CHICAGO WITNESS MISSING
Chicago. John Van Pelt aged
handyman at the Wynekoop mansion
and believed by the attorney for Dr.
Alice Wynekoop to be an important
witness in the operating room mys
tery, was missing. Dr. Wynekoop,
62 year old physician goes on trial
Jan. 4, accused of the slaying of her
pretty daughter-in-law, Rheta, 23,
wife of Earle Wynekoop. Attorney
F. J. Tyrell filed a writ of habeas
corpus demanding that the police pro
duce Van Pelt. Tyrrell said he had
been informed that Van Pelt, who
recently had been living with a
friend, was called from the house a
week ago Sunday by two men who
refused to enter the building, he had
not been seen since, the attorney said.
Police disclaimed knowledge of Van
Pelfs whereabouts. . '
Buenos Aires. The Argentine gov
ernment announced the suppressing
of a revolutionary plot launched con-
certedly before dawn in four prov
inces by extremist elements among
the nation's million radical voters
disfranchised since a 1930 revolt.
Private reports from Rosario, in Santa
Fe province, said firing was renewed
during the morning between rebels
and loyal forc.es , at Rosario, where
twenty persons were slain. About
100 persons, including many soldiers,
were hurt, and 500 were arrested.
Rebels claimed they controlled most
of the police stations in Santa Fe,
but Bueno3 Aires, where all police
men and two infantry regiments were
held In readiness, and other cities
were quiet. . Government officials an
nounced that 'attempt3 to disturb
the order in diverse locations, espec
ially Santa Fe province, were quell
ed without major effort." A resump
tion of a state siege, last invoked
with the discovery of an anti-govern
ment plot a year ago, was consid
ered. The day's disturbances coincided
with a decision of the national con
vention of the radical party in Santa
Fe to refrain from participating in
March parliamentary elections. Thd
party contended that the voting 'will
be "manipulated" and that radical
candidates would be defeated, altho
Presient Justo promised fair elections
and observers believed ths radicals
might be able to elect twenty-five
deputies. In such an event, it was
said, the gradual rehabilitation of the
party, which has virtually been barred
from elections for three years, would
begin.
Disturbances in Rosario, Santa Fe,
Carcarana, San Jeronimo, Canada De
Gomez, Santa Anna, Paso Libres, San
Luis, La Plata, Arellanada, and
Buenos Aires, affecting the provinces
of Santa Fe, San Luis, Corrientes, and
Buenos Aires, broke out at 3 a. m.
Armed groups attacked postoffices,
police stations, arsenals, coastguard
stations, and fi rehouses in some cities,
particularly Rosario, but in Buenos
Aires and elsewhere police frustrated
the insurgents' efforts by making ar
rests before the outbreaks. Political
circles and public opinion here be

easy suppression.

LANDLORD WOUNDS WOMEN
Oakland, Calif. Two women were
shot, one perhaps fatally, and Jack
Kutsch was held by police after he
allegedly admitted turning a rifle
upon them because they failed to pay
$22.50 rent on a cottage he had let
lo them.
Mrs. Adelia Wilmot and daughter,
Mrs. Lois Maceto, 22, were the vic
tims. Physicians said Mrs. Wilmot
probably would not live and Mrs. Ma
ceto was in serious condition.
Officers said Kutsch had rented a
cottage to the rear of hi3 home to
Mrs. Maceto and her husband, Victor
Maceto, a jobless man, and had been
attempting several days to collect
back rent. The Mactto family started
moving out of the cottage Tuesday
and Kutsch, police said, warned them
not to take their household goods
away without paying him. Kutsch
displayed the rifle, members of the
