SLAYS TWO IN ESCAPING FROM
 BANK HOLDUP
Lone Robber Who Won Gun Battle Near Tacoma May Be Kidnap Suspect DESCRIPTION OF MAN TALLIES WITH MAHAN Gunman Holds Up Orting State Bank, Makes
 Away with $500

TACOMA, Wash, July 15.-Frank Chadwick, Chief of Police of Puyal- lup, and Harry Storem, Puyallup Police officer, were shot and killed in a gun battle near Sumner this morning when they attempted to arrest a bandit shortly after he had held-up the State Bank of Orting.
 Playing lone hand, the bandit held up the teller, grabbing $500 in currency from the teller's cash drawer and then hastily left the bank, making a getaway.
 MAY BE MARIAN
 TACOMA. July l5.-The possibil- ity that the Orting bank robber and slayer of two peace officers may have been William Mahan. Weyerhaeuser kidnaper, is seen when the Pierce County Deputy Sheriffs reported the description tailed closely with that of Mahan and also the method of the bandit in holding up the bank tallied closely with that of Mahan in previous crimes.

Qdy QeCldIeQ It's COI1IIuc1Sc III tAc
economic policies of its premier,
Pierre Laval, by a vote Of 345 to
226.
By the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 28.-The reopen
ing of the French Parliament precipi-
, tated today a fight by Premier Pierre
Laval to save his government from
overthrow and the franc from depre-
citation.
The premier intended to demand
quick vote of confidence from the
Chamber of Deputies on his monetary
policies and his defense Of the gold
standard for the franc.
A fall of his government would not
only bring devaluation nearer to
France, but also would endanger the
remainder of the gold bloc, financial
experts asserted.
Would Change War Position.
An overthrow of the cabinet by
the Deputies, forcing Laval out as
premier and foreign minister. would
bring an almost certain change in
Frances position in the Italo- -Ethi-
opian conflict, observers said, possibly
with new premier leading more
vigorous policy against italy.
The golden franc, which Laval's
ministers pledged themselves to de-
fend, might In turn save the govern
ment, informed sources said.
Chamber left and left center groups
have opposed bitterly Laval's defiation
program, but none have wanted to
accept responsibility for a financial
panic.
Laval made it clear alteration of
his decree laws would mean an unbal-
anced budget, which bankers said
might start another drain on gold,
making it difficult to renew the Short
term bonds on which the treasury de-
pends.
The outward flow of gold, even be-
fore the Chamber reconvened, was
used by Laval's supporters as warm
ing of imminent financial troubles if
Laval was voted out.
Lie pICIillcI pOl1tICd1 DdCkeTS
agreed the strongest point on his side
was the balanced budget-the bulwark
Of the golden franc which they said
his opponents were afraid to destroy.
Major Issues.
Three major issues before Parlia-
ment might affect the soundness Of
the franc:
l. Voting of the regular 1886 budget,
which the government has sought to
balance at 10000, ,000, 900 francs.
2. Voting of the emergency arma-
ments budget of 6,320, 100000 francs,
mostly for warships, airplanes and
motorized equipment.
8. Ratification of the decree laws,
whose economies and new revenue
provisions were intended to keep the
budget balanced.
Another fight which rival factions
intended to carry to the floor of the
