B the Associated Prass. CHICAGO, May 0.—False friends, ot open foes, were designated today in 2 new police theory as the executioners of the three Sicilian gangsters, Scalisi. Anselmi and Guinta, at Hammond, Ind.. | yesterday. On what the theory was based officers were secretive. It appeared, however. | that they might be in possession of definite information, because the recon- struetien of the erime was in detail, even to the number of persons who took part in the triple slaving. The slaying of John Scalisi, Albert Anselmi and Joseph Guinta, according to the new conjecture, followed a friendly gathering of the trio with four friends at a roadhouse in Indiana near the Illinois line, The seven had gath- | section of the Army War College. {OF AMERICAN PA |Faced Foch Calmly, but Res- olutely, With Insistence on Purpose. {ALLIES WEVNTVTO WILSON 'President Left Decision to General, Who Finally Car- ried His Point. | By the Assocatea pre ] istmas day message from Sec- | retary Baker to Gen.

For the moment they forgot their own safety, believing the dispute in no involved them. Guns had been drawn, apparently to be used among the four | men who seemed to pay no attention to the other three. Before Scalisi, Anselmi and Guin'a, could realize there was treachery, th> guns were turned | upon them, and they were killed. H The bodies of Guinta and Anseimi were loaded into a coupe parked out- gide. Scal'si's body was taken in the Jarger ear of the killers.

They | pointed out that the killing of S alist | and Anselmi, the Damon and Pythias | among Chicago gunmen, would have been virtually impossible except for per- sons having their confidence. These two, as well as Guinta, were constantly alert to the danger of assassination, and took elaborate precautions against it. It seemed to police to be most unlikely that the three could have been lured | into Indiana under any pretext by any one having connections with a hostile | | ang. F2IF this theory be accepted, the previ- ! ous belief that the Kkillings were avenge the massacre of seven gangsters here in February would have to be abandoned. Several Other Deaths Cited. In support of the first theory, it was pointed out that control of Chicago | Sicilian _strength, through the local branch of the Unione Siciliana. has re- sulted in several deaths by violence in | recent months. Tony Lombardo, re-) puted to have been the real power in) the unione, was assassinated’ last Fall, | and s few months later his successor, Joe Lolordo, met a gangster death. Scalis!, it now develops, was probably the actual authority behind both lead- ers. He did not regard it as “healthy” to take the leadership openly, but put first Lombardo, then Lolordo in nom- inal ‘control. Upon Lolordo’s death, Scalisi is believed to have groomed Guinta for the place. A rival faction plotted the triple murder. according to the new theory, in an effort definitely to take control of Sicilian affairs from a triumvirate they believed was re- sponsible for the extortion of large sums from many fellow countrymen living here. —_— TARIFF BILL SENT TO HOUSE DESPITE MINORITY WISHES | (Continued From First Page.) discretionary power in such instances to the Secretary of the Treasury.

President’s Desire Stated. l “The President desires * * * you to| have full authority to use the forces at | your command as you deem wise in con- | sultation with the French and British commanders in chief.” On January 8, Pershing answered: “Have expressed willingness to aid 1n‘ any emergency, but do not think good | reason yet exists for us to break up own divisions and scatter l!gmenu for service among French and British, e: o | Every endeavor .will be made to arrive at satisfactory agreement consistent with maintenance of our own national military identity.” I From then on to the eve of the Ar.| gonne battle, when he faced Foch with | the unwavering demand that American | forces be permitted to fight as an American army, under its own flag and | its own commanders, Pershing had no | rest from the demand for employment | of his troops in allied armies. | That final scene was August 30, with | Foch mapping a “concentric attack" on the wavering German lines, pivoted on | the Argonne drive toward Mezieres, but with Pershing's first army to be broken | into divisions or corps in French armies. 10 | Pershing resisted, demanding a front of | his own in the Argonne or anywhere else. | Ready to Go to Battle. “Do you wish to go to the battle?” on an American army, thundered af him. “Nost assuredly, but as an American | army,” Pershing answered without hesi- tation or Hheat. ‘When Pershing, 10 days later, won his point the French generalissimo and the American commander were .x-ln on the best of terms. In their 1 conference as to this decision, Foch d: id: “I have never doubted the senti- ments which animate you.” Thus it came that despite the months of disagreement from January to September in the last year of the war, these two commanders were again as they were in March, when Pershing rushed to Foch, new-made generalissi- mo, o offer him American troops to do | with “as you choose in the mighty bat- tle” precipitated by the German assault on_the British front. Yet in between these dates in March and September there was unending friction and stern insistence by Persh- ing upon allied acceptance of the prin- ciple that there should be created an American army on an American front. Time and again the Army monograph tells in detail of postponements in ac- complishments of his plans to gather his first army together under his own direct command. Army Finally Assembled.

His homeward journey was threatened by an eagle 3 at the fourteenth, getting down with drive, brassie and two-yard wutt. He played magnificent outward | on his second at the first hole, the American_ pitched to within a foot of the hole for a birdie 4. At the second he was on in two and needed two putts | for a par 4.

He seemed to hit his | brassie wrongly at the ninth, but the low flying shot rested only a foot off the green and he putted to within two feet of the cup and sank the next for a par 4 and 33. A good part of the drama surround- ing Hagen's record-breaking effort was concentrated around the eighteenth hole. Needing a 4 for a 67 and a new record in_British open championship golf play. Hagen sent his iron shot dead to the pin. It bounced two yards away and hit the fluttering flag. Then it rolled to within a foot of the edge of the green. Hagen boldly putted from 45 feet and sent the ball almost over the opening. It stopped a yard away and he holed out amid great applause from the 3,000 spectators. “What's This Fuss About?” “What's all this fuss about?” Hagen asked. “The championship has just started. Despite his nonchalant manner, it was evident that Hagen was well pleased with himself. 1In fact he couldn’t refrain from doing a Ilittle dance of joy on his way toward the clubhouse.
