GANGSTER'S VICTIM, FOUND SHOT, BURNED Business Man Believed Tied to Post, Shot at Close Range in Wisconsin Area Rhinelander, Wis., June 14.—()}—A bunch of keys today served as the sole clew to the identity of a charred body of a man found in a lonely spot three miles south of Three Lakes, late yesterday, while a sawed off shotgun is the only clew to the slayer. ‘That the man, about 25, was a vic- tim of a gangster about two weeks ago is the opinon of District Attorney Earl L. Kennedy since it is an estab- lished fact that the lake region near here is a summer rendezvous of un- derworld characters from Chicago. ‘Investigation disclosed that the victim had been tied to a post with wire about the hands and feet and that he had been shot at close range.

White, border patrolman, was charged with sec- ond degree murder in connection with the killing of Henry Virk- kula, Big Falls confectioner, and the original charge of se:ond de- gree manslaughter was dismissed. Washington, June 14.—()—Assist- ant Secretary Lowman of the treas- ury announced today that E. J. White, the customs patrolman, who shot Henry Virkkula near International Falls, Minn., last Saturday night “was acting within his authority under the law and has a perfect defense.” Lowman said that if White were indicted his case would be trans- ferred to the United States courts and added that newspaper accounts of the shooting were highly colored. The assistant secretary said em- phatically the treasury had no inten- tion of disarming customs patrolmen and said that should congress pass @ law disarming them it would in ef- fect repeal the tariff laws. The same rule, he continued, holds good with Prohibition agents and to disarm Seen would nullify the 18th amend- ment. A statement issued by the assistant secretary did not make public details of the official report of the Virkkula shooting by Assistant Collector of Customs Linderberg at Duluth, Minn. “It would appeaf™ from the report that the newspaper accounts of the affair have been highly colored, to put it mildly,” Lowman said. “White apparently was acting within his au- thority under the law and has a per- fect defense to the charges that have been made against him. “If the local courts indict White a motion will be made to transfer his oa to the United States court for rial. “A customs border patrolman is en- titled to have any charges made against him decided by a jury of his Peers, the same as any other citizen.” The Virkkula case is the third within 10 days in which the agents in the treasury have upheld shooting of persons. The other cases were those of Detroit and near Silver City, New Mexico. VIRKKULA WAS DEAF, FRIEND TESTIFIES Superior, Wis., June 14.—()—Henry Virkkula, victim of a border patrol- man’s bullet, probably never heard the latter's order to halt, H. Taylor, a Minneapolis salesman, said today. Taylor said Virkkula was hard of hearing, although not entirely deaf. Virkkula, Taylor said. was unable to understand unless the speaker at- tracted his attention and then spoke in @ loud voice. ‘CAN NOT ESCAPE HIS PUNISHMENT—HURLBERT’ International Falls, Minn., June 14. —()—"Emmet J.

S. HAS WESTERN WORLD Great Britain Would Take Eu- rope and Africa in Sphere Under This Plan Washington, June 14.—()—The question of freedom of the seas will probably be the most important ‘problem which Ramsay MacDonald, \the British prime minister, will dis- cuss with President Hoover if he carries out his reported plan to visit the United States. This question has been the subject of discussions in the senate and in diplomatic gatherings in Europe ever since the war. Congress, while considering the cruiser bill, adopted an amendment urging the president ito discuss this question with the in- terested naval powers. It is closely related, in the minds of many, with the problem of naval m, which the president and Mr. MacDonald also will discuss if the latter comes to ‘Vashington. Some hold that a settlement of naval limitation bet the United States and Great Britain would automat- ically tale care of the problem of freedom of the seas as it concerns these two nations, but others argue that the later problem must be dis- josed of before naval strength can e discussed effectively. Divide Hemisphere So far as the United States and Great Britain are concerned in this problem, both official and diplomatic circles today expressed themselves as of the-opinion that a logic.l solu- tion would be a divison of hemi- sphere with the Atlantic ocean as the boundary. Under such an arrangement, these usually well-informed quarters said, England would take as her sphere Europe and Africa, with the United States guaranteeing not to interfere with Great Britain’s obligations under the covenant of the league of nations. Would Watch West The sphere of the United States would be the western world, with reat Britain uarantonie not to interfere with the obligations of the ited States under the Monroe loctrine. Problems of the Pacific are dealt with, these circles nointed out, by the four-power agreement signed i Washi-eton in 1921 by the United States, Great Britain, Japan and France, protecting their interests in ‘the Pacific.

