Tuesday by Charles Cunningham,
president OF the Cameron for Sena-
tor" club.
Tentative plans which have been
under way to receive the senator
were rushed to completion Tuesday.
when Cunningham received tele-
gram from Cameron in which he
stated that he would arrive in the
city Saturday.
According to the press reports ema
mating from the many towns visited
by Senator Cameron on his present
tour of the state, he has been greet
ed everywhere by the largest crowds
ever known to turn out for any
candidate for office.
Three years ago the citizens of the
Florence-Casa Grande valley burned
Cameron in effigy because Of the ex-
travagant promises he had made them
regarding relief measures. the irate
citizens of the valley believing his
promises to be the idle promises of
an office seeker. Fhk
When Cameron re.entered the val
ley few days ago he was the recip-
lent of the greatest ovation in the
history of that section Of the state.
Each of his promises, though SEEM
ingly impossible of fulfillment, had
been made good, and the same bodies
of citizens who had burned him in
effigy were out to greet him as a
popular hero. %
In many cities visited by Cameron,
stores and business houses were
closed, at least for part Of the day,
in order to enable the entire popu-
lace to hear the man who has done
more for Arizona than has any other
individual legislator since statehood.
Word was received Tuesday that
all stores and business offices in
Yuma are to be closed today in cele-
bration of Cameron's appearance in
that city.
Cameron admits that powerful in
fluences are at work to defeat his
candidacy for reelection as United
States senator, but he has a record
of individual achievement eclipsed by
no legislator in the history OF the
country, and the enthusiasm extend

HANKOW Oct. 12.-(AP) )--IGxecu-
tion in the streets of WuchangNof some
northern soldiers charged with looting
marked the assumption control by the
Cantonese Red forces who had beseiged
the city more than 40 days. The de-
Tending northern troops are either
prisoners today or are fleeing disor-

civilians.
General Liu YuChun, who directed
the defense of the city, and Chen Kia-

CHICAGO GANGSTERS
GO INTO RETIREMENT
AFTER MONDAYS WAR

CHICAGO, Oct 12 (AP) = stole.
gangland silence tonight shrouded
the identity of the machine gunners
who yesterday moved down five men
as the latest gesture in the war of
exterm:nAtion between rival gang
factions for control of Chicago's liq-
uor traffic.
Every gangster went inIo retire.
ment leaving the police without a.
clue to the identity of the MEN who
operated a machine gun last night
from an apartment building window
opposite Holy Name cathedral on
North State street, killing "Hymie"
Weiss and Paddy Murray, leaders OF
one gang faction and woundng W.
w. OBrien, wel4 known criminal law
yer and two of Weiss associates.
1t was reported during the day
that the police had ferreted out the
hiding place of "Scarfare" Al Capone,
powerful leader of the faction oppos-
ing Weiss, and had questioned him.
The police, however, would not ad-
NIT this and Capone was not in cus1
tody. Law enforcement authorities
were trying to answer two ques-
tions: "Who did the shooting? What
was the motive?"
They were confident that it was
the result of some ramification of the
two year gang feud but frankly ad-
mitted they were unable to find a
trace of the slayers and were like,
wise powerless to stop re-opening
of the machine gun battle which they
believe imminent.
A L.
inquiry into yesterdays slaughter,
viewing the bodies of the TWO VIC
tins and hearing statements of re-
latives. The inquiry was tAen con-
tinued to give time for further in
vestigation but no one connected
| with the coroner's office offered any
hope that the jury could 90 more
than return an open verdict.
All law enforcement officials were
Unanimous in the opinion that gang
land itself knew the Identity of the
killers. They explained, however
that the gangsters settled their diff
ferences outside the law and added
that even if they were able to find
lieutenants of Weiss faction VINO
knew the identity of the slayers
they did not expect to obtain any
information from them.
The police, said today that they
I are as powerless to find the specific
assailants of Weiss and his com
Danions as captain of infantry woulc
be to name the gunners who moved
down his men across the wastes OF
30 mans land.
Everything humanity possible ha:
been DONE" said Morgan A. Collins
superintendent of police. "Of coursC
we will do everything we can tt
find the murderers, but THIS Trims
has gone too far to be stamped ou
over night"
O'Brien and the other two woundet
/ men rested at hospitals. All prob
ably will recover.
Yesterday was the fifth time OF
, record here that the machine gul
has been employed as a gang wea
, pom. It's employment was an innova
