when General Sutter, impersOnated by
Hobart BoswOrth, actor, landed on the
banks of the Sacramento river and

waved whiskers of varying degrees of
luxuriousness, grown during weeks of

dressing tables. The entire city had
adopted the costume.
Only few of the men who actually

LOST MAN WINS
BATTLE AGAINST
DEADLY DESERT

This is the story of a struggle
against desert odds-against hunger,
thirst and fatigue in which the hero
finally reaches civilization. Sam Grif-
fin, deputy sheriff, this morning, who
with other officers, figured in an ex-
hautive search for the desert wanderer,
tells the story.
George Campbell, merchant Seeley,
came to the county Jail Sunday after
noon and informed the Officers he
had seen a man pushing a motorcycle
off the road in the Coyote mountain
region toward CarrisO creek. He feared
the stranger would be lost if he ven
tured very far. Officers Griffin and
Moultrup, accompanied by Mr.. Camp
bell, left Monday morning about
clock by automobile for the desert
search. The party arrived at Carriso
creek after hard ride. Moultrup and
Campbell set off down the creek bed
while Griffin waited in the car. The
wanderers motorcycle was found about
three miles north. Nearby lay his. un !
derclothing and water supply. From
that spot the tracks left the creek bed
toward the east. In the meantime
Griffin had blow out and two pune
lures in the tires and was unable to
make progress in the deep sand. He
walked to the gypsum mine and phoned
for new tires and a fresh supply of
water.
Moultrup and Campbell followed the
tracks for 10 or IL miles east over the
sandy wastes unable to find the, wand
erer. The searching party gave up pur
suit late Monday afternoon. Later
word was received at the sheriff s of
flee that Jeff Wade had arrived there
after two day struggle over the
desert.
Wade came to Ell Centre today and
told his story.
81 came down to the valley from
Julian and wanted to make short
cut, he said. Thinking the creek course
would bring me to the highway, l left
the old dirt road with my motorcycle
The machine was unable to run over
the sand successfully so I pushed it

and fatigued that l left q part of my

I wandered in sand depressions, over
long and mOnotonOus stretches of the
desert that almost drove me crazy at
times. AT night 1 could make out rays

SLEUTHS ON TRAIL
OF OTHER WEDDINGS

LOS ANGELES, May 23-Conviction
of Rudolph Valentino, now awaiting
hearing on charge of bigamy, may re-
suit in wholesale prosecutions of per-
sons who under similar circumstances,
though less conspicuously, have con-
tracted what one attorney here has hu-
mOrOusly termed "ambigamous mar
riages."
Investigators of the distrit attorneys
office went to Tia Juana today seeking
facts in connection with the marriage
of Frank Mayo, screen star, to Dagmar
Godowsky, dancer and famous pianist.
At the district attorneys office, it
was said Mayo had married four days

HARDING MAY CALL
BANK CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Suggest-
ion that an international conference of
bankers be called in Washington to de-
wise means of entangling the economic
maze in Europe, has been made to Pres
ident Harding by certain of his ad.
visers, it became known today.
While the president attitude on
such conference has not been divulg.
ed, it is thought by those in close
touch with the administration that he
will give the suggestion careful con-
sideratiOn.
The meeting will be another Wash
ington conference, with the subject
shifted from excessive ornaments to
economic ills which are burdening the
world, according to the plan of those
who are pushing the movement.
Old world politics so prevalent at
Genoa, would be missing if the confer.
ence were held here, it is argued.

Recognition Resolution to
Be Sidetracked by
Senate Chiefs
BORAH PLANS FIGHT
Infringement on Executive
Functions Argued in
Opposition

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Hard
ing administration desires the senate tC
keep its hands off the question of Rus
sian recognition, according to intima
tions conveyed to senators today.
For this reason Senator Borah 8 reso
luton putting the senate ON record as
favoring recognition of the Soviet gov
crnment, will either be rejected or ac
tion on it will be blocked, Republican
leaders indicated.
Borah is disposed to fight for show
down ON the question and probably will
discuss it tomorrow in a senate speech.
Senator Edge, New Jersey, today
brought the matter up in a speech
against the Borah resolution. He op
posed any senate action, he said, fol
two reasons
1t is not the business of the senate
to initiate such a program, recognition
cf new governments being an executive
function.
From an economic standpoint it is i'm
possible to recognize government
which denies the right of private owner
ship.
The secretary of state has clearly
stated on different occasions, in effect,
that our government can have nothing
to do with another government that de-
MES the right of the protection of priv.
ate property or the sacredness of con-
tracts.
The conference at Genoa has only
served to accentuate the determination
the Soviet government to adhere to
these false policies.
cit appears to me that through such
recognition we would be decciving our
own businessmen. To recognize the
Soviet. government under such condi-
tions is not only infamous but is de-
structive of all that Christianity has ac-
complished in the last 1000 years.
Borah broke in with statement that
the world has been misinfOrmed about
Russia s attitude toward property. She
has agreed either to return property or
other nationals, or to pay for it, he said
"Fourtccn other nations are doing
business with Russia and not losing
money! said Borah. "We are too
though we have to at through another
nation.''
Borah said the communist bugaboo
should no longer frighten Americans, as
Russia is no longer cOmmunistic to any
degree comparable to that of two OF
three years ago.

FRANCE FACES
GERMAN CRISIS TODAY

PARIS, May 23.-The French
parliament convened today to de-
termine Frances action on June 1
in case Germany does not meet
her reparation demands.
The situation was fraught with
anxiety, for it was felt France
might be committing herself to a
course from which she could not
turn back.
Premier Poincare was called upon
to state the government posi-
tion.
The chamber was to give him a
vote of confidence in his stand.
It was expected that the premier
would not relax from his fighting
attitude, expressed Sunday in a
speech at Strasburg, even though
approval Of this by the deputies
would commit him to 60 on alone
against Germany and risk rup-
ture with Great Britain.

Nothing is ever finished-done.
