EDUCATION BILL PUBLIC HEARING THIS AFTERNOON
Game Control MemoriaI and Two Others Passed
 by Territorial House

Passage of three memorials and discussion and amendment of the Nerland placer mining bill occu- pied the time of the Territorial House today before it adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow morning to make way this afternoon for the public hearing on the educa- ton bill which had assembled a large number in the House cham Der this afternoon.
 The bill, which is receiving thorough airing, would repeal the law passed by the 1883 Legislature which made the Commissioner of Education an appointive office. The present Commissioner was elected prior to the passage of the law.
 0. K. Memorials
 Without opposition, the House approved the Lyng memorial ask ing abolishment of the Alaska Game Commission, extension of the powers of the Legislature to include game laws and transfer ring control of game from the Department of Agriculture to the Territory. Unanimous support also was given the Baronovich request to Congress that no boats or fish ing gear be seized until after a suspected law violator is duly con- victed. The Memorial declares 1t has been the practice to hold such boats and gear until the case comes to trial and is disposed of.
 The Walker memorial, also deal- ing with fishing, rolled through the House and all three now go to the Senate. The latter would change the election laws so that fishermen and others outside their precincts on election day could vote. It was pointed out by the author, A. P. Walker of Craig. that many fishermen are away from their precincts 30 days prior to the election in gainful occupa- ton and because of this lose their franchise under the prevailing statute.
 Carried Over
 After adoption of several clari- flying amendments, the Nerland mining claim measure was car ried on to tomorrow's calendar in second reading when 1t was re- yealed one portion might conflict with the federal laws, legal advice being obtained in the meantime.
 Undaunted by defeat of the sim gle house plan by the Senate yes- terday, Joe Green of Hyder brought in a new House memorial on the same plan today which re- quires only House approval. The

BULLETIN - FLEMING TON, N. J., Feb. 1.-Peter Sommer, fingerprint expert, placed on the witness stand late this afternoon identified pictures of Isadore Fisch and Violet Sharpe, maid who sui- cided when about to be inter- rogated on the kidnpaing, as two of three persons he saw on a ferry boat shortly after midnight on March ?, 1882, with a blond child about two years old.

 PENNINGTON, N. J., Feb. 1.-- John M. Trenrley. East St. Louis, H.. volunteer handwriting expert, disputed and criticised the find ings of eight fellow craftsmen that Hauptmann wrote the ram som notes. '''' TT '
 TrendIy also declared that Hauptmann did not write the notes as charged in the conclus- ions of the states chief expert Osborn, especially the important- ly and discriminating nursery note.
 Trendly said Osborn based his conclusions on one word 'is."
 Asked by Attorney General Will entz, in cross examination, if he found any similarities in Haupt- mann's writings and the ransom notes, Trendley replied only in that in the letter 't."
 There are similarities then" asked Wilentz.
 Very few" replied Trendley.
 Trendley said he concluded the first four lines of the second ran- som note were written with the left hand. His statement appear ed to contradict earlier inplica- tions that the first and subse- quent notes were by different writers.

SPEEDS UP
ETHIOPIAN
CONFLICT
1000 Troops Sent to
Africa; 1900 Ready
to Go to Libya
BY HUDSON HAwLEY

