Yields dead:
WOMAN KILLED

Carried Laboriously Into
Waterless Waste.

RIVERSIDE. Cal. March 8. =
UNITED Press.GFor the second time

vealed the secret of a murder.
With The finding OF the body today

ers. who reported 1t to Deputy Sheriff
S. A. Ragsdale at Mecca.
The body was found several miles
from the auto o running into Des-
ert Center. n watering station half
way between Mecca Inc Blythe.
Great difficulty in solving the mys-
terry is expected by the authorities. as
no record has been received OF any
woman answering the description OF
the murder victim being missing from
mere or ~neighboring points.
Early indications were that tho wo-
man had probably been murdered. her
body carried to the nearest point on
the road by automobile. n then la
boriously carried step by step through
the shifting and into the hear OF the
waterless waste.
The coroner office at FL Centre.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-An elev-
enth-hbur filibuster in both Use
and senate threatened tonight to wind
up the S~ixty-seventh congress in a
tight legislative snarl.
The hlibuster injected Interest Into
what had previously promised to be
come one of the tamest final sessions
of congress on record. 1t was caused
by the refusal of Republican leaders
in the houe to permit the sn-caned
nitrate bill to come up for considera-
ton.
Southern Democrats in the house.
after angry protest against what they
declared was the bad faith of Repub-
lean leaders. embarked on a program
of obstruct on. which they declared
they would keep up until tomorrow
without interruption. unless their bill
was given n chance.
Senator Helm of Alabama started
The senate filibuster in an effort to
coerce house leaders into yielding on
the nitrate bill. He said he was pre-
pared to talk al night IL necessary
and urged senate leaders to use their
Influence in the house II they wished

trouble revolved. appropriate 10000

ate, to be sod to tho cotton growers
of the south to fight off the boil

Heflin said:
THE house or some Republican
leaders there, has broken faith on this
nitrate bill, which affects the interests
of 2s. 1000. 900 people. II they won't let
that measure have n chance why
should we not filibuster their meas
ures % death over here?
Il have a large number OF docu
ments here which will make interest

in the morning"
Helm then launched on another
speech against the Federal Reserve
board and former Governor w. p
G. Harding. declaring Harding treat
ed the farmers in the same manner
las Republican house leaders were at
tempting to treat us"
Senate Curtis told Helm he had
tried to get the house leaders to let
the nitrate bill comeup.

NO SMOKING IN UTAH

Three prominent citizens Of Salt
Lake City were arrested for smoking
in the d|iningroom of a popular restau-
rant in that city. A law passed two
veal ago makes it a misdemeanor for
aany person to smoke cigars, cigar
cites or tobacco i'm any enclosed public
place within the State of Utah except
in extra rooms compartments or
coaches especially provided for smok-
ing purposes and enclosed pub
lie places are defined to include din
ingrooms in hotels, street cars, pas
senger elevators, barber shops, State,
County and City buildings
The arrests were the first to be
made under the law, which has been
generally disregarded. Apparently an
attempt is to be made now to enforce
it.. but whether for the purpose of
arousing public sentiment to force its
repeal it not clear. An a~nti-tobacco
law in Utah, the home of Mormonism,
where until a few years ago there
was no limit to the number of wives
a man might marry! However, since
it has been decreed that men shall not
drink Intoxicating liquor, it is a short
step to prohibiting the use of tobacco
in public places.
