WORKERS MAY 1 Shortly after the men had reached the police station, O.

E. Glover, Tucson attorney, arrived, announcing he had been asked by telephone to represent "Davis." When identities had been straightened out, Glover said he believed it had been Pierpont's voice on the telephone. The soft voice affected by Pler-pont, alleged "trigger man" of the gang, resulted in his arrest shortly. Motorcyole Patrolman Earl Nolan remembered talking Wednesday night with a soft-spoken man in a new automobile bearing a Florida license, with a pile of luggage, in the rear, of the same type and character as that of Clark and Makley. He remembered seeing the car later near a South Sixth avenue tourist camp.

With Eyman and Mullaney and Patrolman Jay Smith, he reconnolt-ered the tourist camp. The Florida car, piled high with luggage, was just leaving. Dillinger himself, when he walked into a circle of levelled pistols at the house where Clark had been taken, submitted calmly and without comment. The officers had lain in wait for him, assuming, correctly, that he had made his headquarters there, and was unaware of the predicament of his henchmen. They were, however, Just in time-he had come for his baggage to transfer it to a new address.

25. Unless iSrastle action is taken at Washington against Japanese competition, the American tuna fish industry, which is based along the Southern California coast, figures on calling It quitg and folding up. This would mean that about 1,000 fishermen and 5,000 cannery workers would be thrown out of work. It has been no secret for some lime that the American industry is a bad way. New moves attributed today to the Japanese export trade have served to blacken the (Situation from the viewpoint of American canners.

One report was that Japanese panners have passed on to their fishermen the 15 per cent increase in import duty recently ordered by President Roosevelt and that the fishermen can absorb this loss without difficulty. It was also reported Japanese interests are planning to ippen canneries on the California coast and ship their tuna here for canning. There is no duty on raw tuna, COMPLETE EMBARGO Canners in Los Angeles harbor said today the only hope for survival of the American industry is a complete embargo, or something approaching it, on Japanese tuna. Two representatives of American interests are now in Washington seeking either an embargo or a marketing agreement which would prorate the output of American canneries, as well as strictly limit the amount of Japanese tuna that could be imported. The two are Arch E.

Ekdale, San Pedro, of the California Fish Canners association, and J. G. Driscoll, San Diego, of the American Tuna Boat Owners association. Only, seven of the nearly 70 boats that fish for American canneries are still out. The others have quit their runs, awaiting a settlement of the situation.

i Canners say that unless relief comes from Washington, they can-, Sot pay more than $60 a ton for tuna, for which fishermen now get $80 and $100. Under the present prices, the average fisherman re-; ceives wages of $1,500 to $1,600 a J'ear, but a $60 ton price would so reduce wages that he could not piake a living, it is believed. Japanese fishermen work for less than Jl a day. It costs Japanese only fetcut $15 to catch a ton of tuna.

"Dollar values of sales by department stores showed an increase slightly larger than is usual for December." The board said the value of construction contracts awarded, especially for public works but also for private construction, increased further in December and the first half of January. For the last quarter of 1933, it said construction contracts in 37 states totaled as compared with $300,000,000 in the last quarter of 1932. The board said freight carload-lngs, particularly of miscellaneous freight, declined in December by less than the usual seasonal amount. It noted that the foreign exchange value of the dollar after fluctuating around 64 per cent of parity from the end of November to Jan. 13.

GOLD BILL AS 'ROBBERY HOT' Constitutionality of Measure Also Questioned as G.O.P. Continues Its Debate (Continued from Page One) assertion that a power of such importance could be exercised only by Congress.

pnntdtl flof TYilnnt nnnraiv tviftlf be delegated to another agency to be carried out," said Austin. "There are numerous instances of this. But I think that this particular power is a power that has been held by the courts to be of the highest magnitude." "The courts have held over and over," responded Robinson, pounding his desk, "that Congress can choose an agent, fix the rules of its procedure and when it has done so it is a valid delegation of authority." Borah of Idaho, independent Republican, a leader in the move to attach an inflationary amendment, reminded Austin that Congress in the past has delegated the taxing power to other agencies, in the flexible provisions of the tariff law, in the interstate commerce commission's authority over railroad rates and in many other instances. BILL TERMED ROBBERY Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, a leader among the conservative Republicans, said he agreed with Robinson that by furnishing an agency with a "rule of action" Congress can authorize It to exercise otherwise legislative powers. This was true, he said, in the case of the interstate commerce commission, and the flexible tariff law, but, he add ed: "The trouble with this proposition is that the power is delegated with no rule of action prescribed." Robinson disagreed and asserted that the bill laid down a rule of action as clear as in the instances mentioned.

