$500 NEGROES
BATTLE POLICE
Harlem Riot Is QueIIed by
Machine Gun Squads.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, July 23.-Special
squads patrolled Harlem, the center
of New York's Negro colony today,
after an hours riot Sunday night
in which $500 Negroes battled police
details.
Four patrolmen, center Of most of
the fighting, we're injured though
not seriously.
The trouble started, police said,
when Clarence Donald and two
other Negroes attempted to force
entrance into the home of Henry
ChabiS. Mrs. Chabis shouted for
police.
Traffic Patrolman Charles Kubeil
started chase and finally caught
Donald, who kicked the patrolman
in the abdomen. Kubeil fell and
Donald leaped upon him, the police
reports said. Patrolmen Irwin
Young, Herman De Stella and
Samuel McFadden appeared when
the Negro crowd surrounded the
fallen Donald.
A fight started. Fists and clubs
were used. Crockery was thrown.
Revolver shots rang out. Police say
they fired only into the air but that
shots were fired from nearby build
ings. The crowd of attackers grew
to $500 and became menacing until
special machine gun squads, num-
bering $50 men arrived and dis
persed the mob.
One Negro was arrested.

swimming. And until one can
swim both ways, exhaustion
threatens.
Breathing is one thing that is
different in the backhand stroke.
With the body on its back, the
head is almost out of the water
most Of the time.
But the regularity of breathing
should be maintained. The same
inhale, hold, exhale should be con-
tinued while the left arm goes out,
down and back and the right back,
up and forward.
Chance to Rest
One can seldom make the time
with this backhand stroke that the
regular crawl stroke makes. But,
if one feels strain or is Short
Winded, this is the way to relax
until the next wind arrives.
On our swim from Albany to New
York, we both used this back
stroke to catch up on energy and
wind. All Channel swimmers
know and value it.

OBREGON PARTY

BY GEsFORD F. FINE


MEXICO CITY, July 23.-The
strong party that General Alvaro
Obregon headed before he was as
sassinated-the same party that
controls the national Congress-will
support either President Plutarco
Gales or Governor Aaron Saenz of
Nuevo Leon State for provisional
President, it became known today.
Col. Ricardo Topete, leader of the
Obregon group and one of the for
mer Presidents closest friends, said:
Gales probably will be appointed
November 80 and will serve, pro-
visionally, two additional years"
Congress to Meet
Obregon's assassination last week
by Jose De Leon Toral had caused
confusion in Mexican political cir.
cles. General Obregon was reelected
to the presidency July /. He was
unopposed. Gales was the logical
choice, many believed, to succeed
to the presidency, but under MeXi-
can law a President may serve only
four years. However, he may be ap-
pointed provisional President and
still be within the letter of the law
"An extraordinary session of the
Congress is meeting July 20 to dis
cuss the presidential situation, bur
no action will be taken until the
regular session September l."
Topete said.
He said the Obregon party was
receiving rs per cent of the support
of the people.
Topete denied that the Obregon
party had asked President Gales to
force Luis Morones, minister of la
Dor; Celestina Gasca. head of the
Government Department of Fabrics,
and Eduardo Moeda, director of the
printing department, to resign.
Labor Party AsSaiIed
"Their designations were volun-
tary," Topete said.
The three resigned officers are
prominent in the labor party, and
Morones was said to be the most
active Of the party workers.
Morones also had been one of
Obregon's bitter political enemies.
Saturday the labor deputies, Soto
y Cana and Aurelio Manrique, ad
dressed a mass meeting and accused
the labor party with being the
psychological authors" to the as
sassination of the one armed Mex
lean war hero. They did not elab-
crate on the charges.
This led MoroneS and his two aids
to present their designations. In
their letter they said they believed
continuance of their holding gov
ernment posts would be an obstacle
to clearing up Obregon's assassina-
ton, but insisted strongly the labor
party had no connection with the
attack on the general.
Assassin Denies Aids
Meanwhile Cana and Manriqua
will be questioned today by Attorney
General Juan Correa Nieto, in
charge of prosecution in the Federal
district, in connection with the
charges they made against the la
Dor party.
Toral, the young confessed assas-
sin, continues in Jail as police and
authorities attempt to wind up the
questioning. They sought to learn
from Toral who, if any, his ac-
completes were. He has said re-
peatedly that he was aided by no
one and that he had killed Obregon
because Of religious motives.
The full complete report on the
case is expected this week after
which Toral and the ten persons ar
rested with him will be given civil
trials.

It is invaluable for long dis

Kicking is just the same time,
six kicks to a full crawl stroke.

