NOT GOING TO LONDON TO SIGN PACT INQUIRY INTO MURDER PLOT Rome, November 13. The “Agenzia Roma” says that owing to pressure of Parliamentary business, Signor Mussolini is not coming to London to sign the Pact on December 1, but will be represented by the Locarno delegates. It is also announced that an official inquiry into the Zaniboni affair has disclosed that a carefully-laid plot had been arranged to assassinate Signor Mussolini and create a civil insurrec-tion.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

SHOW CASES RAIDED ATTEMPTED THEFTS IN MID-CITY A thief or thieves made a raid last night on some show cases outside two city shops. In both instances the goods were apparently left untouched through the vigilance of the police. A big "island” show case in front of Mr. Herb Price’s establishment in Willis.. Street was attacked, the locks being wrenched off, but the frequent patrolling of the vicinity by Constable Bruce apparently interrupted the raid, for a careful examination of the stock by an employee failed to disclose the loss of any goods. A similar type of show case in front of Eowlds shop in Manners Street was also forced open, but here again apparently no goods were taken The thief was evidently disturbed by the approach of the constable on the beat, in this instance Constable Hercock. As the attempted thefts took place late in the evening the streets were nearly empty. The broached show cases at each shop contained a large quantity of men’s valuable wearing apparel, and a good haul was seemingly contemplated.
