WITNESS KILLED;
George L. Perry Believed to
Have Been Slain By Associ=
ates in Recent Faro Swindle
VICTIM REFUSES TO
IDENTIFY SLAYERS
Woman Being Held on Belief
That -She Can Give Some
Definite Information About
Husband’s Death.
South Bend, Ind., April 25. (/P)—De¬
tectives investigating the slaying here
of a man identified as George L. Per¬
ry, alias George Parker, today ques¬
tioned his widow concerning a re¬
mark that her husband had participat¬
ed in the “Blacklidge case.”
Mrs. Perry was held at police head¬
quarters as a material witness. Offi¬
cers expressed the belief she could
give some definite information of the
killing of her husband.
Mrs. Perry told officers she and her
husband fled to France last February
shortly after the revelations of the
Edward Litsinger-Myrtle Tanner
Blacklidge $50,000 “faro swindle” at
Springfield, 111. Mrs. Blacklidge, for¬
mer collector of internal revenue for
northern Illinois, said she was swin¬
dled out of the money in a card game.
Litsinger, a Chicago politician, admit¬
ted lending Mrs. Blacklidge the money
but said the loan was not for the
gambling game.
Perry, shot down last night as he
stepped from the garage of his fath¬
er-in-law, John Canniff, cursed offi¬
cers who questioned him before he
died.
“It’s none of your business,’’ he told
officers. To a nurse, however, he
said the shooting was done by “a
friend.”
That revenge rather than robbery
was the motive for the killing was in¬
dicated by the fact that $300 in cash
and some expensive jewelry were not
taken.
Mrs. Blacklidge, without being told
the description of the dead man, gave
a description of the “parker” who had
tricked her over the telephone. The
description tallied generally.
Chicago, April 25. I/P)—The Chicago
Herald and Examiner said today that
Chicago detectives were working on a
theory that George L. Perry, alias
George Parker, slain last night in
South Bend, Ind., was put to death
by two associates in the Edward Lit¬
singer-Myrtle Tanner Blacklidge $50,
000 “faro swindle” at Springfield, 111.
Perry, or Parker, the Herald-Ex¬
aminer said, was accused by his wife
of having been involved in the Litsing
er-Blaeklidge affair, which occurred
several months ago. Mrs. Blacklidge
said she was swindled out of the
money in a card game. Litsinger, a
well known Chicago politician, said he
had lent her the money, but not for
the faro game.
Mrs. Blacklidge, who was collector
of internal revenue for northern Illi¬
nois, subsequently resigned.
Perry was shot as he stepped out
of his father-in-law’s garage where he
had just parked his car.
Chicago police were hurrying to
South Bend with descriptions of Roy
Burgess and Roscoe Reynolds. From
the descriptions of the slayers given
by the widow, police were convinced
that they are involved in the slaying.
They advanced the theory that Perry
failed to divide the cash with Rey¬
nolds and Burgess.
Although Perry lived and was con
seieus a half hour after he was shot,
he refused to divulge the names of his
slayers.
“He was a friend of mine,” was all
he would say.
The widow said that she and Perry
had fled to France February 10, short¬
ly after the swindle. Their flight, she
said, was because of her husband’s
participation in what she termed as
the “Blacklidge case.”
DAYLIGHT SAVING
TIME IS EFFECTIVE
IN NATION TODAY
New/York, April 25. 1/P)—Watches
and clocks of millions of persons will
be an hour fast for five months, be¬
ginning tomorrow. the
In 437 cities and towns of na¬
tion, mo/*- of them in the eastern
states, daylight saving time becomes
effective at 2 A. M. tomorrow. At
that hour up-to-the-minute clocks, in
theory at least, should register 3
o’clock.
The system will remain in effect
until the last Sunday in September,
^when the hour lost in sleep tomorrow
will be picked up again. Advocates
of daylight time argue that it pro¬
vides cool morning working hours, de¬
creases eye strain, and gives an hour
more of recreation in the evening.