Steady Increase in Deaths
Since Prohibition Shown
in u. S. Survey.
BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Deaths
from alcoholism in the United
States health registration area have
practically reached the number of
their prohibition peak, and are
increasing steadily by about 500
year.
The increase has been more than
four times since the first post-pro-
hibition year of 1920, such deaths
numbering 900 in that year and 4,100
in 1926.
Deaths from cirrhosis of the liver,
attributable to alcohol, show a slow
but steady increase since 1920, and
the 1926 total was 1881, which is
comparable with 8,799 for the high
est pre-prohibition year, 1916. The
lowest total recorded for 1920, was
6,241.
Sixteen Years Survey
The figures are from the vital
statistics division, Department Of
Commerce. They have not been
published before. They cover the
years 1910 to 1926 inclusive, for the
vital registration area of the
treaty, which now includes forty
five States.
In seven and one-half years be-
fore prohibition, there were 86,278
deaths from these causes. Com
parisons are made of States which
have been in the area continually
since 1910.
Deaths from alcoholism in these
States numbered $50 in 1920 and
1850 in 1926.
Near Record of 1914
Deaths from cirrhosis Of the liver
went from 4,274 in 1920 to 5,005
in 1926, against a high Of $500 in
1914.
Alcoholism totals alone were
1878 for the entire area in the
years since prohibition, and 24,112
for the years before prohibition.
Cirrhosis totals alone were 52,679
since prohibition and g., ,166 for the
same length of time before prohibi-

Figures for dc aths from alcohol

NICHOLSON GLAD
To SERVE CITY
Noted Author, Only Councilman,
Willing to Be That

INDIANAPOLIS. June 26-"There
are no unimportant political jobs. "
That is how Meredith Nicholson,
famed Hoosier author of 80 best sell
ers. feels about his first political post
member OF the Indianapolis city
council.
Councilman Nicholson came 10 his
position during the recent political
debaclu which caused six council
members, facing bribery charges, to
resign. He was one OF the candidates
chosen by various civic groups en-
gagged in community housekeeping,
and approval OF his appointment was
unanimous,
I'm really ashamed of any praise
FOR taking this council job says the
author OF The House of u Thousand
Candles" and The Port OF Missing
Men" II am merely doing what every
citizen ought to do when called 10 the
colors.
I'm not interested so much in
politics, as such, but in the results
that We can get in the way OF good
government
He holds no brief for the ''aloot
school" of artists, writers and critics,
The idea that professional lit
era,y men and artists are disGuali-
fed from taking active part in
governmental affairs because OF
their calling lis all bunk" Nicholson
asserts.
james Russell Lowell not only
took deep interest in the politics OF
this time and wrote the best essay
on Democracy that has ever been
written, but his campaign tracts
form a substantial part of American
literature.
Cites I>aiah's Case
Isaiah, way back i'll Bible times,
was not only the greatest literary
figure Of his day, but great states
man, whose every effort was bent
toward making his campaign slogan,
Save Israel a reality"
More modern times produced
D'Amunzio, soldier-poet-s tatesman
and Paderewski, pianist and Polish
premier, Nicholson pointed out.
What We need is to get the best
minds interested in government, y
the councilman continued. 1T used
to be that our best legal minds We're
attracted, but that no longer seems
10 be the case. Twenty-Five years ago
we sent our outstanding lawyers to
Congress, to the seRate and the
goVernorship. They were first-ratt
men in their profession.
Nov it would seem, at times. that
such men are not even wanted. EX-
amples can be cited in either great
party, such as the defeat of Charles
Evans Hughes and John W. Davit
for the presidency. Both are recog
nized as outstanding members Of the
legal profession.

as serving in war, but it is essential.
women have made a mistake in
alisning themselves with the regular
political organizations. They Sacri-
flee too much to become mere vice
/ chairmen, with a desk at state neuu-
quarters. The men run the business
from the back room and pay no at
tention TO the women, although they
may pretend TO do so.
Let them organize little non
partisan neighborhood groups of
their own and talk about the things
OF which they know. Eventually they
will be a power, taking the politics
out of the back rooms OF political
! headquarters and putting it into the
front rooms OF the homes.
Get the Committeeman
There is no more neglected figure
in party organization than the pre-
CmCt committeeman. Let the women
find out who these men are and If
they are fitted for their job. If not
and they cannot be removed, let the
women bolt and elect their own.
This would arouse the professionals
to the meaning Of these group gath
erings.
surely such things mean more
than shiny desk at headquarters
and opinions which no one takes
seriously"
Although Nicholson is the only
prominent author now holding pub
lie Office in the United States, the
tradition is not entirely new in In
diana.

member OF the Hoosier house OF
representatives, as We're Charles
Major, author of When knighthood

Thompson, author of Alice of Old

active interest in Indiana politics.
