Castle, chief of the Division of Foreign Affairs of the Department of State in Washington, declared at the .institute of politics | today that the Soviet government of | Russia and the Third Internationale were “only the right and left hands of the same organism and that the claims of those who assert to the con- | trary has been exploded.” “The United States,” he said, ““does not propose to recognize any govern- ment which repudiates its interna- 1 tional obligations and interferes with | the economic and political systems of other countries. ¥ “The Soviet government ‘of Russia represents only a small minority of the Russian people and is indisputably gullty of world-wide destructive propa- ganda.

GUN, BATTLE WAGED Cause Panic Among Guests and Take $10,000. | | By the Asso. CHICAGO, ted Press. July 30.—In movie thriller style, a robber band, masked and bristling with pistols and shot guns, invaded the exclusive Drake time yesterday, enacting scenes of killing and sanguinary gun fighting that extended subsequently for an hour over North Side boulevards. When the spectacular affray was over, of five robbers, two were dead and one captured; a hotel clerk had been killed; two women had been in- Jjured; two robbers had escaped with $10,000. Barly today ome of the escaped holdup men was found and the one previously arrested confessed fully. The robbery was staged within a stone's throw of the residential mansions of Chicago’s 400, while | hundreds of guests thronged the lob bies and heavy traffic crowded adja cent Michigan avenue. A dozen po- licemen were within call. Employes Terrorized. For 15 minutes the robbers, one of them a full-blooded Cherokee Indian cowboy from Texas, terrorized em- ployes in the hotel offices, on the mezzanine floor, and had crammed the loot Into @ black satchel when their retreat was cut off by James McMur- dle. house detective. Summoned by an excited guest, the detective confronted the robbers and began firing with two pistols. While guests ran for cover amid whizzing bullets the robbers returned shot for shot with the detective retreating through an éntrance. Policemen, attracted by shots and called by employes, fired on the band as they Jeft the hotel and the Indian, “Tex" Corts, or Ted Court, wounded by the detective, was killed. In the first ourburst of shooting. one of the robbers guarding Frank B. Rodkey, assistani cashier, who stood helpi with hands ised, shot and killed him. Witnesses luter told the police the robber was Jack fiolmes of New York, and also a former Brownsvllle, Tex., cowboy. Holmes fled to the kifchen during the battle with McMurdie. He ter- rorized empioyes there until he was captured, after snapping his empty pistol in the faces of two policemen. Gun Fight in Street. The third robber, Erlc Nelson, a former employe of the hotel, comman- deered a taxicab and dashed through the congested traffic through the ex- clusive North Shore boulevards, ex- changing shots with pursulng police- men and threatening Mrs. Maizie Lar- son, occupant of the cab. After the taxi driver deliberately wrecked the cab, injuring Mrs. Larson, Nelson fled on foot, and was killed by one of the policemen when he took refuge in & basement. Of the two robbers who escaped in an automobile left running at the {hotel door, Jim Woods was seized when he applied at a_ hospital eprly today for treatment for a \wounded hand. He admitted connection with the holdup, and augmented the con- fession of Holmes. Holmes said the fifth man was Jack |Nugent. The police belleve Nugent was the stranger who brought Woods to the hospital, and who left unnoticed while the fnjury was being treated. The dead Nelson was the leader of the band, some of whom were intoxi- cated or under the influence of drugs. Holmes told the police. He said he and his pal. “Tex" the Indfan, had |come here recently from Texas, had | met Nelson and Nugent in & poolroom and had agreed to assist in the hold- up, without knowing fully the extent |of the proposed undertikinz.
