Senator-elect Thomas, Democrat, ©Oklahoma, and Ernest E.

It brought a hope of bet- ter understanding among the nations to the end that there might be more boundaries like that between the United States and Canada—unfortified for its entire length. “It did not mean that wars were at an end or over for all time, because there is no guarantce against errors in human judgment or the violence of human passion. The success of the allied powers and the United States, however, should stand as an historical signpost along the highway of time, warning future generations that an enlightened world will not bow its head and meekly accept an imperial dictatorship. “Therefore, it meant that while wars will surely come in the future, nations will hesitate longer.

Emery, 1218 D street, to prevent the sale of Bike's Home-made Doughtnuts and to keep Peuchert from solicting custom- ers of the plaintiff with whom he had been formerly employed. Beuchert says Emery does not make a home-made doughnut because he lives over in Georgetown, and does busin on D street "in the down- town section. He never received any formula for making doughnuts, Beu- chert says, om Emery but while working for him made them just as he had done with his former employer. except that he was instructed to omit eggs. His doughnuts, Beuchert asserts, are better than those sold by Emory because they contain hoth eggs and milk, and he claims Emery is trying to stifle competition.

It is apparent that unfriendliness toward Edward J. Kidwell, jr.,, the talkative Juror who played a part in bringing about the mistrial in the Teapot Dome case, still existed on the part of his fromer associates. None of them spoke to Kidwell, and when they were ushered into Burkin- shaw's office, Kidwell waited outside alone.

By the Amsociated Press. NEW YORK, November 11.—The New York Times says today it has learned from reliable Wall Street sources that Soviet government repre- sentatives have approached American bankers within the last few weeks seeking assistance to ameliorate the Russian financlal situation. The Russian representatives, the Times snys, have been so far unsue- cessful but are expected to resume negotiations for a loAn within the next month or so. Charles E. Mitchell, president of the National City Bank, was met by Soviet agents in Paris, the Times sags, but nothing came of the conversations, and Mr. Mitchell knew of no plans for a possible Russian loan in this market. French Surveillance Reported. One report heard in the financlal district concerning Soviet conferences with American bankers was that the French government kept the Russian agents under surveillance while they were in France and has informally notified the American banking inter- ests that the conferences should be terminated because of the Kranco- Soviet relations. The Times says that the informal Russian proposal was for the issuance of about $100,000,000 of 313 per cent 60-year bonds. These bonds, it was proposed, should be exchanged on a ratable basis for the present out- standing and defaulted obligations of the Russian government in this coun- try, which are estimated at approxi- mately $86,000,000, in addition to claims for property destroyed or damaged in the war and debts due to the Ameri. can Government arising out of the war. Diplomacy Is Obstacle. With these outstanding obligatlons taken care of by the 3} per cent bond issue, it was suggested, says the Times, that the Soviet government should receive a credit with which to carry out rehabilitation projects. An obstacle was seen in the way of the flotation of a Russian loan here in the fact that the Soviet govern- ment is unrecognized by the U States. It was considered that any financial agreement with Russia must be preceded by a refunding of Russian debts to the United States, as the State Department’s approval of Ameri- can loans to foreign countries is re- garded as conditional upon arrange- ments for payment of war debts due the United States by the nations con- cerned. OPERATORS FIGHT COLORADO MINERS Owners Move to Halt Strike Activity as Walkout Is Held lllegal. By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo,, November 11.— Efforts of striking Colorado coal miners to gain State recognition for petitions stating their demands today found the workers aligned against the operators, with the mine owners pro- testing that the walkout was illegal because it was called by Industrial Workers of the World. This, the operators maintain, pre- cludes any recognition by the State, because a strike does not exist in a legal sense. George Taylor of the State Indus- trial Commission supported the mine owners with the announcement the State can act only in disputes between employers and employes and that the strikers do not hold the status of employes. Miners in the southern field, how- ever, planned to continue circulation of petitions, even though threatened with arrest by operators on charges of trespassing. Meanwhile, strike leaders, including several Industrial Workers of the World officials, who were arrested in a successful drive to stop picketing, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in Federal Court here demand ing their immediate release. Despite the concerted movement for better pay and shorter hours, many miners continued to return to work and several of the larger properties reported production near normal. —c e, War Dead Silently Saluted.

MASKED MAN KILLS TWO INGANG FEUD Gunman Slays Foes in Cafe and Escapes—Two Oth- ers Wounded. By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, 111, Notember (1. —A masked executioner of the un- derworld entered a cafe here last night, slew two members of what police think was a rival bootlegging gang, left two others wounded and escaped with a companion in an au- tomobile. The death sentence of the gang- sters was carried out without cere- mony by shotgun.” Robert Aeillo, 23, and Frank Aeillo, 20, brothers, were shot and killed as they sat playing cards. Vitto Lapacola, 28, and Lee Meachum, 26, tneir companions at cards were seriously wounded. The slaying scene was within & block of the police station. Hearing shots, a detective ran to the restau- rant in time to see the slayer and his companion disappear in an auto- mobile carrying a Missouri lcense. The only witnesses were several woman patrons of the place, but they were unable to offer much help to officers. Police believe the slain men were members of a bootlegging gang, whose operations extended from here to Chicago and St. Louis. Sam_Aeillo, brother of the slain pair, left the cafe a few minutes before the killer arrived. Tony, an- other brother, is now facing a murder charge " here. A nephew, Jasper Aeillo, was shot and killed in front of his home last Summer and an uncle of the brothers was reported killed in St. Louis yesterday. Fbdaan LINDBERGH URGES U. S. REGULATION OF ALL FLYING (Continued from First Page.) enough experienced pilots to meet the rapidly increasing demand for their sorvices, New men must be trained and schools have been established for their training. In these schools lies the greatest menace confronting avia- tion. “Young America wants to fly and is going to fly. Thousands of young men are entering and preparing to enter aviation schools. Most of them have limited finances and consequently must enter a school which has a small fui- tion fee. nfortunately there are many of these Institutions operating today and often graduating students with less than 10 hours of fying training. These graduates must find some way to con- tinue flying and, since they have not money enough to rent or buy a plane, they must also earn at least their ex- penses as they fly. Confidence Lacking. “This situation resuits in inexperi- enced pilots carrying passengers for hire, often under adverse conditions, in flights which really should be under supervision as part of their training. Even if an accident is averted during the first 100 or 200 hours, the pilot still lacks much of the knowledge and technique of the art of flying which should have been learned during the training period. ““We have surprisingly few accidents on our airlines and with our experi- enced operators, but we read only too often of crashes which upon Investiga tion are found in almost every instance to have resulted from inexperience and lack of judgment on the part of the pilot. “Apparently the only method of combating the existing situation is first through regulation of fyins schools and second through regulation of the qualifications required of a pilot engaging in commercial flving and especially in passenger carrying. “The Department of Commer through the Bureau of Aeronauti is regulating interstate flying ve successfully, but it has no control over flying activities within individual States, and, of course, the student pilot confines himself to the borders of his own State during his most dangerous period. Increasing Safety. “During the two and a half decades of its existence, aviation has pro- gressed toward ever-increasing safeiy. “The next advance will come through regulation of air activities, including certain minimum require- ments of flying school courses, but before extensive regulation can pe- come effective the Department of Commerce must be given the right to regulate all fiying activities instead of interstate traffic only. “Either through Federal or individ- ual State action we are in need of uniform flying regulations throughout the Union. ¥ “A number of States have adopted Department of Commerce regulations, but the majority have eithér no re<a lations whatsoever or have enacted special rules which will in the end only serve to retard aeronautical d- velopment.
