TENSE SITUATION EXISTS IN ITALY HOME, Nov. 7.—A tense situation which has already resulted in at least one challenge to a duel and the prospect of further restrictive legislation, existed today as a result of the clash between Fascist and Legionnaires early in the week. The cabinet, after reviewing conditions, decided to introduce a bill increasing the penalty for attacks with weapons and forbidding the carrying of weapons. The Fascist party had expelled Deputy Viola, president of the Legionnaires Federation, because of hostility between that organization and the Fascimo. The Legion is now regarded as an out and out enemy of the Fascisti. Gen. V. Rini of the militia today challenged Gen. Garibaldi to a duel as a result of Garibaldi's censored manifesto charging the militia with responsibility for the attack on former service men during the Fascist celebration. Other withdrawals from the Fascist party were expected today and positions of protest to the king regarding the treatment of former service men by Fascisti were in preparation, following Deputy Ponzi's visit to Premier Mussolini yesterday when he withdrew from the Fascist party. ILLINOIS READY TO MEET BIG THREE By DAVIS J. WALSH NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—It may be of interest to the Big Three, self-constituted aristocracy of eastern football, that the U. of Ill. might be obtained by them as a 1925 attraction at the Bowl, Soldiers' Field or Palmer Stadium. The writer has been given to understand that the Illini, with Red Grange constituting the greatest drawing card in the country with the possible exception of Notre Dame, is in a receptive mood for any and all proposals of this kind. One factor only stands in the way if you except the fact that no member of the Big Three might be willing to overload its schedule by taking on an opponent of Illinois' calibre. The lone ADMIRAL ROBISON CROSS-EXAMINED LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7.—Cross-examination of Admiral J. K. Robinson in the federal court trial of the E. L. Doheny oil lease cancellation suit here today brought forth testimony that the Doheny oil interests were given their second Pearl Harbor fuel oil tankage contract thrue the navy's desire to protect the naval oil reserves from drainage of outside wells and to provide fuel oil storage needed for possible war time emergencies. Robison's testimony supported the contention of the Doheny defense that the Pearl Harbor contract was not conceived by Exec'y. of the Interior A. B. Fall out of a desire to provide business for Doheny, his lifelong friend. The Doheny contract was made because former Sec'y. of the Navy Edwin Denby wanted the Elk Hills naval reserve oil kept for the navy's use and not drained off by private owned wells operated just outside the reserve, Robison said. ENGLISH NOBLEMAN IS RUM SMUGGLER LONDON, Nov. 7.—The Guaranty Trust Co. of New York today appealed to the courts for an injunction to prevent Sir Broderick Hartwell from issuing any circulars regarding his rum running enterprise which would make it appear that the bank approved his venture. Sir Broderick has been selling stock in his rum running business and the circulars told of huge profits to be made through smuggling whiskey into the United States. The English nobleman, thru his counsel, voluntarily promised to withdraw the circular in question. Sir Broderick chartered ships and sent whiskey to a point about 20 or 25 miles off the American coast, where it was resold at a profit. He offered investors 120 per cent profit annually. PURTHER LOSSES CHARGED TO GOULD NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Further losses alleged to have been caused thru J. Gould as managing executor of the estate of his father, Jay III. might be obtained by them as a 1925 attraction at the Bowl, Soldiers' Field or Palmer Stadium. The writer has been given to understand that the Illini, with Red Grange, constituting the greatest drawing card in the country with the possible exception of Notre Dame, is in a receptive mood for any and all proposals of this kind. One factor only stands in the way if you except the fact that no member of the Big Three might be willing to overload its schedule by taking on an opponent of Illinois calibre. The lone consideration is that the Illinois team would insist that a home-and-home series be played, such as Princeton did with Chicago in 1921 and 1922. Just whether they could persuade another Big Three team to travel west is a question. Charges Ignorance WINNIPEG, N.Y., Nov. 7.—Gross ignorance, blundering and imaginary conclusions were charged today by Frederick De Sleyes, manager of the Canadian Coal Sales Co., Ltd., in answer to the investigation charges of Commissioner David Campbell, who recommended civil action and courtmartial proceedings against local coal dealers, and senior officers of military district No. 10 for alleged fraud in connection with the supplying and buying of coal for the military barracks.

Ketchen, officer commanding military district No. 10, is implicated in the charges, together with Col. Poussette, senior supply and trahaport officer, and several members of the militia engineering staff. De Sleyes declares the entire investigation due to political motives.

Sulivan, defeated Republican candidate for governor of Wyoming, today paid tribute to Mrs. Neilie Taylor Ross, first woman governor of Wyoming, elected Tuesday. "Our duties do not end at the polla." Sulivan said. "We must lend our whole-hearted assistance to the splendid woman whom we have made America's first woman governor." "She is a gentle woman, and it is our duty to stand behind her and the principles of this gracious woman, who has been given a more than man-sized job, by obeying the laws. We must ratify our choice by observing her mandates." HOTEL MAN HELD AS BANK ROBE The English nobleman, thru his counsel, voluntarily promised to withdraw the circular in question. Sir Broderick chartered ships and sent whiskey to a point about 20 or 25 miles off the American coast, where it was resold at a profit. He offered investors 120 per cent profit annually. FURTHER LOSSES CHARGED TO GOULD NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Further losses alleged to have been caused thru J. Gould as managing executor of the estate of his father, Jay Gould, were charged today in the suit brought for an accounting of the $$2,000,000 Gould estate. Walter B. Walker, counsel for Frank J. Gould, principal objector, alleged a loss of 1,000 shares of Wabash common stock thru manipulations by Geo. J. Gould. The stock, purchased for $545,650, Walker alleged, eventually became worthless. At the time of the elder Gould's death, Walker charged, he owned $3,000 shares of Wabash common, appraised at $813,000. Sales reduced the number of shares to $68-100. George Gould later adding 17,000 shares thru pursease. This was entirely wiped out; he said, in the reorganization of the railroad.

Smith of Montreal, a director of the Home Bank, was found guilty today of having negligently signed or approved a false return to the government in connection with the bank's affairs, which are in a receiver's hands. The court will sentence him on Dec. 1. A Little Talk on Thrift By S. W. STRAUS (President American Society of Thrift.) An ancient savant, discouraging on the subject of philanthropy, wrote that by aiding a man so "that he may earn an honest livelihood and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding out his hand for charity—this is the highest step and the summit of charity's golden ladder." These words should come with special meaning as we stand at the threshold of another winter, for it is during that season that the greatest demands upon charity are felt. Encouragement in the practices of thrift is the best way to "atticipate charity by preventing poverty." There always will be those who, through accident, illness or some other misfortune or through their own folly are dependent upon the alms of others. But just as a large percentage of fires, illnesses and accidents can be prevented, so a very large part of dependency on charity is preventable. Not enough attention is paid to thrift. Not enough of it is taught in the schools, in the churches, in the press, in the factory and in the business office. It is looked upon by too many as a dry subject. In connection with the various charity drives and philanthropic activities of the coming winter, it would be well for individuals, groups and communities to keep these thoughts in mind. To alleviate suffering and penury is an act worthy of the highest commendation. "The quality of mercy is not strain'd, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath." But to forestall poverty by inspiring thrift is even more praiseworthy. It is better to prevent suffering than merely to alleviate it. THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF.
