HANUS UNDER * CHARGE OF MURDER ¥ Three Otbers Also Named in Rothstein Slaying New York, Dec. 5 P)—George Mc- Manus, “Richard Roe,” “John Doe,” and a fourth unnamed man were un- der indictment for murder today in connection with the fatal shooting Nov. 4 of Arnold Rothstein, big time gambler. Only McManus is under arrest, but District Attorney Joab H. Banton said he had good descriptions and fingerprints of the other men, in- cluding a photograph of the fourth man, whose name he said is known. “The world is not big enough for them to hide in,” he said, forecast- ing early arrests. McManus’ supposedly Rothstein's #ood friend, has been identified as the *“George Richards” who rented room 349 in the Park Central hotel in which Rothsteln is believed to have been shot. He also was named | by a waiter as the person who called Rothstein to the phone in Lindy's restaurant that night after which | Rothstein left for the Park Central. McManus' overcoat was found in the room after the shooting. Tured to Hotel “There is no doubt in my mind,” the district attorney said, *“that Rothstein was lured to the Park Central hotel and then killed in cold blood, and that the four men now under indictment were participants in that murder. There is no doubt in my mind that Rothstein was in that room at the time the shot was fired or within a few seconds of the time he may have been shot in some other part of that hotel.” Just which of the four men actu- ally fired the shot he was not pre- pared to say. Having completed the main work for which it was called, the grand jury today turned to other phases of the life and death of Rothstein while a federal grand jury also star cd an investigation into Rothstein's possible conneciion with — nareotic smuggling. Among subjects of the grand jury inquiry is the identity of the person or persons believed to have ransack- ed the gambler's files after his death und to have taken therefrom evi- dence which the police believe would iink him with many underworld ac- tivities. ‘The police also want to find out if jowelry valued at thousands of dollars and for which pawn tick- ets were found among Rothstein’s possessions was part of the loot of several unsolved major robberies in New York and Long Island. Fifty-eight witnesses were exam- ined by the grand jury before the indictments were returned and many more are on call for further investi- | gation. JAMES M. DELRID SERIOUSLY SICK, Ex-Husband of Movie Star Is Dying Berlin Dec. 5 P—Jaime Martinez Del Rio, Mexican banker and sports- man, and former husband of the film actress Dolores Del Rio, was ly- ing hopelessly i1l today at the private clinle of Professor Georg Axhausen. Blood poisoning, following a success- ful operation on a boil on his body, threw this otherwise hale and heaity | young man of 33 into a delirious fever from which he has only oc- casionally awakened into conscious- ness. There have been frequent cables between Berlin and Hollywood where lis former wife is following the course of his illness and between Berlin and Mexico where his other relatives are being Kept informed on his progress. Last night Dolores even telephoned from Hollywood to learn the latest word from lher for- wer husband's bedside. Miracle Only Professor Axhausen, who is a not- ed German surgeon, called in Pro- fessors )riedrich Krauss and Moritz Dorchardt. After a consultation they agreed nothing short of a miracle could save the patient. Here's a gift that will outlast the holidays and be equally useful for your summer vacation.

ARCADE ‘While everything was being done to insure competent medical treat- ment, the Mexican family priest of the Del Rios, who was visiting in 8pain, was speeding toward Berlin to administer spiritual comfort. Paul Mooney, an intimate friend of the patient, arrived this morning from Nice and hurried immediately to his bedside. Del Rio underwent a slight opera- tion for the boil three weeks ago. He left Professor Axhausen's clinic after ten days, apparently in the best of health. He attended a thea- ter the same evening. On the 11th day the infection spread and devel- oped into a serious case of blood poisoning and doctors have now given up hope. SAYS GIBSON 15 MAN RESPONSIBLE Briand Declares He Urged Naval Accord at League Paris, Dec. 5 P —Aristide Briand, foreign minister, holds that Hugh Gibson, U. S. ambassador to Belgi um, was responsible for the Anglo- French naval accord which the United States did not approve and which has been attacked by news- papers and statesmen in both Great ted States, The foreign minister, reviewing France's foreign affairs in the cham- ber of deputies, said that Mr. Gibson as delegate to the Geneva disarma- ment conference invited other par- tles represented there to reach an un- derstanding between themselves, Great Britain and France did this and communicated the agreement they reached to the United States and all other allies. Mr. Briand asked “how then can France be taxed with militarism and imperialistic designs because of an agreement reached in full accord with her allies and associates and registered with the league of na- tions?"” Reads Statistics The foreign minister read statistics purporting to show that all great na- tions of the world, “notably the United States,” were spending more on naval ermaments than France. Referring to the pact for renun- ciation of war initiated by himself and Secretary Kellogg, M. Briand said that it offered better guarantees of eace than its opponents granted it. The pact, he said, marked * a halt in the career of all warg and creates an atmosphere of real He continued: “When fifty or more nations solemnly ratify and sign a document which considers war a crime, it is not a vain gesture. “Until now war was a legal insti- tution, today it is outlawed as a crime.” The pact, he added, might possi- bly be torn up by some nation. But he saw that that nation would be placed in a grave situation toward the other signatories and “terrible catastrophes would be invited.” WHITE BOXING GLOVES Chicago, Dec. 5 (A)—White boxing gloves arc to be given a trial in Ilinois.

Y., by a federal grand jury of more than a score of Canadian distillers any brewers, the treasury department announced that investigators disclos- ed that “powerful combinations” were engaged in the smuggling trat- fie. Seymour Lowman, assistant secre- tary of the treasury in charge of the bureaus cooperating in the in- vestigation, declared that the fight against Canadian liquor smugglers would be carried on until the prae- tice was ended. The investigation which resulted in the indictments in Buffalo were sald to be likely to involve not only other Canadian distillers but em- ployes of railway and telegraph com- panies and several banks. The foreign control division of the treasury department in a state- ment said that some Canadian liquor inter.gts had aimed and abetted in smuggling to the extent in some n- stances of sending sales agents to the { United States and in others of fur- nishing false and misleading infor- mation to Canadian customs officials. Eleven members of the customs horder patrol at Detroit who weis arrested last week on charges of accepting bribes to permit liquor to b into the United States from Canada are said to have confessed and to have given the inside detalls of t'a: smugglers organization. No Comment Toronto, Ont. Dec. 5 (A—Beyond remarking that conspiracy is not an extraditable offense, W. H. Price, attorney general for Ontario, had no commepnt to make on the indictment in Buffalo of thirty Canadians for conspiracy to smuggle liquor into | the United States. A special dispatch from Ottawa to the Telegram quoted high officials of the national revenue department as saying “so long as duty is paid when the merchandise comes out of bond, we cannot stop the export of liquor to the United States or any- where else. “As a matter of fact, while the distiller prepares the cxport papers, the whole transaction is in Canada. Sale, delivery, and ayment all are made in Canada. The purchaser take made in Canada.
