SAY GANGSTER
BETRAYED HIS
OWN FAMILY

CHICAGO, Jan. 18. WP)-Arthur
(Doc) Barker, the big and tough
leader of the southwest IS most no
torious gang. was accused today
without denial by his captors of
betraying his mother and brother
to death in an effort to win clem-
ency for himself.
The outlaw chieftain had no op-
portunity to comment on the report
himself. Despite official announce
ment in Washington that he has
been held here by federal agents
since January 8, the Chicago agents
refused to admit they have him.
Presumably he is held incommuni-
cado in one of the secret cells of
department of justice headquarters
In the "Loop" Bankers building.
Belief that Barker was respor-
sible indirectly for the deaths of his
mother and brother arose from the
fact that his arrest preceded the
Staying Of the two in Oklawaha,
Fla, by just eight days.
His 60-year-old mother, Kate
(Ma Barker, and his brother, Fred,
died in six-hour gun battle We'd
nesday in which Chicago federal
agents took part.
Asked whether information given
by Arthur Barker led to discovery
and entrapment of his mother and
brother, D. M. Ladd, agent tempor-
arily in charge of the Chicago bu-
reau of investigation, said:
81 can't comment on that. I
have no instructions to release my
information on the NATTER
Cite Other Cases
Prisoners in the Bankers build
ing cells have been known before
to betray friends and associates in
to the hands of their inquisitors.
John Chase, the California boot
logger who teamed up with George
(Baby Face Nelson of the John
Dillinger gang, will never be con-
vinced that Nelson IS youthful wild
ow didn't "turn him up" for the
federal agents who held her for
days in an Imprisonment similar to
that of Barker. -.
Chase vas captured in California
on charges that he was with Mel
son and his wife when two federal
agents were shot to death near
harrington. ILL.,, in November. He
awaits trial.
George F. Sullivan, U. S. district
attorney, of st. Paul said today he
will ask that Barker be tried in
April for the kidnapping of Edward
G.. Bremen, st. Paul financier who
paid 100000 for his freedom after
being seized by gangsters in the
Minnesota city last January.

POLICE. TAKE IS. :. :.
GANG CHIEFS

NEW YORK, Jan. Is. W.R)-Four
men and a woman of the desperate
Tri-state bandit gang, including Ro-
bert Mais, fell into traps set by po-
lice and federal agents in the last
48 hours without a blow being
struck or a shot being fired.
Government agents announced
that New York and Philadelphia
police had cooperated in the cap

death blow to a gang charged with
many murders, robberies and the
kidnaping-and probably murder
of William (Big Bid Weiss, Phila-
delphia sporting character.
Mais, Jail breaker under death
sentence in Virginia, and known as
a desperate man, was caught asleep
in his bed-a .38 calibre pistol by his
side.

San Diego To Seek
Road Improvement

Relocation Of Mountain Springs
grade and improvement of the Cam
po road, will be sought by the San
Diego Chamber of Commerce, &C
cording to information received here
today and the state highway COM
mission will be petitioned for funds
to accomplish the work.
The San Diego chamber feels that
because of the existence of the
grade there is discrimination on the
part of truckers and shippers be-
tween coast points and Imperial
Valley, which would not exist if the
grade were made less difficult.
II is hoped to have the grade re-
aligned and the Campo road paved.
The latter would give the valley two
first class routes to San Diego.

BONUS ARMY MAY
 START ITS TREK TO WASHINGTON
Royal w. Robertson, 1882, Chief, Expects to Have
 1000 in Line

