location Of the alleged crime.
After returning the single indictment
the jury recessed until February &c.
The previous indictment was quashed
because it did not describe in sufficient
detail the location where Roans body
was found on the allotment Rose Little

cd to make this more definite. Hale
and Ramsey will be arraigned in federal
court at Oklahoma City Monday morn

A suggestion by Federal Judge John

held at once was not carried out because
of the absence of Ramsey's counsel.

a day and half, and Of the As witness

SAN QUENTIN, Calf, Feb. 13.-An
unsuccessful death chamber plea for
delay in the execution Of Harry Gar
butt, for murder, was made here today
by his attorney, Ernest Spagnoldi, as his
client was walking up the thirteen steps
to the gallows. Garbutt was convicted
of the murder of Mrs. Dorothy Lee
HUM of Pasadena. The trap was sprung
at 10:40 a. m.
Garbutt was to have been hanged at
10 o'clock in the morning but execution
was delayed while the supreme court of
California and the United States heard
pleas for a stay.
Atop the gallows the guards affixed
the ankle straps, the moose and the
black cap. Spagnoli renewed his plea,
but the clang of the scaffold trap ended
one of the most spectacular and per-
sistent fights ever waged in California
to save man from official death.

TIAJUANA, L. O., Feb. 133.--Luis
Amador, Tiajuana saloon proprietor,
charged jointly with Chief Of Police
Zenaido Llanos Of attacking Clyde
and Audrey Peteet, after being thwart-
ed in a suicide attempt this morning,
announced his intention to go on
hunger strike. Amador's suicidal at
tempt was with a safety razor blade
with which he succeeded in slashing
one of his wrists before the jailer dis
covered his act and took the blade
from him.
The prisoner, in morose and nerv-
Gus state. announced that he would
eat no food. Mexican officials say
that the mans mind is probably af-
fected
Charges against Zenaido Llanos, for
mer chief of police of Tiajuana Of at
tacking Audrey Peteet may be dropped
following investigation Of testimony
offered by Llanos in his final ques-
tioning this afternoon, the. Mexican in
vestigating officials announced. The
testimony does not affect other charges
which may be made against the former
official, however, and he still is being
held.
In his final questioning Llanos made
emphatic denial that he had harmed
the Peteet girl, who. following the al
legged attack upon herself and her sis
ter, Clyde, Joined her mother and faith
er in "shame suicide" in San Diego
last week.
Declares Innocence -
The former chief of police testified
that while the girl was in an upstairs
room in a hotel where she is alleged
to have been taken, he was in the main
room downstairs drinking with eight
persons.
The testimony Of Llanos came as
surprise to the investigators.
Mexican officials, in their eagerness
to quickly settle the case, will hold
court on Sunday if necessary.
While Luis Amador, proprietor Of
Oakland cafe in Tiajuana, from which
place the two girls are alleged to have
been taken after their father had been
drugged and who is accused Of attack
ing Clyde Peteet Is continuing his
hunger strike, officials announced that
two letters had been taken from the
prisoner this morning at the time that
he attempted suicide with safety
razor. The first of the two letters is
addressed "To the public" and de-
clares that Amador is in fear Of pun

News that a part Of the charges
against the former chief Of police Of
Tiajuana may be dropped was received
with jubilance by residents OF the

STORM RAGING
NCALIFORNIA
Wind Sweeps Inland AT
ter Wreaking Havoc
Along Coast Line
(By The Associated Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Feb. 13.-
After having goaded the seas along
more than a thousand miles of coast
line to an orgy Of destruction, a storm
Of record size and force was moving
swiftly inland late today. A wake Of
shattered beach structures from San
Francisco to San Diego, three dead and
at least two sturdy ships hopelessly
battered and broken, were left.
Ships at sea reported last night that
they were fighting high seas and hurri-
cane winds, while the surf shore side
was smas hing down seawalls, beach
homes and pleasure piers.
Wind and surf kept all craft harbor
bound, while playing havoc with the
light shipping off shore. At San Pedro,
a heavy southwesterly gale put stop
to all fishing operations, tore targets
of the U. S. battle fleet adrift from their
moorings and broke many yacht anchor
ropes, setting these craft adrift. The
concrete floor Of the municipal pier at
Santo Monica had sagged to such an ex-
tent today that police ordered all
spectators and workmen to leave the
structure.
Flood like rains accompanied the
storm, turning streets into miniature
rivers in some of the southern towns,
caving in sections of the coast highway
route near San Juan Capristrano and
causing big landslides.
Water flooded high into the beauti-
full homes of Jesse Lasky, Joseph
Schenck, the motion picture magnates,
Tom Bundy, noted tennis player and a
number of others at Santa Monica, while
south of Venice many other residences
were undermined, including that of Ed
ward Everett Horton, stage and screen
actor. Some of these homes were on
the verge of collapse.
Two met death at Santa Monica yes
terday and third man was swept to
death today when George Proctor, wharf
employe at Ventura was washed off OF
the collapsing shipping pier.

PROBE OF DRY
LEAGUE ASKED
Solon Charges 'Insidi-
Gus Influence To
Organization
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 13.-
Charging the anti-saloon league with
exercising an "insidious influence
over the treasury department in the ap-
poirtment of prohibition enforcement
officers, Representative Britten, repub-
lican, Illinois, today introduced a reso-
luton to investigate the activities Of
that organization.
The inquiry was requested. the reso-
luton said. because high officials Of
the league or its subsidiaries have been
sent to prison for collecting money un-
der false pretense and also because it
has been shown that two high officials
of one state were on the leagues pay
roll while serving in their respective Of
fices.
Although the resolution mentions no
names" Mr.. Britten said in statement,
it refers indirectly to William H. An
derson, head Of the anti-saloon league
of New York who has just completed a
term in the penitentiary. 1t also re-
fers indirectly to Justice Richard J..
Hopkins of the state supreme court and
Attorney General Charles B. Griffith
both Of Kansas, who were credited with
being on the payroll Of the league after
an investigation Of the leagues affairs
in Topeka. The resolution would pro-
vide for appointment of special con-
gressional committee to conduct the in
cuiry and would authorize an appropria-
tion of $4,000 to defray expenses.
The welfare of the state and nation
are jeopardized when public officials
elected by the state to enforce all laws
are receiving two salaries, one from the
state and the other from an overpower-
ing secret organization.

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 13.-The states
brief upholding action of the Texas rail
road commission in the Fort Bliss rate
case was sent today to the interstate
commerce commission at Washington by
Attorney General Dan Moody.
In August 1923, the Texas commission
held that freight on all classes and COM
modities from Texas common points to
Fort Bliss, to an army post short dis
tance from Ell Paso to Fort Bliss flat
rate of $3.50 car was fixed.
The Galveston, Harrisburg and San

unjust and discriminatory.
The Texas commission holds the in
