GANG KILLS THREE IN RAID ON STORE; FOURTH MAY DIE Owner of Grocery in Pitts- burgh Suburb, His Wife and Customer Slain. By the Associated Press PITTSBURGH, October 4.—A woman and two men were shot and killed and another man was wounded probably fatally today when gangsters’ guns were fired five times in a little grocery store in Braddock, a suburb. Two men fired with deadly precision to kill Joseph Lobianco, proprietor of the store, his 27-year-old wife, and Louis Tomano, 70, a customer. Lobian- co’s brother, Michael, 28, was wounded so seriously he was not expected to live. Residents of the neighborhood said three men drove up to the store shortly after 9 am, and while one remained at the wheel of their automobile the other two entered the store. Shots were heard and the gunmen ran out, leaped into the automobile and sped away. Pedestrians ran into the store and found Lobianco dead with a bullet wound in the abdomen. His wife was wounded similarly. She and Tomano died a skort time later. Lobianco opened store three weeks ago. County detectives believed that the shooting resulted from emmity caused by liquor dealings involving Lobianco or_j over Mrs. Lobianco. ‘The officers began a search for a red sedan. An automobile of that description was used by the slayers. ‘The machine was reported found later in North Braddock. —_— EDMOND DU PONT TAKES o ’ KANSAS GAS FIELD JOB Son of Wilmington Capitalist Dons Overalls to Work for Pipe Line Company.

LEAGLEASSENRLY EADSSESSIONWITH SPEEG BY CECL Veteran British Statesman Makes Plea for Peace Through Kellogg Pact. By the Assoclated Press. GENEVA, October 4.—The eleventh Assembly of the League of Nations ad- Jjourned today after wrestling earnest- ly for three and a half weeks with pressing world problems. Viscount Cecil, British representa- tive, in an address before the closing session pleaded with the gathering of statesmen to renew their efforts for peace. . His address was in support of the amendments to the Covenant of the League to make it conform to the Briand-Kellogg anti-war pact, all of which failed of agreement this session. Suggesting that this might be his last appearance before the League, the elder- ly statesman cited the Shearer case as one evidence that “powerful vested in- ferests” are working in support of war as a laudable institution. Backs Briand Charge. He recalled a recent statement of Aristide Briand to women gathered here that armament makers are opposing measures for peace. was true, he said, declaring that no one could doubt this powerful support for war who had attended the Geneva three-power naval conference and knew of the later revela- tions that “the steel interests in one country” had employed an agent to estroy efforts at agreement. A spirit of profound seriousness rather than hopeful enthusiasm prevail throughout the Assembly session, which saw repeated attacks upon world eco- nomic depression and renewed efforts to_hasten world disarmament. Franco-Italian naval differences and the German nationalistic resurgence cast their shadows upon the deliber- ations of more than half a hundred nations who participated in the Assem- bly. While never reaching a stage of cheerful optimism, the deliberations were marked with frank speaking and pro- fessed willingness to face facts, which some of the delegates predicted would bear fruit later. Attacking with vigor its chief problem of disarmament, the Assembly author- ized the preparatory commission to complete a draft treaty at the Novem- ber meeting and expressed hope that the general disarmament conference might be convened by 1931. ‘Wants Full Preparation. By terms of the resolution the As- sembly requested the Council to call this conference “as soon as possible,” feeling that it would be dangerous to fix the date until full preparation has been made. In a search for means to relieve the world’s economic crisis the Assembly urged that efforts be made for con- certed action and that a world-wide inquiry be made into the course, phases and causes of the prevailing depression. ‘The Assembly during the session just (Continued on Page 2’ Column 4.)

Admiral Billard, in a statement to- day, explained that the investigation shows “that the death of Pratt was an unfortunate accident that was the outcome of a peculiar and unusual combination of circumstances.” He explained that Olmstead, in charge of a boat on patrol, found an- (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.)

Tighe of 2701 Four- teenth street, Washington, drove over- ,board here early this morning in a sedan bearing a District of Columbia license plate No. E-5053. He apparently was about 30 years old. The car went overboard shortly after 2 o'clock at the end of Water street, which is deserted at that time of the morning. Divers from the Norfolk Navy Yard brought up the body shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. No Witnesses to Plunge. A hotel key found in his pocket led to the discovery that he had been reg- istered at the Atlantic Hotel here under the same name as the one on the auto- mobile registration card. ‘There were no witnesses to the actual plunge of the car off the dock into about 30 feet of water. S. J. Britt of Portsmouth, a watchman, sald that a few minutes before he saw the car dis- appear in the direction of the dock, the driver had nearly run overboard at an- fif;;ur entrance, but had stopped in €. ’ Several police officers had notice the same machine cruising around in the waterfront section.

By the Associated Press. | The Department of Justice today continued its investigation of charges by Ralph S. Kelley that the Interior Department had erred in its handling of Colorado oil shale lands, while Kel- ley remained silent. . Assistant Attorney General Seth W. | Richardson, conducting the inquiry {into the claims of the former General | Land Office chief at Denver, said in the | absence of specific charges he was checking all recent oil shale cases one | by one. If jany appear questionable, he .will take them to the Interior Department and trace them through. Chairman Nye of the Scnate Lands Committee, who yesterday said he be- lieved Kelley “thoroughly justified” in his actions, said today he would follow the Department of Justice investigation ‘md offer whatever co-operation he Waits for Inquiry. “There is nothing I nor any Senator can do until this mvestigation is com- pleted,” the Senator said. “I have every | reason to believe a full and complete | inquiry will be made.” Nye has discussed the case with Rich- ardson, a fellow North Dakotan and a | personal friend. He said yesterday if the Department of Justice did not make a complete inquiry he would introduce a resolution in the Senate calling for an investigation. Kelley, whose resignation submitted to Secretary Wilbur last Sunday was declined, indicated today he would answer a statement by the Interior mreury yesterday directed against Wilbur stated only 50 patents had been issued from the Denver office and approved by the Interior Department during his administration. He said all these had been approved by Kelley himself, adding that for each patent issued more than 100 similar patents had been repossessed by the Govern- ment as defaulted. “False Impression.” He contended also Kelley had given a “false impression” concerning the value of Colorado oil shale lands. Al- though capable of producing 40,000, 000,000 barrels of oil worth $1 a barrel, he said, the cost of its extraction would be around $3 a barrel, thereby making ifinctfion uneconomic at the present e. Secretary Wilbur, who had been charged by Kelley with failure to end alleged favoritism to large oil companies displayed by Interior secretaries during the past five years in the disposal of the Colorado lands, in a statement later expressed belief that Kelley had fallen into “designing hands of those Wwho could use him to their advantage.” Wilbur’s Statement. “Ralph S. Kelley, in charging me with ‘attempts to placate and appease the oil interests at the expense of the rights of the public’ must base his charges on my official acts, more than three-fourths of which were taken upon his recommendation,” Wilbur said. “Of the 62 claims that have gone to patent since March 4, 1929, when this admin- istration came into office, 50 had come from the Denver office and had been passed on by Kelley himself. These 62 patents, according to a summary sup- plied by the General Land Office, plus two now approved but not yet issued, cover 38,000 acres.
