guarded secret, F. E. Williamson,
President of the Burlington railroad
made announcement today of three
new trains which his road will place
in service this month to operate be
tween Chichgo and principal mid
west commercial centers.
Answer to Hoover ?
President Williamson was non
committal when asked whether tht
inaugural of the new flyers has been
hastened as the Burlington s answer
to President Hoover's call upon big
business to give public evidence of
the country's strong position in the
economic scheme of things, aveerin
merely that the Pullman Company

cause the de luxe new tra?ns are to
be ready in time for presentation
as a Christmas gift to travelers and
especially because their installation
at this time comes as a fitting memor-
ial to mark the HurlingtOn S !Ulll

Mr. Williamson described the new
trains as the "last word" in modern
transportation. "There is one term
that fittingly sums up the character
of the magnificent equipment, said
he, "and that is royal splendor." "It
applies alike to the specially de-
signed dining cars, the modern flare
and consummate artistry exhibited
in the decorative treatment of the
Pullmans, new style mid-train salon.

are some of the new features in tra-
vel luxury which will delight the eye
and ease the body in these newest
and finest of trains.
Ak-Sar-Ben Explained.
The Burlington chief explained
th,at the name Ak-Sar-Ben was given
to the Omaha flyer in compliment to
the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, a state
wide semi-official Nebraska organiza
tion which has functioned for thir
ty five years in promoting the de
velopment of the cornhusker state.
The name of the train spelled back
ward reveals the name of the state.
The three new trains involving
eight complete sets of equipment ag
gregate more than sixty Pullmans
said to be the largest order of equip
ment ever produced by the Pullman
Company for any single railroad.

l Mexican Move
Made Against
Bull Fighting
DePaty Requests President to Take
Leadership in National
Reform
Mexico City A step toward sup
pression of bullfighting in Mex
ico has been taken here in a more
concrete manner than
previous at
tempts to abolish the national
"sport" of the country have been.
Many already see the handwriting
on the wall "for hiillfiE-htlnc In !Uev-
ico, forecasting eventual displace
ment by baseball, football and other
forms of athletic entertainment now
firmly rooted in the country.
The latest move toward a ban on
bullfighting in the fact of wide
spread opposition is made by Dep
uty Fernado Sotelo Regil of Cam
peche, who believes that a law
should be passed prohibiting the
timeworn Sunday afternoon spec
tacles in the largest bull arena in
the world.
In his argument against bullfight
ing, Senor Regil declares that "it is
a spectacle highly inconsistent with
civilized nations." He continues to
state that it is his intention to bring
the measure before the Chamber ol
Deputies so that "some legal means
be found which will do away with a
performance in which the principal
factor is the public sacrifice of ani
mals." The measure is dual in that
it calls for the abolishment of" both
bullfights and cockfights.
Senor Regil argues that "only in
three, perhaps four countries of the
world" bullfighting is allowed. Senor
Regil in taking the question up with
President Portes Oil addressed to
him a communication in which he
said:
"I request of you most respectfully
that in line with the same moralizing
objective you are employing in com
bating the use of alcohol, you under
take, before your administration
comes to an end, an energetic cam
paign for the abolishment of bull
fighting, cockfights, and other spec
tacles at which it is pretended to
amuse the people with the torture o
animals, which is prohibited in al
most every country in the world
being allowed in two or three na
tions."
The deputy refers to the fact that
the Revolutionary Government at its
beginning (meaning after the down
fall of Porfirio Diaz in 1910) prohib
ited bullfighting for a time and that
it was again permitted "when cer
tain politicians' of influence in past
administrations converted themselves
into bullfighting promoters."
He regrets that the new penal code
does not include a prohibition of
these "barbarous fiestas." It is Senoi
Regil's belief that the President can
ameliorate the situation "even if only
in indirect way" by preventing en
trance into the country of bullfight
ers, prohibiting the horseplay at the
fights, and other features connected
with the spectacle.
Governor Saves
Man Condemned
to Electric Chair
Reprieve Granted Only Few Minutes
Before Time Set for Execu
tion of Convict.
Ossining, N. Y. Fifteen minutes
before the time for preparation for
execution in the electric chair for the
death of Mrs. Emma Harrington,
Frederick W. Edel was granted a
reprieve Thursday night until Dec
30 by Governor Roosevelt.
The governor telephone Warden
Lawes of Sing Sing prison, that he
had granted the reprieve on repre
sentations by counsel for Edel that
they had discovered new evidence
The warden communicated immed
iately with the Rev. Dr. Anthony
Peterson, protestant chaplain at the
prison who was in the death house
and informed Edel.
'Thank God." Edel exclaimed
when Dr. Peterson told him of the
governor's action, "I'm tickled stiff.
The governor did the right thing
Thank God, chaplain. Let us pray."
Mrs. Harrington, a former actress
and the wife of Guy Harrington, a
stock actor formerly of Binghamp-
ton, N. Y., was found slain in her
upper west side apartment Dec. 24,
1927. A short time later a fur coat
and 'some letters addressed to Mrs.
Harrington were found in a room in
New Haven, Conn., that had been
occupied by Edel.
Three months later Edel was ar
rested in St. Paul, Minn., in connec
tion with alleged postal frauds and
federal authorities surrendered him
to New York police. He was arraign
ed here April 9, 1928, on a charge
of murder and entered a plea of not
guilty. His trial began Feb. 19, last.
Edel failed to testify at the trial
and did not call any witnesses in his
behalf.
The jury after deliberating four
and one-half hours, convicted him of
first degree murder on the first bal
lot. He was sentenced March 14, last,
to die the week of April 22, but the
sentenced was automatically stayed
by an appeal for a new trial, which
was denied. State Journal.

