KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Aug. IL. -
Gangland revenge turned suddenly
and spectacularly into a boomerang
of death today when three men
were slain on the street in front
of the Elite Stuben club on the
south side. W ~
One man was put OH the spot"
Two were shot to death by sher-
III who coincidentally drove by the
scene while machine gun bullets
still were whizzing through the
street. A fourth was arrested.
Returning from garden party,
Sheriff Thomas B. Bash heard the
roar of guns. He saw a man, run :
ming on the sidewalk, exchanging
gunfire with three others in an au-
tomobile. Siezing the riot gun al
ways in his car, the sheriff shot to
death two occupants of the auto
mobile and captured the third.
Police identified the dead as
Ferris j. Anthone, proprietor of II
Travetore cafe, the spot" victim;
Sam Soda, former part owner of
the old Jewel club, and Gus Gasone
a night club operator.
A man identifying himself as Gus
Garotta was captured near the
scene.
The killing climaxed a feud be-
tween factions controlling the night
club racket here. The feud has
grown more bold Of recent weeks
as competition between the city's
bright spots became bitter. ..
Sheriff Tells Story
Sheriff Bash gave the following
version of the bloody episode:
my wife, deputy. a girl and I
were going home from a party. I
heard shots and saw a man run
ming on the sidewalk, turning to
fire at a black sedan. Shots also
came from a machine gun in the
sedan.
II seized the riot gun in my car,
crouched beside an apartment wall
as the running man went down and
fired at the two men in the front
seat of the car. Both Slumped down
and the car came to stop.
1.-THE deputy and I approached the
car. The men in the front seat were
alive, but died soon. A third man
who was in the rear seat leaped
out We captured him."
A woman came from nearby
building, screaming, and ran to-
ward the man on the sidewalk. She
said she was the wife of Anthone.
She told officers she, her husband
and her mother had returned from
wrestling match as the death car
approached and shooting began as
they were about to enter their res
idence nearby.
Anthone was indicted a year ago
by a federal grand jury in Chicago
as a member of liquor ring said
to have dispensed half million
gallons of alcohol in the middle
west. Most of his police record act
ivity however was here, where he

newspapers with heavily curtailed
and restricted income possibilities;
that such condition would tend to
eliminate many small city daily
newspapers published within the
circulation areas of metropolitan
newspapers; that such conditions
would Cypress all small city daily
newspapers and tend toward furth-
er unemployment in the newspaper
industry thereby defeating the pur-
pose of the recovery act; that by
forcing unduly large wage increases
in mechanical departments the
whole balance of compensation as
regards other departments would
be thrown Out or line. Newspapers
for years have erred in paying all
other employees in disproprotion to
wages paid mechanical employees
and proposed American Newspaper
Publishers association code would
increase disparity and aggravate
the problem.
Presidents Code Sufficient
1--WE contend that section six in
the Presidents agreement calling
for a minimum wage per hour is
sufficient for the purposes of a
national newspaper code and un-
doubleday was so considered by the
President of the United States
otherwise it would not have been
made part of his blanket agree
ment.
Therefore we contend that this
section six be made part of any
proposed newspaper code and should
be submitted for that part of
section five of the American News
paper Publishers association pro-
posed code which refers to the
hourly rates of pay as of July 10,
1929. Immediate reversion to 1929
mechanical hourly wage rates not
called for by the Presidents agree
ment or National Recovery Act it
self and is also absent from any
other industry's submitted or ap-
proved codes and would cause in
creases in some cases in excess of
40 per cent in production costs to
California daily newspapers.
1--WE contend the question of wage
rates above minimum prescribed in
section six must be arrived at on
regional state and sectional bases
to meet specific and peculiar con-
ditions and should be accomplished
in cooperation with regional or
state national recovery boards. We
protest finally because California
with one of the largest newspaper
populations in the United States
was not accorded representation on
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation committee named to form
ulate code.
"In all other respects however
we are in accord with proposed code
and we further hereby affirm oul
Loyalty to the President of the Unit
ed States as witnessed by the gen.
erous and wholehearted editoria

HAVANA, Aug. 12.-The impend-
ing retirement of President Gerar-
do Machado from the presidency of
Cuba was announced officially to-
day
The question of successorship to
the provisional presidency appear
ed to be still unsettled.
The state department issued the
following statement, which was also
presented to the foreign diplomatic
corps:
President Gerardo Machado will
send a message to congress this
,morning solicitii\ q Seave of abb
sence which will follow his resigna-
ton. The secretary of state had
previously resigned, but will con-
tinue at the state department un-
til his successor is appointed"
The statement was issued after
President Machado left the palace,
escorted by two truckloads of troops
armed with machine guns, to go
| to his ranch.
Throughout the morning, Sum-
| ner Welles, American ambassador,
held conferences with leaders of
the revolving army and the civilian
oppositionists to Machado. With
the withdrawal of Machado an I'm
official certainty since last night,
all negotiations centered around
his successor.
Machado wanted Alberto Herrera,
secretary of war, and there were
indications that this was satisfac-
tory to Welles. The oppoSitionistS.
however, insisted Herrera was only
shadow of Machado and would
not do. Army officers, still half
loyal to Machado, who stood out for
Herrera were arrested and their
posts were filled by officers who
joined in insistence upon choice of
an anti-Machado man.
Army Leaders Quit Hero
Another question at issue was
whether, under the new regime.
Ambassador Welles' efforts at med
iation would continue. He desired
to follow the lines of recent weeks,
drawing up constitutional reforms
and new electoral law to submit
to congress. But the army leaders
who deserted their former hefo,
Machado, yesterday because, they
said, only by his withdrawal could
foreign intervention be avoided,
were firm today in the demand
that Cuban affairs be left to Gu
bans.
Ambassador Welles left the en-
baSsy at IL a. m. (EDT), saying he
