EXTORTION PLOTS LAID T0 ACROBAT G-Men Claim Confession in Demands on Wealthy for $64,000. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 1.—J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation, announced last night the arrest of an unemployed acrobat on charges of attempting to extort & total of $64,000 from Harry Sinclair, the oil man, and six other prominent men and women. The man is Frank Vitolo, 33, of Yonkers, N. Y, who was taken into custody at Yonkers late yesterday and brought to the Federal building here where, Hoover said, he made a confession. Hoover said Vitolo would be prose- cuted on a charge of violating the Federal extortion law by writing threatening letters to Sinclair at his Great Neck, N. Y, home; to Col Douglas I. McKay, president of the New York Title Insurance Co.; Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Rice of Newport, R. I, wife of the explorer and philan- thropist, and to Mrs. Bernard E. Smith of Bedford Village, N. Y., wife of a wealthy New York broker. The Bureau head announced Sin- clair received two anonymous threat- ening communications postmarked August 10 and August 12, last. The latter communication contained a de- mand for $10,000 which was to be delivered on the night of August 16, by Sinclair's chauffeur. Hoover said the alleged extortionist did not ap- pear to obtain the sum demanded. Miami Letter Cited. Hoover said Vitolo wrote, in addi- tion, an extortion letter to Mrs. Rob- ert H. Montgomery of Cutler road, Miami, Fla, but said that charge would not be pressed against him. The Federal director quoted Vitolo #s telling him the “wild scheme had been concocted from information ob- tained from a detective magazine.” Hoover, who came here from Wash- ington to announce Vitolo's arrest, said several of the letters were signed with the notation “3 X,” and that in the letter to Mrs. Rice, the sender wrote “notify police and you forfeit your lives.” The Bureau of Investigation direc- tor charged Vitolo in addition with writing extortion letters to William R. Coe, New York broker, whose Long Island estate was robbed of $250,000 in jewelry last Summer. Hoover said Vitolo wrote Coe the Jewelry would be returned to him on | payment of $20,000. Held “Only a Chiseler.” Investigation by his agents had con- vinced him Vitolo had no part in the jewelry robbery, Hoover announced, saying Vitolo was “only a chiseler” in that case. “He was mixed up in several other cases,” Hoover said, “but we are charging him only with the extortion of Sinclair, McKay, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Rice. Vitolo was involved in an attempted extortion of $5,000 from Austin R. Gray, whose Newport, R. I, home was robbed of $17,000 worth of Jewelry last month.” Federal agents have trailed Vitolo since last January, when Hoover re- ported Vitolo wrote his first letter, addressed to Mrs. Montgomery, in- structing her “to have $5,000 ready Jor disposition.” In the Montgomery case, the Fed- eral director asserted Vitolo was cap- tured, held in custody and released when the United States Attorney in Miami declined to prosecute, in view of the fact that “Vitolo regretted his actions and had no prior criminal Tecord.” - Frane —_— (Continued From First Page.) disputes arising from rises in the cost of living. The government, in the case of strike trouble, could, with the appsoval of the National Economic Council, issue decrees forcing both sides to submit their troubles for solution. The government would have similar decree power, always with the council to check its actions, for altering and enforcing application of collective wage contracts and for revising prices of prime agricultural products. 6 Months’ Limit en Decrees. The decrees would be effective for not more than six months, and to become permanent would have to be enacted into law by Parliament. Minister of State Chautemps brought forward the substitute measures which held to actual devaluation, but denied government demands for complete de- cree power without an outside check. The compromise clause specified that persons guilty of taking advan- tage of devaluation to increase prices ‘unjustifiably will be punished by im- prisonment, fine, or both.

