CHICAGO. May 15 "The city with
the ornamental front door" is the
newest sobriquet pinned on Chicago.
It dates largely from the ' erection
athwart the rew Michigan boulevard
"link" bridge, of a great, ornamental
white office building of 3a stories
nicknamed because of its eccentric
lines and unequal-angled appearance
the "shimmy building.
The "shimmy" building is the key
stone in the arch of the city's oraa
mental front door. Visible for man
miles, both from the harbor and from
the north, south and west, it marks
the convergance of the Chicago river,
the water gateway to Chicago where
Fort Dearborn once stood, and the
famous boulevard that now connects
the north and south sides of the city.
Fifty thousand automobiles, it is
conservatively estimated, pass the
"shimmy" building daily. It is not
to be wondered, then, that the plans
of the Chicago plan commission un
dertake to nake the spot, favorored
by traffic of land and water, the mu
nicipal bcauly spot of the world. Km
bellishment of the bridgeheads, with
treatment in historical style, is the
first step authorized in this develop
' ment. Beaut.fioation ot the surround
I ing propertv and of the river front
itself will follow.

Conservatives Will Test
Strength Against Radi

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
MEXICO CITY, May 15. The Mo
relia tragedy, in which a sc ire of
per"a lut their lives in a conflict
between 0,itr;.s, poli?.j i radi
cals, and inv;j:on of t!io legislative
halls here ly protesting r.idi. a'
have set the stae for a contest o
strength in the chamber of deputies
between the Partido Liberal constitu
tionalists, dominant political party,
which claims President Obregon as
its leader, and the radicals, which for
the moment are united.
Stormy sessions are predicted this
week and the battle is scheduled to
start tomorrow when the Partidos
will seek a majority vote for their
resolutions adopted in secret caucus
last night calling for the resignations
of Celestino Gasca, governor of the
federal district, Luis Morones, gov
ernment purchasing agent, and Col
onel Raygadas, inspector general of
police.
The Partidos have also decided to
request the grand, jury to order an
Investigation of Felipe Ctirrillo and
Antonio Diaz Soto y Gama. radical
deputies, .who are alleged to have-i
been instigators of the invasion on
rriday of the chamber by a group
carrying the red flag of communism,
For the moment the Partidos, hereto
fore recognized as extremely liberal,
are considered conservatives and to
their ranks have come Catholics and
numerous Independents, comprising,
according to the Partidos, a majority.
Opposed are the several radical
groups.
The Partidos. after caucusing last
night, asserted they had the power
to oust Gasco, Morones and Rayga
das. Gasca, as the governor of the
federal district, is an avowed radical.
Morones is the leader of labor feder
ation and Raygadas is described' as
the tool of both."
The Morelia incident of Thursday,
in which Isaac Arriaga, head of a
commission in Michoachan. was one
of the victims, has brought to a cli
max the ill-feeling apparent since the
agrarian bill was introduced ten days
ago. . The radical group which ' in
vaded the . chamber Friday asserted
It came as a protest against Arriagu's
death but when the tribune was for
cibly occupied the speakers Indulged
in general invectives against all who
opposed this program.
There were frequent vivas" for
Bolshevism. While the radicals were
still in the chamber the Partido lead
ers consulted President Obregon who.
however, in general statements to the
press has not indicated that he
wishes to clash personally with his
adversaries. The president was in
clined to believe that the clash in the
streets of Morelia was due to the re
fusal of the Catholics to disperse af
ter being ordered to do so by the
police.
Meanwhile, advices from Morelia
show that the city is still under vir
tual martial law but that the inter
ment of the victims had proceeded
without incident. Resentment by the
Catholics is taking the form of
avowed intention to force the resig
nation of the governor of Michiocan.

presidential appointment.

SPOTS ON UN
U AURORA
BOREALiS-SAY
Electrical Disturbance Will
Pass Within 48 Hours r
Effects Still Noted In
East
Republican A. P. Leaied'wireJ
WASHINGTON, May 15. Inter
ruption of telegraphic communica
tions by electrical influences, if due to
the presence of spots on the sun, will
pass away within 48 hours in the
belief of naval observatory officials.
The present spot or group of spots,
estimated by naval observatory of
ficials at 94,000 miles in length and
21,000 in latitude, was nearest the
earth las night and today, through
rotation - of the sun was moving
away.
These officials said that leaving
out of consideration the decreasing
effect of the spots on electrical cur
rents on the earth through the usual
breaking up of the spots, the regular
rotation of the sun would soon carry
the spots so far from earth as to
make their influence negligible.
The theory that the aurora borealis
or northern lights result from sun
spots was advanced by Dr. jl a. Bra-
snear. late Pittsburg astronomer.
The theory has never' been definitely
accepted, navaly observatory officials
asserted, but the fact that spots on
the sun usually are accompanied by
electrical disturbance has resulted In
almost general acceptance of the
theory .
The spots now present on the sun
and which w ere visible to the naked
eye today with a smoked glass, were
first photographed at the naval ob
servatory last Monday. The spots,
according to Dr. G. H. Peters, were
about one and a half to two days
old. The following day the photo
graphs showed the spots to be much
agitated, the gazeous vapors of which
they are composed resembling a
cyclonic storm. Dr. Peters said. Yes
terday's photograph, taken about
noon, showed the spots to be near the
solar meridian. Naval observatory
officials said the presence of such a
large group of spots at this time was
most unusual.
Disturbance Continues
NEW YORK. May 15. Electrical
influences exerted by the aurora
borealis or northern lights believed
to be caused by an. unusually large
sun spot or spots continued today to
play havoc with telegraph traffic
throughout the United States.
Beginning Friday night wire chiefs
reported this natural phenomenon
had injected extra voltage into their
wires "causing earth currents" and
interrupting traffic. The same con
ditions continued throughout Satur
day and. became increasingly intense
Saturday night, causing one of the
severest disturbances gnown in 30
years.
For more than an hour before mid
night Saturday, nearly every tele
graph wire leading from New York
and Chicago was out of condition.
Ocean cables also were slightly af
fected. Curiously, however, the dis
turbance seemed to strengthen wire
less signals. Intensity of the dis
turbance was lessened today.
Border Cities See Aurora
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15. Last
night's aurora borealis was visible as
far south as the Mexican border, said
reports today from Boulevarde, San
Diego county. The display was seen
at San Bernardino and reports over
railroad wires said it was especially
brilliant over the Mohave desert.
There is no record of an aurora ever
