NORFOLK, Va., November 10.—The Yote of a dead man deliberately was counted at the court house precinct in Norfolk Tuesday, it became known today. Fred W. Calvert, who was killed in an automobile accident near Charles- ton, W. Va, last Thursday, had pre- viously sent in his ballot by mail to Norfolk. A Republican watcher chal- lenged the ballot on the ground that a “dead man cannot vote” The judges, however, ruled the ballot had been Jegally cast when placed in the mails by Calvert and ordered it counted. Mr. Calvert was formerly the man- ager of a hotel in Norfolk and more re- | cently was assistant manager of a hotel at White Sulphur Springs.

BRITAIN MAY DELAY DEBT PAYMENT T0 115 NEXT NONTH Proposal Expected to Show Difficult Position, Though Ready to Toe Mark. LONDON, November 10 (P)—It was learned this evening that & British note on the subject of debts was delivered today by the British Ambassador to Secretary of State Stimson in Washington No further information was awail- able here, probably because it was not certain whether the American Government was willing to have the contents of the note made pub- lic. By the Associated Press LONDON, November 10—The Daily Mail said today that an important com- munication to the United States Gov- | ernment would probably be sent shortly | whereln Great Britain's willingness o | de pay her war debt installment due De- cember 15 would be restated, but her difficult position would be pointed out. The newspaper's story was one of several which envisaged a possible sus- pension of Britain's debt installment as a result of the American presidential | election. The subject is much talked about in political quarters, but so far officials have refused to comment. Predicts Non-Payment. The Daily Herald gave great pre- ponderance to a statement by its par- liamentary correspondent, who claimed to have been informed “by high official circles” that it was exceedingly improb- able the installment would be paid. for there was strong likelihood of a post- | ponement by mutual consent. The newspaper’s correspondent said that formal negotiations between Great Britain and the United States might be opened with a view to putting the debt on a commercial basis. He stated that it is proposed to scale down the debt international loan in London, Paris and New York to meet the American claim. Recent Parley Cited. References were made in several newspapers to reported recent An American conversations looking toward some arrangement. The Daily Mail cited the conversations which Prime | Minister Ramsay MacDonald and Sir John Simon, foreign minister, held re- | cently with Norman Davis, American disarmament representative, in London. It was suggested in some quarters that the change of administration in the United States need not necessarily interfere with any arrangement which might have been discussed up to now he Daily Herald suggested that Presi- dent Hoover might corduct negotiations consultation with President-elect Roosevelt. The Times said that if Roosevelt failed to discover the causes of the de- pression and apply appropriate reme- dies, he would be condemned as had Hoover. Help for All Seen. “If he succeeds,” the Times went on, “he will not only save his own country from its distress, but will alco help solve the problem which is perplexing civili- zation.” The British government officially voiced the opinion yesterday that the drastic reduction in reparations recently agreed upon in Europe “should now be- come possible.” The official expression came from Stanley Baldwin of the British cabinet, speaking before the lord mayor's ban- quet last night in place of Prime Min- ister Ramsay MacDonald. Mr. Bald-| win said: “It is essential to the world that ratification of the Lausanne settlem:nts on reparations should now become pos- sible, and the work begun there should be completed.” Need U. S. Assistance. “The gentlemen's agreement” at Lau- sanne last Summer provided that the accord cutting Germany’s war repara- tions payment to a bonded $714,000,000 | must depend on a lenient attitude by creditor nations. The United States is the chief creditor nation, Mr. Baldwin said he wished the Lau- sanne reparations success had been ev dent at the Geneva Disarmament Con- ference, and declared the time had come when Great Britain could proceed no longer with unilateral disarmament. The speaker said the Hoover disarma- ment proposals for a nearly one-third cut in arms were in many ways ac- ceptable to Great Britain. He also said the government was standing by all its obligations to the League of Nations. 310 ARE REPORTED DEAD ASHURRICANE SWEEPS EAST CUBA Storm Is Heading for Baha- mas and Bermuda—Wind Velocity 130 Miles.

Child Mutilated. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, November 10 —The tragedy of a fatal riot echoed through this | “City of Peace” tocay after a company of young recruits had turned machine guns on a hissing crowd, killing 11 | men and wounding 70 persons. The |angry mob killed one soldier. The disturbance came last night as | the climax of weeks of bitter political agitation between Socialists and the local Geneva government. It began in front of Community Hall, where an anti-Socialist poli:ical meet- ing was being held. When the hall became 1ull, the gendarmes closed the doors, but the crowd broke through. Sensing trouble, authorities ordered the young troops which previously had been called from Lausanne, to march to the scene As soon as they appeared the crowd began hissing and calling them “chilcren’s troops.” | | Slump to Pavement. Suddenly there came a burst of ma- chine-gun fire. Part of the crowd thought blanks were being discharged, but others slumped to the pavement, jdead and wounded. Among them was a child whose jaw was shot away. One of the young machine gunners was so horrified at the sight of blood- shed that he quit his weapon, and ran away in hysterics. Eight of the crowd were killed ‘in- stantly, most of them riddled with bullets. The others, and the soldier, died today, bringing the death list to 12 this mornire. Two morning newspapers said the tragedy shonld be blamed on two Socialist leaders, Leon Nicole. editor of an afternoon newspaper and member of the Cantonal government, and Jacques Dicker, lawyer and naturalized Russian.

