DUTCH SCHULTZ
 CASE IN BOSTON

Boston, Nov. 13-(UP)-Federal agents today checked bank accounts and income tax returns of five Massachusetts men !n connection with the racketeering activities and killing of Dutch Schultz, New York gangster. G-men reportedly have learned that Schultz sent $125, ,000 to this section for investment in two New England race tracks. The gang leader also had extensive interests in smuggling of liquor, perfumes and narcotics along the coast.
 Names of the Massachusetts men reportedly were discovered among Schultz's private papers after his death. Two of them are attorneys, another is an investigating official, the fourth holds legal position and the fifth once was close to former state executive, according to reports. Although none of the men is sus- pected of the actual staying of Schultz, it is believed one or more of them may have ordered the gang ster's killing. Federal agents believe Schultz was shot after demanding an accounting on funds, and the whereabouts of the money sent here for investment may provide sub stantial clue to the identity of his slayer.

Gou. Cross Is Upheld h Keating Decision

The argument arose as to whether a vacancy actually existed on the board and whether it could be filled without the advice and consent" of the senate, as stipulated in the statutes.
 Justice Hinman decided that when Hendricks term expired June 2, 1885, a vacancy was created, that on July Hendrick was not de jure member of the board, that the governor was not required to seek senate confirmation of his appoint ment after the session had ad- journed and that Heating legally was a member of the board.
 Hendrick was the sole remaining republican on the finance board and had served for six years.
 'The intent of the statute" Jus tice Hinman .wrote, lis to place the primary responsibility for the choice of the appointed members of the board upon the governor. To hold that, upon the failure of the sen- ate to confirm an appointment made by him, the incumbent would continue to hold office for the length of an entire term might we'll mean that one who is not selected by the governor, and it may well be that he was not acceptable to the senate, would continue in office for a period of six years. On the other hand, an appoint ment by the governor running to the end of that term would preserve the plan of succession indicated by the act, and no other reason appears for the unusual iberality provided for as to time covered by such an appointment.
 "On the whole, we consider that the statute under which the realtor was appointed may and should be so construed that the ending of the General Assembly, session of 1895, without having confirmed an ap- pointment to office, and the expira- tion of the realtors specified term of office, six years from July 1, 1929, created a situation enabling the governor to appoint the re- spondent, under the vacancy clause for the unexpired portion of the term of six years from July 1, 1935.'

GOV. CURLEY IS
 GIVEN SUPPORT

Boston, Nov. 13-(UP)-The gov- ernor's council, to 3, today con- firmed the appointment of Coun- cilor Joshua Arthur Baker, Pitts field, republican, as superior court justice.
 Baker succeeds the late Superior Judge Frederick Macleod.
 Confirmation by the council fol- lowed an eleventh-hour attempt by the Boston Bar Association to "kill" the appointment.
 The association had petitioned Governor Curley today to withdraw the nomination on grounds that its purpose was to reward Baker for failing to vote on a certain ap- pointment" bu Curley.
 After confirming Bakers appoint ment, the council confirmed the appointment of Morton H. Burdick, Southampton democrat, as Bakers successor on the council. This strengthens Curley's control of that important advisory body.

REMAINS SILENT
 ON MANS DEATH
Clamped Lips Tight on Secrets of Her Love
 Life With Victim
BY CHARLES M. PoOLER

Limited Press Sta Corresp0ndent.)
 New York, Nov. 13.-(UP)-Beau- tiful Vera Stretz clamped her red lips tight on secrets of her love life with wealthy Dr Fritz Gebhardt to-day and icily informed police they must learn for themselves why she killed him.
 She shot Gebhardt, German scientist and industrialist who has a wife and two daughters, in his apartment in expensive Mitchell place yesterday. Police found him dead in an old fashioned night gown and captured her, with gun and bloodstained silk nightdress in her handbag, sobbing on a stair way of the building.
 She admitted the staying to a policeman, then refused to talk further. Even when arraigned on 8 charge of suspicion of homicide she kept silent. She was held with out bail for a hearing November q.
 Lawyer Silent Also
 A lawyer, Arthur M. Moritz, talked with her more than two hours in ths women's detention house and adopted the same attitude.
 q won't have any statement, she won't have any statement, no mem- Der of her family will have any statement" he said.
 Miss Stretz, 31. presented police and the district attorney with dif- faculties that such crimes do not ordinarily possess.
 "She acts like woman of ice, ," Captain Edward Dillon said.
 Despite her silence, detectives were able to piece together credi- hle motive for the slaying-jealousy.
 It was obvious, they said, that she and Gebhardt had been inti- mate for a considerable period. He was 43 and approaching badness, but the girl apparently had a deep passion for him. She said he was her fiance.

When people are suffering like I am, doctors should be permitted, in the name of humanity, to give them something that will bring an end to their misery. That can't be murder, it's the biggest favor a doctor can do to hoplessly in- crrable person.
 lAs Not Afraid to Die
 I'm not afraid to die. I can't stand these days of amending pain much longer. Somewhere certain ly, there is somebody who will help me out. I can't believe that the ethics of the medical profession can be SO merciless that they would permit a person to suffer a life of misery. It can't be that way
 My physician isn't fooling me. He tries to cheer me up, telling me there is hope. But after two years with no improvement, with the pain growing steadily worse. I know that the end is only a question of time. And I don't want to wait until natural death comes.

