. 4 T 5 0IE N DETRONT | -~ RACKET WARFARE| Unidentified Body, Two Po- lice, Two Italians, Toll of Gun Battles. Br the Assoclated Press. ‘ DETROIT, Mich, June 2—Gang- sters’ guns, breaking into activity after ; several weeks of quiet, took five lives in the metropolitan area during the ! yeek end, two of the victims being olicemen, who were shot down from an automobile which they stopped in their inyestigation of a hit-run acci- dent. ! The fifth victim, an Italian who was not immediately identified, was sent to his death with four bullets in his_head and body at daybreak today. Police connected this killing with_the shoot- | ing of two Italians in a fish market | Saturday afternoon. ‘The shots awakened Ira Berendt and his wife, who live at Nine Mile road and + Jerome street. They found the body. The policemen, members of the force of Grosse Pointe Park, an exclusive residential _district, were believed to have been killed by rum-runners. Two men were held in connection with this crime. A third suspect, arrested with & revolver in his ket, was able to convince police he had nothing to do with it. The dead officers, described by their | chief as the “best men in the depart- ment,” were Erhardt W. Meyer, 28, and Claude Lanstra, 24. Meyer and Lanstra were sent out to look for a car which knocked down and | seriously injured Mrs. Ina Piacso, 56, ! of Highland Park. Half a block from | the Grosse Point Park police station on } East Jefferson avenue, near the outlet of Lake St. Clair, where rum runners are known to land cargoes of liquor, the police car came upon an automobile apparently bearing license numbers of the car they sought. Meyer jumped *out to question its occupants. Men in the car began firing as he appoached, and Patrolman Meyer fell, shot through the head. Lanstra opened fire, but in a few seconds slumped over the wheel of the police car, shot three times in the head and once under the heart. A witness said 35 shots were fired. Detectives of the Detroit Italian squad were called in. During Sunday they found a bullet-pierced car with the re- ported license number and arrested Frank Demercurio, in whose garage it was located, his father Sam, and Frank Salanone. The men are held for ques- tioning. « , Detectives said they found gangland deserted Sunday. ' There had been a double slaying Saturday night and police sought to connect the two crimes. Gaspardl Scibilia and Sam Parrino were shot in what officers said they thought was a rum-runners’ feud. Thus far the only connecting link is the fact that the bullets which took the lives of the patrolmen are of the same caliber as those which killed the hoodlums. Detroit detectives saw a connection between the fifth killing and the slay- ing Saturday afternoon of Gaspere Scibilia and Samuel Parino, who were shot by two men as they sat at lunch in the rear room of a fish market on Ver- nor Highway east. Scibilia was killed instantly and Parino died several hours later in Receiving Hospital. He had been conscious but gave no information to_police. Police were unable to trace the con- nections of the two victims, one of ‘whom, Scibilia, had $400 in cash in his pockef. They had been arrested on va- rious charges but never convicted.

(Continued From First Page.) ity of whom are by no means characters of the underworld, the miserable hovels have been “home.” Previous legislation seems not to have given due considera- tion to these complicating factors. The present measure proposes a grad- ual process of eliminating the alleys to extend over 10 years, with provisions which will avoid wholesale evictions and radical destruction of property values. It has been framed with due apprecia- tion of the mistakes of the past. ‘The first notable attempt to get folks out of the alleys followed a survey in 1896, which showed that the buildings were unfit for human habitation. The next year the Washington Sanitary Im- provement Co. was organized for the purpose of providing better homes for alley residents. Leaders in this move- ment were Gen. George M. Sternberg, formerly surgeon-general of the Army; Jm Joy Edson and Dr. George M. Kober. ‘The plan was to erect good houses with low rentals for colored people which, it was felt, by creating vacant street property would automatically move folks out of the alleys. The back- ers assumed that families wouldn’t live in these poor shacks when they could get better homes “on the street” for the same or lower rent. ‘The new houses proved a blessing for thrifty, intelligent colored workers, who immediately took advantage of the low rents. But the alley people did not move up to take their places. Strangely Noted Ethnologist Is Buried in Abbey Mausoleum in Ar- lington County. Funeral services for Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, noted scientist, who died at his home in Forest Glenn, Md. Saturday, were conducted at the residence today at 10 oclock. Interment was in the ebbey Mausoleum, Arlington County, 8. Dr. Fewkes, who was 79 years old, was former chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution and had given many years of service to American ethnology and archeology, being considered a leader in both flelds in this country. Dr. Fewkes was particularly known for his research work among the In- dians, having obtained m%ch valuable and authoritative information regarding the “or al Americans” of the past and present.

