The paper’s late sity edition was “sequestered” by the prefect of Mi- lan because it contained a crime story a little too dark in character and therefore contrary to directions that the premier had given the Fascist press. Arnaldo Mussolini, brother of the and editor of Popolo » this morning published an account of the seizure of the edition, saying that it had occurred because a reporter was over-zealous in writing up certain police news. “We are justly sequestered,” Arnoldo Mussolini wrote, “and we are the first to admit it.” The offending story was head- lined, “Wounds his fiancee and kills self in father’s presence.” PAYNE WHITNEY ESTATE VALUED AT $194,828,614 New York Gasps as Largest Mr. Hoover is in fine spirits and apparently is enjoying the vogage greatly. The weather has been su tropical with pleasantly warm skies. The president-elect has appeared on the deck wearing a chief yeomen’s cap, white flannel trousers, white eed and a double-breasted blue coat. To Arrive Sunday The Maryland is expected to ar- tive at the Gulf of Fonesca on Sun- day and Mr. Hoover will then visit the ports of Amapala, Honduras, and La Union, Salvador. The only Central American capital to be visited is San Jose, Costa Rica, where he will journey by automobile from the Port of Punta Arenas. The Hoover party will leave the Maryland at Valparaiso, Chile. From there he will go to Santiago for a stay of a day anda night. He will start across the Andes in a spe- cial train early in the morning so that the run between the high moun- tain pease may be enjoyed by day- light. + To Visit Statue The special train will stop long enough to permit the party to in- spect the statue “Christ of the An- des” which was crected in.commem-, oration of the adjustment ‘of the boundary line between Chile and Ar- gentina. The second night of the train jour- ney will be spent in crossing the Argentine pampas and Buenos Aires will be reached the next morning. There Mr. Hoover will board the battleship Utah and go to Monte- video, Uruguay. Since the Utah must anchor about 70 miles out he will have less than a day in that capital. MINOT HIGHWAY READY FOR USE Estate in History Is Revealed by Tax Transfer New York, Nov. 22.—(4)—The world’s financial center, used to glib talk about millions, gasped today when it learned that the late Payne Whitney had left a gross estate of $194,328,514, with a net valuation of $178,893,655. This was the largest estate in the history of the transfer tax bureau. Filing of the estate's appraisal re- vealed that the financier and sports- man had bequeathed more than $45,000,000 to educational and char- itable institutions, including Yale university (his. alma mater), the New York hospital, Cornell univer- sity medical school, the New York public library, and others. A residuary trust fund of nearly Highway No. 6 North from Bismarck to Be Open for Traffic in Few Days Construction and maintenance work on state highway No. 6 be- tween Bismarck and Minot has been completed and the highway will be opened to traffic within a few days with all detours eliminated, it was announced today at the state high- way department. Work on the highway, which has been going on throughout the sum- mer, will be inspected today by en- gineers of the highway commission and will be opened to traffic shortly afterward, J. J. Ermatinger, secre- tor of the commission, said. ‘ork on the highway this sum- mer includes 71 miles of earth work and a stretch of 60 miles which was graveled, with 17 miles under con- Hie and 41 miles more to be grav- eles The 17 miles under contract are from Max south to Garrison Corner, which work must be completed by July 1, 1929.

Widow Gets $54,202,694 Mr. Whitney’s widow, Mrs. Helen Hay Whitney, daughter of John Hay, a former secretary of state, got the Mingle “share of the estate, ife income from $54,202,694.' She also received valuable real estate in New York city and Nassau county, furniture, jewelry and race horses worth in all nearly three and a quarter millions. To the New York hospital, which is cooperating with the Cornell |; medical school in plans for a huge medical center here, Mr. Whitney left $18,632,176. Other personal bequests included the establishment of temporary life estates in $27,101,347 to Joan Payne Whitney and John Hay Whitney, children of Mr. Whitney. They will have the income from the funds until they reach the age of 40, when Payne Whitney Grayson, a grand- daughter, will inherit the net funds of both her mother and her uncle. On the death of her grandmother she will also inherit the net fund of that life estate. Stocks and bonds held by Mr. Whitney totaled $182,028,278. The largest item in these securities was a block of 50,000 shares of the Northern Finance corporation, a company capitalized! at $263,955,616 and organized to look after the vast security holdings of the Whitney for- tune. Payne Whitney owned it jointly with an unnamed person, but the latter is believed by the ap- praisers to be Harry Payne Whit- ney, the decedent's older brother. Payne Whitney’s share in this one in- vestment was valued at $124,231,191. Among the corporation’s assets was listed a block of 2,035,585 shares of Standard Oil stocks, appraised at $87,834,473. Next in value was the corporation’s investment in Ameri- can and British tobacco stocks, which were valued at $68,585,748. The real estate held by Mr. Whit- ney was valued in the appraisal at $3,149,361. The outstanding item was the 587-acre holding in Manhasset, where the Whitney country home, “Green Trees,” is situated. It was there that Payne Whitney died on May 25, 1927, BIG FALLS COP SHOT T0 DEATH Constable Asks Two Men to Quit Disturbance; Shot Through Mouth International Falls, ‘Minn,, Nov. 22,—(AP)—Arvid Li stable at Big of here, Picasa b, under ai ind posses are scour- ing jty teh for pect following a disturbance here last night.

