WATCHES ITALY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—An at
mosphere of uncertainty was thrown
today about the Administration's
policy with regard to the Genoa eco
nomic conference, scheduled to meet
in less than four weeks to attempt
the commercial and financial stabili
zation of strife-ridden Europe.
Twice the White House has been on
the verge of announcing this Govern
tnent's reply to the Invitation from the
Italian government and twice the an
h.ouncement has been held up at the
tieventh hour. *
While in neither case has there been
any official explanation forthcoming as
to the cause for the delay, Indications
point to a belief and desire on the part
of this Government that the Italian gov- ;
eminent will t’self withdraw the In
vitations, thus saving Washington from
the embarrassing duty of declining to
participate
The reply has been drafted, but it had
not been sent up to last night. It will
go direct to the American Embassy in
Home for presentation to the Italian gov
ernment by Ambassador Child, if it goes
at all.
According to authoritative information
the American reply informs the Italian
government that under present circum
stances the United States regretfully finds
Itseif unable to participate in the parley
by diplomatic observers. It politely as
sures the Italian government that the
United States is deeply interested in the i
conference and has every wish for its
complete success, but, etc., etc.,”
Some surprise is plainly manifested in j
official quarters that the Italian govern- j
tnent already has not called in the invi- j
tations, in view of the Italian poiitical i
Situation and in view of the obvious re- j
luctance of France and the United States !
to participate in an economic gathering j
at this time. The reply from Washing- i
ton has been held up longer than usual |
In the confident expectation that s
Withdrawal would be forthcoming any
day.
ITALY AWAITS
U. S. REPLY
ROME. Feb. 11—The foreign office is
nnxiously awaiting a reply from Wash- !
ington to the invitation to participate in j
the international economic conference at
Genoa. While no communication has
been received, officials declared today
they expected to hear from the American
State Dpartment within forty-eight
hours.
Italian officials attach no credence to
reports from I’aris that Myron T. Her
rick, the American ambassador to France,
and George Harvey, American ambassa
dor to Great Britain, may be appointed ,
observers at the meeting to recall the
discussions back to Washington. Italy
expects that America will either partici
pate actively in the meeting or else re
frain from representation entirely.
Italy's political situation makes it
doubly difficult for her to deal with
conference matters. Premier Bonomi has
consented to retain office with his old
cabinet, but next Thursday he must face
the chamber of deputies on the ques
tion of general policy. If the chamber
votes lack of confidence in the Bonomi
ministry It will be withdrawn, which
wiil leave Italy without a government
once again.
With Premier Bonomi and his col
leagues out of p*wer. Italy would lack
the necessary government machinery to
carry on negotiations relative to the con
ference. Under officials in the foreign
office are handling details and minor
matters regarding the conference, but
they have not the authority to say
whether or not the opening shall be
postponed.

'Bucketshop Ring ’ Sift
Is Ordered to Protect
Thousands of Investors
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—State and county .
officers and officials of the New York
Stock Exchange today announced they
had begun a fight to the finish to save the
investments of thousands of men and wo
men in Wall street ‘'bucketshop rings,"
within the last few weeks.
Twenty-five brokerage firms, the ma
jority of the members of the ring, went
to tlie wall within the last two mouths
after being caught in the rising market.
It is estimated the total liabilities of
these shops will be more than $25,000,000
and only one of that number is expected
to pay as much as fifty cents on the dol
lar to its creditors.
The grand Jury now In session is ex
pected to return indictments against sev
eral prominent firms active in soliciting
business by mail and the long-distan'ce
telephone from investors in every vicinity
in this country.
The ‘‘bucketshop ring” has become so
bragen Seymour L. Cromwell, president
of the New Y'ork Stock Exchange, has is
sued a warning to all members that
bucketing operations will not be toler
ated.
A committee of Stock Exchange mem
bers, alarmed at the widespread activity
and boldness of the “bucketshop ring,” is
preparing a report that will be submit
ted to the main group within the next
week, it is believed. This report. It is
learned, will advocate all exchange firms
be required to make statements at regu
lar Intervals, similar to those required
of banks, showing their financial condi
' tion and scope of operations.
While the Stock Exchange officials have
been frying quietly to sort the go,ats
from the sheep within the exchange
walls, the offices of the district attorney
and the Attorney General of the State
have been besieged by persons with hard
luck tales of loss incurred In “The
Street” within th£ last fortnight.
Frederick R. Rich, assistant Attorney-
General, appointed by Attorney-General
Charles I>. Newton to handle the hun
dreds of complaints that have been made
to that office by resident of other State,
declares some brokerage houses were
under surveillance because of anew
form of swindling more highly lucrative

