JAPANESE TAKE
 FORMOSA VILLAGE
hahebo Victory Regarded as
 Important Advance

Tokyo. Nov. 3 GP) - Newspapers today reported the capture of Ma hebo, central Formosan village, by Japanese troops, a victory regarded by authorities as one of the most important yet in the campaign to subjugate savage Taiyal tribesmen
 The village, a natural fortress. hemmed in by towering cliffs and deep gorges spanned only by sus- pension bridges which the aborigines destroyed. was taken yesterday press dispatches said, but the cap ture was not without cost to the Japanese. At least two officers were slain while advices failed to state the number of wounded.
 Mahebo was burned after its oc- equation by the military.
 Japanese forces exacted a heavy toll during the attack. which start ed Saturday. Early reports said at least 80 savages were killed and many more wounded. It was inn possible to estimate exactly the loss to the savages, however, as they car ried off their dead whenever pos sible.
 Further endorsements Of ar tillery and machine gun sections, in addition to 500 steel helmets. were being rushed to the Japanese front from Taihoku, seacoast town.
 An official report 10 the ministry of overseas affairs described a 'fes- tival of heads held by the savages at Mahebo Friday. There they piled up the heads of many of the S6 Japanese they killed in the up rising at Musha last week. dancing and chanting around the gruesome heap.

PARIS SKEP7LCAL OF GIBSON PLANS
Doubt Ambassador Will Get Far
 in Negotiations

Paris, Nov. , El-Some Paris cir cles are skeptical about the results to be expected from conversations of Hugh S. Gibson, American ambas2a- dor to Belgium, with French and Italian leaders with a view to bringing about a settlement of their naval differences
 Pertinax, French editor, in the Echo De Paris today said that it all seemed much ado about very little. Some other commentators and professed rchectors of French public opinion shared his view.
 PertinaX said that Ambacsa dor Gibson thought Italy would be satis- fled with a theoretical naval parity which would leave France a certain preponderance, but that. in fact, French experts who had that same view in August and September were soon undeceived.
 L'Oeuvre. the left party organ. shared PertinaX's pessimism. and said that Mr. Gibson had given the impression to persons he talked with in Paris that he had been complete ly misinformcd as to the Franco Italian negotiations.
 He concluded that it would be bet ter for France to study the possibili- ties of adhering to the Anglo-Ameri- n-Japanesc pact than to deludc herself regarding the highly precari- ous chances of a reasonable Franco Italian agreement.

 In all this Dr. Vargas newly ar rived from Sac Paulo and the Par ana-Sao Paulo border fighting front, was the central figure. He still lacked official title but his authority vas recognized. and it was felt as sured that some legal method would be found to place him in the office made vacant by the deposition Of Dr. Washington Luis.
 Luis Refuses to Quit
 The problem, however. was com- pllcated by the continued refusal of Dr. Luis to resign. He still is con- fined in the officers quarters of the Copacabana fortress and insists On serving out his term, which expires November 15. even though as pri5- oner. At that time Dr. Julio Prestes was scheduled to succeed him, bu- Dr. Prestes now is a refugee in the British consulate in Sac Paulo, and the revolutionary elements at least recognize Dr. Vargas, his opponent in the national elections, as having been elected in his stead.
 The train on which Vargas came to Rio, guarded by cowboy troops from Rio Grande Do Sul. arrived several hours late. An enormous crowd, anxious to see the revolu- tionary leader, met it and escorted Dr. Vargas to Cattete palace, which the military junta had invited him to occupy
 Planes scatter Confetti
 Shortly before nishtfall army air planes circled over the waiting crowds and scattered confetti. Tick CT tape was thrown from windows of the business district as the revo- lutionary leader was driven through the streets to the palace.

 Cities May Be Taken

Washington. Nov. LP)-Im- mediate repetition of the unemploy- ment census ;n selected key cities to obtain more accurate data on the number Of jobless in the United States is contemplated by the ad- ministration.
 Meantime, efforts 10 relieve unem- ployment are based on pure guess work so far as the number and dis tribution Of the idle are concerned. Secretary Of Commerce Lamont stated the case simply in an inter- view with the United Press.
 All Figures Are Guesses
 We haven't the figures, he said. Everyone is guessing.
 We are considering whether to attempt a further analysis Of figures obtained in the April census or 10 re-check those figures in selected areas Of several cities, probably six or eight. The list of cities has not been determined"

 unemployment but refers always 10 the situation in terms of employ ment, has issued some Illuminating figures as of October l. The data relates 10 manufacturing industries. The year 1926 is taken to represent par, an index Of 100.

RUM RUNNERS NOW
 kIDNAPERS, THEORY
Disappearance of Detroit Real
 Estate Man Being Probed

Detroit, Nov. tP)-The theory that downriver rum runners have turned to Kidnapping because of un- favorable conditions in the import ing" business was being investigated today by detectives in their search for Charles kaier, reputed wealthy retired real estate dealer, held since last Thursday night by kidnapers
 Inspector John Hoffman, head of the blackhand squad, said that with the passage of the Canadian law for bidding export Of liquor to the Unit ed States, rum runners have turned to shaking down. wealthy persons who for various reasons would not appeal to the law for protection. He said they found this less hazardous than running liquor across the river. Up to the past few days. however, threats rather than acts have been used to obtain money.
 Taken From Home
 kaier was taken from his home Thursday night by four men who posed as federal prohibition agents. One of them showed a badge and said they were taking kaier to the United States district attorneys of flee. Shortly after her husband left with the men. Mrs. Kaier received by telephone a demand for $1o000 ransom. She did not communicate with police but induced the kidnap- CTS to accept $2000.
 Detectives learned of the kidnap ing through unannounced sources and trailed Mrs. Kaier to hotel where she went to deliver the 5000. She waited several hours Saturday afternoon and night, but the kid uapers' agent failed to appear. Two detectives sat in the lobby near the woman and others were waiting in the street. Mrs. kaier went home hysterical and neighbors called po- lice.
 Wozniak Suspected Inspector Hoffman said that Jo- ceph (Peajacket) Wozniak, alleged rum runner indicted two years ago in connection with the bribing Of two score border customs patrolmeD, called at the Kaier home several times and finally was taken into custody for questioning. Entrance or Wozniall into the case led Hoff- man to believe Kaier was acquaint- cd with rum runners and is being held by them.
