
cited, he wouldn't shoot, figured, since
he had. not fired immediately. I think
he undoubtedly would have shot some
one II he had been rushed; In fact,
when some one approached him from
behind he did wheel around and
threaten to kill him.
Il approached until stood under
him and ~ began to climb over the
railing.

II tried to soothe him and said You
can talk, but give me the gun first
Danger il REALIZED.
"'An right. I'll give j. to you,' the
man said and pointed ta,s gun directly
at me.
THAT was the only time I had the
slightest misgiving AS looked up
the muzzle I said to myself, You fool,
look what you've got yourself into now
Il knew I must soothe him, so I
said. All right, son, you can talk. but

my hands and some one seized him
from behind. The gun was cooked md

to the commission and have not been
considered by the commissioners.
From his own viewpoint, the Secre-
tary added. he would be loath to halt
the work Of the commission to partlcl-
pate in exercises, inaSmuch as 1t Is
operating with a sharply curtalled
staff and is confronted with a volume
Of work that requires night hours.
Discussed With McGinty.
N. A. Meick, construction engineer
for the Treasury Department, who is
in charge Of construction at both Labor
and l. C. C. said that he first took up
the question of stone-laying exercises
with Mr. McGinty some time ago, when
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Heath. directing the building program;
had decided both stones should be laid
at the same time. He was advised then
that the commission would not be In
terested, he said
Secretary of Labor Doak desired a
ceremony for the Labor Department
Building, however, and, it was explained,
arranged a program in which the stone
would be placed under auspices Of the
Masonic Grand Lodge of the District,
with Grand Master Reuben A. Bogley
and his officers presiding.
Mr.. Melick then conceived the idea
of having a similar ceremony, simul-
taneously, at the I. C. c., with staff
of Masonic deputies silently going
through the rites.
Signal Lights to Be Used.
Signal lights will be used to syn
chronize the two ceremonies, the event
being the first Of its kind in this
country
The gavel and trowel to be used will
be those which Served George Wash
ington in laying the corner stone of
the Capitol.
The ceremony will get under way at
2 80 O'Clock, at the Labor Building site.
There will be music by the Marine
Band and then the invocation by Rev.
John j. Burke, general secretary of the
National Catholic Welfare Conference.
Secretary Doak will make the introduc-
tory address and President Hoover then
will speak. After band selection there
will be speeches by William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor and James c. Stewart, presi-
dent of James Stewart & Co., builders.
The stone will then be placed, the
band will play again and DR.. Abram
Simon of Eighth Street Synagogue will
give the benediction.
Both major chains will broadcast the
proceedings.

reply
We'll" a policeman asked, would
you like to have me come up to you and
explode a pocketful OF dynamite by
shooting gun into it?" Such plan,
Kemmerer had first said, was what he
intended to follow, II he was not
heard
That's the reason I didn't do It,
the prisoner said.
Gun Was Loaded.
did you really intend to shoot any
one who interfered with your Speech?'
Well" Kemmerer said. the gun
was loaded"
Then why did you throw the gun
away, down to the floor?" the lieuten-
ant continued.
Kemmerer explained the chairman
had raped for order, and several Rep
resentatives had stood up in their seats
and told him he would be allowed to
speak if he would throw away the gun.
He said he had been in the city since
Thursday, and had spent most OF the
time since In writing the speech ne
planned to deliver before the House.

RAILROADS ASK EASIER
LOANS FROM R. F. C.
Bill to Propose That Credit Be
Based on Ability to Pay, Not
Collateral.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 14.-E. G..
Buckland, president Of the Railroad
Credit Corporation, announced yester-
day that q bill designed to "liberalize"
the lending powers Of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation on railroad
loans will be submitted to Congress be-
fore Christmas.
The new measure. which has the sup
port Of the railroad industry, would
provide that the Finance Corporation
loan money to the roads on their ability
to pay, rather than on loan collateral
which is demanded under the present
regulations.
The railroads base their arguments in
support of the new bill on the success
of the Government in its 1920 loans.
More than $1,000,O00,000 was advanced
at that time, based on the railroads
ability to pay. The Government col
lected more than 5000, 900 in inter-
est, which more than Offset the total Of
loans, still uncollected.
The railroads state their collateral
has now reached the near-vanishing
point; hence, they will be unable in
many cases to provide such security for
future loans,

.BATTALIN0 is STRUCK
BY ANOTHER EXPRESS
frankie, Brother Of Billy Petrolle,
Defeats Former Champion, Who
Is Top-Heavy Choice.

NEW YORK, June 29.-F7stiana's IA
~ nous Fargo Express now runs in
two sections, as Bat Battalino will
testify Battalino, after being wrecked
twice by Billy Petrolle, the first section,
got in the way Of FRANKIE Petrolle, the
second section, at the Greensboro Sta
dium last night and was smashed up
a third time.
Frankie won six of the 10 rounds and
took the unanimous verdict OF referee
and judges.
Battalino, heavy favorite last night,
must be convinced that the Petrolles
have put a curse on him. 1t appears
that Bats next move should be to chal-
lenge Papa Petrolle, the man response
BILE for most of his troubles.
Al WE'LL, Greensboro matchmaker
who doubles in the same role for the
Aram A. c., was as hard hit as Bat
talino. WE'LL dropped Bat into the
Greensboro ring to give him an airing
in preparation for a joust with Jimmy
McLarnin at the Polo Grounds. That
match is out now. Probably Battalino
and Petrolle will be rematched. The
next time they should pack EN- in, Tor
their fight was savage battle from the
first gong to the last.
frankie had shown here only once
previously, having dropped decision to
Billy Townsend, another of his brother
victims, at the St. Nicholas last Win
ter. He was much better last night.
His recent Newark knockouts over
Mickey Bliss and Jackie Schupeck gave
him a world of confidence and he went
after Battalino as if the Hartford Tar
zan were just some tramp fighter in
stead of a former champion and re-
putedly one of the best men Of his
weight