get over to the American people. I
don’t believe In militarism, but I do be
lieve in war experimentation.”
‘‘Now don’t get me wrong,” he warned,
raising his hands in an explanatory
gesture. “What I mean by experimen
tation is that this nation should bend j
every energy to discover new agencies
of warfare.
“The next war will be fought with gas
We must continue our experiments in
poisonous gases and we must try ~o
turn out better and bigger guns. Not
many of each bind, just one or two. Then :
we will be up to all the deviltry there
and if another nation wants to try
something, well, we're ready.”
Turning from war to business, the
world's master inventor said he was cer- !
tain business is on the upward trend. j
• I've been through five depress'ons. !
Fm not worrying. But we have got to
make some adjustments, for instance, in
the fi> ld of wages. In some cases wages
are too high and in others too low. Com
mon labor isn't paid enough in sob .
i places. That’s not right. Some men are
holding wages down because they have
the power.”
‘‘What greim of workers are receiving
toe much ” he was asked.
I “Now, y<. iow the answer as well as
| I do,” he laughed. “You know it and !
the country knows It.”
“America is not in the proper condi
tion to pay a soldier ‘bonus' now,” he
continued. "It's the wrong time, we j
should wait a little while. Then wo can
! pay them more money,” he added quickly j
j with a smile.
j He believes this country should post- '
pone their refunding of debts of our
creditor nations until times are better.
"Y'ou don't get blood from a stone,”
he said with a snap of the jaw. “We
can wait and they'll be there ready to
pay.”
Prohibition, he said, should be drastic
enough to 'prevent any person any
where from obtaining any booze whatso
ever.
"Was your questionnaire that stumped
so many college professoT'g a success!'"
he was asked.
| “It was a success to me,” be answered
j smiling. “About 1,200 tried to pass it.
! I’ve got sixty men here who passed it, all
I college me, too. I'm going to use it in
| the future wherever we take on more
i men. The plumbers will have to pass
| similar tests.”
There was general misunderstanding
lof that test, he elaborated. It was de
signed purely to see how much general
knowledge the applicant possessed.
"They could have known the answers
from having read the newspapers,” he
I said, “but people don't read the news*
j papers as they should.”
HARDING SENDS
CONGRATULATIONS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—President
Harding sent the following letter of con
gratulation to Thomas A. Edison on the
occasion of the electrical wizard's 751 h
birthday today:
“My dear Mr. Edison:
“.Senator Frelinghuysen has reminded
me of the fact that you are to celebrate
your 75th birthday anniversary Feb. It
and I am taking this occasion to send you
my congratulations and very best wishes.
I hope you will have many more years of
happy service to the world at large, such
as you have so generously given in the
| past.
“Very sincerely.
“WARREN G. HARDING.”

