TACOMAN HELD ! FOR ALLEGED
 WIFE MURDER
Other Woman Accuses Rancher of Staying Mate
 with Axe DuringQ Quarrel

TACOMA, Wash, April 19.-Ae- cused by his parmour. Elmer Me Cune, 30, rabbit rancher, is being held here for the alleged axe mar der of his wife. Police, who said McCune faced intensive grilling were told of the alleged killing by Ruth Dunlap, 36, formerly of Se- attle, who was jailed with McCune two days ago, and who admitted living with the man since last No vember.
 Authorities said the woman gave them signed statement to the effect that McCune told her of the asserted staying and where the body would be found.
 Insisting she believed McCune killed his wife in self-defense, Miss Dunlap's reputed statement re- lated how the man told of domes- tic quarreling, of striking his wife on the head with small axe after she struck him with stick. He tried two hours to revive her, then, becoming frightened, buried her, the reputed statement said.
 Hunt for Mrs. McCune began two days ago when Mrs. Mae Bull ger of Orting, her mother, asked aid of authorities in following up the report of an Orting youth that he saw her grandson, LeRoy, seven- year-old son of the McCunes, near Puyallup. Both the boy and his mother were supposed to have been in Colorado.

TACOMA, April 19. = Deputy Stewart Elliott said this afternoon that McCune confessed in a writ ten statement that he slew his wife with an axe during a quarrel and buried the body where it has been found. She apparently died as the result of a fractured skull.

COUNCIL WILL PLAN LIQUOR
 CODE TONIGHT
Report of Krause's Special Committee Probably
 to Be Heard

Discussion of municipal liquor regulations probably will be the main item of business as the City Council meets at o'clock tonight at the City Hall.
 Last week, in 8 special session, the City Fathers decided, unani- mously, that the city administra- tion should stand with the Terri torial Liquor Board in the matter of enforcing regulations. However, in order for policemen legally to bring liquor offenders before the City Magistrate for trial, a new code of local regulations must be drawn.
 The special qualification commit tee, appointed by Mayor Isadore Goldstein last week, consists of the following Councilmen: c. E. Krause, chairman; Ralph Beistline, Henry Messerschmidt, and Mayor Gold stein, ex-officio member.
 Committee May Report
 This committee has met during the week and is expected to present a report tonight. What action the Council will take is not known, but 1t probably after discussion, will draw up rough draft of new municipal liquor code.
 Two other items of considerable local interest-the opening of bids on portion of the city's Public Works Administration loan street paving project, and consideration of the Northland Transportation Company's proposed move to City Dock-will not be considered to- night.
 Can't Open Bids
 The bids, re-advertised for after first ones had been found to be too high, can not be opened until next week. The Northland proposition is pending the arrival of company officials tomorrow on the North Sea from Seattle.
 Tonight's session will mark the third time councilmen have sat down in official session and the fifth time, including informal ga- therings, since the election of April 2.

Price Says Cabmet Shake-Up
 Would Not Surprise Capital
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

n iC~Qcdl O1 ItOooCFCit tdbiiiCe 1P pointments would not surprise the Washington politicians who usually are in the know.
 It is expected generally that Postmaster General Farley will get cut after Congress quits, devoting himself to organizing the Democrat ic Party for next years campaign but that is only part of the story.
 The approach of another Presi- dential year, coupled with the de- velopment of real opposition on Capitol Hill, has brought home the comparative weakness of the pres ent cabinet lineup from the stand point of practically political influ- ence.
 Former presidents frequently have brought into their cabinets political leaders who could control almost beyond question certain blocs of votes in Congress and in political Conventions For instance the ten cabinet members sometimes virtu- ally have had in their pockets the 20 Senate votes from their own states.
 Nothing like that exists today.
 Six Were Politicians Of the ten in the Roosevelt cab , inet, only six came into office with what might have been called an outstanding polit al background, and only four of these six had re- gently been anything like a politi- cal boss of his own state.
 Farley is one of the six, but even in his case one of the two New York Copeland-often has been off the new deal reservation. Nor can Farley control Tammany.
 Another is Secretary Swanson, but many thought he had con- pletely lost the control he once held over the Virginia Democratic or ganization, and was on the verge of becoming lame duck, when he was elevated to the Navy appointment.
 A third is Attorney General Cum mings. However, in spite of the power he once wielded in Con- necticut, he was in the minority faction of the delegation at the 1892 national convention.
 The fourth is Secretary Hull who, like Cummings, is former Demo- cratic National Chairman. Of late years, on the other hand, his con- trol over Tennessee politics has been of doubtful force.
 Situation Discussed
 When the administration came to it's big test on the work relief bill, cabinet members made check up.
 They found almost every Senator from every home state of a cabinet eer voting against the President. And they admitted there was noth- ing they could do about it.
 One report heard on Capitol Hill and believed, in view of the source-was that this situation was discussed at cabinet meeting.
 Anyway, some of those who have heard the cabinet lineup talked over in very high quarters, believe some of the present cabinet mem bers are headed for promotions" to the diplomatic service and else where, to make room for successors who will be listened to by larger segment of Congress.
 All such suggestions are denied at the White House, where it is in- sisted that if any changes take place, they will be just in the nat ural course. Nevertheless, the poli- ticians are watching for-and ex- pecting-

HOT CONTEST
Is EXPECTED
Old Rivalry IL Keyed Up
To Keen Pitch For
Annual Tilt

A slam-bang battle between an
serial-minded crew OF Harlingen
high Cardinals and a flock of
Brownsville high Eagles who viii
stress their running attack will b
served up for the fans on Tucker
Field Thursday afternoon.
The Cardinals are smarting I'M
Ger two successive defeats handed
them by the Brownsville contingent
ano thcy are coming here deter
mined % win the Turkey Day clas-
SIC. Rivalry between the clubs is at
a keen pitch and judging from their
records they will be well matched
when they square off Thursday az
ternoon.
Last season the Eagles invaded
Harrington and were fortunate 70
come home on the long end OF a
TO count. The year before the
locals defeated the Cards by one
touchdown on Tucker Field.
The Aguilas will be handicapped
through the loss OF Co-Captain
Louis Fernandez. one OF the best
running backs in the district and a
smart quarterback, and through
the illness OF Billy McDavitt. per-
hapS the fastest dash man in the
Valley. Fernandez was dropped
from the squad recently after ne
had been accused OF smoking.
This turn OF events left the Eagles
without a punter-usually their
strong point-and Albert Perez, hard
working end. has been shifted into
the backfield 10 do the booting for
the Aguilas. The locals have had an
abundance OF good wingmen this
season IN Perez. George Krausse.
Gus KrausSe, "Scrappy" Schrieber.
Raul Garcia and others. Shifting
Perez into the backfield will not
likely weaken Brownsville's wing
play, but he Is having TO work over
time In getting familiar with his
new post.
The Aguilas have been streSsing
pass defense this week. feeling
certain that the Cardinals will fiji
the air with passes. Brownsville's
defense against aerials has been
weak all season. The Cardinals have
slapped back supposedly superior
opponents this year through Judi
cious use OF the forward pass.
Local fans are inclined to dis
count the dope which seems TO favor
Brownsville. Although the Eagles
beat Edinburg 2l-0 and Harrington
got a 1918 tie with the Bobcats.
the fans say II doesn't mean a
thing. They point out that Bob
Brumley, all -distrtct back, played
against Harrington and did not get
into the Brownsville game. They
also point out that San Benlto
trimmed Brownsville and lost by
two touchdowns 70 Harrington.
The game will get under way on
Tucker Field at 3 D. m.
