The suspicious before and dur ng the Schaaf Camera fight were altogether misplaced Any and all questions as to the honesty of the affair were overshadowed by the development that Ernie Schaaf, supposed iron man" of the ring, was not in proper condition to fight Camera or anyone else.
 Schaaf was weakened by flu" /" The ailment in his brain area was deeper than anyone appar- sntly had the slightest idea before he bout. He might have been hurt just as much by the blow of featherweight as he was by the ponderous cuffing of the giant.
 For this reason nothing was more jncongruous in the tragic after math than the New York boxing Commissions sudden discovery, it had 8 rule limiting behemoths like Camera to a "dreadnaught' class. Muldoon's conclusion that Camera was a menace" and the step ta- ken to bar a return match be- tween the Italian and Jack Shar- key.
 In the first place, Muldoon's apprehension was a trifle belated. Secondly, Carnera's size was not a vital factor in the damage done. In the third place, no mere rules or rebulations will entirely safe guard any boxer in any class, from being seriously or even fatally in- jured in a sport which has for its purpose the infliction of the max mum of punishment possible

day by police investigating a strange
series of deaths among relatives
and friends of Alfred L. Cline, for
mer Colorado convict and wealthy
Glendale resident, under arrest at
San Bernardino on charge of suS-
picion Of robbery.
The trunks belonged to Mrs. Car
rie May Porter, whose death in Re-
no, New, Oct. 16, 1881, was followed
by deaths of Cline'S wife, brother
in-laW, and a friend, all of which
benefited the robbery suspect
through inheritance of personal ef-
fects or insurance, according to au-
thorities. The trunks had been
transferred from one Los Angeles
hotel to another before Mrs. Porter
and Cline journeyed to Reno where
she died suddenly of presumed
heart attack Police said Cline claim
ed her personal effects, representing
himself as her nephew.
Efforts of authorities to examine
the body when it was learned the
body was cremated in Oakland. This
information was elected as authori-
ties were informed by a friend, Mrs.
Florence A. Faurott of Huntington
Park, that Mrs. Potter had been op-
posed to cremation and had pro-
fesSed a desire to be buried in Mex
leo City, the home of son, Homer
Porter.
AS police prepared to open the
trunks in a search of possible evil
dence, they expected to question a
brother and sister of Mrs. Bessie
Cline, who died in Glendale last
month, leaving her husband her in
surance. The brother was Ralph Nc
Creery of Twin Falls, Ida, and the
sister was Mrs. Helen Fisher of
Barstow, Calf. Death of their bro
ther, Lucas Brant McCreery, in
Glendale earlier this year, also was
an object of investigation.

ANoo OhNAl WI PChANN--N
NEW LONDON, Conn, Oct. 30.
The Frances" allegedly a rum
runner, was sunk and coast guard
patrol boat No. 403 badly damaged
today in a collision off Black Point.
The patrol boat was pursuing Sec
ond rum runner.
One member of the Frances crew,
Charles Foster, was wounded cri-
tically in heavy firing that followed
the collision.
The collision came without warn
ing, according to Commander Hen
ry Coyle of the coast guard base.
The Frances rammed 404 on the
starboard side, ploWing deeply into
the hull, leaving her in badly dam
aged condition. said Coyle.
The coast guard officers boarded
the Frances but could find no sign
of life and returned to their own
boat.
Meanwhile, coast guard patrol
boat 403 came upon the scene and as
the 404 headed toward port, the
Frances, a 62-foot tri-motor, sud-
denly started to pull away.
The patrol boats opened fire
which was returned from the Fran
ces. Foster, according to Coyle, was
wounded as he climbed over the
steel breastplates of the stricken
rum ship.
The Wounding Of Foster resulted in
the surrender of three other mem
bers of the crew who were taken to
the base here. Foster was sent to
hospital in critical condition. Sew
eral sacks of liquor were taken from
the Frances.
THE 403 then turned her atten-
ton to the other rum runner" said
Coyle, "but lost her due to the delay
over the Frances. When we returned
to where the collision occurred the
Frances was gone but we picked her
up about mile away and near
shore. She was near to sinking ana
finally did sink before we had a
chance to transfer all her cargo
The Frances was listed as from
Newport, r. l., and word from there
indicated the vessel as one of the
fastest in this area.

NEW STRIKE
ANN0YS CUBA
By LAWRENCE S. HAAS

United Press Staff Correspondent
HAVANA, Oct. 30.-A 43 hour
general strike, most serious threat
so far to the Grau San Martin
government, began today with three
bombings in the capitals central
district.
The strike, called by the National
Federation of labor in protest
against the alleged killing of 10
laborers of soldiers began at mid
night.
Promptly at that hour a large
bomb exploded outside the print
ing establishment of Rambla, Bou-
zas and company. Iron railings
and door were smashed and win
dows were shattered in neighbor-
ing buildings.
The fact that a partner in the
company is stockholder in the
newspaper Diaria de la Marina,
which resumed publication on a
non-union basis after long strike,
provided possible motive.
Shortly before, a bomb eXplod
exploded before commercial eStab-
ed in street car and another
establishment.
Bombings have become a nightly
occurance. Through motives nearly
all are aimed at discrediting the
government.
Strikes have become more and
more frequent during the Grau
San Martin regrime. Business has
been crippled throughout the island.
Soldiers have been sent to many
points to ouSt strikers who had
seized control of sugar plantations
and it was to one of the military
expeditions that today's general
strike was due.
Though the secretary of the
interior asserted that only one man
was killed in this particular fight
between soldiers and strikers, at
the Jaronu sugar central in CANA
guey province, other reports were
that 10 were killed.

