FAMED INSURGENT
CAPTURED, RELIES
ON GIL'S new LAW
Mexican Credited With Two At
tempts to Kidnap U. S.
Ambassador Arrested

Mexico City. Dec. 28.-(R)-Maxi-
mlliano VigueraS. inSurgent leader
credited with two attempts to capture
United States Ambassador Dwight W.
Morrow, was under arrest today. He
was captured in the town of Chalco
and sent to Mexico City for trial in
compliance with the new ruling
against summary executions Of in
surgents.
Depradations laid to Viguelas have
so affected tourist travel that the ma
tional highway commission had Of
fered reward of 5000 pesos ($2,500)
for his capture.
VigueraS told newspapermen that
upon learning that President Portes
Gil had promised a fair trial for
everyone. including insurgents, which
he styles himself, he decided to sur
render. One of his own relatives, who
is lieutenant in the home guard at
the town Of Chalco, captured him, but
four companions succeeded in escap-
ing.
Vigueras added that he had been
an insurgent since 1910, fighting
against all governments. but that he
admired Portes Gil and wished to re-
turn to peaceful life.
Police announced that letters on
stationery of the League for Defense
Of Religious Liberty were found In
vigueras' pockets and that these In
structed him as to the manner In
which he was to carry on his CAM
paign against the government.

SEVERE FLU OUTBREAK LATE :.
IN WINTER SEEN BY SURGEON

Deaths in the 1918 wave Of influ-
enza were 100000 In excess Of the
normal number from the malady. and
In 1920 there were 100000 excess
deaths but In 1926 there were only
between 1900 and 10000. Indications
thus far have led Surgeon General
Cumming to believe that the mortal
ity this year may be greater than In
1926.
He agreed with the estimate by
public health officers that there were
approximately million and quarter
new cases In the United States during
the week ending December "a. This
estimate was based on 240662 cases
actually reported from all but seven
states.

tation to the legislature OF a recon-
mendation that sole management Of
the State Mill and Elevator continue
in the hands of the governor, is be-
lieved to be one Of Governor Walter

executive, it was learned here last
night.
Governor Maddox came here from

''Will you make any definite recon-
mcndations to the legislature, and II
so. what will they be?" the governor
was asked.
II went on record during the CAM
paign," he replied, las opposed to the
Independent Voters association pro-
posal to turn management Of the mill
over to a special commission. You
can use your own judgment as to

PARAGUAYAN STATES
BOLIVIAN ARMY HAS

Action Occurs at Point Where
Clash Precipitated Pres

CREATES GRAVE SITUATION
Bolivia Never Respects Rights
as Agreed in Pacts,' Says
Juan Ramirez

Washington, Dec. 28.-(P)-A note
advising the state department that
Bolivian troops had recaptured Fort
Vanguardia. where the clash occurred
on December s, (which precipitated
the present Bolivian-P -Paraguayan con-
troversy, and that Bolivian forces had
advanced IL miles into Paraguayan
territory. was transmitted to the state
department today by the Paraguayan
charge d'affaires. Juan Ramirez.
Paraguay In its communication to
its legation here said that "a very
grave situation has again been Gre
ated. because Paraguay alone cannot
avoid new fighting"
In making public the dispatch from
his government. DR.. Juan v. Ramirez,
charge d'affaires Of the Paraguyan le.
CATION, In statement declared: This
happening confirms the Paraguyan
contention, which has always been
held, that Bolivia never respects ter
ritorial rights as agreed upon in
pscts."
Coming at time when it seemed
that the danger Of war had been
averted. the latest development in the
long drawn out dispute was regarded
as ominous since the two armed
clashes that have taken place on the
border this month threw both coun-
tries into a high state OF excitement.
Diplomatic relations were severed and
Paraguay ordered mobilization OF
troops after fight near Fort Boque-
ron.

Chicago, Dec. 28.-(NEA)-A clown
who can neither laugh himself nor
make other people laugh at him isn't
much of a clown. So Happy Jimmy
Murphy, 51-year-old veteran Of circus
and theatre. is trying to get divorce
There's no obvious connection be-
tween those two statements. But Muir
ply, seeking to divorce his third wife
whom he married in 1924, says in his
petition that she has nagged him SO
much that he has lost his ability to
laugh-and, with 1t, his ability Ia
make others laugh. II he gets di-
vorce. he says. he'll be himself again
and all Will be well.
Murphy, who ran away from his
home in Streator, ILL.,, at the age of
to join circus. and who has appeared
in all parts OF the United States and
Europe. says that the hackneyed
laugh, clown, laugh" motif is all a
myth. A clown who is unhappy can't
succeed. he says. Hiding a broken
heart behind painted smile is all
right, except that the broken heart
won't stay hidden.
In the old days." said Murphy
you had to be able to entertain q
crowd all by yourself. I've had to
come out on the stage and keep 'enl
laughing for over half an hour
straight. A clown then had to be able
to sing, dance, do acrobatics and al
most be complete show alone. l
used to get $40 week for that, but
! was happier and had more money
than ever since.
There amt many of the old-timers
left who could do the leaps, sing,
and be in the concert. The ones now
adays just put on lot of makeup and
run around and think they are funny"
One of Murphy's prides is that he
taught Ben Turpin the rudiments Of
his art.
When Ben went into the movies
I had a chance to 60, too, but I
didn't, old fool that was" he says.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS
PREPARAT|ONFACES
HOOVER IN JANUARY
President Elect Will Make No
Cabinet Selections Until
After Conference
WILL IGNORE LEGISLATION
Calling Special Agricultural Re-
lief Session Depends on
Present Congress

