Ten cabarets, including several of the most noted entertainment places in Chicago, are to be closed by Mayor Thompson for alleged "tilting of the lid." according to reports at the city hall today. Alleged liquor selling, gambling and catering to women of the underworld will be the grounds for the mayor's action. Licenses of Colisimo's and Iks Bloom's "Midnight Frolics," two of the best known cabarets in the city, already have been revoked by tun mayor, who has emphatically rejected strong pleas to restore the licenses. j Mayor Thompson's crusade again.-st' cabarets is coincident with a determin-j ed drive by federal officials and the i police against illegal liquor selling.! Thirty-five saloonkeepers are reported to have confessed to Dist. Atty. Ciine their knowledge of a $3,000,000 whiskey plot Involving more than 100 men. Several federal officials and policemen are said to be Involved. t INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! BOSTON. Nov. 5. Ambrose E.

GARY AGOG. Gary has been agog for to days over a well defined rumor which ha 1 it that federal warrants had been issued fur the arrest of two prominent citizens oie of them a cuunty official I and the other a city official. The arrests were expected as a result of thu I investigation ly fe'deral agents of a number of liquor cases tried in the Gary city court. According to the story yesterday tha warrants had already been issued and today the newest detail is that they have been served quietly. Federal officials at Hammond, while expecting some action soon, resulting from the investigation, had no Intimation from Indianapolis that the blow had fallen. It was expected that the warrants, if Issued, would be sent to Deputy U. S. Marshal Walter Mybeck for service although it was posaibl that Marshal Mark Storen might come in person to make the arrests. It had been expected that if warrants were requested, they would be taken out before TJ. S. Commissioner Charles Surprise in Hammond but it would be possible to have them issued I by the commissioner at Ind lanapolii. In either event the men arrested would be arraigned before Mr. Surprise. Neither Mr. Surprise nor Mr. Mybeck is in Hamond today which lends credence to the rumor which is causing such a flurry in Gary. IN ST. LOUIS ST. LOUI3. Mo., Nov. 5. With her throat cut from ear to ear. the bruised and battered body of Miss Edna Ellis, nineteen year old, was found on a vacant, lot within a block and a half of her home at 1833 North Garrison avenue, this morning. Every clue indicated the girl had given up her life in defending herself from an attempted brutal ttack. Her clothing was torn and the kid gloves she wore wei slashed to threads. Her hands were cut to the bone, evidently due to her having attempted to grab the weapon. Both her eyes were bruised and blackened. The vanity box which sh clutched in her hand was crushed and broken. GARY COUPLE IN T Refusal of her husband to accompany her to church or places of amusement, coupled with other offenses which she lnterperts as cruel and inhuman treatment, resulted in the filing of a petition for divorce by Mrs. Harriet C. Vardaman of Calumet township today. The complaint filed in the Hammond superior court by Attorney C. B. Tinkham, says that the plaintiff and James M. Vardaman were married Jun 3, 1697. They separated last July while they were living in Gary. She says that during a period of five or six years, her husband's cast of cruelty had increased until the home was kept in a turmoil and living together was impossible. Ho struck and slapped her and finally ordered her from the home. They have three children, all of whom are now supporting themselves. NERVY DAYLIGHT SOUTH SIDE HOLDUP CHICAGO, Nov. 5. A bold daylight robbery on the South Side this forenoon netted four bandia $30,000 and $40,000 In bonds which was on its way to the State Bank at Hyde Park. The four men attacked Thomas Grace, bank messenger, near the Illinois Central railroad tracks at Firtythird street. The men escaped. SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN DETROIT DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 4. One train cut off the legs of "Walter Frantz, 11 and almost at the same Instant a second train going In the opposite direction cut off his hands when he fell between the passing cars late Wednesday. The boy lived but a few minutes. He was playins on a box car when a switch engine backed down and struck the cars, throwing the boy to the ground with his feet under the car on which he had been playing. His hands fell on the parallel track end the wcond train went over them. NEW MEXICO REPUBLICAN ALBUQUERQUE. N. M., Noy, S. Complete but unofficial returns from every county in New Mexico today give President-elect Harding a majority of 5.500 votes. Merrltt Mechem, republican for governor, has a majority of 4,305 over R.