RS | the conversion of inhabited alleys to enough the situation remained un: fected. It simply proved that folks can't be depended on to follow the economic line of least resistance. Some of them were tied to the alleys by sentimental associations. They ha been born there and lived there all their lives. They were stranded on the cultural level of the alleys and would be uncomfortable anywhere else. Others, of course, preferred to live in these con- aled, isolated places where they could ir own lives reasonably secure from the eyes of the police, get drunk as often as they wished, and be free from interference in their family relations. The alley was the natural home of the dive, and the dive habitant wanted to stay there. Roosevelt Ordered Study. Years later President Roosevelt ap- pointed & commission to study the al- leys, and voluminous reports were filed. Several laws are on the books affecting the alleys. The inspector of buildings | is authorized to order the destruction of unsafe structures, the Commission- | ers may refuse permits to repair build- | ings which have depreciated 50 per cent of their original value, the health officer can proceed against buildings | condemned as public nuisances, and | erection of new alley dwellings was pro- hibited by an act now superseded. Under these acts considerable prog- ress has been made. The worst of the old frame shacks have been demolished, including some originally erected hur- riedly as barracks during the Civil War. Sewers, water mains and street lights | have been extended into alleys. The population has been reduced from 25,000 to about 11,000. Here it seems likely®o remain until new legislation is enacted. “The remaining dwellings,” says a re- cent report by John Ihlder, housing ex- pert, to the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, “are of fairly | substantial structure, and the demands | of business under private initiative re- | sult in only a slow and irregular con- version at any distance from the prin- cipal pusiness center. Unless the block interiors can be dealt with as a whole, | other and better uses, socially and eco- | nomically, promises to be slow and | halting.” The most ambitious effort to elimi- nate the alley dwellings to date failed through a peculiar combination of cir- cumstances and an adverse court de- cision. The first Mrs. Woodrow Wil- son was deeply affected by the plight of the alley people, to whom she had made many visits. On her deathbed she asked for legislation which would ! end these cesspools of immorality. Must Start All Over. ‘The law, enacted in September, 1914, provided that no alley buildings could | be used as dwellings after four years.| | The first enforcement date came in' 1918, when the Nation was in the midst | of the World War and Washington was | crowded to its capacity with Govern-| ment workers and military personnel. Enforcement was postponed until 1923. | This date again found Washington in | the midst of a housing shortage. There | ‘was nowhere for the alley folk to go. When the Commissioners finally at- tempted to enforce the law, they were restrained by ‘wo adverse court de- cisions, presumably due to a defect in the wording of the act itself. So the alleys are still with Washington—little the better for all the efforts made to improve them—and it is necessary to start all over again with legislation to do away with them. Under the pending legislation the re- moval of the people and utilization of | the alley property would extend over a long period. Folks are not to be “torn up by the roots” and replanted m a | new environment with which they ll’c' unfamiliar. The proposed law is con- cerned primarily with getting rid of the aliey colonies rather than with improv- ing living conditions. This second pur-~ result-getting publicity {The National Capital Press 4210-1213 D 8t. N.W. Phone National 0680 pose, however, is definitely in the minds of pre ents of the bill and measures a g taken to furthe; . 1t s proposed to purc! alfey prop- erty and evict the tenants only as suit- able vacant street houses are found at rents approximately equivalent. In- vestigations made by the housing com- mittee of the Washington Council of Social Agencles show that there are plenty of such houses in neighborhoods which will not be injured by the intro- duction of the alley people. The case is summed up as follows in a recent report to the National Capital Park and Planning Commission: “During the many decades that Con- gress and the District government have been dealing with the inhabited alleys, effort has been directed principally at curing certain obvious ills, such as in- sanitary conditions. The results have been disappointing because these efforts did not reach the root cause, which is that the alley dwellings are concealed. They constitute hidden communities in which disease, vice and crime flourish. It does not matter whether they breed criminals and persons diseased mental- ly, morally or physically, or whether they attract such rsons. Probably they do both. The facts are that they contain an undue proportion of these human liabilities and that, because of being hidden communities, they in- crease the difficulty of dealing with these human liabilities constructively. “Moreover, because they have no di- rect outlets, or have inadequate out- lets, the alleys do not have through ventilation. The wider ones are like cups into which the Summer sun pours lndnwhlch hold the heat night and ROBERTS ASSUMES PLACE ON BENCH Associate Supreme Court Justice Inducted as Suc- cessor to Sanford. By the Associated Press. Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia was inducted into office today as an associ- d | ate justice of the Supreme Court. en he had taken the oath, the bench again had its full membership of nine for the first time since February. Roberts succeeds the late Justice San- ford of Tennessee. Simple ceremonies, following a form laid down years ago, attended the as- cension of the new justice to the high- est_court. ‘The court room was crowded, Mrs. Roberts and their daughter, and a num- ber of friends from Pennsylvania com- ing to Washington to be present. Having taken the constitutional oath in the robing room nearby, Justice Rob- erts entered the court room at the end of the procession of the justices, head- ed by Chief Justice Hughes. After his assoclates took their seats on the bench and court was opened by the crier, the Chief Justice announced the appointment of Justice Roberts and his presence in court. Justice Roberts stood at the desk of Clerk Charles E. Cropley, who read the commission and administered the oath. Marshal Green then escorted Rob- erts to his seat on the extreme left of the bench and the court took up its routine business of delivering opinions. Roberts is 55. He made a national reputation as special Government coun- sel in the celebrated naval oil cases. Like Justice Sanford, his predecessor, he is a Republican. AMERICAN NAMED 0XFORD PROFESSOR 1$100,000 Fund Donated by Roch- ester Philanthropist to Meet Ex- penses, Association Reports. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 2—The Associa- tion of American Rhodes Scholars an- nounced yesterday that George Eastman, Rochester philanthropist and manufac- turer, hes given an additional $100,000 for the salary and expenscs of the George Eastman visiting professor at Oxford i University, England. The professorship was created last | year by Mr. Eastman with an initial gift of $200,000. In accepting the gift, Ox- ford authorities ruled that the chair be held by a distinguished American pro- fessor. The professorship is tenable for from one to five years, and the holder may be reappointed. ‘The first appointee is professor John Livingston Lowes, of Harvard Univer- sity, author of “The Road to Xanadu” and other po'ms. He will go to Oxford next Fall as a lecturer on poetry, at- tached to Balliol College. American electric motors are being used in South African mines.

Dr. David Allen Robertson, assistant director of the American Council on Education, has accepted the presidency of Goucher College, Baltimore, it was announced at the annual commence- ment exercises this morning. Dr. Robertson, formerly a professor of English at the University of Chicago, has taken a leading part in the experi- mental progress of higher education in the United States since coming to Washington, He was president of the Washington Federation of Churches last year, and took a leading part in the exposure of the large number of “degree mills” in ‘Washington which led to the present law governing the establishment of institutions of learning here. Dr. Robertson is the author of “Amer- ican Colleges and Universities,” the foremost manual of higher educational institutions in the United States, and has directed research projects which have had a far-reaching effect on educational methods. For several years he has headed a committee engaged in devising a method of personality mecas- urement of college students. Dr. Robertson is a member of the Cosmos Club, the Archeological Society of Washington, the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity, the Modern Language Asso- ciation and the American Association of University Professors. He was given the honorary degree of doctor of laws by George Washington University in 1922 and the degree of doctor of literature by Bucknell University in 1929. He represented the American Coun- cil on Education in an investigation of 50 universities throughout Europe and has made several trips abroad in the interests of American education. Dr. Robertson, whose home is.at 1869 ‘Wyoming avenue, left Washington last night to deliver the address at the twenty-fifth anniversary of the found- Tallahassee. ‘The Baltimore institution, Dr. Rob- ertson said in connection with his ac- ceptance, “affords a great opportunity for contributing to the progress of American education at a time when conditions of American life are chang- ing very rapidly and universities and colleges must wisely guide new develop- ments in education. Goucher College has been a leader in using new and high standards of admission and grad- uation.” The presidency of Goucher was left vacant by the death in January of Dr. Hans Froelicher, who had been acting president.

