Approximately 8,000 fans sat In the stands, enjoying the mild freshness of the weather, the stubborn but futile resistance of the Baltimore team, and the dashei and passes of the Cincinnati squad. If anyone on the Bearcat team didn't participate In the game, he must have been hiding behind the Stands, because Coach Russ Cohen summoned every one he could find Rome, October 26 (AP) Benito Mussolini lashed out at sanctions in a militant appeal to his Fascist followers today and warned that Italy would fight against that "most odious of Injustices." His warlike words were in his annual message to the Blackshlrts as a salute to the fourteenth year of Fascism, opening Monday on the anniversary of the March on Rome. He continued: "Before an economic siege which history will brand as an absurd crime, destined to augment disorder and distress among the nations, all Italians worthy of that name will fight to organize the roost intensive defense, will distinguish between friends and enemies and will Ions; remember and transmit the memory and the, lessons of the fathers to the sons and to the nephews." Mussolini gave his blackshirt legionnaires "duty and sacrifice" as a watchword for the fourteenth year of Fascism. There are members of the party among Italy's 41,000,000 population.

Poverty And Suicide Seem To Be Facts Schultz Bondsman Quizzed. Newark, N. October 26- (AP) -Albeit Stern, the 21-year-old hoodlum police suspected as the major executioner in the bloody warfare that smashed the once powerful Dutch Schultz mob, was found dead today in a cheap hideaway. Suicide was the tentative verdict of Chief Med-ical Examiner Harrison S.

Martland, who said the chances further investigation would point toward murder were "very small." Described by New York detec tives as "the meanests killer since the late Vincent Coll," Stern In death looked anything but the well- paid hired assassin. His clothes were shabby and worn. There were no sole In hla shoes. His room lent was unpaid. ONE CLUE LESS.

Stern's death, apparently caused by Illuminating gas poisoning and strangulation, blasted police hopes that his apprehension would atart them on the road to the solution of the tavern massacre in which Schultz and three henchmen were wounded mortally Wednesday Hunted ever ilnct the ruthless war on the SchulU gang began, Stern took whatever he knew with nim In death. He did leave a crawled pencil not, but all it Contained was a farewell to a girl he addressed aa "Darling." Bloodstained newspapers and rags were found in hie room, but they proved a meaningless clue to detectives. Chckmated at least temporarily by the death of Stern, police sought new leads from Max Silverman, Dutch Schultz's ball bondsman, "NONE TOO AFFLUENT." Silverman, sought overnight by police, surrendered and was Interrogated by detectives. Lieutenant Thomas Dimond of the Prosecutor's staff of detectives, anounced Silver man would be held in bond as a ma terial witness. Information already obtained from the bondsman, he said, indicated that Dutch was "none too affluent" when he met his end.

When he was at headquarters police put him In a line-up and brought in a masked woman, whose identity they did not disclose. The woman pointed to Silverman and said a man ahe had seen running from the tavern after Schultz was shot a man who dropped shells on the sidewalk was about Silverman's size. Silverman held to his story, though, that he was elsewhere when Schulta was shot.

Only Score Is Result Of Southerners' Drive For 71 Yards In Third PeriodMusketeers Fail In Two Scoring Threats. By Lou Smith.

An Inspired Xavier University eleven played tiicky football before a Dad's Day crowd of 9,000 at Corcoran Field yesterday, but fighting spirit and deception wasn't enough to match the man-power of the broad-back Southerner! from Mississippi State. Oulpowered and outweighed 15 pounds to a man, the Musketeers played the highly touted Bulldogs to a standstill in the first half. But brute power finally prevailed, and, early in the third quarter, the con querors of the mighty Crimson Tide of Alabama two weeks ago marched 71 yards for a touchdown and then made the extra point, to win 7 to 0. Xavier threatened twice through the air. Early In the Becond quarter they marched to the Southern ers' six-yard stripe, only to surrender the ball on downs when a barrage of passes failed to click.

And, In the fourth quarter, they paraded down to Mississippi's nine-yard line. TOO MUCH TOWER. Except for these two jaunts, there was no doubt about the Southerners' superiority. Strong-armed and barrel-chested Bulldog! manned the seven positions on the forward wall, and iwift-legged, hard-running back! charged through hole! made by stal wart forwards, or turned Inside the wlnga behind Interference that appeared as Impregnable as steel. Only the determined play of the fighting Musketeer! against these heavy physical odds, assisted by tricks from the bag of Clem Crowe, head coach, prevented a larger Mississippi margin In the score.

Coach Major Ralph Sasse of Mississippi State came here expecting his boyg to run rough-shod over the Musketeers. In fact, he said upon arriving in town Friday that the game would Just be a little "warm-up" for the Bulldogs for their big game with Army next Saturday. But the cocky Major left singing the praises of the Crowemen. He was forced to open up with his complete bag of tricks to win. USES TWO ELEVENS.

