THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1930 SPANISH GENERAL'S BODY 1S SHROUDED BY SPL CASKET Weyler Is Laid to Rest Quietly Following Death in Ma- drid Monday Madrid, Oct. 21.—(@)—In a simple wooden casket, borne by a_ hired resignation, which was immediately accepted by the King. A‘romantic anecdote is told of General Weyler’s marriage to Teresa Santacana, a peasant girl. “I have married this maiden be- cause I love her and she love me,” said Weyler, then a colonel, to a gathering of officers. “She has had education and therefore is not to associate at present with your mothers, wives and sisters or to figure in society as the wife of your colonel. So I have arranged that she shall remain two years un- der the care of worthy nuns, who will teach her all she ought to’ know, and eventually turn her out a credit to our flag. During the interval I shall not disturb her studies by my visits, though she is mine and I am no hearse, the body of Captain-General Valeriano Weyler, whose Cuban ad- ministration 30 odd years ago was one of the causes of the Spanish- American war, was taken today to its grave in San Lorenzo cemetery, through a heavy downpour. ‘There was‘only one carriage, containing relatives, in the funeral procession. The burial ceremony, at the Wey- Jer home, had been performed two hours earlier than scheduled to escape the gaze of crowds. ‘The bishop of Teneriffe said mass in a chapel improvised in General Weyler’s former workroom, where the body had been placed in a plain wooden coffin. Among the many notables passing the coffin was General Alberto Bor- bon, who is Duke of Santa Elena and a cousin of the king. He leaned rev- erently over the casket, kissed Wey- ler upon the forehead and tiptoed away in tears. . Weyler was buried with all the simplicity he desired. It was two p. m. when the hearse, of simplest style, appeared before the\ door of the Weyler home. In a few minutes the coffin was placed on it. ‘Another car took its position be- hind the hearse. The family mem- bers stepped into it, and both vehicles drove away. Soon another car with a few friends left for the cemetery. Few Note Procession So secretly was this program car- ried out that the little cortege passed through the drizzly streets with only a few persons aware of what was happening. General ‘Weyler, succumbed to ill- ness growing out of a fall off his horse on his 92nd birthday month. 5 General Weyler was regarded by the Spanish Government as its most loyal and efficient soldier, although among Americans he is remembe! as the man whose rule in Cuba was merciless. Faith in him in 5 a however, was such that even in his seventy-seventh year, in Janu- ary, 1916, he was appointed Presi- dent of a Central General Staff created by royal decree to reorganize the entire army svstem in Spain. ‘When General Weyler was sent to Cuba in February, 1896, he had had years of experience with rebellions in nearly all of the Spanish colonial possessions. Born on the Island o! Majorca in 1838, he was @ student in an infantry school at Toledo at the age of 15, and was brought up on the traditions of warfare prac- tised by Cortez and Pizarro, Dur- ing the Civil War in America he was military attache of the Spanish Le- gation at Washington and followed General Sheridan in several cam- paigns. After that he rose rapidly im the ranks of the Spanish army. From 1868 to 1872 he served bril- iiantly against the Cuban rebels, and returned to Spain as brigadier-gen- eral. He figured later in loyal sup- port of the ruling house of Spain in the Carlist uprising. He {was re- warded with the post of captain- general of the Canary Islands in 1888 he was sent to the Philip- pines to put down a native uprising. He was captain-general at Catalonia, making himself the terror of the anarchists and socialists there when he was sent to Cuba to succeed Mar- shal Campos, whose dealings with the insurgents were regarded at home as too conciliatory. Weyler immediately, inaugurated a policy of inexorable repression. He was au- thor of the famous concentration edict requiring all the inhabitants of the insurgent provinces to concen- trate within prescribed distances of the military camps. This forced hundreds of thousands of persons out of their regular employment and massed them in such numbers that they could not be properly fed or sheltered. General Fitzhugh Lee, Consul General of the United States at Havana, is authority for the esti- mate that probably 200,000 of the rural population of Cuba died of starvation or from resultant causes during this period of concentration. Storm of Protest Weyler’s policy raised a storm of indignation throughout the United States and led finally to a demand for his recall. Under pressure, this was granted by Spain, and Weyler left Cuba in October. 