Ohio, matter. FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 27, 1925 TWENTY PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS. Entered Peking Ruler Packs Trunks as Chili Province Revolts; Feng To Take Post, 'Tis Said Peking, November 26 (A. Marshal Tuan Chi-Jul, Chief Executive of the Peking Provisional Government, is prepared to leave Peking at a moment's notice, and the "Christian General" Feng-Yu-Hsiang is exy pected to arrive shortly, probably to assume control of the Government. The Chief Executive today informed the Cabinet he desired to resign, but his colleagues pressed him to continue in office.

Marshal Tuan's trunks, however, are all packed and preparations made for his departure. Tien Tsin, November 26 (A. General Li Ching-Ling, Civil Governor of Chihli Province, who had been counted a supporter of Chang Tso-Lin, the Manchurian dictator, has declared, Chihli Province to be independent, "in order to provide a buffer between Manchuria and Peking. The Governor says he will only accept the orders of the Chief Executive in Peking. This action amounts to open revolt against Chang Tso-Lin.

Various reports indicate a widespread intrigue resulting from the cooperation of Feng Yu-Hsiang, the "Christian General," with the Young Mukden party, who are urging Chang AUTOPSY Gives Murder Hint. Coroner Believes Man Was Robbed and Beaten and Body Placed on Track. That C. E. Coan, 65 years old, Eubanks, whose body was found on the track of the C.

and O. Railroad near Quebec road, last Tuesday night, was robbed and probably beaten, 11 not murdered, and his body then placed upon the railroad track, is the theory of Coroner D. C. Handley and police, who are working upon the case. Coan was run over by a train.

Three newly discovered clues tend to confirm this theory, Coroner Handley said. Coan was. known to carry considerable sums of money and had displayed $300 a few days before he met death. The left hip pocket had been cut or torn from his trousers and was missing. Coan was known to have carried money in a pocketbook in this pocket, but only one dime was in his pocket when the body was found.

Also a report reached the Coroner and police that a man who had been seen in the company of Coan has had considerable funds during the past few days. Engineer William Nic Westwood, who was in charge of the west -bound train and who found the body, said that when he first saw the body it was lying on the track. He was unable to stop the train until 10 cars had passed over it. He was of the opinion that a train which preceded him bad struck and killed the man and the engineer of that train was unaware of the accident. Mrs.

Bettie, Nelson, 317 West Sixth street, who identified the body, informed Coroner Handley that she beileved Coan had been robbed and murdered, as he had been at her house recently and had displayed $300 in cash. When she suggested that he ought to bank the money, he told her he always carried it with him, she said. This caused Coroner Handley to obtain an order from County Prosecutor Charles S. Bell for an topsy on the body, in the belief that it might reveal something. Dr.

Handley made the autopsy yesterday afternoon. It disclosed that the entire right side of Coan's head had been crushed in, evidently by being struck: by the train. There was 8 noticeable lack of blood in the brain and in the body, which indicated, Coroner Handley said, that the man must have lived after receiving an injury from which he had bled profusely. The crushing of his skull, attributed to the train passing over him, caused such injuries that death would have resulted instantly and the hemorrhage would have stopped with death, Dr. Handley asserted.

When Coroner Handley was formed yesterday that a man with whom Coan is known to have associated had displayed money since the body was found, the Coroner immediately ordered an investigation. The man will be asked to account for the money he is alleged to have had. Coan formerly worked as a cook in railroad camps, but recently had been employed as a laborer by the Leyman-Buick Company, Coroner Handley was told. A sister came to Cincinnati last night and claimed the body, which was forwarded to home in Eubanks for burial. ENQUIRER Indians Lace St.Xavier, 34To8; Haskell Smashes Defense; Presto Is Star For Collegians By Gene Moore.

Led by the 1925 edition of the fainous Levi brothers, and safely trenched behind the spectacular play of one McLain, who incidentally 18 playing his first year of collegiate football, the Haskell Indians invaded Corcoran Field yesterday afternoon and departed at the end of the contest -with a rare collection of Musketeer scalps dangling at their belts and with a 34-8 score to add to their already well-fortified record. The Redskins found great difficulty. in completing their plans for their Turkey Day feast, and made lit. tie impression on the Xavier goal until the second quarter had opened. But then the Indians squirmed and crawled their way through the Xavier defense for five touchdowns.

