EK SLAYERS AT HAMILTON Beloved Both Mea Were Killed "By the Same Gang, ITALIAN: BOOTLEGGERS Are | gop By Provincial Po- Crime To Be Probed To the Bottom. Hamilton, Nov. 18.--Joe. L. Baytoizae and Fred Genesee were murdered by the same gang. That is the opinion shared by Inspector Hammond, of the provincial police, Chiet Clark of the Wentworth county police, and Hamilton detectives who are working on the case. And the officers are agreed on another point--if the crime is ever solved the heads of the largest bootlegging ring operat- ing between Canada and the United States will be involved. The similarity of the crimes, the manner in which the bodies were « mutilated, the scheme used to decoy the victims to the scene of the tra- gedies, which are not more than one mile apart, have convinced the police that the Italian bootlegging gang is responsible for both murders. It was learned today that Inspec- tor Hammond is now in possession of the photographs of two prominent bootleggers for whom he is now searching the east end foreign dis- trict in conjunction with a squad of plainclothes oMcers under the direc- tion of Detectives Speakman and Beckett. It Is belleved, however, that these men have left the city. Two men only recently return- ed from Italy, known to he engaged in the bootlegging business, are also being sought, it Is understood. 'Mrs. Genesee, who has been con- winced ever since the night of her . husband's disappearance, that he had been murdered, though almost prostrated with grief, when seen by reporters swore that she would have vengeance. Since the finding of the Genesee body, a dagger emble- matic of unredeemed vengeance has remained jabbed to the hilt In the centre of* a cheap wooden kitchen table in the Genesee home.

James Murdock Ridiculed---Tories Trying To . Serve Two Masters Belleville, Nov, 18 ---Encouraging reports from the northern part of the Riding of West Hastings were brought to the city last night by Charles Hanna, the Liberal candi- date who is opposing E. Guss Porter in the by-election for the Commons. In the last general election this part showed signs of falling away from Mr. Porter, and indications now are that the breach has grown, and the north will show a majority in favor of the Liberal. Although the candi- date has left the north, his interests are being looked after by the deputy apeaker, G. N. Gordon, K.C.,, M.P., of Peterboro', and Duncan Marshall, who addressed a gathering at Ban- croft last night. The Conservatives = are alarmed over the prospects, and arrange- ments are being made for five meet- ings to be addressed by Right Hon. Arthur Meighen and other party leaders. Porter Charges Ridiculed. Speaking at Deloro, Duncan Mar- dressing a series of meetings, ridi- culed the Murdock charges, claim- ing that Mr. Porter knew when they were made that they would be thrown out by the committee in- vestigating, also by the House of Commons, and that, therefore, It would be in order for him to resign. He had fought shy of any Con- servative convention, knowing that he would not be the nominee likely, of the party, but that if he could again be re-elected without the aid of a party convention he could pose as a great hero, and that the party could not, therefore, afford to drop him at the' next general elec- tion. Mr. Porter, in his campaign, was endeavoring to treat Mr. Mur- dock's action as a criminal offense, whereas his own party took an al- together contrary attitude. Read- ing from Hansard, he showed that Sir Henry Drayton had stated that the matter in point was not a crim- inal one, but rather 'ome of con- duct unbecoming to the honor of the House." Included Progressives. The very large majority of the House, including pracidcally all the independent Progressive party, had shown by their vote that Mr. Mur- dock was not guilty of the charges laid by Mr. Porter. He stated that if Mr. Porter's moral standing was on such a high plane it would be a pity to send him back where he would have to associate with the hundred and forty-nine members who by their vote showed themselves equally guilty as Mr. Murdock. He thought that Mr. Hanna 'would be a better associate for the other mem- bers of the House. Mr. Marshall dwelt upon the Gov- ernment's general policy, and stated that whereas the Conservative party preached high protection to the manufacturer, at the same time they were appealing to the farmers for votes.

Collectors were further instructed not to grant clearance to any vessel carrying intoxicating liquor as cargo when such cargo is so consigned as to necessitate transit through United States territory.

Montreal, Nov. 18.--In Octo- ber, 1919' he reported to In- spector Egan twenty-eight St. Denis street houses undesirable in character because of their connection with girls, drugs, and liquor; in October, 1920, he reported nine more; after that he ceased reporting because no improvement resulted, "and I saw it was not of much use," Abbe Etienne Blanchard, of Bt, James church, yesterday after- noon declared at the police probe. The abbe, who spoke from ten' years' experience of visiting in St. James parish, admitted that the houses were not open places of prostitution; they were rooming houses of doubtful character, Two houses, particularly, were sinister in repute because in each a young man had died from narcotics and the eriminal courts had later sent two people to the penitentiary for man- slaughter. Suggestions for improved laws came from the witness, and also from Inspector E. D. Egan, former head of morality work in .the elty and now in charge of the detective department, Abbe Blanchard thought that rooming houses should be licensed and thus controlled by the city, which could close any that became undesirable; and 'he also believed official registration of inmates would be of great assistance, His ideas followed Inspector Egan's de- claration that, seemingly, laws governing disorderly houses are faulty.