BANKERS FIGHT OVER OFFICERS
New Deal Seems to Have Become Subject of De-
 bate at Convention
BH I. I. FEMRITE

04 As 4s E0N1A4G United Press. Stan CorrespOndent)
 New Orleans, Nov. 13-(UP) - Dissension over New Deal economies plunged the American Bankers Association convention into bitter strife today. Election of vice presi- dent who automatically will become president in 1897 forced the bank CTS to 8 clear cut vote for or against policies of President Roosevelt.
 Candidates of rival groups were E. G. Bennett, friend of the New Deal, and Orval w. Adams, who suggested to the bankers annual convention Monday that they boy- colt government bonds to halt "wasteful spending" Both are from Salt Lake City.
 First Contest In Years
 The contest, first on the conven- tion floor since 1912, precipitated such an un-bankerly row in the nominating committee that it seem- ed for while the committee would nominate no one. Eastern bankers introduced Frank F. Brooks, presi- dent of the First National Bank of Pittsburgh, as 8 compromise candi- date. He won no more than tenta- tive backing and his friends said he would not be nominated today on the floor.
 The committee nominated Ben- nett by one-vote majority after hours of debate. Adams supporters voted in the committee for Brooks, preferring to keep their powder for the explosion expected in the full convention today. Adams will be nominated independently.
 Charles F. Zimmerman, president of the First National Bank of Huntingdon, Pa., announced Adams would be supported as "the out standing exponent of members who favor recognition of states rights and preservation of our dual bank ing system without impairment, and its independence from federal gov- ernment control"
 Civil War Breaks Out
 The conventions civil war broke almost immediately after the re- tiring president, Rudolf s. Hecht, of New Orleans, read 8 statement from President Roosevelt saying that banks are in strong position.
 The bankers heard Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the REC and Chairman Leo T. Crowley of the federal den0Sit insurance cOrnOra. ton elaborate upon the Roosevelt hint that banks may help them selves.
 Unemployment, Jones said, is a bankers problem.
 "We can continue to let the gov- ernment shoulder the responsibil- ity," he said, 'but let's not fool our- selves by thinking we will escape the ultimate cost"

YALE STUDENTS
 IN SAFETY DRIVE

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 13CUP) The "safe driving" campaign, in- augurated by the Hartford Times several months ago at the height of devasting nationwide highway toll, was taken up today by Yale University as the first college to enroll its students in drive to ira- press caution among motorists.
 President James Rowland Angel signed the first pledge and cards were distributed by the Yale Daily News throughout the student body.
 The news editorially pointed out that figures show that the greatest responsibility for accidents rests with persons of college age. It is then all the more imperative that we of that age join in the fight against highway slaughter in the best way we can: By a determine ton to minimize our share in the slaughter.
 Since the inauguration of the pledge idea, approximately 30 news papers throughout the country have taken similar steps to cooperate with police and motor vehicles commissioners to bring about vol- untary enforcement of the rules of the road.

IT for the murder of Patsy Deluca during a holdup at the Norwalk Red Wing A. M, Nov. 10, 1884 and granted him 8 new trial because of error in pro- ceedure during his arraignment last March.

 Comley Statement
 The incident arose when defense counsel, in cross-examining Scar pello, sought to read into the evil dence a newspaper account of the proceedings. Comley objected, de- claring:
 T object to any reading from the Norwalk newspapers, your hon. or. If there is any privilege of ex- emption to be given this man it comes from me, not from any re- porter of the Norwalk newspapers. I can only say that no such prom iSe has been made"
 Defense counsel objected to the admission of Comley's statement and asked for dismissal, which was denied.
 Deluca was killed when four ban dits raided the club and ordered the members to throw up their hands. Deluca, believing the affair hoax, refused and he was shot in the back.

Clergymen Give Support

Chicago, Nov. 13-(UP)-Promi- nent English clergymen have given their support to the mercy mur- ders" of persons hopelessly i'll, the journal of the American Medical as- sociation reported today in dis patches from its London corre- gpondent.

 Tt is the duty of the medical pro- fession," he said, Ito save lives and not to take them"
 The London correspondent said Dean Inge ito meet possible objec- ti0ns on religious grounds, signed a Statement that what is proposed is not contrary to Christian princi- ples."

of the country or slipped through the main Italian forces as they ad- vanced to Makale.
 All Kinds of Weapons
 The bands of fierce Philippians, armed with all kinds of weapons from barbed spears to modern rifles, were under the leadership of the redoubtable Dejas Ghebriet, a lieu tenant of Ras Seyoum. Apparently the Philippians were resorting to the guerilla warfare for which they are famed and were attempting to harass the rear and Hanks of the Italian forces. Such tactics the Italians determined to halt, the fighting to-day being the first move in that direction.
 Columns of General Santinis As karis (native Italian troops) have marched to the DeSSa zone, 20 miles east of Makale, it was announced officially. The move was made to cooperate with the nativve troops of Colonel Lorenzini who is encamped at AZbi after an arduous march with mules and camelS along the noun tainous fringe of the Danakil desert from Massaw.
 Philippians Are MaSSing
 The march to the Dessa zone was made to protect the left flank from sudden murderous raids of Ethiopian bands under Dedjas Sebat.
 Another extension of the widening Italian front occurred on the other Adirassi and Adiencanto which are respectively 30 and 40 miles south- l west of AxSum. Airplane scouts who flew over the Togora sector between Makale and Lake Aschianghi, reported massing of Ethiopian bands, all heavily armed and apparently ready to make stand in that region. The flyers sighted one large camp con- plete, with tents, camel corps and mules.
 They reported another Ethiopian concentration on the Ambi Alag caravan route in the same region.
