D|LL|NGER PLAN
TO GIVE Up TOLD
Attorney Says Bandit Was
Disuaded by Unknown.
Planned Movie Talk.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September s.-From his
Jail cell, Louis Piquett today asserted
that John Dillinger had declined to
take part in surrender plan which
Piquett had arranged and preferred to
continue his flight from the law that
ended in his death.
The lawyer-under indictment for
harboring Dillinger-said he had dis
cuSsed the surrender and had made
arrangements to nominate John Dill
Inger, sr, for the reward.
I'VE even talked with a newsreel
service about how he might get Dill
linger to say word about how crime
does not pay" Piquette went on.
But the reason that we didn't get
him to give up was that some one
else-I'm not sure who-persuaded
him not to-"
Piquett, whose Loop suite has been
described as the general office" of the
mob by Federal agents, said he be-
lieved he could find the body of John
Hamilton. He listed Hamilton as the
tough guy" of the bandit band and
asserted the clue to his grave was
contained in letter that had passed
through his Office.
Dillinger never entered his quarters,
the attorney asserted. and he denied
that he had arranged with two
surgeons, indicted with him for shield
ing the slain desperate and Homer
Van Meter, to perform lifting
operations upon the hoodlums.
But Piquett admitted meeting Dill
linger while he was hiding from
authorities. And he said, too, that he
had conferred with Evelyn Frechette,
Pat Cherrington and Opal Long, femi-
nine followers of the gang.
From Platteville, Wis., came word
that a group Of Federal agents were
reported hunting the body of Hamilton
in an abandoned mine shaft in south
western Wisconsin. Local officers
there intimated they put some credence
in a story which had come to them
that Hamilton had been Slain by Dill
linger in belief that the lieutenant had
double crossed the gang chief at the
Mercer, Wis, raid. Several months
ago reports were current in the Wis
consin countryside that Dillinger
gang hideout was believed maintained
in that region.

Fiery Goddess Again Smiles on Island

eruption early Thursday from 10000
900 to 100000 cubic yards of lava
had poured into the fire pit was made
by z. G. Wingate, superintendent OF
the Hawaii National Park.
BY night the lake of lava on the
bottom Of the fire pit appears like a
huge sheet of black parchment, on
which are stretched great golden,
glowing spiderwebs. AS angry geysers
bubble and boil, waves of fire undulate
across the 100-acre surface.
Alternately the colors change and
the flames become an angry red in
the dying sun.
AS if entranced by the spectacle Of
doom, koae or bosun birds, huge fowls
known as crater birds, sacrificed
themselves on Pele's altar. Spectators
watching from the rim saw the birds,
with Widespread Of three feet, fly
straight through sulphur fumes into
flames.
Up the roads that wind like a
black snake along the mountains
leading to the fire pit thousands of
residents and tourists rode or walked
to watch the Pele show.
Unlike many volcanoes, which pour
out lava to run down slopes upon any
who dare approach, Kilauea's crater is
amply large to take care of spectators
while they peer inside.

OPPOSES
SOVIET SEATING
League of Nations Faces
Puzzle in Scramble foR
Key Position.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 8.-The atti-
tude of Poland toward Russia de-
veloped into puzzle tonight, causing
a tangle in the Council Of the League
of Nations over the subject of Rus
sia's candidacy for a permanent seat
in that body.
Poland, it is known, would like to
have such place Of power in the
League, a position now held by only
Great Britain. France and Italy. The
candidacy of Russia, backed by
France, and those two nations joint
proposal of Eastern European securi-
ties pact, similar to the Locarno
treaty. have aroused the opposition
Of Poland.
Joseph Beck, Polish foreign min
lister, who represents his country in
a temperament seat in the Council,
told the other members that his gov
ernment and that Of Moscow already
had direct negotiations underway.
(The Semi-official GaZeta Polska OF
Warsaw said the Polish attitude was
that Poland already was making the
proper moves for Eastern European
peace and outside interference was
reSented)
Another bit Of grief to the advo-
| Gates of Russia's candidacy was the
attitude Of Argentina. League off,
cialS said that Argentina, rumored to
be opposed to Russia, would abstain
| from voting on the subject Monday;
the Argentine delegate. however, said
no one would know what Argentinas
position was before then.
While the wheels of the machinery
| for elevating Russia into membership
and a position of eminence were re-
volving, japanese and German OBJ
servers were watching the situation
closely. Some of the delegates said
the present state of affairs might re-
suit in a Impeachment between Ja-
pan and Germany.
The Japanese have indicated they
are concerned over the probable en-
| trance of Russia into the League from
which their own nation withdrew, be-
lieving that Moscow will attempt to
air the RusSo-Japanese grievances in
Geneva. A German spokesman said
his nation regarded the Russian ad-
vent with indifference, adding that
Cermany's interests were European
rather than As!atic.
/ Louis Barthou, foreign minister Of
France, warned the Council that in
timidation of the population of the
Saar Valley in connection with the
forthcoming plebiscite there must
cease.
He declared ''regrettable incidents
occurred in the Saar yesterday and
the day before" and expressed the
hope that such incidents will not be
repeated"

HOPESFOR OTTO'S

VIENNA, September Hopes
Of Austrian monarchists for restora-
ton of the handsome young Archduke
Otto of the Hapsburgs were higher
tonight than they have been since he
fed to Switzerland with his parents
after the revolution.
In addition to a letter the arch
duke wrote to officers of the old en-
pire here, in which he announced his
own hope of soon appearing in Aus
tria, legitimists pointed to today's
edition of the semi official Weltz-
blatt, which reproduced an article in
which Otto was mentioned four times
as "his majesty" and four times as
"the kaiser"
Stimulus in Presence.
While no immediate restoration
was expected because of foreign op-
position, legitimists felt that the
mere presence of Otto in Austria
would give tremendous stimulant
to their cause. They regard the
young archduke as the divinely ap-
pointed ruler of Austria.
"I hope that the date is no longer
distant when I can tell you, man to
man, how much the old officers mean
to me-" Otto said in his letter written
in acceptance of honorary leadership
in the union of old imperial army
and navy officers.
It know how to value the fact that
men who risk their lives in war for
God. the Emperor and the father
land remain true to their ideals after
ward despite hard fate.
Il have recognized the spirit of the
old army in this loyalty which has
outlived trouble, misery, weariness
and disappointment. The army was
the support of the throne and the
basis of the state. This will be so in
all the future, because 1t has taken
over your spirit and your heritage" !"
