STINGY MAYOR GIVEN
DOSE OF OWN MEDICINE
Toxic Executive, Who Demanded
Rigid Municipal Econ omy, SUI
fers Cut in Salary.

Zenjiro Horikiri, Is, second youngest
man ever to hold the position Of mayor
Of Toxic, believes In the motto. "Char-
ity Begins at Home" when It comes
to the matter of municipal reform.
With his election two months ago he
announced that he would start an Active
campaign Of reform. Principal among
his many projects was to cut down ali
unnecessary expenses. It has always
been the custom for q new mayor to
call on each Of the 90 members of the
city assembly shortly after his election
The mayor is elected by this body and
he Is supposed to show his appreciation
Not only must he call, but he must give
a series Of elaborate dinners to repay
the city fathers for their thoughtful
ness in making him chief executive.
Mayor Horikirl had been In office only
a few days when he announced that he
would dispense with the calls and din
ners. He thanked the assembly, but
said they would see that he was sincere
by his future actions. and not by his
ability to preside at the festive board.
A few days later the assemblymen met
to AK the mayors salary. another of
their duties, and 1t did not take them
long to decide to cut his emolument
from $l2,500, which his predecessor re-
ceiyed. to $4,000.

OMAHA CITY, September 23.-Ran-
dali Pitman, county attorney Of Pot
tawatomie County, and Frank Fox,
former sheriff Of that county, Saturday
were indicted for alleged conspiracy to
violate the prohibition law, by the
Federal grand jury, which returned 102
true bills.
It was understood most Of these grew
out of a Government investigation of
liquor conspiracy in Pottawatomie
County.
After the grand jury was discharged,
Roy st. Lewis, United States district
attorney, announced he had started an
investigation of the killing of M. C.
Bice at Roxana Thursday night by Milo
Beck, a deputy sheriff Of Logan County.
Brice was to have been a witness before
the grand jury.
A similar investigation has been in
stituted into the shooting Of Mrs. Sadie

of Pete Kennedy. Kennedy and three
others charged with murder In connec-
ton with her death alleged that Mrs.

ed When Demand for Room
Meets Rebuff.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 23.-A cripple
with q pistol shot-up the Gem Theater,
a South State street burlesque house,
last night, wounding Charles Bell, 60
year-old doorman, so seriously that he
may die.
The man with the gun, Sam Porcaro.
was disarmed and captured by Lieut..
Kenneth r. Cox of the Detroit Police
Department, in Chicago to install a
radio call system.
Porcaro and a companion became
angered when the doorman told them
no main floor seats were available.
Porcaro grandished his cane, but Bell
brushed it aside. The cripple then drew
a revolver, firing six shots. Five en-
tered Bells body and the sixth struck
Edward Richard, waiting in line for a
ticket. Richards wound was slight.
Twenty chorus girls ran from the
theater to the street in their stage
costumes when the shooting began.
Lieut.. Cox, who was witnessing the
show, ran to the rear Of the theater,
knocked the smoking gun from Porcaros
hand and arrested him. Porcaro'S
companion fled.
The theater is located at $50 South
State street, in the center Of 1.-The little
White Way" where tiny, gaudy girl
shows" and picture houses are squeezed
between cheap hotels and small shops.
