CUNO MAY ASK U. S.

OCCUPATION OF RUHR
Many Germans Fear Upris-

Berlin, Jan. e.--Chancellor, Cuno, it
10 understood in official circles here to-
day, will make direct appeal to Presi-
dent Harding to prevent the occupation
Of the Ruhr region by the French ten
days hence. 1t is feared, however, that
the time left Is too short for the United
states to bring pressure to bear on the
French government and that the occu-
patton OF the Ruhr cities of Essen and
Boehini at last will become fact.
Prominent Germans questioned on
this subject today said that they would
heave q sigh of relief If the French
carried out their threat. This, they
declared, had been repeated 30 often
that it had become a nightmare to many
people In this country.
"L<t US see what the French are
able to do with the Ruhr once they have
seized it, said the director general OF
a German.Ameriean shipping line. ali
the French actually occupy the Ruhr
cities and especially il they use negro
troops to carry out their plans, il is
feared that there will be trouble among
the working men in the mines and steel
mills. Already the Communists have
called q conference for Saturday al
which it will be decided what action
the radicals will take IL the French in.
wade the Ruhr region"
In Paris the general belief seems to
be that work will 60 on as usual even
after the occupation. There are many
of officials indusf riaiists and othars 70.

Bullet Hole in Jaw and
Crushed Skull Tell
Mute Tale
ny Press staff Correspondent

CALIPATRlA, March 6.--After a
two-days' search of the sloughs AMI
tule swamps in this vicinity, the
body of Jess Smith, the Young col
ored man who left his home Friday
afternoon saying he would return
shortly, was found about two miles
south Of Calipatria on ditch bank.
His head had been crushed with
what might havebeen the flat of an
axe and he had a bullet hole through
his jaw.
An old rifle which he had carried
from home was lying across his
chest, clutched in the nerveless fin
gers, and cooked as if ready to de-
fend his life, but it had not been
fired. An empty quart bottle of
mOOnshine' was near him. 1t is
understood that some sort of part
nership affair existed between Smith
and some Hindus, and it is said
that he went. to their camp to col
lect some money.
Smith was married and leaves a
wife and two children.
A deputy sheriff from FL Centre
came up with Coroner Lyons, and
assisted by Charles Verge, local
peace officer, is investigating the
crime.

HARDING TO STUMP WEST FOR court
Biggest Lettuce
Shipment
Today

Today's shipment of lettuce
will break all existing records
for one day shipments, according
to G. w. Runge of the Southern
Pacific Company, who states a
total of TT cars were spotted to
take care Of the record ship
ment. The number of cars order
ed for today was 154, but lit
cars will be available if the ship
ment demands this r;lmber.
Information received by w. w.
Hall, of the bureau of markets,
from various growers and ship
pers, indicated that the shipmer,t
would positively reach $50 cars
and in all probability would ex-
ceed that number from 10 to 20
cars. This is the peak movement
for the lettuce crop and the grow
ers expect to keep their forces
busy cutting until darkness sets
in.
The previous high shipment
was last Saturday, when 1877 cars
were shipped. The record break
ing shipment is expected to move
without any trouble, the railroad
company having made ample ar
rangements for the spotting,
switching and hauling of cars.
Indications that tomorrow s
shipment might exceed ever. to-
days record breaker, were ex-
cesdingly bright according to Mr..
