King Winter
Back On Job
by United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Oct. -. = The first
breath of winter was sweeping into
the midwest today from the slopes
of Alaska.
Snow, hail and high winds already
have enveloped the western plains
and Rocky mountain states. The
weather, bureau here predicted that
by the time the football teams kick
off for Saturdays games, the tenn
pcratures in this region will have
dropped from 40 degrees to below
freezing.
The mercury is due to skid rapid
ly in Chicago from a record high of
S7.2 degrees for Oct. II. At ! n. m.
today the temperature was ~ de-
grccs but by dawn it had begun to
fall, slowly at first.
Apple growers in Utah reported
heavy losses resulting from the sud
den cold snap around Logan. Hun
drcds of orchards where the crop
had not been harvested were blan-
kcted under eight inches of snow.
Snow also fell in Montana, Wy
oming and North Dakota.
Hail storms leveled corn fields
and damaged small buildings in Ne

DOCTOR OPERATES
UPON HIMSELF
FOR APPENDICITIS
Ky United Press Leased Wire

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 12-Dr.
Robert Meals, Hollywood surgeon, is
recuperating today from an opera
tion for appendicitis which he per-
formed on himself.
Using only local anesthetic, DR..
Meals made the incision, cut the in
flamed appendix loose and then
closed the wound.
Because the appendix was located
so high and held by adhesions he
was forced to call on a physician
to loosen it. Except for that one
action, DR.. Meals performed the
operation without assistance.
The complete medical staff usual
in appendicitis operations stood by
throughout in case DR.. Meals was
unable to continue at any time.
DR.. Meals said his idea in opera
ting on himself was to study the
reaction of u patient to such an
operation and TO determine if the
shock of a full ancsthcsia is not
more harmful than the actual
operation.
For the operation, DR.. Meals was
propped on an operating table with
pillows Mt his shoulders and behind
bis head.
He wore surgeons gown and
rubber gloves. After the anesthesia
was applied, DR.. Meals went on with
the operation the same as if he was
working on another patient.
After la cut through his abdomen
he ran into the first and only
trouble encountered in the process.
The appendix was in such position
that he was unable to see it.
DIR. j. n. Nichols took charge at
that time loOscned the appendix
and brought it to position where
DR.. Meals could reach it and con
cludc the operation. DIR. Nichols
said that was the only part he took
in the ease.

By United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. - a
request that state officials take up
investigation of the shooting of
Mrs. Cora Mead today awaited ac-
tion by U. S. Webb, attorney gen
eral.
The request was made by Walter

uty in the attorney generals office,
and urged early action on it.
A letter was received by George
Hatfield, United States district at
torney, from Stanford Smith, dis
trict attorney of Santa Cruz county,

FIGHT ON OREGON

TO COMMISSION
Organized Effort Made
To Defeat States Elec-

BY CECIL OWEN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-An
organized campaign by power utili-
ties interests in opposition to a
state amendment authorizing Ore
gon to enter the power business was
described today in the federal trade
commission utility propaganda in
quiry.
Executives of utility corporations
formed special committee in 1926
to combat the proposed amendment,
II. l.. Walther, manager of the Ore
gon public utilities information
bureau, testified.
The campaign, which cost nearly
100000 was conducted through lit
erature against the amendment,
speeches, newspaper advertising,
and personal activities of utility
employees, Walther said.
The campaign cost was borne by
private utility corporations and en-
rloyes of these corporations were
encouraged to ego out and argue
against the amendmcnt,' Walther
said.
Though the campaign was not
waged by the Oregon utility bureau
itself, Walther explained, it was
carried on by special committee
comprising the same men who for
med the publicity bureau.
A campaign of information
against the amendment was or
ganized by this special committee
known as the "Oregon public utility
committee opposed to the house
wives amendment.
Newspapers were sent material
against the amendment through the
weekly news service maintained by
| the publicity bureau, the witnes,
said. Virtually every newspaper in
| the state received this material and
some papers printed parts of it, he
added.
Speeches were made by utility at
torneys and employees before civic
! clubs, chambers of commerce ant
/ other gatherings, Walther said, add
Ling, in response to a question, that
efforts were made by the committe,
to- obtain such speaking engage

