FUGITIVE TWO YEARS, BANKER AWAITS TRIAL •Glad It’s All Over.’ Sobs ‘Hermit/ Caught in Net of Insull Crash. By r nitr4 Press CHICAGO. Nov. 12. Twenty \ards from the crowded courtroom where Samuel Insull Is being tried on charges ol swindling 500 000 investors of $143 000 000. preparations were made today to wipe off court books one of the strangest tragedies resulting from the 1932 crash of the utility tycoons billion-dollar empire. Chief character in the by-play of the Insull drama was Nicholas Schwail. a sob-wracked little man who thought like thousands of others that Samuel Insull's name behind a stock issue was a guarantee of quick and easy money, f-chwall gambled $56,000 of his bank a money on his conviction and lost. Federal agents and a bank receiver's attorney found Schwall last v erg m a Wisconsin north woods hovel, where for two years he had led the life of a Robinson Crusoe. He cried when they slipped handcuffs over the calloused hands which used to wield nothing heavier than a pen. but he seemed genuinely relieved by arrest. In a Waukegan cell he learned yesterday from two brothers that his 74-year-old mother died last May calling his name. He learned that his 2-year-old daughter, unborn when he fled in 1932. is seriously ill and that he may never see her. He heard that his wife, still loyal, is too ill to visit his cell. He sobbed continually today as he awaited his summons to court. • I'm glad it's all over." he cried. ‘l'm not going to fight. I don't • t :d. I don't want an attorney. I m going to plead guilty i and have it over.’* In the two years of his isolation, he revealed, he frequently ap- > proached the verge of starvation. He chopped wood, gathered nuts and roots, worked as a farm hand j at novice's wages and begged to keep i himself alive. “Lots of nights I almost went mad j Just thinking of things." he said. "I I never heard a word from home in ! all that time.” The banks receiver planned to ask leniency for him in return for i his aid in straightening out tangled affairs ot the closed institution.

Boy Born, Says Mother; It’s Girl, Claims Hospital And So Family Appeals to Mayor, Police, Firemen or Any One Who Can Heip Out. ByUn it<d Press NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—Mrs. Gennaro Pisacano today appealed to Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia, the police department, the fire department, or any one else wno would make a good Solomon. Oct 31, she said, she gave birth to a boy in a Manhattan hospital. The hospital has given her a girl, which she doesn't want.
Soon after her ordeal, she said the doctor told her: "Congratulations, Mrs. Pisacano. That's a fine boy." The next day a nurse brought the baby to her bed and Mrs. Pisacano said she remembered her saying: "That’s a beautiful baby boy you have, Mrs. Pisacano.” Mrs. Pisacano took her baby, noticing a bead necklace around its neck tagged with the family name and the initial M (male). She unwrapped the infant to admire it, then screamed. It was no boy. Yesterday after hours and hours of debate with hospital authorities, Mrs: Pisacano and her husband, a worker on relief rolls, angrily left for home. A half hour later a hospital nurse came panting up the stairs of their tenement with the baby girl, thrust her into Mrs. Pisacano's arms, and fled. The hospital said that regardless of Mrs. Pisacano's memory of what the doctor and nurse said, she had her own baby, a girl. A careless nurse had put an “M” tag instead of an "F” tag around its neck, but that meant nothing, they said. The Pisacanos have five other children—all blue-eyed blonds like their father. Mrs. Pisacano is brunet. The baby still is too young for family characteristics to be discerned. MILLERSVILLE LODGE TO PRESENT MINSTREL Dancing to Follow Shows at Masonic Temple.

Vote Analysis Shows Inroads Made Into Democratic Strength by G. O. P.
Republicans Coming Back in State’s Rural Districts, Survey Reveals. (Continued From Page One) they certainly can not be laughed off. There was a great deal of speculation before the election as to the effect of the alleged antagonism to the state administration of Governor Paul V. McNutt. It was said some of the old guard Democrats were gunning for Sherman Minton because they were angered over R. Earl Peters, former state chairman, being dealt out of the senate nomination in the convention. Undoubtedly, there were some sore feelings about the forthright manner in which the Governor and his advisers handled the convention, and nominated Mr. Minton. And while Mr. Peters took his defeat gracefully and also took the stump for Mr. Minton and the state ticket to prove his “rightness,” there appears to be some grounds tor the belief that the Peters faction didn't forgive as readily as its leader. Take Allen county, of which Mr. Peters’ home town of Ft. Wayne is the seat. Here, the Democrats sustained their worst voting losses. Allen county went for Mr. Minton by about 4,500 votes, but the Democratic vote loss in comparison to the preceding senate election was 11,000. The Republicans lost only 2,602. Tippecanoe and Monroe counties also gave Mr. Peters strength in the convention. The Republicans carried both against Mr. Minton and there was a lot of Republican strength in other ‘‘Peters counties.’’ A noteworthy exception was Shelby. There also Mr. Peters had plenty of convention strength, even though it was the home county of Pleas Greenlee, who had personal direction of the Minton campaign. Mr. Greenlee couldn’t control the county in convention, but it was one of the few counties last Tuesday to show any degree of Democratic gain. Shelby went through with an increase of 1,547 votes over the last

