Hitler, Papen
Act to Smooth
Differences
Meet to Discuss Ways
To Crush Growing
Anti-Nazi Hatred

BERLIN, June 20. = Chief Naz
Murderer Hitler met with Vice
Chancellor Franz Won Papen today
to discuss the sharp rift taking
place within the top ruling strata
of the fascist dictatorship made
pubic several days ago through the
so-called critical speech of vor
Papen.
Won Papen's declaration has re-
ceiYed the endorsement of President
Won Hindenburg and partial APP
proyal by Hitler, whose function
now is to attempt to straddIe the
widening gap between two sections
OF the Nazi murderous ruling caste
each of which proposes slightly diff
ferent methods of meeting the grow
ing mass upsurge against fascism
The talk about "reactionarv."
right and left" groups within the
Nazi ruling clique is so much non
sense, as both groups are funda-
mentally agreed on the basic aims
Of the fascist dictatorship. Won
Papen and his hackers propose a
more flexible policy in view of the
present sharpening difficulties con-
fronting the fascists, proposing the
possible grating of monarchy onto
the fascist dictatorship. Further
more, the Won Papen gang want tt
draw in the support of the petty
bourgeois, religious and Jewish
bourgeois elements by offering them
a certain worthless and formal
means of criticism"
The Nazi group against which Won
Papen'S main fire is directed is led
by the fascist Minister of Propa-
ganda, Goebbels; Rosenberg, Hitler's
foreign specialist; Ernst Roehm.
Commander chief of the Storm
Troops; Walter Care, Minister of
Agriculture, and Julius Streicher
Nuremberg district leader of the
NaziS leading figure in the anti
semitic proSrom propaganda. These
elements favor ways of meeting the
growing economic catastrophe by a
greater campaign of fascist dema-
gogy. The latter group is closer to
the rank and file of the Storm
Troopers, who are beginning to feel

No Word from IL Hunger

NEW YORK.-No word has been
received yet from the Hillsboro, Ill,
prison, where eleven workers and
farmers, held on a charge of Con

went on a hunger strike three days

They went on hunger strike as a
protest against the miserable condi-
lions in the county Jail and as a
demand for lowered bail.
Those held are: Carl Gerulla

in some victories by the farmers
and workers. In Nokomis, nearby
town, workers forced the Council tc
reconvene a session and rescind a
resolution calling for practically
martial law. Demonstrations have
also forced the release of several
workers arrested previously.
Rather than grant relief, authori-
ties have preferred to let loose a
reign of terror against workers and
farmers. The arrested workers were
imprisoned on May 81, after they
had been rounded up" by police. A
delegation of professionals from the
st. Louis National Committee for

who investigated the case have
characterized it as "one of the worst

Smashing open the combination of a safe six feet high at the off, flee of the Industrial Loan com pany, 449 Meadow street, burglars last night footed the place of more than $500 in cash and jewelry valued at several hundreds of dol lars. Also included in the loot, ac- cording to W. S. Alta of the finance company, were stocks and bonds of an undetermined value. First knowledge of the burglary was gained when employees entering the office for work this morning found the contents of the combination safe and filing cabinet strewn about the floor.
 Working, apparently, without any hurry, the burglars left behind them not a single fingerprint, though the place was combed thoroughly by Detectives John Leary and William Foley. who are continuing police investigation begun early this morning by Cap tain William P. Keegan, chief in spector oG the detective bureau. The detectives found that the thieves had left behind them a large sledge hammer. used to crack the combination. A wise was also found at the loan company office, but it was later tentatively identi- field by Edward Shepard, of the adjoining Central Photo Service, as having been picked up from his of- flee by the safe crackers.

 The robbers apparently got into the building from the rear, climb ing on to the low roof of an ad- joining building, from which they entered the Central Photo Service place, on the second floor with the Alta Company, by forcing open a window. From here they made their way into a hallway. getting into the loan office by jimmying front door.

 Maj. Gen. Hugh A. Drum didn't say anything. Neither did Maj. Gen. Edward Croft. They stepped on the gas and banged down the Memor- ial highway as fast as they could go. Then they came back again. The officer was waiting for them. Think you're going to a fire, hey!" he said, 'I'll just give you two a ticket" Maj. Gen. Drum withdrew his head from the post-side door and banged the armor shut.

SHERIFF GEDDES STAYS IN OFFICE
 UNTIL NEXT JUNE
Does Not Retire the First of Year as Do All
 Other Officials

High Sheriff Elect J. Edward Slavin of Milford does not assume office in January as is generally believed. The present term of High Sheriff James w. Geddes of this city and New Haven does not expire until June 1st,4 1885. This means that the eight local deputies serving under the present republi- can regime do not relinquish their posts until the middle of next year. J,o
 Because of the fact. that officials elected to state and congressional posts assume office in January, it was generally believed that the same rule applied to the office of high sheriff of New Haven coun- ty. Several political leaders, when queried to-day, expressed the opinion that the term of High Sheriff Geddes expired in January, the month after next.
 However, the law provides that the terms shall run for four years ard shall begin and end in the month of June, the first day of the to be exact. 4
 Many local democrats are now seeking posts under the new sheriff-elect. Besides the eight deputies to be named here there are also understood to be candi- dates for posts at the county jail in New Haven. It is generally believed that Jailer William Hayes of Ansonia, who has held the post under High Sheriff Geddes, will be succeeded next June by David (Big Dave) Fitzgerald of New Haven. to rumors Constable James E. O'Leary of this city, who sought the nomination of high sheriff at the democratic shrievai- ty convention, will be named deputy for Waterbury.
