A complete checkup of all evidence

their exhaustive Investigation of Mrs
Aimee SempIe McPherson's story of her
abduction and subsequent imprison-
ment in shack near Aqua Prieta dis

Cardenas' Statement.
A Mexican woodcutter, Gustabe Car
denas, who has a camp at Nigger Head
was found in the hills Thurs
day and questioned as to his story. He
said that on the night of June %, while
returning from Niger Head to Aqua
Prieta with a load of wood, he saw
large blue sedan parked on the desert,
approximately seven miles from Aqua
Prieta, and about two miles west of
Niger Head mountain. The car was
parked off the road and in a peculiar
manner, he stated. There were appar-
emily four people in the car, he contin-
ued, two men and two women AS it
was almost dark, being past p. M,
he could not remember much about the
people, stating, however, that the man
at the wheel was very large.
The position of the sedan and the att
titude of it's occupants aroused his in-
terest, Cardenas said, and he mention
ed the incident afterward both in Aqua
Prieta and Douglas. In fixing the date,

telegram from Presidente e. Bou-
boin stating the Mexican official
had new information to the effect
that a large blue closed automobile
had been seen parked near Niger
Head mountain on June %, the day
before the evangelist stumbled into
the Mexican border town.
Several persons have asserted that
they saw an automobile similar to

MODEL TRAFFIC
CODE FAVORED

With the adoption OF a model
traffic code for submission to the
States virtually assured, the Hoover
safety conference today conferred its
attention on sitting proposals for
changes TO meet special require
ments of individual States.
On a roll call of State deIega-
tons yesterday there was no dis
senting voice as to the need for
uniformity OF laws to make the
highways safe, and but few sug-
gesitons were made that differed
from the proposed model worked
out by committees. engaged in a
study of traffic needs throughout
the country for the past Is months.
The outstanding temper of the
gathering Is the desire for drastic
law enforcement fo- deliberate
violations of traffic regulations,
with particularly severe punish
ment for drunken or otherwise
reckless driving Of motor vehicles.
Where States already have laws
which meet in part the suggestions
in the proposed model, organized
efforts are expected to be made
TO have the next legislatures enact
additional laws, and in some States
where little has been done in deal
ing with traffic from a nationa!
standpoint, attention will be given
to an active propaganda, it was in
dicated.
The drafting committee, composed
OF one delegate from each State
represented at the conference, to
gether with the chairman of each
committee organized last night, and
started work early today to pre-.
pare the final draft Incorporating
the fruits Of the conference, Tor
presentation for a vote tomorrow
before the conference adjourns.
