His natural bent for a theatrical career mani- fested itself at an early age and his first appearance on the stage occurred when he was about 14. After several years in~-vaiudeville he went into musical comedy as a comedian and dancer in the “Wom- an Haters’ in 1918. His wife, with whom he played in vaudeville, is known on the Stage as Alice Stewart. There are three daughters, 9, 7 and 4 years old. Effortlessly, despite his broad- Shouldered bulk, he danced and pattered with his agile feet almost by the half hour in his last musi- cal comedy, “Sons o’ Guns,”’ keep- ing up a steady fire of soliloquy or badinage as he hoofed. A natural wit, Donahue not only invented most of his own comic dialogue but wrote in the same humorous vein for the magazines, where he had begun before his death to win a name with his memoirs and with his “Letters of a Hoofer to His Ma.” F Donahue was booked to appear with “Sons o’ Guns” for the cur- rent engagement at the Shubert Rialto Theater. When he was compelled to withdraw his place was filled by Jack Haley. SHARP EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS FELT IN PORTUGUESE TOWN Two Disturbances Recorded at St. Louis U., One 312 Miles Away. By the Associated Press. CAMINHA, Portugal, Oct. 1— Sharp earthquake shocks which lasted several seconds frightened the residents of this village today. No material damage and no loss of life were reported. An earthquake of mild intensity, about 312 miles from St. Louis, was recored by the seismograph at St. Louis University during a seven- minute period, beginning at 2:41:52 p. m. yesterday. The earthquake was either in an easterly or wester- ly direction and apparently was strong enough to be felt though not destructive. Another tremor of the severe type was'recorded by the apparatus at 4:46 p. m., with indications that the shock occurred between 6000 and 7000 miles from St. Louis.

LATTER HAS MADE NO INCOME RETURN Penalty Fixed by Law In- clude? Five Years in Pen- itentiary — Underworld Chief’s Offer Rejected. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Oct. 1.—Uncle Sam made an indirett thrust at “Scar- face Al’’ Capone, Chicago’s supér- hoodlum, with arrest yesterday by Federal agents of Jack Guzik, Capone’s gambling house collect- or, on a warrant charging Guzik with evading income taxes amount- ing to $220,000. The warrant charged Guzik failed to report a total income of $970,069, which the Government has traced to his bank account for 1927-28. He paid taxes on only $18,090 in 1927. and $24,000 in 1928. The Government has also traced large sums of this money directly to Capone in the samme years, and Capone is expected to be brought to accéunt, as he made no return at all for those years. Capone Has No Bank Account. In fact Capone has never made an income tax return, nor has he kept a bank account, but a recent investigation by special income tax examiners assigned to Chicago has disclosed that Guzik and certain others did most of the gang lead- er’s banking for him, ‘and =the agents are working on proof that is expected to result in the in- dictment of Capone for tax evasion. It is known that the ar- rest of, Guzik is only the first step in a movement by Federal! officials to confront Capone with the law against tax evasion. The penalty upon conviction of evading income taxes is a fine of $10,000, or five years in the penitentiary, or both, together with heavy penalties based on a percentage of the tax due. - Conviction . and confinement of Guzik and Capone in the peni- tentiary would break Capone’s hold on the gang that now domin- ates the underworld of Chicago. At present Capone has a monopoly of the rackets that terrorize hundreds of small merchants, and, since the exodus of Moran gangsters follow- ing the murder of Alfred J. Lingle, Tribune reporter, Capone’s crowd has dominated the North Side gambling houses, from which he collects tribute, as Moran once did. Basis of Warrant. The warrant against Guzik is based spécifically, on collections of