‘FIGHTING MUST STOP' IS EDICT TO RAVENSWOOD Town Board Meeting Is Disrupted Again by Rioting. ‘Our fights must stop.” This was the cry of Ravenswood's officials and citizens today after eighteen months of factional quarrels that are threatening real estate values as well as the standing of the town. This injunction came opportunely after three claimants to the post of town marshal argued among themselves Monday night, while a fight ensued that disrupted the town board meeting and caused a woman to be trampled under the feet of rioting male citizens. Reek to Restore Order Board members sought to restore order. But retorts of “Bolshevik” and “trouble maker” that flew between the women, caused their husbands and brothers to join the melee. Even the town’s few business leaders, whose establishments are empty for want of customers, have decided “something must be done” for the town’s welfare and will meet this week to form a program. Business of the board, with Robert Stamm, as chairman, now at peace with Charles Ford, minority board member, moved peacefully at its conclusion Monday night. William Hubbs Sr. was absent on a trip east. Who shall be town marshall is the serious thorn pricking the village’s governmental body. Stamm favors D. J. Donovan for the post, while Ford declares Ben Smithley will exert police powers. “Enough Court Action” Both Stamm and Ford, agreeing to work peacefully i n absence of Hubbs have promised to decide upon the rightful marshall and furnish him with deputies to clear the town of vice and riot. Impeachment proceedings against Ford, minority board member, have been dropped temporarily, at least. “Ravenswood has had enough of court actions and unfavorable publicity,” Stamm declared. Finances of the town arc in a sorry state, it is reported. Town ?-r=ft k i. GroVer S ‘ Smit h reported a $750 balance in the treasury with several outstanding obligations. Captain Dollar Unchanged SAN RAFAEL, Cal., May 12.

Famed Speed Driver Is Stung by the ‘Air Bug’

Deacon Litz Flies Most of Time He’s Away From 'Gasoline Way.’ BY NORMAN E. ISAACS You wpuld think that a fellow who sits behind the wheel of a race car and pilots it around the championship tracks of the nation at giddy speeds would be satisfied with doing 120 *.nd more miles an hour. Hot so with Deacon Litz, Pennsylvania giant, who handles a race car at 100 miles an hour easier than you twist yours around at fifteen. Deacon’s got the "air bug,” and if the weather gets so bad he can’t “go up,” the big fellow just sits around his garage and moons over his tough luck. For Deacon is in the skies nearly all of the time he's not on Mother Earth. And most of the time he's not in the air he’s in a race car, a big grin on his face as the wind whistles by—at 100 miles an hour. “The Faster the Better” “It’s the only way to travel,” says the Du Bois, Pa., speed merchant, “and just as soon as a race is over why just pack up the old iron (racing jargon for automobile) and send it on. Then fly. That’s all there is to it.” Litz has been wheeling race cars for years and he’s a driver’s driver. That is to say that he can match hub capo with anybody in the business, no matter how fast the gait is. Deacon took to the air a little more than a year ago and they haven’t been able to get him down on earth for any reasonable length of time since. “Why come down.” says Deacon, ‘that’s the life up there. Except maybe when there’s a race on or something.” Besides being a flier and a race driver, the huge Litz—all 220 pounds of him—is a movie actor, to boot. Haven’t you ever heard the story? He’s the Movie Hero Several years ago when the movie company from Hollywood invaded Indianapolis to make their racing picture at the Speedway, who but Deacon was chosen to “double” for the hero? All the pre-scenes were taken showing the hero bedecked in spotless white, tinkering with Deacon's beautiful white racing job. Mr. Litz was on the sidelines. Cable race day and Deacon became the hero. With the movie cameras grinding away, Litz shot out in front of the pack at a dizzy speed and stayed out there for miles and miles and miles. Perhaps you saw the picture. Well, the “hero” in white gallantly piloting that gasoline buggy around the mammoth Indianapolis track was none other than Mr. Deacon Litz of Du Bois, Pa., actor, flier, race driver.

Going to prove that he likes speed in the air just as he does on the earth, Deacon Litz is pictured here clambering into Dick Arnett’s sturdy little Waco for a flight from the speedway to municipal airport to pick up his own ship.

DEATH CLAIMS WORLD-FAMOUS VIOLIN MASTER Eugene Ysaye Conducted Cincinnati Symphony for Four Years. By United Press BRUSSELS. Belgium, May 12. Eugene Ysaye, 72, world renowned violinist and former conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, died today. Ysaye's death came suddenly. At midnight he had discussed Beehoven's fifth symphony with his physician. Then his heart weakened and he died at 4:35 a. m. Ysaye ranked with the finest masters of the violin and was endowed with extraordinary temperamental power as an interpreter. He was born at Liege, Belgium, July 16, 1858, the son of Nicholas and Theresa Sottiau Ysaye. He began musical studies under his father, who was an orchestra conductor. Later he came under the tutelage of R. Massart at the conservatoire in Brussels. After acquiring artistic polish from the noted composers, Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps, Ysaye went on the concert stage. He played in Germany in 1879 and the next year became leader of Bilse’s orchestra in Berlin. For the next six years Ysaye made frequent appearances in Paris and London. He returned to the Brussels conservatoire in 1886 as violin professor. While there he instituted the celebrated orchestra concerts of which he was manager and conductor. During the war he came to America, where he subsequently conducted the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra from 1918 to 1922. HAWAII DIPLOMAT DIES Lorrin Andrews Thurston, 73, Expires at His Honolulu Home.
