Irgram had set last October 21 as Ligenza's death date and Mais was to have been exe- cuted a few weeks later. This concludes, for the second time, the round up of the gang’s machine gunners, robbers, cracksmen and auto- mobile thieves, who shot, plundered and blundered through the District, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina for more than a year. | It was a woman, Washington police said, wio in the end tripped up Mais and Legenza, the last living members of the old gang at large. She was Mais’ sweetheart, 35-year-old Marie McKeever, who was ordered out of Richmond about the time revolvers were smuggled to the killers in jail. Woman Also Arrested. ‘The woman was arrested last night after she had been trailed to a New York Hospital on a visit to Legenza. ‘The latter was under treatment for two broken legs received in a gun battle with Philadelphis. police at ‘Wayne Station December 13. Neither Legenza nor the woman offered re- sistance. According to the Associated Press, Mais was surprised at 3:30 o'clock this morning in an apartment at No. 8 Manhattan avenue and subdued be- fore he could reach for the .38-caliber automatic which lay in bed Beside him. Police say Mais and Legenza since their escape had organized another mob of hoodlums suspected in a num- ber of pay-roll robberies in Philadel- phia. Two alleged running mates of the doomed pair, Martin Farrell, 2i 2nd Edwin Galee, 23, were seized in a midtown New York Hotel yesterday morning, according to Frank Fay, chief of the Justice Department’s op- eratives in New York. Fay said the arrest of the five “eradicates, as far as we know,” the new gang. The justice official added that after Legenza and Mais escaped they robbed Government armories in Baltimore and Norristown, Pa., to ob- tain weapons. Suspected in Kidnaping. They also were suspected of the kid- naping last November of William Weiss in Philadelphia. Ransom of $8,000 was paid for his return, but ‘Weiss is still missing. Fay said the arrest of the despera- does was accompanied “by the usual zcuffing, but it was not necessary to fire a shot.” Mais and Legenza had frequently eluded police of several cities sincs thelr escape. Fwice last month Mais escaped officers in a series of raids made on various Philadelphia houses. In one house police found an arsenal of rifles, sawed-off shotguns and ma- chine guns said to have been stolen from Norristown. The new gang was blamed for the $4,000 pay roll hold-up of an office of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. last October, and the $47,000 robbery of the office of the Philadelphia Elec- tric Co. last month, according to the Associated Press. In the Philadelphia gun fight with the mobsters Mais and Legenza made clean get-aways, although Legenza broke both legs leaping down an em- bankment. Police, however, captured two members of the gang, who later Tegeived long prison sentences. . Edgar Hoover, chief of the Bureau of Investigation, announced this morn- ing that Mais and Legenza would be arraigned in New York on Federal charges of robbing the National Guard Armory at Hyattsville and transport- ing stolen property across State lines.

NEW YORK, January 18.—In a | simple ceremony, without flowers or attendants, Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dall daughter of the President, and John Boettiger, former Washington cor- respondent of the Chicago Tribune, were married today at the Roosevelt town house on East Sixty-fifth street “They had parental blessings and the President telephoned his con- gratulations from Washington,” Mrs Franklin D.

The marriage culminated one of ‘Washington's pet romances, but it did not come as & surprise to the Presi-| dent’s family, Mrs. Roosevelt said.

Even Mrs. Roosevelt did not know where the couple went on their honey- moon. ve no more idea than the man in the moon,” she said, smiling. “But John has a job here and I expect they will be back Monday or Tuesday.” Was it a surprise, she was asked. The President’s wife shook her head thoughtfully, then said: Ceremony Performed in Library. The ceremony was performed in the spacious, high-ceilinged library of the East Sixty-fifth street residence by General Sessions Judge J. Frederic Kernochan. “It was the usual ceremony per- formed by the city clerk.” he said. “As you know, the word ‘obey’ is not in- cluded in the clerk’s reading.” Only members of the immediate family, including Mrs. James Roose- velt, sr.. the President’s mother at- tended the wedding. The only two not there were James Roosevelt, in Doctor’s Hospital in Boston, and Franklin, jr., whose examinations at Harvard prevented his attendance. ‘The others in addition to the Presi- dent’s ‘wife and mother, were Mrs. James Roosevelt, jr.; Mr. and Mrs. { Elliot Roosevelt, John Roosevelt and Harry Hooker, an intimate of the family.

Doughton said every effort would be made to “expedite legislation, but it looks like it'll take two or three weeks to finish the hearings.” He had planned to call Secretary Perkins to testify Monday morning, but she said she had a previous out- of-town engagement. “She promised to send somebody up to help us get started,” Doughton said. Silent on Rival Hearing. Doughton declined to express an opinion about the fact the Senate | Finance Committee would start hear- ings on the same bill Tuesday. Some other members had said they thought the Senate should wait until the House finished the bill, since the House must vote on the measure first. The omnibus bill includes old age pensions, unemployment insurance and other protections against what President Roosevelt terms “the haz- artis” of life. Members Confer. Doughton and Representatives Vin- son, Democrat, of Kentucky, and Cooper, Democrat, of Tennessee. who are members of the Ways and Means Committee, conferred this morning to outline the program. The chairman said there was only a slight possibility, if any, that his committee would turn the bonus bill over to a subcommittee and let it conduct hearings concurrently with the social security study in answer to contentions that an attempt was be- ing made to delay the bonus. Despite signs that strenuous efforts will be made to change major features of President Roosevelt's social security program, Democratic leaders predicted | it would go through “promptly” and | essentially unaltered. Driving for quick action so States can act while 44 Legislatures are in session, House leaders were said to be prepared to curb any revolting blocs by drastic rules if such a step is deemed necessary. Bill Lauded and Hit. Praise and complaints mingled in the reaction to what the President told Congress was a measure to pre- vent and alleviate “the dreadful con- sequences of economic insecurity.” The praise ranged from a remark by Senator Robinson, Democratic leader, that the program would “mark a not- able advance in the improvement of living conditions,” to the statement of Representative Fish. Republican, of New York, that “I hope no liberal- minded Republican will find fault with such a humanitarian program of social welfare.” Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, found unsatisfactory the plan to have the Federal Government con- tribute $15 a month to $30 Federal- State pensions for those now aged and needy. “I am not satisfied to make an out- lay of nearly a billion dollars for armaments and $15 for old age,” he said. The Townsendites, with their plan to pay $200 a month to the aged, registered strong opposition. Also. a movement was known to be in the making among some Senators to redraft the Townsend bill to offer persions ranging from $50 to $90, financed by a Federal sales tax. Conservatives Doubtful, In more consefvative quarters some complaint was heard that the at- tempt to aid the aged, jobless mothers and children and to improve public health was too sweeping Eepresenta- tive Eaton, Republican, of New Jersey, called it “too big a dose to take at one swallow” and raised the ques- ticn whether it wouidn't “dry up the fountain of personal &nd private charity.” Though the administration plan calls for Federal exoeaditures of more than $98,000,000 the first year snd $217,000,000 annually for several years after that, there were ind:cations that when the legislativn introduced by Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York, and Representative Lewis, Democrat, of Maryland, is rounded into final shape, these figures may be altered. i A tangle in the House over what committee should handle the legisla- Labor Committee had thought his (Continued on Page 8, Column 2.] SOCIAL SECURITY PLAN Commissioner Allen Approves Ob- Jectives of President and Pretty- as proposed yesterday by President Roosevelt in his message to Congress.
