nosing out a victory in the second ' game, 5 to 4. Boston now has a i 7 to 5 advantage over St. Lottis' for the season. Fine pitching by Fred Frankhouse and Sylvester Johnson tea-' tured the first game, neither allowing a run during the first 10 innings. Both weakened in the eleventh. and Boston Iratted in three runs, after which the Cardinals opened a two run rally which caused Fralkhouse’s retirement before a batsman had been retired. Ed Brandt, Braves ace, steppI ed ibto the breach and saved the I I game. Paul Derringer, Cards rookie. | i had slightly the better of a pitch-; I ing duel with Bruce Cunningham' :in the second game and lasted out the game despite a two run [ rally by Boston in the eighth. Chicago fans also were treated! to a pitching duel, with Pat Ma- I lone winning over Clise Dudley of the Philadelphia Phillies, 2 to 1. J Matone and Dudley battled on even terms until the ninth when Charley , Grimm’s triple and a walk to Hart- | nett sent Dudley to the showers ; and brought Jumbo Elliott into the game as rescue pitcher. Elliott 'pitched only two balls, a foul strike nnd a wild pitch which let in the winning run and enabled the Cubs' to advance to sqcond place in the I j National League standings. Brooklyn’s double header with ( Cincinnati brought out two shut-' out pitching perfromances. I/.rry ■ Benton blanked the Robins in the ! first game although he allowed 10 I hits while his mates made only 7. ' off Hollis Thurston. Dazzy Vance, i Biooklyn ace, turned in a three-hit’ masterpiece and won the second 1 I game, 5 to 0. The other National League I teams. New York and Plttstmrgh,! were not scheduled.

I ‘No one could have done more to I maintain wage rates.” “W hen the conference was held in the fall of 1929, representatives -of various industries expressed themselves in favor of maintaining ! wage rates; and, even though they I were not sent as delegates of their j industries —or even of their own j companies—and had no authority ; to pledge their companies or in- | dustries to any definite plan of action, nevertheless, without exception the industries represented have maintained the wage rates that were in effect two years ago —and the influence of the conference and its conclusion have succeeded in a marvelous manner in sustaining wages.” Condon’s letter was addressed to President Hoover and it was referred by the White House to Lamont for reply. Lamont's statement of policy represented the first break in the I I determined stand i against any wage cutting whats I ever. Lamont was out of the city today. Slaving left ar few dayjs ago tor a vacation. c Lamont's letter was dated July 23, Condon's July 18. A- o — Famous Arizona Lion Killed ' Safford. Ariz.—(U.R)—“Old Slinky,”! known as the thousand dollar lion of the Graham hills, will terrorize j ranchers no more. He was killed this summer by Wiley Shirley, government hunter. The lion, hunted for months, was an astute beast, it being estimated that he killed sl,00<) worth of livestock before falling victim to Shirley’s gun. 0 Inner Tubes Make Dolls TOGUS, Me.—(Uß)—lnmates of the National Soldiers’ Home here keep themselves in pocket money by making dolls from discarded i inner tubes.

PRESIDENT OF j CHILE RESIGNS AFTER REVOLT; ■ (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) jto reject the petition. The deputies demanded General! I Ibanez make his resignation form-! al and complete. He announced he | had "temporarily relinquished” his; authority and retired to Moneda palace, the president’s headquarters. Heavy guards around the United States ambassy aroused a report the president had sought asylum there. This was denied and the United Press learned Ibanez was still at Moneda palace awaiting. j word from congress on his petition. l Premier Montero, in his first I statement to the press, said the l new government would seek a solu- | lion of the economic crisis which was blamed for the unrest which proved Ibanez’ undoing. The withdrawal of General Iban- 1 ez was celebrated with wild abandon throughout the country. Pres-1 cnce of troops prevented serious disorders. Tlie people swarmed madly ■ through the streets, singing and l shouting. They sought to fittack [ newspapers and organizations that supporte the Ibanez regime. Shots were fired sporadically. | Most of them were fired by merrymakers. The crowds moved along ■ the broad avenues of the capital I waving flags and shouting demands for the ’head of Ibanez!” General Ibanez was reported to have fled by airplane to Buenos Aires, by motor ambulance, or to have taken refuge in the United States or the British ambassy. He remained at Moneda palace, however, closely guarded. Members of the Ibanez regime were given refuge in foreign embassies. General Ibanez announced his withdrawal as president in the following decree: “Grave motives have made it impossible for me to exercise my constitutional functions. Don Pedro Opezo Letelier, with the title of l vice-president, will substitute for me in the office of president of the | republic, in accordance with article ; 66 x>f the constitution of the state. Take notice, register and communicate to the national congress. (signed) "Carlos Ibanez, “Carlos Frodden, premier.” o BRIDGE OPEN FOR TRAFFIC (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) in without interference.

URGE CAPTURE OF RACKETEERS ,CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) bcr, the organization was headed by Jack “West Side” Barry and Anthoney "Red" Kissane. Officials ’ said these two were racketeers, Barry was said to have "taken over” the union after returning from Leavenworth prison-where he was sent with the late "Big Tim” Murphy for mail robbery. Orr, a newspaper man for years, I asked the aid of the state’s attorney’s office last year in ousting l Barry from control. The aid was giv-1 en. With Police guarding the doors to keep out undesirables, the union held an election, declared a "New deal' and ousted all the men whom officers said were racketeers. Lounsbury said indications were Orr was killed because of his success in driving racketeers from the Union. He ordered the arrest of Barry. Kissane, Daniel Riore and Tom Flannigan, A newsboy who saw the slaying said a picture of Flannigan resembled one of the slayersMINE LEADER KILLS ENEMY (COKTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) with the gigantic Pittsburgh Terminal Coal company, but some insurgents fought this agreement, just as has the National Mine Workers! Union, "radical" organization with , communistic elements opposing! i the coal companies bitterly. The dramatic effort to kill Fagan 1 was recounted by his niece, Helen' O'Brien. "Uncle Pat was sitting on the porch, about midnight,” Miss O’-' i Brien told the United PYess. "A man came up to the porch and askrd Uncle Pat if this was' 822 Woodburne street and if he' were Fagan. Uncle said ‘yes, H'm' Fagan,” and the man said he was ' > from district 19 and said, “ ‘Well, ; you're gone,' and drew a revolver. "Fagan's son Gerald, 17, was standing in the doorway and he [screamed the man had a gun.

