 Most Serious In Years
 The derailment caused one of the most serious tie-ups the road had experienced in several years About three years ago there was a similar wreck in cut at New Ha ven In which a passenger was killed. Railroad communication lines were temporarily disconnected by today's wreck. Many commut- CTS took to busses to get to New York.

 Investigators promised even more sensa tional disclosures involv- ing "higher-ups" in the gang ring, and said that a list of unsolved crimes in the east during the past years undoubtedly is connected with the activities of the Rhode ls- land gang.

 Sub-cellars and walls which gave up $8,000 of the registered mail money Saturday were to be ripped apart, bit by bit, while the walls of vault found in a garage at the rear of the mansion also were to be pulled apart on the theory that more of the loot is cached there.
 Besides the investigators, only newspapermen and ERA workers excavating the grounds and sub cellars were permitted on the grounds as police guarded every foot of soil turned over by work CTS spades.
 Charred Bones Found
 Shortly after Carl Rettich, al legged "brains" of the gang, had surrendered at Providence, search- CTS digging in subterranean parts of mansion like "crime factory" here found charred bones and $10,096.S5 more of the Fall River loot.
 Rettich, lessee of the picturesque Wendelschaefer mansion which was turned into an elaborate gang ster hideout with an arsenal and secret sub b-cellars, was held in de- fault of $100,000 bail.
 Bandits arrested in spectacu- lar raid on the mansion were re- vealed as having New York and New Jersey connections with an nouncement of the arrests in New York of Thomas Dugan, gangster of many aliases, and Charles Harrigan.
 Dutch Schultz Gang
 Dugan, investigators said, was q known member of the butch Schultz gang" while Harrig1n was d suspect in the American eN- press truck robbery at Perth Am- boy, N. J.. last Novemwber 4. Both are charged with being implicated in the Fall River robbery.
 Also arrested in New York. at request of postofficc inspectors, was Peter J. DeFlorio, charged with complicity in the Perth Amboy and Fall River robberies and the murder of Andino (Andy Meroia, Providence gangster, found slain on a Massachusetts roadside last Fri- day.
 Dugan, Harrigan and DeFlono were held incomfnunicado by New York police.
 "Thc Duke" Arrested
 An attempt to escape from postal inspectors when he was released from Providence county jail las' night for questioning in connec' ton with the Fall River robbery and $5O,000 robbery in Butler, Ph' led to arrest of Robert Ernest Demorest, alias "The Duke" on a conspiracy charge in the Butter mail robbery and on charge oi assaulting postal inspectors.
 Demorest, alleged steerer in the $4OO,O0O armored car holdup m Brooklyn, N. r., last fall, was be- lleved by authorities to have been sheltered by the Rettich gang after fleeing from Brooklyn.
 Discovery of charred bones be- meath q flagstone walk on the man. sion and of bloodstains in q sub cellar appeared to confirm the be- lief that the corpse of at least one murder victim was buried in the hideout.
 May Be Danny Walsh
 The bones and bloodstains were to be examined today in line with the belief that Daniel (DannY) Walsh, long missing Rhode Island racketeer, may have been slain and buried on the estate.

the first place. Germany has spent so much on the rapid construction of a fe.t of 2.0OO alrplanes, she simp, has not enough money to parallel that achievement on the water. It Is also argued here that Hitler has never had imperialistic naval ambitions, concentrating rather on strong land and air forces.
 France, Russia Pact
 Paris. April 3O-(UPD-Foreign Minister Pierre Laval presented to the cabinet today the final draft of mutual defense with Russia the first of a series planned as the result of Germany's rearming.
 It was expected that the draft would be initialled tomorrow by Laval and Vladimir Potemkine. Russian ambassador, and signed when Laval visits Moscow next month.
 As finally drafted. the French Russian treaty provides tha: France and Russia will refer a dis pute. or an attack by an outside nation, to the League of Nations. But If the league council fails to decide unanimously upon a means t- settling the difficulty with an aggressor, France and Russia will take the settlement into their own hands with their military forces.
 It IS sufficiently elastic to per- init adhesion of other powers, and thus is not a closed treaty and Is Co nI u, s,t any nation.
 What Italy Says
 Rome, April -UP)-The Giornale DItalia claimed today to have authorative information that Germany will have 10000 tons of warships within three years. (The Italian navy is 378,85S Germany has proclaimed her right to a navy one-third as big as Britain's, or more than 300,000 tonsD
 The newspaper said 95,400 tons of the total will be ready by the middle of next year. Submarines, 1t continued, will vary from 250 to 500 tons each. The number of submarines is not known but is believed to be considerable.
 Make-Up of Fleet
 Giornale d'Italia said the new German fleet by the middle of 1888 would be made up as follows:
 Two capital ships of a new 20.- 0O0-top type. equipped with nine guns of 280 millimeters C1 inches) each; three capital ships (battle- ships) of the 10,000-ton Deutsch- land type, with six guns of 203 millimeters (8 inches); two cruis- CTS of 5000 to 10000 tons with an undisclosed number of eight-inch guns; six cruisers of 6,000 tons with guns of 152 millimeters (six inches); 16 destroyers of 1,400 tons: 12 destroyers of 800 tons; ter auxiliary ships of 800 tons.
 The newspaper affirmed that Ad- miral Erich Raeder. head of the admiralty, had decided that con- struction of the two 20,000-ton capital ships should be started forthwith and completed with the utmost speed.
 Under Raeder's plan, the news paper added, the two ships should be commissioned by the summer of 1893. It also said the 12 250-ton submarines announced last Satur. day will be equipped with Diesel engines, constructed in secret.

 ened spread of New Deal policies. Other speakers attacked other tan- gents of the recovery drive.
 Despite his qualm over suct' measures as the new banking bill, Hartman was optimistic.
 He welcomed widespread criti. cism of the administration, he sa;d, as an indication that the depths have been reached--and scaled.
 Decrease of Joblcss
 On the credit side of his New Deal ledger, he listed a decrease in unemployment from 12,000.O0 U between 7,000,000 and S,000,OO; a $400, 100000 increase in dividends to investors in 1884 over year be-. fore; the sound position of tie banks; excellent agricultural pros- poets; slight danger of this coun- try being involved in war, and a great, untitled demand for goods and services.
 But there are also very sub- stantial entries on the debit side, he continued. Business Is justly apprehensive of the increasing in- terference of government in the af- fairs of business, as exempllfied in ome features of the NRA, the AAU and the IVA; of the growth of ouI debts and taxes; of the ever-grow . ing number of those on relief; oi unsound labor laws, such as the bill for a 3-hour week, and the labor disputes bill; of the increased burdens that will suddenly ot placed upon business by measure, for the creation of social reserves desirable in their idealism bll unsound in some of their practica applications; of destructive ra.li CT than regulatory utility holdn.t company bils and of fantastic scheme for the sharing of weal.l through taxation"
