A CRY in the night Colic! No cause
for alarm if Castoria is handy.
This pure vegetable preparation brings
quirk comfort, and can never harm. It
. is the sensible thing when children are
ailing. Whether it's the stomach, or
the little bowels; colic or constipation;
or diarrhea. When tiny tongues are
coated, or the breath is bad. Whenever
there's need of gentle regulation. Chil
dren love the taste of Castoria, and its
mildness makes it safe for frequent use.
And a more liberal dose of Castoria
is always better for growing children
than strong medicine meant only for
. adult use.

San Salvador is
Scene of a Rising
and One Killing
Little Central American Republic De
poses Its President Treas
ury Minister Slain
Mexico City Mexican aviation
headquarters received a radio report
Thursday from San Salvador that
President An urn Araujo had heen de
posed, and a military directorate of
three men was in control of the coun
try. Elections would be held soon,
probably within forty-eight hours,
the report said.
The message to the Mexican avia
tion company said the minister of the
treasury was ki'led when he refused
to "accept terms." Apparently it
referred to Finance Minister Fran
cisco Jose Espinos.
"There were no casualties among
Mexican aviation' company employes.
Please adivse Weft Indies Oil com
pany. New Vork.: all -employes arc
safe." the message said. "The revolt
broke out at l' o'clock Wednesday
night. The minister of the treasury
was killed. Will keep you advised
about plans. Suggest planes should
not be sent unless ve can okay. The
American minister seems to think it
will be possible to resume service
Saturday."
Heavy fighting took place in the
streets of San Salvador, it was said.
The situation was said to be "very
grave" in spite of the fact that !
state of seige has been in efleot since
July.
President Araujo was said to have
ordered that no airplanes should land
at or depart from the city until the
movement had been brought untii
control. The Pan-American Airways
accordingly rearranged its schedule
so that its ships would pass over the
city.
The republic of Salvador. 140
miles long and sixty miles wide, has
had a troubled history since it gained
its independence from Spain in 1S21.
Late in 1927 the government put
down an uprising and executed two
army officers. In 19 29 a plot to as
sassinate President Bosque was
thwarted and the ring leaders' ar
rested. Disturbances said to have
been inspired by communists occurred
in 19 3o. Senor Araujo was elected
early this year to succeed Dr. Iios
que. It was understood Hie national
congress would meet Friday to le
galize the new grrvernment. The new
-egime was given an oration in a
Jemonstration of citizens who were
nassed for blocks shouting enthus
iastically. One report was that Pres
ident Araujo had fled.

THTED PARTY HAS HOPES
Omaha Frank Elbridge Webb.
San Francisco, farmer labor presi
dential candidate in 192S. Tuesday
predicted that the farmer labor par
ty "will have twenty-five members
in the next congress and thus have
the balance of power."
Webb made his prediction upon ar
rival here to address a unity conven
tion of various political parties. The
convention. Tuesday night remained
largely an informal meeting of far
mer labor party leaders altho there
were representatives of both the li
beral j;nd liberty parties present.
"If President Hoover is renomi
nated by the republicans, a third
party can carry the election if it
can find an upstanding, courageous
leader." Webb predicted. He will
address the convention Wednesday
night.
Frank Lowson. Washington, D. C.
campaign chairman of the farmer
labor party, said the next national
convention would likely be held in
Omaha.
Dr. F. M. Hall. Neligh, Nebraska
farmer-labor leader, Tuesday night
was named president of the conven
tion and Kaymrmd Ileach, Pleasant
Dale, was named secretary.
REPUBLICANS TAKE HAND
Washington A report casting
doubt on the legality of John H.
Pankhead's election as a senator
from Alabama, caused republicans to
consider a move to prevent him from
tking office. Chairman Hastings
submitted his flindings to his elec
tion subcommittee which cited thou
sands of law violations in the elec
tion and suggested the possibility of
fraud. Bankhead made the race
against former Senator Hefiin, who
contested the result.
Pointing out that they had ample
precedent in the Smith and Vare
casos, republican leaders who had
planned to let Bankhead take the
oath immediately began to discuss
moves to prevent it. Frank L. Smith
of Illinois and William S. Vare of
Pennsylvania, were denied seats In
1927 after charges of excessive cam
paign expenditures.
Proposals to deny Bankhead his
seat, if they materialize probably
will take the form of a resolution to
bar him for the time being. The sen
ate would vote upon it. The possibil
ity of a fight over organization of
the senate added interest to the re
publican conference about Bankhead.
The party margin is close and in
the event of division among the re
publicans, his vote might count heay

NO ACTION ON WAGE CUT
Chicago Western railway execu
tives, after an all day meeting, an
nounced Monday night they would
follow the policy of eastern roads and
! withhold expression on the wage re
duction problem until after the meet
ing of the railway labor executives'
association here Dec. 7 and 8. The
proposals of cuts among employes
who have wage agreements with the
carriers were discussed freely at the
meeting, a spokesman for the execu
tives said, but no stand was taken.
At the December meeting, the labor
executives are scheduled to discuss a
voluntary cut of 10 percent for a
period of one year. Should they de
cide against it and adhere to their
proposal of a six hour day instead,
it is expected the carriers will ap
peal to the board of meditation and
arbitration.

delegation plans to march on t lie op-

session, to present demands fr un

The Idaho senator issued state
ment on the march at; or warning
Herbert Benjamin, sp "k-sman for
the groun. against attempting to lead
the d monstrators to the sona'c f:o::r.
Benjamin had raid the rttempi would
be made, but Borah after informing
him the only way to gain admission
to congressional floors was to get
elected to the house or senate, warn
ed: "If I were you I would leave that
out of my program."
Telling Benjamin the demonstra
tors had a "perfect right to come to
the capital to petition tie govern
ment." Borah said all recognized the
seriousness of the economic situation
and "there will be a determined ef
fort here in Washington to help
those who are in distress."
Right to Visit Washington.
From a democratic senator also
came the assertion that the gr uos
trekking toward the capital "hve
a right th come to Washington the
same cs anyone." Tlmims of Okla
homa said this and added that the
delegations should be "treated with
every consideration" a? long as they
"behave themselves."
He said similar views, were held
hv at ieist three f his democratic
colleagues" Wheeler of Montana,"
Costigan cf Colorado and Black :f
Alabama.
Aside from its bearin-j cn the dem
onstration Monday, Borah's state
ment held unusual iniercst because
of the demands that will inevitably
arise in congress for federal aid to
the unemployed this winter. Tho ad
ministration has insisted that tho
needs of those out of work be cared
for by the states end municipalities.
There are those in congress, however,
who believe this will not be sufficient
and that the government will have
to step in.
Warning tne approaching marchers
that disturbances they caused would
hurt their cause. Senator Borah said
he had no sympathy "with those who
hasten to denounce as disturbers all
those who protest against the pres
ent situation."
"The man or woman who wants
work and who is tinaLle to find it."
he said, "must enlbt the sympathy
and consideration of every one."
"Keep your heads." he told the
delegation which will march on eapi
tol hill Monday.
In tho meantime, police authori
ties stressed that their reception of
the groups will be watchful but con
siderate. State Journal.