O'Hara and sought by California authorities as a thief and embezzler. California police believe the man known as O'Hara is James B. Q'Neil, former. Los Angeles bank teller under fedeval indictment there charging the theft of $25,000 in bonds and also charged with the em- bezzlement of $176,000 in bonds from the First National bank where he worked. New Orleans rolice quote O’Hara as admitting he was the man wanted in California and saying they may call me what they please.” Department of justice agents who questioned O’Hara about the federal charge say he denied knowledge of the theft. A New Orleans friend who talked yesterday with the ac- cused man quoted him as saying his real name was neither O’Hara nor O'Neil. but was “an honored name of Kentucky and I’d die before I'd reveal it.” Harry O. Gregson, captain of de- tectives who so fascinated the re- porter in his rounds of police head- quarters that, O’Hara featured the captain in a story as the detective “who always gets his man,” was the man who arrested the reporter “on the job” with his newspaper. Continuing to cloak his identity, Kenneth T., as he was known fa- miliarly, denied various disclosures that drifted in from widely separ- ated sources. George H. Pratt, business man- ager of the veterans hospital at Gulfport, Miss., told police that a newspaper photograph of Kenneth T. O’Hara bore a close resemblance of the O’Hara he served with in the aviation school during the war at Kelly Field. O’Hara denied this and also grinned at the supposition that he was Louis Atwood, jr., scion of an old Kentucky family. To reveal his identity, O’Hara per- sistently maintained, would only add to his predicament by involving others. He said he did not intend to fight extradition to the west nor to resist prosecution on the embezzle- ment charge. The reporter was traced to New Orleans through a letter written a Los Angeles friend whose identity’ Retectives declined to Faves declined to reveal.

Today’s article deals with Wil- son dam, built to supply power for the great nitrate plants. By ROBERT TALLEY - Muscle Shoals, Ala., Nov. 22.— (NEA)—Through the roaring sluice gates of the ti overnment’s gigantic Wilson dam here, built with the Liberty Bond money of the American people, a fortune is flowing to waste todi jay. Fifty million dollars were spent, thousands of men toiled like beavers and years were consumed in build- ing this great hydroelectric plant on the Tennessee river. Completed three years ago, it is one of the larg- est, finest and most costly in the world, A solid wall of concrete as high as a 10-story office building and nearly ile long, it holds back an arti- ficial lake 17 miles in length. Buried deep in its recesses are eight 30,000 horsepower turbine generators which could supply an area for many miles around with current for homes, farms, factories, street cars and lights. And yet today 87 per cent of the power that Wilson dam is equipped to produce is going to waste in the orm of water that flows unhar- nessed past the dam. A bare 13 per cent of the available production is being bought by the Alabama Power company, the sole purchaser, which holds a contract with the .government. With this exception, the Tennessee river—de- spite the fifty millions that have been spent and the thousands of men who have toiled flows as untram- meled to the sea today as it did when the Cherokee Indians pitched their wigwams on its banks and gazed | upon its turbulent waters. Turbines Are Idle A battery of eight mighty tur- bine Separators, each unit of which cost tl stands practically idle. Only three of these units are being used and these only part time; on some days they are not used at all. ie Alabama Power company, owning the only transmission lines out of Muscle Shoals, purchases only as much power as it needs to bolster up its own lines. Some days it takes more, same days less, some as none at all. aily figures for November show that present purchases are averag- ing only about five per cent of the plant’s capacity, 95 per cent going to waste, Total figures for the first 10 months of 1928 show an average of 13 per cent used and 87 per cent wasted. Under its contract, the Ala- bama Power company pays the gov- ernmdnt .002115 cents (or about two mills) for the power it takes, and at this rate, since Jan. 1 it has paid the government the sum of $410,- 915.38—while the government has lost a potential income of $2,761,000. Tt is difficult for the layman to visualize the enormous of Wil- son dam, where the government's 000 investment en now pro- ing gross revenue of less than a half we dollars a year.

