More Facts Needed
In Italian Farley

Washington.-( Discussions Of
a plan here today for funding Italy's
war debt to the United States will be
delayed at least one month while Ma
rio Albert, technical expert of the
italian debt mission returns to Rome
for additional data on Italy's capacity
to pay. He will leave Washington i'm
mediately, it was announced after two
conferences yesterday with the Ameri-
can debt commission and the negotia-
tions will be resumed after August 1st.
While members of the American COM
mission had hoped the negotiations
would proceed without interruption,
they are not anxious because of the
delay. Italy is regarded now as COM
mitted to q funding policy and it is
thought that this might encourage
Belgium, France, Jugo-Slavia and Cze-
cho-Slovakia to give Roadway to SINH
lar negotiations. Signor Alberti's re-
turn to Rome will give him his first
opportunity to discuss fully the debt
situation with Premier Mussolini.

TEACHERS SHY AT
EVOLUTION QUESTION
National 1 Weston Association Ncs
TO &cs ON Any Resolution
Touching on Evolution.

Indianapolis, Ind.--( N)-The reso-
lutions committee of the National
Education association will not submit
to the convention in annual session
here any resolution on evolution, ac-
cording to II. w. Lamkin, Marysville,
Mo-, chairman of the committee.
Several resolutions condemning the
restriction on the teaching Of evolu-
tion by legislation we're submitted to
the committee, Mr.. Lamkin said. The
committee deemed it 'fnadvisahle" for
the association to express an opinion
on the subject, he added.
Mr.. Lamkin declared that the theory
Of evolution was capable of so many
different phases Of Interpretation that
any resolution bearing upon the sub
ject with directncss would arouse OPP
position, whatever It's wording, and
that the committee deemed vague
expression Of it's position as Of no
value in establishing a policy.
The committee also desired, Mr..
Lamkin said, that il should not APP
pear to be making capital Of current

.ISERMANN. CASE
GOES TO JURY
Charles Isermann On Trial
Charged With Driving
While Drunk.
SOME YES; SOME NO
Witnesses Cannot Agree that
Defendant Was Intoxicated
On That Day.

A Jury of six men listened all morn
ing to testimony given in the case OF
the state against Charles Isermann,
charged with driving an automobile
while intoxicated on May 20 on the
Lake Shore road. Assistant District
Attorney Morris Barnett presented the
states case, while the defense was
represented by Attorney A. L. Drury.
The state had completed it's case at
noon, when Judge Slater adjourned
court until LAS p. m. when the de-
tense prepared to put in its case.
The case arose out of an accident
which happened on the eve Of Mem
orial day. The testimony showed that
Isermann was driving an automobile
north on the Lake Shore road, that
he passed Oscar Theleen's car in
which were riding Oscar Theleen,
Joseph Josephson, L. 6. Scott, Nelson
D. Cooper and c.. w. Jensen. Iser-
mann cut in close upon the Theleen
car, then cut in so close upon Ford
coupe driven by Herman Christensen
that Christensen was forced on two
wheels to cut across the road to avoid
hitting three Dominican Sisters who
Dwere walking on the road and in the
path of an Oldsmobile car driven by
John G.. Whitcomb.
The witnesses did not all agree as
to the material testimony in the case,
although all agreed practically that
Isermann was driving in careless
manner, that he was the cause of
the accident, and, that he was abusive
when charged with it by Oscar The
leen and others.
Eleven witnesses were called by the
state. Of these six, including four
police officers, testified positively that
Isermann was intoxicated. The re-
naming FIVE, who were present at
| the time of the accident, stated
that they were unable to say whether
the defendant was intoxicated or not
one saying that he "smelled Of alco-
hol," and another saying that his
language was "boisterous" but that
they were unable to state upon oath
that he was intoxicated.

LUCKY STRIKE
ENDS BUSINESS
Judge Belden's Order Clos
ing Place is Served
By Sheriff.
PLACE IS LOCKED UP


The place operated by Robert Rein
known as Lucky Strike" at the cor
ner Of Rowland avenue and the Bur-
lington road is closed today. The ech-
oes of boisterous revelry which lave
so often filled the little place and Of
fered an opportunity for considerable
activity for the police department
are now no more. Rein himself is in
the county Jail serving out sentence
which followed conviction for Ii
quor law violation.
Judge E. B. Belden on Tuesday
signed the order directing the sheriff
to forthwith abate said public and
common nuisance now existing upon
said premises and to take possession
of all property now used on the prem
Uses in connection with the law viola
ton, and to remove the same to a
place of safe keeping to abide the fur
Their order of the court" The COM
plant which was drawn up by the
district attorney acting in behalf of
the federal government also orders
that the premises shall not be occu-
pied for use for one year, "and in case
it appears that the owner of said
premises had knowledge or reason to
believe that the same were occupied
in violation of law, enter decree i'm
pressing lien upon said premises and
directing that same be sold to pay all
costs and fines that may be assessed
or imposed against the person or per-
sons found guilty of maintaining
such nuisance"
The orders on the proprietor and
operator of the place were served by
the sheriff on Tuesday afternoon. At
that time it was found that the build
ing was empty There were seven
empty cracker boxes on one side of
the room, with bar and ice cream
stand in the rear. The shelves were
empty and gave every appearance of
not having been occupied since Rein
himself went to Jail several weeks
ago. 1t was evident that there was
nothing of any value left in the build
ing when the sheriff was given the or
ders by the district attorney to close
up the place and to seize any of the

of the needed improvements for traffic
Regulation in Kencsha.

mile. 1t would pass through property
owned by the St. GATHERINGS hospital,
the Pennoyer interests and the Win
Their Motor company. There are no
buildings at the present time in the

To Test Standing Structures.
During the night structural en-.
gineers, who have been assigned the
task of testing the remaining strt agth
of the city's structures, began ar4;v-
ing. 1t was freely predicted that
many of the buildings, although stand
ing and exhibiting but slight traces
of the earthquakes ravages, would be
ordered demolished to make way for
more solid and substantial structures.
Behind the wrecking parties came
swarm of workmen and laboring motor
trucks, clearing away the debris.
Santa Barbara was arising from the
ruin of crumpled stone and twisted
steel, catastrophe wrought early
last Monday when the foundations
of the buildings were shivered by
the earth's rumblings.
Revolving Fund Provided.
While noise reigned in the streets,
calm-faced men-fnancial minds Of
the community in terms Of wealth
sought to checkmate the fate which
had reduced their once proud build
ings to massed ruins.
H. H. Cotton, a Los Angeles banker,
announced last night that revolving
fund Of $2,50O,000 to assist in the
rebuilding plans had beer success
fully negotiated.
Rescue work centered on one loca-
tion today, at the ruins of the San
Marcos building on State street, in
which two bodies of victims are be-
lieved to be entombed beneath the
wreckage.
A survey of the ruins of Mondays
earthquake in Santa Barbara COM
pleted today by City Engineer George
W. Morrison indicates that buildings
constructed on solid rock foundations
Jared better in the temblors than
houses built on "filled in" land, the
official declared.
Along Santa Barbara's water front
region the land has been filed in for
years Buildings in the vicinity obvi-
ously suffered more >than the struc-
lures on the higher sites of the city
which have firm rock foundations,
Morrison said.
Examples, he explained, were the
California hotel, completed two weeks
ago and being RACED today; the South
ern Pacific railroads round house and
the pavement along the water front.
