Bulldog Forced
To Use Strategy
Teams Even in Running
Attack?; Both Resort to
derer Work in the Air
By Grantland Rice
i J.EW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 28.- In the
Jitter battle of Bulldog and Bayonet
fst issue is still in doubt. At the end
??the third period the Bulldog was in
front, but the Bayonet, always the vital
"Ktor in any final charge, again came
$$mgh at the seventh wave, and left
?fce issue tied up in a true love knot at
.fen count.
So it happened that in the presence
? 77,000 spectators Yale and the Army
janclodcd their vast and brilliant sp?c?
iale to-day with a touchdown apiece
isd the final score at 7 and 7, with the
lij bowl packed and jammed to the
{?t?mate soul.
la modern warfare supremacy in the
sir must always tell the story. Land
?sc sea i?o longer count to any great
Hot. To-day two great lines, chars
itf with speed and power, completely
?nihilated all running attacks, but
vfcen the big moment crime both Yale
.nd the Army went to the air for de
tiiive results, and both made good by
two brilliant passes that carried the
balito within a short stride of the line.
For the first two periods the game
signed and gave evident signs of beitifr
?liheveled and out of tune. But in the
lut two periods both big elevens
swirled up out of the rut and kept the
|jeat crowd twisting and squirming in
?he upheaval of excitement that always
follows action and results.
Looked Even From the Start
after (hat drab and discolored first
tylf, where neither team could gain
enough ground to bury a quarterback
and where it looked as if neither ma?
chine would ever -score, Yale suddenly
?.?tea aside the ancient battering
'.?tics of the past arid became as mod
! *n is the flappcV and the latest m?r?
it? mystery.
fat the first part of the third period,
j lithe 77,000 sat under cloudless skies,
$? Blue turned over most of her at
; tek to Doc Jordan, who, from his own
| 40-yard line, began to throw his 203
I lounds against the Army forwards with
j .'mashing effect. Jordan and Whitey
I .Veale together, a great team, carried
the ball on to the Army's 88-yard line,
?nd here Neale, swinging wide, sud?
denly shot a pass to Mallory, who car?
ried the ball and a carbuncle fully as
large as the ball to the Army's 4-yard
line as the Blue stands arose en masse
with a hullabaloo that swung out
?gainst West Rock, hazy ill the fading
?untight of an autumn day.
Yale had proved that in a pinch she
eould leave the ground and go into the
air, and this play from Neale to Mal?
lory found the right flank of the Army
defense completely baffled and out of
Hilf. And still Yale adherents waited
for th?. main test that was to corns
iii covering this last four yards?a
hard ?harping, powerful Army defense
that time and again had held the Yale
charge well i. check. It was here
.. again that Yale proved her modernity.
Thohe last four yards to the goal are
fclways held by mighty barricades, but
in place of attempting an old-fashioned
battering rush the Yale forwards sud?
denly swung wide as the fleet Neale
dropped ten yards back.
This was something new, something
far different from the Iowa contest,
?nd you could sense the excitement in
tho sudden uprise of the crowded
itands.
.Veale Sweeps to Goal
Vale was no longer depending upon
the sheer, raw power of human flesh,
but at a critical moment was calling
upon strategy to pull her through.
There was every indication with
{art of the Yale line shifted well over
> the right that Neale was on his
*ay to a dasl} around the Army flank.
A? the ball was pawed Neale feinted
fir toward the end ?f the line, but as
4? Army tackle w.*s boxed he sud
"taily cut in just outidiio of tackle and
wept across the goal, wherein both
deception and speed lifted the Blue
?rito the lead.
