tween the Appalachian coal

scene of bloody mine wars.

Some delay enSued and the
Belgian left the institution, in a
nervous state, taking the money
with him.
Two days ago the three re.
turned to the bank.
AS soon as they appeared, de.
tectives hidden in the lobby seized
them.
First Arrests In Europe
Under questioning in their cells,
the Belgian suspect and Kmuler
furnished the name Of the Dutch
man supposed to have handed
them the money in Paris.
French police officials were
informed of the arrests and eff
forts were begun to locate the
Dutchman. Whether the suspects
furnished any logical explanation
of why the Dutchman handed
them the money could not be
learned.
While reports have been re-
ceived from time to time of
Lindbergh ransom notes being
circulated in Europe, these we're
the first arrests made by Eu-
ropean police in this connection.
Police officials and banks have
kept a steady watch on all Amer
lean bank notes passed for con-
version into European currency,
the list of the Lindbergh notes
being posted in all institutions
dealing in currency and foreign
exchange.
Found Dutch Bill Also
In addition to the suspected
Lindbergh currency, police said
they found a Dutch banknote of
large denomination in possession
Of the prisoners.
This bill was alleged to have
been stolen from a Dutch banker
aboard a train en- route from Paris
to Monte Carlo.
Part Of this same loot also
was reported found in possession
Of a suspect recently jailed in
Paris at the request of the
American authorities. He IS held
for possible extradition to num-

GANG Staying
ARREST NEAR

Funeral services were held to-
day for Charles Jones, alleged
liquor ring head shot to death
last Monday night, as police con-
tinued their search for the killers.
The service was read over Jones
in an undertaking chapel in the
400 block H st. N. E. Interment
was in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Homicide squad detectives who
were assigned to the killing are
still waiting word from New York
police in answer to a request sent
yesterday to that city, asking that
a suspect be arrested and held
for local authorities.
Detectives declined to reveal
the name of the man sought in
New York, but declared that they
are hot on his trail.
Meanwhile the search was be-
ing carried on locally for other
members of the gang of four men
who trapped Jones in Shows
Court in the rear Of the Govern
ment Printing Office and shot
him down.
Lieut.. John Fowler, police bal
listicS expert, is working on a As
caliber pistol seized by detectives
in a speakeaSy and believed to be
the gun used by the killer. Jones
was shot through the head with
bullet of that caliber.
Police have learned the identity
of the owner Of the seized gun, it
was said.

INITIATION
NEARING
President Silent, But Friends
Expect Action Before
Middle of Winter
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
international News Service

President Roosevelt is main
tanning a studied silence con-
corning currency initiation, but
his closest intimates believe it
is coming.
They differ as to when and
how, some predicting 80 days,
some go, and some 80, but nearly
all believe it will be found neces-
sary before the winter is well adj
vanced.
Senators Demand Action
The initiation storm has ragged
increasingly around the Presi-
dents ears this week. It has
been mostly of Southern and
Western origin, it's principal pro-
ponentS being Senator Pat Harri-
son CD Of Mississippi and Sena-
tor Elmer Thomas CD Of Okla

It is apparent that Mr.. Roose-
welt is extremely loath to en-
bark upon direct currency infla.
ton. He has discussed it with
only a few Of his close advisers.
The average caller finds the
President willing to discuss al
most everything else but currency
expansion.
Other Remedies Tried
His present policy is plainly to
try everything else first. To that
end, responsible Administration
officials have appealed to the
bankers to loosen up on credit;
the R.FC. has advanced $780,
100000 to the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration to finance
farm mortgages: the Government
embarked upon an ambitious hog
buying campaign: and now the
Agriculture Department has been
given $75,000,0O0 with which to go
into the surplus commodity mar.
ketS and buy relief stores.
In addition, the Government is
considering the plan advanced
by Southern cotton growers for
Federal purchase of about one
half the cotton crop at IS cents
a pound.
Pubic Works Speeded
It has other ambitious schemes
on the laboratory table for ex-
animation, including one of fl
nancing purchases in the field of
heavy industries, such as steel
and railroads.

YACHT
SAVED IN BAY

Tossed by a high wind and heavy
sea, a Washington yacht was dis
abled for eight hours in Chesa-
peake Bay yesterday, while pass
ing vessels paid no attention to its
distress signals.
The yacht, a 65-foot cruiser, the
Clew, is owned by Frank P. Ava
lear, of the 300 block of Haw-
thorne st. N. w.
With party of friends on
board, Avalear put out from
Annapolis on a fishing trip yes
terday morning. They were in
the Western channel when the
drive shaft broke, leaving the
yacht helpless in the rising wind.
Avalear raised a distress signal
but no attention was paid to it.
Several hours later a passing
Norwegian steamer noted tn e
signal and radioed to Baltimore
that the yacht was in distress.
From Baltimore a telephone
call was sent to the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Naval authorities refused to
send a boat to the aid of the
yacht, but instead notified the
Claiborne Annapolis Ferry Com
pany.

FUSCO'S PISTOL
DISAPPEARS

Mystery surrounding the death
Of Salvatore Fusco, found shot to
death in Patterson's Woods yes
terday, deepened today when po'
lice located the dead mans room
in the 600 block Of B st. S. w.
and learned that a .38-canber pis-
toll he owned was missing.
Authorities were unable to de-
termine if the man was a murder
victim or had ended his life. Pow
der burns on his chest and on his
left hand showed that the weapon
had been held close to his body
when the fatal shot was fired, but
no trace of a weapon could be
found, indicating that the man
had been slain.
Acting Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald asked police to search
the woods again today for the
weapon.
Fusco was shot through the
heart, the bullet passing through
his body. No trace of the bullet
was found at the scene of the
shooting.
Relatives of the slain man said
he had no enemies to their knowl-
edge and denied that he was i'm
plicated with any local liquor
ring. Police at first advanced the
theory that he had been slain as
an aftermath of the Jones killing
last Monday.
