BY DEPUTY IN
PISTOL FIGHT
Officer May Die From Wounds
Received In Desperate Battle
During HOld-Up.
CRUELTY TORTURE VICTIMS
Disgruntled Gamblers Return
To Speakeasy After Losing
Money Earlier.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11.-U.P)-
A spectacular holdup of an ex-
elusive speakeasy in the Westlake
district today resulted in the death
of one of two disgruntled gamb-
lers, the probable fatal injury OF
the second and the critical wound
ing of Rudolph Vejar fast-draw-
ing deputy sheriff. who is an uncle
of Laurie Vejar, Notre Dame uni
Versity quarterback.
The dead man was identified as
Rollie d. McAllister, 80, said to
be known in San Francisco gang
ster circles. His partner escaped in
taxicab.
The holdup and shooting were
carried out with all the flourishes
of a gangster attack including the
torturing of victims by applying
lighted matches TO their bare feet.
Investigating officers learned
that McCallister and his companion
had left the speakeasy in anger
early this morning after losing
more than 500 in house gamb-
ling game.
Shortly after a. m. today they
returned flourishing guns. They
found the proprietors, Harvey
Crosby and Ben Harris, closing the
! establishment.
Deputy Sheriff Vejar, SO, who
had been in the place with a wo-
man companion, Evelyn Daughney.
38, investigating vice conditions, was
preparing to leave with Glenn Full
ner, bartender, and S. A. Cameron,
a dealer.
McAllister forced Crosby and
Harris to remove their shoes and
lie down on the floor while his
partner kept the others covered
with two pistols at the other side
of the card room.
/ Finding only 500 in the proprie-
tors pockets, the gangster ordered
Vejar to remove his shoes and lie
down with the other two.
Then thu gangster began burn
ing the soles of Crosby's feet with
matches in an attempt to force him
to tell where the house funds had
been secreted.
Suddenly Vejar, from his prone
position on the floor, drew his gun
and opened fire on McAllisters
companion. The man returned the
fire, one bullet striking Vejar in
the mouth and penetrating his
neck and spine
Bullets Fly Briskly
Undaunted, Vejar emptied his
pistol at McAllister and he fell,
MORALLY wounded.

brought his second gun into action.
and spattered the room with lead
as he staggered out of the speak
easy to a waiting taxicab. He was
believed to be wounded in the abb

While the officer and bandits
traded shots, the terrified specta-
tors huddled in a corner of the
room. None was struck by the wild
barrage.
The taxicab driver. j. E. Bur-
ton, told police he had been in
structed to drive to the speakeasy

SHOWS HEAVY
LOSS Of LIFE
Early Estimates OF Dead Reach
As High As 1900 With Thou
sands More Injured.
GOVERNMENT STARTS AID
Entire Town Reported Destroy
ed By Wall Of Water Which
Swept In From Ocean.
BY LAWRENCE HAAS
United Press Staff Correspondent


HAVANA, Nov. II. Relief
work on a large scale was mobilized
by the government today for the
hurricane stricken inhabitants of
Camaguey and Santa Clara prov
inces, where unofficial estimates
placed the death list at from 1000
to 1900.
The injured were estimated at
more than 1000. None of the es-
Inmates was officially confirmed,
communication being fragmentary
and mostly by radio.
The town of Santa Cruz del Sur
was totally destroyed by wall OF
water, 20 feet or more high, which
moved in from the sea in the path
of the hurricane, carrying away
houses. men, women, children and
animals in its rush of destruction.
Bodies were scattered consider
able distance inland and hundreds
were reported missing, presumably
swept to sea.
Estimates of the dead ranged as
high as 1900, the latter being re-
ported here by the newspaper Ell
Mundo. A relief train under per-
sonal charge of DR.. Carlos de Ces-
pedes, minister of health, is leay-
ing for Camaguey and Santa Cruz
this afternoon, carrying physicians,
nurses, medical supplies and thou
sands of ampules of vaccine.
Survivors reaching Camaguey
from Santa Cruz del Sur said the
sea swept over the low lying coast
al town, which had population
of 1900, to a depth of 20 to %
feet.
The most dramatic story of the
fate of Santa Cruz del Sur was
telephoned to Havana by a sur
vivor, Eloy Garcia Figueroa, who
reached Jatibonico, on the railroad
in Santa Clara province lis miles
northwest of Santa Cruz del Sur.
Officials Among Victims
Figueroa, accompanied by his
wife and a small child whom he
rescued when its parents were
swept away to death in the tor
rents of water, reached Jatibonico
after an arduous trip across the
difficult, swampy country.
Figueroa said the dead would eX-
coed 800. Most of them drowned.
One family of 80 persisted. Among
the dead, he said, were the post
master, president of the city coun-
Gil, telegraph operator and two
physicians, Jose Gay and Secundo
, Tornado. Martinez Barcena, VINO
was just elected national repre-
sentative, Figueroa said, lost his
father and his son, the latter re-
Gently having been elected mayor.
At that point, Figueroa tainted.
He had been tn chief telegraph
dispatcher at Santa Cruz.
It was believed here the death
list in the stricken town would
greatly exceed 300, since most OF
the buildings were of wood and the
inhabitants would find no nearby
refuge in the lowland cane fields
and swamps. The town is built on
marshland surrounded by swamps
and lagoons. 1t lies behind snug
archipelago and IL small keys
known as Queens Gardens. 1t was
feared the 60 inhabitants of the
keys, mostly fisher folk, had per-
ished.
Santa Cruz Del Sur is an impor-
tant fishing, lumber, sugar and
cattle port and is used as base

