Brown, campaign chairman, to give workers two additional days for solicitation of funds. “Two Saturdays and two Sundays 'fall between Oct. 17 and Oct. 27, giving the workers only five days of actual work up to today," Brown explained in setting the closing date of the drive for Wednesday. The next report meeting of workers after today will be Monday noon. Report, meetings Tuesday and Wednesday will be held at 6:30 p. m. instead of at noon, Brown said. It’s Up to Citizens "It’s up to individual citizens.” With this declaration of responsibility for the success of the drive, , workers were urged to make each canvass of residences and .small business firms count toward the $865,000 charity fund. “We don’t want a lull in the campaign, and to avoid this lull the individual gifts division must make increased reports,’’ asserted Brown. A total of 63 per cent, or $552,480, of the drive’s goal has been pledged. “Contributions from ’individual citizens are coming in slowly and these contributions must be speeded . up,” Brown said. 21,261 Donors Listed “Citizens of Indianapolis never have failed to respond generously and adequately in times of an emergency and this is an emergency. Indianapolis must not and will not fail.” Howard T. Griffith, chairman of the industrial district, of the employes’ division, reported Thux-sday his workers had raised $1,685 in excess of the district’s $56,000 quota. Three hundred and seven Indian- * apolis employes of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana have contributed $1,753 this year, an average of $5.71 each, A. C. Mathias, plant chairman, reported. The first team in the individual gifts division to report a quota reached was when Ca’rl McCann, captain of Team 52 of District 5 listed his team's total as $6,423.64 or $1,626 more than its quota. Reports from many business firms, branches of national organizations, are slow coming in, due to necessity of branch managers securing permission to donate from their directorates.

Hu NBA Service Kansas city, oct. 24.— a modern Rip Van Winkle is Charles Francis, 48, who just has returned to the little Missouri town of Parkville to try to pick up the threads of a life broken off twenty-two years ago. For twenty-two years Francis was a man without a past, without a sure identity—a wanderer plopped down in a far-western city to make the best of things in any way he could. His previous existence in Parkville was as though it never had been. B Then, suddenly and by chance, he was called back to that former life; and now he is trying to bring back his memory of old days and old places, to continue a form of existence thfit suffered a gap of more than two decades. a TWENTY - TWO years ago Francis lived in Parkville, a Missouri river town a few miles up stream from Kansas City, with his wife and his year-old son. One day in 1903 he took a load of horses down to Kansas City to sell them. Arriving in Kansas City, Francis plunged into a cloud of darkness. He found himself, weeks later, in Montana. He had forgotten who he was and where he came from. He does not know yet how he got to Montana. He had cn a strange suit of clothes, the labels of which bore the name of “Lee Brown.” It is believed now that he was slugged and robbed and that the injury deprived him of his memory, causing him to wander aimlessly west until a vestige of recollection returned to him. At any rate, Francis got a job on a farm near Billings, Mont., as Lee Brown. There, for twentytwo years, he worked unable to discover anything about himself. nun FINALLY, not long ago, a Parkville man happened to encounter him in Billings. “Aren’t you Charles Francis?” demanded the man. Francis was puzzled. “Guess my name’s Brown,’’ he said. The acquaintance- notified Francis’ relatives in Parkville and some of them went to Billings. There they made sure of Francis’ identity and persuaded him to come back with them. One by one they told him who they were and recalled old incidents of his past to him; and slowly he began to remember their faces and the events they talked about. Over and over again he would say, hesitantly, “Yes, I remember." When he first came home he met his mother. “So. you really are my mother,” he said. “I had the impression that my mother was dead, although I couldn't remember who she was.” t s n n AT that his mother fell into his, arms, sobbing. Her tears stirred a memory that her face and voice had failed to arouse. “Oh, mother—now I remember!” he cried. This time his voice was sure. “It’s wonderful to find you. mother.” Then he was introduced to 23-year-old Leland Francis, his own son. “I can't realize all at once that I have a grown son,” he told the boy. “But I’ll try to get used to it. and I’ll learn to love‘you and I hope you’ll learn to love me.” There was one dear one of the old days whom Francis could not meet. His wife, who had waited twenty years for him to return, died two years ago. BAN Postoffice Messenger Is Robbed of Large Illinois Pay Rolls.

MACHINE GUN VOLLEY KILLS GANG LEADER Joe Aiello Murdered in Trap; 62 Bullet Holes Counted in Body. AL CAPONE IS BLAMED Slaying Reprisal for Death of Lingle, Police Officials Believe. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—Joe Aiello, one of the “Big Four" of the Chicago underworld, was murdered Thursday night by two squads of machine gunners who directed a deadly cross-fire of bullets at him as he emerged from his hiding place. Aiello, deadly enemy of Scarface A1 Capone, was ambushed by gangster enemies who apparently had

lain for days or even weeks in an apartment overlook in g the gang leader’s hideout, awaiting the moment they could open fire. Capone’s enemy, who, like A1 himself, was called a “public enemy” by the crime commission, fell, thirty-two bullets in his back, o.ne through his left eye, his right great toe shot away and his

