During the labor troubles in the
Southern West Virginia mining sec
ton in 1919 to 1921, Mr.. Hill headed
volunteer forces needed to repair tele-
phone lines shot down by the strik-
ing miners. When a bombing plane
crashed in a forest area in Nicholas
County, he spent more than "a hours
on the telephone, to get the first def
mite information as to the possible
location of the plane. A group of
Army officers proceeded to the indi-
Gated place and found the wreck with
four of the five occupants dead and
the other suffering from injuries from
which he subsequently died. AS re-
suit of these activities, the telephone
company awarded Mr.. Hill the Theo-
dore N. Vail medal for noteworthy
public service.

The master dealers have worked
out sly new idea about using this
new relief fund to drain some of the
stagnant pools of money lying around
in banks and elsewhere nowadays.
They haze put up to President
Roosevelt q plan Whereby the GoD-
eminent tDould sell to private in
uestors bonds on selt-hquidating
projects. 1t Mould probably be
done by the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. An open offer to buy them
back Uould be made by the corpo-
ration so as to keep the bonds
liquid and attractive.
1t has been tried on a small scale.
The r. F. c. has sold about $780,
600, 900 worth Of State and city bonds
taken in by the Public Works Ad-
ministration. and sold them for more
than the Government paid. The ex-
act profit was $931,196.
You are likely to see this prize idea
included when the Presidents pro-
gram is announced.
Bank Bill Not 50 Bad.
There was more than meets the
eye in that irate statement from Bell
wether, Senator Glass denying he had
made up his mind to fight against
the new banking bill.
The fact is seperal odn,inistra-
ton critics hare looked oDer that
bill and found it tDds not as bad as
they expected it to be.
The bill is padded with proposals
which are law already in the various
emergency measures previously passed.
It centralizes authority in the Fed
eral Reserve Board sufficiently to
make it practically central bank.
Minor defects will be changed, but
the bill will get through Congress
substantially, as it is late in the ses-
sion.
Another good business sign is the
current pickup in electrical power
consumption. Output was up 10 per
cent for the week ending January 26.
This was 81 per cent over 1888.
The curtailment Of American diplo-
matte representation In Russia was
the most severe diplomatic rebuff we
have delivered any foreign nation In
long time. The best authorities
here believe Russia viii come forward
shortly with Q fair trade proposal.

EUROPEAN WAR
SEEN IN FUTURE
DR.. F. B. Smith Holds Ethio-
plan Crisis May Lead to
Greater Struggle.

There will be no general European
war for the present. but the Italo-
Ethiopian affair may lead to a greater
struggle some years hence in which
many nations may be involved, in the
opinion of DR.. Fred B. Smith, chair
man of the Executive Committee of
the World Alliance for International
Friendship Through the Churches.
A student Of international politics
for more than four decades, DR.. Smith
was the speaker at the vesper service
at Washington Cathedral yesterday
DR.. Smith, who recently returned
from his forty-fourth visit to the Old
World, marched with the choir and
clergy to his place in the chancel be-
hind the golden cross presented to the
Cathedral by Emperor Halle Selassie.
Conference Of Vengeance.
In his address the speaker called
attention to the tremendous con-
fusion" of the hour.
AT the close of II years Of struggle
for peace" he said, I'VE find the earth
afflicted with greater danger than
ever. The so-called peace conference
at Versailles, we now know, was in
fact conference Of vengeance. Its
fruits are universal fear, distrust and
irritation. ''"
More Than half the white popu-
lation Of the earth is dominated by
brutal dictators. Hard, egotistical
nationalism, than which there could
be no more terrible threat, prevails on
every hand. Meanwhile. there has
been an almost total inability to de-
velop efficient implements Of peace
Sanctions, for example, We now see,
cannot be put into effect with any
good result If the members of the
League of Nations invoke article 10
their peoples will not follow them.
Fight to the Death.
But that does not mean that we
are exempt from greater and more
horrible war. Never before in our
lifetime has there been such hatred
and suspicion among the nations. We
may blunder into another cataclysm.
But If We have another world strug-
gle there ought not to be any fancy
things said about it. There should
be frank concession that it will be a
fight to the death. None Of the
issues at stake are spiritual issues.
Grass economics is at the bottom Of
every one Of them"

