CLUES IN BEACH
TRAGEDY PROVE
TO BE USELESS

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6. UP)-
The last remaining clues to the En-
senada knife murders of Lois Mar
ion Kcntlc, Los Angeles Sorority
girl, and Francis Conlon, her fl
ancc, were virtua ~ eliminated to-
day by police III, tis&tors.
Two men, Harry NJ. Harmon. lS-
ycar-old resident of Wichita, Kan.
sas, and Miguel Garcia, A, who al
legcdly stabbed his wife to death
here yesterday, were held in con-
ncction with the Lower California
Staying but later were absolvcd, po-
lice said.
Harmon was arrested at Hunting
tom Park, Calf, when a bullet hole
was found in his automobile wind
shield and it was learned he had
just returned from Il trip into Mex
leo. Paul Gallon of Coronado, Il
cousin of Harmon, convinced author
itics that the bullet hole resulted
from the youths desire to "show
the folks back home" the alleged
dangers he encountered in Mexico.
Before releasing him, however, Il
medical examination of Harmon was
ordered to determine if he has an
injury as described in telegram
sent police by Lloyd l.. Harmon of
Trinidad, Colo. The Coloradoan,
who failed to state his interest in
the case, requested a description Of
Harmon.
The district attorneys office was
preparing a murder complaint to-
day against Garcia in the death of
Josafa Garcia, -, mother of his
four children. Mrs. Garcia was
stabbed 23 times with knife, and
the similarity Of the wounds with
those inflicted by the Ensenada
slayer led police to suspect Garcia
in the later case.
Officers said Garcia apparently
became enraged over reported IN
fidclitics of his wife.

FORD DECLARES
NATION IS SICK
AND ALSO DRY

NEW YORK, Sept 6. (U.R-Hen-
rv Ford believes America is econom
ically sick, but that the illness is
not nearly 50 severe as it was prior
to few months ago.
Ford discussed the nations finan-
cial malady today just before he
sailed on the North German Lloyd
Liner Bremen for six week motor
tour of Germany.
1t took the country a long time
to get sick, he said. The illness was
brought on by frenzied speculation
in the stock market, and, by the
same token, it will take as long for
the cure.
"But it's a good thing the recov-
cry is prolonged" he said, "other-
wise, the people wouldn't profit by
the illness. 1t will take just AS long
to get wcl~as it took to get sick,
and when its all over, we'll know
things we didn't know before,
81 am inclined to view the matter
optimisticaly because can see
that people are thinking now. Ev-
oIybody is thinking now, and that's
something they didn't do last year,
or even two years ago. Very few
people thought then. That is, they
thought only of one thing. They
thought of buying and selling
stock"
He argued on the subject of pro-
hibition, insisting that the country
is dry and going to stay dry.
Gwen in Detroit" he was asked.
"Ycs, even in Detroit" he snap
ped. "You'll find damp spot, per-
haps here and there. But America
is dry and prohibition is here to
stay"

THOUSANDS SUFFER
First Relief Ships Not
Able To Reach City Due

BY FRANCISCO ESCOVAR
United Press Staff Gnrresnnudent

SANTO DOMINGO. Dominican Re-
public, Sept. i. UP Outside relief
reached devastated Santa Domingo
today.
With survivors hungry and cx-
haustcd by the task Of disposing
Of some 1000 dead and attempting
the first work Of clearing away
Wrcckagc of the capital, arrival of
an American transport WAS a happy
sight for suffering thousands who
had awaited relief.
The 5. $. Catherine. which put
out from San Jucn with two other
supply ships yesterday, was unable
to communicate Immediately with
the port, however, because the river
was still running high and other ar
rangcmcnts were made to receive her
cargo.
Communications with the interior
OF the Republic were restored some
what, and it was learned definitely
that several villages had been de
struycd or severely damaged as the
hurricane swept northwest over the
city.
The city Of Villa Duartc, in Bo.
cachica, was reported entirely de
stroycd. The city of B0achia, one
of the larger interior towns, was
severely damaged and the northern
road region as lar as the village of
Bonao was scene of desolation and
ruins.
The northern and eastern parts of
the island did not suffer serious dam
age, these new reports said, The
Yuma bridge has completely disap-
pcarcd.
The National City Bank of New
York branch office reopened to-
day one of the first signs of bus
mess since the hurricane.
The arrival of medical and other
supplies ON L, 5. marine planes
from Port Au Prince. Haiti, did
much 70 strengthen the morale of
the survivors, but they were only
a small fraction of the emergency
materials needed to cope with the
situation.
Capt Ford O. Rogers, of the ma
rincs, who came here by plane, said
he had "ncvcr seen anything com
parable to the sight" this city pre-
scntcd
"rhc stencil of burning bodies
reached my airplane at an altitude
of 1000 feet, 40 miles from Santo
Domingo" he said, referring 20 the
funeral pyrcs ON which the dead are
being disposed of.
Bridge Destroyed
"Thc cemetery was flooded with
bcdics long dead, floating above
the ground.
"Thc village of Duarte, across the
river from Santa Domingo, re-
scmblcd a small village smearcd to
the ground with steam roller"
Survivors in the village are un'
able to communicate with the cap
itnl because the bridge over the
river Ozama to Santo Domingo has
been destroyed.
1t is certain that there are many
dead in the village, who have not
been countd so far in the casualty
estimates.
The only buildings to witstand
the force of the hurricane were
those built by Spanish settlers 4oo
wears ago. All boats and dredges
in the harbor are sunk and the
docks washed away. The Ozama rs
impossible and the city appears cut
off from outside communication by
water.
"rhe entire populace seems dazed
and unable to realize the extent OF
the disaster" he said. 81 passed

All business was closed and the
president remained in his residence,
surrounded by heavy guards. He has
been i'll recently.
General Uriburu left Campo de
Mayor this morning at the head of
1000 troops, demanding the retire
ment of Irigoyen permanently.
Revolutionary airplanes armed
with machine guns flew over the
capital, dropping thousands of leaf
let's melting the population to join
the revolution. The leaflets were
signed by military junta' or
committee, which led the revolution
arv movement.

after severe criticism from many
sources, including leaders of his own
radical party.
The president, il was said, was
only temporarily relieved of his du-
ties, for under the constitution he
can resume the mandate when and II
he desires. He thus remained an
unknown factor ia the country's = po-

ed as to whether he would tender .
formal resignation later.
Thousands of residents of Buenos

each other in the streets when they
learned that the president, who is
SO years old, had turned over his