Several hours after quict had been re- stored around Community Hall last night, the area was dotted by groups of working men and students discussing the battle.

ALBANY, N. Y.. November 10.—Hur- riedly glancing through piles of tele- grams congratulating him on his elec- | tion to the presidency, Gov. Roosevelt today took up the tasks of the chief executive of New York and, with his | budget officer, went to work on the im- | mediate problems of State financing.

I'm going to turn in right away and tomorrow we'll get back to being Governor." En route to Hyde Park, where he had supper with his mother, Mr. Roosevelt | was given a noisy welcome by his neigh- bors of Poughkeepsie. Ae the motorcade stopped on the outskirts of Poughkeepsie to form for a parade through rain-swept streets packed with people, the car in which the Governor's aunt, Mrs. James R. Roosevelt, was riding was struck by another machine. She, who, has the same name as the Governor's mother, suffered a hand injury.

By the Associated Press PALO ALTO. Calif., November 10— Desiring to get back to his official duties in Washington, President Hoover today arranged to leave his home here tomor- row night rather than Saturday as orig- inally planned. One of the Chief Executive's secre- taries said today that Mr. Hoover had insisted upon reaching his White House desk not later than next Wednesday morning, and in order to meet this demand train schedules were hurriedly revised this morning to allow for l‘ departure late tomorrow night. The same presidential secretary, com- menting upon reports that the President would call Pranklin D, Roosevelt into an early conference, said definitely the President had made no such decision. His statement, however, did not pre- clude the possibility that Mr. Hoover might later decide to confer upon gov- ernmental affairs with the President- elect. Confers With Requa. Mr. Hoover conferred here today with Mark L. Requa, Republican national committeeman from California, and set aside a two-hour period this afternoon in which to confer with several Cali- fornia political and personal friends. His secretary said the Chief Execu- tive had made no plans for tomorrow, Armistice day, and would probably re- main quietly in his home here, sending a message to be read at the ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery just outside the Capital. The message will be made public in Washington. Just as the President again accus- tomed himself to Palo Alto and Stan- ford University, on the campus of which he lives, so the town became more accustomed to the President. The bunt- banners, saying “Welcome " which had been swung across the streets, were removed late yesterday. The Chief Executive today devoted more time to his family than the duties of his office and his campaign have al- lowed him for many months. His two sons, Herbert, jr., and Allan, along with the wife of the former and their three children, Peggy Ann, Peter and Joan, remained at the Hoover home. Plan Motor Trips. With Mrs. Hoover, the President has planned several automobile rides that would carry them over routes they both knew together during the years of their residence here, where both attended the university. Both the President and First Lady enjoy the comfort and quiet of their home here, and Mr. Hoover told news- paper men that after his return to pri- vate life next March 4 he intended coming “back tc Califgrnia to live.” He intimated that he would engage in busi- | ness enterprises, but said his plans had not yet been definitely formed.

Their victory swelling with every additional return on Tuesday's tremendous vote, America’s new Democratic leaders faced today four months of arduous preparation for the responsibility of piloting the Government. A free hand in directing the country was given President-elect Roosevelt by election of a House three-to-one Democratic, and a Senate controlled by his party, 59 to 36. This smashing victory only emphasized the significance of his never-before attained electoral vote of 472 to 59 for President Hoover. The popular vote kept mounting toward record figures with 19,600,000 recorded for the winner out of more than 33,000,000 counted in approximately three-fourths of the country’s voting districts. Busy Planning Machinery. Under this amazing grant of power, Mr. Roosevelt expressed his | appreciation by saying, “This clear mandate shall not be forgotten.” He termed it “a national expression of liberal thought.” Already he has informed the Congressional leaders of his party that the time from now until March 4 will be devoted to creating the machinery required for the Democratic program. He is to choose also a cabinet, a major task ir which his associates say he may break one more precedent by aunouncing its make-up considerably before inauguration. He proposes to continue intensive consultation with experts on | industry, agriculture and finance, formulating definite projects to bring into play the principles he expounded during the campaign.

By the Associated Press. . OAXACA CITY, Mexico, November 10—The exploration of an ancient ban today was apparently helping solve a Zapctec legend of miracle armies that appeared or disappeared at will. The legend Is that more than 500 years ago, during the Mixtec-Zapotec wars for control of this section of Mex- ico, there were many battles around Monte Alban, the center of Zapotecan culture. The tale relates that the Zapctec armies, when hard pressed, often dis- appeared as if by magic and reap- peared at the enemy's rear, or Wherever convenient to surprise him.

If so, the mystery of their original use would be solved and it would be clear that they were used to transport Zapo- | tec troops in secret, so they could ap- pear where needed. The third tunnel, it was found yes- terday, was later used as a burial tomb for warriors of some race, probably the Mixtecs who finally won Monte Alban. | Yesterday a skeleton was found, and with it small quantities of gold. red and | white onyx beads and an ornate fu- lnenl urn.

Despite the disorders in the street the anti-Socialist meeting was able to carry out its program inside the hall and adopted a resolution denouncing Nicole and Dicker as “in the service of a foreign power.” Even Nicole's arrest was criticized. Censure came from several quarters, blaming the authorities for failure to arrest the agitators before the trouble, instead of afterward. Federal and local authorities were severely criticized for bringing in troops, especially the inex- perienced recruits, who never before had been called upon in such a dangerous situation. e COLD INVADES FLORIDA Mercury at Jacksonville Drops to \ 39, New Season Low.
