BLOOD FLOWS IN PERU city HELD BY REDS Murder, Lynching, Looting Arson Rampant Before Rebels Are Routed. By United Press LIMA, Peru, July 12.—Reports of murder, lynching, looting and arson during occupation of the city of Trujillo, Peru, by Communist rebels, were brought here today by eyewitnesses to the federal troops’ recapture of the city. Witnesses said that civil guards were stripped and lynched in public squares, and that young daughters of Pedro Lariva, prefect of Trujillo, were murdered in their home. Kidnap Leading Citizens The streets of Trujillo were filled with dead and wounded, the eyewitnesses said. Tlhe rebels found ambush on roofs of private houses, and in parapets, church towers and office buildings. The rebels let the federal troops enter the city unmolested, then opened fire from their concealed positions, and started conflagrations by prearranged signals. Officers and several men of the first artillery, stationed at Trujillo, were carried off when the rebels fled from the city. Several prominent residents of Trujillo were missing after the rebel evacuation and their fate was unknown. Pursued by Planes Colonel Ruiz Bravo, commander-in-chief of the northern army, and his aid, Lieutenant Manuel Esca-; lante, had a narrow escape when j rebels fired on them from house | tops. Colonel Bravo ordered two army planes to bomb the rebels on the ; house tops, and the snipers and i their nests were blown away. Federal troops completed the oc-; cupation of Trujillo early Monday, j and airplanes pursued the rebels outside the city. Brazil Fights Revolt By United Press RIO DE JANEIRO, July 12.—The j Brazilian government dispatched \ forces by land and sea today to j quell a military revolt in the rich j and powerful state of Sao Paulo, while support of the government; was assured from two states claimed by the rebels, Rio Grande Do Sul and Minas Geraes. Provisional President Getulio Vargas said in a manifesto he would never capitulate to the rebels’ demands, but would give them the opportunity to abandon the “foolish struggle.’’ Sao Paulo lies between Rio Grande j on the south and Minas Geraes on J the north. It was reported that the two state governments were prepared to send troops against the rebels. Meanwhile, the cruiser Rio Grande Do Sul sailed from here under j forced draft for Santos, famous “coffee port, - ’ with 800 soldiers! aboard. The government offered the rebels all facilities for settling their dispute by arbitration. The rebels continued in control' of the Sao Paulo garrison and dis-1 tributed arms and ammunition to! civilians supporting them. SEEKS LARGER BOARD Hoover Wants Eight Reconstruction Finance Directors. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 12.—President Hoover has asked congress to enlarge the directorate of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and place it on a strictly nonpartisan basis. Mr. Hoover proposed that there be eight directors instead of seven and that the places be divided equally between Republicans and Democrats. This would require appointment of one more Democrat.

Name Counts

Without spending a cent or making a speech, Will Rogers (above), 33-year-old school teacher of Moore, Okla., led a field of twenty-five candidates for the Democratic nomination for con-gressman-at-large in Oklahoma’s primary. Flabbergasted politicians laid his victory to the fact that his name, on the ballots, was the same as that of Oklahoma's famous cowboy philosopher, and that many persons thought they were voting for the latter. Now Rogers will oppose the runner-up, Mrs. Mable Bassett, in a runoff primary.

He owned shoe factories throughout Europe and was preparing to extend his activities to other parts of the world, including England and India. He used the mass production methods made famous by Henry Ford, and raised the daily output of his shoe factories to 100,000 pairs. . Bata was recognized as the leader of the Americanization of European industry. He owned approximately 2.000 retail shoe stores in Czechoslovakia, and several hundred others in various countries of Europe.

‘WITHERS’. OP’RYI IS STILL A CLASSIC Hokum Comedy Dating Back to the Old Days Remains a Most Pleasant Fact on a Modern Vaudeville Bill. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THERE are few acts in vaudeville now days which truthfully may be termed institutional. Such an act is Charles Withers and his “Withers’ Op'ry,” which is a rowdy burlesque on variety years and years ago, I first saw W ithers and his ’op ry house” at least twelve years ago at Keith's in this city where it was featured on an ' bil l being presented t#ice daily. Withers can fall into a pail with better sloppy comedy results than anybody in the bv He has more stage “inventions” than any guy on the stage. , true his act is lowly hokum, but it is a classic in the hr witoftl feet of Withers. The best proof is that this act has 1 ; J

lived for many years on the vaudeville stage and he is doing as much four times a day as he did twice a day on the old Keith time. Rognan and Trigger go in for eccentric acrobatics. James Burroughs is a tenor and he sings “The Weding of the Painted Dolls” in a pleasing manner. Donald Burke, his pianist, has a character study piano number of an aged pianist playing a great composition. Kane and Hazelton stoop to bur-

lesque in conversation and dress too often during the act. Six Avalons have a wire and acrobatic act of fine circus ability, Raymond and Ann have nothing that is new in ventriloquist work. June Brown, a little girl of this city, who acted in “Symphony of Six Million” as well as with Chic Sale, Jackie Cooper and Joan Crawford, is an added attraction on the bill. Now at the Lytic.

AGED DEMOCRAT WHISTLER DEAD Conventions Strain Fataf for Easterner. By United Press ROCHESTER. N. Y.. July 12. William C. Page, 76, whose whistlei tooting at the recent Democrats i convention ln Chicago mystified radio listeners until they learned he w's signaling to the folks back home, died today in his Mumford home near here. His friends said the strain of the all-night session in Chicago, coupled with a minor taxicab accident there, contributed to his death. He had been ill since his return. Page, known locally as “The Sage J of Wheatland,” had attended every Democratic convention since 1876. In the last two meetings, with radio carrying the proceedings to the j folks back home, he hit on the idea j of whistling whenever a ballot was ! taken, or a candidate was greeted, in order to let his friends know he | was “in there fighting.”
