STORM CLAIMS
ONE LIFE WHEN
CAR HITS DITCH
A. Weyland Fails to Re-
cover After Being Rescu-
ed From Water.

While crops and roads in geBcr-
al are believed to have stood up
well under the 2.36 inches of rain
which fell over the weekend, one
fatality has resulted from the
storm. A. Weyland, 45, of Brawley
district lost control of the machine
which he was driving as the car
passed over a mud covered bridge
and was plunged into an irrigation
canal. He was pulled from the
ditch, unconscious but still alive
but died in the Brawley hospital
late last night.
Weyland was employed on the
Elmore ranch and was taking care
of the place while the owners had
gone to Los Angeles for the holiday
weekend. Shortly before 7 O'Clock
last night he took the car and went
to the Palm Grocery store. He
made some purchases and started
back toward the ranch.
r. A. Bowman and s. 8. Jeska,
clerks in the store, heard him shout
for help a minute later and then
heard a crash as the car plunged
into the canal which was well filled
with water due to the heavy rain.
They rushed to his aid but it was
fully five minutes before they were
able to get him out. They took
him to the store and worked over
him but were unable to revive him.
They then took him to the hospital
in Brawley where physician
worked over him for three hours,
but was unable to bring him back
to life.
The body was removed to Hopes
undertaking parlors and Coroner B.
E. Lemons was notified. An inquest
was to be held in the case at Braw-
ley this afternoon.
Crops Not Harmed
While in some places where the
ground was not of heavy texture,
crops have been washed out but
these are but few. The rain, how
ever, coming at this time is expect
ed to hold up lettuce shipments con-
siderably.
Traffic was tied up considerably
with machines stalled at numer-
Gus points along the roadways where
they had slipped from the highways
but no other serious accidents are
believed to have occurred. The
railroads this morning reported all
trains running on schedule and no
washouts along the lines.
There was a slight washout near
Indio on the highway to Los An
geles but that was patched up and
re-opened this morning. The road
to San Diego has remained open at
all times during the storm. The
Yuma highway is also open to traf-
fic but has numerous bad water
holes.
The official figures given out by
Imperial Irrigation district on the
water fall show as follows: Sun
day 1.26 inches; Monday 1.10 inches.
Total 2.36 inches.
Many Imperial Valley residents,
returning home from the coast,
were held up at Indio last night on
account of water on the highway
between that city and Imperial
Valley. Hotel accommodations were
taxed and many were unable to OBJ
tain rooms.
The greater part of the water had
run off this morning and the high
way was passable throughout,
though careful driving was neces-
sary in many places.

NAVY JOINS IN
WIDE SEARCH FOR
CRAYSON PLANE
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The navy
extended its every resource today
in an effort to locate the trans-At-
lantic airplane Dawn, which now has
been missing more than 50 hours.
The navy dirigible Los Angeles,
the destroyer Mahan and the cruiser
Sturtevant all are enroute to the
Sable Island district where it is
considered likely that the plane
carrying Mrs. Frances Grayson, is
down.
In addition coast guard boats are
alert, watching for the seaplane,
while every radio station in the
New England states has been urged
to listen for the planes call let
tcrs, WMU.
The plane took off from Roose-
welt Field, l.. L., Friday night with
four passengers Mrs. Grayson,
Lieutenant Oskar Omdahl, Brice
Goldsborough and Fred Koehler.
The first stop was planned for Har-
Dor Grace, New Foundland, from
where transatlantic flight at
tempt was to be made.
1t was reported over the Cape
Cod district Friday evening and
then there was no further word un-
til Sunday night. At that time the
Sable Island radio station received
a distress signal signed 'WMU. The
message was on such wave as to
indicate the plane was within 100
miles of Sable Island.
LAKEHURST, N. j.. Dec. 81. -
A cruise along the southern coast of
Nova Scotia as far as Halifax to-
day failed to reveal any trace of
the missing amphibian plane, The

Monday Of this week ended the sea- son for fishing through the ice The winter has been such that less pickerel have been taken than in more open winters The heavy snow falls cou- pied with an unusual thickness of the ice has discouraged many fishermen. As result more piekerei remain in the ponds to be caught later on with poles and line.

WASHINGTON, March 2s (FP).-
In its weekly news service the Amer
lean Federation of Labor publishes
conspicuously the evidence gathered
by the Pennsylvania Old Age Pen
sions Commission, showing that en-
ployers' pension schemes for workers
are unsound.
This pension SYSTEM" says the
Federation, provides no guaranty of
continuance Of annuities to employees
of the firm, as they are subject to
withdrawal at the pleasure of the
company.
"The commissions findings recall
the recent collapse Of the Morris
Packing Co.'s old-age pension sys-
tenn when that concern was taken
over by the Armour Packing Cor
poration. Several hundred Morris
employees labored for years on low
wage basis in the hope that they
would be pensioned in their declining
days. When the transfer was made,