Sasse used two complete teams against the and It was only through this medium that he succeeded in squeezing through to a one touchdown victory. Before Hight, hard-running Bull dog back, rolled acros! the last white marker on a smash off left tackle from the two-yard line, the fighting Xavier eleven met repeated MissiHaippI land assault! with pow erful line play and an agile secondary defense, whose hands batted down forward passes unerringly, especially when the Bulldogs were near "pay dirt." They alio offered the Southerners a loose football for a chance at their goal line on three different occasions. Twice they drove back the Southerners Inside the 20-yard line In the first half. And four time! In the second half they blanketed the effort! of the Bulldog! inside the 20-yard etrlpe of brown Bermuda. Statistic! show Xavier superior only through the air lanes.

Secretary For Any Peaceful Steps To End, Shorten, Or Localize Conflict, Washington, October 26 (AP) The United States through Secretary Cordell Hull tonight reaffirmed its stand of independent neutrality toward the Italo-Ethio-pian war, but expressed "sympathetic interest" in efforts by others to bring a halt to armed conflict. In a formal communication to the League of Nations, the Secretary of State gave this reply to an invitation to comment upon the program of sanctions against Italy and to outline steps taken by this Government. Carefully, Hull refrained from making any direct commitments on the League's efforts to halt the African conflict through economic pressure.

In fact, the "interest' expressed In halting war was so drafted as to apply to any or all wars. WOULD SHORTEN WAR. In the lengthy note, delivered through Hugh R. Wilson, American Minister to Switzerland, to Dr. Augusto De Vasconcellos, President of the League's Committee of Coordination, Hull said: "Realizing that war adversely affects every country, that It may gerlously endanger the economic welfare of each, causes untoldhu-man misery, and evenlhreatens the existence of civilization, the United States, in keeping with the letter and spirit of the Pact of Paris and other peace obligations, undertakes at all times to not only exercise its moral influence in favor of peace the world, but to con- practicable way within the limitations of our ior- eign policy to that end.

In recapitulating the moves made by this Government under the neutrality act, embracing an embargo on arms and war materials to both belligerents, a Presidential admonition against American business transactions with either country and a warning to American travelers not to use ships of the fighting nations, Hull said: "These steps have been taken for the purpose of dealing with this specific controversy and the special circumstances presented. "The course thus pursued in advance of action by' other governments represents the independence and affirmative policy of the Government of the United States and indicates its purpose not to be drawn into the war and its desire not to contribute to a prolongation of the war." At the outset, the Secretary of State referred directly to the communication from Dr. De Vasconcellos, who October 21, addressed note to this country as well as other non-members of the league. FOR PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT.

"In regard to your statement that the Government's represented on the Coordination Committee would welcome any communication which any non-member state may deem it proper to make to you, or notifications of any action which it may be taking in the circumstances," Hull said, "It is, of course, well known that the Government and people of the United States are deeply Interested in the prevention of war, and hence In the sanctity of treaties and promotion of peace in every Tirt of the world; that as a corol- lary to their abhorence of war with the human sufferings, the impoverishment of states and peoples, business dislocation and embittered Turned Into Kout Ky LasWIalf Offensive Of Colli minis Eleven.

Bloomlngton, October 28 (AP) For five astonishing, almost unbelievable mlnutea, Ohio State! famed "Scarlet Scourge" of football was shackled and licked by Indiana today, But It broke away with its old relentless force and crushed the valiant Hoosiers, 28 to 8, under an avalanche of second-half touchdowns. Fifteen thousand spectators, many of them old grails who came nack hoping against hope for sn Indiana upset, stood tip In amazement as the Hoosiers, rated at no more than a 10-to-l shot, pushed over a touchdown on a 42-yard pass from Vernon Huffman to Roy Eads, who dashed 15 more yards for the score.

Coppock, Hamilton County Coroner, performed an autopsy at the Morgue. Elston G. Klrschner, 25 years old, 3370 Woodford Road, Pleasant Ridge, son of the 67-year-old victim, who was with his father when the fatal shot was fired, told police he was positive he had seen the murderer's boy companion before. "I'd know him by his eyes," he said. "I've seen him somewhere along the river front." He referred to a youth approximately 14 years old who rushed downstairs at the Klrschner home, Moeller and Main Avenues, on the heels of the man who fired the shot when Captain Kirschner grappled with him.

The son said the killer fired from beneath his sweater.

Dr. Coppock said this must have burned his trigger hand as well as his sweater. Young Kirschner's conviction that he had seen the youth before added weight to police theories that the robbers were familiar with the victim's home and habits. They believe entrance through a side door was gained with a duplicate key. They also believe the robber fired hastily when surprised for fear Captain Kirschner would recognize him.

According to their wont, young Kirschner drove his father and his mother, Mrs. Luella Kirschner, home from the marine supply company they operate at 19 Main Street Friday night.