This score looked to be quite enough
*? win, and so no one could discount
>*e cheering jubilation in the Yale
??tor of the big field. Yale had not
Wf scored, but she had scored by
i'ijh grade strategy as well as organ
'?. skill on two spectacular plays
'hit had crossed no man's land in two
*wift, desperate thrusts. That lone
"tore looked to bo quite enough for
*j?* day's job. Judging the scene by
?Jw fine power and enduring despera?
tion of both defenses, it looked like a

Scheme to Rob Bank
Round-World Plot
Charged to Three
N. Y. Office of Concern
Says $110,000 of Al?
leged Loot Is Recovered
Henry Werblow, acting manager of
the Peking branch of tho Asia Banking
Corporation, was arrested upon his re?
turn from China yesterday on a charge
of grand larceny in connection with an
alleged attempt to defraud banks out
of $139,000 by means of forged cable?
grams. His brother, RobcYt, was also
taken into custody on a similar charge.
Another brother, Isaac, is also said to
have been involved in the scheme and
is being sought by the authorities.
A statement issued by the Guaranty
Trust Company, the bank mostly con?
cerned in the alleged fraud, said that
$110,000 of the $139,000 lost through
the forgery had been recovered, and
that it was believed, the remainder
would also be recovered.
Henry and Robert live at 7G3 Park
Place, Brooklyn. Robert was a former
employee of the Chase National Bank.
They were taken to Police Headquar?
ters-after their arrest and will prob?
ably be arraigned in the Tombs court
to-'morrow morning. ?
The attempted larceny was discov?
ered, says the Guaranty Trust Com?
pany statement, following the recci. t,
last July at the London office of the
Guaranty Trust Company, a cablegram
purporting to come from the Hankow
branch of the Asia Banking Corpora
Ition. The case was laid before District
Attorney Benson and presented to the
grand jury a few days ago by Assistant
? District Attorney Harold W. Hastings.
! Extended Round the World
f Mr. Hastings, in disclosing some de
! tails on the operation oi. the alleged,
j scheme, said that Robert acted as a
j sort of general in the matter, remain
j ing in this city, while Isaac went to
| London and Henry was in the Peking
? office of the Asia Banking Corporation.
I Isaac, he said, went to London, retire
i senting himself as Max Elliot, and had
a draft made out to himself in this
i city under that name for identification
i purposes.
Henry, according to the charge,
started the ball rolling by obtaining
possession of the bunkers' code as a
bank employee, and sending a good
order from Pekin to the London office
of the Guaranty Trust Company re?
questing the latter firm to pay to Max
Elliott ?300. Attached to this order
was what the authorities regard as a
"come on" paragraph designed to im?
press and induce trie Guaranty Trust
Company to honor further and larger
drafts.
This paragraph read, ..aid Mr. Hast?
ings, as follows: "Wu Chang govern?
ment have given us contract for bridge.
Thirty per cent to be paid within few
days."
The next two cablegrams received at,
the London office, of the Guaranty
Trust Company were forgeries, say
the authorities, and ordered the pay?
ment of ?2,600 and ?6,000 to Max El?
liot. This amounted in all to about
$139,000, The institutions involved say
they are insured against all losses by
such means if any loss actually results.
They expect, however, to recover all
the money lost through the scheme.
Dr. Charles A. Holder, president of
the Asia Banking Corporation, also ap?
pears in the charges against the men
na one of the complainants.
Henry is about twenty-nine years old
and Robert is twenty-eight. Both men
are single. Detective Bernard J.
Flood, connected with the District at?
torney's office, assisted by Joseph M.
Nye, executive assistant of the Guar?
anty Trust Company, picked up
Henry's trail as he landed at the Penn?
sylvania Station from Seattle about 2
p. m. yesterday afternoon.
They followed him to the Park Place
address and placed him under arrest.
Robert was found in a restaurant at
112 West Forty-fourth Street about
two hours later and also taken into
custody.
Commenting on the arrests, District
Attorney Banton said last night:
"While the scheme used in this in?
stance was most ingenious, it affords
another striking example of the in?
creasing futility of bank employees
trying to defraud or rob their banks.
It is to be hoped that those employees
of financial institutions who are tempt?
ed to commit such crimes?and for?
tunately they are comparatively few in
number?will realize that it is next
to impossible to succeed, regardless
of how clever they may think them?
selves."

NEW BRUNSWICK, K. J.. Oct. 28.
It became apparent to-night that Mr?