Larger Payrolls
Predicted During
Next Few Months
Washington, April 25. (/Pi—Larger
payrolls to more men shone forth as
a promise for the future today as re¬
pel to to the commerce department in¬
dicated wage levels were being main¬
tained.
Only “isolated cases” of pay reduc¬
tions affecting 39.000 men in Febru¬
ary were found by officials in state¬
ments reaching the labor depart¬
ment’s bureau of labor statistics.
As an offset, labor officials said
yesterday indications were that more
men were being given full time work.
They cited an increase of $13,500,000
m the march aggregate weekly pay¬
roll of 13,000 plants, as compared with
January, and 152,000 more persons re¬
ceiving salaries.
A desire of employers to support ex¬
isting levels was seen by commerce
Secretary Laniont. He said there was
no movement to reduce wages, follow¬
ing a poll of the main industries.
Laniont declined to amplify a terse
statement that “I have canvassed the
principal industries and I find no
movement to reduce the rates of
wages.”
“On the contrary," he concluded,
“there is a desire to support the sit¬
uation in every way.”
The survey was made after discus¬
sion of possible salary cuts began
some time ago. /
The White House announced recent¬
ly President Hoover was gratified by
an absence of wage reductions in ma¬
jor industries, which lie opposed in a
speech before the Cleveland conven¬
tion of the American Bankers Associa¬
tion a few months ago.
Industrial leaders promised the
president at a conference in 1929 they
would endeavor to maintain wages,
and labor leaders pledged themselves
to avoid strikes.
ARMIES IS EXPECTED
REPORTS THAT INSURRECTION¬
ISTS WILL COMBINE AND AD¬
VANCE CAUSE OF CONCERN
Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, April
25. </P)—Persistent reports of a union
of two insurrectionist armies and
their advance toward this little port
city, led to considerable apprehension
and fear 'of an attack today.
The city had only a negligible num¬
ber of national guardsmen for its de¬
tense and although the U. S. S. Lang¬
ley and two destroyers stood offshore
no American naval forces have been
landed.
Orders have been issued to the
blue jackets, that if taken ashore,
they are not to fire until they are
attacked and not to pursue their at¬
tackers beyond the city limits. The
instructions are in accord with the
new Washington policy of non-use of
American forces for protection of
American citizens or property inland
from the coast towns.
A man captured by a patrol working
out of here was said by the patrol to
be a spy of General Augusto Sandino,
leader of the Nicaraguan ihsurgents.
The man carried papers, believed to
be advices from the general to his
lieutenants, but because of their age
the papers were not decipherable.
Little credence is given here to ru¬
mors that Sandino has been captured.
Many rumors exist as to his whene
abouts.
No confirmation was possible today
of reports that he had captured Cabo
Gracias A Dios, most northeastern
point in Nicaragua, which was cap¬
tured, looted and abandoned by San
dinistas a fortnight ago.

Young Men Near Death in
Hospital as Result of Fight
Which Proved Fatal to Vic¬
tim.
New York, April 25. (/PI—A youth
of 22 and a matron of 37 were ar
raigned today on charges of assault
with a deadly weapon and robbery,
the victim of the attack being the
woman’s husband.
The youth, Jimmy De Pew, nattily
dressed and debonair, said he would
like a postponement. The woman,
Mrs. John T. Conlon, said: “I want a
lawyer.” The case was put over until
next Friday.
Police said De Pew confessed at¬
tacking Conlon, who is in a hospital
near death.
Police made public 25 letters ex¬
changed between De Pew and Mrs.
Conlon. They charge Mrs. Conlon
plotted with De Pew to rob her hus¬
band to obtain money for a divorce so
that she and De Pew might be mar¬
ried.
Some of De Pew’s letters to Mrs.
Conlon addressed her as "dearie,”
while hers saluted him as “sonny
boy.” One of them indicated she had
given him money and gotten him a
job, and another said “ 1 want to moth¬
er you.”
De Pew, admitting the robbery of
Conlon—in which he obtained $63—
insisted the shooting was accidental.
He told of receiving money from Mrs.
Conlon. “We used it to go out. to¬
gether and have a good time,” he said.
Mrs. Conlon was quoted as admit¬
ting knowledge of the intended rob¬
bery of her husband, but said he was
to have used a toy pistol. The night
before the robbery, she said, De Pew
phoned her and she begged him to
abandon the plan.
FAMOUS COMSTOCK
SILVER MINE NOW
PRODUCING GOLD
Reno. Nevada, April 25. (/P)—The
Nevada State Journal said today the
Comstock lode, once one of the most
famous silver deposits in the world,
is now producing gold averaging
$19.29 to the ton.
Quoting James M. Leonard, manag¬
er of rehabilitation operations spon¬
sored by the Comstock Tunnel and
Drainage Company, said gold promis¬
ed to “bring back” the mining camp
of Virginia City, where the silver bo¬
nanza built fortunes.
It was the silver from the Corn
stock which helped stabilize the credit
of the United States following the
Civil war, and which caused Nevada
to be brought into the Union.
It is estimated that one already ex¬
posed and within the proved ore zone
probably exceeds $1,000,000 in gross
value. The Journal said the present
development is at a comparative shal¬
low level, with the definite length and
depth yet. to he determined.”

