The aa Daily Trike FINAL EDITION DENVER POLICE SEEK ITALIAN AS MURDERER OF PAIR FOUND DEAD 1 Mites Shrouds Killing Late Yesterday of Two Young Women but Attack Made Recently By Italian Lover Holds Important Clue DENVER, Col., Aug. 28.—Police combed the Italian section of Denver today in search of a man named “Joe,” in the belief that he could throw light on the murder of Mrs. Roy McGlone, 28, pretty wife of a Denver Athletic instructor, and Miss Emma Vascovie, 19, a hotel employe, who were found shot to death—each with a bullet in her right temple—last night. The object of the search, accord ing to police, was not to be found in his usual haunts. Efforts to find an open motive for the double killing were as fruit- Jess as the search for “Joe.” In the meantime McGlone, husband of the elder victim, was speeding to ward Denver from a camp neat Bailey, Colorado, where he has been spending his vacation. He was expected here today and police are awaiting his story in the hope he can throw light on the case. The bodies of the two women were found in a pool of blood on the floor of a bedrom in the McGlone partment by two neighbors, Mrs Henry T. Burtscher and Mrs. Laura 1. Jones, who notified the police A .82 calibre revolver lay between the bodies when police arrived, and two empty cartridges were found within a few inches of the gun. A blood smeared note, scrawled in an unsteady illiterate masculine hand end found on one of the dress- ing tables in the death chamber caused police to discount the theory of murder and suicide. The note read: “Tt ki him because I thought too’ much of him. I want him to go me where i go, Goodbye I am hap- ping now. “She not to. ope On another dressing table was found a glass half filled with a brown lquid. An analysis of the fluid is being made. In the living room of the apart- ‘ment, into which the bedroom is entered through a double door, po- ce found two bullet holes. One was in the oeiling, indicating it had been fired in the direction of the bedroom door, and the other was In the door casing ‘itself, pointing In a general direction where the bodies were found. Mrs. Burtscher told police she heard what she believed to be three shots, about (0 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Frightened she ran to the apartment of Mrs. Jones, a few doors away in the same building, nd told Mrs. Jones of hearing the shots. Both women were afraid to ven- ture near the McGlone apartment until shortly after six o'clock. The outer door of the apartment, they said, was a few inches ajar, permit- ting them to see through the living room and into the bedroom, where they discovered the bodies. Police found no evidence of & struggle. F. C. Rosser, a neighbor, told po lice he recently heard Mrs. McGlone nay sho feared her husband was Jealous of “Joe.” Rosser said he did not know who “Joe” was. Alfred Calone, brother-in-law of Mrs. McGlone, said both Mrs. Mc- Glone and Miss Vascovie spent Sun- day night at the Calone home, and that he had taken them to Mrs. McGlone’s home Monday morning. Calone then told police of an Ital- ian, the only person in the world, he believed, who could have commit- ted the crime. “Lillian, (Mrs. McGlone) told me last night that when she and Miss Vascovie were leaving a park dance recently that the Italian leaped upon the running board of her car and struck her,” said he. “One eye was still black and while riding over home this morning she expressed fear that her husband might injure or perhaps kill the Italian when he returned. “She asked me whether she had better tell her husband of the affair and I told her that I thought it would be best.” Calone said that Mrs. McGlone and Miss Vascovie were the best of friends and were very fond of each other, He said he was confident they had not quarreled. Calone and friends of the slain woman scout. the early theory of a possible murder and suicide. _——— FUGITIVE IDENTIFIED AS JOSEPH BRINDISL DENVER, Colo. ,Aug. 28—Police} investigation today of the slaying of| Mra, Roy McGlone and her chum, | Misa Emma Vascovie late yesterday, | linked Joseph Brindisi, a Sicilian, more closely with the crime and re- vealed that the two women were shot to death with a revolver owned by Roy McGlone. While police today were throwing out a dragnet throughout the state in an effort to apprehend Brindisi, McGlone returned to Denver from the mountains where he was visiting | when the tragedy visited his home, and startled authorities with the} announcement that his wife lived in| constant fear for her life, that she had been theatened with death three times during the past year, and that the revolver, found lying between the lifeless bodies of the two women, as they lay in thelr own blood on the floor of the McGlone apartment Monday afternoon was taken from a linen closet in his home where he had placed it. Probing Brindisi's movements | during the past few days, polica learned from Mrs. Edna Higlund, landlady at the hot * at which both he and Miss Vascovie resided, that he had rushed into his room late Monday, changed his clothes and left hurriedly. His sister informed them that she had not seen Brin- disi for two weeks. Two patrolmen, school mates of Brindisi rushed to Welby, Colorado this morning, where relatives of the Sicilian are said to reside, and the search for him was extended to cities and towns through- out the state. It became known to- day that he was arrested recently on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. | WATER RIGHTS SAFE, RECLAMATION SERVICE TORECOGNIZE WYOMING CLAIMS, GOVERNOR AND CONGRESSMEN ASSURE FORUM MEETING Complete assurance is given the people of Wyoming by Governor) ‘William B, Ross and Congressman Charles HE, Winter that state water rights will be fully protected and that varfous reclamation projects will be undertaken and pushed for-| ward to completion as rapidly as possible.

