daughters in the family, two with
the parents here and one in the
Pennsylvania mining district from
where the family came.
Mrs. Lyddane grew up with the
Rockville suburban area. She
was educated in the schools there
and fo~ long has been a popular
member of the younger set.
Al the bank where Mrs. Lyd-
dane was employed, there was
evidence of SkepticiSm over the
char ges against the young wife.
Richard F. Green, president of
the bank, said:
Mrs. Lyddane has been with
the bank for 10 years. She
was here for seven years before
1 was. have always found
her q loyal and conscientious
worker.
HAS A BANK KEY
".AS for promising anyone a
chance to get $4,000 here
why. it's impossible. Mrs. Lyd-
dane has key to the bank, but
she does not know the cOmbina-
ton Of the vaults. There would
be little to take outside of
banking hours unless the vaults
wese opened"
While Mrs. Lyddane was re-
leased without bond, the Wash
ington man in the alleged con-
spiracy, Jack Boland, AZ, Of the
300 block of Fourth st. N. E.,
who has a long police record,
was held under $4,000 bond. on
a charge of conspiracy to murder.
Bond had not been raised this
morning.
Confessions Signed
No charge has been placed
aganse John "Googy" Carnell,
35, Rockville bartender, also said
to have been implicated in the
plot, and held thus far as a wit
ness for the State.
Ca1Hell and Boland have both
signed confessions of their part
in the murder plot, it was an
nouuced by authorities.
Officials of the Rockville bank
where Mrs. Lyddane is employed
as secretary to the president, de-
cline6 to comment other than to
say no action would be taken until
the case is disposed of in court.
Then the directors of the bank
will meet to determine what course
to pursue with regard to Mrs.
LyGdane'S further employment,
it was said.
The death plot, according to the
confessions, reads like fiction of
the Wildestkind. Lyddane and
Mrs. Arthur Beall, who named
Mrs. Lyddane as correspondent in
a divorce action which was later
dropped, were to have been killed
by the men engaged.
In return for this, Mrs. Lyddane
was to pay the gangsters $4,000
for each death and arrange for
them to secure entrance to the
bank which would yield them $780,
900 more.
Mrs. Lyddane paid a retaining
fee" of $3.50 to the three men in
the plot, according to detectives
working on the case.
Boland is said to have received
5000 Of this, Carnell $50 and a
third man, who is being sought
by police, the balance.
Another motive for the intended
murder, police believed, was a
$4,000 insurance policy on Lyd.
danes life, carried, it was charged,
by his wife.
Police said Mrs. Lyddane had
5000 in her purse when she was
arrested and believe this was part
Of the "payoff" money.
Carnell, police say, was first ap-
preached by Mrs. Lyddane in the
plot, and he made contact with
Boland who is said to have con-
nectionS with Philadelphia
"mob," and he brought in the
third man, believed to have been
intended as the killer.
Police records reveal that Bo,
land has been arrested 10 times
and that CARMEL has an even
dozen arrests charged against his
name.

OF the two nations interested in
the early end of the Italo-E Ethiopian
war-Great Britain and France-the
French nation is the one which is
most anxious to find a solution to
satisfy Mussolini and put an end to
this adventure which may bring
about ruin to the whole world.
The French are probably much
better informed about MusSolinfs
attitude than the British because
they haze to be. They know posi-
tiDely that the Italians are bound
to retalidte to any parlike action
in the Mediterranedn-and a block
ade is a Ddrlike action Uhether
taken in the name of the League
or not. Hence they counsel the
British to 90 easy and not ad-
0once the hands of the clock phich
may mark the doom OF the Old
World.
The French know exactly what
1taly's strength is. They know that
their only naval base in the Medi-
terranean, Toulon, Is only 14O miles
from the Italian air base near Ven.
timiglia. They know that Mussolini
will fight with the back against the
wall and at the first shot from the
British men-of-war he will destroy
Toulon, if that harbor is placed by
the French at the disposal of the
British navy.
And Laval cannot or will not assume
such a responsibility. He believes that
the Italians are willing to come to
,erms if they are given the portions
Of Ethiopia which they have con-
luered so far and if the rest is placed
lnder the control of the italian gov
,rnment. Mussolini has told the
french Ambassador, Count de Cham
,run, that he is willing to leave the
rsana Lake and its adjacent territory
% the British. But the British gov
,rnment is adamant. The League
cannot be flouted, says Eden. The

HOUSING METHODS.
DECLARED WRONG.
Plan to Coordinate Activ-
tiles of Different Agencies
Is Hit.