HOOVER FACES
DIFFICULT TASK
in FINAL WEEK
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Corresponds ent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Herb-
ert Hoover and his managers are
facing a delicate problem in cam
paign strategy involving the date
of the Republican candidates de
parture for California to east his
ballot.
The problem is whether it is more
important for Hoover to leave early
so he may visit doubtful" states
on his way west, thus leaving the
eastern field open to Governor Al
fred f. Smith in the lest few days,
or to remain here as late as possible
for any last minute developments
and eliminate western stops.
Smith is planning an eastern
swing in the last week which will
start in Boston and carry him to
Newark, n. j., Baltimore and Phila-
delphia, with two closing speeches
in Brooklyn and New York, the lat
ter in Madison Square Garden the
Saturday night before election.
Smith is known to feel the last week
in campaign the most important.
He will devote all his energy to that
final eastern swing. The New York
governor believes he has won most
of his New York campaigns by a
"break' in the last week and he
plays for the "break. " There may
be a surprise in the last week of
this campaign, and Hoover and his
managers know that.
The Republican candidate coul(
leave here as late as Nov. l or
and get to California for the elec
tion, if he went direct. He would
then be here almost through Smith Is
final week, which ends Nov. 3.

STANFORD FEARS
HARD FIGHT in
BRUIN CONTEST
by United Press Leased Wire

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct,
12.-Thc Stanford Cardinals may
lose to University of California at
Los Angeles here tomorrow in Stan
ford's second conference game, but
it will not be because of overcon-
fidence.
As matter of fact, everybody
on the campus from Pop Warner
down is expecting the toughest
kind of competition from the baby
members of the conference. Stan
ford scouts who watched the south
erners slaughter Caltech last week
brought back predictions of a des
perate struggle when Spaulding s
eleven comes here.
Stanford will enter the game
without the services of Wilton
l,alfback and safety man; Artman
tackle; and Harder, end. Moreover
there is considerable doubt as tC
whether Heinccke will be at his cen
ter position.
With these four regulars out OF
the game, Stanford is nothing like
the fine offensive machine that
dealt out so much misery to Oregon
last week.
Stanford will outweigh the Griz
lilies considerably. The southern
forwards are fairly heavy and will
weigh nearly as much as the Card
inal line. But the heavy Stanford
backs will tip the beam at a mucl
higher figure than Spaulding' .
fleet but light galloping brigade.

OFFICERS FIND
CLEVER STILL ON
NORTHERN RANCH
Underground Plant Keeps
Deputies Guessing For a
Long Time.

One of the most skillfully con-
cealed bootleg" haunts ever un-
covered in the Imperial valley was
discovered by Deputy Sheriffs Sharp
and Christian and Chief Holmes of
Calipatria on a ranch near Salton
Sea yesterday afternoon. The Of
ficers found an underground room
with cement walls and heavily
boarded roof and in it still, two
barrels of mash and other parapher-
MALTA used in the manufacture of in
toxicating liquors.
Earlier in the day the officers
had visited the ranch. They had OBJ
tanned information which led them
to believe that there was q still on
the place, but a thorough search of
the ground failed to reveal it. They
went to the home of Frank Harold
on the property and conducted a
thorough search.
Christian in fumbling about in a
cupboard, found false compart-
ment and in it small quantity of
liquor. Another cleverly concealed
compartment similar to it was found
in another cupboard, but no intoxi-
cants were within.
They arrested Harold and being
arraigned before Judge Griffin in
Brawley he pleaded guilty to a
charge of unlawful possession of in
toxicating liquor. lie was sentenced
to pay n fine of 5000 or spend 90
days in the county Jail. He was
committed to the custody of the
sheriff in default of payment of the
fine.
But the officers were not satisfi-
ed. After taking Harold to Jail
they returned to the ranch. They
conducted thorough search through
the underbrush, the logical place for
still, but were unable to find it..
Harold was constructing a duck
pond nearby and a considerable por-
ton of the land in the immediate
vicinity was dragged. The Off
GERS thought nothing of this at first
but finally centered their attention
on it.
Plant Kept Clean
Then digging into the ground
they uncovered the bootleg
chamber. A trap door was found
in the heavy wooden top and a wood
en- stairway carried them beneath
the ground to Il room approximate
" 10 feet square. 1t had heavy
cement walls and heavily boarded
top.
"Harold must be credited with
one thing" declared Sharp, cit
was spic and span within. The still,
about a 2O-gallon affair, was of all
copper make and neatly polished. a
gasoline burner furnished the heat
for the manufacture of the liquor
and there were two barrels of mash
The Officers believe that Harold
merely dropped the trap door ana
dragged over the ground above the
chamber whenever danger of its dis
eovcry lurked.
According to the deputies Harold
admitted that he was conducting the
still when questioned later. He is
said to have made the following de-
claration:
"Well if you fellows found that
still Pm ready to plead guilty and
go to San Quentin. l do not own
the still but it was in my possession
and / was running it. I'm ready to
take all the blamc.'
1t is expected that formal charges
will be filed against the defendant
