Vera Cruz, Mexico (IP) Sad times have come upon this once gay port, and whereas in former years the populace was wont to make merry at night -the streets are deserted how after 10 p. m. i Those who miss the cabarets of the bygone white light era blame their discontent upon the governor, Col. Adalberto Tejeda.

Col. Tejeda is a rigid In addition to closing the cabarets, he has made Intoxicating liquor a scarce article In Vera Cruz. The limit came, however, when the government decided to tnaKe practical use of persons who per sisted in wandering the streets at night. The police descended upon these individuals, took them outside the city and put them to work build ing roads. Now the streets of Vera Cruz are as lonely at night as a cemetery.

ATOMS DETERMINE EARTH'S AGE Chicaeo The disintegration of tiny atomic structures is determining the aee of the earth, according to the American Research Foundation here, and uraminum atoms form a suitable yardstick for calculations, "Modern estimates of the age of the earth which range from one to threo billion of years are based on tho new theory of atomic disintegra Hon." the foundation reports. "Ra dlum was first used in calculations, but a more suitable yardstick has heen found in the mineral uranium. which is the source of radium. Its ntnms exnlndft so that It would take approximately 4,500,000,000 years ror its volume to be half consumed and Tnnlf Its atoms exDloded.

SLAYWONE "Bugs" Moran, Partner of Aiello, Seen as Possible Next Victim Chicago UP) The assassination of Joe Aiello, wealthy "alcohol king" and foe of Alfonse Capone, was viewed by police today as a possible forerunner for further alayings in Chl-cagos gangland. Belief was expressed by them that George (Bugs) Moran, reputed partner of Aiello. who was shot down from ambush on the northwest side last Thursday night, may be the next target of machine gun bullets.

In this connection the Chicago Herald and Examiner said today that Aiello's death, "halted a well organized plot to slay Al Capone." The newspaper added that the police had been informed that one of the conspirators, believing the plot would fail, "tipped off" a Capone henchman and the killing of Aiello followed. While the police were in the midst of their investigation of the Aiello death, John Alcock, acting police commissioner, made good histhreat of a month ago to give the department a "shaking up" by ordering the transfer of two captains and 91 other officers. He added that another shakeup was in the offing. HUNT CAPONE FOLLOWERS Unsuccessful in their efforts to learn anything of importance from relatives of the slain gang chief, the authorities continued a hunt for Capone henchmen, including Jack Mc-Gum, who was Indicted but never tried for connection with the machine-gun slaying of -seven followers of Moran rn St. Valentine's day in 1929.

Fasquale Prestigiacomo, at. whose home Aiello had been hiding, and who fled after the shooting, continued to keep his whereabouts secret as police sought him in the belief he could throw some light on the His attorney, Benjamin H. Vanderveld, however, promised he would produce him today. It was in front of home that Aiello, trapped by machine gun nests on three sides, was killed. The police were also confronted with another slaying that of John Gulda, described as a minor hoodlum whose body, with a bullet wound in the head, was found in a saloon.

Jo seph Uebrock, reputed owner of the place, was arrested. He was suffering from bruises, leading police1 to conclude that Guida might have been slain as a result of a brawl in the saloon. V.V REFUSE TO REOPEN PAPER RATE CASE f' Petition Filed by Group of Southeastern Carriers Is Denied BY RUBY A. BLACK i Wash. Bureau Post-Crescent Washington, D.

-The interstate commerce commission today denied the petition of a group of southeastern carriers to reopen the old Minnesota and Ontario paper car i and the Fox paper case In order to secure higher rates on wrapping paper from "Wisconsin to points in their territory. In April, 1930, these carriers filed their petition asserting that the rates from the Fox River'group in "Wisconsin particularly to Memphis, and New Orleans are "ridiculously low." They stated that the Minnesota and Ontario case had been opened to make rates on newsprint paper and so should now be again reopened to make rates on other varieties of paper. They also asked the lifting of the continuance of orders in both cases, because such orders prevent the railroads from drawing up and presenting to the commission rates which they consider reasonable. The International Paper company, the Wisocnsin Paper and Pulp Manufac turers Traffic association, and the Minnesota and Ontario Paper com-pany, Joined Green Bay and other Wisconsin interests in fighting their opening, charging that it was an at tempt to annul the decisions of the vuuuuission ana to taKe the case away from the commission and put into the hands of the carriers. The present rates from Appleton, ft representative Fox River point, are 421 cents to Memphis, 680 miles and 3 cento to New Orleans, 1,080 miles CHECKER CHUMPS PLAY APPLETON ENTHUSIASTS Apleton checker players had an opportunity to show how much they know about the game Friday evening when Del Carpenter, Rockford, 111., and H.

