HOARDERS DEAF
ITO U.s., THREAT.

Appeals and threats by the
Federal Government against gold
hoarding has had little effect on
the hoarderS.
Federal Reserve figures avail
able today showed that $7O2,-
100000 in gold and gold certifi-
Gates was still outstanding May 3
and that only $39,232,OOO was
returned to the reserve banks in
the week ending on that date.
About $70O,000,00O has been
returned since the end of the
bank holiday. When initiation
legislation became imminent the
return Of gold came to an abrupt
halt with the belief it would be
more valuable in terms of new
currency.
Attorney General Cummings
said the Government could not
prosecute the small gold hoarder,
but he failed to indicate what
line would be drawn between the
large and small holder.
A man with $120 in gold in his
possession will not be prosecuted;
a man with $175,0OO will be dealt
with. That was the most definite
assertion that could be obtained.

CHICAGO
The forty-ninth bomb hurled
by terrorists since January l
blasted the West Side today as
gangsters again sought to sub
due legitimate business houses
and labor unions.
Exploded under a new res
taurant, the bomb, eighth in
three days, shattered windows
and wrecked the front of the
building.
Startled into activity by the
terrorism, Federal authorities
moved to collect evidence against
hoodlums on income tax eva
sions. Many of the men against
whom evidence is being ac-
cumulated have quit the. boot
leg beer racket and are seeking
to gain control of labor unions.

CUMMINGS Sc 7
TOF|GHT GANGS

America is confronted with a
vicious crime wave that was char
acterized by Attorney General
Cummings today as warfare"
Gangsters, racketeers, kidnap-
ers, and other lawless gentry have
created a situation with the dar-
ing flaunt of laws that virtually
has gone beyond the power of the
States and municipalities to con-
troll.
Pointing out that it had been
the conception in the past that
crimes of this character should be
dealt with locally, Cummings de-
clared that many felt the Federal
Government should reinforce its
laws so these challengerS Of law
and order could be attacked by
Federal statute. He said:
Legislation empowering the
Government to attack the
racketeer and gangster is
under consideration"
Onder present law the Gov
ernment may deal with lawless
elements under income tax, pro
hibition, narcotic, auto theft,
kidnapping, and other Federal
statutes.
Frequently, however, the rack
eteer has committed much more
serious offenses than those pen
allied by Government law, al
though he is able to evade
prosecution in State courts
through political influence.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 5
G.N.SO. Blamed for retarding
religious progress, Sunday schools
were "put on the spot" today at
the Religious Education Associa.
ton conference here and threat
ened with abandonment.
A proposal to withdraw Sunday
schools from the religious curri.

fore the association yesterday by
DR.. Adelaide Case, of Columbia
University, who asserted that the
schools were Intellectual and out
of date.
Sunday schools also we're at

agnosticism.
Action on the proposal to abol-
ism Sunday schools was postponed,
however, by the conference.

GERMANS WARN
ARMS PARLEY

GENEVA, May 5 GN.S).-A
subtly-worded warning that she
will enter the 1885 naval confer
ence prepared to demand full
equality in sea ornaments was
handed to the disarmament con-
ference by Germany today.
In a series of amendments to
the British disarmament plan,
the German delegation promised
to observe a shipbui9ding holiday
until 1886 and proposed abolition
of submarines and military air
craft.
The amendments made clear,
however, that Germany would
build up her own submarine arm
and create a military air corps
now forbidden under the Treaty
of Versailles-unless the other ma
tions of Europe scale down their
strength in these branches of
fighting equipment.