Edward Wheeler Hall, widow of th
murdered clergyman, was given the df
tails of Mrs. Jane Gibson's story soo
after she made her affidavit, when
friend of the family told what her r<
action had been when she was show
the charges made by the woman wli
has offered herself as an eye-witnei
of the murder.
"'What is there that I can say?'
this friend quoted the widow as sayir
as she put down the paper. " 'I wasn
there. I know I wasn't there, but th*
probably won't believe me.' "
The same person declared that Ml
Hall still stoutly believes in her hu
band, and keeps saying again ai
again: "If Edward were only here 1
would have some satisfactory explan
I tion of everything, including those It
j ters." Again, the friend said, she bro
out almost passionately, crying:
have been a figure in this communi.
I have tried to be honest and honor
ble. Does a person's past count f
nothing?"
Passes Hours in Study
To this intimate she seemed a p
thetic figure, tired, resting late, a
then passing her mornings in the r?
tor's study, where she can find arou
her the homelike things which will i
mind her of her husband. Mr. Pfeifi
said of her to-night that no one coi
bo as natural as she is with any seci
preying on her conscience.
Apparently both the dead recto
family and hers are convinced that s
was in no wise connected with t
double killing. Reporters were t.
that Mrs. Francis Vorhees, of 85 Gr
fith Street, Jersey City, and Mrs. Pi
Bonner, of 827 Park Avenue, sisti
of the murdered man, have impli
faith in his widow and have called
her frequently in the last two wee
And Edwin Carpcnder, Mrs. Hai
cousin, scouted the idea that she I
suspected the clergyman and the si
ton s wife by saying that there is '
use trying to convince Frances tl
Edward was not a saint."
A half dozen relatives and friei
dropped in at the Hall home this aft
noon for tea. The impression at fi
prevailed that they had gathered fo
conference, presumably over Mrs. G
son's story, but this rumor Mrs. Ha
attorney, Timothy N. Pfeiffer, went
of his way to discredit. He admit
that one of tho guests, Mrs. Sidi
Carpender, had brought some inforr
tion which he thought might prove
value, but added that he had shoi
disposed of her suggestion. The oth
who called included Mr. and Mrs. M
cure Carpender, Mrs. Edwin Carpen
I and Mrs, Sallie Peters.
Dt>ubt the Gibson Story
At the close of the talk the law
I admitted that he had men at w
looking for clews, but denied that
? had found anything of sufficient \s
| to warrant "turning over to
i prosecution.
The credibility as a witness of ?
Gibson became a point of interest
the case to-day. Guarded by a si
trooper, the woman who says she
on the back of a mule and silei
watched the cold-blooded killing
Hall and his choir singer-sweethe
Mrs. Eleanor Mills, kept herself
semi-seclusion on her sixty-acre fa
where she raises pigs.
Prosecutor Joseph Strieker of I
dlesex County himself attacked
credibility of Mrs. Gibson, altho
probably unwittingly, when he
that, no one in his office has ever
fused to listen to her story. Mrs. ?
son told' newspaper reporters
Wednesday night at her farm that
had tried "again and again" to i
phone her story to the officials at
courthouse here.
At least two persons were found
day who are prepared to tell
encounters with this unusual chara
that have prejudiced them against
story she might tell.
One of these is Joseph G. Baer
instructor in chemistry in the S
vesant ' High School, New York,
said that his eldest boy, fifteen y
old, was.a classmate of Mrs. Gibt
son at the public school in Hami
Road, about a mile from Mrs. Gibs
farm.
"My boy tells me that his nam
William Eastman," said Mr, I
"He is about twenty-one and is n
older than any of the other boy
his class. Around here we call
Gibson 'Gypsy Mary.' "
At Odds With Neighbor?
Naturally there is a certain am
of feeling against Mrs. Gibson on
part of her neighbors because the.
sent the constant cartage of garl
which she feeds to the pigs, into
community. Mrs. Gibson has an e?
ly strong feeling of contempt foi
neighbors because, she says, a 1?
foreigners live near her and ma
living stealing from her.
