so. CALIFORNIA
DRENCHED BY
SEVERE STORM
Heavy DSmage Caused at
Santa Ana When Gale
Strikes City.
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4.-South-
ern California was suffering today
from the effects of one of the most
severe rain storms of the season.
The southland was drenched
throughout the night by a heavy
downpour which imperilled automo-
biles and stranded camping parties
in the mountains.
A severe windstorm which swept
the northwest section of Santa Ana
early today did considerable dam
age.
Garages were smashed, the wall
Of q house caved in, the roof of
the city reservoir blown off and
fences and trees blown down, re-
ports from Santa Ana said.
The windstorm was preceded by
thunder and lightning.
Twenty students from Occidental
College and an unknown number
from University of Southern Cali
fornia were reported stranded at
Switzer Camp, in the mountains
near Pasadena. A washed out trail
made it impossible for the hikers
to return y the city.
Attempts were being made also
to communicate with Opid's Camp.
Three Anaheim and Fullerton
high school students were in a hos
pital at San Bernardino as the re-
suit Of an accident last night. The
automobile in which they were en-
route to Lake Arrowhead plunged
several hundred feet off the Rim
of.the-World highway. The trio
was expected to recover.
The Los Angeles river was car
rying heavy flow of water and
some foothill streams had become
raging torrents.
The Mt. Wilson region reported
3% inches of rain in the "a hours
ending at IL a. IN. today. Nearby
towns were well over the two inch
mark.
Los Angeles, which was affected
less than other points in the vici-
nifty, had had 1.25 inches of rain
for the storm. The season s mark
was 7.03 inches as compared with
6.02 for this date last wear.

Hemp Hearing
To Continue In
San Diego Monday

Hearing in regard to the Imperial
Linen Products company was ad-
journed yesterday afternoon after a
number of local business and pro-
fessional men had testified, to. be
continued Monday in San Diego.
The hearing is being conducted by
j. NJ. Friedlander, state commission
er of corporations, and Hal.
Wolch, his assistant.
The purpose of the hearing or in
vestigation was to get at the mar
cotic analysis of hemp with the
view of determining whether or not
its growth in the valley, at the in
stance of the linen company, would
be of detrimental nature.
A number of witnesses were call
ed throughout the morning and aft
ernoon session in Judge Mayfield S
court yesterday, resulting in a pre-
ponderance of evidence favorable to
the growth of hemp in the valley.
The hearing in San Diego will
have to do mostly with the appear
dltt VI VI tic NOhi'
, pany and an inspection of the work
being done on the erection of a lin
en- mill in the coast city.
The hearing brought out that
while hemp, marijuana and various
other plants are all of the straiT
known as "canabis sativa" there
is very little narcotic element il
the plant grown here as hemp. The
low altitude of the valley is be
lievcd in part responsible for this
fact.
1t was also pointed out that the
general belief of those interested
in the valley is to the effect that
the misuse of the product here as
grown for commercial purposes viii
be practically negligible.
The linen company expects to be
in position to use approximately
1000 acres of hemp from the valley
annually.

THREE ARRESTED
IN WESTM0RLAND
SHOOTING CASE

With the arrest of three Mexicans,
all residents of Westmorland late
yesterday afternoon attaches at the
sheriff s office believe that some
light will be thrown on the mystery
surrounding the shooting to death
Of Cruz Lugan, halfbreed Mexican
and negro, in Westmorland early
Wednesday morning.
The three arrests yesterday after
noon are: Manuel Saleido, %; Jose
Rodriguez, 80, and A. Duran, A.
Authorities believe that among
the three they have the men who
were engaged in card game with
Lugan a short time prior to his
death. Attaches of the sheriff S of
flee and the district attorneys of
flee spent the greater part of the
evening and this morning in examin'
ing the men but made no statement
as to what had been learned through
the questioning. They intimated
however, that solution to the mys-
terry shooting was near.
An autopsy performed on the body
of the dead man revealed that only
one bullet had entered his body al
though there were two bullet holes
in his chest. 1t was learned that the
bullet had entered the body, cut its
way through two main arteries and
cut slight furrow in the man s
heart, then emerged through the
| chest on the other side of the body.
With the roundup of the three
men it is expected that the inquis-
ition into the death will be held
late today although it is possible
that it will be put over until Mon
day.
Three other men have been in
custody since the morning of the
murder and will be questioned at
/ the inquest. These include the two
proprietors of the pool hall in which
Lugan had been engaged in the card
game and in front of which his
body was found the following morn
ing. The other is u restaurant pro.
prietor.

his latest visit to the coast cities.
| "The future of Southern Cali
fornia depends entirely on the wa,
ter that can be obtained to develop
the rest of this wonderful empire, y
Colonel Copley said. "Settle that
question and you have made every
provision necessary for your fu
ture.'
The Colonel declared his visit tC
Imperial Valley was a revelation tt
him, and caused him one of thu
happiest days in his life. "M.
father and mother pioneered in the
state of Illinois," he said, $50 tina
I have keen appreciation of thu
difficulties that beset your pioneer

"Of course, it would be i'm
possible for one country to abol-
