CLASHES DISRUPT
| MEXICO ELECTION
Casualties Placed at 1870
7 Dead in Vera Cruz-Portes
{ Gil Orders Inquiry.

BY the Associated Press.
Z MEXICO CITY, September 25-Press
dispatches yesterday from the State OF
Vera Cruz, where first serious fight
ing of the rebellion last Spring broke
out. told of serious clashes IN con-
nection with the municipal elections
of last Sunday.
The correspondent of La Prensa at
Jalapa, the capital. placed the casual
tiles at 1870 dead and several hundred
wounded. Other newspapers told OF
violent encounters in Orizaba, Cordoba
and the city of Vera Cruz, but made
no estimate of the casualties.
{ Battles were said to have developed
around election booths in Vera Cruz
and some of them changed hands sew
eral times at the point of revolvers:
Cordoba dispatches said rival political
groups used stones, clubs, pistols ana
knives.
Several fights Of minor proportions oc-
Cured in other cities and towns.
& Cordoba dispatches to Ell Universal
Grafico said the series of clashes there
caused numerous deaths and that the
elections could not be carried out be-
cause all polling places were held by one
party or the other and their opponents
did not dare to appear.
: Women participated in the fighting,
several being killed and wounded.
: Reports of discomfort over the politi-
cal situation in the State of Vera Cruz
had drifted into this capital some time
prior to the elections. Opponents of
Gov. Adalberto Teieda complained that
he was seeking to install Communist
administrations in cities and towns and
to Dust administrations which had re-
manned loyal to the government during
the Spring instruction.
! Charges Are Denied.
The governor. who during the revo-
luton refused to join the rebels and
barely escaped from Vera Cruz with his
life. said that these charges were
ridiculous, although he is generally
credited with communistic tendencies.
The political situation is exactly the
contrary in the State Of Durango, where
Gov. BeniteZ TerroneS. an avowed
enemy of Communism, is waging Bit
ter campaign against it.
Complaints from Communists have
come to the capital as regularly from
Durango as complaints from anti-Com-
n1uniStS flow in from Vera Cruz.
these disturbances had any connection
the country in connection with the
presidential campaign President Emilio
Portcs Gil has ordered immediate and
impartial investigation of these.
Acting Secretary of the Interior
sCanales said last night he had no con-
5firmatio nof the newspaper estimates of
casualties in Vera Cruz, but was inclined
ito think them exaggerated.

GREAT SALMON RUN UNDERWAY
 KODIAK ISLAND
DISTRICT SHOULD PRODUCE BETTER THAN HALF
 MILLION, SEASON

KODIAK, July B. Special to the Gateway)-Jubilation reigns at Kodiak as thousands of sal mon continue to pour into the chutes of the Kodiak Fisheries cannery here where gloom was so prevalent last season.
 The cannery tender Minnie B and Freda come in daily laden to the 'gunnels' and the plant huns with activity with a large force of men, women, girls and boys extremely busy putting up the succulent tidbit of the sea.
 Seventeen thousand cases is the pack here to date and the in dications are that the record for the season vii be better than for several years past. To date this season far outshines last season and since Kodiak lives mostly from the sea feeling of ell-being permeats the atmo- sphere.
 Reports are not available from the other IS canneries included in what might be called the Ko- diak district. At Three Saints Bay the runs seem to be good while on the other side of the island at Karluk it does not ap- pear so good. However, according to Max Kreilsheimer, heaviest Stockhold- CT in the Kodiak Fisheries here as we'll as canneries at Shear water, who was recent visitor here after a trip around the island, the district should produce better than half a million cases this season. MT. Sparen, superinten- dent of the local plant is also pleased with the outlook.

A jury early this morning returned a yer. dict upholding Inman's sensational charges that his wife abandoned herself to liquor and other men.
 Mrs. Inman contested the divorce and asked that she be given the decree and 3250,0O0 alimony. Under the verdict, Mrs. Inman will receive an annual allowance of 315,000 for five years. This was in accordance with a separation agreement made two years ago.
 The decision, which came after six end three weeks of sensational tes- timony during which Inman. a son of Mrs. James B. Duke. widow of :he tobacco magnate. produced several witnesses who testified to his wife's participation in drinking parties and cscapades with other men.

FIRST EDITION PUBLISHED
 WITH HERALD'S NEW PRESS
 OFFICIALLY IN OPERATION
A Word to Herald
 Subscribers

When it becomes necessary to apologize to the public of the city the Herald hastens to do so, ana that occasion has arisen. Herald readers probably failed to get their papers at the usual time last evening, some of them may have blamed the boys. It was our fault-that is, it was the fault of the old press in the Herald building which was operated for the last time yesterday afternoon. The outfit must have a tempera- ment, if We may endow it with human qualities, and yesterday. when our new press was ready to run, it quit us cold and finally. That is why We were late and your boy was late.
 However, most of the boys are deserving of the greatest praise for their faithfulness to then trust. They waited on street cor ners and near the Herald plant in a wet. cold rain for the edition to be run off. It was an unpleas- ant night, but they stuck to their jobs manfully. Cuss JUS if you must, because your favorite paper was late, but praise the boy for bringing it at all.
