a $427,O00 robbery in Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Scrubbed notes on the cover of an old margarine, indicating a 12-
 way split of $62,000 In loot, linked
 Burns with the Brooklyn armored
 car robbery of last August.
 Police Captain John Stege and
 postal authorities said no other
 such a sum.
 "We haven't given up investiga-
 ton of the Brooklyn angle" John
 son said. but whatever is to De done along the line will be handled from Indiana"
 Burns had $e25 when . arrested.
 These bills will be checked against
 the serial numbers of some Of the
 money solen from the armored car. Police of the 40-man "Dillinger squad" organized year ago when
 the outlaw chief was terrorixing the midwest, captured Burns yes
 terday in south side hat. Two
 machine guns, thre rifles and seV-
 eral pistols were within his reach but he made no attempt to use them.
 Pajama clad and holding his hands aloft, the 53-year-old "bad
 man. yielded to the first command to open his door. The woman, be- lieved to be his sister, but not pos itively identified, was found cower- ing in a bedroom.
 Working on information SUD- posedly obtained from one of the minor Dillinger followers previous ly captured. police located Burns hideout several days ago. He had Aived there quietly, in comparative luxury, for at least two months. He was watched day and night in the hope he might lead to other wanted criminals, but had no visitors. He said when captured that he saw his shadowcrs every
 day when he took his dog for a walk, but did not realize they had
 identified him.
 "We'll raid lot more places
 Police Captain John Stege said to- day, land l anticipate one or more important arrests. That's all that
 will be said until we've worked this out"
 Stege said Burns was identified tentatively as one of three men
 who Friday robbed Jacob Kinstler, Brooklyn jewelry salesman. of S10,- 900 worth of jewels and cash. They professed to see a connection, pos- sibly finger man., between the
 armored car robbery and the hold up of Kinstler.
 Burns was one of three still un- apprehended members of the gang of 10 convicts who escaped in Sep tember, 1883. from the Michigan City, penitentiary, freed John Qil- finger from jail at Lima. O., and made subsequent criminal history. Fox, like Burns, was a minor figure among such killers as Dillinger. Hamilton, Pierpont, Charles Mak- ley, Russell Clark and George
 (Baby Face) Nelson.
 Stege intimated, however, that
 Burns may have ben in touch with Hamilton after both deserted the original gang.

BRIDGE BUILDERS
 AIDED BY RIVER
Low Waters and Well- Placed Diking Eliminate
 Divers

Omaha, Neb (UP)-Old man Missouri River has lent hand in building a bridge on dry land, but more help is needed.
 More than a month ahead of schedule on the South Omaha span across the Missouri river to Iowa, engineers have been unstint- ing in their praise of the aid the Big Muddy" has given them In their work.
 Low water, coupled with well placed diking, has enabled the construction men to place footings and foundations without the usual both of using divers to carry on the work below the surface.
 Now it's up to the river to show the stuff it's made of. All 1t has tod is All up It's banks this spring and flood It's way beneath the span where channel has been prepared for 1t.
 Lack of flood period last spring was q boon to tiN builders. Continued lack of interest on the part of Old Man River in chang. ing to a new bod, however, would present q serious problem.
 Several hundred feet Of very dry Nebraska land still separates the span from tho channel.
 Plenty Of dlkes have been placed on the eastern bank, the Iowa side Of tho rivor, to direct tho How un. der the easternmost span, but the plan is q flop without big spring rise. Heavy mountain snowfall and rapid spring melting are nees esHnry t0 make the plan work.

 ''This may lead to my resigna- tion."
 After the motor car incident Jus tice was excused from duty. The commission ordered an investiga- tion.
 Justice, the Earl of Aylesford and Fraulein Kitty Braun, a Nazi girl, were returning by automobile along the main street of Saar- brucken from night club.

.MUCCOLIN PUTS
 THE LEAGUE INTO
 MORE TROUBLE
Quarrel With Abyssinia to Be Settled By Italy in
 Own Way

Rome, Dec 17-(UP)--Premier Benito Mussolini today presented the League of Nations with a new troublesome problem by refusing to submit to. arbitration dispute with Abyssinia over the frontier of Italian Somaliland and insisting that his demand for reparation from Abyssinia must be met at once. The situation seemed sorne- what akain to that which fol- lowed the Italian bombardment of Corfu, Greece, in 1923, in that Mussolini denied authority of the league to act.
 Abyssinia on Saturday called the leagues attention to the frontier situation. It complained that Ital- ians at Ualual. in disputed etrri- tory, attacked Abyssinians and la- ter bombed Ado and Gerlogibi, in what Is claimed as Abyssinian ter ritory. This calling of attention was done under Article xI of the be taken in event of war or threat of war. In his note to the league, Mussolini said that Italy would not arbitrate the incident at Ualual be- cause it was clearly due to an at- tack, sudden and without provoca- tion, by an Abyssinian armed force.
 Italy, he said, had demanded reparations as follows:
 |. An apology by the Abyssinian governor of Harrar province.
 9. A salute to the Italian flag.
 8. Punishment of the culprits and an indemnity for the Italian native soldiers killed or wounded in the attack.
 It was said that the note was in- tended to inform the league of Italy's viewpoint and of the action 1t had taken.
 In the present case Italy con- tends that the attack at Uallial was on an Italian native military bar racks, and it cited the presence of the barracks as evidence that it had been in occupation of the ter- ritory which, 1t said, belongs to Italian S0nnali frihac

West Virginia Is
Enthusiastic Over
River Road Plan
Gray Silver Adds New Support
To Plan For Extension OF
Scenic Highway

Sponsors Of the proposal to build an
extension of River Road from Poto-
mac to Whites Ferry and to connect
the road with the Virginia highway
system by bridge across the river
at that point, received support from
d new and unexpected source this
week.
Northern Virginia and West Vir-
ginia leaders who have been advocat-
ing a new river-level road to rur
westward through Charles Town and
Martinsburg are urging construction
Of George Washington Memorial
road unit as one of its most important
links.
The memorial route would run from
Mount Vernon to Martinsburg, W.
Va, and on westward into country
rich in Colonial history and frequent
ly visited by the first President.
Word of the new support was re-
ceived today by o. M. Kile, an official
Of the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton, an active factor in the River
road improvement movement, from
Gray Silver, former lieutenant COVER
nor of West Virginia,
Silver, who is one of the leaders Of
the Charles Town artinsburg high
way movement, declared the memorial
route would materially reduce the
mileage and at the some time provide
la new scenic route for tourists and
misunderstanding to the Northwest.
The proposed road would follow the
Mount Vernon Boulevard from Mount
Vernon to Washington. Capital streets
would carry the traffic out to River
road, which runs at the present time
to point just west of Potomac.
The River road extension to Whites
Ferry, the proposed bridge and the
proposed Virginia and West Virginia
sections of the highway would carry
the traffic on through Martinsburg
and toward the west.
Silver said that considerable prog
ress has already been made toward
securing construction of the river.
level road through Martinsburg.
It is planned at present to appeal
to Congress for funds with which tc
construct the units needed to form
the memorial route.
