win attempt to scrutinize every
square yard of ground within a mile
radius of the plane. They will force
their way through heavy thickets,

Body Of Senate Will Get
New Measure For Vote
On Monday.

WASHINGTON, June 90. U.p)--
President Hoover won another point
in his contest with Congress over
World War veterans legislation to-
day when the Senate finance COM
mittee reported the House compro-
mise pension bill to the Senate
without a major change.
The bill will not be taken up by
the Senate until Monday.
The decision of the committee
was unanimous after the more lib
eral Walsh-Connaly bill had been
defeated on roll call vote. Advo-
Gates Of the more liberal measure
announced they intenG to make an
other fight against the so-called
Hoover bill when it is brought to
the floor of the Senate Monday for
debate. M
Two minor provisions of the
house measure desired by the Pres
ident were eliminated from the bill.
The first would make veteran in
eligible for disability pension if
ne paid income tax. The second
would have prevented any veteran
entering the service after November
II, 1918, from securing the benefits
of the measure.
Senators Walsh, Democrat, Mass
achusetts, and Connally, Democrat,
Texas, sought to restore the social
disease clause, but lost on tie
vote, 90, with one senator not vot-
ing.
The roll call on the Walsh-Con-
nally bill showed on Republican
and seven Democrats favoring the
measure, including: LaFollette, Re-
publican, Wisconsin, and Democra-
tic Senators Simmons, North Caro-
line; Harrison, Mississippi; George,
Georgia; Walsh, Massachusetts,
Barley, Kentucky; Thomas, Okla
homa, and Connally, Texas.

Appeal To Court

Los ANGELES, June IS. W.H--
Alternate writs of mandate were
granted by the appellat court today
to John NJ. Keller and Leo |. Fairy
on their appeal to be allowed to
prospect for oil and gas on tide
land in Santa Barbara county.
The action was directed against
Lyman NJ. King, director of the
state department of finance and w.
$. Kingsbury, chief of the division
of state lands. The officials were
ordered to appear before the court
September s, to show cause why the
permits should not be granted.
FAIRY alleged that his application
for a permit was refused on the
ground that the site was declared
within the Elwood oil field. Kell-
cr's appeal is based on the ground
that land he sought to drill on was
inadequate, and was later declared
forfeited.

comedian, for non-suit in the
Sl,000,000 plagiarism action
brought against him by Mrs. Sadie
Witwer, widow of II. c. Witwer,

Hints of love triangle and of

earlier period, were intcrmingled
today with the investigation of the
death of Frank Roderick, 40, veal
thy La Honda rancher, whose body
was found late yesterday at the
bottom of 40 foot we'll
The discovery of the body reveal
ed that secret investigation, under
Sheriff j. J. McGrath had been

peared last May Is. Closely min
gled in the affair, MvGrath dcclar-
ed, are hints of cattle rustling on a
large scale, in which the names of
Roderick and ncighbor, Will
Woodring, have been mentioned.
Woodring has been in the jail at
Redwood City, Leld for invcstiga-
ton, since June "a, it was revealed.
Roderick's wife was arrested
shortly after the finding of the
body. She was taken to the Jail
for questioning. Both Woodring

bcrs of the "love triangle" deny
they know anything of the wealthy
ranchcr's death.
Officials had obtained informa-
tion from Roderick's II year old
son that his father and Woodring
had stolen cattle, they claimed.
Also additional clues were furnish
ed by another neighbor, Ernest
Hilldebrandt, who is now being
sought for possible connection
with the mysterious affair, Me-
Grath stated.
Possibility that thc wealthy
rancher met his death by being
buried alive spurred deputy sheriffs
on in their attempt to extract Rod
erick's body from the well, which
was made difficult by the amount
of debris covering him and the bad
ly decomposed condition of the
body.

OVER WEEK END

LOS ANGELES, June %. (U.R-
Otto Sanhuber, mild hammered lit
tie .janitor, today was preparing
for final battle of wits Monday
with James Costello, deputy dis
trict attorney, who is prosecuting
him on a charge of murder.
When court adjourned yesterday
over the week end, Sanhuber's lat
est story of the Staying of Fred Oes-
terreich, retired Milwaukee bust.
nessman eight years ago, remained
mistaken. The case still presented
this unsolved enigma:
Which story told by Sanhuber
concerning the murder is the true
one-hs confession to the grand
jury that he shot the husband of
his secret lover, or his present vers-
ion of covering in his attic hide
away in the Oesterreich home
while someone else committed the
crime.
TO repeated questions by the
prosecutor as to why he confessed
that he killed Oesterreich, Sanhub-
err patiently and meekly replied that
he had been struggling to avoid
telling the truth in order to protect
the woman who once was his sweet
heart-Mrs. Walburga Oesterreich
The various stories he has told,
he said, were evasions suggested to
him by Herman Shapiro, a former
attorney of the widow.
"This is the first time l have
told what I know about that terri
bic night when Oesterreich was
shot TO death as l hid in my attic
room above" Sanhuber declared.

rounded the county Jail here early
today in an attempt to lynch a
negro accused of assulting several
white women.
The mob came from Port Arthur,
where the negro, Raincy Williams,

The crowd of angry men and boys
arrived here by automobile to find
Sheriff Walter w. Covington pre-
pared for them. Machine guns had
been mounted at vantage points sur
rounding the Jail, and deputies had
been armed with automatic rifles.
The mob surrounded the Jail and
demanded that the negro he turned
over to them. Sheriff Covington
stood in the Jail door and tried to
pacify the men, but to no avail.
The sheriff was seized, and the
mob announced the intention Of
holding him as hostage until the
negro was released to them. Deputy

ENGLAND WILL
CONTINUE TO
IMPORT APPLES
Pacific Coast Growers
Not To Suffer Report
ed Embargo on Fruit.
BY ROBERT N. BLUM
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S. (U.P)
Apple growers of the Pacific
coast from Pajaro Valley, 100 miles
south of San Francisco, to Hood
River, Ore, and the Wenatchee sec
ton, Washington, rejoiced today as
they were rendered multifold reas-
surance that England contemplated
no general embargo on American
apples.
Fears that such an embargo had
been scheduled for the fail arose
when it became known that an Eng
lish importing house had ordered
its Watsonville, Calf, agent to de-
fer apple shipments pending furth-
cr information concerning the gov
ernment's attitude.
Growers throughout the section
Immediately suspected that Great
Britain was about to make a move
in retaliation for the passage of the
Smoot- Hawley tariff, interpreted in
some quarters as unfavorable to
English goods.
Today, however, reassurances a
plenty had made their appearance.
Myron S. Foster, president of the
Northwest Fruit Exchange in a
statement to the United Press repre-
sentative at Portland, Ore, said
that the embargo was place on only
low grade and inferior fruit, and
would actually be a boon to high
quality growers in the northwest.
At the same time the Watsonville
Apple Growers and Shippers Asso-
citation was i'll receipt of tele-
gram from the International Apple
shippers Association at Rochester,
n. Y, in which Il. G. Phillips sec
retary of the association confirmed
that no general embargo was threat
ened
J. K. Kirkland, Watsonville agent
for large British apple importing
firm whose name is withheld by re-
quest, stated that the embargo was
effective from July until Novem-
Der ).
The embargo is against all apples
except United States No. l, and
United States fancy in barrel ap-
pies, and extra fancy and fancy in
northwest boxed apples. 1t will ex-
clude all &c" grade apples or mixed
packs containing them.
First fears that a general embar-
go was to be placed were amply
justified, for the United States an
nually exports to great Britain some
1000, 900 to 100000 boxes of fruit
and general embargo would have
been terrific blow to the industry
