Alien Held For
Investigation of
Express Checks

A rigid investigation will be con-
Quoted by county authorities into
the affairs of Rudulphus Secundus,
alias Michael Mendyk, who was
picked up by immigration authori-
ties in Calexico this morning.
Mendyk had in his possession
American Halfway Express checks
valued at $40. One of these books
was in the name of Mendyk while
the other was in that of Secundus.
Samples of his writing compared ia
vorably with Secundus but were not
so favorable as to the name of Men,
dyk.
The prisoner said that he had OBJ
tanned the books recently in Wash
ington, ID. c., after having been dis
charged from a government hospital.
The books, however, were of 1925
and 1926 issue, which made it ap-
pear as an improbability to the Of
ficials that they had been obtained
in Washington.
A check on the books will he
rlade. In the meantime Mendyk
will be given hearing on deporta-
tion in Calexico this afternoon ami
if released from this charge, ar
rangements have been made to turn
MIN over to county authorities
pending the outcome of the check
up on the books.
Inspectors Ross and lie Clare made
the arrest.
The immigration inspectors also
picked up Pierre Gratianne, "a, of
Calexico pending an investigation
into his entry into the United States.
lie was apprehended at the seven
foot drop of the canal west of Cal
exico by Inspectors Gilman and
Davis. He claims that he has been
in this country for four years.

SANTA BARBARA, Nov. II.
A skull found under a prin-
cipal street here 20 years ago
by laborer digging u sewer
today promised to become one
of the leading scientific OBJ
jects in the world as DR.. A. II.
Ousdal, local anthropologist
and student of ancient races,
pursues his theory that it is
older than any yet discovered.
For quarter of n century
the skull accumulated dust in
the corner of n barn where it
was tossed by the laborer whose
unframed eye failed to rec
ognize anything of interest in
the queer find.
Recently the laborcr left this
vicinity and the skull was turn
ed over to Il friend, who noted
peculiaritics and sent it to DIR.
Ousdal.
DR.. Ousdal consulted other
experts here and in Los Khge-
les and it was agreed that the
skull compares in some de-
gree with the Gibraltar skull
found in 1s4s., although it ap.
pears even older.
