LOTTERY USED
TO DETERMINE
WHO MUST DIE
Four Men Convicted of Murder,
in BOlivia-Executi0n of
Only One Permitted
YOUNGEST GETS BALLOT
Date of Execution Will Be Set
Later by President Her.
mandO Siles

La Paz, Bolivia, Oct. 25.-(AP)-
In lottery to determine which of
four men should die for the murder,
10 years ago, of former President
Jose Manuel Pando, the youngest has
drawn q black ballot which sends
him before the firing squad.
Although four men were convict
ed Of the murder. Bolivian law per-
mits the execution Of only one, no
matter how many are implicated. To
determine the one who should pay
the penalty Of the law, a drawing
was held in the palace Of justice yes
terday.
Spent 10 Years in Prison
Fate decreed that the ballot should
fall to Alfredo Jauregui, who has
spent 10 of his 28 years in prison.
The others are Juan Jauregui, 33,
brother of Alfredo; Simon Choque,
a., and Nestos Villegas, 48.
Newspaper men selected the order
in which the four men should draw
their lots from the urn which con.
tanned three blank ballots and one
Dl6ck Ouee
Silence prevailed throughout the
court room. Juan Jauregui drew the
first ballot. It was blank. Villegas
drew the second, also blank. The
third to plunge his hand into the
urn was Choque. He drew forth a
blank. In the urn remained the one
which condemned it's holder to death.
Alfredo Jauregui reached into the
urn and pulled forth the fatal black
ballot.
Claims Innocence
He asked permission to speak.
Laughingly he said he was innocent.
However, he would not ask to be
pardoned, he said. He wanted, he
declared, to be executed SO that his
blood would stain the justice Of the
same public which protested the
murder Of General Pando. He re-
quested that the court make haste
with his execution to satisfy the
public.
As soon as the verdict became
known several women hurried to the
presidents palace to ask a pardon.
Tho date Of the execution is to be
set by President Hermando Siles.

TEMBLOR DOES

Seattle, Washington, Oct. 26.-
(AP)-Alaska congratulated itself
today on surviving an earthquake
of unusual intensity without loss
OF life and with but little damage.
The southeastern part OF the ter
ritory was given q vigorous shak-
ing about Z o'clock yesterday morn.
ing in a .eismic disturbance which
had its center in the ocean bottom
several hundred miles off the MAIN
land.
Force Dlmlnlshes
Tho temblor, which disrupted ca
bic communications, broke windows
and dishes and frightened residents
OF several towns, had diminished in
force by the time it struck the main.
land yesterday.
Had an earthquake OF such yio.
lence occurred in q region more
densely populated than Alaska,
seimologists pointed out, the loss Of
life undoubtedly would have been
heavy. The tremor was OF suffi.
cient force to put out OF commis-
sion seismographs in many parts Of
the United States.
A prediction by DR.. Thomas A.
Jaggar, director OF the Mount XII
lauea volcano laboratory on the
island OF Hawaii, that a tidal wave
would occur in Hawaiian waters q
few hours after the Alaskan earth.
quake had not materialized early
today.
News OF the quake, however, had
its effect on the Japanese fishermen
Of Hilo. Dispatches from there said
the fishermen, on hearing OF the
temblor, rushed into the outer har-
bor, spread their nets and brought
up whole boat loads OF strange,
deep-sea fish. They expressed the
belief that undersea heat incidental
to the disturbance had caused the
fish to seek higher and cooler water.
Cables Arc Broken
Residents rushed into the streets
Of Juneau, Alaska. when the first
shock was felt. Recurrent tremors
were felt for several minutes. Re-
ports OF the quake were received
from Sitka, kctchikan and Peters,
burg, all in southeastern Alaska,
and from Seward. mining town OF
northern British Columbia. Advices
from Petersburg said a cable near
Wrangell, SO miles away, had been
broken. A second break In the ca.
BILE occurred between Juneau and
Seward.
Cordova, several miles northwest
of Juneau, described the quake as
slight"
Belief that the shock was the re-
suit OF volcanic eruption along the
Alaska peninsula or the Aleutian
islands was given little credence
when reports from Seward and 9TH
or towns near the so-called volcano
region said no disturbance ha 1 been
felt.
In Seattle and Everett, Wash,
the water in swimming tanks was
said to have been dashed into small
waves coincident with the Alaska
quake.

OF BOOKS MAY
BE EPREVENTED
Court Asked to Issue Injunc-
tions Against Mayor ThOmp-
sons Bonfire