The Joint National Conference on
Housing, meeting at the Washington
Hotel, was told. in effect. today that
its purpose-to coordinate the activ-
tiles o. housing agencies-was wrong.
Miss Catherine K. Bauer Of the
Labor Housing Council said 1t was un-
desirable to group the activities Of the
various Government housing agencies
or to attempt to effect an alignment
between different schools Of thought
on the problem. There can be no
common cause, she said, between
those who are interested in improving
housing conditions, in meeting the
housing shortage and in developing
new construction methods. and those
of the "old order" who will guard
existing practices at any cost"
Declaring the housing shortage was
becoming increasingly acute, Miss
Bauer estimated there would be l6
per cent increase in the number Of
families in the United States between
1890 and 1910. Marriages planned
during the depression have been de-
ferred, but are now being realized,
she said.
Miles Colean Of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration told the conference
private capital in the housing field,
alone of all the fields Of industrial
enterprise. has consistently refused
to consider its biggest market-that
of the low-priced dwelling"
ut will be only after q consid-
cradle readjustment of its outlook
and its practice that change will
come about" he said. Private capi-
tai. with no more assistance than
that provided by the insured mort
gage, can, If it will, do q far more
extensive job than it has ever done"
Palliatives for the housing problem
Should not be confused with solu-
tions," Colean said. The F. H. A.,
he added, while not complete So
luton, "is in no sense palliative,
but IS q measure of reform which
offers the possibility of providing new,
high-quality housing for larger
group Of the population than private
capital has heretofore been able to
serve"
Alfred K Stern, the meeting chair
man, said subsidy was the only way
to improve housing among low in
come groups.
Alfred Bettman, Cincinnati, presi-
dent Of the American Society of Plan
ming Officials told last nights confer
ence session housing is public
necessity and is entitled to free exer.
else Of the right of eminent domain.
THE question here" he said, "is
not whether a government has the
right to take, with compensation,
property for public use, but whether
housing constitutes that public use."
The conference will close with the
adjournment of this afternoons ses-
sion. at which the service of the Fed
eral Government to home owners and
tenants will be discussed.

Several Forms Affecting Rural

Plans for several forms of assistance
to rural youth will be developed here
next month at a conference arranged
by the Southern Woman's Educational
Alliance Of Richmond. The meeting

Sponsors of the conference feel rural

They want the boys and girls in the

This Changing World
Mussolini's House.C Cleaning in Austria Is Bid for
French Support Against Great Britain.

British interests IN Egypt are too i'm
portant to allow an aggressive nation
like Italy to establish a colonial en-
pire right at the front door of the
British Empire, thinks the British
cabinet and the British nation as a
whole.
Poor Laual is no Tdlleyrdnd. He
finds himself betUeen the deUil and
the deep Sea-between a resolute
and dangerous friend, Mussolini,
and the equally tenacious and
stubborn British bulldog. He has
promised last January to II Duce
that he Diu not oppose his plans
in Eastern Africa and he has also
promised Eden to support Great
Britain in her action to enforce
the decisions OF the League OF No
tionS. He played dangerous
poker game. He is being called
nop By both the British and the
Italians and does not knoD hoU
to get out OF it. France does not
tCdnt ,D1r.
The best solution he can see is
to pass the cards to somebody else
-Herriot or Paul Boncour-dnd
let them play his hand.
X X X
Since France appears so unwilling
to side with Great Britain in taking
drastic measures" against II Duce
the British are turning their eyes or
Germany.
The Reich may not be as helpful
an ally as France, but Germany can
do a good deal to force II Duce te
his knees.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

TINE great final auction for
FRANCES support in the Euro
pean turmoil was opened yes
= terday when Mussolini cleaned
house in Vienna.
Maj. Emil Fey and his pro-Naz
colleagues were ousted from the Aus
trian cabinet. The Italian-subsidized
Prince Ernest Won Starhemberg be-
came overnight the virtual dictator Of
Austria. Thus the possibility of a
NaZi putsch is eliminated.
This is what I am doing for you"
Mussoini is reported to have told
Paris. The danger of an internal
Nazi move in Austria has been con-
siderably reduced. To any direct ac-

Can Great Britain oUerbid Itdly9
That is uhat the French are ask
ing themselves noU. In order to
get Frances unqualified support
for military sanctions the British
government must raise the ante
considerably. Nothing short of a
definite guarantee OF the boun-
daries OF Frances allies in East
ern and Central Europe can sat-
isfy French public opinion And
NTH that guarantee must also 90
a guarantee that the British
armies and air force be ready to
help the French defend the Rhine
and the Alps border.
In the event of a conflict between
Great Britain and Italy in which
France is militantly on the British
side, the French general staff figures
on war on two fronts: The Rhine
and the Alps. The price Laval Is
asking from London might prove too
high-not for the British cabinet, but
for the British public.
The "chasez- croisez" of the qua
drille of death the European powers
are dancing now is in full swing. The
gentlemen are changing ladies rapidly
to the tunes of booming guns in East
Africa and zooming of airplanes.
y X X
In the midst of the dance the
British are preparing to change their
partner-France-for Germany.
The French who, for the sake of
the League of Nations, have indorsed
the economic sanction policy against
Italy, are unwilling to go further.
They see an inevitable European
war in the application of a naval
blockade of the Italian coasts or of
the Suez Canal and are unwilling
to assume such a stupendous respon-
sibility. Laval can see no ultimate
advantage for France in another con-
ffagration; quite the contrary, an
other war might wipe out France as
a world power.

First of all, Germany can. by siding

pressed at Geneva
Furthermore, Germany can be

named as head of the Sonora rebels,
was represented as saying his ambi-
ton was to ''reconquer for Mexico the

ciety-religion, family and property"
Meanwhile, citizens joined officials
in preparing for a continuation of
guerilla warfare or fleeing to safety.
Officials Flee.
All officials of Magdalena, including
the mayor and the entire police force
were reported to have fled toward
Hermosillo when it was learned the

ties in the same region also evacuated
their towns, in three instances only q
short time before raiders rode into the
villages in search of the presidents.

rebels have vented their wrath only
against officials, leaving private citi-

ready today for another reconnais-
sance flight over the interior of So
