The Catholic newspaper Avvenire D' Italia suggested that all the world s countless radio stations should be silent for one moment during the i funeral services this afternoon. One of Marconi's collaborators, tte Marchese Luigi Solari, reveal ed that experiments which death interrupted would have snatched new secrets from nature to iniprove television. Marconi was a staunch fascist - to the end — and many Italians loved him more for that, than for all his inventive genius. Only on Monday he had insisted on keeping an appointment with Mussolini—“l must go," he said, “something tells me this is the last time I shall see 11 Duce." His death recalled an incident in connection with his early experiments in the field of radio which, many Italians claimed, helped change the foreign conception of Italians as “organ grinders with monkeys.” When Marconi was forced to go to England in 1896 to seek aid in developing the radio —Italy refused to help him— one London newspaper ,wrote: "Another Italian has arrived if! London with a little hand organ but without a monkey. This organ doesn’t make music but with it he wants to make noise.” A few years later, Marconi sent the first wireless message across the Atlantic

SEN. ALBEN BARKLEY ed to vote against the court bill, revised hie reply to the governor. In, view of the court developmental, itwas u?-t believed that Wagner would take the strong stand for the I bill that administration sources previously had expected. Sen. Prentiss M. Brown, D., Mich., one of a group of “freshmen” senators reported to have broken with the administration ever the court i bill said he had inormed both President Roosevelt and Vice-president Garner of his decision to oppose the measure.

The closeness of the leadership 'ballot aroused great interest among both Dena'.'crats and Republicans in the senate. Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich., commenting on the division in Democratic ranks, said: “To paraphrase Mr. Farley, it looks like the Democratic leadership ie in two bags.” •in the house Speaker William B. Bankhead told reporters that he did not think the house w. uld attempt to pass a supreme court measure it the senate recommits the Robinson bill. Barkley eaid he knew of “no basis” for reports that the administration itself would move to recommit the measure. o The Misses Mildred Miller and Ruth Borne were among the Decatur people to attend the circus at Fort Wayne today.

[GIVES EVIDENCE OF “CHASING" Former Indiana Man Tells Os Chicago “Ambulance Chasers” Chicago, July 21—(U.PJ—-George West, 49, former Michigan City, Ind. deputy sheriff, testified today that he received 1248 for getting twenty persons to claim they were injured . ■in a collision involving two empty street cars. West was the principal witness in the "ambulance chasing” trial of attorneys George N. Welch, Murphy, O. Tate and Leo M. Tarpey, and Dr. Andrew B. Rotche. West ■previously pleaded guilty to a similar charge. West said he wag hired by the i defendants to round up the 20 claim-1 ants for damages. The scheme went astray when it came out that the cars were empty. On last Dec. 20, West said the defendant* advised him to leave Chicago. He went Niles, Mich , and then to Kalamazoo, where he was arrested Dec. 26. He said that IK' one but his nephew. John Keeler knew where he had gone. On the 1 day of his arrest, he received his • last payment, a check for SIOO. He had been promised $2,000, but received no more payments after the,

arrest. TWO CONVICTS (CONTINUED FAGE ONE), I on farm from which he and Tindol I escaped 12 days ago, was left be-1 hind. Officers found her unconscious in the car, her two pet pups playing about her feet. She had ! fainted when Traxler shouted to ! her to run. The exchange of shots between the fugitives and J. R. McLaugh-1 lin and Ben Hisner, deputy sher- 1 iffs, and Green Beams, Kingston i constable, attracted more than a score of officers who already were searching the area and within 10 minutes the river bottoms were being beaten by the posse. Sheriff G. G. Murphy obtained the hounds from McAlester state prison. Rain early in the evening ■ may have washed away the scent ! but he believed the dogs would pick up the trail later. Officers said the area was so ! wild it was possible Traxler and Tindol might become lost. Hunters have been lost in the timber II for several days, they said. Murphy said he hadn't learned