Austin's speech followed a vigorous criticism of the measure by Senator Hastings, Delaware Republican, in which he questioned the measure's constitutionality in several particulars, declaring it "not only permanent in character but revolutionary in purpose," and asserted that it is intended to "legalize robbery" in its provision for seizure of the monetary gold of the Federal Reserve banks. BATTLE TO CONTINUE The bill has the four-fold purpose of authorizing devaluation of the dollar to a point between 50 and 60 per cent of its present gold worth, giving the treasury all mon etary gold In the country, creation 3 of a $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund to regulate the dollar's foreign purchasing power, and the removal of restrictions which the treasury considers are hampering the big refinancing operations about to be undertaken. The outstanding dispute over the bill was hardly mentioned in today's debate. This is a committee amendment placing the stabilization fund under the charge of a board of five, where the administration wants the secretary of the treasury to have sole authority over it. That the amendment will be removed by the big Democratic majority is conceded, but its opponents plan a determined battle.

Riot guns bristled at doorways and windows and pistols were at hand on every desk, in addition to the sldearmS strapped to the waists of the guards.

On the persons, in the baggage, and in the houses occupied by the fugitives, immediate search revealed $27,000 in currency, believed a portion of the $74,000 the gang took in a raid on the Central National bank of Greencastle, and a varied collection of firearms. FIND MACHINE GUNS With Dlllinger's baggage, seized as he apparently was in the act of transferring it to a new address, were two sub-machine guns. In the house occupied by Clark, and where Clark was overpowered during Dlllinger's absence, were twd more sub-machine guns one a regulation .45 caliber model, and the other described by police as a new "tank gun," chambering a .351 caliber rifle cartridge, two pistols, two late type steel vests, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. The destruction by fire last Monday of the Congress hotel here "smoked out" the gang from hiding, police Said, and started detectives on clews which ended in the rapid series of arrests. Makley and Clark, residing at the hotel, were the first to seek aid in removing their baggage when it became apparent the building was doomed.

FIREMEN NOTED Firemen William Benedict and Robert Freeman carried the gangsters' accoutrements down an aerial ladder, and were presented with $12 in token of appreciation. Next day, reading a magazine of detective stories, the firemen recognized the fleeing hotel guests as Makley and Clark, from photo graphs Illustrating a story describing the gang's Middle West terrorism. They went at once to police head quarters, and records were checked. Then police went into action. Baggage deliveries from the Congress hotel were traced, and detectives located a house at 927 North Second avenue, recently rented by one C.

Davis." "Davis" was Clark. Four patrolmen went there late this afternoon. Officer Chet Sherman approached the front door, a paper in his hand, simulating a search for a strange address. Behind him was Patrolman Dallas Ford, and to a rear door went Frank Eyman and Kenneth Mul-laney, all in plain clothes. RESISTS ARREST As Sherman reached the door, he saw Clark leap from a divan and rush to the door, followed by a woman.

The officer drew his pistol, and Clark grasped the barrel. The men wrestled through the living room and into an adjacent bedroom, the burly Clark thrusting the lighter-built patrolman before him. The woman, in a quick move, had shunted Ford aside and slammed the front door on his hand, breaking a finger, and left Sherman and Clark alone in their battle, while Eyman and Mullaney battered on the rear door. With Sherman still gripping his gun grimly, Clark forced the patrolman down over a bed, and drew a pistol of his own from under the pillow. Eyma and Mullaney burst In as he raised it, and he soon was subdued, his head a mass of blood.

A trail of blood marked his progress from the house to the police car. Makley, at about the same time, was accosted and surrendered peaceably in a downtown electric store, where he had Just completed the purchase of a police-type radio receiving set. He was not armed.