This committee was established by law promulgated last August 20. Pro- visions of the law, which include punishment of from six days to one month imprisonment and a fine of 100 to 5,000 francs, will be strictly enforced. Today the Bank of France, in its weekly statement, showed its gold re- | serves had dropped to 50,111,283.678 francs on September 25, the day the council of ministers decided upon devaluation. The discount rate re- mained at 5 per cent. The statement showed the country lost 2,580,478,207 francs in the week preceding the tripartite agreement on monetary equilibrium. After receiving the measure back | today, the Chamber of Deputies, by a show of hands, provided for restora- tion of veterans' pensions cuts and suspended their session to await a report of their Finance Committee on the compromise bill. MARK DEVALUATION OFFERED But Schacht Declares Power Must Pay Reich’s Price. BERLIN, October 1 (#).—Germany is willing to devaluate the mark as an aid to settling the troubled world eco- nomic situation, an authoritative source said today, if other powers are willing to pay the high compensating price which the Reich asks. That, in brief, a competent official commented, was the correct, authori- tative interpretation of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht’s statement yesterday to the directorate of the Reichsbank on the French monetary crisis. The purpose of the Reichsminister for Economics, it was said, in calling the special board meeting was to let the rest of the world know that if it desired a cheaper mark, it could get it by meeting German demands. The price, this source said, if the other powers want the mark devalued badly enough, is the solution of Ger- many's raw material problem—mean- ing return of the colonies lost at Ver- sailles, and a settlement in the Reich’s favor of its foreign debts. UNION BARBERS SET 50 CTS. FOR HAIR CUT Monday Is Designated as “Holi- day” for “Enforcement” of New Scale. Barbers' Local Union 239 has set next Monday as “barber’s holiday,” when the new standard price of 50 cents for hair cuts and 25 cents for shaves “will be enforced.” In an official announcement from the local it was explained that the action was taken on the recommen- dation of John J. Lloyd, vice presi- dent of the Journeyman Barbers’ In- ternational Union of America. Efforts will be made also to establish children’s hair cuts at 35 cents and to establish regular hours for barbers with a “$20 guarantee per week.” Shop hours are to be from 8 am. to 7 p.m. on week days and 8 am. to 8 pm. on Saturdays and days before holidays. Charles J. Bovello, chairman of the barbers’ Campaign Committee on the new schedule, stated that “for the past eight years 40 per cent of the barbers in Washington have been earning on an average of $8 per week. “Some barbers,” he said, “being the fathers of two or three children, had to fall on the hands of charity, and the re- maining 60 per cent have not earned enough to pay their honest debts.” A mass meeting is scheduled for October 8 to survey the results of the campaign.

The two vital centers are Madrid’s foodways to the Social- ist territory on the Mediterranean. Hundreds of refugees pouring into Aranjuez heightened the food prob- lem, depleting supplies of Madrid- bound convoys arriving hourly from Valencia, eastern seaport.

(Copyright. 1936, by the Asaocll.ed Press.) TOLEDO, Spain, October 1.—Per- sistent insurgents pounded a steel spearhead to within 20 miles of Ma- dried today as Socialist defenders retreated from Illescas. Advance patrols of one of -three surging Fascist columns drove strag- gling government militiamen from the town, 22 miles from the capital on the direct Toledo Madrid highway, and rolled on north. ‘Two additional insurgent divisions marched toward separate objectives: The first, operating from Toledo, pushed toward Aranjuez, important railway junction to the east and it- self only 28 miles. southeast of the capital. The other moved along the Magqueda-Madrid highway toward Na- val-Carnero, 20 miles southwest of Madrid. { “The back of the capital’s resistance | is broken,” asserted Gen. Jose Varels, commander of the southern Fascist forces in the campaign northward. Rebels Keyed for Battle. Insurgent officers, despite the ad- vance after the penetration at Iiles- cas, made ready for an engagement & short distance north, where Socialist troops were reported entrenched. The relentless Fascists reported government planes bombarded the marching columns at many points, in- cluding field headquarters at Maqueda. But the aim was bad, they said, and there were no victims. Gen. Varela characterized the gov- ernment’s defense in the Toledo sec- tor as “inactive.” He said his war- rios scattered the Socialist militiamen in small parties along the route from Toledo to the capital. Gen. Varela established his head- quarters in the luxurious hotel Cas- tilla, headquarters of the Socialists during their occupation of Toledo. While the few thousands of Toledo's 25,000 inhabitants who remained in the city surveyed the ruins still lit- tered with dead, Gen. Varela de- scribed the fall of the former Moorish capital. He Shelled Hospital. His 8,000 men, he said, took the city from 12,000 defenders, of which all but 5,000 organized troops were militiamen. “We met our greatest resistance just outside the city,” he said. “Our’men advanced fighting from house to house. They cleaned out the district with hand grenades. One hundred an- archists took refuge in San Juan Hospital, which we had to shell.” of Madrid would be relatively easy after the Fascist forces condolidated their positions for the attack. Arms Factory Unharmed. The Toledo arms factory was left inexplicably intact by the retreating government troops, who blew up only the city’s electric plant. Varela said Appointment of Gen.

