ROOSEVELT AND GERARD
DISCUSS PARTY FUNDS

BY the Associated Press.
Democratic party finances engaged
the attention of President Roosevelt
today in a brief chat with James w.
Gerard of New York, the National
Committees chairman of finances.
Gerard told news men after the
conference the party had current
debt of $463,0oo, compared with
$4,000 last Spring, when he and
Walter j. Cummings of Chicago, the
party's treasurer, took over super
vision of finances from Frank Walker.
Gerard said he was not worried
about funds for the remainder of the
congressional campaigns and added
there was a good chance of cleaning
up" the debt in the early future.

OF MASS MURDER
Political -Gangster LiaiSon
Found in Kansas City
massacre"
Continued From First Page.)

Jury meets in Kansas City october 21
Ramifications of the conspiracy
which resulted in the machine-gun
murder of Federal Agent Raymond
Caffrey, three police officers and their
prisoner. Frank Nash, are said to eX-
tend high into former official and
political circles of the Missouri city.
Indictments May Be Asked.
Indictments of one or more persons
active in the Kansas City political or
ganization may be sought by the Gov
eminent, it is said.
The name of Lazia, who was riddled
with bullets by unknown assassins sew
eral weeks ago, had been linked by
Government witnesses with arrange
ments for the overnight roundup of
killers to free the gangland leader
Nash, who had been captured by Fed
eral agents in Hot Springs, Ark.
Lazia and Miller are said to have
been friends. 1t was Miller, Govern
ment officials assert, who suggested
that Charles Pretty Boy" Floyd and
the latter's partner in crime, Adam
Richetti, be engaged to assist the for
mer sheriff in delivering Nash.
Miller, it is charged, was notified of
Nash's arrest by GalataS, who flew
with Mrs. Nash from Hot Springs to
the home of Herbert and Esther
Farmer at Joplin, Mo-, Immediately
after the gangster'S capture in Ar
kansas. Miller was given complete de-
tails of the railroad route being fol-
lowed by the officers and their prisoner,
en- route to LeavenWorth Penitentiary.
Floyd and Richetti, apparently by
sheer coincidence, arrived in Kansas
City within a few hours of the arrest
of Nash. At Bolivar, Mo, the pair Of
outlaws had been halted on "suspi-
cion' by Sheriff Jack Killingsworth.
Floyd and Richetti kidnapped the sl1er-
if and a citizen, Walter Griffith, and
forced the latter to drive the quartet
to Kansas City, where they arrived
about 10 pm the night OF Nash's
arrest.
Floyd and Richetti. Justice inveSti-
gators declare, abandoned Griffith and
the sheriff IN the industrial section
of Kansas City, transferred two ma
chine guns to sedan that was walt
ing for them and held a rendezvous
with Miller.
One witness has informed Govern
ment agents that Lazia was present at
this meeting, during which plans were
laid for the freeing of Nash upon
his arrival the next day at the sta
ton.
1t has been learned that Floyd was
injured in the shooting at the sta
ton. Floyd and Richetti are the only
living participants in the actual shoot
ing Both are said to be marked for
killing by Kansas City gangsters. who
fear that if they are captured by the
Government, they will tell too much"

MRS. GRACE BAGNATO and

world with a new high mark for
greed and a new low for intelligence,
in the maternity sweepstakes, each
being determined to exceed the 9TH

a decade.

the most infants to her credit gets
a grand prize Of S500,000 offered by
a myopic-minded millionaire, now
dead. The other contestant, we
suppose, will devote the rest Of her
life irving to feed her progeny, or
will ask her less prolific neighbors to
do it for hre.
Somewhere in the race, unheard
in the pounding Of the stork's wings
and the hurrahs of the multitudes,
are the 90 living children Of the
two women. several of whom rep
resent only another squirt of energy
during the last few laps Of the mad
dash. Evidently neither the moth
ers nor the grandstands are think
ing about them. although they are
items to be considered, it would
seem to me.
Presumably the gentle m a IA
sportsman he was-in supplying the
incentive for the derby did not
dream what it would turn out to
be tone hesitates to charge him
with malicious intent, or if he did
then he must have had more money
than sense. At any rate, the event
should make us aware that rich

Erroneous reports seem to have
been given out by some Imperial
Valley residents vacationing in the
northwest to the effect that men
will be needed here this winter
to act as special guards. The Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce has
received 10 letters from various
parts of Oregon and Washington
all stating that the writer has been
told by an Imperial Valley resident
that special guards are employed
each winter in and around El
Centro during the harvesting for
the protection of property and
workers"
Each individual writer has listed
his qualification for such a pos
ition, and the composition of the
letters would indicate the writer's
to be men of intelligence and ed
ucation, which convinces the cham

ton is given out very convincingly
All state that their informant told
them the chamber of commerce in
Ell Centro could and would give
the necessary information for get
ting a position as special guard.
The chamber staff has answered
each letter stating that the writer
is misinformed and that special
guards are not used in the fields,
also that men who are needed for
any use whatever in Imperial VAL
ley will be chosen from the local
unemployed list, which contains
several thousand names. Despite
these answers this rumor is apt to
result in an influx of men from the