large sums Of money from gamb- ling houses in Cicero operated with Capone as a dominating partner. The profits from these places found their way into Guzik’'s bank account and were divided wiht Capone. The Government expects to prove that Capone’s share, together with slot- machine revenue and income from other sources, gave Capone himself a total income of about $500,000 in 1927-28. Capone has known for months that he and Guzik have been under investigation by the Federal agents, and the gang leader has offered to make a belated return, which | has been rejected. Guzik is the fourth member of the Capone gang of hoodlums and gunmen to be named in income tax charges in the present investiga- tion, which is being conducted by A. P. Madden, agent in charge of the Chicago Intelligence Unit, and Frank P. Wilson of Baltimore, spe- cial agent assigned to Chicago to work on the Capone gang. Ralph Capone, brother of “Scar- face Al,” already has been con- victed and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary for evasion of taxes, and Frank Nitti, reputed business manager of the gang or- ganization, has been indicted, but is a fugitive. Guzik pleaded not guilty and was released under $60,000 cash bond, 8000 REPORTED MASSACRED BY BANDIT ARMY IN CHINA All in Lihsien, Kansu, Said to Have Been Slain Except Girls Carried Away. PEIPING, Oct. 1.—Advices fe- ceived here tell of the massacre of 8000 persons by an army of ban- dits at Lihsien, in Southern Kansu. The town was attacked four weeks ago, following a siege of months. The bandits are said to have killed all the inhabitants ex- cept some girls they carried away. Se Reports this summer have told of frequent bandit ravages.

MEETING Eject Insurgents in Colorado Society, Ousted After They Had Filed Charges. By the Associated Press. LONGMONT, Colo., Oct. 1.—By virtue of police aid, peace reigned today at the annual convention of the Colorado Women’s Christian Temperance Union. The lull fol- lowed efforts of insurgents to un- seat Mrs. Adri’ Hungerford as president at a stormy session which police were called to quiet. Those close to the situation, how- ever, predicted a renewal of hos- tilities. The storm broke yesterday when Mrs.. Hungerford announced an executive session would be held. She demanded that the room be cleared of all but accredited dele- gates. The insurgents, who pro- posed Mrs. F. I. Smith of Denver to succeed Mrs. Hungerford as president, refused to leave until a report of the official board, which met Monday night, was made public. The report was aid to have dealt with the case of five insurgents ousted from the W. C. T. U. last winter after they made charges that Cottage Home, a refuge the organization con- ducts fér unwed mothers, was mis- managed. When the insurgents refused to leave yesterday someone called police and the officers finally ejected the rotesters. +‘ What transpired at e closed meeting was not made public. Later in the day a memorial service was held. DETROIT TRYING TO FIND WORK FOR 25,000 MORE MEN Shortening of Hours In _ Indus- tries Suggested by Mayor's Employment Committee. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 1.—De- troit industrial executives, co-op- erating with Mayor Frank Murphy in an attempt to relieve unem- ployment conditions, were working today on a rearrangement of schedules which may provide work for 25,000 additional men. This plan was announced by G. Hall Roosevelt, banker, - who is chairman of Mayor Murphy’s spe- cial employment committee. The rearrangement calls for a shorten- ing ‘of hours and of the working week, Roosevelt said. The Mayor and members of his committee conferred yesterday with 20 of the chief industrial leaders of the city, including Edsel Ford, Walter P. Chrysler, Charles T. and Lawrence P. Fisher and _ others high in the automobile world. Registration: of approximately 79,000 unemployed persons at 26 stations established by the Mayor gave first-hand’ information to the committee as to the situation in the city.