OF NARCOTICS ON
OCEAN STEAMER
New York, April 25. I/P)—Three
tons of narcotics, confiscated after
they had been unloaded from the liner
Milwaukee, were at the army base at
Brooklyn today for inventory. Con¬
stituting the largest seizure ever
made in New York at one time, they
were valued by police at more than
$5,000,000.
Newspapers said that a tip came
from abroad. Police detectives cus¬
toms officials and federal narcotic
agents clustered around 17 large
crates on pier 84 yesterday afternoon
and together opened one of the boxes.
The tip-off on the consignment came
from police but for several days fed¬

same information in a garbled form,
have been searching the He De France.
Their search ended yesterday with
nothing more exciting $50(f. than 500 bottles

SMALLER EXPENSES
DECLARES THAT GOVERNMENT
NEXT YEAR WILL NEED MIL¬
LIONS LESS THAN THIS YEAR
Washington, April 25. IA‘) Presi¬
dent Hoover expects $3 15,799,OH,'! Ifcss
will be needed to run the government
next year.
After „a cabinet meeting yesterday
he said estimated expense for the fis¬
cal year ending June 30, 1932, was $4,-
119,230,649. The expected cost for the
present fiscal year, which ends next
June 30, is $4,435,029,732.
The next year’s expensp estimate
shows a $187,000,000 increase over
budget figures submitted to the last
congress which made appropriations
for the period. At that time the
budget bureau expected there would
he a $30,000,000 surplus. Its estimate
of income, however, failed to allow
for the sharp falling off of income
taxes.
At the close of business last. Wed¬
nesday, the government hail spent $3,
■151,159,206 for the current year, or
$801,167,797 more than all collections.
It. is expected this deficit by the end
of the year will be $700,000,000.
“The budgets for all three years,”
the president said, “are greatly in¬
fluenced by the increased expenditures
for construction work in aid of unem¬
ployment, for relief to agriculture, and
for increased service to veterans, but
it will be seen that these, increased
expenditures are somewhat offset by
reductions in other directions.”
All construction costs, he said, now
are more than $725,000,000 a year,
“being about $500,000,000 per annum
in excess of the rate of expenditure
for construction previous to the de¬
pression.”
The largest expected saving in ex¬
pense is in agricultural aid. This
year $341,645,134 will he needed, while
next year’s figures call for $160,873.
025. War department funds will
show a drop of $12,000,000, while the
total for national defense will be $741,-
227,072 as against $717,372,440 this
year.
The president said his estimate did
not include loans upon World war
veterans adjusted compensation cer¬
tificates “except so far as they are
represented in the annual payment
into the bonus fund of about $112,
000 , 000 .”
“But loans on the bonus certificates
necessarily affect the treasury fi¬
nance,” he added.

10 STATE INQUIRERS
LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATORS
WILL HAVE NO HARD TIME IN
OBTAINING DESIRED DATA
New York, April 25. f/P)~ Mayor
Walker has offered free access to all
city records to the committee of the
legislature which is conducting a gen¬
eral inquiry into the municipal af¬
fairs of New York.
The mayor’s intention to co-operate
was made clear after James A. Dig
gins, commissioner of accounts, had
volunteered to give the committee the
testimony of his many investigations
into city departments.
The case of Arnold Rothstein, a
gambler, murdered iri November, 1928,
has been called hack to public atten¬
tion through investigation of the of¬
fice of District Attorney Thomas C.
T. Crain. Members of the. staff of
Samuel Seabury, who is conducting
ouster proceedings against Mr. Crain,
are pouring over the records of Un¬
ease, the. minutes of the grand jury
and the 400 pages of testimony taken
in the investigation which followed.
Their purpose is not to solve the mur¬
der but rather to determine whether
Mr. Crain’s failure to solve it was due
to inefficiency or negligence.
Another phase of the investigation
has revived a study of the circum¬
stances of the $250,000 fee paid to
former County Judge W. Bernard
Vau.se of King" for negotiating a pier
lease.