25. Another anonymous note, written perhaps by the kidnap gang holding Edward G. Bremer, wealthy St. Paul president and twner of a bank, for $200,000 ransom, was tossed into the grab bag of meager clews in the case today. It was mailed in St.

Paul and addressed to an unnamed man described as a friend of the missing man and his father, Adolph Bremer. It was reported the note, written in pencil and not signed by the captive president and owner of the Commercial State bank, urged immediate payment of the ransom. KIDNAPING WATCHED Federal department of justice investigators, to whom the missive was turned over, were unsure whether it was the work of a crank or came from the gang. They planned to compare its penmanship with that of other notes received since Bremer was abducted Jan. 17.

Disclosure the. latest anonymous note had been received came as two women, who said they saw the abduction, gave information that may lead to the lair of the kidnapers. One woman said she saw a struggle in the Bremer car after he had taken his young daughter to school, while the other was reported to have given the license number of the car in which he was carried away. There was considerable speculation as to why the Federal investi gators today became more active in seeking the gang of abductors. Some thought it had been decided that Bremer had met a fatal end, leaving capture of his kidnapers the main object to be attained.

Romance that began on a tropical film location two years ago led to the secret marriage of Kane Richmond and Marion Burns, both of the movies, last May 22, the couple admitted today. With the disclosure it was re vealed that Miss Burns had divorced her first husband, Bruce MacFarland, New York stage actor, son of Alice Gentle, singer, obtaining a decree in the East. Richmond and Miss Burns first met when Clyde Elliott, director of a picture, called them to the Fox studio to make a screen test together for the leading roles in his film "Devil They were on location in the jungles of Indo china, Siam and India for six months and returned to the United States last April 29. Three weeks later they were married in Phoenix, Ariz. came to a virtual standstill, this in the day time.

All fit If and when "big business" shows a profit, all other business is very likely to find a similar happier condition. Which Is just now based on the annual report of General Motors corporation, the country's largest builder of motorcars. It went through 1933 showing a profit of $1.72 per share of common stock, this after paying all preferred dividends. The report of General Motors, made public yesterday, is the more important because it lost more than $63,000,000 in 1932, which of course is figured the bottom of the business depression. For it to have wiped out that loss and earned not only the preferred stock dividend but $1.72 on the common stock, begins to suggest how far business has swung back toward normal.

General Motors never paid a big regular dividend, $3.00 per share being the regular dividend for years, "sweetened" now and then with something in the way of extras. But that it should have gone through 1933 with the record now disclosed suggests the direction in which business is headed. Along the same line Is the of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, one of the country's industrial giants, which showed a profit in the last quarter of 1933 for the first time in several years," according to the market story of the morning. Which means that this industrial giant still makes a losing report for the year of 1933, although improving in the last quarter. 4.

Approaching the original esti-mate of $170,000,000 for the construction of the central valleys water project in California, an amended application for $169,652,000 from the Federal Government, to finance construction of the enterprise was approved and signed by the California Water authority at Sacramento yesterday. Except in minor details, the application is the same as was submitted by Governor Rolph several months ago, although the outright grant or gift from the Federal Government is reduced to $36,767,000, instead of $43,000,000 originally asked for.

That is to say, the lands and interests concerned are now asking Uncle Sam for of which $36,767,000 is sought as an outright gift, leaving about $133,000,000 to be repaid by the land and water interests to be benefitted. TTThe theory of the application is that only this land and these water interests can be held by the Federal Government for the repayment of 70 per cent of the original loan thus assumed, but whether, after the election of last December 19 when the people of the state approved the project, the courts would finally hold that the land itself involved and not the ptate of California is responsible might raise a question not to be answered until the highest courts have passed on the issues involved. 5 2 Another collateral question is as to whether "new lands" are to be irrigated by this water supply. In the original campaign the argument was that the water is required for lands now or heretofore irrigated in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys whose irrigation supply has failed, and that new lands would not be brought under irrigation this on the theory that already production exceeds consumption. But the news from Sacramento now is to the effect that "demands for water provided by the project will exceed the available fore the police desk, his hands manacled behind him, while the wads of currency taken from his person were being counted.

