OSSINING, N. Y., Jan . 29. UP)— Sing Sing's new executioner, a bit nervous and shrouded in mystery, has officiated at his first •execu­tion in the death house.

Late last night he threw . t h e switch twice, sending Emil Klat t and Lulgi Rapito. convicted mur ­derers, to their death. He did not wear a mask or robe as had been predicted, bu t did preserve- care­fully the secret of his Identity. None of the witnesses knew him as he strode down the corridor with quick, nervous steps and went about his task quietly. He a p ­peared about sixty years old.

The new executioner succeeds John Hulbert , who resigned, and has kept his name bidden a t the request of Warden Lawes.

Klat t went t o his death, -with vengeance in his hear t for all 'squealers.' He was faithful to the code of the underworld to the last. Ambrose Ross, F rank Daley and William McNamara were the ob­jects of his hatred.

McNamara, who is now In White Plains prlsbn. was Klat t ' s accomplice in tbe murder of Greg­ory George in Dobbs Ferry, ten years ago. His death sentence was commuted to life . i m p r i s o n m e n t because he turned state 's evidence.

**Jtaplto. convicted of the murder of Asa Kline In a quar re l over a woman, went to his death without a word.

J. K. Fronk, Wanted For $ 3 0 0 , 0 0 0 Bank Swindle in West, Caught; Is Very 111

CHICAGO, Jan . 29. OP)—A coun­try-wide search for J. K. Fronk, Hollywood automobile dealer, end­ed early today when he was a r ­rested here on a charge of defraud­ing Los Angeles banks of $300,-000. *

He admitted, detectives said, that he had fled December 30 after being Indicted for conspiracy to defraud and said that he wag on his way back to give himself up nfter spending the last month in Seattle, Portland, New York and Chicago. Illness here prevented [him his return. A physician attended him after he was seized by Chi-

bacft to California. They awaited word from Los Angeles.

The Herald and Examiner in a copyrighted story says he admitted his connection with the swindle scheme, whereby worthless checks were deposited In banks to cover worthless checks passed , through others, but said the amount would not exceed $100,000. Anxiety for his wife and child, whom he left In Los Angeles, whon he fled, was prompting his return when Illness halted him, the newspaper quoted

cago and private operatives.

Los Angelas authori t ies yester­day said they believed he was lost here, penniless, friendless and crit­ically^ ill. The routs of his flight became known there after Charles Campbell, his chauffeur, had been located and aided In the search.

He said he would waive extradi­tion and accompany his guards

Though Los Angeles authorit ies said he bad only $800 with him when he left and had to borrow money fronj Seattle relatives, those who arrested him thought he might have more vali'abte* stowed - i n safety deposit boxes here and else­where. He bad a small ro l l , of currency on him when arrested and said his only baggage consisted of pictures of his family. He had registered a t a hotel as Carl K Voung.

M^>re than one Democratic Sen­ator asserted tl-at the entrance Into the Court was a s tep toward Join­ing the League. The Democrats have not any real issue, so the temptation to make t h e League their Issue is considerable.

the more cautious Democra ts hold back from embracing the full Wil­son League doctrine. One of these is the reaction in the Middle West.

NAVAL AIR CHIEF DISCUSSES PLANS

FOR $ 1 4 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 iA>) —

Navy plans for expenditure of $14,000,000 over a five-year period for l ighter - than-a l r craft develop­ment were discussed today by Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, the naval a i r chief, before the House naval committee.

The money' would be used for these purposes:

Two dirigibles of 6,000,000 cubic feet capacity a t a cost of ?4,000,000 each.

A training dirigible to cost J l . -500,000.

Establ ishment of a l lghter- than-air base on the Pacific coast at a cost of $4,500,000.

The Admiral also proposed to expend $1,650,000 annually for maintenance of existing lighter

Another sign that the League is a bad issue for the Democrats In the West Just now Is found in the votes of the two Indiana Repub­lican Senators. Both of them are regulars. But both were frighten­ed by ex-Senator Beveridge's tele­gram against the Court. Neither of them wished to present Mr. Beveridge with the ant i -Cour t is­sue in the next campaign in which both come up for re-election.

Tha West and Middle West, which were opposed up to the last moment to this country's entering the great war, are today an t i -Eu­ropean. The reaction from that section disappointed the hopes of the bitter-enders, who counted up­on an arising like that which they stirred against the covenant of the League In 1919. But there are still enough indications of the per­sistence of the old prejudices that the Democrats' leaders take them as a caution signal.

The United States has made two great steps forward toward co-op­eration with the League, entering Into the Court and agreeing' to take part In the League Disarmament Conference.

Advocates of the League will do well to rest content with these i until the country has become fa­miliar with the idea of co-opera- | tion with the League and until the! League by some striking action j proves Itself a great mechanism j for preserving peace and doing in­ternational Justice.