Bare Startling Tales

ALLENTOWN, Pa, May 5
|U.N.S3-Attired in a flaming
red costume, Mrs. Cornelia Bryce
Pinchot, 2ennsylvania's first
lady, marched shoulder-to-shoul-
der with child workers today in
picket lines protesting sweatshop
and white slavery conditions in
local shirt mills.
Accorded tremendous ovation
as she stepped from her auto
mobile, the wife of Gov. Clifford
Pinchot declared:
"The people of Pennsylvania
are gradually becoming aroused
over the outrageous conditions
of underpayment and long
hours that have been in force
in factories, sweatShips, mills
and mines in the State.
OWNERS INDICTED
81 have every sympathy with
the drive labor unions are
making to stamp out these
conditions. That's why I'm
joining this picket line!"
Owners of the first mill where
Mrs. Pinchot joined the ranks of
the pickets were indicted recent
II for using force on child strik-
erS.
Mrs. Pinchot's decision to join
The picket lines was made after
attending a hearing at which the
child strikers told of being taken
to New York on gay weekend
parties to entertain out-of-tow
buyers and of losing their jobs
when they repulsed the advances
of bosses and factory operators.
Investigation Voted
Just before the legislature ad-
6ourned at Harrisburg today, the
senate unanimously adopted a
resolution for an investigation of
Bweatshops by a committee ap-
pointed jointly by the general
assembly and Governor Pinchot.
A 14-year-old girl told of being
struck by a factory owner when
she resented vulgar remark.
She said the man was fined Out
her father did not prosecute him
further because he feared authori.
ties might deprive her of her job
because of her age.
At meeting of the governors
commission to investigate sweat
shop conditions held yesterday
afternoon, Edgar Jones, of Ca
tasauqua, investigator for the Le-
high county emergency relief
board, exhibited four pay en-
velopes of a girl listed as an ex-
perienced dressmaker. For a six
day week of nine hours daily she
received in one month four weekly
payments of 81 cents, "a cents,
$1.25 and $1.68.

tween $1.80 and SO every two
weeks.
Charles Butler, considered a
s'veteran" in shirt mill work al
though he is only 20, told of one
employer who dismissed workers
and sold their jobs to the highest
bidders.
Several factory owners who ap-
peared before the commission
blamed cut-throat competition

James Gaudiosi, 20. of Lakewood road. who showed unusual valor. hut poor discretion in expressine his opinions about cops at police headquarters yesterday was given a noile in police court today. It was gently hinted to him that he had better be more diplomatic in the future. Gaudiosi was arraigned on the charge of breach of the peace. He threatened to knock off a certain, policeman's head when he meets him again.
 The young accused walked into police headquarters yesterday for the purpose of making inquiries about his brother. Philip. who was arrested late Tuesday night by Pa- trolman Edward Hayes on the charge of driving a car without u license. Gaudiosi was accompanied by Attorney William K. Lawlor.
 When Gaudiosi learned the off. cer'sr name who made the "pinch" in his brothers case, he, exploded and mixed up q few threats in barrage of profanity as to what he would do to Officer Hayes when they met again. His abuse of a brother cop was too much for Pa. trolmen Charles McWeeney and Thomas Grady. They grabbed hold

 The circumstances were eX- plained to Judge T. V. Meyer this morning and before any general arguments over the affair devei- oped the court suspended sen- tence and later ordered the charge nolled.

Hartford, March 22-Coincident with decreasing sales of gasoline to motor vehicle users, gasoline filling stations are decreasing in number in Connecticut. Although stations are fewer by 31 in number. which would indicate a total decrease of about S4 pumps. actually there are 1S6 more pumps in service this year.
 The explanation is. not complex. says bulletin of the Department of Motor Vehicle. Some of the larger dispensers of gasoline have added extra pumps in their num- erous stations.
 The larger number of pumps cer- tainly does not reflect an increased sale of gasoline, for gasoline use has dropped off in consequence of the fewer cars registered and the general moderation in operation of these registered.
 Gasoline sales, on which tax was paid to the state by motorists in January, 1883. decreased slightly more than 700, 900 gallons from the previous January figure, the first

 Off In Connecticut
Decrease of Over 100000 Gallons For January Re-
 ported Due to Fewer Car Registrations

January decrease ever experienced in Connecticut. Total sales for 1892, too were reduced from the 1881 totals, the first annual de- crease since tax computations brought accurate sales figures into being.
 The 12,004 pumps in operation in 1892 put out an average of 641,- TEA gallons daily, or at the rate of 53 gallons per pump. This year there are 12,190 pumps. The de- crease in stations is shown in to- tals of 4.424 year ago and 4.393 at present.
 In 1892 there was one station for every 79 cars registered now there is one for each 53 cars. The pumps in 1882 were one to each 29 cars; now there is one for each 19 cars registered.
 The change in pumps and sta- tions in the four largest cities of the state, involving decrease of 36 pumps and d like number of stations, is shown as follows:
