Republican Hits
Tariff Stand of
Opponents.
PUEBLO CROWD
is ENTHUSIASTIC
Confident Voters
Will Uphold Con.
tinued Prosperity.
BY REX COLLIER,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

ABOARD HOOVER SPECIAL
TRAIN, EN- ROUTE TO PALO
ALTO, November 3.-Herbert Hoo
yer headed across the Rockies to-
night after hurting a parting shot
at the tariff stand of the Demo-
cratic party and a warning against
substitution of confusion and
hesitation" for "sure and estab-
liShed progress.
In speaking before an enthusi-
aStic audience at Pueblo, Colo,
home of his campaign chairman,
Hubert Work, the Republican
nominee for President delivered
his last prepared address before
visible audience. Then he re-
sumed his flying cross continental
journey to voting precinct near
his home at Stanford University,
where he will cast his ballot next
Tuesday.
He enters the final lap of his
trip cheered by a forceful mes
sage of praise from President
Coolidge and confident that ma
jority of the American people on
election day will indicate their
choice of continued prosperity"
by returning him to Washington
few weeks hence as the Presi-
dent-elect of the United States.
Sends His Appreciation.
Plainly touched by the message of
support from the man whom he hopes
to succeed in the White House, Hoover
today wired his deep appreciation OF
the compliment and added:
ANY American would be proud OF
the statement you have made, and l
am sincerely grateful not only for 1t
but for the confidence and encourage
ment which you have given me in the
whole of the last seven years"
Hoover told his mountain supporters
tonight that the coming election pre-
sents to the voters the question OF
whether we shall leave the road OF
sure and established progress, or
whether the fundamental policies by
which America has come to the leader
ship of the world are to be halted while
we substitute a period OF confusion ana
hesitation in the completion OF the
gredC UhIlUl1dI Icoh Va Ai0AAle'AA HN''~N
ment."
"Our opponents advocate taking q
different route of progress from that
we are now travelling" he declared.
"They must do that. or they have no
reason for asking for support. The
first result of such departure is TO
destroy confidence in the future ana
confidence in that which is the. very
pavement of the road to progress
Urges Further Development.
There always is need for corrective
legislation and for constructive poll
cIes he said, but these improvements
IRE to be brought about mot by a
change in the policies which on the
whole are working extraordinarily Wen,
but by their further and consistent de-
velopment." e o,.
Roundly criticizing the tariff poll
cies of the Democratic party, Hoover
CHARGED that ain this whole debate, we
have not heard from any representative
of tile Democratic party the complete
acceptance of the term protective tarltr
as defined by the Republican party;
Bear in mind he said, that Wnen
the Underwood tariff law was enacted
bv the Democratic party 1t was de-
scribed by that party as a competltlVe
tariff, and through it all commodities
were reduced to such lack OF protection
that your industries were crippled or