Behind the impressive play of their leader, George Levi, but in reality led by a youth named McLain, who did little more than to score four of the five tallies, kick goal after four of these, and plunge or tear his way for a total of 189 yards, the duskyhued warriors from Lawrence, turned loose one of the most impressive attacks that Cincinnati grid fans have witnessed in many a year. Finding little success in advancing the oval through the air, the Indian backs tore through huge holes in the Musketeer line or dashed around the ends or through the tackles for enormous gains, McLain, Levi, Smith and Cross bore AFTER ALL! "Would Do 'It Again!" Noted Sculptress Says, Amid Ruins of Broken Romance--Flight With Architect Recalled. Chicago, November 26 (A. Tho romance of Lloyd Wright, internationally known architect, and Maude Mirian Noel Wright, noted sculptress, that started with their flight to Janan 11 years ago, has been ended.

They lived at Spring Green, in 8.

bungalow which he had furnished at 0. cost of. $80,000. Five years later Mrs. Cheney and her two children were murdered by a crazed negro butler and the home was burned.

During the seven- -year stay of Miss Noel and Wright in Japan he designed the $3,000,000 Imperial Hotel in Tokio, one of the few buildings to resist the earthquake. He also has designed noted buildings in the United States. Under the reported alimony stipulation it was said Mrs. Wright is to receive 8. lump sum of $10,000, ly alimony of $250 and a part of the Spring Green property.

Mrs. Wright, who before the flight to Japan expressed contempt for "what the world might think," said today: "I made a mistake, but I have paid for it. Yet I would do it all over again. Mine was a greater tragedy than Mammah Borthwick's. She is dead, but I live on." FORTUNE Of Rhinelander Exhausted By Trial, Is Story--Father Said To Be Withholding Money Aid.

Joined Gang For Lark, Is Lone Admission After Ambuscade Nets Capture of Three. Companions Shot; One Dead, Is Belief, Although Body Is Not Found -Explosion Follows Battle -Store Wrecked By Professional Band.

DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Chicago, November authorities, worried to distraction by numerous recent bombings, believe they have the key to the mystery in the person of a self-reliant Ohio girl, but she managed today to keep her secrets in the face of an all-day grill. ing, cajolery, bribes, threats and other methods known to Chicago detectives. One bomber is believed to have been killed, while two others were shot and captured and the girl was captured early today when they were ambushed by 100 policemen just as they exploded a bomb which wrecked the hardware store of P. Descourouez.

The bomb tore out the whole front of the hardware store and shattered window panes for blocks around. And the rattle of pistol and shotgun fire 03. police opened upon the bombers caused consternation in the vicinity where the police ambush was laid. "DEAD MAN" MISSING. The man believed to have been shot dead had not been found tonight, despite the questioning of the three others.

Those captured: Fred Walmquist, alias Johnson, of Chicago; Joseph Avengi, barber, also of Chicago. Miss Lee McLullen, alias Lee MacClellan, alias Lee McCullem, of Columbus, Ohio. Both Walmquist and Avengi were shot in the head, but their wounds were declared to be not serious. Police, under command of Lieutenant Charles Egan, leader of the recently appointed bomb squad, had been posted at the scene early in the night. It was reported that advance information had been received that the Descourouez store was to be bombed because its proprietor had refused to close Sundays.

ORGANIZED, IS BELIEF. This, it is said, had been found to be a new avenue of activity for a crew of professional bombers who have been manufacturing bombs and placing them for the purpose of destroying property as warnings, or, in instances, to kill. Police hid until 1 a.m. It had been reported that the bomb was to be set at midnight. From midnight until 1 the neighborhood was still, with hardly a vehicle moving in the street and no pedestrians passing.

At 1 o'clock the police saw a small touring car stop before the hardware store. Instantly the watchers were alert. A man and woman, Walmquist and Miss McLullan, emerged from the rear seat. The girl walked to the threshold of the store and laid a package there. Then she and Walm- quist hurried away.

BATTLE IS BEGUN. As they did so a squad of detectives rushed at them. The girl and Walmquist, surprised, attempted flight. The two men in the car, one of them Avengi, also started. Avengi, at the wheel, stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

Simultaneously, most of the detectives, who were armed with shotguns and pistols, opened tire. Walmquist fell. The girl was caught. Avengi continued at the wheel, but the man beside him threw up his hands and slumped to the floor of the car. A detective bureau automobile loaded with men started in pursuit.

The chase continued only a few blocks when the bombers' car was overtaken. Only Avengi, remained in it. The other man who, the police declare, must have been killed, had disappeared. In the belief that his body was thrown out in the darkness, the squad continued the hunt for him. Walmquist, whose amorous clivities are said to have induced the CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE.

London, November 26 (A. captains arriving at London today on ships caked with frozen spray to their funnel tops, described a storm which raged in the North Sea yesterday as the worst in their experience. Reports from the Northern European countries indicate widespread damage.

