 Ignored Advice

Los Angeles. March 23 P-The St, Francis dam disaster cast its shadow over the little settlement in San Francisqulto canyon for two days before the huge concrete wall collapsed, but the warnings issued lacked sufficient force and authority 10 cause immediate evacuation. The result was the loss Of some 45o lives and untold property damage,
 Such was the testimony revealed before a coroner's jury here in which several residents of the area immediately below the dam told their stories.
 Two Saw Danger
 Al least two men--L. Berry. power house foreman, who died in the deluge, and Dave Matthews. a survivor, saw the warning shadow. Matthews in tostifying revealed that Berry and himself had in spected the dam Saturday. March 9, the break occurred just after midnight March 13) and that Berry had said.
 Boys. the dam is not safe" Robert E. Atmore, q rancher liv- ing above the dam, testified that he had sounded warnings mp and down the valley to that effect.
 On Monday (the day before the break) William Mulholland. chief engineer of the Los Angeles water bureau and builder Of St. Francis dam, together with II. A. Van Nor man, his chief assistant inspected the concrete structure, and, while they found that everything was not as il should be, there were no in dications of an immediate break The tiny impulses of fear which had beset those in the shadow of the dam were quioted for the time.

The team Is somewhat puzzled at

THE team seems puzzled at this

they are sailing for foreign shores"
General Douglas Macarthur said to-
day. These fine young Americans
do not understand this shipping from

unaffected and they appear serene

Arthur said that If protest or an
application was made in behalf Of
these selections they would be con-
sidered by the Olympic committee.
He points out that their selection

to the ST. Louis Browns. has taken
the leadership among American
league pitchers from George Addi-
son Grant. the young man who has
been doing SO well for Cleveland.
Records including games of We'd
nesday show that Grant dropped his
first game of the season to the Phil
a6elphia Athletics, giving him a
mark Of sever games won and one
lost. Crowder has won nine games
and lost one.
Lou Gehrig replaced Tony Lazzeri
as the Yankee threat against
Goose" Goslin's batting leadership
while another threat appeared in the
person of Al Simmons Of the Phil
adelphia Athletics. unofficial figures
show. The Washington outfielder,
who has been out of the game doc
toring his throwing arm, was at bat
only once during the week and fail
ed to hit that time, thus reducing
his average two points to 400.
Meanwhile Simmons went on a
rampage and tackled 80 points onto
his standing to end the weeks play
with an average OF .377. which was
good for second place. Gehris
boosted his standing seven points ia
take third place with an average OF
.372. Simmons. however, has played
in only - games as compared with
Gehrig's so.
Other leading hitters were: Laz-

The Yankees dropped four points
in team batting to 1904 but they
were still II points in front OF the
Athletics, who boosted their stand
ing five points to .293 and passed
the Cleveland Indians.
The Boston Red Sox continued
their brilliant defensive work and
end the weeks play with an average
of 1916, three points better than the

JONAH'S tale NOT
JUST FISH Story
So Asserts Preacher Who Seeks
TO Prove Il

Cheltenham, England. July IA. R)
One of the strangest investiga-
lions of all times is beings carried
on here by the Rev. John Ambrose
Wilson, an alumnus OF Queens Col
lege. Oxford.
The Rev. Mr.. Wilson is seeking
TO prove that Jonah was not telling
a fish story and that he really in
habited a whale for awhile.
Since the publiction of an arti-
Gle in the Princeton Theological
Review the Rev. Mr.. Wilson has
been deluged with letters giving
him further evidence for his theory
that it was physically, biologically
and otherwise possible for Jonah to
have lived three days inside the
whale. The English clergyman now
is preparing another article to con-
firm the first.
He maintains that Jonah was not
the only person swallowed by a
whale. He cited two other cases, one
of recent times. Recently. however,
his attention has been called by
correspondents to possible addi-
tional cases, which he is investi-
eating. He is likewise looking up
more confirmatory facts on the two
cases already cited.
Il wouldn't advise anyone else to
try to book passage on a whale"
Mr.. Wilson said. HE would find
the mammals stomach a pretty
hot place. The heat within the
whale has been estimated at 104
degrees Fahrenheit.
when James BARLEY, one of the
crew of the whaler Star of the
East was swallowed by whale in
1891. near the Falkland Islands, he
emerged the next day. after his
shipmates had captured the whale,
with his hands face and neck per-
manently bleached sickly white.
This was caused by the whales
gastric Juices. Barley said. more
over. that the terrific heat in the
whales belly seemed to deprive
him of all vitality"
The second instance upon which
the Rev. Mr.. Wilson relies is that
of Marshall jenkins. related by the
Boston Post Boy in III. Jenkins
was swallowed by a sperm whale
and shortly afterward thrown out
upon the wreckage of his boat. He
was bruised. but not seriously In
1ured.

HEENEY RESUMES
TRAINING TODAY
Challenger Greatly Refreshed by
&.Hour Layoh

Fair Haven, n. j., July IA RI
Refreshed by twenty-four hour
lay-off, Tom Heeney resumes train
ing today for his worlds heavy
weight championship match with
Gene Tunney in New York a week
from Thursday night.
The challenger deferred his box
ing until tonight when he will work
out under powerful lights oyer his
ring in field adjoining the barn In
which he does his other training.
Rain forced Heeney to suspend all
training activity yesterday. He did
not move out Of his quarters until
night when he went to Long Branch
to cheer from the ringside Phil Mer-
curio one of his sparring boys in
his bout with the veteran Battling
Levinsky.
Heeney plans to continue to work
out nights until the finish of his
training grind. He likes to box at
night because it is cooler. The chat-
lenger works SO strenuously that he
melted off four to six pounds every
time he performed in the oppressive
heat of midday.
When Heeney climbs through the
ropes to meet Tunney in the Yankee
Stadium across his broad shoulders
will be one of the strangest looking
bathrobes ever seen inside the ring.
1t is Maori cloak, made of fibre
and feathers. and presented to him
by Lady Carroll. widow of Sir James
Carroll. former member of the New
Zealand parliament. The cloak Is
similar to the ones worn by chief
tain of the native Maori tribesmen
in New Zealand. in time of battle.
