European Capitals Receive Various Reports
 No Confirmation

LONDON, Nov. 22.-Reports of serious disturbances in Soviet Rus sia persisted today in Capitals in Europe despite repeated denials from the Russian spokesman.
 The most important report is contained in a dispatch from Riga, Latvia, that Stalin, Secretary Gen. eral of the Communist Party, was murdered in Moscow yesterday.
 The official Soviet News Agency denied this and said reports were made to distract public attention from the forthcoming trial of eight alleged counter revolutionists.
 Reports from Moscow are few today except for unimportant items handed out by the official Agency and did net relate to rumors which had been queried.
 Reports of disorders, said to have evaded censorship, and of two muSinies are reported. One report came from Leningraa and the ott he from Kronstad where officers of the gunboat Vor- kow are said to be in irons.
 Telephonic inquiries from Fin land and Germany during the night brought reports denying disorders.
 The Finnish Minister reported he had walked the streets of Moscow and had not seen nor heard of any disorders.
 The Germans were less successful in making connections with Mos COW. other than by radio, but re- ported denial of rumors.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 22.- The new Brazilian government will give short shift to Communists. All Red agents seized instigating or participating in riots are to be shot, Police Commissioner Baptista Luz ardo announced.
 In this manner the government plans to suppress the Communist disturbances that have occurred in the capital during the past. While none of them have so far resulted in serious outbreaks, it is thought the announcement will forestall and program of violence the Com munists may have in mind.

TRUTH IS VITAL IN ADVERTISING, SAYS PRESIDENT
Good Will of Public Must Be Maintain ed,
 Hoover Asserts

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 22.- President Hoover told the Associa- tion of National Advertisers that if the good will of the public toward them is to be maintained the de- sire created through advertising must be satisfied by the article sold.
 "The good will of the public to- ward the producer, the goods or the service is the essential of sound advertising, for no business succeeds upon the sale of an article once" he said in a speech before the twen- ty-first annual meeting of the group.
 Advertising Held Vital
 The text of President Hoovers address follows.
 Tt gives me great pleasure to ex- tend greetings to you upon your as- sembly in Washington. Advertising is one of the vital organs of our entire economic and social system.
 "The purpose of advertising is to create desire, and from the tor ments of desire there at once emerges additional demand. From enlarged. diffuses of articles and service you oh apen costs and thereby you are part of the dy- mamie force which creates higher standards of living.
 Truth Essential
 "The very importance of the po- sition which advertising has risen to occupy in the economic system is in direct proportion to the ability of people to depend upon the pro pity of the statements you present The advertising executive and the medium through which he advertis- es must see to 1t that the desire you create is satisfied by the ar ticle recommended. The good will of the public toward the producer, the goods. or the service is the es- sentlal of sound advertising-for no business succeeds upon the sale of an article once.
 You have recognized that re- spensibility, the better business bu- reau and the vigilance agencies which you have set up to safef uard the general reputation of advertis- ing are not only sound ethics, but sound business. I wish you success in your convention and in the pur- poses for which you are assembled" "

FIGHT ON UNDERWORLD

NEW YORK CITY, N. r., Nov 22-Complaints indicating racke- teers obtain millions of dollars an- nually in preying activities ranging from funeral processions to the corner golf courses were before the authorities today in an onslaught on the underworld.
 After receiving fifty statements in which testimony was made re- garding fifteen rackets in the city District Attorney Grain said:
 Ut appears that racketeers have got their hands on everything from the cradle to the grave, from babies milk to the funeral coaches.
 On the basis of one complaint, the District Attorney estimates that gangdom shakes down annually from consignees on water and rail shipments at least $5,000,000, levying three cents a hundred weight on all goods delivered to every pier in the city dominated by the gangs except the United Fruit Line, Grain said.

pion, and Pennington Miller
Jones played the treacherous
third hole of the st. Adams course
in the Metropolitan amateur final
last Saturday. 1t was without
doubt one of the rarest pairs Of
SIS ever seen on a course.
Miller-JoneS led off by pushing
his drive off into the rough be-
meath the trees. Mccarthy pro
ceeded to hit a high hook that
scared over the trees and into
trouble. Miller-Jones esSayed q
safe out and then hoisted a high
pitch that completely missed the
green.
Thinking he had a shot to
spare, Mccarthy tried to carry
the trees with a full mashie. The
ball hit the uppermoSt limb and
dropped down almost against the
tree trunk. He had to play safe.
From this point he laid a niblick
shot five feet from the hole. He
looked a certain winner, but his
opponent, with shrewdly judged
run-up, bounced the ball against
the side of the green and onto
the putting carpet. Here he
holed his 12-footer. So did Nc.

nary IS ever scored on this hole

British Title Contender in

New York. Oct. 11-R1-Jack lKid)
Berg, British perpetual motion ma
chine, has atoned partially at least
for the one bad setback of his boxing
career.
Two years ago Berg was stopped in
five rounds by Billy Petrolle. the
Fargo Express, and later Petrolle held
him to a draw. Last night Berg
poured in a never lending stream Of
punches to Petrolle's face and body
to win a clean decision in 10 rounds
Of spectacular milling in Madison
Square Garden, and thus again re-
venge for his earlier setback.
Petrolle, q dangerous puncher,
gave the British lightweight lots of
trouble all the way but he tired badly
in the closing rounds to let Berg gall
lop off with the decision. There we're
no knockouts.
Berg weighed 1854 pounds; Pc