Aside from that, Mrs. Gibson ht
times displayed a positive genius

Election Frauds
From Juries
Declares Special Deputy At?
torney General Gilbert
Has No Right to Ask
for Indictments Here
-
Alleged Promise Broken
Investigator Says Many In?
spectors Ignore Assist?
ance Provision of Law
District Attorney Banton announced |
last night that A. S. Gilbert, special j
Deputy Attorney General in charge of \
the work of preventing Tammany elec- j
tion thieves from stealing the election, j
had no right to go before any of the
local grand juries to ask indictments. I
Ten minutes before Mr. Banton let !
it be known that he did not believe Mr. I
Gilbert had the right to go before a |
grand jury the special Deputy Attorney
General said that he had made all ar- j
rangements with Mr. Banton to pre- ?
sent cases of illegal and fraudulent
registration and other forms of elec?
tion thievery before one of Mr. Ban
ton'3 grand juries, and that he would
begin to do so early to-morrow morn?
ing, as soon as one of the grand juries
convened.
This, Mr. Gilbert said, had been ar?
ranged during the afternoon at a con?
ference attended by Mr. Banton and
? Assistant District Attorney Ferdinand
| Pecorr. on one side, and Mr. Gilbert
I and his two chief aids, William Pel?
' let and William Dean Embree.
Says Co-operation Was Offered
"Mr. Banton and Mr. P?cora," said
Mr. Gilbert, "tendered Mr. Pellet, Mr. !
Embree and myself all the facilities
of their office so far as they may be
required,, as well as their full co-opera
tion generally."
Mr. Gilbert could not be reached !
| after he left the officeJast night, but j
! ho will be at his desk this morning, i
I Considerable,, speculation was aroused j
i as to what caused District Attorney i
j Banton to change his mind. \
Mr. Banton said last night, in com- |
menting on the misunderstanding; j
"I've reached a rather fixed conclu- J
sion, and to my mind he [Mr. Gilbert] '
has no right to appear before one of
our grand juries."
Advises Albany
Mr. Banton made public a telegram
he sent last night to Attorney General ''.
Newton at Albany. It read:
"Special Deputy Attorney General !
Gilbert insists on presenting cases of
alleged frauds in*registration to grand
jury empanelled in General Session--,
New York County. Have advised Mr.
Gilbert that he has no right to appear
before a grand jury in this country, and
that indictments obtained as a result
of evidence presented by him may be !
invalid, and also have advised him that !
I would act if requested by him. I :
advise you of this situation so that re?
sponsibility may rest with your office
for obtaining invalid indictments.
Policy of this office, where defendants
and witnesses are in the county, is to
present complaints of this kind to the
magistrates' court. This was pursued
as a result of certain Ssaudn revealed
in election last .\ear. Defendants were ]
held and since have been indicted." i
At six o'clock last night Mr. Gilbert, I
before leaving his office, informed The |
Tribune representative that he would j
be oble to obtain indictments on Mori
day. He had at that time seemingly
no information from District Attorney
Banton that there was a clash of.
opinion. .
In discussing the day's work he said: l
Evidence of Fraud
"I have had a number of inspectors
of election before me to-day for exami?
nation. In every instance in which I
have examined inspectors, I find that
they utterly have ignored the provls- j
ions of the Election Law affecting
claims for assistance. In the seventh
election district of the 4th Assembly ;
District more than seventy persons are
marked as claiming assistance. Some
of them were first voters. In most j
instances the claim for assistance was
upon the ground that the voter did not |
know how to prepare the ballot. There

ALBANY, Oct. 28.?Sweeping charges
of wholesale graft and corruption in
the Industrial Commission during the
administration of former Governor
Smith, attributable to the laxity of an
official who was continued in office for
tlrrtcen months after the matter had
jeen called to Mr, Smith's attention by
an official investigator, were made to?
night by Governor Miller.