Three high wireless towers at Norddeich, near Bremen, collapsed. In Denmark the storm, which caused the King to change his route to London for the funeral of Queen Mother Alexandra, disorganized traffic generally and severed communications. Along the North Sea coasts of England and the continent numerous fishing boats and small craft were wrecked, with a score of lives lost. "At one time," said the skipper of a channel boat from Amsterdam, "the wind was so strong it flattened out the waves, until the sea looked like a great expanse of white tablecloth spread around us. In all my years at sea I have never seen anything like this." CLASSIC Goes To Visitors.

Break at Start of Game Stops Bearcat Team, And Miami Eleven Is Victor, 33 To 0. Varsity Half Registers Touchdown Quickly, But Is Called Back When Cincinnati Is Found With Only Six Men on Scrimmage Line. By Bill Powers. The old straw which broke the camel's back was the last one. It was the first one which beat Varsity yesterday afternoon in It3 annual football classic with Miami in the Nippert Stadium by a score of 33 to 0.

With nrore than 13,000 persons looking on, the greatest crowd in the history of football in Cincinnati, Ray Bradford, Varsity back, hurled a perfect pass, eight plays after the game began, into the arms of his running mate, Joa Filger, who streaked 25 yards for a touchdown. The vast assembly almost shook the foundations of the buildings near the stadium with its wild cheering. But the shrieks of Joy were quickly turned to groans when Filger was called back and U. C. penalized for having only six men on the line of scrimmage.

It was a break of the most trying and heart-rending kind and it proved to be the straw which broke Varsity's back. It did not, however, stop them from fighting every inch of the way throughout the remainder of the game, battling with every ounce of strength they possessed and trying with might and main, but it took from them the punch which was needed win such a ball game as the annual battle always turns out to be. BREAK FAVORS MIAMI. It not only tended to dishearten the Varsity players but it gave Miami an undeniable advantage, for where it took pep from Varsity it worked in just the opposite. direction for Miami.

Two plays after the kickoff, which Miami received, Wright, half back on the big Red team, fumbled and Mayer, of Varsity, recovered. Looking every inch like a real football team, Varsity appeared to be a far different organization than the one which was beaten by Ohio Unlversity two weeks ago. It took the ball on Miami's 45-yard line and immediately began a march down the field, which brought the Varsity rooters to their feet. A first down was made. Bradford then made four yards and Maddux came back with five more.

The slashing, rip-roaring attack was proving to be too much for the visitors. Maddux made a first down and then, like a bolt out of a clear sky, Bradford, with a forward pass formation which was meant to be deceptive and which worked perfectly, hurled the ball 13 yards straight into the arms of Filger on the left side of the line, and the latter promptly raced down the side line for the touchdown. The play, however, was called back, for the head linesman counted but six men on the scrimmage, line, and the groans which arose from the stands could have been heard in 14, if not 15, states. BALL GOES TO FOUR-YARD LINE. Despite such a harsh break, McLaren's then were not stopped completely, for they rushed the ball, aided by a fifteen- yard penalty, to Miami's fourteen-yard line, and then carried it to the four-yard line, only to be stopped by nothing less than ill luck.

With the ball on the four-yard line, Shorty Klein was rushed into the contest. After Filger had failed to gain around the left side of the line, when he ran wide, the speedy Klein attempted to carry the oval, but slipped when starting and was thrown for a six-yard loss. A was incompleted, and then another, Klein to Filger over the goal line, was grounded, giving Miami the ball. Stryker quickly kicked out of danger and Varsity never threatened again. The first quarter ended without a score by either team, but shortly after the second period began Miami pushed over its Arst counter, with a series of line bucks and end runs.

Stryker started the ball -rolling toward a touchdown with a twentytwo-yard gain, going through the center of the line. Miami's second touchdown resulted when, after U. C. apparently had been holding its own, Stryker hit his left tackle, and, Anding. himself up CONTINUED ON PAGE 12.

"DISGRACE" TO UNIT! Says Prohibition Agent, Refusing To Work With Associates. the brunt of the Haskell attack and always were good for large gains. But 'all of the glory of the game need not be given to the visitors, for the work of Presto, St. Xavier sophomore halfback, ranked as a subatitute throughout the season, only to hit his stride in the Wesleyan game last Saturday and be given his chance against the Indians' yesterday, shoulders above that of his mates or even of the triumphant Redskins. His brilliant 75-yard dash for a touchdown in the third period, after he had emerged from a tangle following a Haskell fumble and had dashed madly for his goal line, pursued by the fleet Levi, McLain and Ell Smith, was in itself a work of art and was the chief and perhaps the only redeeming feature of the afternoon for the Avondale lads.