1897, after less than two years of his merciless rule. In Spain his reputation as a strong|+, and ambitious loyal soldier seemed to have suffered no setback, and to the time of his death he played a prominent role in army affairs. Those who remember him at the palace in Havana, say that he was not an imposing officer in uniform with a brilliant staff about him but a lean, nervous, little man in civilian dress, almost shabby, with a quick eye and abrupt manner. His orders and proclamations were precise and unimaginative, indicating the sever- ity, if not the cruelty with which he was prepared to enforce them. When he returned to Madrid he defended his severe course in Cuba and declared that if he had been given six months’ more time he would have stopped the rebellion. “I have been accused of cruelty,” he said, “but I am neither cruel nor in- human, True, I had many people shot, but I previously asked for their submission. All who submitted were pardoned, but I was inflexible with traitors. My policy was inspired by love of Spain.” While serving as Captain-General of Catalonia in 1920, General Wey- ler was made Chief of Staff of the Spanish Army and elevated to the nobility, taking the hereditary title of Duke of Rubi. During 1921, Spain undertook an intensive military campaign against the restive~-tribesmen of Spanish Moroceo, who had become too well organized and too powerful for the regular Spanish garrison. Although more than 80 years of age, General Weyler took an active part in an advisory capacity in connection with the Spanish operations and advocat- ed a policy very similar to the one oe had employed in Cuba years be- ‘ore. Resignation Accepted The cabinet, however, favored civil measures rather than repres- sive military goyernment, which eaused constant ction between General Weyler and the government. This came td a head early in 1922, and the Chief of Staff submitted his last |Noted Gangster Is Arrested at hers. Have I not done right?” The responding cheers of the of- ficers proclaimed their approval, General Weyler figured promin- ently in a plot against the govern ment of Primo de Rivera in June, 1926, but was acquitted by a military court in April, 1927. When the plot wasjdiscovered a large number of arrests .were made and General Weyler who was: then at Palma, Island of Majorca, was held under surveillance. Police were reported to have found among his Possessions copies of a manifesto to the country, calling fcr the undoing of Primo de Rivera. The aged soldier was said to have been one of the signers. Previous to the military trials Primo de Rivera fined a number of the alleged plotters, the amount as- sessed against General Weyler being reported 100,000 pesetas. After that incident General Wey- ler lived quietly at his apartment on the northern edge of Madrid. the remaining captain general of the Spanish Army he was regard- ed as still in service, although havin, ng active connection with Spain’s military forces for several years past. He continued after passing his 90th birthday anniversary to take a daily horseback ride. ‘BUGS MORAN HELD BY ILLINOIS POLICE Resort Near Waukegan; "Will Face Charges ‘Waukegan, Ill., Oct. 21—()—George (Bugs) Moran, former North side gangland ruler and rival of Al Ca- Pone was arrested early today at Cas- fee roadhouse, 15 miles west of re, Moran, alone when a constable and five private detectives surprised him, offered no resistance. Immediately after his apprehension, Moran was hustled to Waukegan where he was held in $50,000 bonds on @ vagrancy charge. Col. A. V. Smith, State’s attorney for Lake county, said a charge of carrying concealed weapons also would also be lodged against Moran, who disputed with Capone forces control of Chicago’s gangland enter- prises until his mob was weakened by the St. Valentine’s day massacre and later by numerous defections to his opponent. As he waited. for a hearing on vagrancy charges filed by the Lake county state’s attorney, Moran told newspaper men.he had recently been in Chicago where he has been sought for weeks. é “Why, I was in the city hall at Chi- cago only last week,” he said. “I talked with several acquaintances there. If the Chicago police were ASK NEW YORKER TO DIRECT WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED! 1 | Man Who Directed Movement) Under Harding in 1921 Called on by Hoover Washington, Oct. 21—(?)