This truly begins new day for Chicago-a day of progress and cre-
 ativeness. Aside from making this city a safer and morally cleaner place to bring up children I shall put forth my best efforts to make Chicago the most efficient and the
 most modern city in the world. "The wole world has been watch ing us and looking to this day with
 high hopes for our welfare. I am glad 1t was not disappointed. Cor Criminals will find no hiding place here. our streets will be safe and commerce will find the highest en- couragement".
 When news of the defeat reached Thompson. he smiled and announced that tomorrow he would be of on a cruise of the Mississippi river to boost his waterways plan.
 "The people of Chicago have spoken" Thompson said. T cheer fully abide by their decision. con- graduate Mir Cermak on his election and as a private citizen will do all in my power for the upbuilding of our city.
 "T will redouble my efforts for the waterways to bring to Chicago a greater prosperity and work for tho unemployed and to this end have chartered the river steamer Cape

 nous smile and cigar were in place. The merriment at Thompson's head quarters, always a part of his vic-5 tories, was absent in defeat. The headquarters was dark before mid night.
 With Cermak, enough democratic aldermen were swept into office to give the party a majority of 30 to 20 in the city council. All but six of those elected in the 21-run-off races
 were candidates who had not served
 previously in the council. Most of them received either Cermak sup port or Thompson opposition.

 Dr Robert H. Willis made the statement of Longworth's condition in behalf of himself and Dr Thomas Brooks. The statement was as fol- lows:a
 "Mr. Longworth has pneumonia of type four in the right upper lobe. There has been no extension to any other lobe. The pneumonia has con- tinued for approximately two and one half days.
 'Tthe patients vitality and stam- ina are excellent and his condition is as well as could be expected. pulse, temperature and respiration are all satisfactory: Pulse no; temperature 101; respiration 2S".
 Longworth, who had worked strenuously during the closing weeks of congress. contracted cold about ten days ago. On Monday he was ordered to bed and pneumonia de- .veloped. The two Aiken physicians who were attending him thought 1t advisable to summon third from Augusta. Ga, IF miles away. for consultation.
 The speaker is confined at the home of MT and Mrs James, F. Cur. tis. prominent in Washington society who are his hosts every year at their winter residence here.
 Speaker Longworth is one of the best known and most popular men in national politics. He often has been mentioned as a presidential possibility. Although he seems much younger, he has reached the age of 61--a fact which added to the concern of his friends in all branches of political life and in both major political parties.

LATE EVIDENCE OF YESTERDAY

Trial of the three accused pro- ceeded yesterday afternoon under the court, Sullivan having changed from d jury trial. The jury was dismissed by Judge Baldwin, but several of the men sat around and listened to the testimony. A crowd larger than that attending the morn ing session of court was jammed into the court room. Atty Weisman placed on stand, Mir and Mrs James Sullivan. parents of the accused and Miss Catherine Sullivan. sister of>the accused after Sullivan had testified during the morning.
 Surprise Witness.
 The surprise witness of the day was Tony Eddie" Distefano, broth CT of Amerigo, who took the stand in the late afternoon and remained until court closing time. Tony preferred to stand while testffying and did not take the seat on the wit ness stand that is customarily taken by witnesses.
 He admitted that he visited his brother and Sullivan at the county jail last Saturday and that they both attempted to have him tell a pack of lies on the stand. He refused and said he was going to tell the truth, he said he informed them.
 Baron Watched Dope Making.
 At the opening of yesterday after noon's session. Sullivan on cross ex- animation conducted by States At torney Lewis said Torkomian had watched him make up the chloral hydrate drink in which he had placed four or five grains Of the drug. in glass of water before giv- f,a,x tt zlI ftTs., ssl1 plalned of the bitterness. he said he gave her stick of gum After she became dizzy, Sullivan said Tor komian told him to go out for cig arettes and not to hurry back. He said Isabelle was almost uncon- scious when he left the office. lsa- belle did not know Sullivan was gone from the office. Sullivan stated. Sul- livan admitted he knew 1t was wrong 10 give the chlornl hydrate to Jsa- belle but explained he agreed to the proposal of Torkomian on the i'm pulse of the moment. He denied that Isabelle sat on his lap in her ride to the Distefano home. He said Isabelle was In reclining posi- ton on the chair In Torkomian's office when he returned after pur- chasing the cigarettes. He said he was gone 20 minutes. Sullivan de- monstrated Isabelle's position. sprawling himself on the chair. with head thrown back and said Isa- bells eyes were half closed.
 When Sullivan stepped down from the stand he took his seat next to his counsel. Attorney Weisman. but turned his back on Torkomian who sat across the table from him.
 Druggist on Stand.
 After Sullivan's testimony, Pat rick Brick, proprietor of Bricks Pharmacy at 109 Baldwin street, took the stand to testify that Sulli- van had purchased q magazine in his store on the Wednesday night of the alleged assault. He said it was after o'clock when the magazine was sold to Sullivan.
 Mrs Sulllvan's Story.
 Mrs Sullivan said she has lived in Waterbury for 3S years. She said James has not acted the same since his injury at the Waterbury Ice Corp in 1924 and that he has

