Ruthless Arson Ring Revealed By Nassau Quiz Witness to 1 Blaze Tells of Death Threats and Burning of His Home Special to The Eagle MInola, April 27 A ruthless arson ring, which has applied the torch to a number of buildings in Nassau County, and which burned to the ground the home of an East Meadow citizen who dared to give testimony against it, was revealed here today as authorities prepared to present sensational discoveries to the Nassau County Grand Jury.

Headed by a New York, Cily attorney and an insurance adjuster, police say, the arson syndicate not only dealt in profits collected from the fires they set, but operated a number of alcohol stills and houses of ill fame. Their activities were concentrated in Mlneola, Manhasset and East Meadow, police said, and it is known they were responsible for several small fires and the complete destruction of two large dwellings. Aided by Citizen The investigation, headed by Lt. Albert V. Pitt, in charge of the Nassau Safety Bureau, started Dec.

1, 1933, after an East Meadow dwelling was destroyed by fire. The building was insured for $4,000 and its furnishings for $3,000. While Pitt was investigating, a resident in the neighborhood volunteered; to assist him, saying he feared his own house would be burned. This man is iedntifled by police only as "Operator 30." Operator 30 told Fitt later that he had received several threats to "finish him," and, after the police report was turned over to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, he was visited by the New York attorney and the adjuster. Received Threats They demanded that he "mind his own business" and retract what he told police, adding "Dead men tell no tales." Operator 3 refused, despite the warning, and early last February his house was burned to the ground.

It was obviously of incendiary origin, investigators said. Later, Operator 30 said, he was visited again and told that if he did not retract his testimony he would not collect insurance on his home tout that If he did he would be paid within two weeks. Threats to "break Pitt's neck" also were made to him, the witness said. 16 MUTINEERS SENTENCED Batavla, Java, April 27 C4) A court-martial today sentenced 16 officers of the mutiny cruiser De Zeven Provincien to prison terms varying from 3 days to 12 months. collected huge fees from farmers, and released in $500 bail in Caton Ave.

Hitler System Failure, Says Italian Press Duee's Followers Losing Admiration for GermansNazis Hit Back "1 By ROMULUS Special Correspondent The Eagle Rome, April 14. The joyous strains of mutual admiration that were wont to float back and forth over the Alps between Mussolini and Hitler and the minor stars on. the fascist firmament have come to a full stop these latter days, If one 's to Judge by the echoes in the press controlled respectively by the "dure" and the "feuhrer." More and more Italian fascism resents the imitation of the Nazis, which they consider too clumsy to be flattering. Jndeed they frankly express their fear lest the German copy is bringing discredit on the original, for as one of their editors points out sententiously "the best of imitations' is without any real value." Nazi Writers Score Fascism The national-socialist papers, quoted by the Roman dailies, have lost some of. their former respect and enthusiasm for the Italian brand of fascism.

Nazi writers have returned after a few weeks visit to Italy and have discovered quite a number of glaring defects in the scheme of Mussolini. These observations touched the Italian fascists on the raw and provoked violent resentments. Yesterday's II Lavoro Fascista takes up the allegations of the German critics, brushes them aside with a contemptuous gesture or two and then proceeds to dissect the German fascism with no friendly hand. Italian Papers Criticize Hitler "The Hitler system," the editor says, "may be all right when applied to the raising of fancy breeds of chickens or the improvement of horses, but it is most ridiculous in its experiments with human beings." As to the unfair and despotic treatment of the laboring classes, the Italian journal says that Hitler's subserviency to the big capitalistic interests in Germany is notorious and that the lot of the German worklngman under his regime is little better than that of a slave. The "mysticism" of the German system is characterized as "wholly unintelligible to the sober and clear-thinking Latin mind." damage is done if tires are ripped or anything like that I pay for It out of my own pocket.