NATIONS SEEK
DEBT DELAYS
Postponement OF Payments
Expected To Be Asked By
European Powers.
BY JOSEPH III. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
administration today was in the
midst of delicate and reaching
negotiations for the current settle
ment of Europe's debt to the Uni
ted States.
Payments of 1924, 1884, 42i-She an
nual December installments on the
debtS-are at stake.
Notice of postponement already
has been given by four of the small
Ter nations. 1t is understood that
Great Britain has asked, or is ask
ing, delay on at least part of its
$95 $4,000 installment.
Not a single war debt payment
has been made to the United States
since June, 1881. Almost immed-
lately afterward the United States
proposed the Hoover moratorium,
which excused the debtors from
payments normally due in Decem-
Der, 1881 and July 1882.
Since Secretary of State Slim
sons return from New York Wed
nesday, ambassadors of three large
European powers have called or
him-Sir Ronald Lindsay of Great
Britain, Ambassador Giacomo de
MARITIME of Italy and Ambassador
Paul Claudel of France.
State department officials ano
foreign embassies alike declined tc
discuss these visits. 1t was estab-
lished, however, that Sir Ronald
discussed the British debt.
Advices from London yesterday
said the British were sending the
state department a note in re-
gard to the December debt pay
ment Both the state department
and the British embassy refused
to say whether it had been deliver
ed.
1t was considered significant
however, that early in the day the
state department said no note had
been received, while after Sir Ron
aids visit it declined to answer the
question.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. UP
Secretary of State Stimson revealed
today he had received note from
Great Britain regarding adjustment
of war debts and had forwarded il
to President Hoover in California
for his consideration
The text of the note will be made
public simultaneously by the Brit
ish and American governments
within a short time, Stimson said
Meanwhile the secretary refused to
discuss the note in any way.
He said that neither the French
nor the Italian governments had
yet addressed the state department
on the subject of debts.

HIGHEST RATING
GIVEN Ell CENTRIC
In MARKET MILK

An official rating of 94.3 per cent
was given the local milk inspection
department as the result of a recent
survey and milk scoring contest
conducted by a representative of
the state department of agriculture.
This rating was secured under the
administration Of DR.. Warren F.
Fox. health officer, and Walter c.
Macdonald, milk and dairy inspec-
tor.
In the past few years there has
been a strong movement to improve
the quality of milk sold as market
milk. This movement has been
concerned not only with increased
sanitation in the producing and
handling of milk. but also with rails
ing it's nutritive value.
There are three outstanding reas-
ons, officials say, why the milk
supply in California today is of
higher quality than that of former
years: the system Of inspection is
more extensive and rigidly enforced;
education as to the necessity of US
ing only pure and wholesome milk
has created a demand for the high
est quality; and most producers
and dealers are cooperating in ev-
cry possible way to comply with the
requirements of clean milk produc-
tion.
DR.. Fox states: Milk is one of +
the most economical foods. but die
ticians say that the American pub !
lie is consuming less than the de- /
sired amount of dairy products per |
capita. 1t is a well recognized fact |
that milk is the most perfect food I
for man and contains many of ma I
ture's elements that tend to build /
ones health. Because milk contains |
substances not easily obtained from T
other foods, it should be included T
in a well balanced diet designed to +
maintain good health"
The official conducting this sur
vey and scoring contest was DR.. r. I
P. Gingerich, supervising market |
milk specialist, assisted by Don NJ I
Downing, state district dairy in
spector, and Walter c. Macdonald.
district milk and dairy inspector.
The ratings and scores are as
follows.

BEWARE THE
 COUCH OR COLD
 THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-feld ac. tion; ii soothes and heals the inHamed membranes and inhibits germ growth.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recog- nized by high medical authorities ss one of the greatest healing agencies for per sistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. CreomuIsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing ele. ments which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation. while the creosofe goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.
 Creomuision is guaranteed satisfac- tory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respira- tory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. (ady)

 In 1890 she was married to Har- rison Grey Fiske, author and jour nalist, whereupon she retired from the stage untn 1894, reappearing as the heroine of Hester Crew. a play written by her husband.
