This is not a soldier’s job but what- ever peacemakers are decided upon, I shall observe. All my compatriots will agree to this program and no one siuuld be afraid. Foreign lives and property will be protected.” It is said to be the intention of General Feng to call a round table conference of outstanding figures opposed to the overthrown govern- ment in an effort to effect a re- unification of China, rehabilitate its finances and end factional strife. “A military representative of the new regime called on the foreign diplomats at the legation quarter and assured them that every effort would be made -to open communica- tion at the earliest possible moment.

Montreal, With the execution of four of the ‘slayers of Henri Cleroux, one of the most sensational robberies in Cana- dian criminology is brought to a close. Of the six men convicted of the slaying four have paid the death penalty and two others are serving life sentences, On April 1 of this year eight masked men held up the money car} ,of the Bank of Hochelaga under ‘railroad bridge and, without warning, opened fire on the car's crew. Cl oux, the driver, fell dead. Over- powering another bank employe, the bandits seized $162,000 and fled, fol- | lowed by a hail of bullets. Speeding madly away, the bandits’ automobile crashed into a telegraph pole and was wrecked. Seven of the robbers fled on foot, but the eighth, Harry Stone, internationally known as a narcotic smuggler, was killed. Buried in the ruins of the machine was found $40,000 of the bank's money. Six Arrested Within 24 hours police arrested six men and two women and announced ‘ that $6,000 found on the suspects had | been identified as part of the bank loot. On June 23, six of the suspects were found guilty of Cleroux’s mur- der. They were Leo Davis, Tony. Franks, Louis Morel, Mike Valentino, iuiseppe Serafeni and Frank Gam- bino. Then followed a series of ap- peals which were of no avail except to grant a stay of execution to Davis until November 6. With the other five sentenced to hang, Morel, alleg- ed to be the leader of the band, in a letter to Gambino's wife, confessed his share in the holdup and absolved Gambino, Valentino and Frank.

Last minute efforts to save the con- victed men resulted in the calling of an emergency sitting of the cab- inet and yesterday the death sen- tences of Davis and Valentino were communted to life imprisonment, BADGER GRID MAN KILLED Madison, Wis., Oct. 24.—While ex- lal supposition that every well OTHERS ARE SENTENCED. SANE ECONOMY, PEACE, FARMER AID, PLEDGED President in Last Address Expected Before Election Sets Forth Purposes SEEKS PROSPERITY Against Government Owner- ship as Restriction Upon Individual’s Rights Washington, Oct. 24.—President “oolidge set forth last night pol- icies of administration under which he purposes that the government will “maintain peace, promote econe omy, provide a protective tariff, as- t the farmers, leave the people in possession of their property and maintain the integrity of the courts.” In the last extended address he expects to make before election and the most comprehensive he has de- livered since his speech of accept- ance of the Republican nomination, the President declared his stand on practically every phase of govern- ment affairs. He discussed cam- paign issues, in some instances for the first time. Mr. Coolidge spoke before the Eastern Division of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, meeting here in the chamber’s new building and the address was car- ried by radio to almost every section of the country. Summarizing the administration's program which, he said, had “brought an era of more than aver- jage prosperity,” the president call- ed attention that despite the “natur- ish- er of the country would be anxious to maintain the present established order of things,” there are now pro- posed “at least two of the most rev- olutionary changes” — government ownership of transportation and limitation of the powers of the su- preme court. Perilous: Undertaking Public ownership he described as a “most perilous undertaking, both ‘to the welfare of business and the independence of the people.” If powers of the supreme court were limited as proposed, he said, “the historian would close the chapter with the comment that the people had shown that they were incapable of self government and the Amer- ican republic had proved a failure.” Mr. Coolidge said further reduc- |tion in Federal taxes was possible on the basis of the estimated f= ernment budget for next year, and he outlined his common-sense method of taxation: “Getting all we can out of the rich by making the rates moderate and stimulating business to provide work and increase the earnings of the poor.” The foreign affairs, the President promised cooperation in the interest f peace; declared for constitutional ovenants outlawing aggressive war- fare; and reaffirmed his proposal (Continued on page 6) PUBLICATION OF INCOME Is AT OWN RISK Department of Justice Serves Notice Pending a Final Ruling on Matter as Washington, Oct. 24.—The Depart- ment of Justice served notice today that pending a careful examination of the statutes and a final ruling, newspapers which publish income tax returns will do so at their own risk. The department announcement was made while Secretary Mellon and other ranking officials at the treasury were withholding definite opinion. Revenue Commissioner Blair, however, indicated that he regarded publication of the returns as a violation of the law. Upon inquiry by Secretary Mellon this statement was issued by James Beck, acting Attorney-General in the absence of Attorney-General Stone: “Many inquiries have been recetv- ed by the Department of Justice as to publication in the press of the income tax records secured from the collectors of tax offices under the ‘public inspection’ provision of the tax law passed in May last, in view of the provision ‘of section perimenting in the electrical engi- neering department at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, Herbert O. Opitz, 24, fullback on the university foot- ball squad, came into contact with a live wire and was electrocuted. The body will be sent to Elkhorn, Wis., the student’s home. Opitz suddenly picked up an elec- trical condenser while holding ¥{ second one in his hand. Six hun- dred volts passed through his body, laboratory officials said, rendering him unconscious. He died two hours later at the university hospital. 3167 of the revised statutes which, if unrepealed, by the latter law, make such publication a criminal of- fense. “Offficiats of the Department state that a careful study of the two provisions will be made because the department and, im due course a conclusion reached as to whether such publication is permissable un- der the law as. now amended. a “In the meantime, the respons- itility for such publication must rest with those who in any way pub- lish the details of individuat im- comes.”
