1t was overlooked at the time, but
Chief of Staff Craig's published report
on the Hagood affair contained a re-
vealing statement. He said that Gen.
Hagood's quip about wv. p. A. stage
money" appeared in The Washington
Evening Star February, 10 and that
he wrote Hagood February 10 asking
how come. In other words, for nine
days Hagood's wiscrack was appar-
emily acceptable to Craig. It sud-
denly became unacceptable on Febru-
ary 10.
Another thing not in the report,
out nevertheless true, Is that Craig
and Hdgood haue been personal
friends tor 20 years. Craig altoays
personally regarded Hdgood as a
brilliant general Whose occasional
pranks should be overlooked. As
q matter OF fact. Craig ldmented
to an intimate after composing the
Hd0ood barb: ut Uas like spank
ing a child you lope." "-
Every one in the Army knows Craig
did not take that step on his own
initiative.
The War Department has kept q
stiff military chin up on publicity, but
some of the top generals do not like
the Hagood affair at all.
Their inside story Is that this as
sociate of Harry Hopkins demanded
punishment Of the general and In
sisted on 1t.
This, however, win probably not
come out at the congressional hear
ings, as the military code requires
Craig to take the rap. S

PRIVATE BANKING
New Inspectorate Appointed
for Defense of Savings
and Exercise of Credit.

Copyright, 1896, by the Associated Press
ROME. March 3.-Private banking
in Italy was abolished today by a
sweeping banking reform, passed by
the Council of Ministers in a session
at which Premier Mussolini declared
anew Fascism's defiance of League
of Nations sanctions.
The cabinet ordered the four big
gest banks in Italy-the Bank of Italy,
the Banca Commercials Italiana, the
Credito Italiana and the Banco di
Roma-declared public banks
The ministers also confirmed a
public bank status for a number of
other important banks, including the
Banco de Napoli. Banco de Stella
and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro.
The strength Of the Bank of Italy
was reduced to a capitalization of
300,000,000 lire (about $4,000, ,000),
to be subscribed to by the public
banks.
Inspectorate Appointed.
A new "inspectorate for defense
of savinge and exercise of credit"
was appointed, comprising Mussolini
himself, the ministers of finance.
corporations and agriculture and the
governor Of The Bank of Italy.
The inspectorate was given full con-
troll over the Nations credit and
financing system. 1t was given juris-
diction also over stock exchanges.
The inspectorate's permission was
made necessary for any company to
augment its capital or issue bonds.
The cabinet also approved exten-
sion of the Institute Mobiliare Itali-
ano," which compares to the recon-
struction finance corporation of the
United States.
The institute will open branch OIL
ces in all provinces to carry its financ-
ing closer to the needs of productive
organizations.
The cabinet fixed the capital of the
Bank of Italy at 300, 600, 900 lire (about
$24,000,000). The present shares,
bearing par value of 1000 lire, will
be reimbursed at 1900 lire, although
the market value has been $500 lire.
Effect of Fusion Seen.
The cabinet did not specifically
order fusion of the major Italian
banks, but bankers asserted today,s
measures had virtually that effect.
The ministry's financial measures
ana II Duce's address came amid
celebration of the current Fascist
victories in Ethiopia and anticipation
of new League Of Nations soundings
for conciliation.
High Fascist sources declared, how
ever, that Italy would balk at max
ing peace under sanctions pressure.
Another cabinet meeting was called
for Saturday.

TRIO OF. NARCOTIC
SUSPECTS TAKEN

Specially Constructed
Limousine Arrested.

Following their arrest in a luxurious
limousine, fitted with secret panels
and a device to dump contraband in
case of pursuit, two men and woman
were held by police today in connec-
ton with narcotic violations.
With the trio at the time of their
arrest was 7-year-old boy, believed
to have been used as blind"
Closing in on the car, which they
had been seeking for more than
month, at Tenth and M streets last
night, Detective Sergts. Charles Mans
field and D. H. Jones and Federal
agents headed by B. NJ Martin ar
rested Mike Barcella, As, of Paxinso,
Pa; Walter r. Roberts, 81, and Paul
inc v. Roberts, 28, both of the 1900

give the appearance Of family
group.
The arresting officers said Barcella
and the Roberts couple were on their
way to make a delivery of narcotics
at the time they were apprehended,
and that they dumped l25 grains of
heroin when they saw they were being
pursued. The drug was later recov-
cred.