TO'USE SUN RAYS INSTEAD OF BATHING Advocates Eating and Sleep- ing Face Downward on Log, Going Without Clothes. Park G. Hammar, retired paint manufacturer, today announced completion of his plans for a prac- tical test of his long-life theories, (contained in a book which he pub- lished more than a year ago. Hammar has just returned from Paris, where he aroused much comment by advertising for Rus- sian emigres to enter a colony ‘or his proposed experiments in diet, posture and exercise, as a means of rebuilding the body and pro- longing life. Paris and London newspapers dubbed him “Mr. Me- thuselah.”’ He made known today, for the first time, the result of his nego- tiations in Paris. He said he had taken as his collaborator, and co- subject with himself in the experi- ment, Dr. Paul Gregorievitch Kouchakoff, a Russian bacteriolo- gist now employed in a laboratory in Nice. : Dr. Kouchakeoff’s wife, formerly Miss Daisy Macgregor Murray, daughter of the late Sir Robert and Lady Murray of Scotland, and her sister, Miss Helen Mary Mur- | ray, will algo take the body re- building course, Hammar § said. Hammar will be 67 years old next Christmas, Dr. Kouchakoff is 49 and the women are younger. | Hammar said he had leased a villa at Montreux, Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Leman, known also as Lake Geneva. This villa will be the scene of the long-life experiment, which will follow a course of preliminary laboratory experiments conducted by Dr. Kouchakoff with the help of the others. Hammar, long a student of diet and physiology, has no medical or scientific’ degree. Several Months Preliminary. “Tt expect to leave early in No- vember for an indefinite stay in Switzerland,” Hammar said. “Dr. and Mrs. Kouchakoff and Miss Murray will join me at Montreux, according to our present plans. The preliminary study and experi- ments will take several months, perhaps a year or more, before we begin the actual test of the plan for reversing the ageing process, and living longer and better. “There is one difficulty which I hope may be straightened out by that time. The Swiss Govern- ment does not permit Russians to enter Switzerland. Having refused admittance . to citizens of Soviet Russia, the Government naturally feels itself bound also to’ exclude the Russian emigres. Dr. Koucha- koff is one of the emigres, having escaped from Soviet Russia in 1919. However, he is not politically mind- ed, and I hope the Government will decide that it can admit him as a scientist, without regard to his political affiliations. “Dr. Kouchakoff,"’ Hammar con- tinued, “studied in Berlin under Dr. Wassermann, famous as the discov- erer of a much used sero-diagnostic protess. He served in campaign against cholera and small pox in Russia, and was physician and sec- ond in command of the Sedoff Arc- tic expedition. When the leader, G. L. Sedoff, died in his dash for the Pole, early in 1914, Dr. Kouch- akoff took the expedition back, and received the rank of Civil Major. He was in wartime medicgl serv- ice, and because of his knowledge of the Arctic Sea, he was placed in charge of the shipping of rifles from Northern European ports to Russia, a service for which he re- ceived the Cross of Viadimir. He received the rank of Colonel, and was placed in charge of wireless stations in Arctic Russia. Not Permitted to Practice. “Since leaving Russia in 1919, Dr. Kouchakoff has lived in France where he married Miss Murray, who in wartime was commandant of Carriden Auxiliary Hospital, near Glasgow, her sister being her assistant there. . Under French law, ‘he has not been permitted to prac- tice medicine except among his own countrymen, most of whom are des- titute. So he accepted employment jin u laboratory, where he performs assigned tasks through the day, and where at night he works on ex- periments of his own. “His studies have for years been directed toward prolongation of human life.

