Duce listened to a long report of conditions among the Fascists of America and expressed keen satisfaction over the statistics, which showed a high standard of efficiency. The Premier sent his cordial greetings to the Fascists of the United States through the Count. "More than ever is flying a necessity," Premier Mussolini today telegraphed to Deputy Fornl, congratu lating the deputy on obtaining a pilot's brevet.

3 (P The United States Embassy has received a note from the Mexican Foreign Office announcing the arrival of Federal troops at the Amparo Mines in the State of Jalisco for the protection of American lives and property. There are serious labor troubles in that district. A dispatch from Mazatlan to El Universal says that Federal troops have dispersed the bandits who kid SAYS HIS COUNSEL HAS 'FRAMED' HIM Attorney for Craham Cite That as Evidence That Holdup Prisoner Is Insane. Counsel for Daniel J. Graham the policeman indicted for the murder of Judson H.

Pratt, paymaster. for the $4,700 payroll he was carrying, made it clear yesterday that their defense would be that then client is completely Insane and was so at the time of the slaying. MnJ. Thomas T. McDonald, of de fense counsel, paid a short visit to Graham in the Tombs yesterday af ternoon and after leaving declared that he had found the Indicted patrolman dirty, unshaven and laboring under a delusion that his own lawyers wede trying to "frame" the murder charge against him.

"Who the hell are you anvhow?" Major McDonald said that Graham shouted at him, then launching into a denunciation of his attorneys, friends and others who are working in his behalf, but whom he charged with "framing" him. Two Letters Made Public At the same time Leonard A. Snlt- kin. senior ucfen.se counsel, made public two expressing the writ ers belief that Graham was insane. On was from Dr.

Edward S. Cowles of 591 Park Manhattan, an alienist, who declared himself "convinced that Graham is suffering either from general paresis, dementia precox or some other delicate men tal disease which would account tor the murder he committed, if he is guilty of it." Dr. Cowles offered to make a mental examination of the defendant without charge. The second letter, anonymous, which was signed "An Old Neighbor of Dan's," declared that in his boyhood Graham used to be called "Donkey Dan" and "Nutty Graham," and suggested questioning his old neighbors, former pals, "as I am sure you would get quite a few witnesses who would vouch that he is mentally defective." LIMEQUAT ADDED TO FRUIT FAMILY The limequat Is the latest addition to the fruit clan. The new fruit is the child of the kumquat orange and the West Indian lime.

This recent addition to the citrus family inherits the best qualities of its parents and the faults of neither. Plant breeders of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington are enthusiastic over it and predict great popularity when the juices of the fruit are better known. The limequat was born at Eustis, this summer under the most favorable auspices. It is the size of the lime and its color is a warm yellow, between that of the grapefruit and the oranje. It is of tmn skin but very firm fiber, extremely Juicy, ha3 few seeds and has a iiavor superior to that ot the lime.

It may be grown over a wide territory without the danger of freez' ing, which makes the lime so diffi cult to grow except in a limited area, and it is this fact which causes plant breeders to predict a great future lor tne limequat. 5450,000 BREVOORT BUILDING IS SOLD The Brevoort Building, at the southwest corner of Fulton st. and Bedford ave. and extending to Bre voort a landmark of the Bedford section, has been purchased by Loo pold Zirinsky, Brooklyn real estate operator, from Bernard J.

caretaker on the George Whitney estate on Willets saw a light on the third floor of the residence. Knowing that Mr. and Mrj. Whitney are In Maine and that the chauffeur sleeps on the ground floor, he aroused the watchman and the two made their way to the house. The burglars had gained entrance by breaking a heavy plate glass in the front door, and had gone directly to the sleeping apartments of Mr.

and Mrs. Whitney, despite the tact that the house is a rambling one with many odd turns to halls and stairs likeiy to confuse a stranger to it. Leaped From Window. The burglars took a gold wrist match, cigarette case and cuff links belonging to Mr. Whitney when they heard Coneral and the watchman approaching, and, rushing to the window, they leaped to the roof of the conservatory which is two stories high.

One of them landed on metal and slid into the branches of a pine tree, the other crashed through the glass and fell on the plants below. He picked himself up and, smashing through the nearest pane, made a dash across the lawn. By this tune the chauffeur was awake and saw the lights of a wait ing motorcar and the two men run ning toward It. The light was too dim to identify the men or the machine. Lost Straw Hat One of the burglars, however, lost a straw hat in his flight and both, according to Lieutenant Steck, finger print expert of the Nassau county De tective Bureau, left a number of fingerprints.

Detective Paul Crowley declared it would be impossible for anyone to go direct to the Whitney bedroom unless he were familiar wiih the house and had been in it before.

"Ah said Joe Jefferson in his ln-initable role of Rip Van Winkle, "we re so soon forgot." Ncne who heard him forgot An-onj rem was Amelia Binsham, his con temporary. They buried her yesterday from 103 Riverside Manhat-tn. the eerie residence of memories. statuary and black hangings which Jefferson once lived and blch she purchased after his death. It was from here that her husband, Lloyd Bingham, departed to go with Ford on the Peace trip and never returned.

Like Jefferson, Mrs. Bingham loved the Church of the Transfiguration. and it was here the services were held yesterday. In a stained glass window Jefferson looked down on her coiitn. which rested for a brief moment at the lychcate.

It is a curious window or a church. It shows Jefferson as lip. his hand resting on the shoulder of the actor John Holland, who war refused burial by a number of Epis copal churcnes. lenerson sentiment. "God bless the little church around the corner." uttered when the Church of the Transfiguration did not refuse, ap pears under the Christ outside the lychgatc on 29th St.

