Hu NBA Service Kansas city, oct. 24.— a modern Rip Van Winkle is Charles Francis, 48, who just has returned to the little Missouri town of Parkville to try to pick up the threads of a life broken off twenty-two years ago. For twenty-two years Francis was a man without a past, with out a sure identity—a wanderer plopped down in a far-western city to make the best of things in any way he could. His previous existence in Parkville was as though it never had been. B Then, suddenly and by chance, he was called back to that former life; and now he is trying to bring back his memory of old days and old places, to continue a form of existence thfit suffered a gap of more than two decades. a TWENTY - TWO years ago Francis lived in Parkville, a Missouri river town a few miles up stream from Kansas City, with his wife and his year-old son. One day in 1903 he took a load of horses down to Kansas City to sell them. Arriving in Kansas City, Fran cis plunged into a cloud of dark ness. He found himself, weeks later, in Montana. He had for gotten who he was and where he came from. He does not know yet how he got to Montana. He had cn a strange suit of clothes, the labels of which bore the name of “Lee Brown.” It is believed now that he was slugged and robbed and that the injury deprived him of his mem ory, causing him to wander aim lessly west until a vestige of rec ollection returned to him. At any rate, Francis got a job on a farm near Billings, Mont., as Lee Brown. There, for twenty two years, he worked unable to discover anything about himself. nun FINALLY, not long ago, a Park ville man happened to encoun ter him in Billings. “Aren’t you Charles Francis?” demanded the man. Francis was puzzled. “Guess my name’s Brown,’’ he said. The acquaintance- notified Francis’ relatives in Parkville and some of them went to Billings. There they made sure of Francis’ identity and persuaded him to come back with them. One by one they told him who they were and recalled old inci dents of his past to him; and slowly he began to remember their faces and the events they talked about. Over and over again he would say, hesitantly, “Yes, I remember." When he first came home he met his mother. “So. you really are my mother,” he said. “I had the impression that my mother was dead, al though I couldn't remember who she was.” t s n n AT that his mother fell into his, arms, sobbing. Her tears stirred a memory that her face and voice had failed to arouse. “Oh, mother—now I remem ber!” he cried. This time his voice was sure. “It’s wonderful to find you. mother.” Then he was introduced to 23- year-old Leland Francis, his own son. “I can't realize all at once that I have a grown son,” he told the boy. “But I’ll try to get used to it. and I’ll learn to love‘you and I hope you’ll learn to love me.” There was one dear one of the old days whom Francis could not meet. His wife, who had waited twenty years for him to return, died two years ago. BAN Postoffice Messenger Is Robbed of Large Illinois Pay Rolls.

AL CAPONE IS BLAMED Slaying Reprisal for Death of Lingle, Police Officials Believe. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—Joe Aiello, one of the “Big Four" of the Chi cago underworld, was murdered Thursday night by two squads of machine gunners who directed a deadly cross-fire of bullets at him as he emerged from his hiding place. Aiello, deadly enemy of Scarface A1 Capone, was ambushed by gang ster enemies who apparently had lain for days or even weeks in an apart ment overlook in g the gang leader’s hideout, awaiting the moment they could open fire. Capone’s enemy, who, like A1 himself, was called a “public enemy” by the crime commission, fell, thirty-two bullets in his back, o.ne through his left eye, his right great toe shot away and his right leg broken in two places by slugs. Early today county morgue physi cians had counted sixty-two bullet holes and said there might be more. The murder occurred in a fash ionable residential district on North Kolmar avenue on the northwest side. The only witness was James P. Ruane, taxicab driver, who had been called to the apartment where Aiello, who, like many other gang leaders, had been a fugitive since Alfred Lingle was killed on June 9, was hiding. Burst of Flame Starts ’Works’ Ruane entered the hallway, found the bells out of order, kicked on the corridor door to notify his fare he had arrived and started back to his cab. Aiello, the fare, followed about fifteen feet in the rear. As he opened the car door, the driver heard a noise across the apartment courtyard. He turned and saw a window opening slowly. A cumbersome looking object was laid across the sill. There was a burst of flame. As the courtyard rang with the roar and the echo of machine gun fire, and the crack of splintering wood and shattered glass, Aiello staggered, shouted something un intelligible, glared for a moment, terrified, at