DR.. DYER HEAVES
KITCHEN UTENSILS
AT HIS ENEMIES
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. -. = a
small aluminium saucepan made a
short flight across the kitchen of
the pastorate of the Wiltshire Boule-
ward Congregational church and to
all intents ended one of the most
! bitter factional fights Los Angeles
has known.
The afore- mentioned saucepan
was propelled by the sturdy preach
ing arm of DIR. Frank Dyer, whose
control was perfect, and it crashed
to the floor only after striking its
target, Theodore Maynard S mid
riff.
DIR. Dyer wound up for 4 second
pitch but deputy sheriffs intcrcedcd
and Maynard, anti-Dyer leader, was
saved from further rib smart.
The saucepan episode took place
late last night when DR.. Dyer made
a final inspection of the pastorate
from which he was elected forcibly
on a court order yesterday. His
personal furniture was moved into
She street by deputy shcriffs.
Kitchen utensils took his eye and
lac aimed them in the general dircc-
tion of his church enemies who "a
companied deputy sheriffs escOrting
the minister on the last. look for
personal belongings.
To Keep UP Fight
MAYNARD was close to DR.. Dyer
and Maynard was too Sow on the
dodge.
Today Dir. Dyer's household goods
were in storage and he was under
a court order to keep away from the
wiltshire Congregational church and
its pastoratc.
The minister said he had not Civ
on up the fight and would take legal
steps to regain control of the church
but it was generally believed that
the anti-Dyer faction could block
any move he made.
DR.. Dyer was oustcd from the
church when Superior Judge f. y.
Rector held with members of the
congregation that "Dr. Dyer acted
in manner unbccoming n min
ister. And therefore had vio-
lated his contract with the church.
The preacher previously lost mem
bcrship in the Los Angeles Congre-
gational' Association when an ecclr-
siastical trial body found him guilty
of the same charge.

DOUBLE SHOOTING
ON BOARDER NEAR
CUDAM RANCH

A love tangle is believed to have
been the cause of shooting in
Hechira, Mexico, so miles east of
Mexicali last night, in which two
persons were shot, one instantly
killed and the other seriously
wounded. Lucio Gonzales, 50. for
merly a resident of FL Centre is be-
ing sought by police as the muir
derer.
In the first report of the shoot
ing received by MeXicali police and
vater telephoned to police offices
about the valley it was reported that
a man and woman had been shot
and killed. Later the report was
to the effect that two girls, had
been shot, one of them being kill
ed.
The names as submitted later
would uphold this latter report save
for the fact that it was also report
ed at that time that the girls were
sisters. The names were given as
Emilia De Verdugo, shot and killed;
Isabel Romero, wounded.
According to the information
available the Romero girl was the
sweetheart of Gonzales and it was
reported that the shooting had re-
suited from a lovers tangle of some
sort.
Hechira is the site of the old
Cudahy headquarters in Mexico.
The reports as submitted to Mexicali
police and latter translated across
the border were considerably garb-
led and Mexicali police were still
cndeavoring at > O'Clock this after
noon to get them straightened out.
1t was first reported that Con
zales had been dcpOrted from El
Centre on or about January l, but
the records of the immigration of
flee at CalcXico show no such de-
portation and records of city police
here were likewise without any such
information. The immigration re-
cords, did show that Gonzales had
paid n head tax to enter this coun'.
try in 1926.
1t is believed by police that Con
zalcs crosse the border into the
United States at a point north of
Ifechira. He was described as being
dressed like Il cowboy, in fact thls
method of dress had caused MeXi- |
cans to nickname him as 1.-The
Tcxan.' He is about 80 years old,
weight about 100, height about .
feet, 8 inches. He has light com
plcxion and light hair. 1t is believ-
ed that he had a horse available
and will probably use it in making
his getaway.

Yonkers, \. r., June % (P)-That good old dinner table standby, the Irish potato, will sprout lot earlier if 1t is properly gassed and such fa- niiliar woody plants as the lilac and azalea will respond to the same before nature alone would let them,
 Experiments in hastening the processes of natural development by use of chemical vapors and so- lutions have been carried on at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research by Dr. F. F.. Denny, plant physiologist. Dr. Denny, in report ing his results to the American Chemical society, says that sprouts and blossoms have been obtained from two weeks to two months early. In certain instances, he points out. Inc chemical treatment will increase the number of matur- ing buds, influence the rate Of growth and modify the relative de- velopment Of leaves and flowers.
 The experiments were started in a search for improved methods of inducing early germination ot re- gently harvested Irish potatn s, which do not sprout promptly after being dug. In some of the tests tubers were immersed in solatons; in others they were exposed to

Fargo, N. D., June 29 P-Possi- bility that North Dakota would join the small list of states that have TO prohibition laws was seen early today as further reports came in from Wednesdays primary. in which United States Senator Lynn J. Frazier, republican, was renomi- mated.
 A proposal to repeal the prohi- btion clause of this states consti- tuition was behind in available fig ures. but the lead piled up by the "drys' yesterday was being grad ually whittled away.
 The drys ran their advantage up to nearly 5000 votes against repeal, on the first rush of returns from the eastern half of the state, but as the points farther west sent in their figures, this lead came down to the 1 900 mark.
 More than half of the 2,19o pre- cincts of the state remain unre- ported owing to great distances and lack of facilities for fast transmits sion.