Washington Luis today was a prisoner in Fort CapobancA. After holding out for hours against resignation with VkorJs that he would be taken from Guanabra palace only when he had been bound hand and foot he consented late yesterday to the military junta's demans, and was taken under heavy guard to the quarters of the general stall at the fort where he will remain temporar- iiy. His de'cision finally was made at the counsel of Cardinal Leme and Monsignor Rosalvo Costa Rego, vicar general of the Rio de Janeiro diocese. He left the palace in tho company of the Cardinal, the vicar general and General Tasso Fragoso. As he passed through the reception room he bade to the assembled ministers of his cabinet, and members of the civil and military household.

Other heavily armed officers mounted the running board as the deposed president was whisked away from the scene of his nearly completed four year term as chief executive of the Brazilian union to the fort. There is little apparent animosity toward the deposed president, who generally was regarded as honest in hia convictions, but surrounded with a military and official family which many in the nation found objectionable.

I 11,000,000 DAMAGE After an orgy of destruction yes terday, in which damage estimated at $1,000,000 was done to seven newspaper offices and buildings by gangs of hoodlums, the city today presented much of its old appearance, troops and police guarded strategic centers. Theatres, cafes, bars and the like were closed last night but later In the evening groups of people emerged for quiet walks, and others motored through the streets.

Busses and street cars resumed their normal service. The newspapers A Nole, Jornal do Brasll, Palz, vanguardla, A Notlcla, Critlcla and A Ordem all suffered in the rioting. Movable property was thrown from windows into the streets and everything in flammable was burned. Faucets were opened in the buildings and streams of water seeped through them damaging property of other offices. Sao Paulo dispatches said that quiet prevailed there but that there was considerable uncertainty as to what moves were to be expected of the "federal" and "rebel" armies still alligned against each other, al though not fighting, along the Parana Sao Paulo frontier.

State offices were deserted by officials yesterday after some firing on the government palace. It was expect ed that a provisional government would be formed today.

Leaders of the coup, recognizing that he had fallen even though still refusing the technicality of his sig nature to abdication papers, an nounced his deposition and resigna tion. As a matter of fact, It was not until late Friday evening that he finally acquiesced in their de mands and left the palace under guard to become a prisoner.

SHOUSE PREDICTS DEMOCRAT VICTORY IN OHJ0JLECTI0N 'arty National Chairman Launches Bitter Attack on President Cleveland The prediction that Ohio will go Democratic in the coming congressional election was voiced today by Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic national executive committee, in an ad dress before the Cleveland City club. The reason for this tremendous shift from 1928, when you gave Mr. Hoover a majority of 800,000," he said, "is not difficult to see." The president was elected, Shouse asserted, "because he was able to convince the people of this country that he could accomplish certain things which involved the welfare of every man, woman and child in the United States. "His promises filled volumes," he continued.

"His performances are so disproportionate to these that his party spokesmen, are driven to list ing the most routine matters of gov ernment In order to show something affirmative in his record. "Not a single major promise of his campaign has been fulfilled. He promised you prosperity definitely, specially and without any ifs, buts or perhaps. And there are more shut-down factories, destitute farms and men walking the streets in search of work than at any time in the nation's history "What has become of the greater engineer, economist, sociologist and administrator whose super-wisdom compassed all things and whose elec tion meant that all our problems would be solved unerringly, scien tifically who carried in his all-embracing brain the remedies for all our Ills, and whose clarity of judgment Instantly saw through all the complications that worried lesser men?

