About 20 were killed in the fighting and 1aore than 100 were wounded. President Irigoyen signed his resignation, and Gen. Uriburu formed a new cabinet, a civil body, composed principally of members of the old opposition. Uriburu was named head of the new provisional government, which an- nounced as its purpose improvement. of economic conditions in the country and & more representative government than that of the administration just past. Twenty-one Persons Killed. A complete check shows that 21 per- sons, among them one cad:t, were killed in the disorders in the Congresu Saturday afternoon. There were 188 civilians, 22 cadets and 1 soldier ‘wounded. In Buenos Aires three men captured while looting during the political ex- citement were taken out and shot. The new government believes that many persons it wished to arrest have uum into Uruguas. Some of those ‘wan! are believed to have taken refuge in foreign legations. The new minister of foreign affairs, Bosch, has sent cablegrams to all the Argentine legations and embassies com- municating to them the principles on which the new junta is governing and assuring them that peace reigns in the eountry. The story of the former President's adventures Saturday is dramatic. He had kept inside during most of the dis- turbed week that brought about the outbreak and after the cabinet ran up the white flag to the oncoming revolu- tionaries last night no one knew where en was. Some reports said he had to a cruiser for refuge.

He asked iminediately for a bed and after versing for a few minutes with the ofi:’fl present wrote a brief resig- nation and handed it to the com mander of the 7th Infantry, Lieut. Col. Yrusf ta. No less dramatic was the resignation of the former Vice President, Dr. En- rique V.

PANAMA, September 8 (#).—The political atmosphere here was cleared somewhat in the forenoon today by an- nouncement of the resignation of three members™of the cabinet, Interior Sec- retary Robles, Finance Secretary Duque and the foreign affairs minister, Arose- mena. The resignations are declared to be a protest against Jeptha B. Duncan, sec retary of public instruction. Observers say the attitude of these cabinet members reflects the view of the Nationalist Assembly, which has to the President against Dun- can appearing in the Chamber to pre: sent his report. Duncan enjoys th confidence of the President, however, and has paid no attention to demands that he resign.

Here, however, they are looked upon as he- roes. In Buenos Aires students were plainly looking for trouble. They shouted most insulting phrases against Irigoyen and the government. Student orators de- livered wild harangues, inciting revolu- tion, which elsewhere would have put them behind the bars for treason. Here thelr utterances were published at length in the most conservative dailies, including La Prensa and La Nacion, which devoted long editorials to praise of student -activities and speeches. Al La Paz a student federation sent a note to the military junta, demanding that students be given two seats on the political committee which was to select the coalition candidate for the presi- dengial elections. While Daniel Salamanca, now presi dential candidate in Bolivia, was being given an ovation upon his arrival in La Paz a student orator butted into the !mnrnm from a hotel balcony, adjoin ing the one on which Salamanca was acknowledging the Rllufll“ of street crowds, and warned him that the revo- lution was not terminated and t it would not be terminated until the ideals for which sudent blood had been spilled were realized.

Knowing that the man |had a gun, Capt. Campbell believes Bierce drove part of the way to the city and asked a motorist to follow him back to where he had seen the bandit. Meanwhile the colored man had moved over beyond “the city line when Pierce came upon him. The story as reconstructed by Capt. Campbell then would indicate that the bandit fired as Pierce stepped from his car to arrest him, and that the bullet shattered the windshield of the officer'’s car. Both then fired at close range until their, guns were empty, sinking to the ground in a final death graoole. E. B.

