FATE OF FLYERS
STILL LOCKED IN
FROZEN ARCTIC

NOME, Alaska, Jan. %. U.H-
Hummocks of ice and snow in the
deserted Siberian wastes today still
held locked in their frozen breasts
the secret of the fate of Carl Ben
Eielson and Earl Borland, arctic av-
iators whose wrecked relief plane
was found after it had been missing
since November 9.
RELAYS of workers who had made
their way to the scene of the wreck
by painful trek with dog teams, dug
in ever increasing circles around the
masses of wreckage, scattered over a
wide area when the ship struck the
earth at top speed.
The silence of the northland was
broken for the first time since the
wreck by the clang Of steel shovels
and picks as they dug into the froZ-
en- surface.
There was little hope in the hearts
of r'rc"2 workers that the airmon
are alive. Instead they expected
only to come upon the bodies, thus
settling the mystery Of their fate.
Pilots Joe CroSson and Fred Gil
lam. comrades of Eielson, who made
the discovery of the smashed plane,
continued today to operate from
their base at the icelocked motor
ship Nanuk, taking men to the vicin-
ity of the wreck to widen the search.

DEATH CLAIMS
SECOND VICTIM
OF PLANE FALL

f. T. Shovel, who has been lying
unconscious in the Ell Centre hos
pital since Friday morning as the
result of an airplane crash near I'm
perial in which Robert Glenn was
killed instantly, succumbed to his
injuries this afternoon at l o'clock.
Shovel, who had been suffering
from conclusion of the brain, a
broken arm and internal injuries,
never rallied and an operation was
performed by DIR. Carl Wagner, a
brain specialist of Pasadena, last
night in the hope that it might help
the injured mans condition. He was
reported as doing fairly well early
this morning but could not over
come the shock and injuries.
The plane, according to witnesses
of the accident, had been doing
wingovers at an altitude of about
800 feet when it suddenly went into
. tailsu;n and nosedived to the
uound. Glenn had been in the front
cockpit aud Shovel in the rear at
the time of the crash and so great
was the force of the impact when
the plane struck the ground that it
was necessary to cut the engine and
sides of the plane away with hack
saws before Glenn's body could be
removed.
The coroner's inquest which had
been delayed awaiting Showell's re-
covcry, will now be held either this
afternoon or tomorrow morning.

"You know that isn't so, that it is

there was nothing wrong in the

wno had furnished the organization
with "news and gossip concerning

"Why, it was just like Senator
Caraway making a speech before i'm

TROUBLE COMES
AFTER MARRIAGE
OF SCREEN PAIR

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. %. U.p, -
Anyway, Loretta Young and Grant
Withers had nice airplane ride to
Yuma, Arizona.
They were married there, of course,
but the marriage didn't take with
Miss Young's mother, Mrs. George
Belzer.
Sometime today, while the screen
pair continue making love in a pie
ture they are working in together,
an annulment suit was to be filed on
behalf of Mrs. Belzer.
The charge will be that Miss
Young is under age. The actress and
Withers have agreed not to fight
the action and will wait n year or
so and then try it again-mayte.
The publicity which attended the
air elopment to Yuma, the marriage
and the annulment action. meant an
other tough break for Withers.
II reminded Mrs. Inez Withers his
first wife, than her allowance for
herself and their child was hardly
adequate. The allowance of $50 a
month was made when Withers was
an extra in pictures. Now that he
is making $4,000 m on t h, Mrs.
Withers No. asks that her allow.
ance be increased to $500 monthly.
Superior Judge Schauer is expect
ed to take action this week on her
request.

