Later 4investigation cast doubt: on the theory that the bank raid was conducted by Dillingees gang.

Dispatches from Pana said that of the bank could not identify photographs of the Mooresville boy.

Springfield, April 19.Special.1 Republicans in both houses of the legislature began a battle today against the Sinnett bill. That bill would znake the state the policing agency behind the NR.A.

A dozen Republican leaders said they would fight passage of the bill, introduced yesterday by Representative Thomas P. Sinnett Rock Island, Gov. Horner's floor leader. It wouid, in they charge, array all state and municipal as a special force to see that business codes were enforced. NRA Federal Affair.

The objections raised were varied. but the one most agreed upon was that since the IsTRA is a national effort, its enforcement should be wholly a federal government function. That, for example, was the attitude of both Representatives S. P. Roderick, and David I.

Swanson of Chicago. "It is bad enough," Roderick said that we have these alphabetical organizations running our national government But if the theory is to let them filter into the states, it is even worse." The bill smacks of dictatorship," Swanson added. Congress originated it and the federal government should take all responsibility for it. I cannot see why states should be asked to help." ---1 "P-- It has been established that linger was shot March 31 in St. Pauli, while fleeing a trap set for him by federal agents.

He was hurt in the leg a little, but not much. I don't aim to tell no lies even to keep things like that quiet.

I didn't tell the because they didn't ask me." The statement of the elder Dillinger was made to a newspaper reporter who had heard gossip through this little town about his being here and went to the best source for confirma. tion.

Usually condemned men are to death a few minutes after midnight 'Sherif Meyering, however, decreed the later hour in order to discourage the morbidly curious who had expressed the desire to attend the electrocutions. All three condemned men managed an hour or two of sleep in the death cell before they were summoned to the glaf; inclosed room which contains the fatal chair. Before they dozed olf Scheck and Dale spent the late evening hours writing letters. Francis occupied himself chiefly in reading the Bible. Earlier in the day Scheck was visited by sixteen relatives, and after the last one had left be weakened.

He was the least composed of the three. Dale joked and appeati most buoyant. Both he and Francis boasted they would go to the chair like men." Scheck Write! to Family. Scheck, while remaining glum throughout the night and even early today, apparently expressed his true feelings in letters. In a note to his family he urged: Please smile and laugh, for that's all that you now can I do.

If you'll be hanpy I'll be happy. too. I have only myself to blame." In a lengthy letter addressed to the general public Scheck sought to extenuate his crime. He blamed his downfall on circumstances and toe depression and he excused himself because he was only a boy. The thought never occurred to any one during the trial to show the circumstances of John Scheck as a mere boy who was lured and tempted into the life of crime because of his intense devotion to his parents and to his home that they were about to be deprived of as victims of a nation-wide economic depression," stated Scheck in this letter.

Says Kin Faced Loss of Support. Then Scheck's letter went on to say that at the time killed the policeman in court he was being held for another crime and that he did not want to go to prison because then his family would be deprived of his support So John Scheck plotted the escape which resulted in failure and the unfortunate death of a policeman," he wrote. Farther on after a few paragraphs about psychology and behaviorism, which jail said he had been studying in recent weeks he wrote that as a boy John Scheck is fighting a battle to live in and sorrow for a mistake that is very close to him." 1.

Tribune Press SIIANGHAL April intends to disregard the Japanese declaration opposing occidental sales of aircraft to the Nanking government. It was indicated today. Dr.

H. Kung, finance minister. signed a contract with Carl Nahmmacher, local representative of the American United Aircraft company, for 20 military planes. The contract calls for immediate shipment. Kung refused to comment on the Japanese 'hands off China" pronouncement, but a finance department spokesman said that China is particularly interested in the reaction of the powers.

Ile pointed out that Japan's action is tantamount to closing the open door in China. The government, he added, contends that if the Japanese doctrine is permitted to stand, it will not be long before the Nipponese also will be banning sales of automobiles or even cloth for making soldiers' uniforms and lether for footwear, on the ground that this would be likely to disturb the peace of Asia. Lashes Japan's Alm.

China has never harbored any intention of injuring any nation or of causing a far eastern disturbance.

Chinese newspapers and public organizations meanwhile united in an outburst against the Japanese statement of policy which was designated as similar to the 21 demands which Japan presented China in 1915. The Chunghua Jill Pao declared: "Japan assumes responsibility for maintaining peace in the orient, but we find only evidences of Japan's acts of aggression, the occupation of Manchuria, the invasion of Shanghai, the annexation of Jehol, and the creation of disturbances in North China.

Topeka, April Georgia Hill, Silvis. 111., was awarded $2,500 by a federal District court jury tonight for injuries which, she contended, resulted from a spanking administered by 10 feminine schoolmates when she was a student in the Good-land, High school. The verdict included an award of actual and $500 punitive damages.

Miss Hill had sued for $25.000 for the hazing episode, which occurred the night of Dec. 11, 1931: Judgment for the $2,500 is against any or all of the 10 defendants. but not against their parents. None of the defendants is now of age, but attorneys said the judgment could be held for Collection until each is 21. The price which the 10 girls will be required to pay is considerably higher than what the city settled for in another action in which Miss Hill had sued Goodland for $15,000 under the state mob law.

The city settled out of court for $100 and costs amounting to $35. The girls described the episode as a schoolgirl prank and said they spanked Miss Hill lightly. Miss Hill said she was severely beaten and suffered permanent injuries. The spanking was administered for an infraction of a 1 student custom prohibiting dates" to school basketball games.

The findings again disprove the fallacious assumption that the nickname arose from any meteorological characteristics. They show 13 cities windier than Chicago, and indicate that Chicagoans are fortunate In the climate they enjoy. Genesis in 1893 Fair. The nickname was one of derision.

It had nothing to do with climate, nut arose out of the battle.waged by four cities for the honor of being host to the Columbian Exposition of 1893. "Don't pay any attention," wrole Charles A.

Worse than Dry Law." Other comments were more bitter. Representative Clinton Searle of Rock Island, Republican whip of the house, termed the bill worse than prohibition." I am glad the Crusaders are coming out against this equally noxious thing," he said. "All American citizens should join the Crusaders. The battle now is to see if any American institution shall be preserved." So spontaneous were the protests that Representative Sinnett agreed with the Illinois Manufacturers' association that a full hearing on the bill should be granted before an attempt is made to pass it in the house. The manufacturers are expected to have a sizable delegation in Springfield for the hearing.

Sees Snoopers' Other typical comments came from Representatives Richard J. Lyons Mundelein, Frederick W. Rennick Buda, and Lottie Holman O'Neill Downers Grove. All state police would become snoopers under this bill," Lyons declared, but they wouldn't snoop on big business, only the little fellows." Rennick foresaw a situation where even of the legislature would become government policemen. I'm opposed," he said to a bill which would make the pages of the house and the girl on the telephones detectives for the NRA." Mrs.

O'Neill said the bill was offensive to her. "Labor has no stronger friend than Lottie Holman O'Neill," she declared, but when American institutions are threatened, we shouldn't permit it." Senators Ready for Fight. Among the senators who said they would fight the bill, if it reached their chamber, were Thomas P. Gunning Princeton and Harry G. Wright De Kalb.

These sentiments were freely pressed this this morning before both houses adjourned for the week-end. Since Mr. Sinnett did not attempt to advance the bill to third reading there was no opportunity for them to be aired on the floor. That probably will come next week.
