State Department officials boldly
whispered that the appointment was
political" when 1t was made, but they
did not realize how political it was until
Miss Stevens proposition burst like 9
fire cracker under the nose Of State
Secretary Hull.
On orders from Mr.. Roosevelt. the
Secretary of State and Miss Breckin-
ridge tried to laugh off the resolution
and forget it. They found Miss Stevens
had worked up such strength for it,
they could not.
They wired the White House for in
structions.
Mrs. Roosevelt Declines.
Whether Mrs. Roosevelt played any
part in the ultimate solution of the
problem will probably never be known
Openly she took no part. In fact one
women's organization went to the
White House and asked her specifically
to use her influence for the Stevens
treaty and she declined. As a reason
she cited her general rule meyer to
participate in political matters.
At the White House. however, SIM
pie, commonSense solution was worked
out.
1t was agreed the International Con-
ference could take no action about civil
rights because it deals with interna-
tional problems only. That ruled ou!
the crux of the Stevens treaty. TIC
mitigate that blow, it was explained
that Hull, Attorney General Cumming
and Miss Perkins were working on tina,
question here now.
Also helpful was the decision to let
the conference adopt a women's ma
tionahty resolution. 1t does not mean
much. Authorities believe 1t will af-
feet no more than 10 cases out of q
generation. It will apply only to Amer
lean women who marry foreign royalty
and whose children are born on for
eign SOIL 1t specifies the children
shall have q right to determine their
own nationality.
The ultimate result OF the Steuens
treaty toray therefore Is q little
more than nothing.
The authorities here attribute oil
the trouble to the fact that Miss
Stevens got little ahead OF the
feminist parade in iUhich Mr.. R0ose-
pelt also is marching.
You may rest assured that this ad-
ministration will ultimately advocate
any equal rights that are lying around
loose, but it will do it in its own way
That is. 1t will unless Miss Stevens
lights some more fire-crackers in un-
expected places.
Real tears are being shed in high
places because the House Ways and
Means Committee refused to adopt
the Roosevelt ideas on liquor taxes.

OFFICERS WARNED
Of D|LL|NGER GUNS
Desperadoes Ready for Bat
tie to Death, Captured
Intimate Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, December
26.-Police had definite warning to-
day from one who until recently SAT
in the innermost circles Of the elusive
John Dillinger gang of killers that any
attempt to arrest the desperadoes would
be met by a battle to the death.
The Informant was Edward Shouse
captured last week during q gun battl(
at Paris. Ill, In which an Indiana State
policeman was slain, and he told his
story Of the gang to ssrgt. Dan Healy
Of the Chicago police.
They are all kill crazy, and that's
why left them" said Shouse, who was
Of the 10 COnvictS who broke out Of
the Indiana prison last September.
Back In his cell, ShOuSe spent Christ
mas afternoon telling Sergt. Healy some
of the gangs precautions to elude cap
ture.
They have nightly drill, in which
every man takes the position assigned
to him in event of a surprise raid by
police.
They sleep in bulletproof vests.
They will shoot it out to the last
bullet, and they have plenty of guns.
Chicago Safest Place.
They hope to amass slOO, 900 by rob-
berry forays out Of Chicago. after which
they plan to go to South America.
They consider Chicago the safest place
TO live in the meantime.
When he left them last November 10
to go to California, ShOuSe said Dill
linger. Harry Pierpont, Charles Mackley
John Hamilton. Russell Clark and John
Burns were living together in Chicago.
IF you policemen are married men
with families I warn you to be careful
about trying to take the other members
Of the gang" Shouse told Sergt. Healy
While they were talking. reports were
received from Chicago that five squads
of detectives. under the command of
Supervising Capt. John Siege, had sur
rounded North Side tavern there after
receiving another false tip that the
Dillingers were expected to visit the
place.
So far the activities of the gang have
resulted in the killing Of at least three
robberies in Middle West States, the
authorities said.
The first officer to fall was Sheriff
Jesse Sarber of the county jail at Lima
Ohio. He was killed shortly after the
prison break when some Of the convicts
raided the jail and delivered Dillinger
held for bank robbery.
Shouse explained the delivery was an
act of gratitude, as he said that 1t was
Dillinger who had smuggled guns into
the prison here that made the escape
possible.
Move Frequently.
Then on December IA Hamilton shot
down Sergt. William Stanley of Chi
cago when the latter approached him
in a garage to question him. And last
week the Indiana State policeman fell
mortally wounded during Shouse's cap
ture.
In Chicago, Sho,lse said. It was diff
cult to trace the gangsters because they
move frequently, their girl friends
making the necessary arrangements
for rentals.
OF the incident Of November Is when
Dillinger escaped a police trap in q
hail of bullets, Shouse said the man
offered $500 to the one who would kill
the informer. and he said each of the
others offered to contribute $500, too.