election while the Republicans were losing 838. Evidently, Mr. Greenlee has reduced the Shelby county howl of anguish about “McNuttism” to something less than a whisper. Wayne county also was a stronghold of Peters’ strength in the convention. In fact, Fred Pickett, clerk of the supreme and appellate courts, was the chief lieutenant of Mr. Peters and for his pains, got left off the Democratic state ticket. Nobody questions Mr. Pickett’s party loyalty. After the Peters bandwagon threw a wheel, Mr. Pickett is said to have done what he could for Mr. Minton’s candidacy. Nevertheless, Wayne county went Republican by almost a thousand votes, although Senator Van Nuys carried it in 1932. Marion and Lake counties got in the most telling blows for Democracy last Tuesday. Marion chipped in 15,000 votes toward SenatorElect Minton's plurality and Lake came through with 5,000 more. Both parties suffered heavy vote

In Lake, the Democrats dropped only 950, while the Republicans were losing 3.634. There were some curious swings in the voting last week in comparison with the preceding senate race. Dubois county was one. The Democrats carried it almost 2 to 1, yet there was a Democratic vote loss of 1,128, while the Republicans were gaining 1,000. Marshall was another. Here also, the Democrats were victorious while losing 1,198 in the face of a 1,127 gain by the Republicans. Vanderburg joined Allen in being one of the populous centers to show a huge Democratic ballot loss, even though Mr. Minton carried it. The loss was 3.252, although the Republican ballot actually gained 4,663. The largest county to go Republican, Tippecanoe, showed a Democratic ballot loss of 3,234 and a Republican gain of 1,215. However, it was the county which helped swing the election to the only Republican representative chosen, Frederick Landis. Logansport. Little Perry county was the enigma of all. It went Republican almost 2 to 1, and the Democratic ballot loss over 1932 and the Republican gain was proportionate. However, even with its 2-to-l balloting for the Republican senate nominee, It couldn’t put over the Republican representative nominee from the Eight district, where the incumbent, John W. Boehne Jr., defeated Charles F. Werner, Republican, by 35,000 votes. Figures may be relatively unimportant and may not mean anything. They have fooled more mathematically - minded persons than this observer, but one thing seems certain. While the Republicans are extracting a few crumbs of comfort from their success in the rural counties, that same phenomenon, to call it something, ought to give the Democrats food for thought.

WORK IS MADE SOCIAL DUTY Ifi ORDERBY DUCE Compulsory Job-Holding Is Party of Italy’s New Corporative State. (Copyright. 1934. by United Presil ROME, Nov. 12—Compulsory work for all able bodied Italians, including the scions of the glamorous ancient families whose forebears have made history, will be a part of the new corporative state program, ft was learned today. Work as a social fcuty for every one is the ideal. The program Is regarded here as no less drastic a reform than the economic parliament. the council of corporations in which capital and labor are represented equally and which in future is to be the equivalent of the present chamber of deputies. Premier Benito Mussolini made the announcement of the compulsory work program in his speech Saturday inaugurating the council |of corporations. It was not emphasized at that time. Mussolini said: "The Fascist revolution maintains the principle of the equality of all individuals before the state, and it adds another one: The equality of all individuals regarding work as a social duty. - ’ It means the searching out of a somewhat large leisure class and the insistance that its members go to work. Aristocracy Is Target The work program principally strikes the old landed aristocracy which has for centuries lived in the world's capitals while its lands have been developed at home by hired administrators. Like the program for the new corporative state, the work-for-all idea is the development of years of study. As far back as 1925, Premier Mussolini attacked the artistocracy for "loafing around in the de luxe hotels when they are needed in the colonization of the Italian territories in Africa.” In line with the social evolution of the Fascist era, members of a number of the old aristocratic families have gone into industry or have stayed at home to administer their estates. But there are those who have followed the old custom of shunning work and living the socalled gentlemen's life, and they have roused Mussolini’s anger. He has been unsparing in his praise of those who have gone to work—such men as the late Don Gelasio Caetani, an American educated engineer who performed valued service in land reclamation projects. Branches Prepare Agenda The corporations which make up the economic parliament, representing every branch of national activity, already have prepared their agenda.* In matters pertaining to their own economic life, they will act as units When thf re is a question which affects the economic life of the country as a whole it will be referred for discussion to the general council, vhich will decide and send its decision to Mussolini. After his approval the decision will be sent to the king for his royal assent. Then it will have the force of law. An indiaction of the nature of the work already under consideration is given in the agenda of the corporation for cereals, which will discuss first the type of contract or bill of sale to be used in the sale of flour, regulation of the wheat market in its relation to selling, and the perfection of milling.
