OF BACKGROUND
OF REVOLUTION
Explains the Politics Behind
Insurrection in Guatemala
Already Brewing When
He Was There.
R. B. Howell, general manager of
he Metropolitan Water board, de
icribed yesterday some of the back
ground of the Guatemalacn revolu
;ton which has resulted in the pro
claiming of Carlos Herrera presi
dent ot the republic nd the besieg
ing of Guatemala City, the capita!,
by forces of President Estrada
Cabrera, military dictator of th?
country for 22 years.
The revolution was brewiusr six

Union Outfitting Co.
Hoosier Club Plan Makes It
Easy to Pay for Cabinet
on Household Allowance.
A Beautiful Hoosier Kitch
en Cabinet Given Away
Friday Evening, April 16.
Spring and summer to the
average woman brings visions of
weary hours in a hot, stuffy,
kitchen, but not to the efficient
home-maker who has installed a
time and labor saving "Hoositr','
Kitchen Cabinet in her kitchen.
"Hoosier" Cabinet Week at the
Union Outfitting Company brings
a special Club plan. Just the
mere payment of ONE DOLLAR
delivers a "Wosier" to your
home thii a DOLLAR a week
for a few weeks and the
"Hoosier" is yours forever.
If you own an old-fashioned
cupboard or Kitchen Cabinet, the
Union Outfitting Company will
allow you $5.00 to be applied on
the purchase of a new "Hoosier"
Kitchen Cabinet.
You know how stimulating and
refreshing a cup of coffee is
after one is downtown shopping.
A dainty luncheon is being
served during the demonstration
and you will have an opportunity
to get a "Hoosier" free of charge.
The Union Outfitting Company
is known as the "Home of Home
Outfits," as they make special in
ducements to young couples just
starting housekeeping. 'No trans
action is ever . considered , com

was open talk everywhere of armed
rebellion and the air was charged
with plot and counter-plot. Presi:
dent Cabrera was encamped at his
home at La Palnia, on the outskirts
of Guatemala City, surrounded by
5,000 troops and reported watfthed
over day and night by a personal,
bodyguard of armed foreigners. So
numerous have been the plots
against his life that he is said not
to have slept twice in succession in
the same bed during the last 20
years.
'Cabrera was legitimately elected
to the presidency 22 years ago. He
fcrced his re-election and then prac
tically set up a dictatorship, ignoring
the constitutional provision that no
president should hoH office more
than two terms.
"The unionism party, headed by
Herrera, who now has been pro
claimed president, had as its plat
form free speech, a free press and
restoration of the right of habeas
corpus abrogated many years ago by
President Cabrera, There seemed
to be strong feeling against Cabrera
in the capital."
Fails to Substantiate Charge
Against Wooden Legged Man
John Hiscr, 2614 North Thirteenth
venue, who has one eye and a
wooden leg, and John Anderson,
U01 Ohio street, appeared in po
lice court yesterday accused of under
mining the Illinois Central railroad
tracks which caused a washout near
the Illinois Central bridge during
the recent- flood in the '-bottom
lands."
The complaining witness was Mrs.
Dora Cleveland, Tenth and Grant
streets. She said she saw Hiser
undermining the track with a
"sawed off" billiard rue.
It developed that Hiser was only
on a Sight seeing trip and that he
curried the billiard cue for a cane,
j hey were both discharged.

yesterday whin he observed at the
court house political picture gallery

ture on the card of J. P. O'Hara,
democratic congressional candidate.

years, during which he was in mili
tary service.