ROME, Dec. 21 GN.SO.-Word
that Britain seeks mobilization of
Mediterranean powers to fight
Italy, if necessary, today brought
decisive action from Premier Mus
solini and his Fascist grand coun-
Gil aimed to clean up the Ethi-
opian campaign with dispatch
and prepare for ANY eventual
ity" in the Mediterranean.
Four thousand soldiers were on
their way to Ethiopia in the
transport Lombardia, while the
fast, mechanical Trento Division
stood ready to leave at a mo-
ment's notice for Libya, next to
the Egyptian frontier where
Britain has ground and aerial
reinercements.
Given A Laugh
Enjoying a hearty laugh over
the embarrassment ceused Britain
and France by the Paris peace
proposals, the Fascist grand coun-
Gil, after a three-hour meeting
with MusSolini broke up at a. m.
today, vowed Italy's "inflexible de-
: mination" to proceed towards
the goal set by MuSSolini for the
destinies of the nation"
Now that the plan to give half
of Ethiopia to Italy has been
abandoned. ItalJ will not bother
to reply at all to Paris and Lon
don, an official spokesman said
today. He emphasized:
Italy goes straight along on
her own path. If more pro-
pOsalS are made, Italy will
study them, but meanwhile she
marches straight ahead"
Assured that Austria would not
participate in military measures
against Italy, the government
weakened the defense of Brenner
Pass by withdrawing the Trento
division of 10000 men.
hCdUy 70 Sdh
Most of its motorized equipment
is understood to be ready to sail
from Leghorn, and the troops are
concentrated around Naples for
speedy embarkation.
They will replace the division
withdrawn several weeks ago to
ease Italo-British tension, when it
was vainly hoped that Britain
would reciprocate by recalling
some of her battleships from the
Mediterranean.
The grand council had before it
firSt-hand account of the war
from Count Galeazzo Ciano, Mus
Solini's flying son-in-law, who was
made a member of the council
when he returned from the front
to reassume direction of the. press
ministry.

SEN. SCHALL
IMPROVES
SLIGHTLY
Remains Unconscious,
However, Hospital
Bulletin Says

With his pulse and respiration
slightly stronger, slight turn for
the better was noted this after
noon in the condition of Thomas
D. Schall, blind Senator from Min
nesota, who was struck down by
an automobile Thursday night
while crossing the Washington
Baltimore Boulevard at Cottage
City, Md.
While the Senator is still un-
conscious at Casualty Hospital,
the following bulletin was issued
by DR.. George w. Calver. naval
surgeon assigned to the Capitol,
who is among the corps of doctors
on the case.
"SenaOr SchalPS condition is
slightly improved. While still
unconscious he rOuSeS slightly
occasionally. His condition, how
ever, is still critical"
Late last night three specialists
were summoned to the hospital
and joined with staff doctors in
consultation. following which
they issued a bulletin stating that
while there possibly was a slight
improvement in his general con-
dition, it was still serious"
X-Ray Plates ClOuded
Worn by the long vigil. Mrs.
Schall sat by the Senator's bedside
holding his hand and murmuring
in his ear
Eight 'em, Tom; fight 'em."
DR.. Raymond Marchante, of the
hospital staff, is on duty with the
Senator, while those called in for
the consultation were DR.. John A.
Talbot. bone specialist; DR.. John
Shugrue, Brain specialist, and DR..
James Lyons, stomach specialist.
The doctors will confer again at
the hospital today, and it is pos
sible will move the Senator to the
operating room and take more
X-ray pictures to determine the ex-
tent of his injuries. The first
plates, taken after he was received,
were clouded, it was learned.
Mass By Coughlin
In another room in the hos
pital is o. r. Leen, employe in
the Senator's office who was
leading him across the road when
they were struck down by an auto
mobile driven by Lester G.
Humphries, of Hyattsville. Leen
suffered severe lacerations and
bruises.
Messages of sympathy and en-
couragement have come to Mrs.
Schall from all parts of the coun-
try. Father Charles E. Coughlin
wired that he had celebrated a
special mass for the Senator.
Helen Keller sent a wire to the
hospital, and Mrs. Huey P. Long,
widow of the slain Senator, sent
her sympathy and best wishes to
Mrs. Schall.
Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho, telephoned to find the con-
dition of Senator Schall, as did
many other members of Congress.

FOUND SANE

WOONsOCKET, r. l., Dec. 81
0.N.SO. - Nurse Marie Simone
Sevigny, accused of the ammonia
mercy killing" of Mrs. j. Valmore
Normandin, has been found sane
without maniacal tendencies by
PSychiatrist DR.. John E. Donley,
according to a preliminary report
reaching police today. She has
responded to psychopathic tests
at Cranston Reformatory, it was
stated by police.
Frank Lanctot, husband of an
other late patient of Nurse Sc
vigny, in a letter to Attorney Gen
eral John P. Hartigan expressed
suspicion that the nurse may
have appointed herself IAN angel
of death" in the case of his wife.
However, authorities said they
did not plan another exhumation
until State toxicologiStS complete
examination of the organs of Mrs.
Normandn, expected to occupy an
other week.

