ORTIZ RUB|O PUTS
GALES IN CABINET
President of Mexico, Given
designations of All Others,
Now Has Free Rein.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, October 16-With
the decks swept clean by designations,
President Ortiz Rubio was free today
to choose a new cabinet centering
around Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales as
secretary of war.
He accepted the designations Of the
remainder of his cabinet and the chiefs
of all principal government bureaus last
night, rendering temporarily vacant the
direction of every government depart
ment except his own and that of the
ministry CT war. SubsecretarieS were
in charge of the work.
Fourteen political leaders, including
seven cabinet ministers, one subSecre-
tary and six department heads, thus
returned to private life in order to give
the executive free rein in reorganizing
his government to avert q political
crisis and to quiet unrest"
Public opinion today inclined TO the
belief the new government would find
number of the former officials in
charge of their old departments or
shifted to new leadership roles. 1t APP
peared certain, however. that the four
generals Of the late cabinet Amaro,
Almazan. Cardenas and Cedilo, had
retired definitely from the government.
The manner in which the change in
government will affect Gen. Gales
plans was a matter for conjecture. The
former President and Iron man" of
Mexico had planned to go to Roches-
ter, MINI, this month following the
marriage Of his daughter, and he want
ed to go to Southern or Lower Cali
fornia later to rest.
The Catholic Church will not permit
its clergy to resist by force the present
state religious measures, Archbishop
Leopoldo Ruiz Flores instructed his
bishops in an open letter last night.
II believe that violent action at this
time not only would prejudice the
cause Of the church, but also would OBJ
struct reconstruction of the country,
which must be undertaken by the Off
Gals in power" the archbishop wrote.
The newspaper Universal Grafico
announced today that the governors
of three territories under federal juris-
diction had resigned They are Carlos
Trejo y Lerod de Tejeda and Agustin
Olachea of the northern and southern
districts of Lower California and Ar
turo Campillo Seyde of Quintana Roo.

legally registered last year under the
double affidavit system.
Action of the board follows an opin-
ion Of the Court of Appeals of Maryland
holding that the act of 1929 provid-
ing for the affidavit system was uncon-
stitutional, and the subsequent ruling
of Attorney General William Preston
Lane that persons registered by am
davits last year faced disqualification
unless they went before the clerk of
the court and declared their inten-
lions before November Of this year.
1t has been estimated that approx
mately $50 residents who moved here
from other States were registered last
year by aff1davits.

M U S &c
UNIVERSITY CLUB PROGRAM.


THE University Clubs first mu-
l. sicale last evening. with George
O'Connor and an all-star company,
was unusually entertaining. There
were all kinds of singers as well as
piano and violin soloists, ordinarily
a motley group, but with O'Connor
and Matt Horne, his amusing &C.
companist, and Thomas Brahany
as master of ceremonies the audi
ence seemed not to mind in the least.
Jack Bowie sang a group, includ-
ing Little Mother O. Nine" to be-
gin the program. Mr.. Bowie had
q bad cold, but surmounted 1t well.
Fred East followed with ''Davy
Jones' Locker and Rolling to the
Sea-" Mr.. East has pleasing, rich
baritone, and George Wilson's &C
compartments should be mentioned,
especially for the ease with which
they followed Mr.. East's rather
stumbling tempo.
The success of the evening, how
ever, was George O'Connor, and in
particular his spirited version of
Tommy Murphy" Helen Howison's
soprano is always a favorite, but
her rendering of the Brahms
"Wiegenlied" last evening was par
ticularly fine, with its second verse
a mere wisp of clear tone. Will
liam Raymond followed with a group
of tenor solos and later with two
duets with Fred East. OF these
George Wilson's combined version
of 20 Genevieve" and I'm the
Cleaning" was most pleasing. The
close harmony Of the simple pop
ular songs is more appropriate to
amateur entertainment than opera.
Priska Kaspar played two piano
numbers with facility, then accom-
panied her father, Anton Kaspar, in
a violin group. including a Hun
garian Rhapsody" by Hubay and two
Kreisler favorites. O'Connor and
Horne ended the program with some
amusing original songs and a medley
of old Negro melodies. O'Connor's
last Saloon" sent the audience into
gales of laughter. D. C.