ON ALL FARM
DEBTS URGED

DES MONIES, Ia, Oct. 80 U.P)-
A proposal that a moratorium be
placed on all farm debts was placed
before a conference ON midweStern
governors meeting here today.
The emergency conference was
called to consider measures for re-
lief of farm conditions that precipi-
tated the calling of national farm
strike by the Farm Holiday asso-
citation nine days ago.
Other proposals placed before TIE
governors included refinancing of
farm indebtedness by the federal
government at 112 per cent instead
of Az and 5 per cent, and the re-
monetization of U. S. currency on
silver basis.
Opposition to the farm strike,
heartened by promises of governors
and an emergency declaration by
President Franklin Roosevelt and
his farm administration to aid the
farmers in returning to prosperity,
grew throughout the midwest.
Most farmers apparently prefer
red to await further developments
on those promises. Only in two
states-Iowa and Wisconsin-had
the strike even assumed serious
proportions. In Iowa picketing vir-
tually had ceased.
Milo Reno, who as president OF
the Holiday association, ordered
farmers to withhold all farm prod
ucts from market, resist eviction
from their ZONES and boycott mer-
chants until cost of production is
reached, indicated picketing would
cease while the governors are in
session.

house Saturday night with Ernest
R. Utley, chairman, presiding.
F.. w. Greer, who had returned
from Washington, d. c., just an
hour before the meeting, gave a
detailed account of work done there
to secure the approval of the ALL
American canal. He stated that
work on the canal probably will
start within 60 days and that the
district will not be required TO pay
anything like the first estimated
cost under the contract as voted
and that he had been promised
that Imperial county labor would
be given preference where prac-
tical in the construction of the ca
nal.
He pointed out that every men,
ber of the committee should be
proud of the part the leading DEM
ocrats of the nation had played in
bringing about the approval and
construction of the canal. 1t was

speaker said, that of Woodrow Will

TAMMANY TO
FACE BATTLE

NEW YORK, Oct. 80. UP)-New
York's mayoralty campaign enter
ed its final week today with very
little shooting reported on any
front.
Tammany hall, fighting to retain
its grip on city government, tried
logic on the voters. Mayor John
P. O'Brien, its candidate, argued
that Fiorello M. LaGuardia, fusion
candidate, and Joseph V. Mckee,
independent Democrat, both strong
ly anti-Tammany, had demonstrat-
ed their unfitness for office by
hurting undertaking charges at one
another. O'Brien pointed out that
he had made no accusations.
Political observers generally
agreed that LaGuardia still led his
rivals, but McKeen was making
strong gains. They expected La
Guardia and Mckee to run nip
and tuck when the votes are count
ed next Tuesday night with O'Bri-
en- poor third. Tammany hall,
these observers believed, was in
for the worst defeat in its history.

CHINESE POST
'Ablest Man In China Resigns
Office As Minister Of Finance
For Nationalists.
BY RAY G.. MARSHALL
jnited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press stair Correspondent
NANKING, Oct. eliminating
series of disagreements among
leaders of the Chinese Nationalist
government, T. V. Soong, Harvard
university graduate and generally
regarded as the ablest man in Chi
ma, resigned formally today as min
lister of finance.
The executive Yuan accepted his
resignation and appointed H. H.
Kung, minister of finance, to
succeed. The appointment was re-
garded as temporary move. 1t was
believed in most quarters Soong
would be induced to return to an ex-
ecutive post in the government.
Some observers expressed belief
that the resignation would produce
difficulties in connection with the
S50,000,000 loan Soong obtained
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation last June to purchase
surplus U. S. cotton and wheat.
The second large shipment of Am
erican cotton purchased under terms
of the loan, was due to reach China
this week.
Since his return from Washington,
Soong has endeavored to arrange the
sale of the cotton to Chinese mills.
Difficulties beSet his negotiations,
however, so he threatened to sell the
cotton to japanese mills unless Chi
nese bankers and mil owners agreed
to submit reasonable offers.
The first shipment of U. S. Cot
ton, totaling 1850 bales, reached
China late in September No Off
cial announcement has yet been
made as to its disposition.
Soong angrily resigned in 1881 be-
cause his government spent $45, ,000,-
600 to fight Communism with arm
ed forces. He returned to the fin
ance ministry in the spring of 1882,
and Immediately curtailed expendi-
lures for military expenses when
China was engaged in warfare with
Japan for possession of Jehol. Con-
sequently, China's unsuccessful bat
tie with Japan was financed large
ly by contributions from Chinese
business men.
Due to these economies, Finance
Minister SOong was able to an
nounce last January l that his gov
ernment was one of the few in the
world which finished 1882 with a
balanced budget.
