Filibusters Win
 On CI0ture Move

Washington, Jan. .27-(UP)- Senate filibusters led by Sen. Carter Glass, D., Va, today smashed an attempt to limit debate on the anti-lynching bill and predictedsthat the con- troversial measure soon would be shelved.
 A motion by Sen. M. M. Nicely, D., w. Va, to invoke a "gag" rule and thus break the three-weeks filibuster against anti-lynching bill failed to win the necessary twO-thirds maj ority.
 The vote was 51 against cloture and 37 for cloture, far short of the two-thirds re- quired to invoke the rule.

that there "are no further develop ments" and MT. Leary made the fol- lowing statement:
 Mir. Lewis questioned me about an hour and half, not only in re- gard to missing records but also as to the conduct of the office Of the controller during the last eight years. MT. Lewis inquired of me in great detail in relation to many transactions and believe I an- swered him frankly and fully"
 Neither Would Discuss 1t
 Neither the states attorney nor Mfr. Leary would discuss the de- tails of the conversation as to what any further developments might be through any information furnished concerning the controllers office affairs. MT. Lewis remarked that 1t was his understanding that no as- pect of the audit would act as barrier on comment by MT. Leary about the conference.
 It was understood that MT. Leary felt that he had discussed the situ- ation fully before he left on his vacation trip when he appeared be- fore the board of finance and, later, declared that he would welcome an impartial audit" of the office.
 MT. Lewis, despite publicized com- ment to the contrary, had remarked on at least two occasions that he knew how to get into touch with MT. Leary if he felt that any develop ments in the affair Controller Row. land warranted. He had said then that there was no immediate neces- sity of conferring with MT. Leary.

robbery of Robert Betts, of Johnson street, an insurance man, which occurred November 6, 1897. McGee, SchuSter and Edward Root, were sentenced to States Prison on charges of robbery with violence at a previous Superior Court hearing. Michael Basta, also said to be a member of the group, was given a suspended sentence, also at prev ious hearing.
 First Pleaded Guilty
 Cunningham pleaded guilty to the charge of robbery with violence when he was first arraigned before Judge McEvoy on January II. At that time Judge McEvoy deferred sentence.
 Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald presented Cunning ham, stating, T believe your honor is well acquainted with this case and that you have had it under ad- visement for some time"
 Judge Talked With Him
 More than that" said Judge Mo- hfOy, lIdTC Ald0 O 1OIA6 o11h WAO4A the accused in my office and we've gone over the whole affair thor oughly. He appears to understand the predicament he's in and wants to be placed on probation. I don't think the state will have any more trouble with him."
 Cunningham took no part in the actual assault of Betts. He admit ted signaling to McGee and Schus- ter as Belts left his home. The sig nal meant that the coast was clear and that Bets had considerable money on his person.
 Attorney Patrick Healey, appear ing for Cunningham, thanked Judge McEvoy and stated that he knew his client would make strenu- ous effort to justify the confidence placed in him.

 At the same time Jim Farley, as we'll as the President, is extremely anxious to ekep Rhode, Island with in the Democratic fold as far as the governorship is concerned. Rather dubious reports have been received here regarding Quinn's ability to carry the State in an off-election year - in other words, when the magic name of Roosevelt is not heading the ballot.
 They think Quinn can carry 1t if there is peace within Democratic ranks. But O'Hara, they recognize, has friends, and that's the reason for the advice for pacifism.

seems hardly likely. In some cities
it's use is quite widespread, but it
is hardly in enough general use to
have made that much difference.
Still it may have played some-
what Of a part. Analysing the
statistics Of cases that have had
the treatment. indicates that the
Sauer vaccine, properly given, pro-
tects well over 80 per cent Of those
immunized. OF 5000 children who
were thus vaccinated, 219 were
subsequently known to be exposed
to whcoping cough and only II
contracted it.
That result is, Of course, nothing
compared to the results in diph-

SUPER SLEUTH STARS 0AkIE,
 ANN S0THERN
Mystery Film Plays Tonight and Tomorrow Night at
 Capitol Theatre