BOLAND ASKS WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Claims Mrs. Lyddane’s Ac- quittal Automatically Made His Conviction Invalid. BY the Associated Press, BALTIMORE, October 1.—John Martin Boland, claiming that the acquittal of Anne M. Lyddane on a murder conspiracy indictment auto- matically made his conviction on a joint indictment invalid, petitioned a Baltimore City court for writ of habeas corpus yesterday. Boland was convicted in Montgom- ery Count in the Summer of 1935 of conspiring to murder Prancis Lyddane, the husband of Mrs. Lyddane. He was sentenced to serve three years and nine months in the House of Correc- tion. Mrs. Lyddane was indicted jointly with him for the same offense, but won a separate trial and a change of venue. She was tried in May, this year, at Hagerstown and acquitted. James Pugh, Montgomery County State’s attorney, said then he would ask a pardon for Boland on the ground that if Mrs. Lyddane was not guilty the man was also innocent. Nothing further was done toward freeing Boland then, however. Boland filed his petition through Attorney Leon A. Rubenstein. Judge Eugene O’Dunne set next Monday for A.P.Wirephoto. against Walter E. Quenstedt, warden of the House of Correction. Practically the same case was pre-' sented against Boland and against Mrs. Lyddane. Witnesses testified that the woman, secretary to a bank president and active in politics, sought to have Boland kill her husband. Boland's petition said that his con- viction became void when the woman was acquitted on the joint indictment. He also pointed out that charges against another man, indicted in the case, had been nolle prossed. Sticks to Hitch-Hiking. LIBERTY, Nebr.

By the Associated Press. [GHAI, October 1.— Heavy ls of Japapese marines took up positions in Shanghai's Hongkew (dis- trict today in an apparent renewal of guard duty for Japanese residents. Japanese officials declined to dis- cuss specific reasons. The enlarge- ment of the patrols came suddenly and without warning. A Japanese naval spokesman was represented as declaring the action was based on developments in the trial of the alleged slayers of a Jap- anese naval warrant officer, Hadeo Nakayama, who was fatally wounded in Shanghai November 10, 1935. The Japanese sources pointed out previous sensational developments in the trial had resulted in the killing August 10 of Kosaku Kayau, a Jap- anese employe of a trading company. They professed belief that if the Nakayama trial is finished today fresh anti-Japanese violence might break out, and therefore the patrols were established. U. 8, Flagship Arrives, American sailors and Marines, who arrived at Shanghai on the U. 8. 8. Augusta, flagship of the Asiatic fleet, were forbidden by Admiral O. G. Mur- fin, commander of the fleet, to enter the trouble zone. Chinese residents of the eastern sec- tion of the Chapei district, meanwhile, began moving into the International Settlement by foot, ricksha, cart and automobile, carrying with them per- sonal and household belongings. The movement recalled similar processions in 1932, when thousands attempted to enter the international zone during fighting between Japanese and Chi- nese troops in Chapei. ‘The Japanese marine forces had been reduced last week after first tak- ing control of the area in the Inter- national Settlement September 23.| ‘Their original orders resulted from the killing of one marine and wounding of two others by an alleged Chinese assailant, ‘Tokio Makes New Demands.

(Included in the demands was one for the withdrawal of the 29th Chinese Army from the Peiping area, and an- other for dismissal from North China’s government of all officials alleged to be anti-Japanese sympathizers, and in- stallation of Japanese inspectors in all northern schools. (The 29th Army, openly hostile, has declared repeatedly its opposition to any Chinese agreement by which its forces would be ousted from the terri- tory.

