AYORA'S EXIT

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 80
QN.S). - Although President Isl
dro Ayora, Of Ecuador, placed his
"irrevocable" resignation before
Congress with a request for speedy
action, dispatches from Quito,
Ecuador capital, reported today
that the legislative body at a mid.
night session refused to accept the
resignation.
Information as to whether the
executive would reconsider was not
available.
According to the constitution of
Ecuador, the minister Of the in.
terror automatically assumes the
presidency upon death or with
draYal Of the incumbent execu.
tive. At present the post would
fall to Col. Carlos Guerrero, min
lister of war.
President Ayora, pressed to re-
main in office, insisted he is act
ing in the best interests of Ecua-
dor. That. he explained, made his
resignation "irrevocable."
Appointed by military junta in
1925, DR.. Aroya was constitution
ally elected in 1929. The arbitra-
ton Of the boundary question be-
tween Peru and Colombia occupied
much of his time.
Anxious to rehabilitate the coun-
try financially, DR.. Aroya shaped a
policy outlined largely at the ad-
vice of Prof. E. w. Kemmerer, OF
Princeton University.

FIND NEW CLUES
To CRATER

NEW YORK, Sept. 80 INSJ,
Information furnished Federal
authorities may lead to the reason
behind the strange disappearance
of Supreme Court Justice Joseph
F. Crater, investigators said to-
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Garrett HERS,
friends of the justice, furnished
the new clues, the nature of which
was not revealed.
Meanwhile further check was
to be made on the statement of
Miss Helen Murray, of Phillips
burg, N. j., an acquaintance of
the juriSt, that a man who said
he was Joseph F. Crater" called
at the pharmacy owned by her
family early in August, a few
days after he disappeared. Phil
lipsburg is across the Delaware
from Easton, Pa, where Justice
Crater was a student at Lafayette.
Miss Murray said the man Wis
tied the pharmacy about August
8. Miss Murray was quite sure
she was correct in her identified
ton of pictures Of Justice Crater.
It was also reported today that
Mrs. Crater was preparing to
leave her summer home at Bel

England Loses Brilliant
Mind With Birkenhead

lowing his eduaction at Birken-
head School, Wadham College and
oxford.
Holds Highest Post
It was not long before 'F. Els"
legal astuteness was appreciated
by the government, and in 1915
he was made solicitor general.
Soon after he was appointed attor-
ney general, the highest legal post
in Britain, and he held this distin-
guished position until 1919. From
that year until 1922 he was lord
high chancellor, and from 1924 to
1928, while the Conservative gov
ernment was in power, he sat in
the cabinet as secretary Of state
for India.
Lord Birkenhead entered the
World War with a volunteer regi-
ment, the Oxfordshire Yeomanry,
serving first in the trenches. He
earned rapid promotion, and
Britain found his genius more use
full at home, so he was recalled,
knighted and made attorney gen.
eral. To take this post he aban-
doned his private law practice,
which was estimated to net him
100000 a year, and he gave his
services to the nation until only
two years ago, when he retired
from craftsmanship to enter busi-
ness.

Dance Halls, Kinks
WdrrinU in London

= LONDON, Sept. 80 0N.SO.
War has broken out in the Lon
don entertainment world. The
battle-ground is the ice-rinks and
dance-halls of the capital, and the
issue to be decided is whether
ice-skating is good or bad for
the health of the skater.
Say the dance-hall proprietors:
Girls who value their appearance
should beware of thickening an.
kles through ice-skating.
To which the ice-drome people
retort:: Ice-skating is far healthier
than dancing in the overheared
atmosphere of a ballroom.
And there the matter rests at
the moment while the opponents
think up a few statements for
and against.