(Then Uncle Pat wrestled with him I and they fell off the porch. Uncle ■ Pat got the gun and the man ran [down the street. I heard three • shots and the man was killed instantly,”. . Snyder, Murphy's companion, [was captured by police a few minutes after he left a car downtown. Fagan is president of the local ; district of the United Mine Work- [ ers. Nine persons have been killed in the’ Tri-State district of Pennsylvania. West Virginia and Ohio, during the present strike, marked by bitter battles between the National Miners’ Union, the radical, avowedly communistic element and the more conservative United Mine ; Workers. Fagan, 43, for years lias been a leader of the United. As president of the local district he largely was responsible for the agreement en- | tered into by the union and the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal company. The agreement, calling for recognition of the union by the company, was assailed bitterly by the National Miners’. Union. They claimed National Mine Workers “again have i sold out the miners to tlie operatI ors” and refused to return to work. I They picketed mines, urging deser- ' tion of the United and allegiance , to the National organization. . 0 Faithfulness Rewarded Logansport, July 27—(U.R)—-Forty ’ years’ faithful service took precedence over blood relationship in the will of an employer, under probate here today. William Fridizer, 60, was employed by Abe Stern as clerk in a meat store for nearly half a century. When Stern died he left $1 to a brother and the bulk of a $50,000 estate to Fridizer. o Stars Throw Off Atoms Victoria, B. C.—(U.R) —A discovery concerning Wolt Rayet stars is reported from the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, Little Saanich Mountain. The stars have been kept under close observation to learn more of the peculiarities. ! Conditions on these stars, it is statI ed, are such that streams of atoms are continually being thrown off their surfaces. The atoms are shot off in enormous numbers and with speeds often as great as 1,000 miles per second. Small Building To Be Strong Portland, Ore.—(U.R)—One of the strongest buildings in the world will be built on lonely Tatoosh Island, off the Washington coast. Although it will be only a small structure, to house a federal weather bureau, it was designed to withstand severe earthquakes and winds of 120 miles an hour velocity. The island is on the fault passing from the Aleutian Islands to California.

BRITISH PLAN NEW AIRLINE LONDON—(U.R) —lnspired by the late Lieut.-Commander Glen Kidston's flight from London to Capetown in six days in an American monoplane, plans have bteen laid for the establishment of a LondonCairo air line using Ford trimotored airplanes, and making the flight regularly in six days against the eleven days of the Imperial Airways route. The new company, which is known as the Anglo-African Air Lines, Ltd., is scheduled to start September 1. Instead of following the East and Central Africa route used by the Imperial Airways, the new company will follow the African West Coast. W. G. Pudney, a former wartime pilot with many years <xf commercial flying, w ill be chisf pilot and in charge ot' the ground organization. In the initial stages of the operation of the new line, Americanbuilt Ford monoplanes will be used, lilit as soon as the new Ford plant at Dagenham, near London, is in operation, in 1932, the firm will use British-built Ford airplanes fitted with either British Jupiter air-cooled or Napier water-cooled engines. AIRWAYS Washington, —(UP) —Aviators in the Northwest fly nightly through a natural tunnel and live to tell it This “tunnel,” which recently has been lighted under the direction of the Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce, is bounded on two sides by the walls of the Columbia River gorge, on the bottom by the river, and overhead by fog. Perilous as it sounds, it is safe compared with the air region over the gorge, due to fog, difficulties of terrain, and heavy foresta- . tion. As a result the ideal of routing - commercial planes right through the lower reaches ot the gorge itself was hit upon. Here the wind keeps the route virtually free from fog, and all that is necessary is to follow a straight course to get through the 50 miles of tunnel from Portland

Oregon to Pasco Washington. To this end flashing lights have been installed all along the route, green on one side and red on the other, so the flier will make no mistake in his direction- In addition two powerful beacons have been installed on each side, and one at each extreme of the gorge, Aviators now may fly at a level of less than 20 feet in case of low fog, keep between the lights, and emerge unscratched. Paris, —(UP)—Henri Bardel, director of the Air Union Company here, and Raoul Ferrier, French engineer, have discovered a “safe” gas, which they have just succeeded . in making air-worthy and thereby eliminating one of the greatest avia- . tion menaces. Tests with the new non-explosive , gasoline have convinced experts

that its advantages are as follows: it can be used by every motor by merely changing the carburfator. The importance of this can be jtidged by the fact that if Diesel aviation engines, burning heavy oils, fire generally adopted it means complete alteration in the construction of aviation engines. It is made from ordinary industrial spirits ,but with a more rigorous control in the di&tilation. It is slightly less expensive than ordinary gasoline and has the same power. The Air Union has lent 4ts aid in the perfection of tlie gasoline, and has announced its decision-of using it as soon as the special carburetors have been manufactured. The perfection tests included eight flights from Paris to London and back in a heavy Goliath passenger plane of s the Air Union.