Text of Roos evelt Speech Tells West Virginia Audience State and Federdl Governments Work Hand in Hand in Interest of Conservation. By the Associated Press. ELKINS, W. Va, October 1.—Fol- lowing is the text of President Roose- velt's address here today at & Moun- tain State forest festival: The setting in which we are gathered today for this forest festival !t.‘urnl our thoughts toward conserva- lon. ‘This wonderland of natural beauty is at one and the same time a challenge and & justification. It demonstrates what can be done in the way of con- servation of our resources. It shows us how prodigal nature is in her gifts while at the same time it emphasizes the necessity for men to supplement nature’s work in order that the rich gifts which are ours may be brought to their fullest usefulness in the service of all mankind. The State of West Virginia is rightly proud of its glorious natural scenery, but the State also shows to us what happens when man flies in the face of nature. Today I have seen many squcre miles of splendid moun- tains which have been denuded of timber. I have seen yellow streams carrying eroded silt and soil from the steep slopes. S Peints to Co-operation. In this State, as in many others, we are proud of the growing con- sciousness of the people themselves that man'’s errors in the past must be corrected by man in the future. In this worthwhile effort the State and the Federal Government are working hand in hand. Here and hereabouts you see what can be done through the National Forest Service in co-operation with the work of the State conservation preserves; you have an opportunity to observe first hand the practical contribution to enlightened conserva- tion made by our C. C. C. camps and all of the other agencies whose ac- tivities are directed to the preserva- tion of our matchless resources here at the gateway to the Monongahela National Forest, No part of our conservation work is more important than the protec- tion of our wild life. It is & work into which we can all enter hcart and soul because there is no political partisanship in an activity whose ob- ject is to preserve and restore the life of our great out-of-doors. T am sure that those in this audience who are devotees of outdoor life, whether fishermen, hunters, natural- ists, campers or hikers will rejoice to know what has been done during the last three and one-half years to pro- tect and perpetuate our wild life. In/ the past it had been shamefully neg- lected and exploited. Provided Program. One of the earliest concerns of this administration upon assuming office was to provide a natural wild life restoration program and a policy that would make certain that the conserva- | tion of our wild animals, birds and fishes would thereafter take rank with | the conservation of the other great re- newable resources of the Nation. Plans to accomplish this had been | available for years, but they had been | in great part ignored. We evolved a national wild life conservation program which proposed to provide abundantly for the needs | of wild life by purchase and retire- ment of agricultural lands submarginal in character, by the purchase of other suitable lands and by making generous | allocations of public lands, all to be | set aside as sanctuaries. Allotments totaling $14,700,000 have been made from current emergency funds to support the wild life program —an amount greater than the total of all funds previously appropriated | for that specific purpose. In addition, I approved an act of Your Fireplace ‘Will Be Furnished Properly and Most Reasonably by D. L. Bromwell, Inc. 723 12¢h St. N.W.

Enacted Protective Laws. We outlined and enacted a legisla- tlvfi valrlm to give effect to our policy 1. m duck stamp bill, which has raised about $700,000 & year for the protection of migratory birds. 2. The co-ordination bill requiring active co-operation of each depart- ment of the administration and cab- inet officers in the enforcement of game laws. 3. The Robinson bill creating game sanctuaries on all public properties, & big step forward. Besides this we completed the mi- gratory bird treaty with Mexice, which had hung fre for nearly 20 years. This treaty supplements a similar treaty with Canada, which gives protection to the Southern flight. By the terms of the treaty with Mexico protection is given migratory birds on the Northern flight. Answer to Crities. T cite these facts because eritics of this administration have lately been engaged in expressing dissatisfaction with the progress of wild life restora- tion by the Federal Government dur- ing the past three years. Yet in pursuance of this program the Nation has in that time acquired and set aside some 4,800,000 acres of land and dedicated it to the restora- tion and perpetuation of valuable wild life. Many of these refuges have been located on the principal resting and breeding grounds of the wild fowl; others are placed along the main migratory flight lanes, while still others afford rest, food and safety to the binds in their Winter quarters. In the Western country great ranges have been established to per- petuate the big game species, the elk, antelope, mountain sheep and the deer, All these sanctuaries afford she’ ™ ~nd security to hosts of song ant adtivorous birds and to great vari 7 of other wild creatures. The total srea of Federal wild life sanc- tuaric. acquired in all previous years was approximately 1,800,000 acres in the United States. Thus since June 30, 1934, more than two and one-half times as much wild life sanctuary area has been ac- quired or is now being acquited than in all the preceding years in the his- tory of our Government. This work | is now going on and it will be con- tinued with the same vigor and sin- gleness of purpose. Evidences of Increases. It is pertinent to remind you here that 7,000,000 of our citizens take out fishing licenses each year and that 6,000,000 more take out annual hunt- ing licenses, a total of 13,000,000—a veritable army to uphold the banner of conservation. Drainage, drought and overshooting having greatly decreased the numbers | of our “water fowl, I have for three consecutive years, at the cost of much bitter criticism, approved regulations drastically reducing the open shooting seasons and bag limits and prohibiting the use of certain devices known to be unduly destructive. As s conse- qQuence I am informed that there is evidence that these species have shown some increase in numbers, and it is believed that they may now survive, these disasters. Such, my friends, is & brief and in- complete statement of the ways and means by which this administration has made effective its recognition of the fact that the wild life in our fields and woods and waters constitutes a resource of vital importance to all Americans and that it is the re- sponsibility of the Federal Governe ment in co-operation with the States to safeguard it for future generations, At last we are making definite proge ress, SERVICES ANNOUNCED IN HONOR OF ST.