Longworth has been staunch re- publican, He counts among his friends, however, leading figures in both parties. Rep John N. Garner of Texas, who would supercede him as speaker if the democrats organ ize the closeIy-divided 72nd con- gross. is one of his closest associates.
 The speaker was suffering from an earlier cold when the last con- gress adjourned. but it gave him no immediate concern. He left Washington late last month and came here for q vacation, when he since has played golf and attended an occasional dinner party.
 Mir and Mrs Longworth have been social leaders both in Washington and Cincinnati since their wedding when he was a rising young poli- .tician and she the daughter of the then President Theodore Roosevelt.

Robert Butler, Named in Case, Denies Charge Says Woman Broke Glass and That on Being Questioned She Grabbed Knife and Attempted to Carve Him

Butler versus Butler presents to the authorities of the city court a case of unusual features.
 Robert Butler. 30, colored. of 159 North Elm street. Is the defendant and Miss Laura Butler of the same address, roomer. is the complain ant. There is no relation between the opposing parties. There is q big discrepancy in their stories and q continuance of one day was obtained to permit the police to investigate and test the truth of the conflicting tales. It's a question whether Miss Butler took voluntary plunge through q window or whether she smashed it as evidence for san alibi. There's also q difference of opinion es to whether Miss Butler was cut in her dive or whether she used knife in the melee.

British press, which followed the election closely and gave prominent display to the result. Curiosity was expressed whether Al Capone would be able to flourish under the new Cermak regime.
 The Evening Standard editorially congratulated "the people of Chicago on having liberated themselves from a dangerous mountebank who dom- mated their civic life too long"
 Prohibition remains,' the edi- torial added, land that is the soil in which political corruption and the rule of the gangster proliferate as naturally as cheese mites in cheese"
 The paper warned British cities to guard their civic sanctity.
 "Proliferate" is defined as "to pro. duce or bear rapidly"

when he was struggling upward and who in few months became Mrs Cermalx, was missing. She died obaut a year ago. It was the first time she hadn't shared his glory.
 Cermak's father and grandfather were miners in Bohemia, so 1t seem ed inevitable that s"rony's'' first job would be digging coal. It wasn't much of job as jobs ran in those days but it made him independent, a quality that has characterized his life. The hours were long and the pay 85 cents a day. There wasn't much time for school so he, like Lincoln, studied at night. Tn the summer time, when work was slack in the mines he hired out to farm CTS or worked on the small farm his father owned.
 By the time he reached 16 he was a full-ffedged mule driver at $1 a day and leader of the miners. They considered themselves down trod- den. One day in 1889 they struck.
 What the helrs the matter?" John Cherry, mine superintendent shouted at the idle workers.
 We want a raise," Cermak told him, speaking for the miners.
 You'll get 1t, Come on."
 Cherry led Cermak to the cage, put him on 1t and waved 1t up.
 There's your raise," shouted the foreman as the cage rose
 And 1t was. for Cermak rolled his few belongings Into bandana hand kerchief and started for Chicago, the city he had dreamed of.
 He trudged along the canal, for he had no money for train fare. He arrived in Lawndaie on West 26th street.
 The prospect for q job looked good as there were many men work ing here then. Cermak stopped and the history of Cermak and Lawn dale are closely interwoven from then on.

 Representative Hugh Shields of Ridgefield denied the bill was advo- cated by "a few radicals. Repre- sentative Marjory Cheney, Manches- ter, demanded: Are woman's morals so flimsy she cannot go into court?"
 Other proponents of jury service included Representatives J. Anges Burns, Hartford, Helen E. Lewis. Stratford, Joseph P. Lawrence, Stamford, Corrine R. Alsop, Avon, and Alice Rowland, Ridgefeld. Representative Alice Lee Coe, Win- chester, declared she was opposed to service for women.

proeenitor Of 'Tomfool ideas: evil

Einstein. with his rams horn idea
about the universe. which he has had
TO deny after collaboration with some
Of our Western scientists.
Gen. Fries asserted that M Shaw

the other hand. has an unfortunate
penchant for teaching treason to our

appeal TO workers throughout the world
to unite against militaristic interests.

an adequate navy?" he quickly re-
piled to himself that AN adequate
navy is one that is able to lick any
