KORE7z, PROMOTER,
 DIES IN PRISON
Lived Only Few Weeks After
 Sentence

Leo koret5, promoter of the Rayano oil bubble, who fleeced scores of friends and relatives out of millions of dollars, died last night in the state penitentiary here.
 The promoter, who for years con ducted his phantom financial ven lures so quietly and effectively that trusting relatives and friends begged him to take their money, declared when he went to prison a few weeks ago, that he did not eI- pect to come out alive. His death occurred at $40 o'clock.
 When Koretz was found last December in Halifax, N. S., he was suffering from diabetes and when he was returned to Chicago and pleaded guilty to charges of opera ting a confidence game, his condi- tion grew much worse. Doctors who examined him said it was doubtful If he could endure prison life.
 Insulin treatments were ineffec- tive. He lapsed into unconscious ness early yesterday and prison off cials summoned his three brothers from Chicago. They were with him when he died,
 Mrs. Koretz was unable to reach her husband before he died.
 Leo KoretZ fled from Chicago in December 1923, a few days before his Bsyano oil bubble burst and with him went a little black satchel containing s2,oOO,OoO in money and securities. Behind him he left 8 wife and two children in strained circumstances and scores of friends relatives and acquaintances minus the two million that he took with him.

BETTER AUTO ROADS
City of Rie de Janiero Has Become Oyercruwded With Taxis Because of the Installment Plan There.

Rio De Janeiro. Jan. 9.-since an entsrprising American concern start ed four years ago to sell automobiles to Ria de Janeiro chauffeurs on the installment plan, the city has become overcrowded with taxicabs. Of the. 5000 machines in the city, nearly 5000 operate for hire, and the own er-chauffeurs have constantly to work overtime to meet their pay ments.
 Relief, however, for the hard work ing drivers Is expected from another direction. At the present time the roads are so bad it Is impossible to drive more than four CT five miles outside the city with any comfort; hence long distance trips are un- known. A new and good road Is be- ing built to Metropolis, summer re- sort 30 miles away. and by the end of. 1925 there doubtless will be fine highway running from this city to Sac. Paulo, 250 miles to the west. These improved roads, 1t is believed, will make automobile riding so popu lar that thousands of new machines will have to be imported.

Coolidge Sees No Vital Points
 Raised in Memorial

Washington. April f. -, While awaiting a detailed analysis of its contents by state department experts before drafting, lis reply, President Coolidge, on the basis of a prelim- mary study Of the document believes the Peruvian memorial on the Tacna-Arica award has raised no point, as to safeguarding the pleb- iscite that is not already anticipated in the terms of the award.
 It is felt, with this preliminary opinion of the president and hs ad- NiseFs indicating to some extent the probable tenor of his reply, that the Peruvian arbitration representa-, ives will be assured by ,Mr. Coolidge; that the award was drawn with every de- termination to see 10 it that the plebiscite is a fair expression of pop ular will and that it already amply safeguards that purpose. The reply at the same time is expected to re- fleet the presidents sympathetic at titude toward the natural anxiety of Peru over the outcome of the pleb- iscite to determine the sovereignty Of the two provinces to which she has long asserted claim. ..

 LGSES BIG STAR
De ResZks Great Polish Actor
 and Singer, Dies
BY rha Assncla,sh Pre,.. !.

By The Associated Press. e., .-..
 Nice, France, April 4.---Jean de Reszke, considered one of the great, est tenor in the annals of the oper- atic stage, died at his villa last night after a short illness. Death was due to complications following an attack of influenza.
 Although in his seyenty-third year, de Reszke maintained all his varied interests in life, dividing his time between his house in Paris, his villa in Nice and an estate which. like Ignace Jan Paderewski, he pur- chased at Skrzydom, Poland. A man of wide intellectual culture, speaking several languages, he was fond of sports, notably tennis and horse. back riding. He even went in for breeding racehorses on moderate scale. .-.
 The singer came from a musical family. His brother Edouard, and his sister, Josephine, Baroness Kroneberg, both vd distinguished careers on the operatic stage. Jean made his first appearance in Drury Lane. London, at the age of 22 and the following year made his debut in Paris, arter which he toured the principal countries of Europe.
 Following a brilliant engagement at the Paris Opera lasting six years de Reszke resumed his tours and reached the zenith of his career in the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. Music critics considered that while equalling the best in Ital- ian tenons in purely vocal effects he surpassed them as an interpretatiye artist. His impersonatons of the leading Wagnerian characters were excellent.
 After retiring from the stage dc Reszke devoted himself to teaching pupils from all over the world.