President Hoover today is back at the grind of his high office, looking espe- cially well and benefited after his stay over the week end in the quiet hills of Lycoming County, Pa. At 8:30 o'clock this morning the President arrived at the desk in his executive office, and with more than ordinary enthusiasm, entered upon the business of the day. He was stiff and weary from the hours of sitting when he stepped from his car at the White House at 6:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon after a 300- mile automobile trip, but after a night's sleep and a half hour of exercise in the grounds of the White House early this morning with his “medicine ball cab- inet” he was, according to the word great.” One of his first callers of the morning was Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia, who had arrived in Washington to take the oath of office as associate justice of was the first time the President and Mr. Roberts have seen each other since the latter's appointment. Roberts said afterward he had called merely for the purpose of paying his respects to the Executive and personally thanking him for the honor. Dr. Olaya Calls. Mr. Hoover was faced with a busy day, the feature of which was the formai visit this afternoon of Dr. Enrique Olaya, president-elect of Colombia. Upon his return to the White House Iate yesterday, Mr. Hoover was delighted to find Mrs. Hoover, who has been suf- fering from the effects of a fall in her proved. Her improvement during the past few days has been so marked that she will be able to preside as hostess on the occasion of a State dinner to Dr. Olaya tonight. This will be Mrs. Hoo- ver’s first apparance at a function of any kind at the White House since her injury. At 7 o'clock last night the President received Prince Don Alfonso of Orleans, cousin of the King of Spain, who ar- rived in this country as a passenger on the Graf Zeppelin and who brought to the President friendly greetings from the Spanish ruler. Prince Alfonso was received in an informal manner in the President’s suite on the second floor. After an ex- change of felicitations the President ex- pressed his appreciation of Prince Al- fonso’s greetings and asked his caller to convey to the King of Spain a similar greeting from him. Trip Interesting. Although somewhat long and tedious, the President’s motor ride back from Ogontz Lodge, the fishing camp of Jay Cooke of Philadelphia, was highly in- teresting and enjoyable. There were fairly good-sized crowds along the curbs of the streets of the many towns and villages through which the party wita motorcycle police escort passed, and the President was accorded enthusiastic greetings in all of them. Probably the most interesting occa- sion of the day’s motor trip was the stop at Liverpool, a little town on the banks of the Susquehanna River, where the President and his party attended re- ligious services at a Methodist churci. The coming of the distinguished wor- shippers was entirely unexpected and the commotion in the town and in the little church became grear. Services had commenced when the party presented itself, and although the minister, the Rev, H. L. Garrett, was surprised at the arrival of the President with the Governor of Pennsylvania, who was in the party, he continued with his services after a brief pause. Only 21 worshipers were in the church at the time of the President's arrival, but the news of his coming soon spread and in a few moments the church was packed. Rev. Garrett, in his prayer, asked for guidance for the Executive of the Nation and for the continuation good health and strength, and then followed with an expression of hope that spiritual guidance would be given the President. Stop at Harrisburg, The next stop made by the presi- dential party was at the governor's mansion at Harrisburg, where Gov. Fisher, who had been with the week end party. and Mr. Cooke, the host, left the group. Mr. Hoover visited the governor’s home for a few moments and then continued on his way. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the President reached the home of Henry P. Fletcher, former Ambassador to Italy and Mexico, in the outskirts of Greencastle, Pa. The party was entertained at lunch- eon at the Fletcher home and after- ward sat about chatting and resting until shortly after 4 o'clock, when the last lap of the homeward journey began. Mr. Hoover had hoped he would have time to visit Mercersburg College, not far from Greencastle, which is the home of Capt. Joel T. Boone, White House physician, who was one of the party, and where Delano Large, son of Mrs. Hoover's sister, is enrolled as a freshman, but it was too late and the idea was abandoned. The President, however, had an opportunity to see this young man, who had been in- vited by Mr. Fletcher to be one of the luncheon party. ‘What Study of Habits Shows.

