Next it was ABC's turn. Last week in the Almendares district of Havana two U. S. tourists discovered the body of Policeman Francisco Rafael Cepero with his ear cut off, his throat slashed, a bullet in his temple. Tied to his right wrist was a blue tag inscribed: "The ABC will mete out this death to all long-tongued persons." Long-tongued Cepero's crime had been to shout a warning to Chief of Police Major Arsenic Ortiz (who got his present job after being accused with two others of 44 political murders in Santiago) when three...
Unstubbed Toe. Still having a "glorious time," Governor Roosevelt moved off into the Northwest where he promised, if elected, to call a conference to stabilize silver prices. Another week of Democratic campaigning ended without serious mistakes. The G. O. P. had hoped to tag their opponent as a radical on the strength of his western speeches but so far he had said nothing wild or woolly. Democrats who had tried to dissuade him from swinging around the circle lest he stub his toe last week privately admitted that to date their fears were groundless. Their candidate was "getting away with...
...milestone last week was the I. C. C.'s approval, with modifications of the Big Four's own program. In its 1929 plan the I. C. C. had ordered a fifth East ern system to be composed of the Wabash, the Seaboard Air Line and a rag-tag-bobtail lot of small lines.

The Seaboard was left to the South, the other lines were parcelled out among...
Across St. Louis's twisty Free Bridge last week went a rag-tag troupe of some 300 men clad in odds & ends of martial raiment-an old overseas cap here, a dirty olive drab tunic there. A few carried pails in which to make coffee and stews, a few carried clubs. The latter served as "military police." They were supposed to suppress vandalism, prevent radical speechmaking, see that none of the company begged or got drunk. One man carried clippings to show that before the Depression he was an Omaha broker who was ordered to pay $45,000 alimony...
...impeccable style but her specialty of pitching dead to the flag had not been working on Wentworth's sloping greens. She braced herself, squared her match on the 15th, won the next two holes. Mrs. Opal S. Hill, 40, of Kansas City was also a game tag-ender. Molly Gourlay had gone out in 38 to put her two down. Mrs. Hill came home in 39 with the match squared. Rain or shine, the team score thus stood 5½ to 3½, first victory for a U. S. ladies' team invading England...