How conceited but likeable movie actor who believes himself the worlds greatest amateur sleuth actually solves a series of SenSa- tional Hollywood crimes to the amazement of everyone but him self, is the basis of the thrilling mystery story, "SuperSleuth," in which Jack Oakie and Ann Soth- ern have co-starring roles, tonight and tomorrow at the Capitol Thea tre.
 Set against the professional life of the glamorous cinema capital, the -plus-drama film pre- sents Oakie as a screen star fam ous for his detective characteriza- tions, a role he confidently attempts to play off the screen, usually with hilarious results.
 When he receives word that he has been chosen as the next movie star victim by notorious Celeb rity Killer Oakie calmly lights up his calabash pipe and plans to cap ture the mysterious murderer To this end he seeks the advice of a self-styled professor of crim- nology, who operates crime museum at the beach--a role played by the renowned Eduardo Ciannelli
 Contemptuous of police assist ance Oakie plays lone hand, de- spite the warnings of the studio publicity director (Ann SothernD |, and the fact that seven attempts are made on his life.
 How Miss Sothern has Oakie jailed as safety measure, only to see him bailed out by the mad professor, and how her arrival at the beach horror" museum in a film sound-truck aids the anna teur detective to capture the crimi- nal, are events excitingly drama tised in the film, which Ben Stoloff directed for RKO Radio

BOOTBLACKS MAKE MONEY
 IN NEW YORK
Five and Ten Cent Shines Grow Into Wealth for
 Some of Bosses
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK. March 30. - Gino DiViccci, slim, olive-skinned Ital- ian from the lower East Side, be- came a bootblack in the vicinity of City Hall last week He is IA years old and wants to grow up and be- come the head of shipping com pany. Bootblacking, he believes is an excellent springboard to suc- cess if you work at it.
 Well, I think he's got something there. The Horatio Alger heroes weren't all shadow fiction. It may surprise you to know that fortunes have been made by men who wield the little flannel rag. New York, af- ter all, is vain, alf-garrulous old dude with fine airs and spends an aggregate of $400,0OO a week having it's shoes shined. He has approximat- ely 22,000 boys working for him.
 In past years the most successful shoeshine kings have been Tony Asti, who gobbled up the concession in the big office buildings, just as corporations now buy the hat check ing concessions in hotels and night clubs, and Tony Lauria Asti is dead now but in his time he was money titan and owned a string of fine race horses. Lauria was another who carved out shoeshining em- pire. He is retired now but he still has lot of the big dough.
 The current Mussolini of boot blacking is Joseph Policastro, who began his career in Brooklyn on less than $2 capital. He started out with a box slung over his shoulder and worked himself up till he had others working for him. Finally he acquir- ed the rights to a small building

CUTIE SICRID DOESN'T TELL
 OF MARRIAGE
Freakish Angle Given to Hollywood Publicity
 for Stars Sake
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 30.- Thing that's appalling about the towns recurrent minor hoaxes is the fearful amount of good rehear- sing that must go to waste in the end.
 Speaking of the glamorous Gurie, of course, latest in a goodly parade of gay deceivers, and recently re- vealed by divorce court business as Sigrid of Norway via Cucamonga, Cal.
 A girl doesn't drop couple of years from her life without some study-especially when the period includes marriage in Cucamonga. Try forgetting Cucamonga your self and see how far you get.
 But with study and rehearsal, from good script, it could be done.
 Even without script, it could tconceivably be accomplished. I like to think of blonde Sigrid assiduously olltS llAlCo llhC bllCoS.
 "Sigrid, old girl, you're a Gold Wyn discovery. You came out of Norway to take up MT. Goldwyn on his offer of a screen test, that time you met him in London. As prospective glamor girl you could not possibly have married an Ameri- can in Cucamonga, Cal, on October 4, 1895. You've been kept out of the public eye-Mr. Goldwyn's boys already have explained that for you because MT Goldwyn wanted to keep your Norwegian freshness un- touched by the Hollywood atmos- phere. Now honestly, Sigrid, have you ever heard of Cucamonga, Cal. Of course you haven't!"
 And I like to think-I hope at least-that after arduous study of her role the charming Sigrid real ly began to believe it herself.
 And come to think of it, Sigrid never deliberately deceived any, body. She never once denied, to my knowledge, that on October 4 1885, she was married in Cucamonga Cal, to an American.
 Were you, or were you not, on October 4, 1885, married in Cuca- monga to an American?" is not ex- actly a stock question with report CTS.
 Miss Gurie, despite having what is probably nice American estrang- ed husband, still is glamorous Her screen personality, as revealed in that first picture which shall here be nameless, still is intriguing, and she still must be rated a pleasant find-so pleasant that we'll refrain from labelling her anything so al- literatively apt as "Cucamonga Gu tie" which might be tough for a Norwegian exotic to live down.