—Arthur Woods, former police commissioner of New York, who was in charge of un- employment work on President Hard- ing’s commission in 1921, today was asked by President Hoover to assume charge of the orgenization which is being created to relieve suffering dur- ing the winter. The administration was said def- initely today to be prepared to ask congress to remove restrictions upon federal public work already provided for over a period of years and to per- mit this work to go forwami at once. Yhile President Hoover believes the country will be able to take care of the situation during the winter, he expects Mr. Woods to develop an ex- tensive organization to create em- ployment, in cooperation with the cabinet committee which the presi- dent today called into session. Governor Meyer of the federal reserve board were called by President Hoover to meet with him in the cabinet room at the white house to evolve means for strengthening and intensifying the government's aid to those out of work. Seek More Cooperation From this session, and others to follow, the president expects to de- velop methods of additional coopera- tion between local governmenis and industry for creating new employ- ment. Indications were the president was prepared to ask large appropriations from congress, possibly in a special message soon after it convenes, with a probability that sanction would be sought for beginning work immediate- ly upon much of the construction al- ready authorized for the next 10 years. Although the chief executive be- lieves the organization set up by him 10 months ago has contributed great- ly to reduce unemployment, a search- ing inquiry has been conducted dur- ing the past few weeks both. by him- self and his aides to determire the status of employment at this time. ‘The census of unemployed in April showed approximately 2,500,000 able bodied job seekers and since tie ad- vent of fall, the upward or down; ward trend of employment and its extent has again been broughi ‘nto question. 1 Held Many Conferences President Hover has held numerous conferences with business and fi- nancial leaders. Several of those as- sociated with Mr. Hoover in the con- duct of the Harding unempio;ment conference in 1921 have been aiding Secretary Lamont in assembling material for consideration by the committee of seven. Prof. John M. Gries, who at that time made studies for the stimulus of building construction, has made a similar survey recently, and E. E. unt, secretary of the Harding con. ince, has been cooperating with Mr.’ Lamont as an economist. The commerce secretary Goes not believe, however, it will be necessary to create @ commission similar to that named by President Harding. Mr. Hoover already has outlined to the committee three directions which looking. for me they weren’t strain- ing their eyes, I guess. “I can’t see how they can get any- where on a vagrancy charge against me. I am vice president of the Cen- tral Cleaners and Dyers in Chicago and active in the business. The vagrancy doesn’t scare me. I am not in any rackets.” Moran said he had been out of the liquor business and other rackets for four years and added, “I have been going straight and I intend to go Straight.” Lake county authorities said this morning they would not attempt to keep the gang leader here but would turn him over to officers from Cook county. Later Chicago police officers ar- rived and Moran was released on $10,000 bail. ' County Judge Perry L. Persons sct the hearing on a concealed weapons charge for “some time next week,” and placed the bond at $5,000. Justice of the Peace Harold Tallett then cofttinued a hearing on vag- rancy charges to next Monday. The gangster was immediately served with @ vagrancy warrant signed by Judge John Lyle of Cook county and he was started on his way Chicago. Moran had been sought ever since Lingle was fatally shot June 9. Po- lice had always held the theory that the slaying was plotted by the Moran gang, since Lingle was known to be @ friend of “Scarface Al” Capone, the rival leader. Among the other crimes police said they wanted to ask him about were the Jack Zuta slaying and the torch killing of an unidentified gir) in a cottage not far from where Moran was arrested. The killing of Zuta, a Moran ally, was considered a possible sequel to the Lingle plot. The only clew in the torch slaying was a bunch of keys traced to a Moran gangster. — Do this at the first sign of a cold.

The government's estimate of un- employment has been fixed at ap- proximately 3,500,000, but Mr. Hoover does not believe this figure represents the actual burden upon the country. 1,000,000 Is Normal The United States, it was contended, has a normal unemployed total of ap- proximately 1,000,000, consisting most- ly of those who are not seeking work or else are shifting from one job to another and are not without some in- come. The census also shows an aver- age of one and three-quarters bread-' winners per family, so that the total families without any source of income is placed by the government below the actual unemployed total. The government has expended vir- tually all of its appropriations for public works, amounting to approxi- mately $55,000,000, and is planning to ask congress to permit greatly in- creased expenditures so as to give in- creased employment. Mr. Woods, who also organized after the war a committee for placing vet- erans in jobs, is expected to come to the, capital immediately to undertake development of the relief program. He is to work with the committee of six cabinet members and Governor Meyer of the federal reserve board.
