man scientists had spent much money and effort pre-
pairing to make observations Of it. They established a
base in Siam, established themselves there and waited
for the day TO come.
And then the sky was so cloudy that they were
baffled. Not a glimpse Of the eclipse did they get.
Their time and money were completely wasted. There
was nothing to do but 20 home and wait for the next
one.
Who but scientists would gamble 50 heavily on the
chance OF good weather.

New York Letter
BY RICHARD MASsoCK

NEW YORK June 22-Two OF the most unusual
figures that ever stepped into the Madison Square
Garden arena are prepared to give a free show the
afternoon Of June 17-free except for a few expected
to pay the pair some $5.OOO.OOO
In one corner. ladies and gentlemen, will be Ed
ward W.. Daddy Browning. In the other will be
Joseph P. million Dollar Day.
But the show these two will give will be no gladi-
atorial exhibition. It will be the act OF two real es-
tate operators. teamed together for one performance
OF property selling.
ADJ REALT FOR TOYS
Browning. who made Frances Peaches) Heenan
into a vaudeville attraction merely by marrying her,
will provide the properties-58 parcels, including Of
flee, loft and apartment buildings.
These Day will dispose of to the highest bidders,
repeating through a loudspeaker offers radioed from
the outlying tiers that seat $1,000 spectators.
There will be reserved seats for women, a press
stand and perhaps usual hot dogs vended in the Gar
den.
Browning is selling his properties, he says, to II
nance a foundation for the distribution Of toys TO
young hospital patients. His fondness for children IS
rather widely known.
BIG TINE AUCTIONEER
To Joseph r. Day it will probably be just another
auction. For Day. a 56-year-old native New Yorker.
AAdS hiOShSu uoMn HluIlOIS ana mllIlOnS OF dollars
worth Of real estate in the past 30 years.
Much Of his success-he was a dry goods salesman
50 years ago-is attributed to advertising. His sigma
ture IS splashed over whole pages Of the metropoli-
tan newspapers. He often uses a quarter-page to at
tract the eye Of some millionaire.
After trying to sell dry goods, he took up insurance
and in 1898 negotiated one Of the largest accident in
surance policies ever written. It protected street rail-
way companies against accidents that might result
from the electrification OF horse-cars.
From insurance he worked his way into real estate
and by 1909 had sold more than 500. 100000 worth Of
city and suburban property. Since then he has dis
posed OF many millions more.
Days record for continuous auctioneering is p
hours. 1t took that long to sell the United States
shipping boards wartime houses in New Jersey, be-
cause Of the jeers. cat-calls and even threats against
his life that came from angry tenants who thought he
was about to evict them.
On numerous occasions he has lent his salesman
ship to public or n-on-commercial projects. During
the war he was an ace fund-raiser for various drives,
collecting more than $50 100000 at one Liberty Loan
rally.
"A Tammany man. he was instrumental in bringing
the 1924 democratic national convention to New York.
And in 1922 he sponsored the swimming race in which
Gertrude Ederle made her debut as a long-distance
star.
So Joseph p. Day will be right at home in the
big arena.

DOCTOR CLEARS
UP AUTOPSY IN
FINN'S DEATH

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81 W.nA-
One point less remains to be cleared
up in the investigation Of cireum-
stances surrounding the death of
George Lafayette Finn, former lows,
state senator, today, following in
formation that an autopsy was actu-
ally performed on the body.
Appearing voluntarily before Dep
uty District Attorney Daniel Beech
er yesterday, DR.. Frank Murphy
stated the autopsy was made by DIR.
Holden Jones and that he was pres
ent. The physician said also that
the wealthy Iowan who died here
last January, sucenmbed from ma
tural causes.
Mrs. Gladys McAfee, grand niece
of the senator, had claimed, accord.
ing to Beecher, that she was billed
for an autopsy which she did not
believe was performed.
Finn, reported to have complained
shortly before his death that he was
being poisoned, requested the au'
topsy in the interests Of science, DR..
Murphy told Beecher.
Investigation of the case was be-
gun recently after Mrs. McAfec
asked assistance of the district at
torney's office in determining if a
second will left by the senator had
been forged. She was bequeathed q
fortune in Finn's first will but was
not named in the later document.

Dewey johnson and II. l.. Martin,
shot when a iailer quelled riot
among drug prisoners in
:ank in county Jail here early Mon
day, were reported recovering at
local hospital today.
Ordered by the county board of
supervisors to make complete re
port of the riot, Sheriff c. X
Wright declared the prisoners had
obtained a supply of marajuana.
Under its influence eight of them
set about smashing the heavily
barred plate glass windows of their
tank. Seeking cause for the commo-
tion, a jailcr rushed to the peep
hole in the cell door.
One of the prisoners broke the
glass and gouged at his face with
broom handle. The jailer thrust his
revolver through the opening and
started shooting.
Johnson, held on federal charges,
and Martin, alleged bogus c h Q c k
passer, were wounded. Their injuries
were said not to be serious.
The tank was the same one from
which seven prisoners sawed their
way to freedom on December Is.

WIDE DIFFERENCE
ON CONDITION OF
STATE FINANCES
Conflicting Reports Sent
Out By Riley And
Heron.

SACRAMENTO, Dee. 81 dip
Two widely conflicting reports Of
California's financial condition -
one picturing it on the verge Of
bankruptcy; the other optimistieally
telling of an overflowing treasury
were given to the voters of Cali
fornia today, at the close of the old
year.
Both were by duly constituted
state authorities, but the fact that
primary election is only few
months away may account for the
difference of opinion.
State Controller Ray l.. Riley,
candidate for governor, said:
"The state faces n $12,000,000
general fund deficit during the next
two years, with the largest surplus
in the states history destroyed, if
Governor Young's administration
continues it's prodigal expenditure Of
public funds"
A: r. Heron, the governors finah
cial lieutenant, replied:
"California's treasury shows cash
on hand and in banks Of $4,000, 900.
This will be sufficient to meet all
probable obligations Of the state for
the present fiscal year"
Although Governor Young's can
didacy has been understood for some
time, his close advisors predict it
will be formally announced within
a few weeks, in order that the ex-
eeutiye may reply ~ in person ssa,s,,,a4 to the

allegations and said: "If the present

COAST GUARD IS
ONLY DOING DUTY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 U.H -
Three liquor smugglers who los;
their lives while attempting to es'
cape from coast guard vessel Sat
urday "have no one to blame but
themselves" Assistant Treasury
Secretary Seymour Lowman said to-
day.
"The loss Of life at Newport the
other day was unfortunate but un-
avoidable," Lowman added. "The
laws of the United States must be
maintained. The smugglers defiet
the government Officers and took
their punishment. They have no ono
to blame but themselves"
Lowman said the official report
on the incident received by him to-
day did not materially alter the
facts as already published by the
press. He said:
"On account Of the New Years de-
mand, an unusual effort has been
made by smugglers to land liquor
along the Atlantic coast.
"The amount Of liquor leaving the
base Of supply at st. Pierre, a French
possession off the Canadian coast, and
from Nova Scotia, is known to the
customs service. The amount that
has been seized is very gratifying.
The coast guard has done we'll"
The assistant secretary's state
ment was the first official word on
the killings since Rear Admiral
Frederick C. Billiard, coast guard
commandant, supported his men with
a warning that the coast guard
"means business"
Lowman declined to amplify his
brief statement, but explained the
entire case now is in the hands of
federal authorities in Rhode Island
who will arrange a defense of the
coast guardsmen involved in the
shooting.