Possible Murder Mo-
tive to Be Sought in

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 81 QN.S0.
The sweeping grand jury investi-
CATION to be opened Monday into
the death of Thelma Todd will
encompass every angle of the
case.
stars of the screen will be
called before the grand jury in
an effort to clear up the mystery
surrounding the garage death OF
the blonde actress. They will be
called not so much because they
might have direct knowledge OF
the circumstances of her death
but to determine if there was a
motive which might have caused
q "monoxide murder"
While investigators OF the dis
trict attorney worked feverishly
in preparation for the opening OF
the grand jury probe, police, who
made the initial investigation
rested on their oars. Capt. Bert
Wallis, who headed the police in
ouiry, today expressed himself as
being convinced the death OF Miss
Todd was accidental.
Study Murder Theory
On the other hand Deputy Dis
trict Attorney George johnson de-
clared the grand jury was in
terested in the case only because
of the possibility of murder"
The Grand Jury probe, it was
declared, was a final effort to halt
the escape of a clever murderer
if murder has been committed-a
man or woman who has hidden
the crime so adeptly, making it
seem to be something else.
Along this line of reasoning, the
investigators at the District At
torney's office were particularly
concerned with a crimson clue
brought to them by InveStiga tor
Tom CaVett.
The clue was Thelma Todd's
blood.
Cavett made another close in
spection of the death car, Miss
Todd's phaeton, and found blood
inside and outside the machine.
The Department of Justice also
has entered the case. John Han
son, new head of the department
here, sent Elton Billings, a crack
investigator, to Miss Todd's side
walk cafe" to inquire concerning
extortion notes Miss Todd was
reported to have received shortly
before her death.

Rumors that powerful figures
In Hollywood were attempting to
"hush up" the investigation into
the beauty's death also were
current.

Still Pale, III

WOODSTOCK, N. Y, Dec. 81
U.N.S0 Still suffering from the
experiences of his kidnapping. young
Caleb Jones Milne, 4th, returned
to his mothers home here today
under heavy guard.
Two automobiles containing the
kidnap victim, his mother, younger
brother, and several Department
of Justice agents arrived at Mrs.
Mines home shortly before noon.
Young Milne was rushed into the
house before he could be ques-
toned.
G-Men declined to answer ques-
tons and refused admittahce to
anyone.
Leaves Hospital
Milne was brought here from
the DoyleStown (Pa.) Hospital,
where he has been recuperating
from the results of his kidnapping.
The departure was melodra-
matically sudden and surrounded
with secrecy.
At 1880 this morning, Omen
bloSsomed out on all sides of the
hospital and cleared spectators
and newspaper men who had kept
q vigil there most of the night,
out Of the way. Five minutes
later Milne, supported by two
Omen, staggered down the hos
pital steps and into the wait
ing car.
Still Sick Youth
The youth was chalk-white and
obviously still in poor condition.
He sat in the rear seat between
his mother and brother. There
were three G-men in the car.
The automobile careened away
at top speed behind the con-
voy car.
Several press cars set out in
pursuit but were quickly outdiS-
tanced by the fast government
machines.
Girl Is Hunted
A beautiful young girl today
was thrust into the confusing
mystery surrounding the kidnap-
ing. Authorities were conducting
a search for the girl in New
York, an official disclosed.
The official said the girl might
be able to vouchSa4e very per-
tinent" information in the case.
Her home. ne said, is in Pough-
keepSie, N. Y, but she cannot
be located there now by police.
The first ransom note, queerly
composed of words clipped from
newspapers and stuck in sequence
on writing paper-the note de-
manding 0,0O0-was mailed to
Mines family from Poughkeepsie.
Caleb Knew the Girl
That Poughkeepsie postmark is
what brought the girls name to
the attention of the authorities.
