FATHER ADMITS KILLimADY. ‘LOVECHILD’ SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14 (I. N. SJ—Characterized by police as “the coldest-blooded murder In San Francisco in the past decade.” the slaying of a month old "love child,” whose throat had been cut, was revealed today by the confession of a conscience stricken 21 year-old youth, father of the child, Frank Fabian, San Francisco athlete and physical culture instructor. Fabian, booked on a murder charge, was placed in an isolated cell at city prison by Captain of Detectives Charles Dullea, who reported Fabian was “in a daze as he told his story.” Dullea or dered a heavy guard placed at the cell, fearing the youth may attempt suicide Won’t Reveal Name The mother of the baby was a young Swedish girl, Fabian told police, but he refused to reveal her name. He said: “I couldn’t stand it any longer. I was half-crazy. It was deformed. Last Saturday I went to the institution where it was born and took it home with me. I don’t remember how I killed it. PUT IN SATCHEL “I placed the baby in a zipper catcher and threw it under the house. All during the week it kept preying on my mind. I couldn’t stand it, I tell you! I couldn’t! I kept thinking the baby was right underneath me all the time. “I didn’t know what to do. Then I decided to go to Attor ney Edwin V. McKenzie. I told him.” Burglars Get $73 At Grocery Store Groceries valued at $73 were stolen by two robbers who cut a hole in a wall of a Sanitary Grocery .tore, 3100 block M St. N. W..

Whipping And Long Prison Terms Urged For Gangsters At Racket Hearing (Continued from Page 3.) industrial leaders in suppressing racketeering. Aid of NRA Sought Senator Copeland interrupted to inform Whalen he had taken the matter of industrial coopera tion with the anti-racketeering drive up with Gen. Hugh John- Bon, NRA chieftain. Daru suggested all NRA codes contain anti-racketeering provi sions. Whalen continued: 7. Expediting of prosecution for racketeering. 8. Educational anti-racketeer ing campaign. 9. Amendment of State laws to permit a vote of 10 to 2 for convictions by juries in racketeering crimes. 10. Cooperation among Fed eral, State and county prose cutors. Cost of Crme Cited Senator Copeland convened the forum with a ringing address against racketeering. He said: “Our citizens can not under stand why racketeering and kid napng appear to be on the in crease. “The cost of crime is steadily advancing. Conservative stu dents of the subject place the levy at varying amounts, even as high as $13,000,000,000 an nually. Everythng we buy, every purchased pleasure, every ser vice we employ—the payment for these is made harder because of the added tribute imposed by the underworld.” Senator Copeland declared vari ous schemes were used to coerce business men—“actually to com pel him to pay for the privilege of operating his business.” He con tinued : “Money is poured out for so called ‘protection.’ By threat of violence to person or prop- COLLEEN TO STAR AGAIN NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Colleen Moore, wide-eyed ingenue movie star of a few' years ago, may once have played flapper roles, but one would never guess it to see her today. Colleen is as sober and sensible a young matron as can be fotfnd in the vast canyon homes of Gotham. Her frocks are chic but simple, her face has charm without makeup, she shampoos her own hair, and she talks like you, or you, or you. Miss Moore, who’s now Mrs. Al Scott, quit the screen in 1929 and since then has been having herself “a time.” First she tried a continuous pound of parties m Hollywood, but tired of that and settled down on her Beverly Hills “farm.” That was great fun. she says now but. becoming restless, she went to art school and tried bar hand at sculpture.

He is com pelled to join some sort of an organization if he is to be un molested in his lawful pursuits. “Even though he may be the. unwilling victim of this vicious system, he seems obliged to con tribute if he is to keep his head above water.” Stronger Laws Needed He asserted that in the nation’s battle against racketeering, "un questionably the laws need strengthening and court procedure requires improvement.” Taking up the question of con trolling firearms, Copeland said: “Since the end of the World War we have imported into the United States more than a mil lion pistols. Almost half of that number, of domestic manufac ture, are sold annually. Should any restriction be placed on the sale of firearms? “Eighty-seven subma ch ine guns made in New York have been found in private hands in Chicago. There is no war or sporting use for a submachine gun. Why should its manufac ture and transportation be per mitted? • “Statistics show that of the homicides in the United States, firearms are responsible for 71 per cent. In England they are used in 10 per cent of slayings; in Australia, 17 per cent; in Japan, 1 per cent. Do these fig ures mean anything in forming an opinion as to what we should do about the weapons of crime? “Unless there are adequate sentences and sentences made effective, arrest will hold no ter rors. There can be no doubt that celerity in the apprehen sion of the criminal and cer tainty of immediate court ac tion, will make many an evil doer pause.” good, by her own admission, she took up music. After music came an unquench able desire to travel, so a-trav-, eline she went. It was then she | decided the only thing left was to go back to work. She’s in New York this sum mer because her husband’s du ties renuire he be there, but this fall it’s back to the silver screen for Colleen. Train Fall Injury Fatal to D. C. Man Charles B.

W., but no one at the house knew him. Relatives are j being sought. * Mulrooney emphasized the need of controlling interstate firearms shipments in the fight against crime. He said: “We have to control the man ufacture of firearms, and to do that you have to fight the fire arms lobbying interests in Con gress.” B CAPITOL LIMITED g is the cmttq N | COMPLETELY I | AMWffIUNEi)I ffl train to CHICHCpO S E NOT PRECOOLED-NOT AIR-COOLED II True Air-conditioning must incorporate MEI I Hfl the blowing actors — Oyl I X —Control of temperature Zrl —Control of humidity 5 —Control of air circulation 4 — Elimination of dirt, dust and other impurities ffl On the Capitol Limited you’ll find this ideal weather |M| condition.

An 18-year-old waitress carried out her threat to “let ’em have it.” and as a result one alleged outlaw was dead and three others 1 were in the custody of police today. The dead man was John Phillips, 23. of Cincinnati. He was shot and fatally wounded by the waitress, Rosa Buda, during a holdup of the restaurant. Miss Buda, who was born dur- | ing a barrage behind the battle lines in Germany during the World War, received a flesh wound in the arm when another member of the gang ooened fire after she had shot Phillips. The thugs succeeded in making a get-away with Phillips but they made the mistake of taking the wounded man to the same physi cian’s office where Miss Buda was taken for treatment. She recognized Philips and the police were called. Shortly afterward, Chester Allshouse. 25. surrendered to authorities and confessed that he and George Kramer, 18, and Frank Ingle, 22, took part in the holdup. Phillips died four hours after the attempted holdup. The bullet fired by Miss Buda had struck him in the chest.
