Wherever Senator ia m es
Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois is,
there is always a party. With
mellifluous phrases and beguil-
ing stories, he can enchant an
audience of two or two hum
dred. He was telling Mr.. Simo-
poulos about a certain Greek
fruit merchant who applied for
American citizenship. The Judge
who passes on the papers,
asked the young man if he
knew anything about the Amer
ican Constitution.
"No sir!" the Greek ex-
claimed, entirely without humil.

Mrs. James Hamilton Lewis
is a brilliant personality in her
own right. She is a lovely
looking woman. Last night she
was wearing three decorations
awarded by the French govern
ment for her splendid war
work. One of the medals was

of honor "des Eperdime," was
for personal work in the hos
pitals. Her last medal was re-

Another interesting guest at
the Legation was the Assistant
Secretary of State, Francis B.
Sayre, who resembles aStoniSh-
ingly his late father-in-law, the
illustrious woodrow Wilson. Mr..
Sayre is an extremely likable
person. His daughter, Eleanor,
is about to graduate from Wind

year she will go to Byrn Mawr,
coming down to Washington for
the week-ends. Young Francis
Sayre is a student at Williams
College. Little woodrow Wilson
Sayre is also studying his les
sons in New England.
A fascinating dinner partner
for anybody was Mr.. Adolph
Caspar Miller of the Federal Re-
serve Board. But try as we
would we could not persuade
him to explain to us-in words

Miss Mabel Boardman was at
the party, too, looking hand

 would capture Dillinger and pos sibly his gang of five, said to be John Hamilton. Homer Van Meter, George Nelson, Tommy Carroll and Joseph Fox.
 "We have mort facts to work upon than ever before," he said. "We'll get him this time."
 Authorities throughout the mid west traced down new reports of the outlaw having been seen. Dil- fingers face was as familiar to thousands as that of their public officials and this alone was expect ed to make it virtually impossible for a gangster to remain hidden.
 At Elk River,' Minn., a farmer reported he had been held up and robbed of $2 by the Dillinger gang. At the same time the gang was being blamed for the robbery of the Mogadore bank at Akron, O., of $3,000.
 Criticism piled up against Pur- wis and his agents for their fail ure to catch Dilisger in Wisconsin Residents of the Mercer region cir culated a petition asking Plirvis' re- moval until Dillinger has been cap- tured. Michigan state police com plained that they had not been apprised of the gangster's pres ence until it was too late to cap ture him.
 Strong guards were placed around Dillinger associates now in the hands of police. In St. Paul, Evelyn Freschetti, his form CT sweetheart, was held in secret jail lest a rescue attempt be made. Three girls who were captured in the raid near Mercer were held al Madison, Wis.
 Three members of Dillinger's gang. Russell Clark, Harry Pier pont and Charles Makley, were heavily guarded in Ohio peniten. tiary. Their attorneys presented an appeal of a death sentence against Pierpont. Appeals for the other two also will be made.

the basis of new information as to hideouts planned by the gang.
 2. Check of an apparently au- thentic report that Dillinger had a date Tuesday night with a St Paul police character from whom he was to obtain money and aid Tn escaping the police net. Appar- ently police frustrated the meet ing.
 3. Reports that one of three men seen several times here and identified as Dillinger, John Ham, ilton and Tommy Carroll - all fleeing from the huge army of searchers - was wounded. Police believed this indicated Dillinger was wounded and that, needing medical care, he might be hiding within a few miles of St Paul. Po- lice believe the gang of half a dozen outlaws has split up.
 Girls Are Queried
 There were indications that off, ficers considered questioning of the three girl captives-held at Madi- son since the gun battles on Mon- day-had opened important ave. nues of investigation. Despite se- crecy concerning any new leads, II was understood that one of the girls, arraigned yesterday as Mar ian Marr, is the sister-in-law of a well knogn Chicago labor organi- ger.
 One concentration of agents was reported near St. Paul, where the trail of Dillinger and at least two of his followers disappeared after a battle with the agents near Mer- cer, Wis, whehe two men were killed and four wounded.
 Other groups were supposedly in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Michi- gan.. Supporting the federal drive against the gang were some 5000 state, county and local police. Ru- mors enlivened the search with re- ports that the underworld plans to turn up the hottest" man in recent history.