The report telling of the irregulari?
ties in the commission's investigation,
upon which Governor Miller based his
accusation, was made in November,
1919, by Jeremiah F. Connor, a lawyer
of New York City, who was later ap?
pointed private secretary to Governor
Smith. Mr. Connor's report was sub?
mitted to Governor Smith on November
17, 1919. Thomas J. Curtis, the man
whose administration was held respon?
sible for the "cheating," as Governor
Miller characterized it, that had taken
place in the commission, was still in
office as Deputy Commissioner in Jan?
uary, 1921, when the present adminis- I
tration came into office. Curtis was re- I
moved by Governor Miller and later i
submitted a report to the State Fed- I
oration of Labor declaring that Gov- ]
ernor Miller had wrecked the Indus?
trial Commission.
Answers Smith's Attacks'
To-night's slashing attack on the in?
tegrity of the Smith administration,
the first ,of the campaign, came, the j
Governor indicated, as the result of i
Mr. Smith's persistent charges during I
the past three weeks that Governor |
Miller, as a tool of the interests, had i
emasculated the workmen's compensa?
tion act and damaged the enforcement
of the labor laws by cutting down the
appropriations fojj the Industrial Com?
mission. Mr. Smith's accusations, the
Governor declared, have Jjeen based en?
tirely on the Curtis report to the Fed?
eration of Labor just referred to.
"This is the record of the lowest,
the meanest, the most contemptible and
the most despicable species of graft
ever disclosed, graft and extortion
practiced upon the unfortunate victims
0*f industrial accidents," said the Gov?
ernor. "It is graft and extortion rob?
bing these victims of the compensa?
tion, little enough at best, to enable
them to take care of themselves in
their maimed, disabled and crippl-jd
conditions."
"To-night I wish finally to dispose
of the charges that we have destroyed
the labor laws from testimony that
our adversaries must accept, because
they gathered it. I wish to show from
the testimony of the man appointed i
by my predecessor to investigate the '
workmen's compensation law why I j
recommended and why the Legislature i
provided for a reorganization of the
Industrial Commission, and I shall |
also prove that we have done wh$t
needed to be done, which remained un?
done throughout the balance of my
predecessor's term after receiving the
report of his investigator.
"This is the record, not alone of
graft and criminality but of gross in
efficieicy in the administration of the I
workmen's compensation law. And the j
thing that my predecessor in office, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, I
boasts that he did as the result of that '
in-iet-tigation was to have repealed cno
direct settlement plan, with respect to j
which none of these evidences of graft !
and entortion and of favoritism to in- j
surance companies and other corpora- j
tuns had any relation whatever, how- ;
?ver bad that may have been. He
thinks that the great achievement of
his administration for the injured
working men and women was the abo
Htion of the direct settlement provi
sicn, and is nightly boasting or that
accomplishment and untruthfully
charging me with having undone it."
Head of System Retained
"This record makes my blood boil, as |
it must make your bloo-i boil to hear it
read, and yet the head of that system
of graft and corruption and favoritism ,
to insurance carriers remained a Dep- j
uty Commissioner through the remain?
der of the year 1919 and through the
remainder of the year 1920, and until j
it was possible, under an act of the
Legislature, for me to reorganize that j
commission. But he remained there ;
after that reorganization was effected j
not one moment longer than was nec?
essary to put him out.
"In the face of that record I am
charged with destroying the admin- j
istration of the law because I cut out
the grafters, the miserable, low, mean, |
contemptible, despicable grafters who !
were living upon the poor unfortunate
workers whom they professed to serve, |
and feeding also at the public crib." i
Governor Miller then turned to the
Connor report to Governor Smith and
read to the audience the excerpts which
summed up the conditions in the Indus?
trial Commlss.?;: *vhich the investiga- ;
tion had disclosed.
"Along almost every line of inquiry, ;

Negative Policy and Plea

GLASGOW, Oct. 28.?Bristling with
self-confidence and pugnacity, Lloyd
George this afternoon treated Glasgow
I to a sample of Viis best fighting ora?
tory. Of his own election program
he spoke little, but ho is evidently
aiming at gathering the moderates of
all parties about his standard in oppo
| sition to labor.