By the Assoclated Press. Both sponsors and opponents of the Smoot-Hawley tari bill today claimed enough votes for victory as the Senate made ready for debate leading to ap- proval or rejection of the measure. The fate of the bill, now nearly a year and a half in preparation, hung upon two votes—these to come on the two sections of the conference report. The first to be voted upon, either late this week or early next, embodied the highly disputed flexible clauses, and the second the rate schedules. Chairman Smoot of the finance com- mittee expected to call the measure up fer discussion late today or early tomor-~ row, depending upon the time con- sumed by the debate on whether the Senate should override President Hoo- ver's veto of the Spanish War pensions’ ill. ‘The principal provision in dispute was the new compromise on emergency changes in the customs rates. Original- ly the Senate and House conferees agreed u an_arrangement under the United States Supreme Court. Thisd which the Tariff Gommission would recommend increafes or decreases, to become effective after 60 days unless disapproved or made operative sooner by the President. A point of order was raised against this agreement by Senator Barkley, Democrat, Kentucky, upon the ground that it embodied language used neither in the Senate nor House bills. This was sustained by Vice President Curtis, and the measure was returned to con- ference. ‘Thereupon the conferees adopted a provision similar to that of the exist- ing law, under which the President may proclaim effective or disregard rec- ommendations for rate changes made by commission. ‘The Democratic-independent Repub- lican coalition of the Senate originally adopted an amendment revoking en- tirely the President’s authority to make rate changes. The leaders of this com- bination today opposed the conference agreement. PRINCE ALFONSO LEAVES CAPITAL Predicts Regular Transatlan- tic Dirigible Lines in Radio Talk. Following a two-day visit in the Na- tional Capital, Prince Alfonso of Or- leans, first cousin of the King of Spain, one of the passengers on the Graf Zep- pelin, left the National Capital this afternoon in a Navy plane piloted by Lieut. J. J. Clark, executive officer at the Anacostia Naval Air Station, to board the dirigible for the return flight to Europe. The prince was flown here from Lakehurst, N. J, Saturday, by Lieut. Clark, following the arrival of the Graf, and was received by Presi- d:nfiz Hoover at the White House last night. In a radio address over the Columbia network, including Station WMAL, last night, Prince fonso predicted that there will regular transatlantic dirigible service ‘“very soon,” probably following the triangular soute of the old sailing ships from Europe to South America and the West Indies, thence to North America and back to Euro by a northern route, as determined g; the trade winds. ‘The prince broadcast his impressions of the Graf Zeppelin trip from the Spanish embassy, where he was the guest of Ambassador Padilla. The royal visitor voiced high praise for the abil- ity of Dr. Hugo Eckener. The prince described himself as “an aviator by profession” and also dis- played great familiarity with broadcast- ing methods, explaining that he had broadcast from airplanes in Europe. o Hawk and Pigeon Become Buddies.

THE BRIDE’S BOUQUET TARIFF APPROVED BY BEET GROWERS Telegram to President De- nounces Attempt to Be- little Farm Benefits. By the Associated Press. DENVER. Colo., June 2.-—Attempts to make the pending tariff bill appeal unfavorable to the American farmer were denounced yesterday by thc Moun- tain States Beet Growers' Marketing Association in a telegraphic protest tq President Hoover which urged passage of the measure. ‘The association, representing 4,000 farmers, expressed “disappointment in not receiving more adequate protection for the domestic beet sugar industry,” but nevertheless urged enactment of the bill into law. “Analysis of its schedules shows clearly that the pending measure 1 overwhelmingly in the farmers’ favor,” the message to the President said. Officials of the association say the farmers will receive approximately per cent of the tariff increases if t bill becomes a law, and that agric ture would receive almost 11 per cenf increase on ad valorem rates, while in« dustrial products would show an in. crease of only 31-3 per cent.
