Delmonico, tall, thin, pale, with
dark chin heard, reSembled Philip
II of Spain in gloom and stately
dignity.
All was quiet within his austere
precincts. Punishment from Del

by the great world of central New
York City" Punishment ensued
upon loud talking, profanity or re-
fusal to pay a check.
The house had an undertaking

CUBAN REGIME
IS PERILED BY
Havana RIOTS
Fall of San Martin Reign
Appears Inevitable to
Citizens.
BIZ United Press

HAVANA. Cuba Nov. 3.-Down-
fall of the regime Of President Grau
San Martin appeared inevitable to-
day as Havana Seethed with dis
order, bombingS, shootings and po-
litical unrest.
More than a score of bombs have
been exploded and hundreds of shots
fired in the last twenty-four hours.
Rifle and pistol firing in the center
of Havana intermittently between
speeding automobiles and troops
guarding the streets kept the in
habitants on edge.
The people seemed heartily sick OF
the state Of Semi-anarchy here and
in the provinces, and were in nervous
fear of a serious uprising. There
was no accurate check on the num-
Der Of casualties, but numerous per-
sons were reported injured, and a
policeman. Jesus Garcia, who was
to have been married Saturday, died
from last nights bomb explosion at
police headquarters.
Night resorts, including the we'll
known Sloppy Joe's, mostly we're
closed shortly after midnight and
the city has lost much of its air of
gay night life. An air of defeat pre-
vailed and many persons were ask
ing American newspaper correspond
ents, when will your marines land?"
Labor unrest and sabotage we're
reported, also, from various points
in the provinces. Troops patrolled
the streets of Cienfuegos, where con-
sumers were on strike against using
electricity, demanding 40 per cent
rate reduction.

ECONOMY PLAN
DRAFTED FOR
PARK SYSTEM
SaIIee Suggests Closing of
All Golf Links During
Winter.

Approval of an economy program
which will save taxpayers several
thousand dollars annually will be
sought from the park board by A.
c. Sallee, park superintendent, next
Thursday.
Included in the program is the
closing of all golf courses during
winter months, renting Of Coffin
course as a private concession, and
closing of neighborhood community
houses.
In addition, the board will be
asked to relinquish its maintenance
of several boulevard streets to the
board of works, and to turn over
outlying streets to dle county high
way department.
Action on the municipal golf
courses was suggested recently by
The Times in a seres of articles on
the city budget
Woodstock Pays $4,000
The city now is obtaining $4,000
annual revenue from rental paid by
the Woodstock Club, and similar
arrangement could be worked out
for Coffin, it is said, especially since
the course is regarded as one of
the Sportiest in the country.
Some time ago. the board approved
an order closing South Grove course
during the winter, with Riverside to
remain open the year around.
A petition bearing several hun
dred names has been received ask
ing for retention of winter playing
at South Grove, Mr.. Sallee said
but investigation shows that most
OF the signers were nontaxpayers,
caddies and concessonaires.
Check on Players Made
A check on players last Sunday
Will be presented to the board by
Mr.. Sallee to show that an INSULT
Gent number of players use the
winter course to justify its con-
tinuance.
The move to close the community
houses, in which heat, light and
water, as we'll as maintenance, are
supplied by the city, probably will
be opposed by civic organizations,
Mr. Sallee admits.
He pointed out, however, that the
majority of the organizations which
use community houses for meetings
have urged reductions in city ex-
penses.
Although the cost of maintaining
the boulevards and outlying streets
eventually will be borne by taxpay-
ers, the relinquishing of the re-
sponsibility to the works board and
county will reduce park board ex-
penditures materially, Mr.. Sallee
said.

CRESCENT CITY, Fla. Dec. ID.
(UP). At least eight school chill

when a school bus in which they
were going to school was struck
by an Atlantic Coast Line fast
moving freight at crossing.
Heavy fog obscured the view
of the train and it was said that
H. D.. Niles, driver of the bus
drove onto the tracks without see

man told the United Press that .
children were instantly killed and
three more died in a hospital,
later.
Their bodies were so badly man.
gled Johnson said, Identification
would have to be made by parents
through the clothes the children
wore. :
The rear end of the bus was
caught by the train and forty
children in the bus screamed at the
impact. Their bodies were strewn
along the highway, some scream
ing in pain before the ambulance
arrived.
The scene was equally pitiful at
the hospitals where parents sought
to determine if their children were
killed, injured or had escaped be-
ing hurt in the accident.
Elsie Gordon, Is, Trop Upton,
a., and two children of Mrs. Jen-
ME Smith were killed. There were
three children Of Mrs. Smith on
the bus.
The accident occurred at a
crossing about four or five miles
south Of Crescent City.
At that point the railroad and
state highway No. 3 parallel each
other about 100 yards apart. The
driver apparently did not see the
north-bound freight on account Of
the fog.
The 40 children of the bus
screamed as the impact Of the
train hit the bus. The screams of
some were cut short, however, as
they were killed instantly.
Niles. the driver. was cut AMI
bruised but not seriously injured:
He suffered most from shock AMI
was not able Immediately to give
much of a story of the tragedy.
He was near the end Of his run
when the accident occurred.
johnson said Niles had driven
the route many times and knew
the road almost by heart. The fog
was blamed for the accident.
Ambulances and doctors were
sent out from Palatka and Deland.
Some of the injured children also
were taken to the hospital at De-
land as the local hospital was
overtaxed. Johnson did not know
how many were sent to hospitals.
