. Mussolini Meets Criticism With Stern Measures ^Premier Put# Italy Under Vir tual Martial Law to Sup press Unrest; Fascist Pa pers Approve. By International Newe Service, Rome, Jan. 6.—Premier Benito Mussolini today stood in the position of a man who has staked all on one throw of the dice. With a strong show of fascist force and a continued campaign of suppres sion and confiscation of the opposi tion press, he was attempting “to clear the situation in 43 hours,” as he promised, using the identical meth ods which swept faclstn into power in 1922. To his friends, to the fascist press and to independent newspapers his action was the only alternative of a great leader who has done his best tc conciliate his enemies and had met with continued rancor. To his enemies the partial mobiliza tion of the black shirts and the ruth less confiscation of opposition news papers were a final dramatic gesture - of a leader whose popularity was waning. Position Weakened. There was little doubt that the po sition of the fascist administration was considerably weakened and tho demonstration of power somewhat be dimmed by the resignation of Gino Sarrochi, minister -of public works, and Senator Casatl. minister of educa tion, who, with the ministers of war and the navy, were the sole remain ing members of the cabinet who were not fascists. But the fascist premier met this with immediate appointment of two other liberal deputies to the cabinet. The secession from the black shirt j party of former Premier Salandra also came at an Inopportune time for Mussolini. "I have lost faith in fascism,” Sal 'S. andra said. "My work for the past two years to Insert fascism In tho normal life of the country has »been • destroyed.” To offset these adverse terms, how ever, Mussolini today had the deliri ous approval of the fascist news papers, who pleaded with him to con tinue the renewal of force against the administration's enemies and con sider the steps taken so far as only /the preliminaries in “restoration of _ tranquility to Italy.” Kxpect Stern Decree. It was believed a decree would be forthcoming soon declaring that all deputies who do not attend sessions of parliament would be deprived of their seats. The boycott bad been the » weapon of opposition deputies and I their means of showing their disap f proval of “Mussolini despotism.” Mussolini practically has placed : Italy on a basis of modified martial law, with the strictest orders for sup ‘ pression of anti fascist organizations, spoilnl militia guarding the railway stations and the fascist prefects au thorized to mobilize tho black shirt militia. Fascist! claimed the opposition had planned to create a state of anarchy '» by disorganizing the railways. They “ claim a plot was discovered to burn “ the railway stations and say attempts - to carry this out were mads in some parts of the country. The government has ordered the ;• dissolution of the Italia Ribera associ 5 atlon, composed of former soldiers who are opposed to fascism.

New Steam Power Plant Expected to Revolutionize Art of Aviation By FRANCIS •» TIETSORT. Universal Service Staff Correspoedent. New York, Jan. 5.—-Flight across tha Atlantic behind a powerful mo tor that will not go dead. Non-stop flights across the conti nent at will. Nqn-explosive engine, using no gasoline or volatile gas, but a fuel costing three cents a gallon. A noiseless engine which will last 50 years, carry an airplane 300 miles an hour and start instantly by pulling a lever In the cockpit. Supremacy for .America In mill tary and commercial aviation. These are a few of the startling headlights on the development of a compact, powerful and lightweight steam power plant of high pressure for aviation use, which were made public here today. The inventor, H. Crossland Pfaff, mechanical engineer, who has spent seven years and 3300,000 In perfect ing the new power plant, has called In aeronautical engineers to exam ine Its application. Eliminates Dangers. They pronounce It the solution of both heavier and lighter than air navigation. They declare It will eliminate all the dangers of short lived and temperamental Internal combustion gasoline engines. The engine already Is applied for auto mobile use. Maj. John Butler, secretary of the joint aeronautical board of the army and navy at Washington, who came to New York to learn some of the details of the marvelous develop ment In aviation power plants, left town for Washington saying he was convinced 'the Pfaff system would revolutionize all flying. He added: "If ltls found to be as completely adaptable to various types of planes as it has been to several types of automobiles, and engineers assure , me that it Is, this will be the great est single advance in the history of flying since the Wright brothers first flew at Klttyhawk.” Major Butler said he would under take to arrange for prompt tests of the Crossland system, ss It is known, by the army air service en gineering service at McCook field, Dayton, O. Installation Simple. It was explained by Pfaff and other engineers to the Universal Service that application of the new high compression steam power plant to an airplane presented less difficulties than the Installation In a plane of a I.iherty motor, which weighs 730 pounds without gas, oil or water. The Crossland plant has been «p plied with great success to automo biles. In the case of airplanes, the propeller Is balanced