A N Indianapolis boy who has
= made good ir a very important
profession is the Rev. William
Havey. He is a young priest whom
his friends may call Bill when he is
not on duty. A member Of a mission
band, he is on duty here and there
and one must catch him, as it were,
on the wing. He came to town the
other day to visit his mother and to
pick up an old muzzle- Loading gun
which he wished to present TO a
friend.
This gun was brought to Indiana
from Mississippi by Father Havey's
grandfather and is said to be more
than hundred years old. 1t has a
long barrel. When loaded in the old
style with powder, wads and bullets,
it was capable of knocking young
duck hunters clear out of the boat.
Modern arms makers have pretty
well removed the kick from shot
guns but there was a time when the
hunter as well as the game could
expect to be wounded.

Accused Of Hostility
Resolution Condemning Attitude in Ialian-EthiOpian
Situation Adopted By World War Veterans

Ethiopian situation. The resolution
was unanimously approved by the
italian veterans who stated that
they deplored and condemned such
uncalled for and ''un-American
criticism of the actions of friend
~ government by a newspaper
which. is published in a city Of
which more than quarter of the
population is of Italian extraction .
Information on tahe action of
the Italian eVterans yesterday
morning was contained in q letter
received today by the editor of the
Democrat. 1t is as follows:
July 2s, 1885.
: To The Editor of
The Waterbury Democrat,
City.
Dear Sir:-
The Waterbury Chapter of
the Italian World War Veter.
ans in the U. S. A., Inc, at
a meeting held at Liberty Hall
on Bank ST., this morning at
10 o'clock, unanimously voted
the following resolution, which
I ask you to kindly publish
in your paper:
Whereas, the Waterbury Re-
publican American has con.
tinously taken an unfair and
deliberate hostile attitude in
all questions concerning Italy
and questions concerning Italy
and the Italian Government.
Wherets, the hostility of this
paper towards Italy and the
Italian government is more
pronounced, and most unfair
on the Italo- Ethiopian conflict,
and that the editorials of this
paper on this subject, obvious
ly express the sentiments of
biased editor,
Be it therefore Resolved:
that the Waterbury Chapter of
the Italian World War Veter-
ans in the u. S. A. Inc, de-
plore and condemn such un-
called and unAmerican criti-
stem of the actions of q friend
ly government, by a newspaper
which is published in q city,
of which more than q quarter.
of the population is of Italian
extraction.
Very truly yours,

Chicago, July 29-(UP)-Police

cago's torso murder.
Mrs. Evelyn Smith, former bur-
lesque strip dancer, will be re-

ably today, from New York, where
she was captured Saturday, to tell
her varsion of the strange series
of events which led to the murder
Of Erwin J. Lang.
The other woman Is Mrs. Blanche
Dunkel, the victims mother-in-
law.
Established Facts
The established facts are these
Lang's garroted and legless body
was found in q gangland "ceme-
terry" July 8. The legs later were
discovered in a trunk. Mrs. Dunkel,
who confessed strange love for
the husband of her dead daugh-
ter, told police she paid Mrs. Smith
$500 to murder Lang and dispose
of his body. She was jealous of
him, she said, and would rather
see him dead than marry another
woman"
Mrs. Smith when captured read
lily admitted her identity. She told
police she would welcome the OPP
portunity" to return to Chicago and
clear her name, adding that until
she was seized she was unaware
that Lang had been murdered.

KINCFISH LONG
COMEDY HAS NOT
BEEN FINISHED
Stealing of the Presidents
Portrait Is Another Bit
in Longs Drama

New Orleans, July 29.-CUP)-
The newest Kingfish comedy was
being enacted today to the scream
ing of police sirens and the Shoe
footing of detectives.
The entire police department was
concentrated in a search for Ar
of Mayoretaoin shrdlu mfwlu fwyr
thur Romaguera, the chauffeur
of Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley
who is accused of Stealing" a
$55 portrait of President Roosevelt
from headquarters of the old regu.
lar democratic machine which only
a few weeks ago was BITTERLY anti.
Long but now is vociferously pro-
Long.
Not Evading Arrest
But apparently Romaguera wa.
making no effort to evade arerst
While police officials were urging
speed in capturing him, he wal
going about his accustomed ways
To make the insult to Longs new
political allies more calling, HI
returned the picture to the clut
house, hung it on the wall, ant
even posed for newspaper photog
raphers.
Walmsley, his boss, practically /!
the only anti-Long remnant in ths
municipal administration which
was elected by the voters on ar
anti-Long ticket. Long has un'
dermined the government by using
his state legislature to deprive 4
of power, and, one by one, its mem.
bers have gone to his camp. Sew
eral weeks ago the old regular
ward leaders, who control the ma
chine, deserted Walmsley, who
has no jobs to distribute, for Long
who has.
Indignant, Walmsley resigned
his membership in their club and
sent Romaguera around to gel
the portrait of his adjoining the
card room.
Not Needed There
He saw on the wall the picture
of Mr.. Roosevelt.
"Since you've Joined up with the
Kingfish against the president, you
won't need this any more, so III
take It, too" he said to the ward
leaders, and, climbing up on Q
chair, he removed the portrait
along with that of his boss.
Hours later, after the incident
had been recorded In the press
the ward leaders announced they
had forbidden Romaguera to re-
move the picture and asked police
OF arrest him.
Twenty-Five new Long dictator
ship laws, further Strengthening
Longs absolute control over the
state, went into effect to-day
Some were designed to make
Walmsley's position more unten'
able and force his resignation sc
that a Long man may be appointed
by the Long governor in his stead
The new laws deprive New Orlean:
of the last of its taxing powers
and, by establishing direct state
control over all city departments
deprives Walmsley of even the
power to supervise his own offict
force.