DEATH SECRET IS LIABLE TO STAY
 | HIDDEN FOREVER
Skeleton of Woman Was Found, But Aged Sus-
 pect Won't Talk

Webster, Mass, April 26.-(UP) Unless two men-one an elderly inmate of the town infirmary, the other long missing--divulge ancient secrets which authorities believe they may hold, identity of a skele- ton unearthed on the shore of
 Webster lake may never be known.
 Investigator of the disappear ance some 39 years ago of Mrs
 Jerry Staskowicz, whose skeleton it
 was first believed to be, to-day had
 brought to light an older and re-
 markedly similar mystery, the
 vanishing of a woman named Mill
 Ter about 45 years ago. A few
 days after Mrs Miller disappeared, her 14-year old son was found hanging from a tree in nearby woods. The case was pronounced suicide at the time. Miller told police his wife had "gone away for a time.' He left Webster later and whether he is alive or dead is not
 known. Mrs Staskowicz, a mill worker, was accompanied by her oldest child, a seven-year old boy,
 when she vanished from her Thompson, Conn, farm house in January, 1895. The boy, like his mother, has never been heard from.
 Jerry Staskowicz, 75, husband of the missing woman, is alive, an inmate of the town farm that is To- cated within a mile of the spot where the skeleton was found, but
 he maintains sullen silence about
 his wife's fate. Held prisoner for nine months in 1895 on suspicion of murder, he said first that his wife had run away with another man, and then that she and their
 son had gone to their native Po-
 land. Blood that literally paint ed the rooms of his farmhouse at the time of his arrest was that of
 chickens he slaughtered, he said. Unless they can tap secrets they
 think Staskowicz may hold, or un- less the missing MT Miller is found,
 the identity of the bones dug from the sandy shore of Webster lake probably will remain mystery. All the medical examiner can
 say with reasonable certainty now
 is that the skeleton is that of a woman. dead about 40 years-and that her skull was battered.

 The search, headed by Chief of Police c. A. Wollard, extended far into the desert country. A block ade was established about the city. Peace officers and posses armed with rifles, side arms, shotguns and even bricks and clubs, patrolled all roads. Automobiles were halt ed and searched.
 Dark Man Called June
 June's cousin, Barney Kengla, 6, said car drove alongside and a dark man" called to June. As she stepped to the curb, the man seized her and dragged her, strug- gling, into the car.
 A short time later Rosalio Es- trada, Mexican boy, went to the electrical store of the girl father, Fernando Robles. He exhibited a note, demanding that June's veal thy grandfather, Bernabe Robles, collect $15,000 in ransom money and drive away from his home at g p. m. The note told him to keep on driving until he was stopped. The scrawled message stipulated that the money be in twenty. ten and five-dollarsbills.
 The Estrada boy said man ap- preached him on the street and gave him a quarter to deliver the note to the younger Robles. His story was attested by a service sta ton attendant who said the strang- CT appeared to be an American, deeply bronzed.

S5,O0O Worth of a $20,- 900 Perfume Shipment
 Found By State Police

Ansonia, Conn, April 26 = (UP) = Through the arrest of two men. state police today had recovered about $5,o0O worth of a $2o,o0o shipment of cosmetics and per- fumes stolen April when a Howard Transportation Company, New Haven, truck was fi-jacked by four men at Old Lyme. Hya. cinth Mascola, 23, New Haven, and Alex Pompa, 20, Derby, were arrested here late yesterday charged with receiving stolen goods, and held in $5,000 bond each,
 Approximately $5,000 worth of goods identified as having been a part of the shipment, was recov- cred from the cellar of a main street drug store. The arrests fol- lowed investigation of the disposal of a large quantity of druggists articles by throwing them in dumps at Ansonia and Derby early last week.
 l At that time police believed the hi- -jackers had become frightened over the arrest of two men and a woman for questioning in connec- ton with the theft of an AdIey Company truck, containing a $25,- 900 load, several weeks after the Old Lyme incident.

 Life in Germany Is hard for the sensitive Jew. His children have a
 bad time in the schools, where they hear lessons teaching the su- periority of the great Nordic Ary-
 an race of noble Germans and the
 inferiority Of the Semitic races. The world thought, when Vice
 Chancellor von Papen arranged
 with the Vatican for concordiat
 between Germany and the Holy
 See, that there would be peace be- tween the Nazis and the Holy See, especially as Hitler and von Papen themselves are Catholics. But no. The church is bitterly opposed to the Nazi ideas on sterilization of the so-called unfit. It violently opposes the Nazi racial theories. Conflict was bound to come. Just as many brave Lutheran pastors battled against the Modification of
