bl BANDITS GAY
PARTNER [5 ESCAPED
CEOREIR MURDERER
TOLEDO, Ohio—(AP)—Two 20
vear old flirting girl bandits Tues
day identified their erstwhi' e
companion “Jimmy” as Albert
Moore, escaped Georgia murderer.
The girls, Mary Ross and Lu
cille - Shirley, Atlanfa, Georgia,
were sentenced to thirty days in
the workhouse and fined SSO and
costs Monday as suspicious per
sons. They also were held in con
nection with several burglaries in
Omaha, Nebraska, in which t(hey
admitted receiving nearly SI,OOO
in stolen clothing trom “Jimmy.”
" Omaha reports named “Jimmy”
as Albert Moore. John Louy, sup
erintendent of the police bureau
of identification, said a circular
from Georgia carried a picture of
Moore and he showed it to the
girls. ;
“That’'s Jimmy,” they chorused.
The circular said Moore's crim
inal record began in 1926 when he
was given a five year sentence for
burglary in Florida.
Moore escaped and next was
heard from March 16, 1927, when
he and two others were given
life sentences for the slaying of
H. B. Hogan, cotton broker, at
Monroe, Georgia.
Moore escaped October 14, 1928,
from a chaingang the circular
said.
Toledo police have not been
able to jocate Moore after a hold
up here to which the girls lured
the victim.
Federal and State .
Forces Aroused By
Capone Controversy
MIAMI, Fla.—(UP)—Federal and
atate officials in Florida stood pat
Tuesday on opposing si(\les of the
burning question of what to do
about “Scarface” Al Capone, Chi.
cago beer baron and good taxpay
ing citizen of Miami.
Just when Capone plans to car
ry out his purpose of coming te
his Palm Island estate here, was
problematical. Reports from his
Chicago baliwick indicated it
would probably be something like
a week hence.
Pending that time, Governof
Doyle E. Carlton is fostering a
campaign to enlist the support “of
avery thinking, self-respecting cit
jzen” in his effort to keep Capone
out of Florida. He is ready to use
“whatever force is necessary,” he
announced.
The governor’s position, official
ly transmitied to sixty-seven sher
iffs in the state, was in sharp
conflict with that of W. F. Fox,
U. S. Marshal, who probably will
be chosen to servg thie papers in'
the official injunction granted by
Judge H. L. Ritter
“Judge Ritter's order will stand
against all the fuming of Gover
nor Carlton,” Fox said. “Nobody
can prevent Capone from living in
his residence as long as they have
nothing legally against him. Ca.
pone is protected through his con
stitutional rights.”

ATLANTA, Ga.—(UP)—lnquiry
into an alleged “contaminated po

new point Tyesday, with four
major isolated developments.
_First in importance and in the

l Second, by a vote of 4 to 1, a
special committee of the city board
lof education exonerated R. R.
Ritchie, its business manager, of
;charges of “wild and reckless ex
| travagance.” The grand jury which
! indicted York and others sharply
i;reprimanded Ritchie.
| Meanwhile, City Purchasing
| Agent W. P. Price went to trial
I'Tuesday on charges of defrauding
‘the city government by allegedly

MINSTER SUEEESTS
51X MONTHS RECESS
LONDON. — (AP) — Adjourna.
ment of the naval conference for
six months as a means of escap.
ing the present imposse was ba
ling definitely considered at the °
conference Tuesday. e
‘ The suggestion for such an ad
| journment was attributed to For
i eign Minister Dino Grandi of Italy
and was made to Prime Minister
I MacDonald, Y 4
The idea was that this suspen
’ sion would give France and Italy
a further chance of compesing
their difficulties without prolongs
ing the present virtual suspension
of the conference. L
‘ The adjournment would cone
template reassembling of the con
ference on October 1, thus giving
a chance for a possible agreement
; before Christmas. b
It was stated in well informed
| eircles that if adjournment wasl
carried out, it was planned that at
lleast a three-power agreement
would be signed between the Unit
cd Siates, Great Britain and Japan,
efore the conference quit work, '
| Probably this agreement would
i contain some clause to which
'France and Italy could subseribe.
" Adjournment would give them &
chance to see if they could com=".
pose their difficulties to a pointi
lwhere they 'could sign the agree<
‘ment asg a whole. Tl
During the day assurance thatl
the French delegation was ready
i to proceed with a view to achieva
ing a five power pact was given
the Americans by the French ag
a conference ot American heads
quarters. .
LONDON —(UP)— Premier s
Ramsay MacDonald summoned &
meeting of the five chief delegates
to the London naval conference for
5:30 p. m. Tuesday. It/is assume
ed they will discuss Dino Grandi's
proposal to adjourn the confers
ence for six months. j
‘ STORM. MAY BREAK
WASHINGTON— (UP) —Sens
ators concerned with foreign and
naval affairs ave withholding
judgment on the London naval
conference for just a short time
longer after which a storm may
break. i
The silence in the senate is not
construed anywhere in that body
as approval of what is being done.
Senators who are highly critical
of the course negotiations have:
taken are reluctant to sp"k:«;;&‘G~,;
now while there is still hope of
‘salvagini anything important from
the wreckage. sb i
Senator Hale, Maine republican,
chairman of the senate naval af~
fairs committee and Senator Me-
Kellar, Tennessee, democrat, have
publicly eritic'zed negotiations,
Many others will be heard from
later. tn e
Meanwhile it can be said that
any face-saving treaty such as a
three-power pact leaving a large
loophole by which Britain might
enter upon a building program to
meet possible French expansion,
will be subjected to vigorous at=
tack. It will be argued that no
treaty is better than one which
does not bind all parties to fixed
treaty would in view of these
limits. A flexible three-power
critics, mean only an arrangement
by which European nations could
dictate the size of the 'American
navy.