His pulse-quickening 35-yard offtackle run through the Haskell left tackle, only to be stopped by the Indian safety man on the Haskell 13-yard mark, was a play befitting the number "77," made famous by the immortal Red Grange. Not satisfied with playing the leading offensive role, he then became the backbone of the Musketeer defense, and was responsible for the effective breaking up of the Indian passing attack. Twice by brilliant bursts of speed he pulled down fastrunning Haskell backs from behind CONTINUED ON PAGE 11. DEATH VICTOR IN END, Although Texan Won Race To Bedside of His Sister. New York.

Aristide Briand, former Premier, tonight mado his, second effort of the week to constitute a Cabinet to succeed the Painleve Ministry, which resigned Sunday. The failure of former Premier Edouard Herriot to form a Cabinet, made known to President Gaston Doumergue this afternoon brought the crisis back to the point where it was at the beginning of the week. The President, before seeking a fourth Cabinet maker, conferred again with the Parliamentary leaders and then appealed to M. Briand to step into' the breach again, and prevent the situation from going from bad to worse. M.

Briand, who was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Painleve Cabinet, found the situation to be quite different than when he tried to make up a ministerial combination in the week. The Socialists in early the meantime had by their maneuvers forced President Doumergue to M. Herriot, and it avas learned on that they had made it impossible for M. Herriot to succeed in forming a government. The experiments remaining to be tried were 8.

A good many Radicals and certain of the more moderate Parliamentarians advised that the Socialists be given 9 chance to show what they would da in It was thought the venpower. ture would last only a few weeks. when the situation would be cleared of Socialist obstruction end 8.

stahle Government could be formed. President Doumergue, decided, however, that the experiment was too dangerous and would he likely to bring further depreciation of the franc, disorganization of the country's finances and further tangling of the political situation. He gave preference to the idea of a concentration Cabinet and called M. Erland again, after consulting with the Radical leaders as to the possibility of rallying the Radicals to a union of par. ties that would eliminate the Socia! ist influence.

Although preferring to take second place--that is, Minister of Foreign Affairs--in a Cabinet combination, M. Briand consented to make anothe: effort. The general tonight is that if he chooses to rely on 8 majority composed of Radicals, Republicans of the Left and other moderato parties ho will be able to forming Government that will last long enough to untangle the and political situations.

ORIENTALS Hidden in Coffins Aboard Dollar Liner, as Freight To America. Plot Revealed When Vessel Is Searched At Honolulu, After Tip Is Received From East. "Higher Ups" Involved Official Declares. Eleven Chinese, Steward and Seamen Held. Steamship Company To Be Fined $1,000 For Each, It Is Names Secret.

Honolulu, T. November 26 upon information celved from special agents in Orient, a party of six immigration ficers, under A. E. Burnett, District Director, searched the Dollar liner President Lincoln as she docked today and found 11 young Chinese hiding in as many coffins which were stowed away in the hold of vessel. The Chinese were found after offeera had searched the liner for houra and were ready to abandon their efforts.

The tip Burnett received said Chinese had been dispatched by smuggling ring 1 in the Orient to Francisco In chargo of a Chinese member of the crew. The frat search of the vessel without success. PHOTOGRAPHS ARE FOUND. "Director Burnett then inspected Chinese steward's compartment, which he found a cigar box containing letters, papers and Chinese supposedly pictures of aboard. Translation of the letters showed that the men whose pictures and papers were inclosed wore consigned certain individuals in San Francisco, and that the sum of $1,100 was to be paid to Tong Nam upon safe delivery ashore of each Chinese.

Tong Nam was arrested, to but refused talk, go Immigration officials ransacked the vessel once more without success. It was not until a lone officer climbed through tons of ship's gear and accidentally of knocked off the top one of the coffins that the plot was revealed. In the coffin a Chinese youth was stretched and out with baggage food' alongside him. The officers then unearthed 11 cotfins and each was live found to contain Chinese with baggage. SUSPECTS ARE HELD.

All were taken in custody, with Tong Nam and several other members of the crew who are suspected of having been accomplices, Director Burnett said the President Lincoln will be fined $1,000 for each "bootleg" Chinese.

Burnett accused "higher ups" aboard the ship. He said that the fact that only 10 sets of papers and pictures were found leads him to suspect that others aboard the vessel had similar data, possibly for the other four of the fifteen men originally mentioned in his information. The papers also gave the names of certain San Franciscans to whom the Chinese were "consigned," Burnett said.

He refused to reveal these names. RESIDENCE IS DYNAMITED. Black's Home in White District at Louisville Is Wrecked. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Louisville, November the second time within four months.
