Chief MorriSsey and l can claim

Quoting his department on the prin-
ciple laid down by me in the last
campaign; That there is not a
Democratic way or a Republican
way to run a city; it should be run
in the right way.
Y was not so much interested
upon my return to the city in the
'bookie' situation. which is of pri-
mary interest only to the relatively
small number who lose by it, as l
was interested and concerned by
the continued increase in accidents.
I shall confer with Judge Charles
J. Karabell and Judge Dewey Myers,

Johnson in the prosecutors office
and endeavor to cooperate with
them IN a determined and continued
effort to make indianapolis motor

zenS."
A short time before Mayor Kern
issued his statement, Chief Nor
rissey issued orders to his raiders
that if bookmakers refuse to open
doors for them, they are to batter
down the doors.
To lend authority to this order,
the chief provided each squad with
a l6-pound sledge hammer. He pro-
vided them also with re-tapping
equipment and stated publicly that
the police department will do ev-
erything in its power to track them
down and keep them out of bust
ness.

principle, provided for reduction in

Funeral services were being ar
ranged today for 1~7-year-old Robert
Tuell, 2941 Caroline-st, who was
killed early last night while hunt
ing pigeons in the flooring of the
3O-st bridge over Fall Greek.
A slip of his hand in the dark

st, had taken bags and trapped the
birds in the ~recesses under the
bridge.
Robert wanted to make one more
trip after the others had finished.
His friends saw him lower his body
over the balustrade and a short time
later heard a splash in the water.
When there was no answer to
their frantic calls, the youths ran
down the creek bank and waded
into the water. The only trace of
their companion was the blood
stained stone pier base.
Maurice Fitzgerald, a fireman
from Engine House %, recovered the
body in a deep hole at the base of
the pier. Police believed that Rob-
ert struck the pier with such force
that he was killed Immediately. The

DuCe Demands Action
BIZ Lnited Press

By United Press
MILAN, April premier Benito
Mussolini today demanded that
France, Great Britain and Italy
adopt q united course of action in
face of possible war.
The forecful Duce, tired Of what
he called the European diplomatic
circuit" Of statesmens visits to each
other, demanded that at their con-
ference at Stresa. April II, the for
eign ministers of the three allied
countries unite for action.
His demand was made in his
newspaper Popolo d'Italia, which
he founded in 1914, when the World
War broke out, to become the
mouthpiece that was to lead him to
the heights Of power.
In an editorial, branding the
diplomatic visits as a circuit" be
warned against over-optimism re-
garding the Stresa conference, ali
which he will be host and on which,
he said, 'the usual castles of illu-
sion are being built"
This was a reference to the spec
ulation that at Stresa it will be pos
sible to make an offer to Ger
many that will restart Europe to-
ward a p%aci1cation agreement.
Complete Unison Urged
"The foreign ministers of France.
Great Britain and Italy Will meet
at Stresa," II Duce said. 1T can
not be said that these govern
ments have been completely in
unison in facing the German ges-
ture of March Is.
This was the German law REIN

establish a common line Of action

Foreign Minister Pierre Laval Of

in its first phase-at Stresa.
Decries Exaggerated Optimism"
After the failure Of British ex-
ploration at Berlin, many hopes are
converging on Stresa. According to
some, from Stresa should come the
salvation of humanity, something
like a miracle to end in a nightmare.
"IG is absolutely necessary to
pour a certain quantity Of water into
the wine Of this exaggerated OPP
timism."
1t was recalled that Mussolini
from the first demanded strong &C
ton against Germany, and took
steps to increase the army to thrice
its normal size.
