Youth Attempts
To Take Life

William Nordc, 10, Of Imperial

in critical condition as a result of
an alleged attempt to end his own
life last night. The left side of his
face was practically all blown away
by the discharge from l2-gage
shotgun.
1t is rumored that dependency
ever the loss of his hearing was the
cause for the act although this
could not be Z finitely established.
While there is a possibility that he
will live, no great hope was held
cut for his recovery this morning.
An unknown youth reported tn"
shooting to DR.. II. V. Gray at I'm

To Use Films For
Medical Work
by United Press Leased Wire

PARIS, April 16.-Wil Hays,
president of the American Motion
Picture Producers Association, and
George Eastman, the camera manu-
facturer who has just returned from
hunting trip in Africa, conferred
today with Jean Benoit Levy,
French film expert, regarding de-
velopment of the motion picture in
medical and surgical studies.
The idea, which was Hays and
has been heartily endorsed by Ed
Guard Herriot, minister of fine arts,
is to show on the screen details of
the operations of master surgery
and medicine so that students un-
able to be present in the great cen
ters Of learning can follow the mas
ters work i'll detail.
Eastman long has been interest
ed in medical and surgical progress
lie undertook to finance the
scheme when the movement was in
augurated at the annual convocation
of the American College of Surgeons
in Montreal.
Hays and Eastman, profiting by
their stay in Paris, will try to ad-
vance the idea in France, hoping to
gain international cooperation for
the project.

SEVEN ISLANDS, Quebec, April
16.-In face of almost insurmount-
able obstacles, the German-Irish
crew of the Junkers monoplane Bre-
men still hope that they can fly out
from Greenly Island-where they
we're forced to land Friday after
noon-and make their way back to
civilization.
They have obtained material to
make repairs on the Bremen, the
United Press was advised in dis
patches from Blanc Sablon, and are
attempting to get it in shape to con-
tinue their flight as far as possible
to New York if feasible.
\ snowstorm is blowing along the
entire Labrador coast, however, and
it is not believed likely that an at
tempt to take off from icebound
Greenly Island will be made for an
other "a or possibly 4S hours.
The Fairchild monoplane of the
Canadian transcontinental airways,
bearing DR.. Louis Cuisiner and Dam
te Schiller arrived at Greenly ISL
ands last night but it was consider
ed unlikely that even this plane =
which was undamaged in landings
would attempt return trip to Muir
ray bay, from where it started, or
to Seven Islands where it stopped to
refuel, until the velocity of the gale
which is sweeping Belle Isle Straits
is reduced.
Meanwhile, the United Press cor
respondent has received via Blanc
Sablon which is situated on the
mainland, just across from Greenly
Island, connected story of the
flight describing the dangers en-
cOuntered in the westward crossing
of the North Atlantic ocean and the
forced landing which was made on
Greenly Island when the Bremen
with Captain Hermann Koehl, Bar
on Gunther Won Huenefeld and
Commandant James f. Fitzmaurice
aboard-eXhausted her entire fuel
supply.
Fair Weather at Start
After leaving Baldonnel Airdrome
near Dublin, Ireland, Thursday
morning the fliers encountered un-
eXpectedly favorable weather over
the first part of their flight The
wind was blowing against them but
it was not of sufficient velocity to
impede their progress seriously.
At about midAtlantic, however,
the wind became stronger and they
ran into their first serious fog bank
which forced them to dip their
plane down to a dangerously low
altitude.
At a lower altitude they found it
easier to buck the wind but even
! there they were fighting every mile
of their way against the same head
winds which spelled defeat for all
who went before them on attempts
to cross the north Atlantic from
east to west.
Then, when they had flown long

Man Killed AS
Car Overturns

Jesus Bastido, aged 2S, of Holt
vile is dead and two companions
injured as a result Of an automobile
accident on 4 highway about three
miles south of Holtville last night.
\ machine driven by Bastido and
carrying as passengers Recardo
Moirron, +. Domingues and Vim
cente Arosco, plunged over n 80
asot embankment when the driver
momentarily lost control of the
machine. The body of Bastido was
pulled out of a small pool Of water
near the wrecked machine later by
Chief Of Police Cornelison Of Holt
Vile, who had been called to the
scene Of the accident.
Whether Rastido was instantly
killed in the wreck or whether he
was only rendered unconscious and
was drowned in the pool of water
has not been definitely determined
as yet. The belief, however. is that
the latter theory is correct.
DomingucS and Moirron were
quite badly injured and were taken
to the Iloltvillc hospital. Arosco
escaped injury.
Coroner Lemons was summoned
to the scene and the body was or
Gered removed to Field 5 undertake
ing parlor, Holtville, where it is
expected that an inquest will be
held late this afternoon.
Basido had resided in Holtville
for about one gear, coming here
from NIeXicO.

the sister ship of the transatlantic
Bremen.

We're in the plane. They will wait
at Montreal for word from Baron
Gunther Won Huenefeld, and his

for repairs.
Before leaving, Miss Junkers said
an aerial relief party would be or
eanized if weather conditions per-
mitted.
A message was received today
from Huenefeld asking for benzol,
4 new propeller and spare parts. 4
landing gear and spare parts were
shipped to Quebec last night by
train.
"We will carry 100 gallons Of
benzol for the Bremen,' Miss junk
ers said. "Our principal purpose is
to have the F-13, the sister ship, as
close to the Bremen as possible so
that any part needed can be sent to
Greenly Island. That applies partic-
ularly to the propeller now being
used on the F-13 which is the only
one we seem able to locate which
would serve efficiently on the Brc-

Police Shoot It
Out With Bandits
by United Press Leased Wire

LONG BEACH, Cal, April 16. -
One man was shot to death and an
other seriously wounded as thrse
bandits, seeking $4,000 in the safe
OF the Cinderella ballroom on the
Long Beach pike, walked into a po-
lice trap last night.
Earl c. Davis, alias Smith, died
with 10 buckshot and pistol wounds
in his body, Richard Phillips, alias
Frank Wells, was probably fatally
wounded by five buckshot and two
pistol wounds, and an unidentified
man fled to safety.
An informcr's tip resulted in au-
thoritics planting a squad in the
dancc-hall. The gunplay followed
when the bandits elected to "shoot
it out' instead of complying with
the demand to surrender.
