Bullet Fired j by Assassin Kills Deputy Italian Legislator Slain in Vengeance for Death of Matteotti; Slayer Captured. DENIES HID OF UCCHPUCES By International News Service Milan, Italy, Sept. 12.—There was tu-MC repercussion from the Matte otti today when Armando Casalinl, a fascist member of the chamber of deputies, was shot and mortally wounded on his villa estate today by a private guard. Casalinl died a few hours later. It was first believed that crime was one of private vengeance without any political significance, but it proved that the assassin had acted from a political motive. The murderer, Antonio Coral, told police he killed Casallni to vindicate the assassination of Socialist Deputy Matteotti. A number of pictures of Matteotti were found in Corsi's pockets. Coral said he acted alone, that no one directed or aided him.

Haas Brothers "The Shop for Women'' BROWN UTH AND BLOCK DOUGLAS ** -r X - Ex-Actress, Helplessly Maimed, Sits by Window After Conquering Pain, Keeping Her Cheerful Smile “Time Heal§ Everything and It Will Heal Me,” She Says Optimistically. New York, Sept. 12.—Persons fond of asking why the wicked should flourish like the green bay tree, why the young father of a poor family should be struck down to his death by accident while some worthless, un loved old man may pass the hundred year mark, why evil days come to the brave and why the coward and the cutthroat may pass unaoathed— these people may ask themselves an other riddle. It concerns the pitiful case of Doro thea Antel. Dorothea, young, beau tiful and once a talented actress, for the last five years has not risen from her bed. Nor has she yet been able to lie upon it. In rigid sitting posi tion, sustained by a steel packet, Dorothea has nevertheless triumphed over the fiery dragons of pain that rest during the day, the better to rav age their victims by night. And under her fighting armor of steel Dorothea Ante! must surely wear the red badge of courage! You don't see the badge right away. First you see the invalid in a room as lovely as a stage setting. She is as dainty as a bisque doll. Golden curls, a light blue, quilted silk dressing gown, pillows piled up behind her— dimpled cheeks. All soft and pretty with no suggestion of pain or cruelty. Injured Spine in Fall. Then a friend lifted the sheet—and disclosed the cruel thing that hap pened to this young girl. Five years ago, when she was hur rying, after a performance, down a rickety staircase in an old theater, Dorothea Antel fell and injured her left leg and her spinal column. Since then she has fought and won an en durance contest with all the devils that beset a hurt body. Massage is out of the question—to soothe nerves or restore circulation—since the in jured girl cannot endure tire agony of a vigorous touch. When the bed linen is changed and the matress turned, she must take opiates to en dure being turned over. Only once in a few weeks can this operation take place, yet the linen is always fresh and sadly unwrinkled—owing to the rigidity of the bed's occupant. "Time heals everything, and time will heal me." Dorothea says. "I had to have a home and an in come ,and I had to lift my mind out of this horror, so I went into busi ness.” ' The nurse, meanwhile, had ever so gently lifted up the sheet to show me her patient s injury. Hie miracle of human resiliency—that a lovely young woman so stricken can smile as she tells you about it all! Fartly Supports Self. The left foot is dark, swollen and useless. "Ths doctors gave me no hope—at first, you see. I had no money—awl RUSSIAN PAPERS LAMBAST HUGHES Moscow, Bept. 12.—Caustio edi torials, highly abusive of Charles K. Hughes, the American secretary of state, continue to appear in the bol shevik papers. The articles take issue with Mr. Hughes upon his attitude toward soviet Russia. One of the most sarcastic of these outbursts appeared in today's Pravdav. It was based on the recent survey by Mr, Hughes of American foreign policy since 1921. The writer strives to convey the impression to readers that the question of recognt tlon of Russia is one ^>f the most, im portance in the present political cam paign in the United States. ~ inagr f , DOFX^THR^ ATsj^TBX/._j it was haul to get the rght attention. Then I knew I would have to system atize niy life, even though the suf fering could not be avoided.” In the cozy apartment at No. 600 West l«6st street, Dorothea Anld has an agency for a well known and re liable braml of hosiery. She has a magazine subscription agency. She takes orders for holiday cards. In spite if her own effort* at self-support, friends insist upon hel'i ing. So that many prominent .o-trees es and other professional women plan a benefit for their beloved Dorothea —among them Eva I-e Galilenne, Minnie Dupree and Mildred Holland. "Mildred Holland got me the stock ing agency, and Minnie Dupree has also done wonders for me. I could never have got on without them.
