MONACO M0BILIZES 100- MAN ARMY TO QUELL RI0T0US SUBJECTS

MONTE CARLO. Dec 27-An of this principlaity is astir over Prince Louis's coup d'etat, staged yester- day. He suspended state and mu- nicipal councils. taking away guar antees provided by the constitution of 1911.
 The hubbub here is mostly talk, but the government mobilized it's entire army of more than 100 men to meet and possible emergency and to put down further rioting if words develop into deeds.
 The expectation is that France will move troops into the principal ity to take over administration of the little nation.
 Trouble first came to a head this week when the prince returned from Paris to find himself in the midst of a riot. The people felt, it was sai. d that he should remain at home more and attend to the af- fairs of his domain instead of spend ing so much time in Paris.
 The seat of the disturbance, it has been said, is in the fact that this years batch of wealthy tour ists was extremely small; so that it was feared the citizens them selves would be forced to pay taxes to the government; a thing hereto fore unheard of.

BUTLER AND COLLIER FIGHT IS A DRAW

After one of the slowest main events on record, Ford Butler and Joe Collier, matched for the alleged heavyweight championship of south east Alaska, fought to a draw in the Moose smoker at Juneau, ac- cording to the unanimous decision of Judges Karl Theile and Ed Adams.
 The entire eight rounds were slow except in spots where the two seekers after fistic laurels rallied for seconds only to lapse again into posturing and gargoyle imitation. Butler landed the oftener, and had clear edges in the second, sixth, sev- enth and eighth rounds. Some pro- tests greeted the decision, but the fans, tired with the lack of action, didn't care much which way the officials voted.-Empire.

PREMIER MINE FORGED TO REDUCE OUTPUT

Owing to the reduction of cop per shipments to the Tacoma smelt- CT, and the extremely silicious na- ture of the Premier ore, the latter company has been forced to curtail shipments to the shelter. As a re- suit of this curtailment of tonnage, there has been a reduction of work ing hours at the mine, this part of operations being reduced to six days per week instead of seven as was formerly the case, and the tram will operate only four days per week.
 The reduction in tonnage ann cunts to about 2000 tons pen month from the local properties handled by this company.
 This is a condition which will no doubt right itself in the near future when marketing conditions are expected to improve.-Prince Rupert Empire.

KETCHIKAN, Dec. 3O-The res cue ship Dorothea, Capt. Larry A. Parks, with a volunteer crew of 20 men aboard, failed to find any trace of Pilot Robin Renahan or his plane in the Vallenar Bay region.

 The Dorothea has proceeded to Percy Island to continue the search for Pilot Renahan and his eompan- ions. The expedition aboard the Dorothea is being financed by funds subscribed in Seattle.
 VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 27- Mrs. Robin Renahan today sent a cablegram to Lord Amulree, secre- tary of state for air in London, ask ing the imperial government to sup port the request to the Canadian government for a continuation of the search for her husband.
 The message said. Search planes have been withdrawn and the do- minion has refused my request that search be resumed.

An un- identified plane was reported inland the next day, and Indians have re- ported three white men marooned in the mountains near Hazelton. !"

CAPT. HANSON HEARD HUM OF
 PLANE ENGINE
Pilot on Steamer Alaska Makes Report on Ar
 rival at Seward

< SEWARD, Ala ska Sept. 12.- Capt. II. Hanson, pilot of the steamer Alaska, on arrival here reported hearing the hum of a plane passing overhead at II o'clock last Tuesday night, when the Alas ka was about 30 miles off shore from Lituya Bay, Gulf of Alaska.
 Capt. Hanson. said apparently the plane was flying east.
 It is not considered probable that local commercial planes were fly ing in the vicinity at that time of the night. The weather condi- tions were described as dark and misty, but the sea was fairly calm
 The plane heard by Capt. Han son may have been Moyle and All lens plane, flying from Japan to Seattle on an attempted nonstop flight and from which nothing has been heard since shortly after it left Samushiro Beach, Japan. It is said the plane should have been in that location about the time Capt. Hanson heard the hum of the engine.

 for Each Mile of Road

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-If all the autos in the United States were spread evenly along its 3,016,000 miles of roads, there would be 8.17 machines to every mile.
 But in California 79 autos would be lined up in every mile if the state should spread its home owned cars over only it's own roads.
 These figures are given in Civil Engineering, official journal of the American Society of Civil Engineers by William J. Fox, chief engineer of the Los Angeles county regional planning commission.
 Fox tells the engineers method successfully used in California to estimate future road requirements without relying upon guesswork. In California they count the popu- lation, the number of autos and es- innate the future population, put a graph" on these figures and have the answer. The graph is a

 Sometimes single patrolman Is on duty, sometimes there is a group consisting of two or three, who stroll before or lean beside the chosen entrance.

 We find a place where there is doorkeeper who will not pass anyone except those he knows per- sonally, and we station picket, said the Inspector.

chart of expectations based upon studies of present automobile den- sity.
 Automobiles" said Fox, have a definite relationship to popula- ton. Experiments indicate that there is an equally definite rela- tionship between the number of automobiles in given area and the amount of roadway needed. After several years Of experi-
 mentation with various methods of
 predicting the future demand for highways as to frequency, width and direction, we have concluded that the most valuable factor to employ in such a determination is that of ultimate population, used as load factor. In order, to arrive

LONDON, Sept. 12.-The greatest muster of scientists that London ever has seen is expected for the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science which celebrates it's hundredth year here September B to 30.
 It is the first time the meeting has been held in London.
 The highlight is expected to be the discussion of the evolution Of the universe.
 Sir James Jeans will lead this discussion and others who will talk part include Dr. Barnes. the Angli- can bishop of Birmingham, Prof. A. s. Eddington, Sir Oliver Lodge Prof. R. A. Millikan, Prof. E. A. Milne, Prof. Willem de Sitter and General J. c. Shuts.
 Evolution, of whatever kind, has always provoked a storm at the associations meetings, starting with Darwin's famous theory in 1859.
 This broke into fury in a famous debate and Samuel Wilberforce then Bishop of Oxford, demanded to know whether Huxley claimed descent from an ape through his grandmother or his grandfather. Huxley quickly rejoined that he would rather be descended from an ape than bishop"

KANSAS CITY, Sept. l2.-Three southwestern cities greet that age worn saying about nothing being certain except death and taxes with a laugh.
 Chanute. city of more than 10000 population in southeastern Kansas, eliminated it's city tax levy in 1930.
 Colby, in northwestern Kansas with more than 2,000 residents parted company with city taxes three years ago.
 Ponca City, in north central Ok lahoma. has not levied a general city tax for current expenses upon it's 16,000 residents in six years. A tax for sinking fund revenue a; present amounts to about mills
 In the three cases the money that obyiates the necessity of taxa ton is derived from municipally owned utilities.

 Some compounds when examined with the spectroscope at this low temperature give indications of the shapes of the systems in which their atoms and molecules are fit- ted together. This knowledge is valuable to chemists, who obtain some of their seemingly magical results partly by knowing or gues- sing correctly the arrangements in which various atoms are hitched together.