By the Assotiated Press, MATANZAS, Cuba, September 8.— Prof. Georges Claude, French scientist, expected today to proceed at once with development of his scheme to procucc inexpensive power from the Gulf Stream. Elated at success finally of launching his 5,000-foot, 6-foot-diameter tube to draw cold water from the depths be- low the Gulf Stream, he expected lit- tle further difficulty to attach to his million-dollar experiment in practical physics. ‘The tube, probably the most expen~ sive part of the power. project, was slipped into the water off this port Sunday, after two previous attempts had falled because, Prof. Claude charged, of sabotage by interests op- posed to his idea. A dozen tugboats, a government de- stroyer, two companies of troops and squads of provincial police assisted in the gigantic task. The tugs lined' the apparatus to keep it from curving and breaking in the Gulf Stream until the two cables keeping it on the surface were cut and it slipped to the bottom of the ocean. It is Prof. Claude’s scheme to draw cold water from the bottom to the sur- face of the Gulf SBtream, vaporize it by submitting it to vacuum, using the re- sulting steam to operate a turbine and in turn condensing the steam again to maintain the vacuum. He has the backing of the French Academy of Science and the Cuban government in the venture. \ROVER TO PROSECUTE Justice Authorizes Fight in Case of Representative Map.rtment Accused of Liquor Possession. © ‘The Department of Justice has su- thorized United States Attorney Leo A.

Their car col- lided with an auto containing Stephen Kania and Joseph Podruchny, both of Sparrows Point, Md., a few feet south of the “Death Tra) culvert on the River road, just within the jurisdiction of Alexandria. Both autos were wrecked and Kania and Podruchky were cut and shaken up. Both were treated at the Alexandria hospital and then taken to police headquarters at Alexandria to be held as material witnesses in con- nection with the case. Men Refuse to Return. Alexandria Police then sought to have Garrison, McKeever and Shea return here and went to Washington to bring them back, but they refused to return. The warr#nt charging murder was then sworn out and iodged at police head- quarters here and McKeever and Shea were locked up at the third precinct station. Garrison, suffering from a con- cussion of the brain, was removed from Emergency to Gallinger Hospital and a police guard established there. Capt. W. W. Campbell of the Alex- andria police force emphatically denled today that he had afidavits from two witnesses charging that Kelliher was thrown from the car. Corener T.

Copeland of New York, eminent health authority and physician, in a letter made public today, declared that in his opinion the Dapart- ment of Agriculture had “come out with fiying colors” from the recenf investi- gation of the Senate Agriculture Com- mittee into the administration of the food and drug act, The Senator’s letter was addressed to W. G. Campbell, director of regula- tory work for the department., and was in answer to public criticisms growing out of the investigation in which Cope- land had taken part as a member of the committee. = Department Commended. “So far as the Department of Agri- culture can make it true” Senator Copeland wrote, “the anesthetic ether, the digitalis, the ergot, the Jamaica ginger and other drugs dealt with in this investigation and on sale in the United States are above suspicion. I found this statement not alone upon my own knowledge and conviction, but upon the testimony presented in the investi- gation.” Senator Copeland declared that like- wise the manufacturing chemists are “entitled to a clean bill of health in this attack upon their integrity and profes- sional skill.” 3 “You and your ‘associates brought out what you have long known and tried to correct, to wit, that you have not money enough and force enough to do all the things which should be done if the public is to have full protection against adulteration, substitution and fraud,” he told Mr, Campbell. Sees Need of Increase in Funds. “It is perfectly clear to me that the appropriations for your division must be increased. You must have a large force to accomplish everything you desire and everything which you are capable ‘of accomplishing if you have this force.” Senator Copeland gave assurance that Congress, knowing all the facts, would not hesitate to provide ample funds. The evidence presented to the com- mittee, he pointed out, showed that the regulatory division of the department has been “trentendously alert” in in- quiring into questionable commercial practices and following up the source of every suspicion of wrong doing.

British Effort Recommended. ‘The reporter’s nndin&. after discuss- ing the complexity of the Palestine sit- uation, recommended to the council “to rquen the Bl‘lthh‘ t..ofl::nnmmm‘ to adopt such measures as necessary to give effect to the recommendations and conclusions therein and to take the action suggested by the on the annual report for 1929.” Arthur Henderson, in’ behalf of the mandatory power, expressed his thanks for the conciliatory nature of M. Hjal- mar 's report, and insisted that Great Britain recognizes the right of the Mandates Commission to pass judg- ment on the acts of the administrator. In effect, the British foreign secre- tary declared that while his recent re- joinder to the commission's criticisms was somewhat direct in phraseology his vernment understood the commis- sion’s attitude and would be glad to continue its efforts to establish condi- tions in Palestine on which the peace and Wr]e)edflty of all peoples there would secured. ‘Will Discuss Federation.
