admitting the recent" capture by the Italians of a post in the Webbe Shibeli river valley on the southern front, asserted that the Philippians retired only for lack of ammunition after outfighting the Italians.
 During the engagement, it was asserted, the Philippians brought down two Italian airplanes. Four occupants of one plane were killed in the crash, it was said, and the second, filled with bombs, exploded when it hit the ground.
 One machine gunner in the fight, according to the communique, in- f1icted great losses until the 400 rounds of ammunition allotted him was exhausted and then retired only after removing the hreech of his gun, rendering it useless to the Italians. He was one of several decorated.
 More League Penalties.
 Geneva, Nov. G. (UP) - The League of Nations general staff be- gan consideration today of new penalties against Italy which would shut down her industries. and im- mobilize her war machine if suc- cessfully imposed.
 It is proposed to try to deprive Italy of oil, coal, iron and steel all absolutely essential to her.
 To make the imposition possible it would be necessary to obtain the cooperation of non-league states, and particularly of the United States and Germany.
 Active cooperation would entail embargoes against these materials, not closed directly as war mate rials but necessary for the conduct of a war by Italy.
 But as ambitious as the plan seemed, many league members cherished hope that 1t might be ef- fected through the passive cooper ation of part or all of the non- league states.

tending to that point of view"
 He asked if there were any op- position and in the absence of none, remarked T think it proper to observe that in order to clear the decks for further action, I will ap- point Mir. Palmer in the confidence that he will serve the court with the same distinction he has shown to his corporation"
 Gov. Green Answered
 Hincks ruled that public interests in the reorganization of the rail- road must be heard by the inter- state commerce commission so as to expedite the rehabilitation of the road under Section 77-B of the bankruptcy act.
 He delivered his remarks from the bench to Gov. Theodore Green, Rhode Island, representing the rail- road committee of the New England governors, who presented g. petition in behalf of the executives, offering the cooperation of that group in solution of the railroadd's financial affairs.
 Should I allow issues to come in that should be rightfully before the interstate commerce commits sion," Judge Hincks told Gov. Green, "it might produce a whirl- pool that would cause a wreckage in which the New Haven road would be tossed around. to the end of time.
 Therefore I must insist that the court hear only evidence delegates to it under the act and that other evidence be given before the inter state commerce commission" Continuing, he said, i've must let the record show that the governor is the honored and welcomed guest of the court, here to emphasize the public aspect ot the case" Gov. Green Replies Gov. Green was granted permis- sion to reply.
 Consistent with all you have said" he told Judge Hincks, would it not be a waste of tiRe to appoint a receiver who might not later be approved by the interstate com merce commission? We are here not by right, not claiming any legal right, but only as 8 friend of the court"
 Nearly a score of counsel crowded before the bench, including James B. Adley, general counsel of the Re- construction Finance Corporation, which refused a loan of $5,000,000 to the road and precipitated the reor- ganization; Paul Dever, attorney general of Massachusetts, who was said to approve appointment of 8 Massachusetts man as one of the trustees; Peter c. Borre, Boston, chief counsel for New England of the Sabath Congressional commit tee and David A. Stoneman, Bos- ton, special counsel of the commit tee.
 The latter two said they attended the hearing merely as unofficial observers.

 The brief wedding ceremony be- gan at 11:30 a. m. (6:30 8. m. EST) :. It had been shortened because the smallness of the chapel would not permit a big choir for the full musi- cal ceremony. It was entirely pri- vate.
 The ceremony was performed without g hitch and in the shortest possible time.
 The bride, accompanied by her brother, the new Duke of Buccleuch, in the uniform of captain of the grepadier guards, drove down Con- stitution Hill to the palace in 8 closed seini-state carriage, drawn by two bays and escorted by eight mounted police through the crowd massed about the entrance to the palace. Lady Alice waved a tiny, white-g gloved hand 70 the crowd.