BY HAITI LEADER
General Replies to Charges That
He Captured a Non-Existing
Fort in Troubles of 1015
MINISTER’S SIGNED
STORY OPENS AFFAIR
Existence of Fort Riviera For
Whose Capture Butler Was
Awarded Medal of Honor is
Doubted.
Washington, April 25. (,/P)—Major
General Smedley 1). Butler was at
the lore of another international dis
puti- today this time with himself as
t lit- protestant.
A letter of protest from Butler
against statements attributed to Min¬
ister Bellcgardc of Haiti questioning
the basis upon which a congressional
medal of honor had been given Butler
lias been turned over to the state de¬
partment for investigation.
In transmitting the protest to the
state department, the navy depart¬
ment said it was taking that course
as a matter of routine. Secretary
Stimson said it had not yet reached
him and he would nut be able to take
up the matter actively until next
week, hut that il would he investigat¬
ed.
The attitude of the secretary was
understood to he that the question
should lie approached without pre¬
judice and without reference to a re¬
cent previous incident when remarks
by Butler about I’remier Mussolini of
Italy forced the state department to
apologize formally to the Italian gov¬
ernment.
Minister licllegardc was quoted in a
copyrighted article in the Washington
Herald recently as saying that a fort
for the capture of which Butler was
awarded a congressional medal of hon¬
or did not exist. The fort in question
was known as Fort Riviere, in Haiti.
Minister licllegardc said today that,
when the reporter of the Washington
Herald called on him he had on his
desk a copy of a paper carrying a
statement of General Butler’s regard¬
ing Fort Riviere.
In the course of the general con¬
versation, he said, he told the inter¬
viewer that no one in Haiti knew of
the fort in the past or present.
The minister said he did not know a
congressional medal had been given
General Butler for this particular ac¬
tion.
licllcganie said he knew nothing of
the protest filed by General Butler.
"I made no statement that the tort
did not exist," he said. "It, is simply
that nobody of our knowledge knows
about ibis fort. II is not known in
Haiti."
He added that he had told his inter¬
viewer Dial lie did not know General
Butler very well, nor was the officer
very widely known in Haiti generally.
I’ort-Au-I’riiice, Haiti, April 25. UP i.
Reports from Washington that the
Haitian minister there had questioned
the existence of Fort Riviera for
whose capture General Smedley I).
Butler was awarded the congressional
medal of honor, surprised marine
corps veterans of the 1915 campaign.
They remember it well. It stood on
a 3,000 fool peak about thirty miles
south of Cape Haitian and was gen¬
erally believed to have been built by
the French sometime before 1800. Il
was of solid masonry in the form of a
square with walls from eight to
twelve feet thick and from twelve to
twenty-five feet high.
The French used it as a, link in the
chain of outposts. In 1915 its exist¬
ence was not widely known, for it had
not, been used in many years and was
well hidden by the jungle growth.
In that year the Cac-os occupied it
and it, was discovered accidentally by
a marine patrol in September. In
November it was stormed and captur¬
ed by the combined forces of the navy
and marine corps commanded by Gen¬
eral Butler, then a major. Dr. Joel
T. Boone, now personal physician to
President, Hoover, participated in the
engagement,.
The fall of Fort Riviera broke the
ipii'il of the Caro uprising in northern
Haiti for the time being. The day
after it capitulated the walls were
dyrm mil.ed.
RURAL MERCHANTS
ARE AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS IN STATE
Atlanta, April 25. I/P)---Under
Georgia law a country merchant is
classed as an agricultural product.
Checking a inotoi bus regulatory
hill passed by the recent special ses¬
sion of the legislature it has been
discovered the statute provides that
“the phase ‘agricultural products’ as

livestock, meats, fertilizer, wood,
lumber, cotton and naval stores,
household goods and supplies, prod¬

How the hill got that way is just
another legislative mystery, but state
house officials assume the authors
meant to say “country merchandise.”
