THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ate loss of 100000 year, but by it
the commission expects the company
to win back patronage enough to
cover its losses. 1t is a reversal of
the old policy of raising fares to
meet declining profits.
The basic fare in the East Bay
cities was cents. The company,
claiming losses of $1,OOO,OOO a year,
demanded a 10-cent fare. The COM
mission countered with the order to
reduce fare to cents in the con-
gested> zone; establish a scent fare
over the entire lines in non-peak
hours between, 9 and 4:30; sell
weekly transferable passes for one
dollar, and make distinct improve
ments in speed and service.
Under the ruling a six-mile ride
is offered for cents that would
cost SO cents in the family auto.

MORNINGS ARE
GROWING COLD
MERCURY SHOWS

The mornings are growing
steadily cooler while the days are
as warm as ever. This is the de-
ductiOn arrived at by the Dis
patch reporter who interviewed
Jack O'COnner last evening and
secured from the local weather
student his thermometer readings
for the week.
Mr.. O'COnnOr calls attention to
the fact that both the evening
readings and those at noon are
very slightly different from those
of last week. The general average
however is lowered by the low
ness of the mercury in the morn
ings. The average temperature for
the week is 62 degrees. The read
ings taken morning noon and eve
ming from a thermometer placed
on the side of house where the
sun never strikes it are considered
very accurate.

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Nov. S QP) -
Alfredo Jauregui, chosen by lot
from four men convicted of the
murder ten years ago of former
President Jose Manuel PandO, was
executed today by firing squad.
The young Bolivian, who has
spent 10 of the 2S years of his
life in prison, was felled by eight
bullets. He died instantly. His
body was taken to nearby ceme-
terry for burial.
Protesting his innocence with al
most his last breath, young Juare-
gui claimed that neither he nor
the three men convicted with him
was guilty of the crime. His selec-
ton by lot to pay the penalty for
the four was due to a Bolivian
law which says that only one per-
son may be executed in punish
ment for a crime.
The three convicted with Jaure-
gui were his brother Juan, who

Sonora Gomez, in Los An

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 5 up - Five
weeks to the day after he left Mexico
City with General Francisco Serrano
to head an armed revolutionary at
tempt against the Gales government,
General Arnulfo Gomez has met the
fate which overlook Serrano within
two days. The body Of Gomez, cap
tured and executed Friday night in
the mountains of the state of Vera
Cruz, by General Escobar, command
ing the pursuing federal troops, will
reach Mexico City Sunday, and will
be buried probably in the same ceme-
terry as that of Serrano.
It now Develops. says an official
statement issued by the. presidential
office, announcing the capture and
execution of Gomez and his nephew,
Francisco Gomez Visearra, and the
capture of three other rebel officers,
who will probably be executed, that
the rebel leader had never been more
than about 90 miles from the noun
tain region around the town of Perote.
He went to this section when he left
Mexico City to carry out his revolu-
tionary plan which was to be put into
effect Sunday night, October 2.
The rebel forces were defeated and
routed on October 9, by federals under
EScobar, IN battle near Ayahualulco,
which is in the Perote region. This
defeat left Gomez with only a hand
full of followers, who divided into
groups of twos and threes and scat
tered through the mountains Since
October 10, the status of Gomez, ac-
cording to official federal informa-
ton, has been Mutually that of a
hunted mG6mtain bandit without fol-
lowers other tina ma few professional
mountain outlaws.
Gomez was captured by General Es-
cobar between the towns of Teocelo
and Ixhuacan, less than 20 miles from
the town of Perote, in Vera Cruz. This
still leaves at large in the Perote
mountains two other leaders, General
Hector Almada and General Francisco
Medina, who are being pursued by Es-
cobar's forces.
No details of the execution of Gomez
were transmitted in the message re-
ceived from General Escobar, but ii
was sufficiently plain to indicate that
Gomez had paid with his life for his
attempt.
Ell Universal, quoting official infor-
nation, says that General Adalbertc
Palacios, Francisco Mesa Perez, and
Salvador Castanos, whose bodies reach
ed the capital tonight, were executed
at Teocflo after summary court ms
tial.
