Iovstigaion of “Soviet House” ;. - LONDON RAID MAY that while not able to giva a definite reason for the raid, it could suggest three possible explanations—that the home office had surrendered to diehard influences, that ic may have been for the purpose of planting forgeries, as alleged by the Moscow government in the case of the Pe- king raid; or that it may have been designed as further provocation to the soviet government. The newspapers are chary in their comment. The Daily News says it can scarcely believe the govern- ment would have taken such a step unless it possessed Information of | the gravest significancs.

Mussolini’s Assailant Sent Back to England Rome, May 18 (UP)—The Hon. Violet Gibson, the elderly Irish | woman who alone of the numerous assailants of Premier Mussolini of Ttaly succeeded in wounding him, was en route to England today after la year in jail. She was freed when the prosecu- [tor's office decided she was irre- sponsible “due to total derangement of her mind.” A sister and three English nurses accompanied her to England. The Hon. Violet shot at Mussolini from close range as he walked to | his automobile on Capitoline Hill, |April 7, 1926. The bullet struck him in the nose. No Political Significance. Scotland Yard officials, when questioned as to whethor the raid had any bearing upon the raid on the societ embassy compound in Peking, carried out by the northern Chinese authorities, declared that it was absolutely without political sig- nificance. It had been brought about, they said, by evidence in the hands| of the authorities, which convinced them they were justified in seeking a police search warrant for the en- tire building. The police stated that while searching some of the 10oms, they pmelled smoke, later finding paper ashes. Reports reached them, they added, that a number of documents were burned when the raid started. ‘This, however, was denled by the trade delegation officials, who em- ‘phasized that the police were: wel- come to sce every paper and docu- ment in their possession. Furthermore - they would have been glad to have saved the police trouble by granting them free access to the building had they requested it.

LINDBERGIS RISE 10 FAHE IS RAPID Has Been Flying Airplanes Only Six Years New York, May 13 (P—A dapper boy ‘aviator from out of the west, who started flying only six years ago loomed today as one of the out- standing contenders in the New! York-Paris non-stop flight. Almost overnight Captain Charles Lindbergh, 25 years old air mail filer and Missouri national guard flight commander, sprang from com- parative obscurity to a position in | which he threatened to wrest away the laurels for the first non-stop New York to Paris flight from the veteran commander, Richard E. Byrd, North Pole hero, and Clar-| |ence D. Chamberlin, one of the i holders of the duration flight record | |and co-pilot of the Bellanca mono- | plane, “Columbia."” Lindbergh Is Modest Stepping from his single-seater | Ryan monoplane in which he had just made a record flight across the country, Lindbergh, attired in a snappy aviator's costume, told news | papermen there wasn’t much about himself to tell. Pressed for details, however, Lindbergh a four-time member of the “Caterpillar Club,” having jump- ed in a parachute that number of times from airplanes to save his life, | gave some details of his flying ca- reer. He began flying at 19 in Lincoln, Neb., where he purchased his own plane, and ten months later finished the pursuit course at Brooks Field, Tex. Then he engaged in commercial aviation and joined several flying' circuses. Finally he was appointed | chiet pilot on the St. Louis-Chicago | air malil route.

The cockpit is en- closed in glass and the young cap- tain will fly “blind,” belng unable | to see over the front of his plane | except through a periscope.

The gull-shaped craft glided gracefully to earth and Lindbergh modestly told his story. To which his friends added: “Don't think he is traveling on a shoe string. He has support, plenty.” Lindbergh was born in ~ Detroit, where his widowed mother now lives. Before entering aviation he studied engineering for two years at the University of Wisconsin. House of Commons Has | Session of Much Rowdyism London, May 13 (UP)—The house | of commons adjourned at 3:40 a. m. | today after a rowdy, 13-hour session | on the trades union bill, in which | the laborites won a single conces- | sion after several of their amend- ments were defeated under cloture. | sir Douglas Hogg, attorney gen- | eral, in charge of the bill for the government, announced,”the bill | would be altered to make only ring- leaders of illegal strikes punishable, instead of providing jail sentences for all participants. The bill pro- hibits general strikes and restricts | the labor unions in various ways. Labor members sang “The Red Flag” and the “Marseillaise” as the | session dragged on through the | night, and frequent demands that the government resign were shouted during divisions. DE VALERA FEELS " COURT IS RIGHT Satisied With Decisién on Irish Bonds Dublin, May 13 (A—Eamon De Valera, republican leader, told the Associated Press today, that as a trustee of the bond “Irish Repub- lic,” he was the American court’s decision that the money should be returned to the subscribers. In view of all the circumstances, he declared, this was the most natural course any neutral court could take. His action and that of Stephen O'Mara, as trustees, seeking to have the fund left in their possession, he explained, was merely to prevent the Free State from getting posses- sion of money which was subscribed to the republican government. In that, he said, they had been success- ful, and he was certaln that the subscribers would not ultimately suffer. De Valera stated that the decision of the New York court was an in- teresting commentary on the judg- ment of the Free State courts, which recently ordered more than 81,000 pounds of the same funds in not dissatisfied with | public,” and Stephen O'Mara that the fund should be left in their possession as trustees for the bond- holders. Willie Ritchie Plans Comeback Attempt San Francisco, May 13 UP— Willle Ritchie, former lightweight champlon, is going to try another comeback. From authoritative sourcds it was learned today that Willle Ritchie, | the man who won the world's 135- | pound crown here from Al Wolgast in 1912 and lost it two years later to Freddle Welsh, has decided to i take another whirl at the game that brought him fame and some for- tune. Nearly 36 years and welghing around 140 pounds, Ritchie has convinced himself that he can cope with the junior welterweights of the present generation. \ MONUMENT TO BASEBALL Detroit, May 13 (UP) — Plans for' a heroic figure symbolizing | “The Spirit of Baseball,” with Ty | Cobb as the model were announced here today. Nisod Tregor, 24 year old Rus- slan sculptor, has been named as the artist to perform the work, iwhich, it {is estimated, will cost $20,000, borne by friends of the Georgian. The statue would be placed in Belle Isle, an island park here. NOTED HISTIC OF COUNTRY IS DEAD Mrs. Anw Em Fay Belore Public 50 Years Melrose, Mass., May 13 (P — Memories of half a century were being revived today as friends pre- pared to pay a last tribute to Anna Eva Fay, ploneer in stage mind reading and for nearly 50 yearsone of its leading exponents, who died here yesterday. Anna Fay was born in Southing- ton, O, and early in life studled theosophy and mysticism. S8he went on the stage as a young woman where, until her last public per- formance in Mllwaukee three years ago, she continued to amaze thou- sands by her feats of mind. But her secret, it she had one, she persistently kept to herself. Un- til the last, she told friends that her powers were inexplicable and that even she was unable to under- stand or explain them. Her home attested to many memoriable triumphs in this coun- try, Europe and Asia. It was a veritable museum crammed with medals, trophles and decorations, together with humbler tokens by ‘well wishers of less exalted rank. In 1881 she married her man- ager, David H. Pingres, Who, with two sisters, survives ‘her./ She will be buried beside the' bedy of her only son who died in 19348. Mme.
