PRESIDENT GONE OUSTED BY SENATE ON COBRCION COUNT Dr.’ Fedeico Laedo Bru Is New Chief Executive of Island Republic Havana, Dec. 24.—(7)—Cuban of- ficialdom asserted Thursday to wel- come a new president—Dr. Frederico Laredo Bruw—atlter the army-control- led senate ousted Miguel Mariano Go- mez for his opposition to the $1,500,000 ugar tax bill, a Gomez, the island republic’s ninth president in four years, was forced from his position by the senate's de- cision early Thursday that he was guilty of “interfering with the free functioning of legislative power” in fighting the tax measure. Politically, the winner of the con- gressional controversy over the pro- posal to extend army training to rural schools was Col. Fulgencio Batista, Cuba's military “strong man.” Bru was to be inducted into the chief executives office in official ceremon- ies set for noon. Vote Is 22 to 12 Gomez was ejected by a 22 to 12 vote of the Cuban senate, sitting as a jury to hear the impeachment charges, after long debate. Bru, as vice presi- dent, succeeded automatically when the guilty verdict was brought in against Gomez. Immediately after the dismissal, which Gomez expected,and prepared for, the retiring president issued a bristling statement denouncing army leaders and charging they sought to arrogate civil authority to themselves. His accusations reflected the issue on which his defense staked vindica- tion: That a verdict against the execu- tive would throw Cuba into a military dictatorship. Opposed Sugar Tax He was impeached in the house of Tepresentatives and brought to trial before the senate after he had op- posed a 9-cents-a-bag sugar tax bill to finance an army-sponsored pro- gram of rural education. The senate’s decision to remove the president was contained in its vote convicting him, because of his stand on the sugar tax bill, of “interfering with the free functioning of the legis- lative power.” Before vetoing the sugar tax bill, the expelled president, contended, he tolerated army demands that were hot prejudicial to the people. All members of the Gomez cabinet, in accordance with custom, immedi- ately tendered their resignations. Choice of Jail Term, Fine Given Peterson Fred Peterson, formerly manager of the Ace cafe here ahd now a resi- dent of Bemidji, Minn. has his choice of paying a.$100 fine and $34 in costs or of spending 60 days in the county jail here. Pleading guilty to a charge of the illegal possession of game before Dis- trict Judge Fred Jansonius Thurs- day morning he was given his choice of the two penalties. The plea was entered through Scott Cameron, Peterson's attorney. Peterson was atrested in October, 1935, and arraigned by State's At- terney George 8. Register at the 1936 February term of the district court. At the defendant’s request, and with the consent of the state game and fish commission, the case was continued over the February term.

Warn Beer Sellers To Obey Health Law Notice that failure to properly wash and sterilize glasses used in dispens- ing beer will result in prosecution was sent out Thursday by the state regi latory department to owners of beer bars in North Dakota. In many cases, it was asserted, op- erators of such places are taking little or no precautions to keep their glass- ware in a sanitary condition. The standard procedure outlined by the department includes rinsing of the glasses in a hypochlorite solution. The average bacteria per glass ranged from 11 in the best establish- ment to 14,530 in the worst. The best glass showed a count of one, the worst ® count of 51,704. The department said an average of 25 to 50 would be passable, Most of the bacteria found were yeasts and molds from the beer but included also were stphlycoccus albeus and aureus, streptococci and bacillus diphtheria, these apparently coming from use of the glass by persons ha’ ing sore mouths, tonsilitis or septic sore throat Truck Driver Killed in Crossing Accident Albion, Mich.

Hopkins.

Hopkins, an authoritative source said, has talked of resigning if a sum less than he considers adequate is provided. Concerning that, the administrator commented after his White House call: “Anything the president wants is all right with me. We have'no dif- ferences of opinion about this.” ‘The source of the resignation re- port said one group was lining up be- hind Hopkins, while another is coun- selling cuts in relief spending to pave the way for a balanced budget.

Worrled by growing reports that additional provinces had rallied to the standard of Marshal Chang, Col. Joseph W. Stilwell, U. 8, mili- tary attache at Peiping, left for the interior. 4 He hoped to penetrate as far west as Siantu, capital of Shensi, where the rebellious marshal held Gen- eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, premier of China. With the premier were his wife, the American-educated Mel-Ling Soong, and her brother, Dr. T. V. Soong, endeavoring to treat person- ally for their relative's release. Colonel Stilwell planned to go first to Loyang, Honan province, to arrange for rescue of the Ameri- cans through the punitive expedition sent to Chiang’s aid. Most concern was felt for Ameri- cans farther to the interior in Kansu and northern Shensi province where the rebellion to force war on Japan was reported to have spread through Communist uprisings. An additional plot to swing North China to the rebellion was reported to have been halted when Chang Shueh-Cheng, brother of the mutin- ous leader, was arrested at Tientsin and charged with inciting revolt in sympathy with Marshal Chang's coup at Sianfu Dec. 12.

Lemke said he will introduce an- other measure to create a central bank to call in federal reserve notes and issue United States notes in their place, charging the federal reserve banks one cent interest on the latter. “The present financial system,” Lemke said, “is so rotten it can't last and won't last. That's where you get your depressions.” Although not predicting passage of the Frazier-Lemke bill at the next congress, Lemke insisted “ultimately it will become law.” He said that proportionately more farmers who still own their farms are losing them jthan “at any other time.” At one point the North Dakotan exposed gold inlays in his teeth. “If the gold (in the tréasury) were used to fill teeth with, it might do some good,” he said, PLAINING MILL BURNS Menahga, Minn., Dec. 24.—(#)—The plaining mill of the Lampert Lumber company here was destroyed by fire | Thursday.
