 Chicago. April g - tUP) = The change in municipal leadership which Chicagoans decreed by a rec ord shattering vote came about to- day with amazing swiftness as Mayor Elect Anton J. Cermak moved without ceremony into the city hall where Big Bill Thompson previous ly had ruled.
 It was a great day. and busy one, for Cermak. marking as it did the climax of his steady rise from immigrant boy and mine worker to the mayorship of the worlds fourth largest city.
 Leaders in the city's business. pro- fessional and church life declared it was as "big" a day for Chicago as 1t was for Cermak.
 One of the important things upon the new executive program for to- day was the official rendering of his resignation as president of the Cook County board.
 County Judge Edpond K. Jarecki said the board of election commis- sioners would announce early the of ficial vote of Tuesdays election. in which Big Bill. "the old master. was turned out of office by an unof- ficial vote of 667,529 to 475;61$.
 All that remained for Cermak to become mayor, in fact. after the votes were cast was for them to be counted officially and never in the history of Chicago was an cleo ton convass completed in such haste.
 The spirit of change ruled and there were no delays. Thompson

Chicago Changed Her Clothes To-day And
 New Regime Started
It Was One Great Day for Anton J. Ger mak and as We'll for the People of the Second Greatest City in Nation

and his followers joined in it and the movement away from the city hall was as amazing as that into it.
 The people have spoken" de- clared Big Bill with a smile. He announced he was leaving town im- mediately for a rest. Most of the members of his cabinet also an- nonnced they were going away.
 It was arranged to swear in new aldermen and other elected officials today. then to induct Cermak form- ally into office at o'clock this af- ternoon.
 A special meeting of the council composed of 30 demcrats and 20 republicans, was called for that hour so the new mayor could as- sume. active control, have his bono approved. and begin, in fact, the ad ministrative cleanup" which he sais would elevate Chicago to it's "propel place in the world"
 The new mayor last night named two of the men he will appoint tc ] his cabinet.
 Colonel Albert A. Sprague, he an. nounced. will be commissioner ot public works and Francis X. Busch VIII De corporation counsel, at least for 60 days.
 | These are the two most importan! positions in the cabinet. Both men held the same positions in the cabi- net of former Mayor William E. Dever. Cermak said he would ask Busch to remain in office for four years, but that Bush was unwilling to give up his private law practice for that long.
 Cermak made 1t plain he would turn out of office all members of the old Thompson cabinet.
 Tt is expected" he said, "that all bureau heads will have their res- ignation in by the time I take of- flee" None failed to take the hint and the great exodus" left the city hall practically bare.
 Ceremak announced that acting commissioner of police. John A. AL cock. would remain - for while He indicated he would select a new chief, but mentioned no names. In many quarters. the name of Pat Koch. the detective credited with solving the Lngle murder, was men toned. Until the new cabinet is completed. routine work will be handled by city employees who earned their positions through civil service and who will retain their posts. These employees practically had a holiday yesterday and today as the activities of the folks who were leav- ing in such hurry made work im- possible.
 A crew of movers and truck driv- CTS who carried out Big Bill's office equipment. including twelve tele- phones. posed outside the city hall while newspaper men took their pie lures. Crowds cheered.

ment Bureau does not attempt to set the prices of labor, but suggests the current city rate of 60 cents an hour would be fair.
 There Is then enumerated list of the jobs which can be given to these men such as :raking lawns, spadfng up the garden. planting gardens, trimming trees, and inside work on the house.
 The mutual aid employment bureau is located In the rectory of the old Immaculate Conception church on East Main street. There will be telephone exchange and the cooperation of all is earnestly requested.
 The work of aiding the under employed has been going on for the past few months, all working people contributing. An illustration of this is that the teachers contributed $70O monthly to the fund.
 Almost .$30O.000 was raised during the months the work was carried on and this has resulted in much improvement in city parks and roads

Worn Out Cars
 Highway Menace
Elimination Necessary Says Commissioner in Radio BuI-
 Ietin This Afternoon

"One of the outstanding problems in eliminating some of the menaces of the highway has been to find n way to satisfactorily replace worn cars,i said Commissioner of Motor Vehicles k. Stoeckel in statement read this afternoon from WTlC, The Travellers Station. Ut Is to be noted we say worn out and not old" :" the bulletin said for there are many old cars on the highways which have been maintained in satisfactory con- dition and which are just us safe and just as acceptable as many of the newer ones. But there comes time when every car is worn out to the extent that it is not only unsafe on the highway but where 1t can hardly be considered good economy on the part of it's owner to run 1t any longer. It seems sometimes that there are many persons to whom the subject of economy does not apply at all: 50 long as there is car availa ble that will run, certain people will use 1t even though it is known that by so doIng they are creating difficulties and dangers.
 From the standpoint of profit It is important to the manufacturing tHdt WOIil OuL Dc tdhtH off the road. For obvious reasons no maker of cars ever cares to exhibit a worn out specimen of his own make unless it Is within the limits of proper performance.
 Tt seems that it might be mat ter of. pride and trade economy for each manufacturer to watch the worn out cars of his own make and see to 1t, if possible, that they are eliminated. This can be done through his salesmen's force by of- fering desirable trades and by junk ing such old cars as are received. The estimate of elimination of cars by this method and by all others Is apparently about 500,000 cars a year. Connecticut is rather forum

ate in this respect. probably due to the fact that taken in the average
 Its per capita wealth Is so much larger than that of many other states tEat there is more replace
 ment. The consequent result is that cars on ist highways, so far as con- dition goes, are better than in many other states. But even so, replace
 ment is not practiced as much as 1t ought to be. This is due perhaps to the fact that proper importance Is not given by each owner to the following through of his cars per- formance. There ought to be a time when each owner seriously and solemnly reviews the idea of keeping q car which has become worn out on the highway. When that time comes he ought to reckon his own life and the lives of others as one of the fac- tors which make him decide to ex- change or give up car.
 "Introspection has long been con- sidered one of the duties of an opera tor and just as an operator ought to review his own acts of operation

Appear in Senate.

Round one of the reapportion-
nlent fight in the senate was sched-
uled for this afternoon as special
order of business.
Republican will seek to supplant
the Core Democratic reapportion-
ment measure by one of their own
making, now pending senate action.
The Core bill came to the SEN

committee report. Democratic men,
bers of the committee favored pas
sage, signing a minority report,
while the G. 0. P. majority men,
berShip recommended indefinite

charged that the bill had been
drawn by senators from central and

from $50 to $3.50 in four hotel rob-
berries
Dillon's father, DR.. William A..
Dillon, was found murdered on the
campus of Washington university at
st. Louis in 1925. Teddy, who

Prior to That he had ben expelled
from the University of Kansas for
for forging entrance credits. One of
his stunts at the university was
sending tWenty-four dozen roses to
a coed he liked.
In Jail here, Dillon revealed that
since his fathers death he has
served sentences at Sing Sing and
Elmira prisons in New York.
What police considered one of the
strangest of his revelations was that
while in Chicago he had been work
ing regularly as an oil station at
tendant, changing at nights from
his oily clothes to the expensive
suits which helped him convince
society he was 'the son of mil
lionaire who took frequent trips by
airplane to New York"
Was Freed by Judge
Two revolvers were found in his
room and the discovery led to an
other revelation, that Dillon had
been arrested Jan. II on charge
of carrying a gun.
He told judge the story of being
the son of a millionaire so con-
vincingly the judge decided the ar
resting officer was in the wrong be-
cause he did not have warrant