In pourinjr out his scorn on Bonar
Law's "negative policy," however, he
found a happy positive theme for most
of his speech. He worried and har
I ried the new Premier's Thursday pro?
nouncement here as a terrier does a
rat, he stripped and flayed it, find?
ing in the appreciative roars of the
audience inspiration for ever fresh
invective. With a wonderful ploy of
features and a wealth of gesticulation
and mimicry, Lloyd George ran along
the whole gamut of his audience's
emotions?now taking the crowd into
his confidence, bending forward confi?
dentially toward them,, again -Tossing
his lees, leaning on the pulpit and
leering sardonically as he held the
Conservatives up to scorn.
Finds Attack Best Tactics
As at Leeds a week ago he devoted
much time to defending the Coalition's
record. It was in reference to his op?
ponents, however, that he found his
best tack here.
"I've heard Bonar Law's explanation
of why the Coalition was wrecked," he
said, "and I now am more baffled than
ever. None of those who remain in the
Cabinet ever rendered conspicuous
service-to the nations. The ablest and
best minds in the country are absent.
What remains? A negative attitude, a
'quiet life' Cabinet. The secretariat
goes out of Whitehall Gardens into
the Treasury Chambers, six are driven
out in order to put Sir Maurice Hankey
in a moving van and carry him across
the street. For the lost .it is ?ike a
household wherein the ?btest and best
servants have been dismissed and their
places filled by promotiors from the
kitchen. Look at these new ministers!
Only four major offices have been filled
anfl, ***elieve me, you don't know the
worst yet. If they had anything even
as good as names to announce they
would have featured their prospectus
on the front page? of the newspapers.
Some people don't like brains. They're
afraid they'll go off."
While Sir Robert Home, on Lloyd
George's left* leaned "oapk and picked
his teeth, and Lord Birkenhead, on his
right, stared impassively ahead, the
former Premier, taking a simile from
the ancient Scottish game of golf, con?
tinued:
Uses Golfing Figure
"They say I'm pood with the niblick,
excellent at getting out of the rough,
but too energetic on the greens. They
want some one with a feebler stroke."
He paused and winked at his audience.
Then?"It isn't for me to say whether
they've got him."
Several times Lloyd George essayed
references to the danger of Socialism, j
adducing Glasgow's unemployment sit- !
uation as an example. But here he did i

Honduras Dignitary Ignores
Traffic Rules and Three Po?
licemen Subdue Him
Guillano Debustillo, chancellor to tl.9
Consul of Honduras, got along very
well without knowing much about New
York City traffic regulations until he
encountered Patrolman Michael Curry,
of Traffic B. Curry is of the opinion
that everybody who drives a car ought
to know everything about the city's
traffic regulations, not excepting th*
chancellor to the Consul of Honduras
and the chancellor's wife.
It was last night that the chancello?
and his wife met Patrolman Curry near
the Quensboro Bridge entrance. The
Debustillos, in a car that Mrs. De?
bustillo was driving, overran a stop
signal, Curry said, and their car began
moving through a traffic tangle toward
the bridge.
Curry blew threw times on his
whistle. When the car failed to stop
he gave chase and stopped it. Argu?
ment followed. Debustillo refused to
accept a summons, refused to allow
Mrs. Debustillo to accept one, refused
to get out of the car to be arrested?in
! fact, refused to do anything, sail
? Curry.
Curry got the assistance of two other
policemen and several civilians and the
chancellor to the Consul of Honduras
after puting up a fight, aided by his
wife, was handcuffed.
The chancellor was fined $10.

PARIS, Oct. 28.?Count Sforza,
Italian Ambassador to France, ac?
cording to an Italian diplomatic
official, to-day asked the Allied gov?
ernments to intervene in the Italian
crisis and prevent the Fascisti from
taking the executive power into thelc
hands.
The French government is under?
?stood to sympathize with the idea
since, at the coming Lausanne con?
ference, it would piefer meeting rep?
resentatives from Italy who ara
more experienced in Near Eastern
affairs than the youthful Fascisti
leaders.
Count Sforza asked Premier Poincar?
to bring pressure to bear on Rome for
the formation of a new government
which will accord the Fascisti repre?
sentation, but which will be headed
by a strong political figure, such as
Giolitti or Orlando.
