Women Living AS
Husband and Wife
Held for Murder

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.-Two "a year
old women who lived here as "man
and wife" for six weeks were under
arrest in connection with the murder
of the pseudo wife's real husband
at Chicago on June 20.
The "husband of the couple,
Miss Helen Brown of Louisville, KY,
was arrested by detective lieuten-
ant when he suspected she was a
woman despite her male attire.
Detectives later arrested h e
"wife," Mrs. James Edwards, alias
Nelson and Morrison, who admitted
living with Miss Brown as Mr.. and
Mrs. George Nelson. Until their ar
rest, the .'wife' asserted she did
not know Miss Brown was a woman.
The murder for which the two
women are held occurred at Chicago
June %. Mrs. Edwards and Miss
Brown found him in company with
another woman, Miss Anges Lang.
Both were expelled from the other
woman's apartment. She said on
reaching the street they heard a
shot, returned, and found her hus-
band dead with a revolver lying on
the floor beside him. Miss Lang
had fled, she said.

By G.. F. FINE
United Press Staff CORRESPOND,

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 10.-Presi-
dent Gales of Mexico is planning for
a possible long drawn out battle
with rebels in the State of Vera
Cruz, it became evident TODAY with
the arrival of 5000 additional troops
from Sonora.
Part of the reinforcements win
be used to strengthen the capital
garrison and the rest will augment
forces already in Vera Cruz pursu-
ing rebel troops under General
Gomez and Alamada.
The fact that the federals have
as yet made no contact with the
rebels was felt here to indicate that
the government is proceeding slowly
and cautiously and taking mo
chances on the escape of the rebel
leaders.
The navy has been ordered to
keep a special lookout along the
east coast to prevent Gomez and
Almada from escaping by boat.
The war office announced that
heavy desertions among the revolu-
tionaries continue, and that the
rebels on evacuating Perote and Ori-
entail, left behind all heavy equip
ment, including trains.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-The
American Cruiser Richmond is en-
route to Manila with 80 passengers
and mail of the steamer "Bicol,'
which was driven ashore in ty-
phoon off Pasaeao, southeastern
Luzon, Philippines, October 8, Rear
Admiral j. r. Y. Blakely advised
the navy department today.
His report gave no indications of
the nationality of the "Bieol," "
which sent out distress signals
when she went aground 200 yards
from shore. All of the passengers
had been removed from the vessel
when the Richmond arrived, the re-
port said. Those passengers not
taken to Manila were sent to other
parts of the island.
The typhoOn has abated and the
vessel may be saved if no heavy
winds develop before salvage oper-
ations are started, Blakely reported.

Gov. Hunt Dispatches
Secretary to Oppose
Support for Bill.
ny United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10.-Resolu-
tions declaring the attitude of the
American Federation of Labor on
important matters Of international
policy engaged the attention OF
delegates today as the second week
of the f0rty-seventh annual conclave
got under way.
in ringing declaration, the con
yention urged the granting of pow
er to the legislature of Porto Rico,
concerning matters of internal i'm
port and also went on record as fav
oring the rights of the people of
Porto Rico to elect their own gov
crnor.
A bitter battle on the floor of the
convention over the Boulder Dam
project was expected to be ushered
in late today. Word was received
here that Henry S. McClusky, secre-
tary of Governor Hunt of Arizona,
is enroute here to participate in a
fight against adoption of the Boul-
der resolution.
Controversy over the Boulder dam
project is expected to furnish the
highlight of the week with Daniel
Murphy of the California State Fed
Grafton of Labor supporting the
measure and II. s. McCluskev, form
er head of the Arizona federation
opposing it.
Murphy has already asked the
convention to go on record as favor
ing passage of the Swing Johnson
bill while McCluskev introduced a
resolution opposing the building of
the dam. They will be the leading
speakers in championing their re-
spective recommendation.
The resolution introduced by Muir
ply was to have reached the floor
for vote last Friday, but it was
held up by the committee when the
unforeseen opposition to the power
features of the bill developed upon
the convention floor.
Declaring that it would put the
government in the power business,
several prominent labor leaders were
outspoken in their criticism of the
hill. For organized labor to indorse
the measure, they said was equiva-
lent to an Endorsement of govern
ment ownership in industry, some
thing Numerically opposite to
union tenets.

Indoor League
Meeting Tonight

just as sugar attracts flies, so
the idea of an indoor baseball league
seems to have attracted the atten-
ton of many organizations in this
city, and those who are sponsoring
the league are now confronted with
the problem of deciding just how
many teams can be handled.
This and other matters will be
ironed out at meeting to be held
tonight at o'clock in the Press
office. Nothing hard and fast has
as yet been decided about the
league, and all who are in any way
interested are invited to attend to-
nights meeting which will be made
as brief as possible so as not to in
terfere with other affairs.
1t is hoped that much of the pre-
liminary work can be decided upon
tonight and everything made ready
for the opening of the league by
next week.