Miss Rubens declared she would ask her lawyer to “pro- tect my interests in the affair.” The charge was made in an affi- davit filed in the city prosecutor's office by Mrs. W. N. Schoelwer of Beverly Hills. Mrs. Schoelwer ob- tained issuance of a complaint charging Miss Rubens’ maid, Edna Clayton, with battery. The affidavit said Miss” Rubens’ automobile occupied by the maid and a chauffeur, collided with Mrs. Schoelwer’s car, which was parked at a motion picture studio in Holly- wood. It was alleged that an argu- ment ensued which was climaxed by the maid seizing Mrs. Schoelwer by the throat and beating her in the face with her fist. Left Studio ‘Intoxicated’ Miss Rubens entered the picture, according to the affidavit, when she heard the argument and came out of the studio, “extremely intoxicated,” and told Mrs. Schoelwerthat her maid “only done what she should have done. We are all God’s children. There is no creed or color.” “Hanging on the side of my car,” the affidavit continued, “and smok- ing a cigarette, the film star said ‘Come in and see Harry Schenck. You're not going to get away until this thing is straightened out. You're trying to frame me.’” By “leaning in the window of my car with her body wobbling about,” Mrs. Schoelwer charged that Mis: Rubens refused to let her depart, saying “Not until you've settled,” and using abusive language. The affidavit stated Mrs. Swenson then accused Miss Rubens of “being drunk” whereupon the actress came around the car and said “I'll smash your nose in.” The argument was ended, the affidavit said, when a young woman came out of the stu- dio and led the film star into the office. Denies Drunk Charge After depositing bail for the re- lease of her maid, Miss Rubens in- dignantly denied the drunkenness and abusive language charges. She said she “went out of the studio to see what was wrong and do what I could to settle whatever dispate there was,” but declared “I was not wobbling as they say.” Yesterday was not entirely a day of adversity for Miss Rubens, how- ever. She and her husband, Ricardo Cortez, also a film star, announced that their “trial separation” had come to a happy ending. Miss Rubens and Cortez separated several months ago when Cortez went to live at the apartment of a friend. It was two weeks ago, they said, that they decided to let bygones be bygones and to start all over again. CITY'S INITIAL JUSTICE DEAD Daniel W.

Michie Jolanta Oconto Falls, Wis., Nov. 22.— (AP)—“Love thy neighbor as thy- self” is something more than a purase to farmers near here. They lave exemplied it by rebuilding the burned farm home of a struggling widow with eight young children. Almost before the ashes of the home of Mrs. Ernestina Schindel had cooled, neighbors gathered and laid the timbers for a new home, Mrs. Schindel’s husba. died three years ago.

But the neighbors were already busy. Under the direction of a man who is a carpenter they rallied to her aid and now, by Sunday they say she can move in her new home. ‘They also raised enough money to give the family a new start.

SUSPECTED OF KILLING THREE OMAHA PEOPLE Enraged Fireman Wrests Ax from Attacker, Knocks Him Unconscious ADMITS BEING IN OMAHA Description of Fiend Fits Man Held in Chicago Bridewell Hospital (AP)—A negro hatchet-man, ten down by his own hand ax, was held here today as a suspect in the Omaha, Nebr, “hatchet” slayings. 4 The _prisone confined to the Bridewell hospital under close guard, said he was Harry Gonsha, 29 years old. He was arrested early yester- day after he hadirobbed the home of Alfred Samuelson, city fireman, His description, even to his cloth- ing, fitted that of the man sought for the series of Omaha attacks. Gonsha carried a hatchet in his belt when he entered the Samuelson home. Fleeing, he was ove! en by Samuelson, who wrested tke hand ax from the negro’s hand and struck him several times, knocking him un- conscious. Wires Omaha Police After questioning Gonsha, Police Captain James Dohert, telegraphed Omaha police: “I believe your ax man is under arrest here.” Gonsha, who was not seriously in- jured .zhen his hatchet was turned upon him by Samuelson, was some- what hazy concerning his movements of the past week, Captain Doherty, said. “Sure, I've been in Omaha,” he said, in reply to a question, then added, “but not since about last June.” Can't Remember He said he came to Chicago from Milwaukee. “I think it was yester« day, I don’t remember exactly,” he added. “Where did you get the ax?” the captain asked, and the answer was: “I got it next door, in a basement,” (The, theft of «Hand ax from some place near his victim’s home was an act of the Omaha axman in each of his three attacks.) Gonsha was asked how long he had been in Milwaukee before com- ing here and he said “Four days, maybe two; I don’t remember.” He was not sure, police said, where he had been before that, but thought it was St. Paul, Minn.
