LIQUOR KILLS FIVE NEW YEARREVELERS 20-Year-Old Girl, Taken From Night Club Drunk, Lying Near Death. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 2—Liquor was blamed by hospital physicians today for | the death of one woman and four men, 5 an aftermath of the New Year cele- bration here. Hospitals treated 79 cases | ©f_alcoholism. The bodies of the woman and one | ©of the men were found by police on Brooklyn streets. An autopsy was or- dered in the case of a man who died in his home to determine whether he had been killed by poison liquor. One other died at home and the fourth man suc- cumbed at Bellevue Hospital. Thirty-five Acute Cases. The number of persons admitted to hospitals suffering from effects of over- indulgence in alcoholic beverages was 28 more than were treated a year ago and 41 more than New Year day, 1928. Six of the 35 cases at Bellevue were prenounced acute. One man was in a state of coma and physicians said his condition was critical. One of the acute cases was a 20-year-old girl taken from & night club. Police officials said the New Year eve crowds were more disorderly, more Gestructive of property and harder to handle than ever before. Hotels, restaurants and night clubs said business had been at capacity vol- ume. In many places the celebration continued until after daylight. Comparatively Few Arrests. No records of arrests for drunkenness were tabulated, but police estimatea the number was light. Only eight cases | of disorderly conduct were on the docket in Tombs Court, where City Magistrate Adolph Stern said the list was the short- : he could remember for New Year $400,000 SUIT ON TRIAL. Claim Filed Over Invention of Talking Picture Machine. LAREDO, Tex., January 2 (#).—A $400,000 damage suit by John L. Dan- nelley et al. against A. F.

It i HODVER RECEPTON BGCEST I YEAR 6,348 Persons Greeted by Eresident and First Lady on New Year Day. President and Mrs. Hoover at their New Year day reception at the White House yesterday received exactly 6,348 persons, which was the greatest crowd for such an event since Presid2nt Roose- velt's reception in 1903, when nearly 10,000 people flled past the receiving line. The figures for yesterday's affair were announced officially at the White House, and at the same time it was| said that while no actual count was made as’to the sex of the callers, it is believed women and girls outnum- bered the men in line. Also there was an unusually large number of children. Many of these were in arms and to all of the young ones the President and the hand pat. In every respect this great annual custom was_a complete success. Of course, the President and Mrs. Hoover felt somewhat the physical strain, but they enjoyed it immensely. They con- tinued to receive all comers, regardless of their station in life or their race or creed, until there was no one else to receive. They had declined to put any time limit on the public reception. Fatigued by Reception. Naturally enough they were quite fatigued afterward and even today feel the effects of the handshaking. Imme- diately after the reception yesterday they went for a motor ride, as a means of relaxation. As might be expected, than usual last night. One of the noticeable features of this reception was the gracious and hearty manner in which the President and his wife greeted their many callers. ‘They had words of some kind for every person and gave a real handshake. They smiled happily through it all. There was no mistaking the joy of those who came to exchange tings. Associates of the President were pleased with the successful manner in which everything went off and with the size of the crowd. This latter was taken by them as a strong indication of the President’s popularity. 1,000 in Morning Section Of the total number passing along the receiving line about 1,000 attended what'is described as the morning sec- tion of the fete; that is, they were either members of the cabinet, diplo- matic corps, high Government officials, members of Congress or ranking officers First Lady had a speclal greeting and | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON.

By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, January 2.—Laugh- | ter, applause and music replaced the | din of traffic and the hustie of busi- | ness in Broad street today when a | fairy-like procession made up of nearly | 10,000 Mummers, bedecked in a myriad | of colors, welcomed the new year. Philadelphia’s annual _show _went down in the records of King Momus as one of the most successful ever held here. Jupiter Pluviis sent a slight drizzle for a few minutes, but old Momus laughed it off and gave thanks. for a mild day. Ridiculous to Sublime, Gem-studded trains of royalty and a galaxy of elaborately clad figures which ran from the ridiculous to the sublime in mimicry made up the fancy section of the parade. There were brilliant capes of a hun- headdress, borne by squads of pages. | Shimmering lines of satin and tinsel depicted the coimet and the rainbow, a | merry-go-round and what not. One cape was a pink, cerise and gold cre- ation of heavy satin arranged in six | sections, with laced ribbons joining | each section. It was covered with em- | broidered American Beauty roses and glittering gold spangles and the canopy headdress was set with semi-precious stones and heavy metal spangles.

By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, January 2.—The city council has approved a contract for enlargement of the Los Angeles Coliseum to more than 100,000 seats in preparation for the 1932 Olympic games, ‘The council tentatively allotted $225,- 000 for replacement of the upper tiers of wooden seats and for construction of new foundations for the proposed ad- ditional seats. The contract for the construction must be approved by the Tenth Olympiad Association, the Sixth District Agricultural Association and the Community Development Assoclation, before construction may begin. Under the contract both the city and the county must expend $450,000 before J-n:nry 1, 1933, on the construction coliseum is the scene of the University of Southern California foot ball games and of other outstanding athletic events, Will Rogers Says: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif, January 1.—Just starting over to the big foot ball game at Pasadena between the Presbyterians of Pittsburgh and the Methodists of Los Angeles.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News, Copyright, 1930.) SANTO DOMINGO, January 2.—At the beginning of the new year, this lit- | tle republic finds itself facing a $20,- 000,000 foreign debt and business con- ditions generally bad, due to the fall in prices of sugar, coffee and cacao, which are the principal products of the = try. A real crisls in national affairs is ted in the presidential election next May, the first held since the Unit- nine-year stay. The future of the coun- try largely depends on the outcome of this election. ‘The opposition parties admit that they have received fair treatment-from the government and are confident that they will win because they have formed a coalition of the majority of opposition [ groups and have selected former Vice ' President Velasquez as candidate for President. Valesquez has brought many | members of the Government party with him after his break with the party. Before leaving for the United States in_ October to undergo treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital, President Horaclo Vasquez, although nearly 75 years old, announced that he would be a candidate for re-election on the Gov- ernment party ticket. He sailed today from New York on his return and his arrival on Monday should silence critics who are maneuvering to select another candidate. Everything is politically quiet, though there have been rumblings of discon- tent and several minor attempts to em- barrass the governmeént during the Chief Executive's absence. These activ- ities were either suppressed by | government or died out. T. G. CONDON SUCCUMBS. Recently Retired After Career in| Mining and Engineering.

Youngworth of Los Angeles, imperial | potentate of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, declared yesterday that unless the forthcoming disarmament conference in London achieved results, the United States | would be faced with the necessity of spending $1,500,000,000 for armaments within the next five years. Speaking to Shriners from Southeast- ern States who came here to dedicate a new mosque, Mr. Youngworth declared that the Shrine in sponsoring a world- peace movement had found “a cause worthy of its best efforts.” “Armaments throughout the world are on the increase,” he said, “and signs are pointing to another conflict. Unless something can be done at the forth- coming disarmament meeting in Lon- don, the United States stands face to face with the necessity of spending $1,500,000,000 on armaments within the next five years. “This amount will have to be matched by other countries, and thus we will nofl;ler race similar to the one it th CA INGORPORATES @Psalcs & Service 614 H 6t.