 Bridgeport women have been frightfully neglected in politics." she said. Men have always walked off with the plums, and I intend to see that women get their rightful place in public life"
 She was more excited about the reelection of MeLevy than over her own victory.
 I'm so thrilled about Jasper's triumph that I don't know what to do or say. I haven't even thought about myself"

 Officers Dunn and Mariana Scl- lowed under the platform and af- ter 8 few moments search, found the man hanging from Q cross-beam.
 It was Dereskevich. He had been drinking. The officers found . het- tie upon his person.
 Was Bound Over
 Dereskevich was bound over to superior court when he was arr raigned in city court, and not hav- ing the necessary bond money was taken to the New Haven county jail. Tn the meantime County De- tective Roland c. Alling investigated the breaks and learned that en- trance to the cars on the previous nine breaks had been made by the same manner = that is, by a brake 014OC ACy.
 The company reported that when Armour and Company shipped the goods to the local branch, the cars were padlocked and the keys sent separately to the branch office here.
 Dereskevich, who is married, but has no children, let it be known that he would plead guilty to the charge in superior court so he was ar raigned this morning.
 Had Been Drinking
 His counsel, Attorney Joseph c. Guilfoile, pleaded that the man was under the influence of liquor at the time and said he had been con- stant drinker. Judge Jennings said steps should have been taken be- fore now to have the accused stop his drinking and then imposed sem tence.
 Dereskevich's record began in 1917. It shows that the great ma jority of arrests were due to drink ing.

sons indefinite personal politics and the fact that the democratic candi- date made real race out of a contest which in most election years is a republican runaway.
 Since Wilson came to Philadelphia from Cambridge, Mass, at 24 he has been successiyely, democrat, re- publican, independent, democrat and again republican. He was born in Cambridge in 1881. the year demo- crats last elected 8 Philadelphia mayor.
 In 1912 Wilson helped organize the Pennsylvania Woodrow Wilson league. He operated a successful contracting business from 1912 un- til 1880; with an interim during the World War as a department of justice agent. Gov. Clifford Pinchot appointed him city controller in 1883 and in November of the same year he was elected to the office as a democrat.
 Wilson Couldn't Vote.
 Because of that, democrats chal- lenged his right to register as a republican and he was unable to vote yesterday.
 The states three largest cities voted overwhelmingly to repeal the Sunday blue laws that have re- mained on statute books for l4l years. Theaters will open at 3 D. m. next Sunday in Philadelphia. Pittsburgh and Scranton, the first time in history that residents of the three cities have had Sunday stage or screen entertainment.
 Other communities that repealed the old laws were Wilkes-B Reading, Chester, Carbondale, Lock Haven, and many small villages and towns. Harrisburg, Bethlehem. Pot tstown, Shamokin and Hazelton voted to retain the laws.

 Torrio first received official recog- nition here when, last August, As- sistant District Attorney Robert ". Santangelo charged the former Chicago gangster was attempting to become power in Tammany Hall.
 Since then IA mobsters, all el- legedly connected with the policy rackets that are said to yield more than 8 million month, have met death.
 Latest Was Sherman
 Latest was Charles (Chink) Sher- man, whose body, badly burned by quick-lime, was found in a shallow grave near Monticello, N. r., 100 miles from Broadway where he act- ed as an important aide to such notorious New York underworld characters as Jack Gegs) Diamond, Owney Madden, Waxey Gorden and others.
 Sherman lately was known as an enemy of Arthur Dutch Schultz) Flegenheimer, acknowledged leader of the policy rackets until he was fatally wounded Oct. 8 in a Newark bar-room. Three other Flegenheimer gangsters died with their leader.
 Sherman was said by police to have had connection with Detroit's Purple Gang"
 Authorities today deported Tor rios whereabout unknown but they sought him for questioning along with Luciano. Luciano repaired to Florida to "rest" just before Fleg- enheimer and his friends were moved down.
