the institutes Board of Trustees.
In some unexplained manner the
flyer slipped through the gantlet un-
observed at about 10 O'Clock
There was considerable specula ton
as to how Col. Lindbergh managed to
turn the trick, and one mans guess
seemed NO better than another's.
Once inside the building, Col
Lindbergh chatted with trustees OF
the institute before lunching with
them. He was dressed in a blueish gray
suit, white shirt with turned-dowr
collar and black necktie
The board elected Elihu Root, jr.

caused by the death of his father, anc
Henry R. Shipley, Brooklyn architect
to fill the place of the late Andrew w
Mellon.

PUBLISHERS SIGN
WITH PRESSMEN
New Flve-Year Agreement
Is Designed to Prevent
Strikes.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Newspaper Publishers
Association and the International
Printing Pressmen's Unioh signed a
new nve-year arbitration agreement
today. 1t is designed to prevent
strikes and lockouts in newspaper
pressrooms.
James G. stahlman, publisher of
the Nashville (Tenn) Banner and
president of the A. N. P. A.. said the
agreement should point the way to
others as the only sensible, satisfac-
tory and fair" method for settling
employer-employe disputes
Senator Berry, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, president OF the preSsmens
union, said the publishers and the
pressmen, in renewing the arbitra-
ton agreement, reaffirm their ale
glance TO peace and to the normal,
orderly processes of determining eco
nomic differences through the instru-
mentality of sanity and good will"
Must Arbitrate Differences.
The agreement covering 458 daily
newspapers provides that the pub
fishers and the union must submit
any differences to arbitration If ne
gotiations and mediation fail.
1t first was made in 1908, q year
after Mr.. Berry became the unions
president.
If the press of America is to re-
main free" Mr.. Stahlman said, sit
must justify its right to that freedom
by rigid adherence to its public trust
through leadership, particularly in
times like these.
That leadership must not be merely
through editorial expression and per-
suasion, but by example as well.
1T is therefore highly fitting that
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association should by this example
point the way to others as the only
sensible, satisfactory and fair settle
ment Of differences between EMPLOYER
and employe
Full Hearings Of Facts.
This principle of arbitration in
wolves the fundamental right of all
parties to controversy to a full hear
ing upon the facts and to a fair and
impartial adjudication pertaining to
to wages, hours aed working conditions
on the basis of those facts.
That is the spirit of this agree
ment That is and must continue
to be the American way of settlement.
1T is cur honest belief that ar
bitration is the Surest and straightest
way to industrial peace and conse-
quent economic recovery"
Along with Mr.. Stahlman. the fol-
lowing signed the agreement for the
publishers:
Eugene MacKipnan, Chicago, chair
man of the A. N. P. A. Special Stand
ing Committee for Labor Contracts.

WILLIAMS AMBUSH
DETAILS REVEALED
Six Detectives Armed With
Emergency Guns Wait
for Gangsters.

Hitherto undisclosed details of the
police plant" in which Carlton Il.
(Cotty) williams was shot to death
were laid before coroner's jury today.
Six detectives, armed with guns
ordinarily reserved for emergency use,
ambushed Williams and three other
alleged gangsters during an attempt
to rob safe on the first door of a
house in the $500 block Of Suitland
road Sc. last Sunday night, the jury
was told by Detective 1t. George E.
Darnall, chief of the homicide squad.
The safe, containing between ST 200
and $500, had been painted white
In an attempt to disguise it as q
mechanical refrigerator, photographs
submitted to the jury revealed.
The officers participating in the am
bush, 1t. Darnall testified, were Capt.
Ira Keck, assistant chief of detectives;
Detective 1t. Clement P. Cox and
Detective Sergts. Joseph W. Shimon,
Jake Wolfe, Hugh Robey and Michael
J. Mahaney. Keck, Cox. Robey and
Mahaney we're armed with shotguns,
Wolfe with a machine gun and Shi-
mon with rife, 1t Darnall said.
Williams Opened Fire.
While the officers lay in waiting, it
was testified, two automobiles drove
up to the house, paused briefly and
then went on. A short time later, one
of the cars returned. A man-later
identified as Williams-stepped out
and strobe toward the house, passing
within a few feet of the concealed
policemen.
Williams opened fire, according to
1t Darnall, when he discovered the
officers In the ensuing exchange OF
shots, he was mortally wounded, dying
a short time later in Gallinger Hos
pital.
Sergt. Shimon was at the Morgue
ready to testify at the inquest, un-
perturbed by supposed attempt to
put him ION the spot in revenge for
his part in the plant"
The purported plot against Sergt
shimon came to light Tuesday night
when the detective received mysteri-
Gus telephone call offering informa-
ton concerning the Williams gang.
Although I didn't recognize the
name the man gavt," Sergt. Shimon
said, "I agreed to meet him. He
named beer garden in the Northwest
section and told me to sit at certain
table"
Caller Fails to Appear.
Sergt. Shimon informed Capt. Keck
OF the engagement, and it was ar
ranged to have the place surrounded
by officers, armed for action. The
mysterious caller did not appear. how
ever.
Because both Williams and Benja
min (Honey Boy) Sewell. colored, ont
Of his accomplices, are known to have
sold narcotics, according to Capt
Keck, it is believed the call may hav'
been from an addict made desperate
by being cut off from his source O
supply.
