HUNTING PERSON
WHO BROKE into
CATHOLIC CHURCH
Vestments, Altar DecOra-
tiOns Scattered Over
the Building

Sam r. Griffin, assistant chief OF
police, was endeavoring today to To-
cate the party responsible for break
mig into st. Mary's Catholic
church yesterday and causing con
siderable damage by scattering vest
ments and altar decorations about
the church. SO 1ar as could b., as
certained nothing, was stolen, al
though the contents of the "hope
chest' which is to be given away
by the Y. l.. !. ya'e also thrown
over the floor.
Whoever was responsible for the
desecration gained entrance into the
chu' oh by prying open the dooI on
the Orange streeC side. Rev. Ber-
nard Lee, pastor Of the church, stat
ed the door has been kept locned
and :he evidence showed that it
had been forced with some blum, IN
Strumcl t.
The pastor dis oveled the work OF
the Intruder 10 o,owing his retu, II
from Holtvllle yestel day afternoon,
md Immediately notified the p;lice.
Griffin made a Thorough search of
ibe neighborhood, blt was urdble
to find any trace of the intruder,
nor had folks living il the neighbor-
mood noticed an.J suspicious charac-
ters near the church.
Seeking Workman
Fartehr Lee told the police he had
employed an elderly man to do some
work about the church yesterday,
and he disappeared before the pas
tors return from Holtvillc. The
police are inclined to the belief that
he may have been responsible for
the entry into the chmch.
The hteory that the trouble has
lave been the work of children was
discounted by the fact that the Gcor
had been forced. In the event, that
the man under suspicion can ciear
himself, the only solution left ac-
cording to the police is that some
fanatic is responsible for the intru-
sion.

3 STOLEN CARS
FOUND AT Line,
NARROW ESCAPE

Three automobiles which were re-
ported stolen by their owners in
Calexico over the weekend, have
been recovered by Officers Shot
we'll and Meyers since the first OF
the week, the officers having locat
ed the ears in MeXicali. The recOv'
cry of the ears was made possible
according TO the officers, through
the good offices of Henry Coma
les, of the customs service, and the
cooperation of the Mexican Off
cials.
No arrests were made in connec-
ton with the recovery of the cals
although one thief had narrow
escape. He was ordered TO stop by
officer Shotwell, and while tic lat
Ter was busy looking ut the mum
Der of the automobile engine, the
thief made his getaway by jumping
over the side of the car.
Through the work now being
done by the Officers, it is hoped
to perfect plan to put a stop to
the practice of automobile thieves
taking ears on this side of III. line
and selling them in Mexicali OF
ether parts of Lower California
The Mexican officials have willing
" rendered every assistance possibl,
to the American Officers and Will
this spirit of cooheration prevailing
ut the border, it is hoped to make
the way of the automobile thiet
n hard one to travel.

OFFICERS HAVE
A CHILLY NIGHT
SEEKING DUNLAP
Bandit Reported Headed
For Valley Fails to
Show Up

Following the receipt Of tip
that Harry j. Dunlap, the notorious
badge bandit was supposed to
be travelling from San Diego to-
ward Imperial VALLEY i'll Ford tour
ing car, Officers klippel and shot
well of the county traffic squad
stationed themselves at the county
line near Mountain Springs last
night, and waited there several
hours for the arrival of the ban
dit, who failed to show up.
DEPUTY Sheriff Oswalt WAS ;lso
detailed on the case and was sta
toned further down the San Diego
highway toward the valley. The
officers maintained their vigil for
several hours, in the hope that Dun
lap might be captured. The intense
cold caused them no little amount
of hardship and the officers at
Mountain Springs were nearly froz-
Ell during their lonely wait.
Believing that a camp fire might
arouse the suspicion of Dunlap, if
he was heading toward the valley,
the officers endeavorod 20 keep
warm by covering themselves with
heavy blankets and building wind
breaks Of brush. Oswalt Was eX-
pcsed to the brisk wind which al
ways blows just east of the noun
tains and he was no better off
than his fellow Officers at Noun
tain Springs.
/ The lip failed to materializo, bur
tie officers stated today that they
would like more than ever to ge,
chance at Dunlap, as he was the
cause of them spending Il miserable
night.
Deputy sheriffs from Los Ange-
les, who were sent over to the val
ley from San Diego by Sheriff Ira
eyer, arrived here yesterday af err
noon and spent considerable time
ia, the vicinity of MeXicali, hoping
to pick up some clew that might
give them Il line on Dunlap.