GERMANS PA Y
j GREAT TRIBUTE
j BERLIN. Feb. 11.—German.newspapers,
' educators and scientific bodies today
paid tribute to Thomas A.' Edison, the
American inventor, upon the occasion of
Mr. Edison’s seventy-fifth birthday.
"The Wizard of Menlo Park” was the
head line 'used over a eulogy printed by
the Vossische Zeitung.
“If Mr. Edison had invented only the
electric lamp, he would deserve first
place in the Pantheon of Electro-Tech
nics,” said this newspaper. ‘‘But to
enumerate his full achievements would
mean writing a history of science. We
will forget the unpleasant things Mr.
Edison said about the Germans in war
time because we estimate the man and
not bis words. Sir. Edison by his
achievements and inventions will lead
mankind into a better future."
HENRY FORD'S
MESSAGE ■
\I) K 'Bft CIT TANARUS,, Mir 15, Fob. 11. Henry Ford
•\ • :h? following message of con
■to the crook than plain bucketing of
brokerage orders. This is the “cold tur
key” game, as it is called in Wall
street. It is an outgrowth of the war
days when more than 20,000,000 persons
purchased Government bonds valued at
$25,000,000,000, creating an entirely new
class of investors. /
Many of these new security holders had
invested most .of their savings as *the
Government directed. In many instances
they sold real estate to answer the “call
to the colors.” After the armistice they
i were warned by their hometown bankers
' and by the Government itself to beware
j of persons wishing to defraud them of
their holdings.
j Then stepped in the crooked Wall street
broker, playing the ‘‘cold turkey game.”
,By devious means, he learned of the
! holdings of people in Chicago, Nashville,
Waco and other cities. Picking out a
prospect, he steps into the long distance
telephone booth, gets the former on the
j wire, and, after giving his imposing firm
name and “Wall street" address, says:
“I have a customer who wants so many
lots of such and such a bond issue. I can
get you a price slightly above the mar
ket."
The securities are dispatched to Wall
street. A formal receipt Is given and
than the broker telephones his client has
changed his mind and wishes ro buy a
certain oil stock. The broker will sell
the bonds and buy i the oil stock and
make a large profit fori the original custo
mer io-jfalatnazoo, If the latter says the
word. The latter does —and rhen tTie
broker, a day later, telephones his cli
ent has backed out—but I am sending
you the oil stock by registered mail.”
Rich says he has received complaints
from investors in Chicago and other
cities who tell stories of being defrauded
over the long distance telephone by
chooked brokers who pictured to
them the opportunity to make money by
entrusting it to a ‘legitimate” firm.
“Before you send your securities to
Wall street, consult your home town
banker,” is the advice Itich gives to
security holders In every State who wish
to get rich quickly.”
gratulations to Thomns A. Edison upon
his seventy-fifth birthday:
“Please accept my henrty coagrutula
: tions on your seventy-fifth birthday. At
| that age most men’s work is done, Y'ours
!is Just beginning. The world needs to
j be shown the way out of its confusion
and you can greatly help.”
MYSTERIOUS""
STRANGER IS
NOW SOUGHT
(Contlnned From Page One.)
the district attorney's office Is convinced.
With these three leads, the district at
torney's office has launched an attempt j
to sustain the theory the murder was
committed by order of the wealthy East
erner. jea'ons of an actress.
Facts regarding three other suspects
have been shelved temporarily and all
efforts are being concentrated upon evi
denee that will convict or exonerate the
man in question.
Minor leads tending to confuse the case
’ are rapidly being cleared away as the
district attorney's concentrated investi
gation proceeds. Mabel Normand, flint j
actress whose name has been most prom- I
in >n>. in the case, again was questioned j
ty District Attorney Woolwine. and a :
■ traightforward story of her visit to
Taylor's home, to get a boo!:, on the eve
j ning of the tragedy, of their talk of lit
i ernture and the film world and of his
i last farewell, was unfolded by the
trict attorney was satisfied with Miss :
Norland's statement. He has rend her
' letters and announced they will not be
made jc bile; unless it can be proveif
they have a direct bearing on the case.
| Miss Normand herself, reported on the I
verge of a nervous breakdown yesterday, j
underwent her examination at the hands
iof the district attorney bravely and to- I
day was again in retiremenUat her Holly
wood home, looking very worn and pale
after the long ordeal.
' In repeated statements the actress dis
-1 claimed any knowledge of possible mo
i tives for the slaying. A certain director,
j however, known to have been Taylor's
S rival for her affections some time prev
j lons may be questioned again as a re
j suit of what she told the district attor
■ ney. A fresh development which led the
i investigators straight, they believe to
the trail of the actual slayer, was the
I testimony of a nurse whose name is
withheld.
This woman told the district attorney
she was passing along Alvarado street,
on which Taylor’s house was located,
about 7:30 p. m., Feb. 1, and saw the di
rector and Mabel Norman conversing at
the curb.
A abort distance down the street she
saw the ninu believed now to be the
murderer, the mysterious black muffled
figure with the low-drawn cap and up
turned collar —the man who, a few min
utes later, was to shoot down In cold
blood the helpless director, lurking be
hind a clump of bushes.
She saw and passed on without a fur
ther thought. A few minutes later Wil
liam D. Taylor lay dead.
This man. the nurse fold the district
attorney's investigator did not resemble
descriptions of Edward F. Sands whieb
were read to her. Her description of him
tallies with that furnished by Mrs.
Douglas McLean of the man seen leaving
Taylor's residence.
She could identify the man, she de
clares, if she saw him again.
The nurse, whose story has done more
than anything else to convince the po
lice she and Mrs. McLean both saw the
actual assassin, kept quiet since the
tragedy, she said, ‘‘because she didn't
know it was important."
This man, who shot from behind his
victim, as the latter stood with upraised
arms, can be traced, investigators said.
They will get him and when they have
him, the actual slayer will be known
they say.
A long day of questioning movie folk
acquaintances of Taylor, and those who
knew of ids friendships with prominent
women in the case, led the District Attor
ney and his assistants straight to their
theory of jealousy as the rry6tive for the
crime.
The blackmail theory was shelved for
the time, when it was shown Taylor
probably drew the funds from his bank
shortly before his death for the purpose
of buying jewelry for a certain actress
in the case.
The fact disclosed by testimony reiter
ated in the confines of the chief investi
gator's private office Taylor recently had
been considered as interfering in certain
love affairs of the motion picture world
here, strengthened the investigators be
-1 of a young man, maddened by jeoionsy,
plotted his dea'h.
The death of Taylor has thrown such a
cloud of gloom over the film world here
that three well-known companies which
ordinarily would be working, with three
or four hundred actors and actresses “on
the lot,” temporarily have suspended
making pictures.