by means of a flywheel. In aviation use, Pfaff said, his system, with a four-cyltn der steam engine, gives the same power Impulses as a 16-cyllnder, four-cycle internal combustion mo tor. Pfaff, who Is making his head quarters with Arthur B. Pendleton, of the Architects Samples corpora tion, 101 Park avenue, said his chief engineer, A. 8. Dearborn of Uhl cago, an eminent authority on high pressure steam power plants, would give his services to the United States government for aviation de velopments. IJe added: (rude Oil Is Fuel. "If neressarv In case of national emergency, we could put these en gines into aviation production in four months." One of the significant points con cerning the power plant is that it uses crude oil of 28 points gravity as fuel. This Is obtainable In the east for three rents and in the weal for three and one half cents a gal Ion."" The flames, from a burner which gives 100 per cent combus tion, do not coine in direct con tact with the boiler tubes. The engine Itself, being steam driven, has an indefinite life. It might last 50 or 60 years. An In ternal combustion engine such as the I.iherty, using gasoline which Is ex ploded in the cylinders with an elec tric spark, has an efficient life of from 100 to 200 hours. The Packard engines of the May bach type in the dirigible Shenan doah, have a problematical life of 1.000 hours, when they will ha\e to he taken down. The combustion In ths ?*faff plant, which la Insulated with high ly compressed asbestos packing, with a smooth enameled surface on the outside, is placed forward of the steam generator. This gives a naturally Induced draft from the head of the airplane. Greater Power. The steam unit Is declared to provide greater power with the same or a less weight than that required for a gasoline engine The engine (tarts almost instantly by pulling tha throttle, aa la the case with a steam locomotive. This will ehvlata hand whirling of the pro peller and self-starters. There 1* en elimination of all vi bration alnca there are no volcanic Ilk# explosions in tha cylinders, as la tha rasa with Internal combus tion gasoltnemotors. Vibration cuts down power. Another big point of superiority with the steam engine employed, as compared with a gas engine is that steam expansion takes the place ot the explosions and power is ap plied at both ends of the piston stroke. There Is no carbonization ot cy linders nor fouling of them, and there is no exhaust of poisonous carbon monoxide, the pest of both automobile and aviation engines. There is a large steam chest, or a reserve, so a plane out ot fuel can still travel many miles. Virtually Noiseless. The new engine is extremely flex ible and runs as smoothly as the power applied in an electric vehicle. Sixty per cent of the troubles of an internal combustion engine, statis tics show, are ignition troubles. There is no ignition in the Pfaff engines. Faulty ignition has been the cause of many an airplane crash. Revolutions per minute of the propeller shaft are a matter of ad justment and gearing. In the case of a Liberty gasoline motor applied to the standard De Haviland plane, the propeller revolves at from 1,350 to I,GOO times per minute. (Copyright, ms.) I. i . i Employe Admits Slaying Victim of Car “Accident” Tells Authorities He Killed in Self Defense After Quar rel Over Woman, Then Burned Machine. Wymore, Neb., Jan. 4.—Owen Ire mend of Mt. Clare, Neb., murdered his employer, Owen Brown, Washing ton county (Kan.) farmer, in a quarrel over a woman, Iremend, or as he is known here, Jack McMahon, so confessed to Sher iff McLeod, it became known tonight and the second chapter was written in one of the most sensational slay ings in northeastern Kansas. Last Wednesday Iremend stumbled into a farm house and declared that he had been in an automobile acci dent )n which Brown was killed. He was given medical attention and tak en to a hospital while authorities went to investigate. On a lonely road, in a ditch, they found Brown’s sedan, badly burned, and with Brown’s body stuffed Inside. Investigation showed that the car had been pushed backward and then Upped Into the ditch and had not gone off the road while rounding a curve as claimed by Iremend. The discovery led to examination of the snow-covered ground about the car. Beneath the snow blood stains were discovered. And when a deep wound was found on Brown's head orders were issued for Iremend's ar rest. Than it was discovered that he had not been injured in any manner and that the injuries which were hurriedly bound up at the farmhouse had been faked. “Self-defense,” pleads Iremend In his written confession. “We quar reled over a woman and Brown at tacked me. I killed him to save my self.” And self-defense will be the plea made by his lawyer, it was said here tonight. Brown, according to his wife, was in the habit of carrying large sums of money and on th* night he was struck down and his body crammed into the car to cremate he had in his possession $300. No trace of the money could be found. "I didn’t steal the money!’’ is Ire mend’s reply to the charge that he murdered Brown for his $300. “It was over a woman, lie struck nt me ' and I hit him on the head. That’s all.” Iremend, who is 28. was born at Coriland, CJage county, Neb. lie had been In the employ of Brown for two years. # Poor Shoes Keep ‘Kiddies’ at Home 22 Boys and Girls Unalde to Return to School After Vacation.