TORTURED
HIM, T0RAL SAYS
0bregon's Slayer Dramati-
caIIy Conducts Own Defense
in Mexican Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN ANGEL, Mexico, November g.
Charges that he was tortured by the
police after his arrest in an effort to
force him to confess that .others we're
implicated in the Staying of President
elect Obregon we're made by Jose De
Leon -Toral at his trial today.
The assassin of the President-elect
told the Judge and jury that he was
tortured. the first time that this has
been charged publicly. He swore upon
cross-examination that he was hanged
by the thumbs, that his body was
stretched upon an irnprovised rack, and
that other horrible tortures" were
used, which he was able to endure %by
the grace God"
Says Body Was Stretched.
Toral said that he had never suffered
such intense pain as when mis- body was
hanging by his arms and feet in the
washroom of police headquarters. He
declared that he was then hung by his
thumbs. One thumb slipped from the
rope, and he was left hanging by the
other one.
He asserted that he was again hung
up with rope around his chest so
that he could scarcely breathe. He
then went into details of other tor
lures which he declared we're inflicted
upon him.
The police have always denied that
any torture was used in handling Toral
although he was severely beaten by
spectators after he had shot Gen.
Obregon.
Conducts Own Defense.
Toral practically became his own
defense attorney at today's session. He
argued with the prosecution attorney,
made an impromptu speech to the court
and drew a diagram illustrating how
the alleged torture was carried on. This
was passed among the jurors. Mean
while the defense attorneys sat silently
The defendant repeated that when
President Gales questioned him in jail
after the crime he told him. II swear
l acted alone. I did it so that Christ
the King might reign again in
Mexico
While arguing his own case, Toral
removed the microphone by which the
hearing was broadcast throughout Mex
leo from the judges desk and placed 1t
in front of himself, so that none of
his words would be lost over the radio.
Admits Killing Freely.
Answering cross-questions by the
prosecution, Toral said that he had
premeditatedly killed Obregon. who was
defenseless.
Correa Nieto. the prosecutor. declared
to the Judge that Toral's testimony yes
terday was less ample than his affidavit
made at police headquarters after the
shooting, the prosecutor asserting that
the testimony was carefully prepared for
the purpose of eliminating Mother Con-
cepcion, charged with completely, of
any responsibility.

WOMEN ATTACKED
WALKING IN Street
Two Found Injured, Third,
Seriously Hurt, Also Be-
Iieved Victim.

Two women we're attacked while
walking along the street and third was
found lying on the pavement, mysteri-
ously injured and perhaps also the
victim of an attack. within an hour
and half last night. All were taken
to hospitals.
The woman concerning whose injuries
the police are in doubt and whose con-
dition is reported to be serious is Miss
Lillian Funkhouser. 48 years old, of 2l1
C street, who was found lying on Second
street between Indiana avenue and D
street, about 8 o'clock bleeding from
lacerations of the head.
Miss Funkhouser. a clerk in the War
Department, was dazed and at Emer-
gency Hospital, where she was taken by
police of the sixth precinct. she was
unable to give any inkling to Lieut..
jeremiah Sullivan. as to what caused
her condition.
Felled by FoOtpad.
About 9:30 o'clock Miss Rena
Downing of 1855 Fourth street north
exist was passing the rectory of st.
Aloysius Church on I street, near
NortE Capitol, just after leaving the
church adjoining, when, according to
report by a spectator of whose iden-
tity the police are not certain, she was
felled by colored footpad, who was
struggling with her, when the COM
motion attracted the attention of the
witness passing on the opposite side of
the street.
The police had not located this witness
early this morning, but according to
residents of the vicinity. whose assist
ance he sought, this man raced across

ARCHEOLOGIST DIGS
IN PRAIRIE MOUNDS
Crawling" Village of Prehistoric
Indians Will Be Investi-
gated in Oklahoma.

POTEAU, Okla. (P).-CuStoms of a
prehistoric Indian race, that apparently
dwelt in crawling" villages, are to be
investigated by the Oklahoma Historical
Society in cooperation with the Smith
Sonian Institution.
Numerous mounds are found on the
prairies of Eastern Oklahoma, j. B
Thoburn. curator of the Oklahoma His
torical Society, and DR.. Leslie Spier
head of the department of anthropo!ogy
at the University of Oklahoma, plan to
excavate several of them at Spiro, near
the Arkansas State line.
Thoburn believes the mounds are
ruins of dwellings. They were built
with timber frameworks and earthen
roofs, he says, and as their interior
atmospheric condition was similar tC
that of a cave, the supporting timbers
decayed rapidly, eventually causing the
roofs to fall, then, the curator declares
new house would be built on the other
side of the village, causing it to move
progressively.
Excavations made by Thoburn support
his theory He has found six skeletons
in one mound, indicating occupants OF
a house perished when the roof collapsed
Thoburn believes the ruins are less
than 1000 years old and that the dwell
ers were members of the Caddoan race
which reached high state of civiliza-
ton in Mexico.