More Than 1,000 at Service. More than 1.000 persons attended the services. Among them were many gray haired women, who were the matinee pins of yesteryear. Thev Uad applauded the young and radiant Amelia back in the gay nineties. Others were actors and actresses who never will tread the boards again, wearing their shabby raiment with jaunty bravery that twitched the heart to see.

There was about the gathering the inevitable heartache which pertains to autumn. The group was largely feminine. Many eyes were wet when Mrs. Bingham's faithful negro maid, who had served her many years, was over come witn grief and had to be com forted by relatives. These included Mrs.

Bingham's sister, Mrs. Mino Les lie of Hicksville, Ohio, who had placed the great sheaf of lilies and white roses on the bronze casket. Standards of the National colors and the State flag of Ohio were placed near the casket as it lay in stale in chapel in the morning, being placed there by the New York Chapter ot the Daughters of Ohio under the di-1 rcction of Mrs. Sturgis 8.

She Did Not Seem Old. Mrs.

Bingham's passing removed another of those Junolike women who were so often met with on the stage of former generations and are so rarelv seen today when the boyish firm and the hipless figure prevail. She belonged to the age of Lillian Russell. Ada Rchan. Ellen Terry, Mine. Moieska, Julia Arthur, Marie Dressier and other great stars, to whose names may be added those of women somewhat younger, Ethel Barrymore, Blanche Bates and Nance O'Neill.

The "little girls" of their day were built on such sturdy lines as Delia Fox and Fritzi ScheH. Coupled with abounding vitality and good health, these women had beauty and what was once known as "a presence." Amelia Bingham did not seem oia to those who knew her within the last decade. She had been ill for eight months. Since her husband's death at Christianla. while a member of the Ford peace party, she had sorrowed.

She had a genuine affection for Llovd Bingham, her husband since girlhood, their romance being a pleasant thing to see as the years passed by. Every one knew how Amelia lelt about Lloyd, and he about her. and liked them both the better for their good fortune In such mutual happiness. Flourished 30 Yean Ago. Thirty years ago Mrs.

Bingham, then 28. was at the height of her popularity. The photographs of that period show her as a tall, handsome young woman with the hour-glass waist of the period, her masses of fair hair worn "fluffy" in the days when the "fascinator" was the popular evening headdress. She wore the ornate costumes of the day with a decided air of being able to carry off their yards of material and copious trimming without effort. Born In Hicksville.

Ohio, on March 20. 1800. the daughter of a Methodist hotel keeper named Smiley, the pretty, blond and radiant Amelia attracted the attention and soon won the enduring love of the young barn stormer. Llovd Bingham, who per suaded her father that Amelia could be a decent woman and an actress at the same time. She proved that her sweetheart, afterward her hus band was right.

No one ever heard any scandal connected with Mrs. Bingham's name, and the fact that she scorned the arts of the vamp pos sibly accounts for the fact that she had so many women friends. She was entirely lacking In that slightly feline streak possessed, alas, bv some of the mnjl charming members of the uneerlani sex.

One of the best known of the plays in which she appeared was "His Excellency the Governor." In 1900 she went to London and saw a number of actresses managing tneir own companies, ene deter mined to do the same thing, being at the height of her popularity. In "The Climbers." by Clyde Fitch, she opened at tne bijou, Mannattan in January, 1901, and had a long run, as long runs went belore "Abie Irish Rose' had made its appearance and set an unneard oi standard for the profes' sion. Shortly before the World War she starred with Douglas Fairbanks and William H. Crane in "The New Henrietta," as well as a revival of "The (jumpers.

Husband's Death a Shock. Lloyd Bingham decided to go with the Ford Peace Expedition to Europe, was taken ill and died in Christianla in 1915. His death was a great shock to Mrs. Bingham, for they were inseparable comrades. She retired within the curious house with its black curtains that throw its many maroie statues oi Shakespeare and actors and actresses of other davs into bold and startling relief.

There were times when speculations in stocks and real estate threatened her with poverty and she feared she might have to sell the house she loved so much, since Mr. Bingham had collected the statues and other curios that require so much space to house. Last year, In order to hold on to her familiar surroundings, in which she said every object spoke of her husband, she appeared as the keeper of a dive in "The Pearl of Great Price." Unlike many actresses, she did not care for the role, saving she naa always piayea me parts ot decent women." Two years ago robbers entered the "House of Statues" at 103 Riverside Drive and made off with $1,500 worth of loot, while Mrs. Bingham and her maid with them. Thev over looked $20,000 worth of old-fashioned jewelry beloved by its owner dia mond crecents and horse shoes, lorg nettes on long chains, the great brooches of another dav.

She won her title in the open, moreover, polling 9,000 votes out of 30.000 as the "American State Queen" against the famous Lillian Russell, olten declared the most beautiful woman in the world, against Ada Rehan, slim little Maude Adams, and Fannie Davenport. The man and woman lying side bv side in Woodlawn Cemetery today gave each other a great loyalty from the day they first met in Hicksville. She could not bear to disrupt her husbands' collection of marble statues of Shakespeare, of actors and of actresses, which he posed so carefully against their black velvet backdrops. Now, however, there probably will be an auction sale this fall of the statuary collection of the late Lloyd Bingham. It takes too much space to house such a collection for the average actor or actress to be able to afford one.

It has been held together bv sheer sentiment and will power. One statue probably will go one way now, another somewhere else. Life is like that. But the woman lying so quietly beside Lloyd Bingham doesn't care now. ELECTION OFFICERS SWORN IN BY BOARD Officials of the Board of Elec.