Former President Escort
ed by Big Body of Troops
on Way to NOgales.
by United Pres. Leased wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10.--Uncon-
firmed reports that Otilio Gonzalez,
former congressman in the Chamber
of Deputies in the State of Coahuila,
and well known Mexican poet, had
been executed in Mexico City, were
current in circles close to the rev.
olutionary movement here today.
The report created further resent
ment in the ranks of rebel sympath-
izers here as Gonzalez had many
friends in this city in addition to
being popular in Mexico City. He
was close friend of Adolfo de In
Hucrta, former provisional president,
whose brother, Alfonso was slain
near Nogales, Sonora, last Thursday.
Meanwhile new reports of the
successful operation of General
Gomez, who is operating near Mexi-
co City, reached here. Additional
federal troops are reported to have
deserted to the ranks Of the rebels
including General Jesus Abuara,
former governor of Hidalgo, and his
brother, Antonio.
Extreme precautions were report
ed to be under way at the Nogales,
Sonora, barracks for the arrival of
General Alvaro Obregon, enroute
there from Mexico City to await the
birth of his seventh child.
He is being accompanied by a
heavy bodyguard of picked troops
as his train passes through the rebel
infested State of Nayarit and is ex-
pected to arrive at Nogales tomor-
row.
General Azuara, following his as
serted revolt to the ranks of the
rebels, is reported to be menacing
the town of Pachuca, where the
United States Smelling and Refin-
ing Company plant is located. It
is the biggest silver mining camp in
Mexico.

BALL PLAYERS
SCATTER AFTER
GETTING MONEY
By United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Yankee
and Pirate ball players began seat
tering today for teir winters rest,
the world series over and the Yanks
,nquestioned champions.
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig gather
cd their things together and started
en- transforming expedition which
will carry them as far as the Pacific
coast.
Others went to their fox farms,
their Florida groves or their homes
in California, the middle west and
III Texas. Only a few will remain
in the east during the winter.
BY winning Saturdays game and
making it four straight, the Yanks
made it necessary for their owners
to return to fans approximately
$4,000 which had been paid for
tickets.
The refusal of Donie Bush to let
"Kiki' Cuyler, the hero of the 1925
series, get into the game was now
the only question left. SO far there
has been no explanation offered.
Cuyler, himself, processes not to
know. He doubts that it was be-
cause of the incident wherein he
was fined $50 by Bush for failing
to slide into second base few
weeks ago.
Cuyler in Demand
He believes other circumstances
enter into it. And while Cuyler
says he is willing to kiss and make
up with Manager Bush it is certain
he would prefer to play for some
other ball club.
His staus with the Pirates may
not be decided until midwinter and
it would not be surprising if he
were traded to some other team.
There are exactly seven clubs in the
National legaue aside from the Pi-
rates which could use Cuyler reg
ularly.
Still, Cuyler probably will receive
the $3.50 or so that each Pirate
will get as his share of the world
series money. He deserves it for
batting .410 and stealing 90 bases
during the regular season, until his
tiffs with the management.
After the fourth game he went to
the showers with the other players
lie showed his sportsmanship by
striking just the right note of con
ISOLATION with the distressed Pirates
Whether Cuyler's presence in the
/ lineup would have aided the team is
controversial and will be argued
through the long winter months.

IMPERIAL
BANK IS
CLOSED.
State Takes Over Farmers
and Merchants Institu.
ton Today.
M'FALL In CHARGE
Sign on Door Only Advice
To DepOsitOrs that Bank
Is In Difficulty.

The Farmers and Merchants Bank
of Imperial failed to open it's doors
for business this morning.
Persons in passing were attracted
to the door by simple notice an
nouncing the closing of the bank.
IT was signed by Will G. Woods, su
perintendent of banks of the state
of California and declared merely
that the state had taken over the
bank, its properties and business in
accordance with the provision of
section 136 Of the state banking
laws.
John McFall, chief of the south
ern division Of the state banking
department, has been placed in
charge at the bank and under his
surveyance complete audit of the
books and accounts is being made.
When asked what had caused the
state officials to close the doors of
the bank lie said that the officials
were not prepared at this time to
make an official statement.
81 will say only this. A liquidat
or will be appointed in very few
days and every effort will be made
to expedite settling all difficulties.
Those having claims against the
bank will then be asked to file such
claims with us and the work of set
Ting them will Begin -.
To Make Audit
Asked relative to the manner in
which such settlement would be
made the official declared:
Each bank has two distinct de-
partments, commercial and savings.
These accounts will be thoroughly
audited and separate settlement of
accounts in each department made.
The savings department of course
comes under more rigid surveyance
relative to its investments and in
cases such as this o greater percent
age of return can usually be made
to the depositors. In case of sur
plus in either department the money
is transferred to the other depart
ment and is used to help make up
the deficit. The stockholders of the
bank are then of course liable for
pny further shortage in the ac-
counts. -
The Farm and Home Loan asso-
citation hold the majority of the
stock in the bank. George Damron
is president; w. r. Wells. vice
president and Richard Ramsey, see
rctary and treasurer.
While closing the bank created
some dependency about the bust
ness section of Imperial this morn
ing it was regarded by the majority
of business men as an inevitable
move. Several expressed optimistic
views relative to the closing saying
that it was generally believed that
the doors had been shut before amy
great loss was incurred.
None of the officials of the bank
could be reached this morning to
give statement as to the closing.
