CANNED HEAT
CAUSES DEATH
OF Z BRAWLEYITE

w. j. Earr, 3S, of Brawloy was
found dead in his room in a japanese
rooming house on the east side of
Brawley at s O'Clock this morning.
The body was found on the bed in
his room by the proprietor of the
Place when he went to the room,
suspicious that something was
wrong. A number of "canned heat"
cans lying about are believed to tell
the story of Barr death.
While Barr was not regarded as
habitual drinker, he was known to
indulge frequently and it is be-
lieved that excessive drinking of
canned heat caused a heart at
tack.
The body was removed to the un-
dertaking parlors of w. l. Hopes
where an inquest was to be held by
Coroner B. f. Lemons this afternoon.
Barr had been about Brawley for
some time. He had previously been
employed on a dairy near Brawley
but had been working in the city
for the last few months. He has no
immediate relatives in the valley.

EDRICHSHAFEN, Nov. /. -
Germany's greatest air liner came
back to the fatherland today after
an cpochal cruise that took it over
two continents and an ocean.
The Graf Zeppelin settled to tho
ground here at 1850 a. m. 0:05 a. m.
eastern time) and was created by %
throng of sleepy-eyed Germans who
had waited all night at the hangar
to welcome DR.. Hugo Eckener and
his triumphant crew.
The trip from Lakehurst, n. j.,
took II hours and II minutes.
1t was a goodnatured crowd that
tumbled out of the few beds in this
town at 4:30 n. m. when the Graf.
Zeppelin was reported sighted. Those
who were unable to get beds, slept
on the ground. Shouts went up as
the whirring of the Zeppelin s mo-
tors were heard, and the ground
crew gathered at the airport to help
bring the huge bag to earth.
But a long wait was ahead of the
crowd, for Eckener decided to
cruise above Lake Constances until
the ground fog lifted and dawn gave
him better chance to bring the
airship down in safety. Off the
Zeppelin headed, gliding easily
above the lake. Occasionally the
long shape of the ship would be mir
rored in the water as patch of
moonliSh Illuminated tho seane-es~
The crowd sensed that it had been
privileged to stand by while history
was being made, and hilarious shouts
floated up through the night to tho
passengers and crew of the airship.
Chairs were at premium as the
crowd waited impatiently for the
Graf Zeppelin to come down. 1t
passed the time by cheering as
Eckener was made an honorary
citizen of Friedrichshafen.
Airplanes of the Lufthansa Conn
pany went aloft i'll a formal salute
to the airship that was at the end
of 10,000-mile tour
Apparently the crowd had come
from all parts of Germany, for many
dialects were heard in the constant
roar of voices, cannons doomed out
in honor of the Zeppelin and the
noise of the greeting was carried
over most of Europe by a hook up
of 81 radio stations.
Now it was dawn and out of the
clear sky came the dirigible sailing
low over Friedrichshafen. The
crowd broke out into fresh cheering
as it saw the passengers and crew
of the Zeppelin waving from the
cabin windows. Spectators grew
wildly enthusiastic, and occasionally
one of them would run to the micro
phone and shout a greeting to friends
or relatives listening in. somewhere

DECENERATES TO
BE QUESTIONED
IN GIRLS CASE
Victim of Mysterious
Burning Reported To Be
Near Death.
BY JACK F. HERTZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

LAKE BLUFF, H., Nov. !. =
Three suspected degeneratcs will be
questioned today in connection with
the burning of Miss Elfrieda Knaak,
pretty Deerfield, H., Sunday school
teacher, who was found burned and
almost dead in the basement of the
Lake Bluff police station.
Miss Knaak is in a Lake Forest
hospital in critical condition.
Physicians said she has only q slight
chance to live.
The three suspects, Detective Ed
Hargrcavcs said, were named by
Charles W. Hitchcock, handsome vii
Iagc policeman who had been teach
ing Miss Knaack craftsmanship and
elocution.
One of them, Hitchcock told Har-
greaves, is n Cornell graduate who
recently was released from an in
sane asylum.
Another of the suspects is gar
dencr who has molestcd women
along the north shore between Lake
Bluff and Waukcgan, Hargreaves
said.
The third is a highly respected
married man of Lake Bluff, general
ly known to have molested children
in that village, the detective said
Hitchcock told him.
Another question confronting the
investigators was that of who re-
ceived the phone calls made Monday
night at 9:45 from Highland Park
to the Lake Bluff police station by
Miss Knaak. Hargreaves has ascer-
tanned that the calls were put
through and received.
Barney Rosenhagen, Lake Bluff
chief of police, in n statement, said
he was in the station at 9 p. NJ. that
night with his dog. He sat in his
office Il short time and his dog
nosed about as was its custom.
Then he locked the station and
went home. lie said he was certain
no one was in the station at that
time.
Mrs. Edward b. Clark, proprietor
of Il tea room, who lives in house
adjoining the police station, recalled
today that her dog aroused her at
$50 Tuesday morning.
Miss Knaak was found proppcd
up against the furnace at Il. m.

ROSE DECLARES
HOOVER STAUNCH
FRIEND OF BILL

Mark Rose, director of the I'M
perial Irrigation district, and "fath.
or" of the SWING Johnson bill,
today gave the Press the following
signed statement, upholding the
contention that Herbert Hoover is
q friend to the Colorado river legis-
lation:
"Mr. Hoover became directly in
terested in the Colorado River mat
ter as chairman of the Colorado
River Commission in 1921, and since
that time everything he has done
end every statement he Ras made
relative to Colorado river legislation,
has indicated that he is an outstand-
ing supporter and friend of the
Boulder Dam project. He has made
no statement which could honestly
be interpreted to mean anything
else. This project is not one of
public ownership and never has
been.
"Thc primary purposes of the
Boulder Dam are flood control, silt
control, and storage for reclamation
and domestic use, all of which are
governmental purposes and as Mr..
Hoover himself has repeatedly said,
the development of power is a by
product of these other purposes.
The present bill provides that the
Secretary of the Interior in the dis
position of power or power priVi-
lcgcs shall follow the general pro-
visions of the Federal Water Power
Act which accords preference to
cities and other public agencies.
The government cannot distribute
power and the government under the
bill can do no more than sell power
wholesale at the switch board.
These provisions are in accord with
the statements which Mr.. Hoover
repeatedly made before the commit
tees and which he has recently made
i'm public addresses.
"Mr. Hoover has stated that VIC
are fortunate in having the power
from which the cost of the project
can be returned to the government
and it is one of the few propositions
ever put up to the government on a
strictly business basis. All of the
Officers and directors of Imperial
Irrigation district are supporting
Mr.. Hoover.'
