STU ALTON is DIFFICULT.
Formation of Strong Cabinet COmbi-
nation Appears Impossible.

BY Gable to The star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS October %. - President
Doumergue spent the morning today
consulting leaders of political parties.
but so far no decision has been reach
ed regarding the new cabinet. 1t is
believed by some politicians that
Premier Painleve will be asked to
form a new cabinet in which he will
be finance minister and NJ. Ossola.
present underseCretary of war, will
become war minister.
Such combination, however. would
be only temporary. since the Socialist
ma jority in the Chamber. which is
insisting upon u capital levy az the
only solution of the present grave
financial crisis. will oust Painleve and
force Doumergue to ask EdOuard Her
riot to form a purely Socialist cabinet.
In order to enable the treasury TO
meet immediate obligations the Social
lists propose, first, to deduct 10 per
cent from the value of each bank note
and to perform this operation by fore
ing holders to present the notes to
the treasury and have them stamped
and, second, to deduct from 3 to 10
per cent from the value of war loans
presented for refunding.
Outside of these immediate measures
the Socialists propose capital levy
as follows: Ten per cent on real
estate, 10 to - per cent of the capital
of French companies and shares is
sued in France, 10 per cent of the
capital of all commercial and in
dustrial corporations, 10 per cent of
foreign bonds. 10 per cent on luXuries
such as pearls, diamonds. paintings,
antiques and furs, and forced con
version of all state bonds.
This plan is violently opposed by
members of democratic parties.

BY the Associated Press.


PARIS. October 2S.-President
Doumergue today summoned Premier
Painleve to ask him TO form a new
cabinet in succession to the one which
resigned Yesterday.
Considerable doubt is expressed
whether NJ. Painleve will accept. He
is understood to have told friends he

choose former Premier Herriot in his
place.
NJ. Painleve told President Dou-
mergue he would consult with his
friends and the party leaders before
definitely accepting the task of form

Former Premier HerIiot has support
for the post but in view of the fact
that he was defeated six months ago
by the Senate on the very question OF

TO accept.

SNOW BLANKETS MIDWEST.
Falling Temperatures Come With
Storm in Many Centers.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 2S.-Under
blanket of snow, the Midwest and
Rocky Mountain region today faced
the prospect of continued low tenn
peratures, with cold wave in south
ern Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
The white covering, which broke
records in Milwaukee and endangered
the unharvested sugar beet crop in
Colorado, was nearly 10 inches thick
at Helena, Mont, and a half foot or
more in many sections of Iowa.
Accompanying the snowfall were
dropping temperatures, reaching 2
degrees above at Havre, Mont, the
coldest spot in the country yesterday,
and lowering around the freezing
mark in the corn belt region.
Kansas expected from Is to 20 de
grees above zero today and Omaha
looked for 90 degrees.
The low temperatures of northeast
ern Colorado caused business men and
school children to turn out in aiding
farmers efforts to save the beet crop,
valued at 100000.
Some reaction will set in tomorrow,
1t was forecast, in the northern Rocky
Mountain region and northwestern
plains area, moving eastward to the
western great lake region.
Chicago had relief from the flying
flakes today, but fresh northwesterly
winds and dropping mercury preserved
the inches of snow that fell last night.

Of gross misconduct, the suave former

his nonchalance was inSinCere or

in answer.

LEAGUE GIVEN PLEDGE.
Is Apprised of Greek and Bulgarian
Accession to Ukase.

PARIS. October IS CP).-Greece an
nounced at todays meeting of The
League of Nations council that she
had given orders for her troops IN
Bulgarian territory to retire behind
her own frontier. She assured the
council that complete evacuation or
Bulgaria would be carried out within
the 6O-hour limit laid down by the
council.
The plans of the council TO dis
match a special commission to the
Balkans to investigate and report on
responsibility for the Greco bulgarian
conflict embody no tenporizing by the
league or any weakening in its deter
mination to force a settlement on the
parties to the dispute.
The Bulgarians and Greeks have
started making arrangements for the
evacuation OF the territory they have
occupied in obedience TO the com
mand of the council OF the league.
But, nevertheless, advices from SOMA
and Vienna are to the effect that the
Greeks at noon on Tuesday had not
ceased firing INTO Bulgarian territory.

harmony with the policy of the league
to appoint impartial persons to con

this was the designation of a specla

HESSE T|GHTENS
RUM BOND RULES
Would Cut FOrfeitureS in Liu.
uor Arrest Cases With
Heavy Bail.

An order fixing more stringent
rules for the release of persons ar
rested for violations of the prohibition
law and for certain other serious Of
lenses was issued TO police stations
today by Maj. Edwin Is. HeSse. super
intendent.
The purpose of the order Maj.
Hesse declared. is to require collateral
or bond in such amounts as will re-
duce the number of instances in which
those arrested forfeit. The effect of
the rules, he believed, will be to get
more of these cases into court.
The superintendent explained that
even if a person forfeits collateral at
the present time the court can issue
an attachment and have the de-
fendant brought in. but he is of the
opinion that a general order tighten
ing up on the amounts of collateral
and bond to be accepted will tend to
eliminate the necessity for obtaining
attachments.
Maj. Hesse's Order.
Mai HeSSe'S order reads.
Members of the Metropolitan Po
lice force are hereby directed to take
cognizance of and carry into effect
the following order:
U For the release of all persons
arrested and charged with operating
a motor vehicle while under the in
fiuence of intoXicants or drugs, leav
ing the scene of an accident where

you will require a bond.
(2) Those charged with selling
liquor, manufacturing liquor for sale,
illegal possession of liquor, trans
porting the same illegally, and drink
ing in public. shall be required to
deposit collateral equal to the max
imum fine for the several offenses.
t3) In cases involving the charge
of leaving the scene of an accident
where property has been damaged,
second offenses Of violations of the
speed law, the carrying of concealed
weapons, and cases where the charge
is maintenance of a iisorderly house.
collateral equal to the maximum fine
under the law shall likewise be re-
quired.
The police chief explained that the
order will mean the depositing of not
less than $1,000 collateral for selling
liquor, not less than $500 for posses
sion of liquor and not less than 800
for. drinking in public.
At the present time there Is no gen.
eral rule which all stations follow in
such cases. In some instances the
amounts required in the past for these
offenses have been as high as those
fixed in the new order, but in other
instances smaller amounts have been
accepted. depending on the circum-
stances of each case.
