SOLICITORS BEAT LAW
Get Around License Act by Using
c. o. D. Methods.

Solicitors who do a house toulouse
or off1ce-to-office business have been
the first to find loophole in the new
license act, according to Assistant Cor
poration Counsel William A. Roberts.
Under the law they may not do bust
ness without obtaining a license at a
cost of Sl2 per annum. However. the
law applies only where the solicitor
takes deposit or something of value.
So that to avoid the S12 license. many
solicitors now abandon the requirement
of deposit and make their sales on a

Wells Fargo Express company has
contracted with growers of the
states of Sinaloa and Sonora to
distribute agricultural products in
the United States at a flat rate

This plan for moving the agri-

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. - Lead
ers of American business expressed
relief today at the conclusion of
political uncertainty and belief
that "single-minded nation"
may now proceed to consolidate re-
cent economic gains and go for
ward toward prosperity.
The general tenor of opinions
gathered by the United Press from
representative bankers and indus
tcialists was optimistic. 1t seems
to be agreed that the change in
political administrations will not
halt an upward trend in economic
conditions, although it is empha-
sized that cooperation from all
parties and all classes will be es-
sential from now until the upturn
has been strongly demonstrated.
81 can see no reason why chang
ing of administrations should halt
our progress toward business re-
covery," said p w. Litchfield, pres
ident of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company.
with a friendly congress and a
competent cabinet, and the vast
public confidence in him which is
indicated by the vote, Mr.. Roose-
welt will be in strong position to
carry on.

STALIN'S WIFE
KNOWN TO FEW

MOSCOW, Nov. TO- WP)-Grief
was expressed today in Soviet party
official circles over the death Of
the young wife of Josef Stain,
Communist leader.
The masses never knew her
personally, being unacquainted with
the private lives of their leaders.
The brief announcement of her
death in today's papers, giving her
name without mentioning Stain,
probably will not convey her iden-
tity to millions.
Nadezhda Alleluyeva, who was
80, died suddenly Tuesday night, a
brief official announcement said.
She was Stains second wife. Their
acquaintance began when she was
the baby daughter of his friend,
Sergei Alleluyeva, a veteran Boil
shevik. They were married Is
years ago. They had two children,
a girl of seven and a boy of IL.
She seldom appeared at public
demonstrations. Like most Boil
shevik wives leading their own lives,
she had been completing a course
in the industrial academy, study
ing the production of artificial
silk.

1t was decided last night that
the best method to combat the So

CUBAN SUGAR
AREA STRUCK
BY HURRICANE
Score Killed AS Rich District Is
Ravaged By Storm Causing
Severe Damage.
STRIKES ATLANTIC COAST
Shore Property In Northeast
Pounded By Gale With Loss
Amounting To 100000.

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 10. U.P)-
The rich sugar districts of central
Cuba over an area of some 200
miles we're left devastated today in
the wake of a tropical hurricane
which demolished houses, sugar
mills, bridges, crops and trees and
caused heavy casualties.
The known death list was 18 to-
day, but it was feared it would
increase when complete reports
were received from the stricken
district, which is cut off from COM
munication. Two dead were re-
ported from Cairbarien, where %
were injured Estimates of the in
jured ranged as high as $50.
The storm passed out to sea in
the direction of the Bahamas. and
might veer toward the coast of the
United States.
Communications in Camaguey
and Santa Clara provinces, where
the storm struck, were almost COM
pletely disrupted, and accurate es-
Inmates of the dead and probably
extensive destruction could not be
obtained. At Camajuani, a town
OF 1900 population in the northern
part of Santa Clara province, IL
persons were killed and rs were
injured. Camajuani was not in
the direct path of the storm but
was hit by a circling tornado shoot
ing off from the main disturbance.
Heavy damage was reported also
from TunaS de Zaza and Nuevitas.
Santiago de Cuba was not affect
ed & United Press radio dispatch
from that city said.
1t was believed the greatest cas-
ualties would be in the vicinity of
Santa Cruz del Sur, on the south
coast of Camaguey province, where
the storm first struck. Its veloci-
ty was 100 miles an hour. 1t moved
across the country at about 10
miles an hour The ground around
Santa Cruz is low and swampy, and
it was feared many were unable
to escape drowning, as the storm
piled up the waters around the
coast.
The hurricane swept across one
of Cuba'S richest sugar territories.
The loss on the 1888 crop was ex-
pected to be minimized however,
as the standing cane of the island
greatly exceeds the international
limitation quota fixed at 100000
tons Sufficient time will elapse
to repair the Damaged mills, it was
believed.
GunbOat Missing
Fear was expressed that the Gu
ban gunboat Yara might have been
lost, as it was in the path of the
| storm, and was in communication
with Havana radio stations until
the hurricane struck, after which
no word was heard.
Some hope was expressed that
| the inhabitants of Santa Cruz del
Sur might have been warned in
time to remove themselves in safe
ty Tuesday night before the hur-
ricane struck. 1t was believed the
town might have been destroyed.

VICTIM DIES

By means of personal pa

fled as Enrique ChacOn, be-
lieved to be of Eel PasO, the
Mexican killed IL miles north
of WestmOrland by a hit and
run driver last night. An in
quest will be held Saturday.
An unidentified Mexican's life
was the toll OF hit and run driver
near Kane Springs last night, the
victim dying without regaining con-
seriousness while he was being taken
TO hospital at Brawley.
Since the victim did not live to
tell anything of the accident, and
there were no witnesses, authori-
ties today were without clue to the
identity of the motorist who struck
the Mexican as he was riding along
the highway on bicycle.
Not even the time of the accident
could be fixed. The report to the
sheriff's office was telephoned in
after 10 o'clock
An ambulance was dispatched to
pick up the body of the unconscious
man, but before the ambulance ar
rived immigration Inspector Camp
bell happened along and took him
to the hospital. Before they ar
rived at Brawley, however, the
Mexican was dead.
Coroner A. r. Underwood was
making every effort today to es-
tablish the identity of the victim,
thought to be a ranch worker.

DRY LEADERS PREPARING FOR
HARD BATTLE TO RETAIN LAW

hitherto dry Democrats, some of
whom support the national wet
platform plank reluctantly, there
is doubt about the alcoholic con-
tent which would be consistent
with the 18th amendment.
Senators and congressman re-
plying to telegraphic United Press
inquiries reflected all shades of
prohibition opinion. The diverg-
ence of their views demonstrated
the certainty of sharp controversy
this winter centering around the
question of what alcoholic content
could be permitted without violat-
ing the constitution.
Leaders of wet organizations
interpreted the election as a man
date for immediate modification
and repeal. Jouett Shouse, presi-