GEORGIA NEGRO S TAKEN FROM INL, LYNCHED Accused Slayer of Police Chief Had Just Been Re-|: turned for Trial—Earlier Mob Routed. By the Aasociated Press. CARTERSVILLE, -Ga., Oct. 1.— A band of nearly 60 masked men. in automobiles took John Will Clark, Negro, from the county~—jail here early today an@ hanged him to the: crossbeam of a telephone pole in the Fairgrounds a mile away. Clark, charged with the mur- der of Chief .of Police Jenkins, was removed from the custody of the three Deputy Sheriffs on duty at about 1 o'clock. .At dawn local police reported finding the body hanging by a rope from the pole. A previous effort to lynch Clark was made two weeks ago. National Guardsmen were calied out and he was then removed to Atlanta for safe keeping, but returned yester- day for trial. The lynching party came to the jail in nine or 10 automobiles. Ten of the men entered the jail office where the deputies were on duty, took the key to Clark's cell from Deputy A. J. McCoy, unlocked the cell, seized the Negro, and de- parted. “It was all over in five min- utes,” Me Coy said. “We had no time to draw our guns, the™\ men overpowering us as soon as they entered the office.’’ Clark was taken a few hours after his attorneys had appealed to the higher courts for a change of venue on the grounds he could not obtain a fair trial here. Chief Jenkins was killed on the night of Sept. 5 in a scuffle with two Negroes who had halted their automobile in front of his home and whom the Chief said were creating a disturbance. He was shot with his own pistol. Clark at that time was an escaped convict. Officers said he confessed to kill- ing Chief Jenkins, but said the shooting was accidental during the THOMASVILLE, Ga., Oct. 1. — Lacy Mitchell, a Negro, who tes- tified recently in court against two white men charged with attacking a Negro woman, is dead—the vic- tim of masked men who entered his home Saturday “night and shot him.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Oct. 1.— Miss Bernice Jennings, young Springfield aviatrix and Frisco Rail- road telegrapher, was killed in- Stantly, and Fred Crane, mechanic at Springfield Airport, was fatally injured today when Miss Jen- rings’ plane crashed about 100 yards from the landing field. Crane died an hour after the acci- dent. Miss Jennings, who recéntly passed the private pilot license tests, was making her third trip up this morning when the plane’s motor apparenily died while she was attempting to turn and nose dived into a field. ' Miss Jennings was 28 years old. Crane was 18. He was employed at the airport as a service man. Crane had gone up with Miss Jen- nings for a ride and was not an xxperienced flyer himself. | She took her first plane ride at Carthage in June, 1929. Twice each week she drove to Carthage and took lessons from O. L. Car- rothers, a pilot there, finishing her flying course here. Born at Carrollton, Ill, she was orphaned as‘a small child and reared by an aunt, from, whom she! tried to conceal knowledge that she was flying. Miss Jennings went to work for the Frisco when 15 years old as a clerk and later became a telegrapher. She was the only woman relay operator for the Frisco system and held an unbeat- en record of 92 messages an hour. She had managed stations at vari- ous points between Monett and tt. Lwuis.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—Broker- age accounts of General Sessions Judge Amadeo ‘A. Bertini, sub- penaed by Special Prosecutor Hi- fram C. Todd in the extraordinary grand jury investigation of judicial scandals, it was learned yesterday, show that Judge Bertini, in a period covering his appointment and election last year, withdrew street firms bonds estimated to be worth more than $100,000. Judge Bertini was appointed Oct. 17 last by Gov. Roosevelt, follow- ing his resignation by Tammany Hall, to fill the vacancy caused by the forced resignation of Judge Francis X. Mancuso. He was then nominated for a full term and elected Nov. 6. The Bar Associa- tion’s failure to indorse Bertini caused some comment at the time. At the same time it became known that the special prosecutor's office had arranged with the Em- pire Trust Co. to be notified if the safe deposit box.in that bank rent- ed’ by Supreme Court Justice Joseph F, Crater, now missing, is opened. Securities in Crater’s Box. Friends of Justice Crater are re- ported to have ascertained that the deposit box contains securities thought to be worth about §$§75,- 000, but no’ clews regarding his disappearance. Todd announced about two weeks ago that the appointment of Judge Bertini would be investi- gated and that in this connection Budget Director Charlies L. Koh- ler, Tammany leader of the Tenth Assembly District, would be called. Kohler is credited with backing Judge Bertini’s appointment. When Kohler was called before the grand jury he refused to waive immunity, following the example set just before him by John F. Curry, leader of Tammany Hall. Judge Bertini could not be reached last night. He returned Monday from a trip to Europe. Upon landing he denied charges that his appointment involved any financial tranzaction, Action Up to Governor, ~ While the bond withdrawals have been known ‘to to the special prose- .cutor’s ‘office for more than a week, it is understood no further action has been taken pending the decision of Gov.
