Rome. 675‘ THE EVENING JANUARY 6 15 DAY “Swiss Guard” Dolls Are| Among Those Most in Demand This Year. B the Associated Press. | ROME, December 25.—The Roman | father with a large family, or the| Roman uncle with a flock of nephews | | and nieces, can well be envied by his | counterparts in the rest of the Christian | world in the toy-buying season. | For while lots of little Romulas and | BMuliss receive Christmas presents from | roting parents and relatives, their real | day for toys does not come until the Feast of the Epiphany, on January 6. So if the harassed papa or distraught | bachelor uncle should forget that drum, | steam engine or toy airplane. he has plenty of lime in which to make good. Brisk Trade in Dolls. | Among the toys in most demand this year were marvellously clad “Swiss | Guard"” dolls, decked in’the papal uni- | form. a miniature medieval halberd | went with each. thus adding to their destructive properties, Dolls in the peasant costumes of the country re- glons, often taken home by American tourists as souvenirs, experienced a | brisk trade. Santa_Claus does not operate in | Instead, the Italian child gazes | at the image of the infant Jesus, laid in his manger crib, which is shown in | church. | Large Congregation Gathers. | Of the evening celebrations, of course, | ‘the outstanding cvents in this city of | 400 churches are the midnight masses, each a glory of music, lights and color. Perhaps the most popular is that cele- | brated in the famous Church of Santa | Maria Maggiore atop the Esquiline Hill. There a great congregation gathers long before the hour set. For Santa Maria is credited with possessing as its most | prized relic a piece of the original | cradle of Bethlehem, which in its silver | setting is exhibited at the mass for the | veneration of the faithful. | At the American Church of Snnta} Susanna, next door to the United States embassy in the Piazza San Bernardo, Christmas carols are sung in English. PARTY IS CLIMAXED BY FATAL SHOOTING! Insurance Salesman Is Shot in Chi- | cago Hotel Room—Guest Is Believed Slayer. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 25.—A fatal | shcoting early today brought to an | abrupt end a Christmas eve party in lsl}de Paradise Arms Hotel on the West e. Albert Senoff, 35, insurance salesman, was found lying on the floor of his room, a bullet hole through his ab- domen. He died a half hour later in a hospital without making a statement. Police believe Senoff was shot by one of his guests during an argument. The floor of two adjacent rooms, which Senoff had reserved yesterday, were strewn with glasses, empty bot- tles and food. Two .45-caliber pistols were found in a corner. Senoff’s guests fled after hotel guests on that floor who heard the shot had called the house physician. The Paradise Arms was the scene of another slaying about a year ago. David | Sher, owner and manager, was shot and | killed during an argument with James Rowley. Rowley now is serving a 14- year prison term for the killing. 183 UNDER ARREST IN NEW YORK DRIVE Police Present City With Ealborate | Assortment of Suspects for Christmas. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 25.—The New York Police Department today made the city a Christmas present of one of the most elaborate assortments of suspected criminals ever rounded up in Father Knickerbocker's little colony of 6,000,000 souls. One hundred and eighty-three prison- ers, collected in a week end drive by the police under the spur of their new com- missioner, Grover A. Whalen, appeared in the line-up at headquarters for in- spection by 500 detectives. The throng of suspects included hold- up men, speakeasy proprietors, boot- leggers and burglars. When each had his turn on the little platform in the headquarters gymnasium the entire band was hustled off to Magistra‘e Courts for arraignment on various | charges. Inspection and questioning of the suspects by detectives revealed that many had records, and in most cases these were held without bail over the holiday. When the line-up had dispersed Commissioner Whelan praised the po- lice for their work and wished the regi- ment of detecti a merry Christmas.

KINGSVILLE, Ontario, December 25. —Pushing a 14-foot skiff across nearly three miles of thin ice on Lake Erie yesterday, Edward McLean and Edward | Field of Kingsville rescued Willlam Fox of Kingsville and Edmund Rowe of Cleveland, Ohio, who had been ma- rodned in an icebound cabin cruiser without food or fire since early Satur- day. dawn Sunday, but efforts to reach the two men, who were secen walking on the ice, were delayed because all the small boats were locked up for the Winter and no tug capable of breaking the ice was available. This morning McLean and Field set out with a light flat-bottomed boat and succeeded in pushing it within half a mile of the cruiser, where they were met by Rowe and Fox. One of Fox's feet had been crushed when it was caught between the ice and the motor boat #s his partner rammed the craft a~ainst the ice barrier.
