DAVILA QUITS AS CHILEAN CHIEF; FIGHTING LOOMS One of Group Who Forced President to Resign Opposes New Regime. t tv f nllrd Pm SANTIAGO, Chile. Sept. 14. Chile* newly-formed provisional government broke into dissension today, and armed opposition was threatened. General Arturo Merino Benitez, one of the military leaders of the revolt, which had forced resignation of President Carlos G. Davila, expressed himself in opposition to the new provisional government of General Bartolome Blanche. General Novoa started a march on the aviation school at El Bosque, demanding surrender of Benitez. Davila resigned the provisional presidency after military and naval groups issued a manifesto declaring Davila was not carrying out the projected program for a So-

cialist government. He had held office since June when he and his followers ousted President Montero in a bloodless revolution. It was announced that a junta consisting of General Bartolome B lan che, Rear - Admiral Carlos .Jouanne, Col. Arturo Merino Benitez, General Luis Otero and General of Carabineros Um-

i

berto Arriagada had taken over the reins of government. An ultimatum demanding surrender of the aviation school, held bv rebel forces on threat of military attacks, was dispatched today to General Benitez, rebel leader. The army leaders, who sent the Ultimatum, prepared machine guns, light artillery and anti-aircraft, guns to oppose the rebels, who were reported threatening to bombard the city if troops attempted to capture air field. About 800 government troops surrounded the air field an hour before the expiration of the ultimatum. Conservative elements expressed fear that the threat of fighting would be a signal for a Communist outbreak. Unconfirmed reports from many parts of the country said “radicals" were organizing for a coup d'etat, and probably were merely awaiting evidences of military support.

BY RAYMOND PACKARD t'nited Pruw Staff CirrogonOnl PARIB, Sept. 14.—The assassin of the beloved President Paul Duomer paid for his crime at dawn today when the sharp blade of the guillotine chopped off his head. Dr. Paul GorgoulofT, half-mad Russian, shot down the frail “Pere” Doumer at a benefit book sale for war veterans on May 7. The knife of the guillotine fell at 6:03 a m. The Russian's head clopped into a basket, and his body thumped into a zinc-lined wicker casket. Within five minutes, horses trotted over the cobble stones drawing a closed van that carried the body to a pauper's grave. Monsieur Paris,” as official guillotiner Anatole Deibler is called, officiated in a gray suit and derby hat. The execution was completed so quickly that even the group of lav/yers, officials, and journalists assembled at Sante prison near the guillotine scarcely saw it. a a a HUNDREDS, including scores on their way home from cabarets of Montmartre and Montparnasse, tried to break through police lines.

ground with a powerful hose to prevent morbid sightseers from dipping handkerchiefs in the blood. Barley half an hour before his execution, according to French law and custom, the assassin wss awakened by his guard, and lawyer, and told that he must die. He said not a word, but dressed calmly. Gorgouloft said a prayer in Russian, as he was token to the prison chapel, repeating the words after a Russian priest. He then went to be prepared for his final toilet. a a a AS his hands were being manacled and the back of his head shaved to better expose his flesh to the sharp knife, Gorgouloff turned to his guards and said: “I am not a Royalist. lam not a Communist. I commend myself to Russian peasants.” He then started to rave about his idea,” and scouted to those around him: “I hope my boy will become a doctor and carry out the principles of my idea.” His wife is expecting a child soon. The Russion died courageously, with the same twisted grin on his face that he often displayed during his trial.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INSIST SCHOOL i BUDGET NEEDS DRASTIC SLASH Demand lor Further Cuts to Be Made at Public Hearing Thursday. Demand for further substantial slashes in the city schools 1932-1933 budget were being prepared today by tax reduction organization representatives to be presented at a public hearing on the school budget Thursday noon. It was understood joint recommendations would be submitted by the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, Chamber of Commerce civic affairs committee, and Marion County Association for Tax Reduction. The three organizations were expected to request additional pay slashes for teachers and other school employes, heavy cut in supply and material items and possibly elimination of the less essential activities of the school system. The school budget, as adopted by j the board, totals $6,535,481, a reduction of $857,425 under the budget for the previous year. New Rate Is Assailed With a $121,000,000 decrease in assessed valuation and heavily increased tax delinquency, the budget will require a tax levy of $1,087 for the 1932-33 school year, as compared with $1 levy for the last fiscal year. "The Indianapolis school rate of $1,087 is the end of a trail of inaction .ignoring the vital need for economy in government,” a statement issued at offices of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association today charges. ! “It is the forerunner of the highest total tax rate with which taxpayers of Indianapolis ever have been confronted. It is time for the schools to begin a retrenchment long overdue. Figures Are Cited “Increased public welfare costs, j lower valuations and reduced revI enue from various sources will play 5 part in causing an increase in this i year's tax rate. “But failure to adopt the logical | and prudent policy of reducing other casts to compensate for these larger requirements, has been equal- ' lv the cause.” The statement cites figures seek- | iito show that in twenty-six years, with an 89 per cent increase in pop- | illation, there has been an increase ; of 673 per cent in the amount of taxes levied for school purposes. Jt is pointed out that taxes levied iiy school purposes have increased from $871,976 in 1906 to $6,746,602 for 1932.