Aboard U. S. S. Utah, Dec. 28-tP)
With the laborS of his presidential
campaign and his goodwill trip
through atin-America behind him
Herbert Hoover faces another stren-
uous period during the time which
remains before his inauguration.
The prcSident-elect has before him
no inconsiderable task. He has the
selection Of his cabinet. the mapping
of the policies of his administration
and the preparation of his inaugural
address. To write this address. one
of the most important of his career
which he will deliver at his inaugur-
alton March 4, Mr.. Hoover will 60
from Washington to Florida In the
middle Of January to take up his resi-
dence on the quiet Penny estate on an
Island near Miami.
While Mr.. Hoover has mapped out
this speech. in a general way, its
actual writing will require some time
as was demonstrated during his polit-
ical campaign. He likes to give his
full attention to the preparation of
an address.
Silent on Cabinet
Mr.. Hoover naturally has been CIV
ing his thoughts to his cabinet. but If
he has made any definite selections
he has kept them entirely to himself.
The president-elect himself has
stated that he will make no final
cabinet selections until he has had an
opportunity to confer with friends
and Republican party leaders after
his arrival in Washington.
To Ignore Legislation
It was reiterated today that MIR.
Hoover will make no effort during his
stay in the national capital to influ-
ence legislation pending before the
present session of congress and that
the calling of an extra session of the
new congress depends upon what the
present short session does especially
with respect to farm legislation.
The president-elect Is continuing to
rest aboard the Utah after his stren-
uous activities and arduous trips
through Central and South America.
The Utah Is still encountering fairly
heavy seas but rides them with lazy
motion that produces no discomfort
to Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover or members
of their party.

Wallace is the husband Of a bed

triangle which was formed by Wal
lace and Prosser in the quest for Mrs

lace. Wallace readily admitted firing
the bullet which resulted in Prosser'e
death Tuesday but claimed he
thought Prosser to be q prowler.
A post mortem which was complet-
ed Thursday showed that the bullet
had. entered prosser's right breast
and emerged just above the hip indi-
eating that he was In stopped posi-

CHOOSES TO FIGHT COUNT
Story Of Auto Suicide Remains
Unchanged Despite Nine
Hour CriIling

Canton, o., Dec. 28.-(R)-An affi-
davit charging Wilbur o. Heldman.
Lorain furnace salesman. with the
murder of his wife. Margaret. 81. on
the night of Dec. 13, was filed by
Coroner T. G. McQuate, today before
Justice of the Peace Donald NJ.
Smyth.
Heldman told authorities his wife
shot herself to death the night of
December l3 with the same gun she
had used just week previously to
end the life of Vernard E. Fearn, IS.
Canton coal dealer. Heldman had
obtained confession to the Fearn
Staying from his wife at their home
at Lorain earlier in the day and he
was bringing her to Canton to turn
her over to authorities. he said. Mrs.
Heldman'S death occurred in their
automobile just as they reached the
outskirts of Canton.
Ask Preliminary Hearing
In accordance with plans an
nounced by Attorney Frank N.
Sweitzer, counsel for Heldman, pre-
liminary hearing will be demanded
when the state will present its evi-
dence in support of the charge.
Filing OF the affidavit was in line
with wish expressed by Heldman
last Monday while being questioned
by Detective Ora NJ Slater and coun-
ty officials. At that time he was told
he would be permitted to make his
own choice between remaining in Jail
as a coroner's witness until after q
grand jury investigation or Of facing
murder charge. His decision was
in favor of the latter.
Heldman's account Of the manner
in which his wife met her death has
been subject of an intensive inquiry
in which every angle Of the story has
been closely checked.
Sticks ~ story
His story has remained unchanged
even after he had been subjected to
nine hours of grilling and after every
statement he made had been checked
for its accuracy.
Heldman has been in the county
Jail as coroner'S witness since the
night Of December Is, when he
brought the lifeless body of his wife
to a hospital with the account that
she had shot and killed herself.
Mrs. Heldman had confessed that
she killed Fearn. who was called to
the front porch of his home south of
here and shot six times by young
woman the evening Of December s,
