THREATEN G. O. P. REVOLT IN SENATE WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—A revolt by the La Follette group of independents against the Republican organization of the next senate may result from the party movement to elect Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa as presiding officer, it was learned today. The naming of committee memberships and distribution of capitol patronage hang in the balance as LaFollettes adherents are counted in the bare republican majority. The LaFollette group protests against the election of Cummins as presiding officer as long as he continues in the chairmanship of the Interstate Commerce committee with its control over railroad legislation. Cummins who has been president pro tem of the senate for years, is now drawing the $12,000 salary of the vice president, left vacant by Mr. Coolidge's elevation to the White House. The post, besides providing social advantages, places its occupant above the cabinet in political importance. Friends of Cummins are fighting for his election. The LaFollette group, however, is reported to be threatening warfare unless Cummins either resigns his chairmanship of the Interstate Commerce Committee or else declines to be a candidate for the senate presidency. If Cummins does resign the chairmanship, Sen. LaFollette would be his successor under the senator's seniority rule and this fact provides the motive for the insurgency. Administration leaders are known to be proposing a compromise between Cummins' friends and the LaFollette insurgents. This would be the election of a compromise candidate to the coveted office. The independents are urging Senators Norris, of Nebraska; Capper, of Kansas; or McNary of Oregon as their candidates while the so-called "regulars" are supporting Senators Curtis, of Kansas and Jones of Washington. Curtis will probably be the most acceptable candidate to both sides. LINER IN DISTRESS NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—The United fruit liner San Gil, with passengers on board, is in distress off Old Providence Island, 170 miles east of Bluefields, Nicaragua, according to two urgent radio messages picked up today by naval communications here. The vessel is believed to have struck a reef. The San Gil left Boston, Oct. 14, bound for Havana, Colon and Port Limon. Several steamers have altered their courses and are rushing toward the stricken ship, according to wireless information received here. The first message was received at 5:15 this morning and was signed, "Mathers, captain." The second was couched in urgent language and broke off in the middle of a sentence, leading to fears that some disaster had befallen the ship. "Weather bad, pounding heavily. Expect to put passengers in boats," one of the messages said. KEY WEST, Oct. 22.—"We are launching lifeboats," was the report received here today from the United Fruit steamer Sangil. The boat, bound from Havana to Colon, is breaking to pieces on a reef off Providence Island, according to messages received here. The steamers San Blas and Pastores are hurrying to the scene of the disaster. SAN GIL ON REEF BOSTON, Oct. 22.—According to advisies received by the local office of the United Fruit Co., the steamer San Gil is on a reef off Providence Island, near Colon. Two of the company's steamers are standing by and no fear was felt for the safety of passengers and crew, according to Boston officials. A strong northeast gale was blowing, and it was said passengers and crew would be removed if their position became precarious.

TEAPOT DOME NAVAL RESERVE DRAINED WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. — The Teapot Dome naval oil reserve in Wyoming has been subjected to a loss by drainage, and will produce "but a fraction of the oil expected." a government commission of geologists reported today to a Senate committee investigating the lease of the tract to Sinclair interests. The geologists, James O. Lewis and Fred G. Clapp, declared the Teapot Dome reserve will produce not more than 24,000,000 barrels of oil, which is 110,000,000 barrels less than the previous lowest estimate. They also predicted that developing the fields would not prove attractive unless oil prices materially increase. APPEL GOES EAST LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22. — Charged with embezzling $250,000 from his asserted victims in Chicago, Charles Appel, father of Lila Lee, film actress, was en route to the Windy City today seeking to make a settlement with his customers, according to Deputy Sheriff J.

Falkenstein's Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday The Final Days of the Semi-Annual Sale of Silks Falkenstein's BAVARIA'S ACTION PROMISES BATTLE By PRITZ EDERT, JR. Son of the President especially for and copyrighted 1923 by I.N.S. BERLIN, Oct. 22.—Bavaria's action is tantamount to a declaration of war against the German state. The rame Bavarian leaders who have been bragging of the restoration of order and unity in the state, try to disrupt the state because the Berlin government dismissed a mutinous general—Von Lossow. What would the same Bavarians and their reactionary friends in the German reich say if not General Von Lossow, but General Mueller, (rechsewehr) commander in Red Saxony, had been the offender? If General Van Mueller had refused to obey the minister of defense Gesaller's command to proceed ruthlessly against the Saxon radicals? If you remember that Von Kahr himself (head of the Bavarian government) is a product of the movement of General Van Luettwitz, who made him Bavarian premier during the Kapp rising in Berlin in 1920. Now this same Von Kahr leads a mutinous general Von Glossow to support the reich's soldiers to break their military cats of allegiance. Imperial Germany knew only one answer to such mutiny—the firing squad. Unfortunately the reich is not entirely free from blame for the present Bavarian attitude. RHENISH REPUBLIC MOVEMENT SPREADS MAYENCE, Oct. 22.—The Rhenish republic movement spread today. Two secessionists were wounded here when shots greeted the entrance of Rhineland troops into Mayence at 4:30 o'clock.

DEFINITE SEARCH FOR TRAIN BANDITS ASHLAND, Ore., Oct. 22.—The Siskiyou train bandit hunt became today a definite search for the three d'Atremont brothers of Eugene, Ore., and Barnard Lachance, whom So. Pac. officials insist are the men who dynamited the train and killed four members of the crew. Descriptions of Roy, Ray and Hugh D'Atremont and LaChance have been broadcast and authorities are hopeful the quartet will be picked up within a short time. An express money order found in the discarded overallis pocket picked up near the crime was said to be the clew which pointed to the D'Atremont brothers. The slip was found by Professor Heinrich, criminologist of the Univ. of Calif. He advised Dan O'Connell, chief special agent of the So. Pac. last Thursday who dispatched special agents by auto from here to Medford to catch the northbound Shasta train. The owner of the money order receipt was identified and it was learned that he and three other men were employees of a lumber company near Silverton, Ore., until last August. Paul D'Atremont, father of the three brothers, has been brought here and is said to have rendered valuable information which may result in the capture of his sons. He stated his sons had not been home since Oct. 1 and that he has not heard anything from them. Evidence has pointed for some time that the bandits came from the north.authorities stated. The detecnatic battery, copper wire and dynamite used to blow up the mail car were stolen from the Oregon City Construction Co.. The bandits are believed to be somewhere along the coast of No. Calif., or So. Oregon.

The federal and Prussian state governments have issued a joint invitation to the Rhineland parties to meet representatives of the German state in the federal building at Cologne to discuss the proclamation of a Rhineland republic. The reich officials want the new republic to be a member of the German confederation of states.
