REPRISALS FEARED | INPHILL. GANGDON 5 Club Cadix Shdoting Likely to Be Fulowed by Others | Philadelphla, Feb. 26 (P—With- | out a elue to the Identity of the! gunmen who yesterday slew ons man and wounded two others as they emerged from the Club Cadix, the police today turncd their at- tention to preparations to prevent possible reprisals In Philadelphia’s latest outbreak of gang warfare, The gunmem, who mowed down thelr victims with a rain of bul- lets as they sped past the night club in a motor car, disappeared. AWhether they used a machine gun, as at first believed, or antomatic pamp guns had not been deter- mined today. Many were inclined to believe the latter were employed No one has been found who saw the slayers and the authorities were left with only theorles to ald | in their investigation. They had little -hope of obtaining any infor- mation from Willlam *Micl Duffy, underworld leader and for- mer convict, who is believed to have been the object of the attack ' and who received seven bullet wounds in different parts of his|pent head and body. John Bricker, also O act a mnotorlous underworld racter | fO! and Duffy's bodyguard, was riddled | with bullets, dying instantly, and Early Brown, negro door-tender the Club Cadix and innocent vl tim of the attack, was shot three l4US times in the thigh. The negro will || i e recover. S OT LR ane Physiclans told Dufty his chances | POrt K- I He is larscly responsible for recovery were slight, but, tr to gangster tenets, he steadfs refused to reveal the names of hi assailants, His wife, who was with him at the cafe and who iped the fusillade by the narrowest of margins, also declined to talk With two taxicab drivers and D nick Lynch, who aided in taki the dead and injured to hospi Mre. Duffy was arrested a. terial witness. All were rel bail, Most of those working on t case believe the slayers were me bers of a Chicago gang, which in- cluded former members of the no- | torious Eggers band of the Pacific coast. Both Duffy and Bricker were alleged to have glven the po- |senato lice Information regarding some of |t the Eggers gang arrested here a | year or more ago and Duffy was sald to have known that he had been marked for slaying. Theories as to the cause of the feud differ, | some holding that it resulted from | a bootleg war and others attribut- | ing it to a beating Duffy was sald | ti to have administered to a Chicago “\nd those m gangster In a New York night club | tial nt would during the world's basebal | to form an series | sition last fall. on & Pete JOHN J.

Meanwhile, President Coolidge | has hit a fast stride in disposing those bills that have successful- squeezed through the legislative um and is expected shortly to act on several others of importance. Three Petitions Already | Three petitions to on as many measures are pending in the senate, being filed late yesterday ator Lenroot, republican, Wiscon- |sin, in an effort to ward off an im- pending attack by Senator McKel- r, democrat, Tennessee, on the 5,000,000 public Under the rules it cannot be voted |on until Monday. The other moves to invoke clo- ture are directed against efforts to prevent n Boulder Canyon dam and the on emergency officers’ retire- ment bills. The Johnson petition to limit each senator to one hour’ |discussion of the dam bill and each faced a vote today. = now ful he could muster the necessar; two thirds majority to invoke th: |rule, while opponents of the bill |and republican leaders had pre- dicted fts defeat. | Failure of this move would prac- tically Kkill the chances for a vote on the bill at this session, since leaders planned to displace it with the emergency officers’ bill. The vote to apply debate limi- tion on the latter was to follow | immedlately _ after that on | Boulder Canyon petition provided this is rejected, More in Prospect Further filibustering is in pros- pect for the senate if Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, carries out his threat that unless his reso- lution to prolong the life of his |campaign funds investigating com- mittee, is carrled “there will be no | business transacted here this ses- | sion.” His warning was given yes- | terday when Senator Reed, | can, Pennsylvania, objected to im- | mediate consideration of the reso- | ‘Inlmn which is now scheduled for dchn'e next Tuesday.

He | charged that a man who pays at- tentions to Mrs. Buda is welcomed | by her and she wants to be free to keep company with him. He de- nied he had premeditated the as- | sault, also that he had told Officer | Grabeck he hoped his wife would die. Prosccuting Attorney Woods re- called Officer Grabeck to the stand and asked him if & witness who was subpoenaed had failed to re-| ond, and the officer answered that| | Walenty Stepien of 205 Washing- ton street had told him Buda con- fided to him the afternoon of the wssault that he planned to Kill his wife and have “the undertaker find her bones in small pieces.” After court, little Mary Bizis, the' | star witness against Buda, went over to the prisoners’ pen and gave him 15 cents of the 60 cents witness fee sh- had received for attending court. “Buy some cigarettes,” she told him as they parted.

Her status as & defendant at liberty under bail in & criminal charge prevents her leaving juris- diction of the court without recelv- ing judicial permission. Miss Guinan, John Golden, a waiter, and Herman Edson, alleged manager of the club, were each held in $1,000 bail by Federal Commis- sioner Cotter yesterday. Golden was held on a charge of selling liquor while the hostess and Edson face nuisance complaints. The defendants were arrested Feb- ruary 17 when prohibition agents raided the club. The defense contended that Miss Guinan was merely an employe of the club, but Commissioner Cotter held that there was sufficient evi- dence that she had an interest in Janet Fish, aristocrat of New York family who is superintendent of nurses in Emergency hospital, Wash- ington, D.
