i r&' ey 'NINE MEN SEIZED - INTRIPLE MURDER Liquor Racketeers Pay Pen- alty for Rebellion Against Gang Rules. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, September 17.—Nine men Were held for questioning today as po- lice sought four underworld execution- ers whose bpistols yesterday ended the Tebellion of three liquor racketeers against gangdom’s regulations. One of the men held is Sol Levine, who started out to drive the three vic- tims from their handbook agency to an “amicable conierence” for settlement of underworld differences over liquor sell- ing rights—a conference which ended in a typical gangland assassination. Levine told his inquisitors numerous conflicting storles during hours of questioning lasi night. The one police were inclined to believe was that at the busy intersection of Grand Boule- vard and Third street three or four men boarded the car, flashed guns, told him to get out and drove away. ‘The scene next shifted to the apart- ‘ment house at 1740 Collingwood avenue, in the heart of a quiet residential dis- trict, where 15 pistol shots were heard and four men raced down a rear stair- way to an automobile waiting in the alley. Hid Guns in Can of Paint. They left behind them the bullet- ridden bodies of Joseph Lebold, alias Lebovitz, 31; Isaac Sutker, alias Sut- ton, 28; and Herman Paul, 31, all al- lied with the once notorious Purple gang, who, police say, conducted a flourishing = wholesale liquor business without regard for district boundaries established by powerful underworld in- terests. It was this defiance of gang- land’s regulations that brought death to_them, police believe. The killers introduced a new depar- ture in mass murder by secreting their pistols in a can of paint, left sitting casually under the sink in the apart- ment. It was hours later when the weapons were found, tell-tale finger- prints obliterated by the paint. Witnesses who saw the killers in flight described them as between 25 and 30 years of age, well dressed and of swarthy ‘complexions. An older man was walt- ing at the wheel of the car, which roar- ed away down .the alley, they sald. Apartment Rented September 1. The apartment, at the rear of the ‘building, and on the second floor, was rented September 1 by a “James Regis.’ Tt had not been occupied. Althcugh the caretaker, Prank Holt, tentatively iden- tified one of the dead men as “Regis” clined to the belief the a rented for the purpose ci the slayings and that “Regis” was one of the killers.

The doctor [ gave his hearty approval. “Go ahead and use Nujol,” he said. “It’s just the thing for the baby. Harmless. Safe. Contains ho drugs or medicine. It's the most natural way in the world to keep everything normal. For Nujol not only prevents any ex- cess of the body poisons (we all have them) from forming, but also aids in | their removal. | “Let me give you another sugges- ‘} tion, too. Use Nujol on the outside of | the baby. In place of powder. Just swab his skin, after the bath, witha bit of cotton moistened with Nujol. That’s the new method they’re using in the big hospitals. It has a wonderfully soothing, softening ef- fect on the skin. There's no need for | any baby to have rashes and chafing | if you use Nujol. Get a big bottle | and keep it specially for the baby. Get a separate bottle for yourself.” Why don’t you try Nujol in your | household? It was perfected by the | famous Nujol Laboratories, 2 Park | Avenue, New York City. Nujol can’t do anyone—baby or grown-up—the least bit of harm. And so many people have found it beneficial. Be sure you get the genuine, —Advertisement.

By the Assoclated Press. « MEXICO CITY, Séptember 17—Up- ward of 100 lives were lost in hurri- canes that ravaged the lower Califor- nia peninsula over the week end and descended on the Vera Cruz gulf coast yesterday, it was estimated from dis- patches today. I A report to the National Telegraph said more than 50 persons were killed at Santa Rosalia, Lower California, and dispatches from La Paz, capital of the southern district of the peninsula, said eight were lost when small vessels in the gulf were wrecked by the tem- pest, in addition to a number of ships still missing. Ships Not Heard From. From Progreso, Yucatan, and Vera Cruz City came reports that numerous coastwise ships and fishing smacks had not been heard from and likely had foundered or went aground in the Vera Cruz gale. Vera Cruz harbor was de- scribed as clogged with the wreckage of small ships. Vessels averaging be- tween 40 and 50 tons in size were lost in the harbor, although their crews managed to escape. Communication with the Boca Del Rio and Alvarado was disrupted and it was feared heavy damage was caused in those towns, where the center of the hurricane is believed to have struck. $100,000 Loss in Vera Cruz. It was estimated more than $100.000 would be necessary to repair the dam- age in Vera Cruz City. Several houses were unroofed, trees were uprooted and docks and warehouses were demolished. The damage to shipping in the port was included in this figure. ‘Troops were searching the ruins in Santa Rosalia and maintaining order in the face of a shortage of food and water. Rail connections with El Boleo mine were disrupted and it was under- stood the mine had been flooded. Losses there were sald to .be about $500,000. The American freighter Perkins was caught in the tempest and an officer and a seaman were washed overboard. ‘The shlx returned to port considerably damage: PLANE TOLL REACHES FOUR.

By the Associated P: MEXICO CITY, September 17— Hope that the United States would en- ter the League of Nations and align itself with Mexico and other countries in efforts for ‘“betterment of the world” was expressed today by Presi- dent Pascual Ortiz Rubio. In a signed article in E1 Nacional, organ of the official National Revolu- tionary party, the President said the co-operation of the United States is necessary to obtain a “universal eco- nomic equilibrium.” = Discussing Mexico’s reasons for join- ing the League, he ignored mention of the Monroe Doctrine and said Mexico had not joined to squabble over domi- nations, bring up unimportant quarrels, foment divisions or make an exhibit of itself. “We are going to Geneva to place our efforts, great or small, but alway. | serious, at the service of a bettermen of the world,” he sald. “If Mexico has lbem isolated from an organization thy* can do so much good, providing trs | ernments so determine, it has bees for_reasons not of her choosing. | “Now that we are in it our desires are to sec there also, aiding in the | same noble task, the countries that {still are outside—the United States, | without whose co-operation it is diffi- |cult to imagine a universal economic equilibrium; Argentina, which is a fac- tor of first order in South American | relations; Brazil, which, due to its im- | portance and magnitude, still holds a | world of possibilities, and each and all of the countries which, by their own peculiar conditions, can take a very ap- preciable part in this collaboration.” ORTIZ RUBIO FREES 300 MEXICO CITY.
