IMMUNITY IS
AGAIN ASKED
FOR 0Rh|SI0N
(By Dispatch A. 2. Whel

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20
New overtures for the
provisional surrender of
Kenneth G. Ormiston, be-
lieyed to be the key witness
in the Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson case, have been
made to District Attorney
Asa Keyes by an attorney
newly engaged by the for
mer Angelus temple radio
operator, a statement is
sued by S. S. Kahn, who
first represented Ormiston,
said tonight.
Keyes, who has detailed his entire
staff of detectives to search for Ormis-
ton, has refused to offer the radio man
immunity from charges of criminally
conspiring with the evangelist and five
others to manufacture false evidence in
support of Mrs. McPherson's kidnapping
story in return for turning states evil
dence.
Mrs. Mcpherson, who has not yet

arrest, was directing a campaign for a
fight the devil fund" among her fol-
lowers to be useo to de-ray expenses
of her defense. In her sermon last
night She made an appeal for contrihu-
tions of 500, $500 and $1,000, which
she said committee of business men
would be asked to administer The
evangelist appeared about completely
recovered from an infected facial gland
which confined her to bed and pre-
vented formal service of the warrant
Friday.
Mrs lorraine Wiseman Sielaff,
whose confession that the Miss X''
story concerning the Carmel angle of
the Mcpherson case was hoax engi-
neered and financed by Angelus Tenn
pie, precipitated the sensational devel-
opmcnts leading to the charges against
the evangelist, appeared for prelimi-
nary haring in municipal court today
on charges of uttering bad checks. The
case was postponed one month, owing
to, the crowded court calendar.
Letters expected to have a bearing
on the corroboration of the story Of
Mrs Sielaff in the Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson case were turned over to the
district attorney today by A. A. Melosh,
father of Harry Melosh, former pri-
vate detective, suspected of being the
"Mr. Martin" named by Mrs Silaff as
the man who met her in San Francisco
and induced her to undertake the Car
mel hoax.
The senior Melosh was said to have
told officials today that his son had
admitted he had been promised money
if he could produce the "kidnapers'' of
Mrs. Mcpherson. The persons who
promised the money, he believed, were
agents of Angelus Temple. Later the
letters, sent him by his son from San
Francisco, were turned over to the Of
ficials.

ALASKA RAILROAD is
RECEIVING ATTENTION

Future expenditures in Alaska rail-
road will be expended on a definite
plan to make permanent all new con-
struction as fast as replacement is
necessary on temporary construction,
said Noel w. Smith, general manager
of the road who was in Seattle last
week on his return from Washington.
Wooden trestles are being replaced
by fills when possible and every dol
lar than can be spared is being put
into permanent construction which
will cut down the maintenance ex-
pense in future years. He reported
that the house had already approved
an appropriation of $1,700,000 for the
next fiscal year and the Senate is ex-
pected to act soon. This is the same
amount voted for the last fiscal year
and is taken as an indicated that the
attack made by Congressman A. M.
Free of California on the road was
not taken seriously by Congress.

Not All Expenses of
w. S. C.. Raised by Taxes

One million, six hundred thousand
dollars paid by the college itself, the
federal government, and the State of
Washington, is now approximately
the yearly cost of operating the State
College, according to figures made up
from the last year of operation.
The maintenance income created
by the State College itself amounts,
as things are now going, to $461, 900
a year. The federal government pays
$280,0O0, and the state pays $859,000.
The states share of the cost means
that the average taxpayer in the state
pays into w. S. G. support SLIP for
each 500 Of taxes. If mans house
is taxed $50 year, the State College
gets from his house tax the sum of
Sc cents.
The fact that the State College now
is providing nearly one-third of it's
annual operating expense is due to a
system of money-earning developed
in recent years. Many departments
of the institution conduct profitable
business operations as a part of the
training given the students. The dairy
herds, for example, that are used for
Institutional purposes, bring in large
sums. The college farm, used for
practical instruction, produces valu-
| able crops. Each of the several ex.
pertinent stations, in connection with
the experiments they carry on, pro
duce material which is Sold
The college also conducts an extern
sive system of student residence halls
constructed under community build
ing plan. Board in the college halls
ranges from $40 to $22 month.
Also, the State College has a large
endowment. At present, this consists
of 100000 in cash and 145,000 acres
Of land. This endowment is part o
the federal support of the institution
One hundred and ninety Thousand
acres of land was included in tn
original land-grant. OF this, $500
the sales going into permanent en-
dowment fund, the accruing interes
of which may be used each year TO
the support of the college.
State officials estimate that the er
/ dowment of the State College viii
eventuate in cash fund Of approx
J mately $1O,O0O,O0O which, under tn
} terms of the law, will provide a regr
lar income of 100000 annually.

Among the ancients, this disease
was known as "iliac passion" and
Hippocrates, the father Of medicine,
himself died it's victim. Later, it
went by the name of one Of its most
important complications, "inflamma-

Acute appendicitis, the rattlesnake

that people are not prepared to &C

that a surgeon must be called In at

those who are not very good at facing
disagreeable facts suddenly and with
courage. When your physician ad-

that you prefer to wait a day or two
to see what may happen. What hap
pens may be death, or distressing
complications of assesses and peri
tonitis, or final recovery, after long
time spent in bed, with manning in

Why, you may ask, is the appendix
so subject to disease. For the same
reason that the wisdom tooth gives