Attionsr the possible choices and the positions mentioned in con T SCRAP THE LEAGUE President-Elect Said Last Night "The League is Now Deceased BT FLOTD MACGRIFF MARION. O.. Nov. 5 President-elect Warren G. Harding has Interpreted the overwhelming republican majority as a mandate from Amcrit'a' to scrap the Wilsoniau covenant of the league of nations. That was the outstanding fact today In national and international politics. Senator Harding first indicated his chief impression as to what Tuesday's cnormus ballot implied in a shop talk with newspaper men. But in addressing some 20.000 enthusiasts with blaring bands and red fire who stormed the Harding home last night he made public his position, clearly and unmistakably, when he said: "The league Is now deceased." When the mock bier bearing the prone form of the "league of nations" passed in review Senator Harding smiled ar.d acknowledged the tribute with a wave of his hand. Fandemonium had been continuous, but the funeral effigy drew fresh cheers from some, while others stood silent and thoughtful. Then the league's p-Ul bearers moved on only to return later, coming within a dozen yards of the stone balustrade upon which the president-elect stood, so that he could Inspect the dead "covenant" trailed by democratic rooster draped In biack, to better advantage. But Senator Harding made It clear that :s president hi would seek to fulfil campaign declarations that a fraternity -f rations be formed, based on h.sr'.ce. wherein ti ; U.

They allege that in some districts there was wholesale repeatlns by voters, the practice having been particularly flagrant In the mountain precincts. Palmer directed that immediate prosecutions be lodged wherever the facts warranted that course. HARDING'S BIG LEAD IN OREGON PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 5. Warren G. Hardin has carried every county in Oregon and is now 54.992 votes ahead of Gov. Cox. This plurality Is on the basis of complete returns from 21 counties and incomplete returns from all the others.

The total of the hauls made by the burglars was small but the numerous attempts indicate that more night prowlery are drifting into Hammond as cold weather approaches. The first attempted burglary was reported shortly after 10 o'clock from the Cal McClelland home, 432 Eaton street. There a man had jimmied the i -rk window, but the breaking of the lock, aroused th family. Mr. Mct'ivi.d.nd .-witched on a hsht and the piowler ran away.

A few scattered precincts remain to be heard from. Democrats' have raised the cry of fraud and are preparing to contest Ernst's election, it was declared today. With a few scattered ipreclncts to bo heard from, Gov. Cox has a lead of 3,500, but the precincts yet to report are expected to show republican pluralities.