DISCOVERS GERM OF FLU
Chicago Prof. I. S. Falk of the
University of Chicago, told the Bac
teriology club of the university
Thursday that he has succeeded, af
ter more than a year of experiment,
in isolating the germ which causes
influenza. His announcement was de
clared by leading Chicago physicians
to be one of the most important con
tributions to medical science in re
cent years.
Professor Falk said his researches
had resulted in isolation of the par
ticular form of streptococcus infec
tion that causes influenza and dis
covery of a culture which had repro
duced the disease in small animals.
Professor Falk is thirty years old
and is an alumnus of Yale. He has
been a member of the University of
Chicago faculty six years.
Group to Stabi
lize Business is
Chosen in East
Julius H. Barnes in Making Known
Personnel of Committee Says
Conditions Good.
Washington A group of twenty
men notable in American financial
and commercial fields was named
Thursday to constitute an executive
committee for carrying out business
stabilization projects authorized by
the national business survey confer
ence called in Washington last week
by President Hoover.
Julius H. Barnes, chairman of the
conference and of the committee in
nouncing the selection, said that
nothing of an emergency character
exists in the present business situa
tion to require undue haste" in fur
ther procedure. He added that the
committee would meet soon and that
it would possibly be assisted by a
larger committee, with fifty or sixty
members representing an even larger
sector of the American business field.
Men Are of Prominence.
Members of the executive group
selected are:
Owen D. Young, president of the
board of the General Electric com
pany. Myron C. Taylor, chairman of the
finance committee of the United
States Steel corporation.
Thomas W. Lomant of J. P. Mor
gan & company.
Clarence M. Woolley, chairman of
the American Radiator corporation.
Henry M. Robinson, president of
the Los Angeles First National Trust
and Savings bank.
Walter C. Tagle, president of the
Standard Oil company of New Jer
sey.
James Simpson, president, Mar
shall Field & Co., Chicago.
C. F. Kelley, president, Anaconda
Copper Mining company.

tional automobile chamber of com
merce, Detroit.
John G. Lonsdale, president,

Stuart C. Cramer, director, Cotton
Textile institute, Cramerton, N. C.
Charley Cheney, president Nation
al Industrial conference board, Man
Chester, Conn.
Silas H. Strawn, chairman of Mont
gomery Ward & company.
Harry Chandler, publisher. Los
Angeles.
Chairman Barnes said that study
of the data submitted to the nation
al business conference "indicates that
there is nothing to cause further tim
idity or hestitation but, rather, war
rants confidence in the early stabil
ization of businessactivity without
justifying excessive optimism before
the close of the test period of the
next few months."
He indicated that the larger sec
ond committee would undertake study
and comparison of conditions and in
dustries thru representative trade or-
anizations. but that the executive
group named Thursday had been pur
posely made small enough to take ac
tion expeditiously.
Meanwhile Secretary Lamont saia
a preliminary survey revealed prompt
and efficient mobilization of effort to
expediate President Hoover's appeal
for co-operation of governors ana
other public officials to strengthen
the stability of business.
The daily average of building per
mits in thirty-seven states, the sec
retary said, totaled $21,722,000 dur-
ng the first week of December, an
ncrease of over $4,000,000 over the
corresponding week of 1928 when the
total was $17,026,000. During the
last week of November contracts
awarded amounted to $21,466,000.