PARIS, October 28.-France's en-
listment with the nations which have
accepted economic sanctions against
Italy sent hopes dwindling today for
any early discovery of a satisfactory
basis for settlement Of the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict.
Reports that the Italian Army had
resumed active operations in Ethiopia
also gave setback to earlier optimism
over peace negotiations.
Informed French quarters said dip
lomatic exchanges were being resumed
today after week end lapse, but they
conceded that the peace process was
bound to be slow and laborious.
Domestic Affairs Pressing.
Premier Pierre Laval, who had TAX

tween Rome, Paris and London. sud-

mestic affairs.

Staff for Sanctions will meet october

its condemnation of Italy's "aggres-

Rumors were revived that Laval
might yield the premiership to some
one else in a cabinet shake-up under
the burden Of his mediation efforts,
and devote himself entirely to the
handling Of foreign affairs. an old role
for him.

REGENCY TALKED .
FOR STARHEMBERG
Fascist Leader of HeimWehr
May Be Installed "About
Christmas Time"
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VIENNA, October 28.-Supporters Of
Austria's spectacular vice chancellor,
young Prince Ernst Won Starhemberg,
talked freely today of putting q royal
scepter in his hands.
The prince, friend Of Benito Mus
solini and foe OF Adolf Hitler, has
opposed immediate restoration Of the
Hapsburg dynasty with increasing
vigor.
With his grip on the government
strengthened appreciably by the re-
cent shake-up in the cabinet, the
Fascist leader Of the Heimwehr (Home
Guard may be installed as regent
about Christmas time," predicted
friends.
Tentative plans call for merging the
Heimwehr with Austria's other private
armies January l. II q regency were
created before the end Of the year.
Starhemberg still would have direct
control Of his Heimwehr.
May Be Named King.
A high authority in the Heimwehr
and Patriotic Fatherland Front put
the proposition regarding a restoration
Of monarchial form Of government
in this way:
THE possibility that soon thereafter
fthe naming Of a regent) he might be
proclaimed King must be reckoned
with"
Meanwhile, the Austrian government
is carrying on with a President whose
term under the old constitution ex-
pired October 20.
President Wilhelm Miklas retains
Office despite the inconsistency that
the constitution under which he vas
elected has been superseded by fed
Grafton of states governed under an
authoritary principle.
At Linz yesterday the vice chan
cellor reviewed 10000 armed members
of the HeimWehr in parade regard
ed widely as demonstration Of the
troops loyalty to him in view of the
elimination from the cambinet Of Emil
Fey, interior minister.
Wants Democratic Kingdom.
A friend of the Prince who occupies
one Of the most important positions
in the government argued that a
Starhemberg dynasty would be prefer
able to restoration of the Hapsbures
because the pretender to the throne
Archduke Otto, wants a democratic
kingdom, an idea "repulsive to the
Fascist spirit Of the new Austria"
He said the little entente and some
other states oppose putting Hapsburg
on the throne.
Starhemberg's attitude toward the
movement to make him regent was
undiscloesd, but In an address he
warned the most strict discipline would
be required from new men Of the
new Austria, and history will record
that you were pioneers in the creation
of new state"
We now depend only on our
straight-shooting machine guns" he
added, in answer to the challenge Of
"our barbaric Western neighbor."

REJECTED BY COURT
Supreme Tribunal Refuses to
Pass on Practice in Tax
Evidence.

The Supreme Court today rejected
second request to pass on use of
wire tapping by Federal officers in

Jenello, also known as Genetti and
Gennelli of Scranton and Dunmore,

He claimed evidence against him was

David A. Reed, former Pennsylvania
Senator, asked the reconsideration.
He claimed the refusal of the Supreme
Court to review the case permitted
use of wire tapping by Federal officers
