Kirom all public and political activity
and various of his advisors whose
identity has not been made known
were imprisoned. The action fol-
lowed report of a committee into
Beiloni's activities as mayor of
Milan.
The charges provoking the in-
vestigation were levelled by Roberto
Farinacci. former secretary of the
fascist party and now provincial
secretary at Cremona. Farinacci
claimed Belloni favored the New
York bankers Dillion Read and
Company In return for a large
money compensation in allotting a
! loan of $30000000 to the city of
! Milan in 1927.
Exonerate Belloni
Tlie committee exonerated Eel-
lom pf this charge but found he
had used his office to increase
greatly his private fortune.
Farinacci himself was subjected
to scatching criticis mby the pre-
mier who said: “The head of the
government deplores in most force-
ful manner the action of Attorney
Farinacci. deputy In parliament
and member of the grand coun-
cil for having brought publicity and
grave defamatory accusations
touching directly the fascist party
anda great banking institution of
the United States.
“These accusations which the
committee has ascertained arc
wholly without foundation have
furnished to remains of anti-fas-
cists. to radical Masonic elements
of Milan. Italian and foreign a new
pretext for comments to damage
the kingdom.’’
The committee's report on the
Dillion. Read loan was that the
loan itself was regular but that thp
negotiations were carried on by Bel-
loni irregularly.
Were Deputies
Both men were deputies In the
Italian chamber and Farinacci was
a member of the fascist grand
council.
Mentioned in the committees re-
port as specific activities of Belloni
were for instance paving re-pav-
fng unpaving and repaving of Mer-
avigli street each time giving the
contract to a company in which he
was interested. He also was exec-
utive in a gas company which ob-
tained favorable gas contracts from
! the city.
The Dillion. Read and Company
loan referred to in the charges was
made April. .927. and was for 65
per cent interest at 88.50 lire in
the hundred payable in 25 years.
1 The Banca Commerciale Italiano
made what many considered a bet-
ter offer but was turned down

Modest Edison Protege to
Take Engineering Course
WEST ORANGE. N. J . Aug. 3.
—(A*) Selected from among the
youth of the nation as the pro-
tege of Thomas A. Edison. 16-
year-old Wilbur B. Huston has no
illusions he ever will be as great
as the famous inventor.
Displaying great modesty after
announcement of his winning the
Edison scholarship he said:
”1 wish to correct the erroneous
impression that anyone can be
selected as successor to Thomas
A. Edison. I am not foolish
enough to think I ever can be as
great as he is.”
The son of Bishop S. Arthur
Huston of the Episcopal diocese
of Olympia. Wash. made a mark
of 92 in the searching Edison
questionnaire to which the 49
competing youths were subjected.
He was the last to finish.
He retained his modest and
amiable bearing in the face of a
barrage of questions from news-
papermen.
Not Boy Scoot
He has never been a boy scout*
or a member of the Y. M C. A.
he told them his hobby is col-
lecting specimens of marine biol-
ogy. He was on the fencing team
of Lakeside school at Seattle. He
has never smoked. His favorite
reading is biography.
He was revealed by the ques-
tionnaire as one who would sacri-
fice comfort for success but not
honor health happiness love
riches nor reputation.
He thinks a lie permissible “in
case of serious trouble pain and
grief and you do not benefit
yourself in any way."
As to the future of the automo-
bile he believes it will become
subordinate to the airplane as a
means of transportation to be
used only for short distances. He
pi’idicted the electrification of
ai» planes.
Tuition Paid
He will receive tuition in the
Massachusette Institute of Tech-
nology for four years the school

LIBEL ACTION
NAMES WEEKLY
PUBLICATION
Colliers Magazine Is
Made Defendant As
Result of Political
Articles
Two libel suits asking $1.-
000000 in damages were
filed against P. F. Collier &
Son Co. in the federal dis-
trict court here by R. B.
Creager national republican
committeeman from Texas.
The suits were filed on
two articles in Colliers which
alleged that Creager was
guilty of graft and patron-
age irregularities. The ar-
ticles were “Jobs for Jack”
written by William G. Shep-
herd in the June 15 issue*
and "High Handed and Hell Bent’5
written in June 22 issue by Owen
P. White. The first article dealt
with a'leged frauds in the patron-
age system in Texas. The second
concerned the political situation In
Hidbigo county. Sheriff A. Y.
Baker was the main figure in the
article but Creager was mentioned. -
Creager is seeking *250.000 actual
and $250000 exemplary damages in
each suir. Separa'e suits are made
against each of the two articles.

cally place the case in the federal

em district of Texas. This term is1
scheduled to open here Dec. 2 with

are as follows: Kennerly Williams.
Lee. Hill and Sears of Houston;
West «fc Hightower. R. E. Green
Graham. Graham 6c Graham and
Dftvenport West and Ransom all
of Brownsville.
Creager alleges that the reading
matter and cartoons contained in.'
each of the articles are libelous
false and untrue. He accuses Col-
liers of consistently following "yel-
low Journalism.’* 9 ^
Allegations