TOXIC, Jan. 16.-Sendai, impor-
tant city on the Bay of Sendai,
Japan, Was shaken at t a. m. today
hy another violent earthquake.
Reports req aching here did not
cnumerate damage, however, and it
was not known whether the shock
had serious results.
The shake at Sendai, coming as
it did less than 24 hours after the
violent earthquake of yesterday
morning, caused much excitement.
Official announcement was made
today placing the casualties of yes
terday's tremblor i'll Toxic and Yo-
kohama at II dead and an unknown
number injured. Most estimates of
the injured, however, were around
200.
Prof. T. Nakamura, one Ct . the
world s leading authorities on earth
quakes, predicted today that earth
quakes, probably of less intensity,
will be frequent during the spring
in the japanese islands.
Are of Volcanic Origin
Apparently the disturbances arc
of volcanic origin-continuation OF

Oshima which caused the September
I earthquake when it exploded anl

CONVICT LABOR
Protested By Florida Trade
UniOniSts

Tampa, Fla.-Trade unionists Of
TINS state are angry at Governor
Hardee's willingness to re-introduce
convict labor into this state. The
last Legislature prohibited the leasing
of convicts, but this has been ignored
by the governor, who has arranged to
have convicts manufacture shirts for
contractors.
The governor stated that the state
prison farm is not self-sustaining and
cannot be made SO. The Tampa CEN
tral body reminded the chief executive
that he has dealt body blow to the
state by his declaration that Florida
with all it's resources Cannot find
land productive enough to work it."
If this is true, the trade unionists
point out, there is no opportunity in
Florida for the homeseeker.
The unionists declare that the leas-
ing contract is disgrace and that
public opinion should make it's en-
forcement impossible. Practically
every state has passed or is prepar-
ing to pass legislation curtailing the
employment of prisoners on any work
that comes in competition with free
labor, due to the unfairness of such
competition, the abuses it subjects
the prisoners to, and the insanitary
conditions that goods are produced
under, the unionists declare.

SCUTTLED
Ship of Farmer-LabOr Party
Hits Rocks Planted By
Communists and Sinks
captain" Bill Foster Now
Candidate For u. S.
Presidency

BY International Labor News Service
Chicago.-The farmer-labor party,
Fosters ST. Paul creation, was scut-
tied and sunk without trace by it's
national executive committee here
last Friday.
The committee at the same time
urges party members to support the
(communist) workers. party candi-
dates for president and vice presi-
dent, who were announced today as
being respectively William Y. Foster,
of Chicago, and Ben Gitlow, of New
York.
The committeeman signing the
manifesto were Alexander Howatt,
chairman; C. A. Hathaway, Joseph
Manley, Alfred Kuntson and Scott
Wilkins.
The official reason assigned for this
action is that the time is not pro-
pitious for united front" working
class political party and that this sit
uation was brought about by the
action of the conference for progress
i've political action at Cleveland, July
A, in nominating LaFollette, and his
subsequent Endorsement by the social
list party. That is for public con-
sumption, however. The Fosterites
are congratulating each other on be-
ing great "slickers" and Dragging
about their wonderful strategy in
eliminating the farmer-labor and
socialist parties as competitors of the
workers party of America, leaving
the latter as the only working class
party in America" as they put it.
1t now develops that it was the
intention of the communists from the
beginning to capture the farmer
labor party and sink it. 1t was also
part of their plan to put LaFollette
at the head of the party before it was
blown up, so that his political career
might be ruined. Instead of LaFol-
lette being the fall guy, however,
Duncan Mcdonald was chosen to play
the role of the boob.
Mcdonald is in Chicago today, but
to all outward appearances is quietly
submitting to the chicanery of the
Foster wrecking crew