the machine gun nest, .then turned and half ran, half stumbled, around a corner and into a narrow court. Finds Himself Trapped There he halted as if to con gratulate himself upon his escape. But his enemies had anticipated he might use just this avenue of escape. There was a second burst of fire, this one from the rear of the narrow court. The roar of the machine gun in the little inclosure was deafening. It continued for a moment, echoes followed, and the clamor died out. Deathly silence followed. Ruane ran from behind his cab. Motor cycle Policeman Charles Fuller, who lives a block away, had heard the shots and joined the cab driver. They placed Aiello’s body in the cab and took it to a hospital. Willing to Wait for Days Detectives broke into the apart ment from which the bullets had been fired. They found evidence that a group Df men had been wait ing there for days and were pre pared to wait many more days if necessary to ge f Aiello “on the spot.” Fat Roche, chief investigator for the state’s attorney, advanced a theory that Aiello was ordered killed by Capone in reprisal for the murder in June of Lingle, Capone’s friend. This, he pointed out, also might explain the murder a few months ago of Jack Zuta, Aiello’s lieutenant Glorify Yourself! Times Series Tells You How ZIEGFELD glorifies a chosen few.

End of Uprising Comes in Incredibly Short Time After Revolt at Fortress. . BY C. A. POWELL United Press Staff Correspondent RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Oct. 24. The Brazilian government was overthrown today and revolutionary forces took control of the capital. Mobs raced through the streets looting and burning within a few hours of the resignation of President Wash ington Luis. In the face of an ultimatum giving him until 10 to get out of office and save further blodoshed on the fighting fronts, Washington Luis resigned at 9:40 a. m. A military junta or committee headed by General Leite De Castro took over the reins of power. With Leite De Castro as provisional “president, it was expected congress would be dissolved and anew cabinet named. Despite the success of the revolution, the future of the country remained in great con fusion, for while the government was actually in the hands of Leite De Castro and his generals here, the main element of the revo lution, with its recognized leader, Getulio Vargas, was advancing on the state of Sao Paulo from Rio Grande Do Sul. It was believed Vargas and the revolu tionary army would march through Sao Paulo and enter the city of Sao Paulo, then ad vancing into Rio and consolidating the revo lution. While Leite De Castro played a leading part in the triumph of the revolutionaries, it was announced that General Menna Barreto would have temporary charge of the pro visional government. Negotiations were begun with rebel leaders through the nation in an effort to clear the status of leadership. The disposition of the president was uncertain. One report said he had taken refuge in the palace of Cardinal Sebastio Leme. Other re ports said both Washington Luis and Vice-President Mello Vienna were held prisoners. Several Are Injured Several persons were reported injured in the attacks on newspaper buildings, some being shot and others hit by stones. The number was believed small. After destroying newspapers regarded as pro-government, a mob of thousands marched cheering down the Avenida Rio Branco, ac claiming the success of the revolution. The end of the revolution, which started on Oct. 3, came with in credible swiftness. A long-drawn struggle had been expected and almost until the hour of its doom, the government had been issuing optimistic statements of its success on the southern fight ing front. Area Larger Than U. S. Overnight, the destinies of Brazil, a country of 40,000,000 population with an area larger than the United States, were turned over to a revolutionary leadership backed by force of arms. It is the fourth South American republic to undergo a revolution in the last few months, the others having been Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. It was the defection of the garrison at the important coast artillery post of Copacabana fortress, at Rio De Janeiro, backed by the Third regiment, that turned the tide for the revolutionaries. Leite De Castro issued an announcement say ing he had gone over to the revolution “to save needless blood shed and fighting between brothers.” Bugle Call Is Surprise There had been rumblings of trouble at the garrisons for two days, but the sharp call of a bugle at the Third regiment quarters at 2 a. m. today was a surprise for the government. The bugle was a sig nal that the ultimatum demanding resignation of the president had been sent to the palace. The ul timatum was accompanied by a warning that unless the president resigned, the heavy guns of the ar tillery would be trained on the cap ital.