PROPHETS WATCH NOVEMBER VOTE F0RJ2F0RTUNE Results of This Year May Have Direct Effect on Hoover Fate BY BYRON PRICE Washington W) The off-year election of 1930 furnishes extraordinary enticements to those political star-gazers who are seeking some portent of the presidential year 1932.

The turn of events has brought into interesting juxtaposition some of the most luminous members of a somewhat numerous constellation of presidential possibilities. Nearly all the aspirants who are in active politics are on the party ticket this year in some capacity. Both sides, agree that the result this yar might have a direct bearing on the Hoover fortunes two years hence. To mention but a few of 'those democrats whose friends already are talking hopefully of electoral col lege? and 1932, Joe Robinson, Smith's running mate two ago, a candidate for reelection to the senate from Arkansas and Franklin D. Roosevelt Is seeking a second term as governor of New York, in a campaign that has riveted national attention.

Albert C. Ritchie is his party's no minee, for a fourth time, for governor of Maryland; Thomas J. the Teapot Doms prosecutor, is asking for reelection to the senate from Montana, and Robert J. Bulkley has won the notice of party leaders by his campaign for a sena-torship from the normally republican state of Ohio. On republican ballots, too, will be prlntel more than one name linked in political gossip with the White House.

Dwight W. Morrow's overwhelm ing nomination for senator from New Jersey, on a platform advocating repeal of the prohibition amendment, led to Immediate demands among his admirers that he lead a wet eastern revolt against Hoover in 1932. The movement rained further headway when New Tork republicans likewise adopted a repeal plank. Morrow himself, however, called a halt by announcing that he favored Hoover's reelection. Two veterans of that western band of independents who have found themselves so often in dis agreement with their party leader ship William E.

Borah of Idaho and George W. Norris of Nebraska are candidates for reelection. In Pennsylvania Gifford Plnchot is seeking the governorship without the support of some of the most prominent of his party leaders. Ukt Borah and Norrts, he is a dry. His friends say a victory on November 4, under the circumstanc es, would put him in the front rank of available leaders in 1932.

The constitutional purpose of the national election of 19:0 is to choose a new house of representatives, one- third of the members of the senate, and some state officials. But for reasons here stated, and others too numerous to state, poli ticians will be reading returns on election night with other things in minu.

TWO EVANGELISTS FACING LOSS OF RADIOLICENSES Probationary Permits Issued to Pastors for 30-day Period BY ROBERT MACK Copyright, 1930, by Cons. Press WasliJngton-Two of tho mr-t prominent radio evangelists, Rfv. Robert P.

(Fighting Bob) Shuler, who operates 'station KGEF, at Los Angeles, and Rev. John W. Sproul, of Pittsburgh's station WMBJ, are threatened with the loss of their broadcasting licenses. Probationary licenses for 30 davs have been issued to both -tations. but for different reasons.

A constant ly mounting stack of complaints against Shuler, charging him with misuse of his broadcasting facilities, caused, the federal radio commission to cite the Los Angeles station. while alleged financial difficulties are the basis of the action against the Pittsburgh minister. For some time the commission been considering charges against Shuler, which allege that he has vehemently attacked, over the sta tion, officials and organizations of Los Angeles. The full charges are not made public by the commission. MAY HOLD HEARING It Is known, however, that decision to place him the probation, with the likelihood of ordering a public hearing at which the minister must show cause why his license should not be revoked, followed an official report that Shuler had been cited for contempt of court The rebuke was administered by the court after alleged attacks over station KGEF by Shuler, The circumstances in the Sproul case are different.

Two weeks ago he was called before the commission to defend his radio rights against rival claimants from Plttsbugh. The Sproul case had attracted some prominence when a sheriff's sale foreclosed station WBMJ, and at the commission hearing Sproul sought to regain his license, while Pittsburgh Broadcasters, a new organiza tion, and William S. Walker, Pittsburgh advertising man, applied for his position on the air. At this hearing charges were made that Sproul had "slandered" prominent people of Pittsburgh, Including his creditors, and that he used his Btatlon to "beg and plead for money." The hearing, however, was largely on the financial responsibility of the owner, it being clearly in timated by Commission Examiner Elmer W.
