CHICAGO, Nov. 6.--Revolutions may
be accomplished quietly, without drama
or bloodshed. Such revolution-a
sweeping change in Americas unwritten
political theory-has been accomplished
in the apparent election of two women
governors of states.
Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, known as
MA" has been elected governor of
Texas over opposition furnished by
DIR. George Butte, republican candidate,
who refuses to eoncede her election.
Mrs. Nellie t. Ross, who, like MA"
Is democrat, has been chosen governor
Of Wyoming, according to available re-
turns. Republicans concede her cleo
ton by $500 votes over Eugene Sui
Ivan, her opponent, while the demo-
Gratis claim she heat Sullivan by 5000.
Mrs, Ross, who succeeds her late bus
band as governor, plans to carry on his
ideals and projects when she rules
Wyoming.
II consider the large vote as tribute
to the character and able record of my
beloved husband, and as an expression
of confidence in me as capable and
worthy of taking up the responsibilities
laid down by him little more than q

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The
full measure of the republican
victory at the polls could not
yet be taken tonight but the
returns continued to show that
President Coolidge would
have at least a hundred votes

lege and the largest popular

The showing made by John

there was no certainty tonight
he would receive the electoral

stroyed a good part OF the
business section here this aft
ernoon. In the absence of a

ment was helpless and the

Mercantile store, the offices of Drs. y.
e. Knox, Justice of the Peace ]. A.
Thomas and G, ii. Manning were de-
streyed. The explosion of the dynamite
wrecked the Ray store, Blacks shoe

saved.

damage to the men having offices in
the building Is undetermined.
Cordoya Responds
Emergency calls were sent to the Biz

Cordova sent one truck down, but it
was unable to be of service because of
the lack of water. The city well is low
due to the drought.
Windows In all nearby buildings, in
Guiding the depot, were shattered by the
dynamite explosion. As a result it was
necessary to keep guards at all the
stores tonight. The bank and other bust
ness houses in another block were not
damaged.

FRANCO-CERMAN
STEEL MERGER
Is COMPLETED
Ruhr And Lorraine Prod
ucts Put On Pre-War
Basis
BY ARNO DOSCH.FLEUROT
(By Leased Wire To The Age-Hera1d)

PARIS, Nov. 5.-The long
discussed Franco-G German steel and
coal combine has been completed after
fortnight's negotiations. Under the
agreement reached, Franco-German
steel rails will dominate the world
market. American and British manu-
facturers will not be able to touch the
combines prices.
The basis Of the agreement, l learn
from interested parties, Is a special
price on Ruhr coke sent into Lorraine,
the Saare and Luxembourg where half
finished steel products will be made
under combination of cheap ore, cheap
labor and cheap fuel.
The half-finished articles will be re-
turned to Germany for completion and
tween Lorraine steel and Ruhr coal
will be as close as it was before the
war when Germany owned both.
Wendell Signs
Hubert de Wendell, acting for the
Comite Des FORCES, organization of the
big French iron masters and August
Thyssen and Albert Voegler, represent
ing the Ruhr industrialists, themselves
two of the largest, concluded the agree
ment. De Wendell obtained the con-
sent of the French government to close
the deal
The government stipulates only that
execution of the agreement shall wait
on a conclusion of a Franco German
commercial treaty.
So de Wendell has issued n formal
denial that the negotiations have re-
suited in agreement now, but there is
no doubt of it, and it will be the basis
of the commercial treaty. So the agree
ment being settled, the treaty itself is
established in principle.
The British steelmakers, knowing
the details of the agreement have de-
clared they refused to enter the combine
and make it general European union,
on the price basis which de Wendell
and Thyssen offered.
Government Concerned
Fearing n steel fight between the
British and the new combine, the
French government is becoming con-
cerned. A high political parsonage told
me that Premier Herriot has warned
the principals he will not permit any
Franco-German combine which will
annoy Great Britain or America. The
Morgan loan to France is still to be
settled and discussion of interallied
debts is expected soon.
Prime Minister Baldwin of England,
himself one of the leading steel mag
mates OF the country, understands that
cheap Franco-German steel will increase
the already large number of British
unemployed. To prevent clash with
British interests the French finance
minister, Clementel himself, is supervis-
ing the LORRAINE. Rnhr deal.

PARIS, Nov. Great satisfaction

BOY EMPEROR
OF MANCHU LINE
QUITS PALACE
Christian Gel. raj Sends
Police Chief For Abdi-
cation Papers
Ceased Wire to The Age HeraIdl

PEKIN, Nov. 5.-Eighteen- year'old
P'U-yi, boy-emperor of the Manchus
and last of the great pure dynasty" as
his modest forbears chose to designate
themselves, has relinquished his rank,
property and perquisites at the demand
of an upstart Christian general who
thought so little of the last of the Man
chu line that he sent lowly police
chief to obtain the abdication.
P'u-pi is no stranger to the process
of relinquishing bIrthrights. In 1912
when the republican era was beginning
for the Celestial empire, Young Pu
surrendered his position as en-
peror Of China which he had held for
four years while China struggled under
the evil influence of the Dowager-em-
press who combined the escapades of
Catherine of Russia with the admin
istrative blindness of a Bourbon.
CHIEF Enters
Lu Chung Ling, General Feng Yu
Hsiang's Pekin chief of police, entered
the sacred and hitherto unviolated pre-
cincts OF the imperial palace in the for
hidden city Wednesday and seized Young
Plu. He was taken to his father
house, where he will remain while Feng
obtains an inventory of his property,
all of which has been sequestered by the
republic.
No reason was given for the sudden
seizure of the boy-emper0r.
1t is generally believed that Feng and
his Ally Chang Tso Lin, who now con-
troll Manchuria and the area around
Pekin, feared that the defeated troops of
General WI Flu might seek to rally
China to a tardy defense of P'u, who
has been a prisoner in the forbidden
city since 1922
Smiles And Signs
P'u smiled as he placed his graphic
signature on the articles of abdicati0n.
His long imprisonment it at an end. He
said he was glad to lose his last titles
and that now he hoped to travel-per-
haps to visit England and America.
Feng has agreed to continue an an
nuity of approximately $250000 to P'u.
When the boy was abdicated in 1912
he retained the title as emperor of the
Manchu imperial house, which was to
lapse at his death. He also was permit
ted to keep large real estate holdings
and other property which has been ac-
cumlated by his ancestors since 1914,
when the first Manchu assembled the
| throne.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Nov. 5.-Despite
the indicated republican majority of 90
600 or more In the presidential and SEN

his conviction that ''the final recapitula-

YONKERS, N. Y, Nov. 5.-Mrs.

First Unitarian church of Yonkers, said
tonight that she felt tremendously re-
lieved," because her brother was not
elected president.
1T has not been any special strain"
she said, although we all have been
anxious for fear he would be elected
and have to serve four years in that
very grave and difficult position. 1t
is an honor, certainly, to be head of
a nation, but there are other things
to be considered. We all were hopiAg
that it would not come to pass.
''Of course I voted for him-all the
members of the family did, but simply
because he was in the race. 1 can
gladly reiteratc that we are enormously
relieved"
