WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. OCTOBER 21, 1925 GOVERNOR SMITH PLANS TO RETIRE i ALBANY, N. Y., Get. 20.—Gov-' ernor Smith reiterated today that he would retire to private life at the end of his present term as chief executive of New York state. “A man cannot go on indefinitely ' in this job,” he said. Reminded that he had been quot ed once as saying that any man would be a fool who did not accept the presidential nomination if it was tendered to him, he sjx,V.‘ "That is true. But here is a great difference between acepting a nom ination and going after it. The only ' chance I would have to get the pres- [ idential nomination would be when I all the leaders were convinced that I I was the only man who could win. Any one would be foolish to go about the country talking with an eye on the nomination more than two years before the nomination is made.” FRENCH TROPS PUT DOWN DRUSE REVOLT ; I DAMASCUS, Syria, Oct. 21 —• I French troops have succeeded in crushing the most serious revol’! started by Druse tribesmen since France’s occupatio nos Syria under' the League of Nations mandate. The trouble was not put down however, before a pitched battle had been I engaged in and an entire quarter of the City of Damascus had been vir tually ruined. Artillery, tanks and armored cars were used by the French. . DAYLIGHT RAIDS AROUSE GOTHAM NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Two bold! daylight holdups upset the hopes of the police that thei rround-up of a dozen members of an alleged gang would, materially inprove the local crime situation. Six heavily-armed men raided the automobile in which a salesman for Larter & Son, Maiden Lan e jewel ers, was carrying four suitcases of gems valued at $200,000. In the sight of scores of passerbys they escaped. This occurred at 84th street and Broadway. About the same time in West 102 d street a cigar store was held up by two rob bers who took $l5O from the safe and cash register. If the man who stole a dozen elec tric fans in St. Louis is caught he will be sent to the cooler. TAX NOTICE The 1925 Tax Books are now open.
