PARIS, Jan. 25.-(P)-Four pistol
shots were exchanged without ef-
fect today in a duel between Deputy
Andre Hesse and John Beindeix,
Paris lawyer, who met to settle dif-
ferences growing out of charges aired
in connection with the monumental
Bayonne bank scandal.
Hesse, lawyer for the large Sergei
Stavisky, founder of the failed Bay-
onne pawnshop, regarded as an in-
sult a newspaper article written by
Beineix.
They left the dueling ground un-
reconciled.
The men fought in a secluded spot
on the outskirts of Paris known as
the Pac des Princes, which formed
a part of the old fortifications of the
city.
The spot has been the scene of
many duels in the past.
The morning was freezing and
cloudy, making it necessary for them
to wait until there was sufficient
light.;
Dueling is against the law in
France and the time and location of
the encounter had been kept secret
to forestall official interference.
The adversaries left their homes

early in the morning and went with
seconds to the homes of friends,
later driving to the "field of honor,"
which is only a stone's throw from
the famous Bois de Boulogne and
the historic race course Auteuil and
Longehamps.
After brief preliminary talks with
their seconds, the men took their
positions and on a given signal each
fired two shots-but without results.
Although honor had been satisfied,
according to the ancient dueling
tradition, the men refused to be rec-
onciled and left the dueling ground
without shaking hands.
Their quarrel was to give added
bitterness as both were political rivals
of the same district of Charente-
Inferieure.

Federal operatives scoured underworld haunts in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Chicago for clues in the
kidnapping of Edward G. Bremer (lower right), wealthy St. Paul banker, held for $200,000 ransom. Walter'
Magee (upper left), friend of Bremer, was ready to act as intermediary in behalf of Adolph Bremer (upper
right, wealthy brewer and father of the victim. James Quinehan (center), milk truck driver, believes he
was a witness to the kidnaping, which occurred when a sedan halted the Bremer car (lower left) at an in-

tersection.

Bremer's machine later was recovered.

French Parliament Is
Threatened By Premier
PARIS, Jan. 25.-(A')-Premier Ca-
mille Chautemnps today threatened to
resign and take his cabinet with him
if the chamber of deputies created a
parliamentary committee to investi-
ga'te the Bayonne pawnshop scandal.
The scandal itself, resulting from
the operations of Serge Stavisky, who
muleted the French public of $40,000-
000, then committed suicide to. avoid
arrest, was the signal for numerous
mob demonstrations which have oc-
curred in Paris throughout the last
week.
. Chautemps insisted that the gov-
ernment would clwean up the condi-
tions which made the r Stavisky
scandal possible but agreed only to
accept a non-political civic com-
mittee composed of judges and par-
liamentarians to aid the work.

LONDON, Jan. 25.-(P)--Snarled
and crippled traffic under a black
fog, the worst in years, found thou-
sands of Londonaires marooned in
bus and rail stations early today
after a night of mishaps which
caused four deaths. Scores were in-
jured.
Many train schedules were can-
celled entirely. Thousands of pass-
engers were held at various stations.
Omnibus and train service was
largely suspended. One tram got
lost. Labeled Streatham Common,
it pulled into Streatham Hill, a mile
off the route.
Taxis refused fares and hugged
the curbs. Private cars were stalled
all over London. Collisions were nu-
merous. In one traffic snarl nine
automobiles and in another seven of
them became inextricably tangled.
The great fog blanket extended
from Doncaster in the north to Sus-
sex and East Engia, and was accom-
panied by temperatures just below
freezing. Southwestern England was
clear and bright.
