POWERS READY
TO TAKE ACTION
10000 Italian Troops on
Frontier, Ready TO
Aid Austria.
BY United Press

MussOIini sent 10000 troops to
the Austrian frontier today as all
Europe, remembering SarajevO and
1914, watched the NaZi unrest in
Austria with dismay and appre-
henSiOn.
Mussolini telegraphed to Vienna
his pledge that Austra's independ-
ence would be preserved.
CzechosIOvakian forces were re-
ported being strengthened on that
cOuntry's Austrian frontier.
The German frontier was
blocked by the Berlin government
TO prevent an influx of German
Nazis into Austria, which might
prove the spark that would set
off the powder keg.
AS Chancellor DOllfuss lay dead
in vienna, Nazis started an up
rising in the important province
of Syria, with heavy fighting in
progress.
Anton Rintelen, Austrian min
lister to Rome, who was accused of
inspiring the Nazi uprising, COM
mitted suicide.
France offered to join Italy and
England in concerted action if
necessary. Britain left the initia-
tive to italy for the present, but
could be counted on for support.
Diplomats of the three powers
began consultations in their re-
spective capitals to decide on a
course Of 3tiOn.

far f. the Austrian frontier,

Kurt Reith, German minister to
Austria, was recalled to Berlin in
disgrace for offering to aid the

BY THOMAS MORGAN
United Press staff Correspondent

ROME, July 26. - Two
army corps were sent toward
the Austrian frontier today
from BOlzano and Udine.
AS they marched Premier Benito
Mussolini telegraphed Vice-Chan-
cellor Ernst Won Starhemberg of
Austria:
The independence of Austria
has been and will be defended by
Italy"
1t was a promise that if neces-
sary the two army corps would con-
tinue across the frontier and save
Austria from a Nazi government.
Bolzano and Udine are within
forty miles of the frontier. The
army corps were estimated at 10000
each.
There was great secrecy as to their
ultimate destination. All the troops
were in. full war equipment. They
included not only ordinary arms of
the service but mountain troops
ready to move through Alpine passes
with great dispatch.
The troops we're two Of three
corps that Premier Benito Mussollni
placed there last February, during
the Socialist revolution, when he
announced that he would preserve
Austrian independence by force Of
arms.
The newspaper Popolo D'Italy at
Milan, which Mussolini owns, pub
lished today an inspired article in
dicating the premier was awaiting
events.
Ideas can not be killed" said
the newspaper. The putsch at
tempted at Vienna was by a small
group of terrorists. We are not con-
fronted by revolution. This was
but a grave act of criminal terror
ism, climaXing long series of
crimes.
The political situation remains
unchanged. Dollfuss died for the
independence of his country. He
is a martyr to a cause which he
defended with the courage of SOL
der and the intelligence of a states
man.
Dollfuss had won the friendship
and sympathy of Italians. His per-
sonality, and his ideas, ended ira
ditional enmity between Austria
and Italy.
Italys central European policy
now seems to depend on the atti-
tude to be taken by the new chan
cellor. But the policy will be based
still on Mussolini's determination
That Austrian independence shall be
preserved, by force of arms if nee

CHICAGO, July 26.-A 67-yesr-
old widower, in whose home federal
agents claimed the features of John
Dillinger were altered by means of
plastic surgery, leaped nineteen
fIors to his death from the depart
ment of justice offices today.
The suspect. James tombstone
Probssco. leaped from a window of
an ante rom in the offices while
waiting to be questioned in connec-
ton with the disgusting of Dill
fingers features.
Samuel P Cowley. assistant to
Melvin H. Purvis, chief of the gov
ernments manhunters in the Chi
cagO area. said that his agents had
obtained information that Probasco
arranged for the surgical work not
only on Dillinger. but on Homer
Van Meter as well.
ProbascO was seated in a chair
near a window while Cowley and
several other agents went into an
other room TO discuss the evidence
against him.
ProbascO'S body landed in Rock

offices are located, from the Rock

COIN CASE TO
co To JURORS
Court Takes Adjournment
After Defense Closes
Testimony.

The case of Melville S. Cohn,
vice-president and director of the
defunct Meyer Kiser bank, charged
with embezzlement, will be given to
a criminal court jury tomorrow.
The defense completed its evil
dence yesterday and court was ad-
journed until tomorrow by Special
Judge Alex G. Cavins.
Both state and defense will be
allowed three hours in which to pre-
sent their final arguments before
Judge Cavins reads his instructions
to the jury. Final argument for the
defense will be presented by Frank
A. Daley and James w. Noel, while
Floyd j. Mattice, chief deputy prose-
cutor, will speak for the state.
On the witness stand in his own
behalf yesterday, Mr.. Cohn en-
deavored to show that his connec-
ton with the banks transactions
with the Frailich Realty Company,
Indiana Harbor, could not constitute
a criminal offense. Cohn was
charged with embezzling $3.50, a
quarterly dividend of the realty
firm. through using bank funds to
pay the dividend.
He said that the bank loaned
money to the Frailich concern to
pay dividends in the ordinary course
OF business. The state presented
evidence to show that the bank paid
a total of approximately $4,000 in
obligations of the realty company
which never were repaid.
Most of the money was paid while
the company was in receivership and
without funds with which to pay
dividends or retire stock, accord
ing TO state evidence.
CroSS-examined by Mr.. Mattice,
Cohn said that he considered the
banks purchase of the preferred
stock issue of the Frailich firm for
s83,25O a good investment for both
the bank and the customers of its
bond department, to whom the stock
was sold.