RASKOB RIDDANCE IS URGED BY DEMOCRAT Box Charges Chairman Trying to Make Party Instrument Against Dry Laws Washington, June 14.—(4)}—Demo- crats of the country were urged toda: by Representative Box of Texas, a: sistant house Democratic leader, to take their party contre! out of the hands of John J. Raskob, chairman of the national committee. In his second speech on this sub- ject since the last presidential elec- tion, the Texan, who supported Alfred E. Smith as the Democratic presiden- tial candidate, charged in the house that Raskob and his associates were seeking to change the party into an instrument of the association against the prohibition amendment and make it merely the organization of the li- quor and anti-restriction blocs.” Asserting that there was “no pro- fession that Mr. Raskob is anything but a Republican of the high finance type with no interest in Democratic principles,” Box declared Raskob was seeking to destroy the Democratic party “so that it cannot soon become & dangerous opponent of his own party.” CANCER CLINIC WILL SEEK SCOURGE CURE Work May Cover Several Gen- erations of Study, Dr. Chas.

This action at the capitol followed @ decision earlier in the day of the joint farm conference committee rec- ommending elimination of the de- benture proposition as a result of the overwhelming huuse vote against it. With the disposition of the farm Question, congress cleared the legis- lative slate of the main task for which it wa: called into extraordi- nary session by Mr. Hoover. The bill as enacted resembles close- ly the original house measure, which had the endorsement of the chief executive. This led to predictions from practically all quarters that the measure would receive a prompt sig- | nature by the president. Senate Vote Delayed House approval of the compromise | bill was perfunctory, but the senate {vote was delayed by protests from senators who favor the export de- | benture plan. No roll call vote taken in the house. The senate vote on the joint conference report was 73 to 8. | Three republican snd five demo- cratic senators voted against the measure, They were: La Follette, Wisconsin; Norbeck, South Dakota, and Pine, Oklahoma, republicans, and Blease, South Carolina, Cara’ '. Arkansas, Copeland, New York, Walsh, Massachusetts, and Wheeler, Montana, democrats. Steps were taken immediately for Vive-President ‘Curtis’ and Speaker Longworth to sign the measure so it could be sent forthwith to the presi- dent. Seek Tariff Ouget More is to be heard from the advo- cates of the export debenture even though it has been eliminated as an issue in farm relief legislation. Their plan, since it became ap- Parent weeks ago that no farm meas- ure which included debentures was j likely to be approved, is to try to put the proposal into the tariff bill in the senate. House administration leaders assert the attempt will prove futile. They take the position that the vote in the house yesterday, 250 to 113 against debentures, settled them for the re- mainder of the session. May Modify This view is not shared, however, by those who favor the plan in the senate. A movement already is un- der way to modify the proposal in the hope of gaining support for it in the house. Senator Brookhart. republican, Iowa, intends to propose the revenue from debenture certificates be. given only to stabilization corporations which the federal farm board will be authorized to set up under the terms of the farm relief bill. Chief objection to the debentures centered in the belief the farmer would never obtain the full benefit of money derived from their use. Presi- dent Hoover contended they would bene:;! speculators but prove ruinous to the farmer. Senator Brookhart and other deben- ture advocates now contend that, through issuance of debenture certif- icates directly to the farm board, the farmer would benefit through his direct control of the stabilization corporations.