right leg broken in two places by slugs. Early today county morgue physicians had counted sixty-two bullet holes and said there might be more. The murder occurred in a fashionable residential district on North Kolmar avenue on the northwest side. The only witness was James P. Ruane, taxicab driver, who had been called to the apartment where Aiello, who, like many other gang leaders, had been a fugitive since Alfred Lingle was killed on June 9, was hiding. Burst of Flame Starts ’Works’ Ruane entered the hallway, found the bells out of order, kicked on the corridor door to notify his fare he had arrived and started back to his cab. Aiello, the fare, followed about fifteen feet in the rear. As he opened the car door, the driver heard a noise across the apartment courtyard. He turned and saw a window opening slowly. A cumbersome looking object was laid across the sill. There was a burst of flame. As the courtyard rang with the roar and the echo of machine gun fire, and the crack of splintering wood and shattered glass, Aiello staggered, shouted something unintelligible, glared for a moment, terrified, at the machine gun nest, .then turned and half ran, half stumbled, around a corner and into a narrow court. Finds Himself Trapped There he halted as if to congratulate himself upon his escape. But his enemies had anticipated he might use just this avenue of escape. There was a second burst of fire, this one from the rear of the narrow court. The roar of the machine gun in the little inclosure was deafening. It continued for a moment, echoes followed, and the clamor died out. Deathly silence followed. Ruane ran from behind his cab. Motorcycle Policeman Charles Fuller, who lives a block away, had heard the shots and joined the cab driver. They placed Aiello’s body in the cab and took it to a hospital. Willing to Wait for Days Detectives broke into the apartment from which the bullets had been fired. They found evidence that a group Df men had been waiting there for days and were prepared to wait many more days if necessary to ge f Aiello “on the spot.” Fat Roche, chief investigator for the state’s attorney, advanced a theory that Aiello was ordered killed by Capone in reprisal for the murder in June of Lingle, Capone’s friend. This, he pointed out, also might explain the murder a few months ago of Jack Zuta, Aiello’s lieutenant

End of Uprising Comes in Incredibly Short Time After Revolt at Fortress. . BY C. A. POWELL United Press Staff Correspondent RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Oct. 24. The Brazilian government was overthrown today and revolutionary forces took control of the capital. Mobs raced through the streets looting and burning within a few

hours of the resignation of President Washington Luis. In the face of an ultimatum giving him until 10 to get out of office and save further blodoshed on the fighting fronts, Washington Luis resigned at 9:40 a. m. A military junta or committee headed by General Leite De Castro took over the reins of power. With Leite De Castro as provisional “president, it was expected congress would be dissolved and anew cabinet named. Despite the success of the revolution, the future of the country remained in great confusion, for while the government was actually in the hands of Leite De Castro and his generals here, the main element of the revolution, with its recognized leader, Getulio Vargas, was advancing on the state of Sao Paulo from Rio Grande Do Sul. It was believed Vargas and the revolutionary army would march through Sao Paulo and enter the city of Sao Paulo, then advancing into Rio and consolidating the revolution. While Leite De Castro played a leading part in the triumph of the revolutionaries, it was announced that General Menna Barreto would have temporary charge of the provisional government. Negotiations were begun

with rebel leaders through the nation in an effort to clear the status of leadership. The disposition of the president was uncertain. One report said he had taken refuge in the palace of Cardinal Sebastio Leme. Other reports said both Washington Luis and Vice-President Mello Vienna were held prisoners. Several Are Injured Several persons were reported injured in the attacks on newspaper buildings, some being shot and others hit by stones. The number was believed small. After destroying newspapers regarded as pro-government, a mob of thousands marched cheering down the Avenida Rio Branco, acclaiming the success of the revolution.

The end of the revolution, which started on Oct. 3, came with incredible swiftness. A long-drawn struggle had been expected and almost until the hour of its doom, the government had been issuing optimistic statements of its success on the southern fighting front. Area Larger Than U. S. Overnight, the destinies of Brazil, a country of 40,000,000 population with an area larger than the United States, were turned over to a revolutionary leadership backed by force of arms. It is the fourth South American republic to undergo a revolution in the last few months, the others having been Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. It was the defection of the garrison at the important coast artillery post of Copacabana fortress, at Rio De Janeiro, backed by the Third regiment, that turned the tide for the revolutionaries. Leite De Castro issued an announcement saying he had gone over to the revolution “to save needless bloodshed and fighting between brothers.” Bugle Call Is Surprise There had been rumblings of trouble at the garrisons for two days, but the sharp call of a bugle at the Third regiment quarters at 2 a. m. today was a surprise for the government. The bugle was a signal that the ultimatum demanding resignation of the president had been sent to the palace. The ultimatum was accompanied by a warning that unless the president resigned, the heavy guns of the artillery would be trained on the capital. Paraguay Minister Is Shot Bu United Press ASUNSCION, Paraguay, Oct. 24. Finance Minister Eligio Ayala was shot and wounded seriously Thursday night by an assailant named Barreiro, who was killed by Ayala’s return fire.

The brother-in-law blamed Mrs. O’Loughlin’s enmity toward him for her accusations. Leo O’Loughlin, a city detective and father of the slain girl, said he believed his brother was innocent. The filing of the murder charges preceded a hearing on Mrs. O’Loughlin’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Mrs. O’Loughlin had been held incommunicado from Sunday until late Thursday, when her attorney, John Keating, obtained a court order permitting him to interview her. Captain Clark, H. F. Reed, chief of police, and Earl Wettengel, district attorney, said the attorney demanded an interview -with Mrs. O’Loughlin when she was on the point of making a written, detailed confession tc- them. The authorities said they obtained an oral confession in which Mrs. O’Loughlin implicated three other persons. The name of Frank O’Loughlin, the brother-in-law, was brought in by inference only, Captain Clark declared.
