cram option to turn in his certificate
now and receive the original settlement
value plus per cent interest, or to
hold it 10 maturity.
1t would cost about billion dollars
Garner commended, which, he said, the
Treasury could obtain by borrowing at
between 134 and Ia per cent.
81 doubt" he said, IF the Treasury
ever again will be able to secure money
at such a low rate for the discharge
of this obligation"
The Texan advanced his belief that
not more than so per cent of the vet

lease Of the sum represented by this
proportion would contribute materially
to restore ''the economic balance"

Oago Says, as Mayor, He
:: { Would Clean Up.

Bsths Associated Press.
: CHICAGO, December GA new
candidate for the Republican mayoralty
nomination, Judge John H. Lyle,
militant foe Of ganssters, was in the
race today with platform in which
he. promised to break up what he
tanned alliances between "crime and
politics" -~
Judge Lyle, who as a jurist on the
Municipal Court bench has gained
widespread publicity by his treatment
of-gangsters. will oppose Mayor Will
liam Hale Thompson, Charles v. Bar
rete, chairman Of the County Board of
Tax review, and any other candidates
who may enter the contest before the
February primary is held. Thompson
and Barrett already are in the race.
s Opposition May Focus.
The announcement from Judge Lyle
was made without awaiting the de-
cision of various political factions
which have been seeking a candidate
on whom they could unite in opposition
to Mayor Thompson. Neither did his
statement indicate whether he would
seek the support of these groups.
Among political leaders with whom
THOMPSON has broken is Bernard w.
Snow, chairman Of the Republican
Cook County Committee.
: Referring to Chicago gangsters and
their bands Of followers, Judge Lyle
said in his statement that it was
ridiculous to assume that all these
officers (Cook County, cannot sup
press and almost totally annihilate
mo candidate for mayor" he added,
scan hope for the votes Of the good
citizens unless he defines in unmistak-
able terms his position on the issue Of
Gyorcing crime from politics, and un-
less the language Of that declaration
accords With his record Of public service.
Responsibility on Mayor.
: II have hesitated because of the work
am already doing in the effort to
purge Chicago of the criminal gangs
that infeSt the city. The mayoralty
ONCE is the one spot in Chicago where
all the lines that touch crime and
racketeering converge. The mayor is
the law-enforcenent officer, charged
with responsibility for protecting lives,
pr0Derty and reputation of the citizens
He Is head Of the Police Department and
directs the prosecuting branch of the
city government. With this in mind,
and believing that as mayor I could
promptly and completely finish the
work that have been engaged in Dis
judge, have decided to become q can
didate."
Asserting he would give Chicago an
efacient Police Department, the judge
called attention To such ho0dluTng As
Capone and his underworld semi poll
tieiAn criminal allies" and declared
that with club In one hand and
gun I'm the other, of1c6Rs should run
them out Of every public building in

KIN HUBBARD DIES
OF HEART ATTACK
Creator of "Abe Martin" Be-
gan Career in Indiana as
Newspaper Man.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, December as
Kin Hubbard, humorist and creator Of
the character ABE Martin" died un-
expectedly early today.
Death was attributed to heart disease.
Mr. Hubbard was born in Bellefontaine,
Ohio He came to this city while q
young man and entered newspaper work
here.
In 1904 he created the character Of
ABE Martini" a mythical parsonage
whose habitat was the hills Of Brown
County, Ind.
ABE" has been a regular feature Of
the indianapolis News since his creation
and in recent years he had appeared in
a number Of other newspapers through
out the country.
Mr.. Hubbard Is survived by his widow,
Mrs josephine Hubbard; a son, Tom;
daughter, Virginia; a brother, Horace
K, and sister. Adah Hubbard. The
brother and sister both live at Belle
fontaine. He was the son of Thomas
and Sarah Hubbard. His father was
formerly postmaster at BeIIefontaine.
His death was unexpected. He was In
his office at the Indianapolis News on
Christmas eve. He failed to appear at
the Office yesterday, however. 1t was
the first time in many years that he
had missed a Christmas day at his
desk.
Mr.. Hubbard's full name was Frank
Mckinney Hubbard, but he preferred
the shorter name Of Kim He was a
close friend Of VIII Rogers and Chic
Sale
Mr.. Hubbard's death occurred at a
new home he had recently built here.
He was always reticent as to his age
and 1t was not until after his death
that even his close associates learned
that he was So years old.

in different light He explained to-
day That such fears were unnecessary,
in his opinion.
THE amendment simply gives the
commissioners the right to order such
bfllboards as they desire to keep main
tanned in a decent manner" he said.
They would have ample authority un-
der the bill to refuse permits as they
see fit"
AS Engineer Commissioner of the
District, the duty of regulating the
signboardS would come under Mai. Got
walls department He declared he be-
lieved public hearings would be unnec-
esSary and, from his viewpoint, unsat-
isfactory.
The Commissioners have never failed
TO receive complaints" he pointed out
and matters can easily be taken up
without the necessity of holding public
hearings"
Last January the Commissioners held
a public hearing to consider a proposed
Dill TO regulate outdoor advertising
signs. At that time the outdoor Ad-
yertlsers' Association Of the District of
Columbia and Maryland, the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, the
Washington Chamber of Commerce, the
Action Advertising Corporation, the
american Institute of Architects, the
Sign Painters Union and other organi-
Zatlons were represented. AS a result
OF this public hearing and several con-
lerences thereafter, the bill was intro
duced In Congress. The Senate District
Committee held a public hearing on
the Dill, at which no one voiced obiec-
ton. The bill then passed the Senate
without amendment, on April II. 1880.
Since being referred to the House
District Committee, however. the
amendments about which objections
are now raised have been proposed.
Omcers of the American Civic Associa-
ton have taken a firm stand on the
| question involving the right of public
hearings before any regulations are
adopted under the regulatory powers
| which the bill bestows upon the Com
mlsSioners. While believing the Com
misSioneTs would never seek to deny a
public hearing, If requested, they simply
ask that this privilege be stated In the
! law.
With only these two points of differ
ence. it appears likely that all interested
| parties would find some common ground.
Aside from these objections, the bill
meets with the full approval, it was
said, of all concerned in restricting the
use OF outdoor signs in the City of
| Washington. Whether such legislation
can be put through the House during
the present short session appeared
doubtful to some, although its chances
are said to be more favorable in view
Of the action already taken by the
Senate.
