Man FIRED ON
NEAR Scene OF
RECENT AMBUSH
j. MARTINEZ Sees Assail-
ant as Rifle Is Brought
Into Play; Officers In
vestigate Case

Officers today are investigating a re
ported attempted ambuscade yesterday
near the scene of the murder Of Rosa
Cortina Cavezos earlier this week
Juan Martinez, who lives near the
scene of the shooting, and who was
passing the place yesterday at about
noon in an automobile, saw a man come
out into the open from behind a clump
Of bushes, raise rifle and fire at him,
he reported to officers here.
The shot missed its mark, and the
man ran on off in the brush, as Mar
tinez sped up his car and came on to-
ward Brownsville.
Nineteen -year-old Rosa Cortina Cava-
zos was murdered near the same spot
Tuesday. night of this week when she
was shot through the head several
times with pistol Her husband, who
was driving the automobile at the time
of the shooting, was wounded, although
not seriously.
Officers expressed the belief today
That the man who fired the shot at
Martinez is one of the murderers of
Rosa Cavazos, and that he is a mem
Der of a band of outlaws operating in
that vicinity. Martinez was unable to
offer any explanation Of the shooting,
stating to the officers, as Eziquiel Ca
vazos had done, that there is no one
who would want to kill him. that he
knows Of
The similarity of the shotings, in
that both were from ambush, and the
fact that the attempted murder yester-
day was near the same spot where the
young woman was killed has led Off
GERS to connect the two in their investi-
cations.
Members of the sheriff's department
are working on the case today.

RUBBER PRICE
Still RISING
Relaxation of Export Al
lowance by England
Ineffective
by The Associated Press,

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 1.-The
price Of crude rubber has again taken
an upward trend despite slight relaxa-
tion Of restrictions on rubber exports
from British colonies, effective today.
Under the Stevenson restriction act,
against which the American rubber
trade has complained through the state
department, the British colonies for
the last six months have been allowed
to export only sixty five per cent Of
the rated rubber production capacity.
Beginning today, this is raised to 70
per cent, as provided in the last act.
The American rubber trade is disap-
pointed because its request fos an 50
per cent expectation limit has not been
granted and the law apparently allow
cd to run its course
Colonial Secretary Amery said in
London that by early next year all re
strictions would have been removed
Most of the current years rubber
transactions were made, he said at
comparatively low prices and present
quotations represent speculative values
of the small amount of rubber imme-
diately available.
Spot quotations of smoked ribbed
sheets yesterday advanced six cents a
pound both on the New York and Lon
don markets over the previous close
Respective quotations were 95 cents a
pound and in London four shillings.

WOMAN CLAIMS

Daughter of Lotta Crab
tree Branded as An
Adventures
fRv The Associated Press.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. Though
branded as "brazen adventures,
Mrs. Ida M. Blankenburg, Of Tulsa,
Okla, declared today that she will car
ry her fight to the highest court in
the land to prove that she is the
daughter of Lotta Crabtree and is en-
titled to share in the actress 10000 900
estate.
After Judge Jrest denounced Mrs.
Blankenburg as a perjurer in Suffolk
probate court, he cited her and her
brother, John w. Crabtree, to appear
to answer contempt charges next Tues
day. Immediately all of Mrs Blanken-
burg's attorneys withdrew from the
case.
Il am facing Jail, but I am not
afraid, the woman said. 81 am the
daughter of Lotta Crabtree. If they
want to put me in Jail simply because I
have refused to deny my own mother,
very we'll. But in the end right will
prevail
Before citing Mrs. Blankenburg and
her brother in contempt, Judge Prest
said:
'The case of Ida May Blankenburg
is pockmarked with fraud. There is no
mistaking it. The spots Of fraud are
as thick and as plainly visible as the

ENGLISH AID TO
MINERS COSTLY
Ten Million Pounds Are
Added to Budget in
Settlement
fBv The Associated Press.l

LONDON, Aug. notwithstanding
that the financial assistance which the
government is to give to the mine own
ers will add, according to unofficial
figures something like 100000 pounds
to the country's budget, there is great
sense of relief that a miners strike.
affecting more than million men, has
been prevented.
Strike notices had been issued several
days ago, to take effect at midnight last
night, and the carrying out Of the
threat was averted only by the last
minute offer or the government to give
financial aid to the mine owners to
enable them to maintain the present
wage scale. The agreement carrying
the present scale of wages was to have
expired at midnight, and it was a new
agreement proposed by the mine own
er to supersede it, with its clauses i'm
volving decreased wages and longer
working day, that brought the strike
threat.
Under the arrangements made yes
terday to prevent strike which would
have caused one Of the worst industrial
calamities in recent times, the miners
will remain at work receiving the same
wages as they did under the old agree
ment, and remain in the pits the same
number Of hours each day as at pres
ent. The government will grant finan-
cial help to the owners until May 4.
1926.
If in any month the wages paid to the
men in accordance with the recognized
ratio of division between wages and
profits are lower in any district than
the wages payable at the minimum per-
centage under the agreement the ex-
chequer will have to make up the de-
ficiency- In any month in which the
estimated average profit Of q district

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Aug. IA
simple wooden ma ker, set amid the
witheiing clusters Of blossoms that hid
his grave alone marked the last resting
place of William .Jenrirg5 Bryan in Ar
lIngton cemetery.
Just over the hill crest beneath which
he sleeps, stands the row on row of
white hcadstones above soldier dead
who lost their lives in Fiance. Closer
about are the more imposing monu-
ments Of the officer dead with whom he
keeps his last encampment, and all
about are the signs of the orderly, rev.
erent care with which the nation sur
rounds the last sleep Of those it has
called to its service.
One day a stone memorial will be
erected to tell in craven lettering that
the conimoner lies here on this peace
full slope. But it is yet too soon for the
stricken widow, the brother, the chill
dren and the grandchildren of the dead
to have made, their plans for that per-
manent testimonial to their love.
The broken family circle was still in
Washington today, gathering again the
threads Of the everyday things Of life
to which they must turn back They
came back from the last solemn scene
in the cemetery yesterday to spend a
little longer here before they must go
their separate ways once NOR.
Mrs. Bryan has made no definite
plans beyond the decision to return
to her home in Miami, where she has
recovered a little from the long strain
and attended to some details Of private
matters with which she must deal in
Washington. No reservations for her
southwark journey have yet been made.
Other members of the family planned
to leave tonight for their homes. Form
er Governor Charles W. Bryan expected
to 90 direct to Omaha and prepare to
fill the lecture engagement he has made
for the weeks ahead Those Of the chill
dren who could, planned to stay day
or two with the mother.
After the last service at the grave
late yesterday many of the old political
and personal friends of the commoner
who had come to Washington to be pres
ent at the funeral left for their homes
and others boarded their trains today.
There was no definite step taken among
them toward memorial to commemor-
ate the service Of the dead leader, nor
is it likely that the question will be
opened until Mrs. Bryan has indicated
her wish.