At Rate of 88 Miles an Hour By Pilots In Air Since Early Monday; Refueling of Plane Is Carried Out With Success SAN DIEGO, Calif., Aug. 28.—With the mechanism of their airplane apparently functioning perfectly and with four world’s records for speed having already been shattered, Captain Lowell H. Smith and Lieutenant John P. Richter, United States| army airmen, gave today every indication of hanging up several more marks before the} end of the epoch-making flight begun earlyyesterday.

D., Aug. 28.—(By The Associated Press). —Matching every dollar spent by the allied nations on farm products in this country with cancellation of a cor- responding amount of their war debt to the United States is contemplated in a plan presented to the six state farmer- banker conference here today. George H. Stevenson, farmer and former president of the Federal Land bank of Baltimore, presented the plan to the conference, which was called to “decide upon a defl- nite, tangible plan of assisting in bringing about relief for the grain growers of the northwest.” On invitations sent out through all banks in the ninth federal re- serve district, in North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Wis consin and upper Michigan, repre- rentatives of agricultural colleges, officials of farmer bureau federa- tions and other organizations met with the bankers, Mr. Stevenson presented the plan as “a solution of relief for the farmer in connec- tion with the adjustment of the allied war debt and reparation prob- lem” and set st forth as follows: “That the government of the United States make 4 proposition to our late allies who are indebted to us in excess of eleven billion dol that for every dollar of farm products they buy from us, our government will credit their debt] to us by a like amount, lars, “The price paid, for instance, in the case of whet, to be the Liver- pool price, plus tariff differential of 80 cents per bushel, less transpor- tation costs. “This arrangement, which should continue for a series of say from five to ten years, would result un- questionably in not only a premium for our exportable products, but allies may wipe out their war obligations to us, thus removing another barrier to our isolation, for it is ao fact that this in- debtedness in a measure stands be- tween us and a proper relationship to all Europe. — “Its effect is both economic, as re flected in exchange, and physchlog- ical insofar as indebtedness !s barrier to best relations between beth men and nations, “Further, this plan might well be extended to Germany as a basis of) credit upon the allies’ debt to for all purchases of agricultura products by Germany. in considera | tion of a credit for like it being | itt “Such plan should appeal to both American and British bankers to finance Germany’s purchases, and particularly to France, among) all the allies as a means of getting| onde way a liquidation of at least a part of Burope's stupendous debt. ing the above plan, it is believed that none of the nations now con ltributing to the world supply of |agricultural products will bo injured through the consummation of such an arrangement. “First, it may be assumed that| Europe will, in the future as in tho| past, absorb our surplus agricul tural products at the world price. “Second, all nations will profit} directly through an adjustment the allied debt question contemplat- ed under this plan. “Further, in conclusion, it is well to keep in mind that purchase would] be made at the world price plus tar-| differential, and that tr be const t ansac tions would closed door urbance of the w made upon the German reparation debt by the allies, appreciable di markets, the} and Richter set up a new world rec-| “Be it understood that; in advanc-| when Captain Robert G.
