CONDITIONS IMPROVED.
Though the joint commission sub

changes recommended were tempo
rarily held up by the antagonism OF
Secretary of the Treasury Cancio, who
nnally resigned in protest. Meantime
conditions went from bad to worse
and this fact Is said to have been
given equal weight with considera-
tions of Cuba's political and financial
difficulties. In the determination OF
President Wilson to send General

Official advices received today from

Reports to the State Department
are to tho effect that the necessary
legal steps for putting the Torriente
financial plan into operation have
been taken, and IT Is believed there
will be no necessity for renewing

Despite handicaps imposed by the
discontinuance of money payments
there has been a decided change for

and after ten days is sold at auction.
During the week. forty seven Amer

cleared. and the number of American
ships in the harbor was seventy as

tivities here of a youngster OF good
presence, claiming to be a Boy
Scout" of Cleveland. Ohio, and giving
his name as Jack Baynard, have been
reported to the Cleveland authorities
with a view to at least preventing =
repetition in other cities.
The youngster said he was hiking
from Cleveland, where his father is
an architect, to Miami in 20 days on
a $500 wager. He said he had walked
only so miles and was assisted the
remainder of the trip by friendly mo-
torists. He attained his sixteenth
birthday here. Several benevolent
Daytona women attracted by the uni
form and his youthful countenance
extended him the hospitality of their
homes. AT one home he was given a
birthday party with the tell-tale 16
candles and everything.
But when the boy left, the women
charge, he took with him several ar
ticles of value. including jewelry,
and a camera.

HOTTEST ELECTION
By Associated Press)

Chicago, June Civilian Hale
Thompson suffered his first reverse
at the poll since his election as mayor
in 1915 when coalition judicial ticket
swept Chicago today carrying every
Thompson candidate to defeat by I'M
official pluralities ranging from TO-
900 to 10000.
1t was the most hotly contested ju-
dietary election in the city's history.
Balloting was marked by the killing
of a coalition watcher at the polls
by policeman, several small riots
and many charges of fraud. Accord
ing to the police the slain man had
used profanity in the presence of wo-
men voters and it was declared that
he was shot when he resisted arrest.
The Thompson candidates, all re-
publicans, were opposed by the bar
association and other civic bodies. The
coalition ticket was made up of Demo-

NATIONAL REPUB
COMMITTEE WILL
POW POW TODAY

Washington, June 6.-Preliminary
to a meet here Wednesday of the Re-
publican National committee a sub
committee today discussed the ques-
ton of representation of southern
states at national conventions of the
party. While no definite conclusions
were reached those in attendance, in
GLIDING Post Master General Hayes,
We're said to be of the opinion that
southern districts which failed to
place republican candidates for con-
gress in the field in 1922 should be
denied the privilege of sending dele
gates to the next national convention.
Such a policy, in the opinion of mem
bers of the subcommittee, would tend
to stimulate party organization in
the south, although it probably would
materially cut down southern repre-
sentation in the 1924 national conven-
ton.
The subcommittee will consider the
question further tomorrow and eX-
poets to have its recommendations
ready for the full committee Wednes-
day. In addition to adopting a policy
on the southern question the commit
tee is expected to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr.
Haynes.
1t was considered certain today that
John T, Adams, of Iowa, vice chair
man of the national committee, would
be selected to succeed Mr.. Haynes and
Ralph Williams, national committee
man from Oregon would be selected
to succeed Mr.. Adams as vice chair
man.