MAINE DEFEAT STIRS HOOVER j TO SPUR AIDS G. 0. P. Leaders Disappointed Over Party Losses: Strong Efforts Urged. fly 1 nitrd Prru WASHINGTON. Sept. 14—Concerned over the Democratic victory in Maine, President Hoover has taken the lead in spurring his Republican lieutenants to greater campaign activity as Governor Roosevelt swings into his transcontinental speaking tour. “We have a strong case and a right cause.” he declared in a personal message to Chairman Everett Sanders of the Republican national committee. He said Republicans had known all along that owing to the ravages of the world depression, the fight would be a hard one, but that the result in Maine imposed need for stronger efforts to make the issues at stake clear to the people. At the same time, he declared continuance of reconstruction efforts transcended all personal and partisan considerations. Some of Mr. Hoover's advisers were urging that he expand his speaking program beyond the two or three addresses now planned. Most Republican leaders made no effort to conceal their disappointment over party losses in Maine. On the contrary, they frankly are using the defeat to stir party workers to more aggressive efforts. Republicans saved one congressional seat in re-electing Representative Carroll Beedv, a dry, but: they lost the other two and the governorship. Because of the close margin by which the Democrats carried the j state this week. Republicans con- j fidently expect that by redoubled efforts they will recapture the state in the presidential election.

LESLIE ASSAILS UPSTATE CHIEFS FOR LOAN CRIES Governor. Irked. Orders Orr to Lake County for Poor Aid Quiz. Lake county officials, who are deploring Governor Harry G. Leslie's failure to immediately approve $1,000,000 in federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds for poor relief, "probably are disappointed because they didn't get to take a S7OO airplane ride,” Leslie charged today. "I understand they had appropriated S7OO for a plane to go to Washington and get the money.' Leslie said. "I guess they thought all I would need to do is to sign the request ,?nd they would fly down there and bring it. back in barrels." Declaring that under the federal law he must assume responsibility for any part, of the $8,000,000 allotted to Indiana communities fo r poor relief by the R. F. C., Leslie said he would not accede to Lake county demands until he learned more about how* the funds are to b° spent. Following a conference with At torney-General James M. Ogden and Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts, Leslie ordered Orr to go to Lake county and investigate. "I have been told of a doctor said to have drawn $30,000 in fees for caring for the poor and never performed a major operation," the Governor declared. “There also are rumors of dentist-s filling teeth for persons whose addresses would oe in Lake Michigan. "If I am to be responsible for expenditures, I don't want such items included." Leslie also said it ‘didn’t, seem likely” that a county with onelwelfth of the population was entitled to one-eighth of the total funds allotted.