Fascisti Control Dreaded
' If the reactionary revolutionists as?
sume power, Count Sforza said, they
would create havoc with international
relations as a result of their inexperi?
ence in diplomacy. Their first move,
he asserted, would be to cancel all ex?
isting agreements with Jugo-Slavia
regarding the shores of the Adriatic
and to refuse to evacuate Dalmatia,
which Italy occupied up to the time
of the break-up of the Austrian Em?
pire prior to the actual formation of
Jugo-Slavia. This territory has been
a notably sore spot since the armistice
and once necessitated the presence of
American warships to prevent War be?
tween Italy and Serbia.
The Fascisti also are prepared to de?
mand substantial mandates over for?
mer Turkish provinces in the Nea*"
East, and they oppose the existing
French and British mandate?. They
also claim a large zone of influence in
Asia Minor, which, they say, is neces?
sary to Italy's very existence as a
source of food and an outlet for ex?
cess population. The ceding of the
part of Syria they demand, however,
would be in direct opposition to French
interests.

ROME, Oct. 28.~-Martial law was
proclaimed throughout Italy at noon
I to-day as a result of the Fascisti np
' rising in the northern districts and
their threatened march on Rome. Two
hours later, however, the proclamation
was rescinded because of an "improve**
ment in the situation."
The only, possible explanation of thif )
statement, in view of the evident ar|
actual gravity of the situation, is th?*f
the government has surrendered to th?
Fascisti threat, and is handing over
the power to them as the solo mear?/
of averting civil war.
Italy's man of the hour. Benita Mus?
solini, the Fascisti chief, is hurrying
toward Rome on the urgent invitation
of Premier Facta, and he is expected
to take control of the situation.
Fascisti Hold Northern Cities
News from the provinces is difficult
to obtain because of the cutting of th?s
wire3 between central, southern and
northern Italy, but it is clear that th?
Fascisti' are masters of some of the
most important towns of the north.
The Fascisti uprising, which was staged
about midnight by concerted action,
centered in the Province of Tuscany,
whence the insurgents threatened to
march on the capstal by way of Pisa
and Leghorn. There was a clash be*
tween Fascisti and the police further
north in Lombard;,*, where at Cremona
four Fascisti were killed. At meat
places, however, the Fascisti seem to
have been able to seize control without
fighting local troops or the police, who
were either overawed or?what seems
likelier in the majority of cases?sided
with the insurgents.
Carabinieri started to offer resistance
at Florence, but here the Fascisti suc?
ceeded in occupying the postoffice. At
Siena they have taken possession of
the barracks, apparently with the con?
nivance of government forces, since no
fighting is reported from there. A
state of siege exists at Milan, whero
the prefect handed over the powers to
the military authorities, and all public
buildings are now guarded against pos?
sible Fascisti attacks.
Cabinet in Alt Night Session
The Cabinet sat all night long, 're?
ceiving reports from the provinces,
and instructions were issued that all
necessary measures be taken.
The resignations of Premier Facts**
colleagues have not yet taken effect.
This morning's proclamation was
signed by all the ministers. It statf*d
that "in the face of the insurrectionary
movement, it is the government's duty
to maintain public order by all means
and at all cbsts."
The Fascisti declare that, whatever
happens, they are determined the con?
stitutional institutions of Italy shall
be respected. Premier Facta is cred?
ited with the statement that "not only
Democrats and members of the Popu?
lar party desire peace, but.the Fascisti
themselves are anxious for a govern?
ment which shall guarantee a peace?
ful future to the country." According
to a leading Fascisti deputy, that or?
ganization will implicitly obey its
leader;).
King Returns Hastily
There was a panic on the Stock Ex?
change yesterday, due to the rush to .
realise securities and order the trans?
fer of money out of the kingdom, but
the financial situation was easier when
the market closed. The Premier? has
decided not to gee the King, who made
a hasty return to the capital from San
Riisaore, until after ht? raWti^g *?..'*.