TENTATIVE Cm ti SELECTED? Souttieiiand of Utah and Weeks cf Mass, will Prodably get Places THE FOLLOWING STORV UK Gi: R. HOLMES. REGARDING .-l,, MAKE-UP OK i'ltUSlbEM-fcii.:.. i WARREN G. HARDING'S CAUl.NKi IS BASED ON MOKE THAN JILKl GUESS WORK. MR. HOUJLS V..V& STATIONED WITH MR. HARDING ALL DURING THE CAMPAIGN AND IS IN A POSITION" TO WHITE INTELLIGENTLY OF THE CAUI.VI.i SELECTIONS OF THE I'RLcIDEN 1 -ELECT. EDITOR. Bl GEORGE HOLMES STAFF COHREaPONDENi I. N. SERVICE; NEW YORK, Nov. 5.- Two ot t .--ten men who will constitute the nest cabinet and assist President Warren G. Harding in directing the d'.-stinied of the nation lor the four years beginning March 4 next, have already boon tentatively selected by tht, presidentelect .it is believed. ACTIVITIES ARE SHOW.V W'hile cabinet-making is yet in th-": speculative stago, a summer spent on the Harding front porch at Marion rev&aled the activities of several men activities which were a v.tai factor -ri providing the unprecedented r publican victory and those close to icna.luj Harding do not believe that places can ba denied these men. SITHEKLAD OF IT AH. One of tht men to whom a cab.net post is assured is ex-Senator Gturgs Sutherland, of Lta.ii. Sutherland ai at Marion most of the summer. H-j was perhaps Senator Harding's closest adviser and confidant. He is by long odd3 the leading candidate for the attorney-generalship. He ;s a lawyer by profession and an cx-chairman ef the American Bar Association. WEEKS OF MASSAtHl SETTS. The other man who is considered a cabinet certainty is ex-Senator John W. Weeks, o: Massachusetts. U'tCitj was one of the most influential members of the republican executive committee, the organization nominally responsible, at least, fe-r Tuesdays avalanche. Senator Wetks is an Annapolis graduate, conversant v.tih ncal affairs, and indications point tj ir.s succeeding Joscphus Daniels as the head of the American navy. MOST 1M PORTA 1 T POST. The secretaryship of state, the mo;', important po3t which Harding will have to fill, is one '.vhicii is already causing the presidenl-e'eet and his advisers considerable concern. Four names so far have been prominent! mentioned for this post Kiihu lioui. Henry Cabot Lodge, Philander C. Kmx and Herbert Hoover. MAY DISREGARD ROOT. Unless there arises unseen developments before the "pickin' season'- :.- over, it is believed that Root's name can be disregarded. Those close ! Harding say that he does not consieier hlmsclf or the present republican heads under any particular obligations to Mr. Root, and it is a known fact that Root's European actviiies during the heat of the campaign were causing the republican heads grave concern. KNOX IX POOH HEALTH. It is doubtful if Senator Knox a health will permit him to assume s important a post. Senator Ludgo has protested that he docs not desire a cabinet position and Herbert Hoover's position is generally known. It is believed Herbert Hoover will have a responsible position in the next government in any event. Hoover's cspousul of the republican position on the league at a critical time is rocogniz d and the republican chieftain? are trulj grateful. They recognize him as oi.e of the best informed men on world affairs in America. CHICAGO DA.VKF.R MEVTIOED For secretary of the treasurer lour names have been mentioned prominently Gov. Frank O. Lovvden, of Illinois. Frank Vanderlip. of New York; George Reynolds, Chicago banker, a;id that of Weeks, already mentioned for the navy. There is a warm personal friendship between Lowden and Harding. The Illinois governor retires from public life on Jan. 1 and it is known that Harding feels that his knowledge and wide executive experience, particularly in financial matters, should not be lost to the public. MAY XOT BE ARMY MAN. Secretary of War is another cabinet, position which is causing much scratching of heads. But for thf: prejudicu of making an army man head of the department It is bclieveu that Gen. Wood or Gen. Pershing would draw the post. The latter is retiring from the army anyway and certainly no man has a wider knowledge .of American military affairs or European than has the late Commander-in-chief of the A. E. F. The name of Julius Kahn. of California, chairman of the house military affairs committee .also has been mentioned. HAYES IS cosioi:nEu. It is considered a certaintly thai Ohio will have one member of ths cabinet. If the picking was to be done today Ohio would probably get the postmaster-generalship. There are two prominent Ohioans for this post Walter F. Brown, ex-Progressive leader of Ohio, who comes from Toledo, and Harry M. Daugherty, Harding's personal adviser or matters political. Other names heard In this connection are WUl H. Hayes of Indiana, and Charles X. Hilles, of New York. For Secrtary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, prominent publisher of a national farm publication. is mentioned. Wallace is from Iowa. For Interior, Herbert Hoover lias been the center of much speculation because he is an engineer ,a conservation advocate and familiar with tha conditions in the Far West. Gifford Pinchot, Pennsylvania, state forester has been a frequent visitor to Marion this summer. He also is much concerned with conservation and interior matters. Senator Harding probably will not devote serious consideration to forming his cabinet until after his month's vacation. Meanwhile he will be the recipient of thousands of suggestions and no little pressure from many quarters relative to his appointments.