Los Angeles, May 25-(UP)- Mobilization of a new .bonus army" was being completed today in preparation for a transcontin- ental trek to Washington tomorrow night. Royal w. Robertson, a leader of the 1899 bonus march and organizer of the latest effort to force immediate payment of the menus, hoped to enroll 2,0O0 |ex-soldiers before the caravan starts eastward. '.Sothing can stop us, he said. s.Nye'ra going to Washington and we're not coming back until we get what we want. " Robertson reported he had 600 re- cruits signed up at the close of the first days enlistments and that hundreds more were ready to add their names. He predicted 5000 veterans would join the army from all parts of California and would be ready to leave from. Sac ramento when all units gather there. The trip, he said, will be made aboard freight trains.
 To Be Identified
 Robertson instructed each marcher to wear an overseas cap for Identification. but to carry no equipment. He also cautioned against begging either for food or money. He plans to finance the expedition by exhibiting motion pictures of the 19S2 bonus army in cities enroute to the capital. Robertson overcame a threatened split in the ranks of the army" which developed when he was ad- dressing 8 mass meeting of veter- ans. A veteran, identified as Rob- ert F. Jones, a former marine, stepped from the crowd of 200 and called upon the listeners "who are in favor of a fight at the ballot boxes'' to follow me-. He marched to a vacant lot and 25 men fol- lowed behind him.
 Robertson was undeterred by the statement of Frank Belgrano, Jr., national commander of the Amer ican Legion, that the proposed vet erans' march was ''un-American". Belgrano, at Winnemucca, Nev., said he was "unalterably opposed to the march," He urged commit mites through which the bonus army might pass not to aid the marchers.

LEAGUE HALTED
 IMPENDING WAR
Italy and Abyssinia Will Settle Their Differences
 Very Amicably

Geneva, May 25 - (U.P.) - League of Nations leaders believed to-day that they had succeeded in halting an .imminent war between Italy and Abyssinia. The suave per- suasiveness of Pierre Laval, French Foreign Minister. and the stubborn insistence of Anthony Eden, Chief British delegate, won a comprom- ise from Italy which gave time for a definite settlement of the Italian Abyssinian dispute. Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy, in contact with Geneva by telephone, stoutly re- fused to compromise all day yes- terday. But late last night he ap- proved two league council resolu- tions. At 1:40 a. m. to-day, the council adjourned victorious.
 The resolutions provide that Italian and Abyssinian negotiators shall try to agre on liquidotion of the dispute resulting from an al- feged attack by, Abyssinian tribes men on Italian natives at Ualual, in disputed territory between Ital- ian Somaliland and Abyssinia in East Africa, as we'll as other minor incidents. Italy withdraws its ob- jection to Abyssinia choosing for eign negotiators to represent it. As a result one Abyssinian plenipoten- tiary will be Professor Putnam B.. Potter of Long Branch, N. J.. 43- year-old expert on international law. August 18th is fixed as the date by which there should be full agreement. In the meantime the secretary general of the league. Jo- seph A. Avenol. is to keep coun- cil members fully informed of pro- gross or lack of it.

225 AIRPLANES
 WILL BE FLOWN
 OVER HONOLULU
Spectacular Aerial Review Has Been Ordered By
 Commander Reeves

Aboard the U. s. s. Pennsyl- vania, with the United States Fleet, Nav .25. = (UP).-The United States navy will send 225 airplanes over Honolulu today in a spec tacular aerial review.
 Admiral Joseph M. Reeves gave the orders for the review as his flagship, the U. S. S. Pennsyl- vania, let. the battle fleet toward Honolulu harbor for the final phase of the 1885 naval maneuvers.
 The planes will be plummeted into the air from the decks of the aircraft carriers Rainier, Lexing- ton and Saratoga at approximate ly 12 o'clock noon, island time 4:30 p. m. CST.
 Will Circle One Hour
 Heralds of the approach of Un0le Sam's mighty fighting fleet to the most valuable of the na- tion's Pacific possessions, the planes will be launched from a point eight miles from the island of Oahu and for one hour they will encircle the city of Honolulu in a dazzling display of aerial armament.
 Admiral Reeves emphasized that the demonstration was merely a re- view, not g. mock" attack on the Hawaiian territorial capital. Plans for the attack were dropped be- cause of the fatiguing nature of the maneuvers which preceded the fleets return from the Midway Islands.
 Long before the demonstration, however, the Pennsylvania will have sum-. her anchors in the har- bor.
 The flagship, carrying the blue f,.C of the commander-in-chief of the battle fleet, will enter Hono- lulu at 8 a. m. (12:30 p. m. EST) !. She will be followed by several units of destroyers. Later the cruiser flotilla will steam into the port.