Beveridge Manager Says No
Mud Throwing to Be
Attempted.
The first indication of the tactics to
be persued in the campaign of Albert
,T. Beveridge for the Republican nomi
nation for the United tSates Senate is in
dicated in a statement made public to
day by A. A. Kist, who will be in charge
of the campaign publicity, to the effect
so far as he Is concerned “there will be
nothing published or sponsored for cir
culation that will In any way besmirch
the reputation of Senator New."
The statement also "takes a shot” at
some of the tactics of the Republican
State committee when It says "Our slogan
is .‘Let the people nominate and the
party organization elect.’ ”
The statement follows:
“In i.ss-umitig charge of rhe publicity
for the Beveridge campaign, f wish it
understood by all publishers that s > for
as the control of the committe extends,
there will be nothing published or spon
sored for circulation that will in any
way besmirch the reputation of Senator
New.
"in conducting this campaign the most
important thing to keep in mind is
the election In November. Nothing should
lie said by the advocates of either can
didnte that could be used by the Dein
ocruts against our party nominee in the
fall campaign. Every Republfian pub
Usher must realize that the November
election is not to be held exclusively for
a United States Senator, but practically
nil the State officers, every Congress
man. one half of the State Senators, all
the State rep re • tatlves, us well ns Cir
cuit Court judges and county and town
ship officers are to be elected this year.
"Therefore, it is essential that thp can
didate who Is to head the Republican
! ticket in this State come out of the pri
mary tight n still greater man in the es
timation of the voters of both parties
than he already is today.
"The Democrats have not a man in
Indiana who can measure up to either
Mr. Beveridge or Mr. New Then why
should we Republicans -on duct a cam
palgn of misrepresentation and. if you
please, lying about our caudidates la
the primary election.
"Let the contest be on a high plane.
It shall be our purpose to win votes fur
Mr. Beveridge because of his eminent fit
ness for the position.
"If you are for Mr. New. tie for him
because von think lie is the better man
for the place. If you think Mr. New's
name at the bond of tie- Republican ticket
will pull more votes for the’party than
that of Mr. Beveridge, then advocate Ids
nomination on these grounds, for this is
the Important thing from the part'
! standpoint. It should control the attitude
iof every candidate running for offu •
t hether State, congressional, country or
I township.
“Our slogan is ‘Let. the people nom

Film Director Had
Rare Liquor Stock ,
Officials Discover
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11.—The pri
vate stock of liquor, declared to be
of excellent brands and rare in these
day's of prohibition, that was found
in the home of William Desmond Tay
lor, murdered film director, today de
veloped a problem for government
officials.
The liquor, under the strict “dry”
law of the country, cannot be turned
over to heirs of the slain director

It was stated the permit likely
would be granted, but the liquor may
have to be destroyed later unless an
order is issued In Federal Court per

JUDGE MAKES
NEW RULING
When Special Judge George G. Rinier
In city court today ruled for the defeud
ant In a motion to suppress evidence in
a blind tiger ease he opened anew legal
avenue for scape for alleged bootlegger*.
Blind tiger charges against Abe Rob
erts. 1043 Elm street, were dismissed by
Judge Rinier, when he announced that
tho court would rule in favor of the mo
tion filed by Ira Holmes, attorney for
Roberts. The police, according to evi
dence heard in court, some days
went to the Robert's borne at 1043 Elm
street, Jan. 21 armed with a search war
rant of the premises of a man named
Robert. McGuff. The officers searched the
place and found half a quart of white
Untie whisky. Roberts claimed the liquor
and was arrested. McGuff denied Owner
ship of the liquor and was not arrested.
The court held that inasmuch as the
search warrant was not made out in Rob
erts’ name, the police had no right to
introduce liquor found in the raid as evi
dence. Prosecutor J. Burdette Little
argued that the police were there legally
and had a right to confiscate any liquor
found and arrest any person claiming
ownership of the liquor.

Influenza and influenzal-pneu

may run into the millions, say all
Health Boards. During the Epidemic
of 1918-1919 one hospital reported
497 caseß and another 385 cases with
out a death. The omy medication
used at these hospitals was Balsa
mea, a western discovery. In thou
sands of cases Balsamea was used
and no fatalities occurred from the
influenza or its running mate, pneu
monia. Balsamea was used at the
beginning of the disease in most
cases.
Take it at the first sign of influ
enza or cold and prevent the deadly
pneumonia. Formerly Balsamea was
sold only on physicians’ p_escrip
tions but now you can buy it at any
first class drug store. Get a bottle
today and be prepared. Balsamea is
a palatable medicine powerful in its
effects on all respiratory troubles,
either temporary or chronic. —Adver-
