One can delve almost anywhere into
the life of Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales
and pull out material to tickle the
palates Of adventure-loving readers.
Yet Mexico's strong man" shun-
ned the aura of romance and thor
oughly detested publicity. Many
think he would have been a powerful
figure in any country.
He had his bitter enemies-hosts
of them. And he had his warm
friends. It is safe to say that for
every person who called him a
scoundrel there was one to hail him
as a savior of his land.
Think Of his life as book and
turn to a few chapters before the
last. He bears the signs of age, has
already been President, Is still the
guiding will. WEAKNESS and illness
peer out through the severe lines of
his massive face, but one perceives
that the iron determination Is not
gone.
He is aboard troop train thunder
ing north to put down another re-
bellion. He wears boots and a khaki
shirt and is poring over maps. Thou
sands of Indian soldiers are riding on
the roofs of box-cars that string out
behind. Inside are horses, replacing
the women who usually accompany
the soldiers to war. Gales will have
none of it this time. Horses are more
in demand.
A newspaperman thinks something
should be done to stop band OF
rebels which is advancing down the
coast He is himself conducted into
the presence of the general.

visitor, "what about the column driv-
ing down the coast? Aren't you going
to do anything about that?"
He is favored with q look Of infinite
scorn. That's not a column" says
the strong man dryly. 'It's disor-
ganized mass. Well take care Of II

Only a few days before all the
country seemed to be springing up in
arms against the government. Those
we're sleepless hours for Mexico City.
It was pretty nearly hemmed IN and
grim faces haunted Chapultepec
Castle.
Then, from his little house at the
bottom of Chapultepec Hill, came the
former President. Getting sworn IN
as minister was q detail. A steel
gray mustache and o confident smile
came to inhabit the former home of
Maximilian.
Things started taking a different
turn almost at once. Rebels holding
the Port Of Vera Cruz suddenly found
counter-rebellion in their ranks. The
new uprising triumphed and declared
for the government. Generals began
wiring In assurance Of their support.
One in the north, however, said mere
ly that he was sending troops to the
capital.
Were these troops friendly2 Gales
guessed quickly. Almost before the
country was aware, he had started
three armies against them. They
evacuated Monterey, they evacuated
Durango, they evacuated Torreon, and
they were caught and beaten near
Jiminez, in the State Of Chihuahua.

ID. c. RENT CONTROL
bill IS INTRODUCED
Capper Measure Adds Rate
Provision and Other
Changes.

The first Senate move toward re-
vival of rent control legislation in
Washington came today when Sena-
tor Capper, Republican, Of Kansas,
introduced the Ellenbogen House bill,
with some additional provisions.
The Ellenbogen bill is slated for con-
sideration in the House Monday. and
Capper said he would wait to see what
action the House takes before asking
the Senate District Committee to take
up his measure.
The most important change in the
Capper bill is an added provision to
the effect. that If rentals, after the
passage of the bill, exceed the rent
as Of January /, 1884, tenants would
not be obligated to pay the amount in
excess of the rent on that date pend
ing q determination by the rent CON-
mission. His amendment would de-
clare the January !, 1884, rents to be
considered as "prirna facie, just and
reasonable" but the landlord would
be entitled to ask for rent commits
sion hearing, after which the tenant
would be obligated to pay the amount
the commission fixed as reasonable.
Another change provides that one
Of the three rent commissioners would
be a representative of labor and one
a representative of tenants.
The Ellenbogen bill starts out by
declaring the existence of an emer-
gency based on the activities of the
Government in Washington in fight
ing the depression. The Capper bill
provides a broader definition in justi-
fication of rent control by citing the
exclusive legislative power given to
Congress In the Constitution to
govern the District, and providing for
termination of the rent commission
when the President finds the emer-
gency to be over.

The charge was made by Walter

EXPERT SEE
RECORD VOTE
INN0VEMBER
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

A record-breaking total Of from
100000 to 100000 votes in
the November Presidential elect
ion was forecast today by William
Tyler Page, former clerk Of the
House and an authority on elect
ion statistics.
Many factors, Of which growth
in population is but one, will
cause voters to trek to the polls IN
unprecedented numbers, and Page
estimates the vote cast for PreSi-
dent will be from 100000 to
5000, 10000 more than in the 1882
election.
Interest Increases
Mr.. Page said:
"WhiIe the interest in the
election was great four years
ago, it appears that it will be
greater this year. First voters
will be rounded up as they never
have been before.
II look for . heavier vote in
the South, where the vote In
elections usually is light because
the election is One-Sided. The
New Deal has aroused wide
spread interest in the South
one way or the Other-which un-
dOubtedly will result in . larger
vote. The desire Of the South
to base representation in the
Democratic convention on the
basis Of votes, since the two
thirds rule has been repealed, Is
another factor"
Page estimated that the poten-
tial vote Of the nation is 10000
900. Even on the basis Of his
estimates many millions entitled
to cast their ballots will not
do so.
Lemke . Factor
Four years ago the total vote
cast for President was S9,700,000.
Roosevelt's electors received a.
S21,S57 votes to 15,761,841 for
Hoover. Minority parties cast
slightly more than 100000
votes.
The entrance of Representa-
tive william Lemke into the pres
idential race as the candidate Of
the Union party may result in
a sharp increase in the vote cast
outside of the Democratic and
Republican parties.
In the last election eight par
ties competed. One Of the fea-
lures Of the vote in 1882, Page
said, was the increase in the vote
Of the Communist party to 102,-
99l, more than double its pre-
viouS presidential vote.