Shown a receipt slip, with the total, he nodded curtly that it was correct. As "Frank Sullivan," the name he gave when arrested, he was led into the office of Mark Robbins, police finger-print expert. DILLINGER TRAPPED He stared calmly at a photo graph, labelled "John Dillinger," and said nothing. Finger print cards were produced from the files his own finger prints were taken. Then he said "yes," and signed Robbins' record in his own handwriting "John Dillinger." Debonair and unruffled, when the identification was over, he presented Patrolman Sherman with a small keepsake, and told the officers he had been entirely ignorant of the fate of his companions when he walked into the trap police had set.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 25. Capt. Matt Leach of the Indiana state police tonight said capture at Tucson, of John Dillinger, Harry Pierpont, Charles Makley and Russell Clark "stamps out the so-called Dillinger gang." Only two are left, he said, and one of those has not been heard of for some time. He is Homer Van Meter, a paroled convict.

The other is John Hamilton, one of the 10 convicts who escaped from the state prison last Sept. 26, and Captain Leach expressed belief he is in the neighborhood of Tucson. Two other escaped convicts still are at large, but the Indiana police have contended for weeks that they were not with the Dillinger gang. They are Joseph Fox and Joseph Burns. Dillinger, alleged to have plotted the prison break, has been regarded as the leader of the gang.

State police have said, however, that Pierpont, the "trigger man" of the desperadoes, also has been the "brains" of the outfit. FEDERAL FUNDS SOUGHT LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.

Kemp, re- Just why or how Emma Goldman, deported from the United States four years ago as an outstanding enemy of the Government, should be permitted to return to do the very thing for which she was deported, is not explained in the news, but President Roosevelt's amnesty declaration is taken advantage of by this arch enemy of government, to return and make a transcontinental lecture tour. She not only has a contract for lectures in the U.S.A. but will return east via Canada, lecturing and presumably spreading her gospel of anarchism. In other words, we expel her as an enemy of all organized government, and then permit her to return and gather up some thousands of dollars for doing the very thing for which she was expelled. Now isn't that consistency? Fresno is to be the starting place for Governor Rolph's six weeks' tour of the state of California, with Feb.

9 as the starting I date. The governor says he will I travel by plane, train, automobile "and roller skates if necessary" to reach every county seat. The 1934 state campaign is already in sight. The governor expects to complete the circuit of the state in six weeks, which' would seem to mean that most of his traveling must be by air. Motorcars are not that fast, JIT Presumably only those people who have experienced a genuine London fog understand just what it involves, but we get some conception of it in the news of the morning, to the effect that "four persons are known to have been killed, hundreds injured and traffic from Yorkshire to Sussex paralyzed for 24 hours," as the vicinity of London fought its worst winter fog recorded in many years.

The visibility was cut down until railroad trains stopped or collided shipping on the Thames came to a halt, motorcars and busses were useless and mostly London travels by means of busses, while business came when a tap dancer got on the stage and went through his repertoire. He left but his "dance" remained and tripped all over the platform until it too left, but in the opposite direction. Invisible "airplanes" darted from the stage and circled over the audience so realistically that many craned their necks, with more fear than curiosity. The demonstration was given by "sound sculptors" of the Bell Telephone laboratories. The effects were made possible through development of sound reproduction in three dimensions, it was explained.

All of the sounds on the stage were reproduced "sculpturally" by means of microphones and loud-speakers of new design although the "action" was taking place two floors above.

TAX REFUNDS FOR 1933 DWINDLE Spooky Music Tests Show Future Trend Only Four Corporations and One Estate Get Over $500,000 As Results Disclosed (By United Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. marked shrinkage in the number and size of refunds by the internal revenue bureau during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1933, for overpayment of taxes, was noted today in a report on refunds of over $500 by the bureau to the joint committee on Internal revenue taxation.

The "music of the future" may provide more patients for the neurotic wards, electrical engineers decided today after listening to a weird demonstration of just what an orchestra combined with electrical amplification and other devices can do to the nervous system.

Members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers fidgeted nervously when an ordinary electric buzzer was made to sound like a thousand boiler factories. They were even more nervous when a bugler stepped out- on the stage, tooted his bugle, then walked off leaving an invisible bugle tooting on the spot he had occupied. After he disappeared, the bugle calls, seemingly originating In thin air, faded away in the opposite direction.
