Geneva, Nov. 10.

The sharp rattle of ma- chine-gun fire was heard along the shores of Lake Geneva yesterday afternoon as the grim sequel to violent riot scenes.

The hall of bullets brought down thirty-three of the demon- strators, three of them being kili- ed outright.

The fateful disturbances in the world peace centre began with un apparently peaceful demonstra- tion staged is a protest against the activities of two Sociallat Jenders.

The Socialists were angrily at-i tucked and in a short time, the de- monstration had developed into a serious riot, with a series of flerce hand-to-hand fights proceeding.

The police were rushed out to quell the disturbance but found the mob too much for them. The police were overwhelmed when they were themselves attacked, number suffering injuries.

FINAL ELECTION FIGURES

HOOVER'S CHALLENGE TO LOW RECORD

THE NEXT CABINET

HE EXCITEMENT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL THE

ELECTION has passed quickly in the absence of any spirited Republican resistance to the nation-wide awing. It is believed that President-Elect Franklin Roosevelt will call a special session of Congress in the early Spring to handle special legislation for dealing with the depression and unemployment. He will have the backing of a preponderantly-Democratic Congress.

Politicians are again discussing the composition of the next Cabinet. Mr. John Davis is strongly fancied as successor to the Secretary of State, Mr. H. L. Stim- son; Mr. Owen D. Young will possibly become head of the Treasury Department; and jobs are certain to be found for Mr. Newton Baker and Mr. McAdoo. These will be the "Big Four" among Mr. Roosevelt's closest advisers.

STRONG DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS

New York, Nov. 9. Mr. Franklin Roosevelt's victory in the presidential election was the most complete for forty years. It is now definitely known that the Democratic champion will receivę 472 electoral college votes and that Mr. Hoover will secure 59.
