CITES AIMS OF FASCISMO Tells How Prosperity Has Followed Peaceful Revolution. An extraordinary feat in politico- journalistic teamwork has been ac- complished in Rome by three men— Benito Mussolini, president of his Trallan majest: council, the man In- terviewed; Edward Price Bell, special forelgn staft correspondent of The Star und Chicago Dally News, and who did the interviewing, and Hiram Kelly Mod- erwell, Rome correspondent of The Star and Chelago Daily News, who did the interpreting.

On the instant of our appointment a secretary came through a lofty door. way and called out, ‘Mr. Price Bell! We followed him along several cor- ridors and through two or three ante- chambers to the door of the presi- dent's room. There we paused for ar few seconds. Then the Secretary turned the knob, opened the door and the vast offi‘e of Mussolini lay before us. We had entered at one corner; diagonally across the great expanse of the room in the farthest rner from us sat Mussolinl at his k by a wide, towering window. ‘One’s glance involuntarily swept over the room, despits the magnetism of the man.

He listened intently, his hands relaxed on the arms of his chair, his head bowed. He seemed 1o concentrate as much energy on listening as do most orators on speaking.” Word Picture of Mussolinl. Mr. Bell writes these impressions of the remarkable man whom he inter- viewed: “He is not tall, or raw-boned, or pretty. He is somewhat short and de- cidedly well-fleshed, but not fat. Those who see mental and moral rather than physical features will, I think, call him handsome. Nor is he at all bad-looking physically. His dark-brown eyes are the talk of Ttaly. ““Mussolin intensely egoistic and auintessentially Italian. Some might call him affected.

This ig vir- tuajly the alpha and omega of his feefing and philosophy. “They call him dictator. To the un- patfiotic, to the anti-social and anti- civilized, to the lawless, to the bol- shekists, he is dictator.

SENATORS CONCLUDE FARE-CUT HEARINGS Ham, Last Witness Called Before Subcommittee, Opposes Mac- Kellar Measure. COMMITTEE MAY NOT ACT. Author to Offer Proposal as Amend- ment to D. C. Bill. Hearings on the McKellar 5-cent street car fare bill for the District of Columbia, which have been con- ducted by the public utilities sub- committee of the Senate District com- mittee for several months, were con- cluded today, when W. F. Ham, presi- dent of the Washington Railway and Electric Company, concluded his tes- timony Senator McKellar, author of the bill, who has been a constant attend- ant’ at the hearings and who has questioned the witnesses, was not present today. He announced several weeks ago that he would offer his five-cent street car fare bill as an amendment to the District appropria- tion bill no matter what the District committee might do with the street car fare bill, or whether the hearings were concluded or not The District appropriation bill has been reported to the nate and is ex- pected to come up for consideration today or tomorrow, and Senator Mc- Kellar is cxpected to try to have his street car fare bill added as amendment. A point of order, it is expected, will be made against the proposed amendment on the ground that it is general legislation sought in an appropriation bill Committee May Not Act. 1t is not considered likely that the District committee itself will take any action on the McKellar bill at the present session, with probable adjournment of Congress less than two weeks off. Mr. Ham reiterated today his state- ment that a five-cent fare, with six tickets for a quarter, as proposed by Senator McKellar, would make it impossible for the street car lines to continue to operate. He presented figures showing that the Washington Rallway and Electric Company in the ten-vear period ending with 1923, had earned $3,829,333, less than 7 per cent on the fair valuation of the property as fixed by the Public Utilities Com- mission of the District; that it had been short $382,933 on an average each year of making such a return, which, he declared, was no more than a fair return. Ham Shows Profits. Mr. Ham showed also that the Capi- tal Traction Company, which is popu- larly supposed to have been reaping a big harvest in recent years, earned only $180,000 & year In the last decade ovér a 7 per cent return on its val- uation as fixed by the Public Utilities Commission. Combining the earnings of the two companies over such a period and thelr valuations as fixed by the com- mission, Mr. Ham said, showed that they had together been short of a 7 per_cent return on their valuation of $202,286 a vear. (" Mr. Ham laid before the commit- tee figures to show that taxes pald by the street railway companies and expenses of maintaining crossing po- lice had nearly doubled since 1914. He showed, too, that the cost of coal, which'is needed to provide mo- tive power, has increased from $3.25 per gross ton delivered in Washing- ton in 1914 to $6.79 at present, an Increase of 106 per cent. FORD SHOALS BID GETS ANOTHER VOTE Senate Committee Reconsiders Ac- tion Rejecting Plan Wednesday. Reconsidering its previous ' action, the Senate agriculture committee de- cided today to take another vote on the Ford Muscle Shoals bid, which it rejected last Wednesday, as well as on the Norris bill for government operation of the property. e The action today was taken on the grounds that the vote last Wednes- day did not represent the true senti- ment of the Senate agriculture com- mittee. Confused as to Meaning. It was explained that some sena- tors were confused in the meaning of the vote, and another was absent. On the first vote the Ford bid was defeated, 10 to 6, and supporters of the Norris proposal won by the same count on the question of closing the hearings last Wednesday or continu- ing them until tonight. WOULD EXTEND DRIVE. G. A. R. Seeks to Continue Cam- paign for Grave Ornaments. A request that collection boxes used by the Grand Army of the Republic in its campaign for money for the purchase of ornaments for soldiers’ graves be allowed to remain until Tuesday of next week, was made to- day by A. J. Kimmel, vice chajrman of the memorial committee in charge of the drive. The campaign ends tomorrow. but the activities arranged for this week will make it difficult for the veterans to take up the boxes, Mr. Kimmel stated. Flight Is Postponed by Wind. LAKEHURST, N. J., May 26—A thirty-five-mile-an-hour wind at the naval air station caused the post- ponement until late afternoon of the J-L's scheduled flight to Philadelphia and return today. The non-rigid air- ship had been expected to leave here at_9 o'clock. Officers at the station sald they expect the wind to die down late today, at which time they also will take out the Shenandoah for an 8,000~ foot altitude test, after which she will be secured at her steel mooring mast to remain overnight.

