What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Johnson and Business
Agree to Truce
on Hours.
BY PAUL MALLON.

THE inside yarn on the code au-
thorities conference Is that 1t
produced the greatest scien-
i tiflc discovery of the age.
Gen. johnson found out for
sure what happens when the irresis-
tible force meets the immovable OBJ
ject.
The answer Is Nothing. Both sides
back off and try to get around each
other.
Johnson was the irresistible force,
demanding a 10 per cent reduction in
hours. The business leaders proved
themselves to be immovable. They
fatty let the general understand that
If President Roosevelt tried to impose
such an order on them it would mean
something akin to industrial civil war.
Final Result in Doubt.
Insiders are now betting even money
that no important consequences will
be forthcoming for a long time.

News of Arrival From In

to Increase Vigil.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated freSS.
CHICAGO, March IA delayed
report that John Dillinger, fugitive
desperate. arrived here by train last
night from Indianapolis caused police
to strengthen their vigil today.
Detective squads hurried to the rail-
road station, but the depot was cleared
of passengers when they arrived. The
call from Indianapolis police was not
received until after the trains arrival.
Dillinger was reported seen in In
dianapolis earlier in the day. Capt.
Matt Leach of the Indiana State po-
lice said that letter was mailed to
him at Lima, Ohio, yesterday from
Indianapolis threatening him with
death for his part in the conviction
of Harry Pierpont, one Of the Dill
linger gang, who was sentenced to
death.
Sinister Hand Seen.
The sinister hand of Dillinger was
seen today in a $4,000 robbery of
the First National Bank of Mason
City, Iowa.
The loot of the raid. staged yester-
day by seven machine gun bandits,
marked new high in recent series
Of assaults on Midwest banks. Wit
nesses said they believed the leader
was Dillinger.
Tactics employed by the gunmen
were similar to those used by the
bandits who stole between $4,000
and $4,000 March 6 from a bank at
Sioux Falls. They were also like the
methods OF robbers who made away
with s2l 900 at Atchison, Kans., last
Monday.
In each instance they took hostages
with them as shields
Arriving at the Mason City Bank,
the bandits scattered a rain of ma
chine gun bullets, injured two per-
sons, scooped up the cash and escaped
under the protection of dozen host
ages.
Police Withheld Fire.
Vigilantes and police withheld their
flre as the robbers car, its running
board lined with bystanders and bank
employees, roared out Of town. The
hostages were released unharmed a
short time later.
James Buchanan, city policeman,
was the first to connect Dillinger with
the raid when he said, after viewing
photos:
I'D stand on a statement that the
leader of the bank bandits had the
appearance Of Dillinger."
Sheriff Jack Robertson later de-
clared, I'm convinced now that the
leader was Dillinger."
The wounded are r. L. H. James
secretary Of the Mason City School
Board, shot in the leg by a stray
bullet. and Clarence MCGOWAN, who

Gen. Johnson's selection of George

Industries Committee was significant.
Houston has been foremost in con-
tending that what is wrong with the

Stud Poker Diplomacy.
World diplomats are beginning to
catch on to the stud poker method OF
diplomacy.
That is the explanation offered by
our international experts for some of
these big naval moves by Britain,
France and Japan. The idea is that
these nations intend to use their
budgets as poker chips for the next
naval disarmament conference.
Take Britain, for instance. She
has announced she will lay down four
new cruisers and about 20 smaller
naval craft. The truth is this con-
struction is to begin next year after
the disarmament conference meets.
Jdpdn's ndpdl minister announced
he is preparing to enter ndDdl
race beginning in 1886. HE did
not say what he Would use for
money!
France Is making a big ado about
laying down a 26,000-ton cruiser some
time in the next few years.
These ships indicate the naval crisis
is more on paper than in the water.
Norman Davis, travelling salesman
on disarmament, has frequently said
you can never get anywhere with dis
armament until there Is q crisis.
Nations Aid Manchukuo.
Far more important are the hidden
moves by France and Germany to
work in with the japanese in Man
chukuo.
The French and Germans have been
with us in refusing t. recognize the
puppet japanese state in North China.
But they are back-sliding. The French
National Association for Economic
Expansion has already made an
agreement with the South Manchurian
Railway for an agency to facilitate
trade with French firms. The Ger
mans have sent their Toxic COM
mercial secretary up to Mukden to
look into trade possibilities.
International principles are all right
in their place, but they are never
allowed to interfere with trade.