f1OA N4AAAo4Ns
THOSE who talk with President
Roosevent in private OCCASION
ally emerge with a different
4 impression than the President
has about what was said and done.
It has almost become habit.
No official record was kept of that
night pow-wow he held with his con-
gressional leaders. Few of the details
leaked out. But any one who has
been near the congressional smoking
rooms lately has heard different stories
from the Democratic leaders.
They wiH neper raise the issue
aloud, of course, but some OF them
1DiH swear on a stack OF Bibles OF
the record that no one at the con-
ference mentioned s1,137 ,000,-
900 tar bill. The first they heard
of it Uas ulen they read the White
House announcement later in the
newspapers. They ,rere amazed.
The talk they heard that night
centered mainly on $500,000,000 of
new farm taxes and recapturing some
of the impounded processing taxes.
Only one or two vaguely mentioned
S120, 100000 for bonus taxes. They
thought every one agreed to keep down
the amount of the bill in the mind
of the public.
Note-It is true that. in the past,
some people conferring with the Presi-
dent have understood him to say
what they wanted him to say. rather
than what he said. 1t is also true
that this time the congressional lead
ers wanted him to say that little or
no taxes would be enough.

the prosecution evidence after a de-
tense motion for dismissal had been
overruled.
After the trial, Russell's attorney
said his client, with Mrs. Russell and
a daughter, had been visiting friends
near Fourth and N streets. Some one,
it was said, turned over an oil lamp.
In the excitement somebody was
bruised, according to the attorneys
statement, and Russell turned in the
alarm to summon aid. McGinnis said
Russell was trying to get the fire rescue
squad.

Confessed, Police Say.
Police said they readily confessed
to sending in the alarms for their
own amusement and to see the ex-
citement Of the fire engines and
crowds.
The usual $50 reward offered by
the District led to a tip that proved
the undoing of the trio. After the

precinct II station and after a brief
questioning they admitted being re-
sponsible for the false alarms. Sergt.

They spent the night in the House
of Detention at Ninth and Potomac

ROBINSON DRAWN
INTO HAGOOD FIGHT.
Indianan Gives Explanation
of How BoIIes' Name
Entered Debate.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Former Senator Arthur Robinson of
Indiana, Republican,, and Senator
Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina,
yesterday were drawn into the con-
troversy which followed the removal
of Maj. Gen. johnson Hagood from his
command.
In Senate speech, Smith demanded
that Hagood, native of South Caro-
lima, be restored to his command of
the 9th Corps Area at San Antonio.
Robinson issued a statement pur-
porting to explain how the name Of
Maj. Gen. Frank c. Bolles, COM
mander of the 7th Corps Area at
Omaha, was injected into Senate de-
bate over the Hagood affair.
(The War Department ordered
Hagood to his home to await orders"
following publication of his testimony
before the House Military Affairs
Committee, in which he criticized
Works Progress activities. Bolles'
name was brought into the contro-
versy when Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, the majority leader, charged
he was actively engaged" in politics
and was supporting a candidate for
the presidency
Gen. Bolles, denying the charge
made by Robinson, who warned Army
officers against playing politics" ex-
pressed mystification as to how the
Arkansas Senator could make such an
accusation.
After reciting how letter from
Bolles to Indiana's Robinson, in which
political affairs were mentioned, had
been opened by mistake by Robinson
of Arkansas, the Indiana Robinsons
statement said:
Attention is called to the fact that
Senator Robinson of Arkansas made
his charge on the Senate floor on the
same day that he re-addressed the
letter from Bolles to the Indiana Rob-
inson."
Gen. Bolles was the Indiana Rob-
inson's commanding officer during the
World War, the statement explained,
and as close personal friends they
correspond frequently.
Gen. Bolles' letter had said:
my dear Senator:
II obtained a copy of the Liberty,
which you mentioned in your note,
and was certainly interested in read
ing the article.
(The article, discussing presidential
possibilities. included the name of
Robinson of Indiana.)
Remember, I am pulling for one
particular candidate in that list. who
comes from Indiana. I hope that
things will so shape that my wish will
come true.
II am certainly getting kick out
Of this political campaign, and I
believe that it is going to be the most
exciting that has occurred during my
lifetime.
I'VE have been having a terrible
siege of weather here for the last few
weeks, and it hasn't let up yet, but
hope that 1t will soon.
1.-THE family, barring colds, are all
we'll and join me in love to Mrs. Rob-
inson, yourself and the children"
The letter from Robinson of Ar
kansas to the former Indiana Sen
ator, dated February Is, said:
IT inclose herewith a letter, evi-
IDENTIFY intended for you. which was
delivered to me in my mail and opened
i by one of my clerks. It was not noted
that the letter was not intended for
me until after the same had been
placed on my desk"
Senator Smith termed Hagood's
punishment" as perhaps the great
est ingratitude ever perpetrated on a
servant of the public"