COOLIDGE AID IS DOUBTFUL Friends of Farm Relief Proposal Seek Help for New Program. Admitting that the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill may be defeated, some House supporters of the measure be- gan looking around today for a sub- stitute. Representative Tincher of Kansas, a member of the House agriculture committee. and the Republican steer- ing committee, who has been a leader in the fight for the measure, conferred with . Secretary Wallace, sponsor of the proposal. The Secretary was told that the outlook was “dark” al- though enough votes might be lined up to pass the bill. The Kansas representative said he believed that if the measure is re- jected every effort should be made to put through some farm relief measure before the end of the session, now scheduled for a week -from Saturday. Thus far, no proposal has been ad- vanced, he said, which would be like- 1y to command a majority in both the House and Senate. The McNary-Haugen bill has been laid aside by the House for other legislation, but will be taken up again Thursday, with a vote likely before the end of the week. In the event of its defeat, Mr. Tincher is of the opinion it would be possible to agree on a substitute in time to ob- tain House and Senate action during the coming week. Coolldge Ald Doubtful Efforts probably will be made to obtain President Coolidge’s views as to what should be done. Some friends of the McNary-Haugen bill sald they thought it unlikely that he would come out in its support, but they predicted that he might lend his aid in working out a substitute program. A White House conference with this end In view, it was sald, may be held within the next few days. Adjournment of Congress before the June conventions, leaders gen- erally agreed, depends on farm leg- islation. If no action is had be- fore June 7 it appears certain that members of the House and Sen- ate farm blocs would oppose ad- journment. An adjournment resolu- tion_could be forced to a vote in the House, but a filibuster could pre- vent action In the Senate. Those Interested in the movement to find an alternative for the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill contend the prob- lem can as well be worked out dur- ing the next ten days as during a summer session, BANDIT BOAF'iDS TRAIN, HOLDS UP FOUR, ESCAPES Hops on Pullman Entering Kansas City Station, Gets $200 From Passengers.

Reichsbank Head Stresses Value to Business Leaders. By the Associated Press. HAMBURG, May 26—Dr. Hjalmar Schadt, president of the Reichsbank, addressing a meeting of the Han- seatic League, largely attended by German business men, declared that the Dawes reparation report was the only basis for solution of Germany's economic and financial problems. “National economic existence Is vouchsafed only with a great Inter- national system of communication,” he said. _“Our business will not again flourish unless we find peace- ful coadjustments with the economic 1ife of other nations.