MITCHELL BALKS
OVER PLAN FOR
CIVIL SERVICE
Wants To Select District
Attorneys Without U.s.
ual Procedure.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. W.R-
The friction over appointment of
federal prohibition enforcement of
ficials brought limitations from
congressional drys today that they
intended to write strong civil serv-
ice provision in the transfer bill des-
pite objections of Attorney General
Mitchell.
Such an amendment, demanded by
w. G. Deming, civil servic commits
sioncr, is being prepared by dry
members of the house expenditures
committee. 1t also has the endorse
ment of Senator Jones, Republican,
Washington, the leading senate ad,
vocate of the legislation.
Mitchell's plea that he could bet
ter select attorneys without civil
service was answered by the drys
pointing to charges now being aired
around Washington. Senators Wheel
er, Democrat, Montana, and Borah,
Republican, Idaho, plan to push for
an inquiry into reasons for the trans
fer of Prohibition Administrator
John Herbert from Baltimore to the
district OF Montana and Idaho.
Wheeler has charged politics was
involved. Borah stated he had seen
Il Justice department report on Her
bert which, If true, "c0uld transfer
him to the penitentiary."
Herbert was defended by Assist
ant Treasury Secretary Lowman who
described him as being a capable
and efficient administrator. A gen.
cral reorganization of the Baltimore
district was considered necessary for
the good of the service, Lowman
said.
The other perplexing appointment
problem involves charges m d c
against Customs Comptroller Foran
at New York by the New Jersey An.
ti-Saloon League. Foran's reappoint.
ment is now up to President Hoover
who has Il confidential report from
the treasury department along with
the league charges that Foran is not
in sympathy with the law.
While the drys believe the strong
civil service provision will helr
Mitchell in his appointment, Mitchell
has indicated he can take care OF
appointments without it.

DEFENDANT In
DEMURRER TO
DISTRICT SUIT

Herbert Kelly, of San Diego, at
torney for the Guayule Land Com
pany in the suit brought by the I'M
perial Irrigation district to have the
defendants restrained from inter
fering with certain properties in I'm
perial Valley, filed demurrer to
the districts complaint in superior
court this morning.
AS grounds for this action the de-
PENDANTS allege that the superior
court of Imperial county has no jur-
isdiction over the subject of this ac-
ton; that the district has no legal
capacity to sue in this form of ac-
ton and that the complaint does
not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute n cause of action.
The demurrer further alleges that
the original complaint is counched
in uncertain terms in that it can
not be determined from that docu-
ment when each of the certificates
of sale referred to was made or
filed. 1t does not refer to the date
of any deed, or whether there is any
subsisting moral obligation upon the
defendant to pay the required as
sessments. Doubt is east upon
whether the plaintiff or defendant
is, or has ever been in possession of
the premises and whether the dis
triet has received any rents from
the lands concerned in the action.
The document also questions wheth-
er the various tracts described, or
any part of them, were subject to
assessment at any time any or all of
the alleged assessments were pur-
ported to have been levied.
II is claimed that the complaint
of the district is extremely ambig-
uous and without equity.
At the same time motion was
presented by Kelly asking that var
ious portions of the complaint be
stricken from that document, especi-
ally all allegations with respect to
delinquencies, sales, certificates or
deeds, except for the first and last
delinquencies alleged, "upon the
ground that each and all are irrev.

SENATOR NORRIS
ATTACKS RULING
ON BOULDER Dam

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. W.H-
The decision of Solicitor f. G. Fin
ney of the interior department in
the Boulder dam power case "has
nullified the most important part"
of the Boulder dam act passed by
congress, Senator Norris, Republi-
can, Nebraska, charged in the senate
today.
Norris said congress wrote plain
provision in the law giving priority
to cities, states and municipalities
in power distribution, without re-
gard to bonds, but that Finney had
held Secretary of the Interior Will
bur could disregard the provision.
"Under this decision, the secre-
tary can take power from the city
of Los Angeles and others and give
it to a private party, the water
power trust" Norris said, "He can
give every kilowatt of power from
Boulder dam to the power trust.
"The bill could not have passed
congress unless it contained the pro-
vision which is now sought to be
nullified."
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cal
ifornia, co.author of the Boulder
dam act, agreed with Norris and
said if anything of the kind was at
tempted eve will not be slow to call
attention to it, no matter what any
department may do or any solicitor
advise"
"Every single individual in this
senate believed we had given prior
ity to states, cities and municipali-
ties in the bin when it was passed."
johnson said.
"When the time comes we will not
be unprepared to present this case
from the standpoint of the people"