Chicago, Oct. 25.-(P)-Cold wa
ter, through the nozzle Of court in
functions, threatened today to douse
Mayor Thompson's promised bonfire
Of pro-British library books.
Two applications for injunctions
to rescue the literary brands from
the burning were filed, one by Ed
ward j. Bohac, which was to be
heard in circuit court today, the 9TH
er by J. kentner Elliott. Both act
cd as taxpayers, seeking to enjoin
the destruction of public property.
But there was one bonfire re-
ported last night, which, while not
much in the way Of display, was
regarded rs symbolic by those who
have endorsed the mayors america
first cndeavors. 1t was the private
burning by u. j. Hermann, library
trustee and the mayors agent in the
library investigation. of n copy of
Meilcr Schlessinger's American His
tory, which has been attacked as un-
American in some Of its sentiments.
Hermann bought the copy he de-
stroyed.
Not Encouraging
The mayors crusade against Bri-
tain-taintcd literature and against
pro-British teaching in the Chicago
public school system brought forth
Il concert Of circumstances yesterday
involving the library board, the
school board, the mayors field men
in the campaign, clergymcn and his
tdrians. For the most part the de-
velopments were not encouraging to
the mayors cause, yet there was
neither. pause nor slowing down at
the city hall.
One high spot Of the day was at
the offices Of the board Of educa-
tion where the trial of William Nc
Andrew, suspended superintendent
Of schools, was to have been re-
sumed. It was this trial, echo of
Mayor Thompson's campaign pledge
to rid the schools Of King Georges
stool pigeon" that kindled the fire
which now is tapping at tones in
the public library.
The board finally postponed the
hearing because Of the absence Of
the defendant, who was out Of town
filling speaking engagement.
There were sharp interchanges be-
tween counsel for McAndrew and for
the school board, the latter describ-
ing McAndrcw's absence as an "in-
suit
Gallery Laughs. and Kisses
The packed gallery at the board
meeting resorted to laughing and
kissing. President j. Lewis Coath
warned the spectators several times.
On ono occasion he informed then,
that the trial was mo vaudeville
show" and he met another burst Of
laughter with the remark that "well
behaved children are taught early
to radiate good manners"
When the boards counsel, Frank
Righeimer, inquired Of McAndrew's
counsel, A. r. Shannon, what could
be q more important engagement for
McAndrew than the scheduled hear
ing, Shannon replied: "Most any
thing might be more important than
this"

FALL KNEW OIL
DRAINAGE WAS
POSSIBILITY
Matter Was Brought to His
Attention in 1921, Witness
in Trial Says

Washington, Oct. 25.-(AP)-Pos-
sibility Of the drainage of the oil
from the northern part Of Teapot
Dome was brought to the attention
of Albert B. Fall as early as Octo-
ber, 1921; the defense brought out
today at the opening Of the seventh
day Of the oil conspiracy trial in the
District of Columbia supreme court.
Arthur D. Ambrose, former enl-
ploye of the interior department,
called originally as government
witness, gave this information to the
jury trying the former interior Sec
retary and Harry F. Sinclair on the
charge growing out of the lease of
naval oil reserve on April Z, 1922.
Under cross examination by
George p. Hoover, of counsel for the
oil operator, Ambrose said after he
had made visit to the west in the
late summer of 1921, he reported to
Fall that the SADDLE" in Teapot
Dome had been enormously located
and that part of the reserve was
susceptive of drainage by wells To-
Gated in the salt creek field to the
north.
Did Not Go Into Details
"At the time we did not 60 into
details Of the drainage" Ambrose
said, because the subject of drain
age had just come to our attention
and we were just beginning to give
it some thought"
The defense has laid stress on the
danger Of drainage making it neces-
sary to lease the field.
Referring to conference he had
with Fall in January, 1922, Ambrose
testified that II. Foster Balm, direc-
tor Of the bureau Of mines, had told
Fall that strip leasing" would not
be adequate to protect Teapot Dome.
Strip leasing, Ambrose explained,
was the leasing Of q small belt on
the northern edge Of the reserve.
Still replying to Hoover, Ambrose
said he told Fall that the leasing in
the Salt Greek field caused no i'm
mediate danger Of the drainage of
Teapot Dome, but that, as time went
on, the drainage would extend into
the reserve.
Drainage Not Pressing
AT that time drainage was not
Ambrose said, but pressed
further, he added that he told the
secretary that when the wells were
put down in the adjacent field, part
Of the naval reserve would be sub
ject to. drainage.
did you tell Fall that strip leas-
ing would Be ineffective?" Hoover
inquired.
"Yes," Ambrose replied. "Dr.
Balm and / were in agreement that
this would be only q temporary ex-
pedient; that double lines of wells
would have to be put down farther
and farther into the reserve"

tinuous performances until II p. m.
Hough explains that this change
in policy as related to the number
of shows will in no way affect the
Keith standard of vaudeville as
many Of the foremost names in
vaudeville. such as Blossom Seeley.
will be on the bills this season.
This change in policy is in eff
feet at the new Palace theater in
Cleveland, Ohio, and has met with
big success, according to Hough.
Under the new policy, the photo
play assumes important considera-
ton upon the Keith program.
Just as soon as the Stuart Walker
season ends on Sept. IL, decorators
will begin work redecorating the
theater.
A new large pipe organ has ar
rived and will be installed just as
soon as Stuart Walker vacates the
theater.
Sidney Jerome. who plays the role
Of the station master in THE Ghosts
Train" at English's this week, is of
the opinion that I was unfair" in
my review Of his work because I did
not explain the reasons why he was
not up in his lines last Sunday
night. He explains that he did not
get the part until Thursday night
of last week and that he had few
rehearSalS because he was doing four
shows at another theater. william
Hull was scheduled to play. the role,
but because he had so many effects
to attend to during the action of
the play, he found it impossible to
play the role and take care of the
effects. Jerome was not up in his
lines Sunday, but he corrected that
at once and was letter perfect the
rest of the week.
Have been asked 70 name the
three best shows so far that the
Stuart Walker company has given
this season. My selection would be
1.-THE Last of Mrs. Cheyney,
Charm" with Elizabeth Patterson,
and 1.-THE Enemy"
A patron who claims she goes to
English's every week writes me that
I should have given the new leading
woman with the Berkell Players a
good writeup." 1t was no fault Of
Miss Alba that she did not have
an opportunity in 1.-THE Ghost
Train" to show her talents. She did
not write the play. And I know that
I didn't. I took the position of re-
serving Judgment on Miss Alba until
saw her in plays by which could
Judge her ability. Such action on
my part is no reflection upon Miss
Alba.
