Fire Into Crowds

Geneva, Nov. 10.-(P-The tragedy
of fatal riot echoed through Thu
"city of peace" Thursday after 8
company of young recruits had turned
machine guns on Kissing crowd
killing II men and wounding z,
persons. The angry mob killed one
soldier.
The disturbance came Wednesday
night as the climax of weeks of bitter
political agitation between Socialists
and the local Geneva government
It began in front of community hall
where an anti-Socialist political meet
ing had been prohibited. Gendarmes
closed the doors, but the crowd broke
through.
Sensing trouble, authorities ordered
the young troops which previously
had been called from Lausanne, to
march to the scene. AS soon as they
appeared the crowd began Kissing and
calling them "children's troops"
Suddenly there came burst of ma
chine-gun fire. Part of the crowd
thought blanks were being discharged
but others slumped to the pavement
dead and wounded. Among them was
a child whose jaw was shot away.
One of the young machine gunners
was so Mortified at the sight of blood
shed that he quit his weapon, and
fled in Mysteries.
Eight of the crowd were killed out
right.

Two morning newspapers said the
tragedy should be blamed on two So
cialist leaders, Leon Nicole, editor OF
an afternoon newspaper and member
of the Cantonal government. and Jac-
ques DECKER, lawyer and naturalized
Russian. The newspapers denounced
the two as emmisaries OF Moscow.
Nicole was arrested Thursday anc
accused of fomenting riot.

ROOSEVELT WILL Be BUSY
President-EIect Might Break
Precedent BY Early Sc
lection Of Cabinet
(By The Associated Press)

Their victory swelling with every
additional return on Tuesdays ire
mendous vote, Americas new Demo-
cratic leaders Thursday faced four
months Of arduous preparation for the
responsibility of plotting the govern
ment.
A free hand in directing the coun-
try was given President-elect Roose-
welt by election of a, house three to
one Democratic, and a senate con-
trolled by his party. 50 to SO. This
smashing victory only emphasized the
significance Of his never-before at
tanned electoral vote Of 472 to 50 for
President Hoover.
The popular vote kept mounting to-
ward record figures with 1860 900 re-
corded for the winner out of more
than 100000 counted in approx
mately three-fourths of the country's
voting districts.
Under this amazing grant Of power,
Roosevelt expressed his appreciation
by saying "this clear mandate shall
not be forgotten"
He termed it "a national expression
Of liberal thought"
Creating Machinery
Already he has informed the con-
gressional leaders Of his party that
the time from now until March 4 will
be devoted to creating the machinery
required for the Democratic program
He Is to choose also cabinet, a ma
jor task in which his associates say
he may break one more precedent by
announcing its makeup considerably
before Inauguration.
He proposes to continue intensive
consultation with experts on industry
agriculture and finance. formulating
definite projects to bring into play
the principles he expounded during
the campaign.
The Democratic grip on the new
congress did not extend to winning
control of the senate for the immedi-
ate short session. A sudden squirt In
the late vote counting on the part of
Republican Senator w. Warren Bar
bour of New Jersey brought him safe
ly past his Democratic opponent,
Percy H. Stewart, to whom at one
seat is to be occupied this session by
a Republican, just as is the one in
Colorado, where Republican Karl G

Their confident predictions, reject

Of the Volstead act.
Then, even before all ballots were
counted, the beer cause received new
impetus from such Democratic lead
ers as Robinson of Arkansas, the
senate leader, and Harrison of Mis-

voices added volume to pre-elec-
ton forecast of Speaker John N
Garner, vice president elect, that the
lame-duck house will be for beer.
Drys countered quickly, denying