SOME WANT FLAT

Members of Shop Graft
Unions to Take Vote
On Strike
CBy Associate d PressD

Chicago, June 6.-Demanding that
the entire wage increase granted all
railroad employees in the country by
the railroad labor boards wage award
of 1920 be wiped out, more than $50
railroads appeared before the board
today with renewed petitions for wage
reductions.
Several roads demanded reductions
of a fiat twenty per cent. for all en-
ployes while others merely declared
that every basis for last years in
crease had disappeared and that it
was time to restore the wage schedule
of April 30, 1920, prior to the apli-
cation of the 5000, 100000 wage award.
John G. Walber, representing fifty
four eastern carriers told the board
time and one half pay for overtime
in freight and yard train service
should be abolished and that sche-
dule of wages for the entire country
was discriminatory and "a serious vio-
lation of economic laws"
To Vote on a Strike
Chicago, June 6.-Members of the
six railroad shop crafts unions will
vote during the next 80 days on .ac-
tceptance or rejection o. the new wage
schedule effective July /, recently or

out this week asking the member
ships opinion on the reduction accord

FATHERS OF ZION
CUT DRESSES LOW
BUT FORGET LEGS

Zion, ILL.,, June 1.-The City fathers
of the City of Zion evidently over
looked the fact that dresses would
have a tendency to shorten at both
ends. They covered the tops with
an ordinance, but neglected the bot
toms.
W. Hurd Clendinen, Mayor of Zion,
has had his attention called to this
palpable neglect on the part of the
CT vic powers. He was thunder
struck when he saw how weak the or
dinance was and how helpless the law
was to act in cases where women had
paraded in short skirts.
The present ordinance imposes a
fine of from two to two hundred dol
lars, or from we days to six months
in the city bastile for appearing in
public in "peekaboo" or mosquito-net
stockings, in sleeves that do not some
down to the middle of the forearm,
or in blouses that expose, or partial
ly expose, the neck and shoulders a
greater distance than a third part
from the neck to the tip of the Shout
ders." The wearing of such attire is
deemed "immodest, vulgar, indecent
and suggestive of low and vicious
morals, tending to debauch innocence
and purity and degrade the best in
terests of society,"" But the lengths
of the skirts are not mentioned.

Little Over Fifty Dead
According to Latest

Now Estimated That at

Damage Done
CBy Associated Press)

Pueblo, June 6.-Systematic and
drastic action to ascertain the number
of dead and to clean the city of Pueb-
10, flood stricken for three days, was
begun this afternoon. Acting under
military authority, Lieutenant Colonel
Paul P. Newton ordered every able
bodied man to apply himself to the
task of removing the debris from the
streets as a measure to prevent dam
ger from fire and pestilence. The or
der bars sight-seers from the city
and makes work compulsory, either for
the stipulated pay or under military
guard without pay.
The city has been divided into eight
wards for a sanitary survey and each
ward has been assigned to doctors
and four nurses. DR.. John c. Cornell,
of the United States Public Service,
at Denver, said there was no epidemic
of contagious diseases and that only
five cases of chicken pox had been
reported to the authorities since the
food.
Volunteer doctors from Colorado
Springs and sixteen from the public
] health service at Denver are aiding
the city physicians.
Recovery of bodies is progressing
slowly, searches being impedded by
the slowly receding waters and by the
great coating of mud over every col
lection of debris. A careful check by
the Associated Press showed AZ b odies
in morgues here today. To this list
were added ten more known dead
when a reporter for the Pueblo Chief
tain made his way from st. Charles
Mesa six miles down stream to re-
sport the number of bodies recovered
there.
Many bodies probably never will be
found as they were carried down
stream below Pueblo by the terrific
forces of the flood. Searchers of the
buildings was conducted today as
workmen were engaged in clearing
them out. Some recovery of bodies
has been made and in cases where
bodies are known to have been found
it was impossible to learn where they
had been taken. No estimates can be
made accurately of the number of
persons missing.
With the recession of the waters
from the inundated district Pueblo
citizens were able to make some esti-
mate of the damage wrought by the
angry waters of the Arkansas and
Fountain rivers,
Stretching an irregular far flung
over thirty blocks long and of max
imum width of twelve blocks, COM
prising about $50 city blocks, the
damaged area after the curtain of
water had been withdrawn presented
an aspect of desolation that forced
many observers to revise the earliest
estimates of $10,OOO,O0O to one near
er S15,O00,000.
