BODY in CANAL
MAY BE THAT OF
PAUL L0VELAND

YUMA, Ariz., Jan. 90 W.P)-
Whether a body found in an irriga-
tion canal near Cuervos, Mex, is
that of w. Paul Loveland, Pasadena,
Calf, contractor, is expected to be
determined by Mrs. Loveland here
tonight.
Sheriff j. c. Hunter and other
Officers who found the body late
yesterday, announced they would re-
turn with the remains today.
In telephone conversation with
the sheriff last night, Mrs. Lovelahd
told the sheriff that his description
of pair of glasses found with the
body correspond with that of pair
worn by her husband
She said she would obtain dental
charts and meet the officers here
to make certain of the identifca-
ton.
The sheriff said he believed Love
land, who disappeared from a tour
ist camp here shortly after Christ
mas, had fallen in while fishing in
the Colorado river. The body might
easily have washed down to the
point some % miles below the inter
national line where officers made
their discovery.

MINISTER'S SEEK
VINDlCATl0N OF
JAIL OFFICIALS

SALINAS, Calf, Jan. 90. U.H-
The case of Mrs. Sue Brown, "a
year old Jail mother, entered the
limelight again today when MOnter-
ey county clergymen started a cam
paign to vindicatc the officials who
arrested her.
Mrs. Brown was jailed on liquor
law violation charge and was sent
to Jail for IS days. Her baby was
born prematurely while she was SER
wing the sentence.
The ministers held a meeting last
night which was attended by Justice
of the Peace Ray Baugh, who SEN
fenced Mrs. Brown; D. NJ. Laughery
who arrested her; District Attorney
Albert E. Warth and Mrs. Winnie
Oyer, Jail matron.
Affidavits, pertaining to the
character of Mrs. Brown, were OBJ
tanned at the meeting and news
papers of Monterey county were re-
quested to publish them, thereby
vindicating county Officials from
criticism arising from the failing of
Mrs. Brown.
One newspaper, the Salinas Jour
nal-Index, declared through its pub
Usher today, that it would have
nothing to do with the attacks
against Mrs. Brown contained in
the affidavits.

STONE OUTLINES
BOARD PLAN TO
ASSIST FARMER

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 90. W.D
A five fold program for assisting
agriculture was outlined in an adj
dress here today by James {. Stone,
member Of the federal farm board.
Promotion Of effective marketing
of farm products in domestic ana
foreign commerce., minimizing spec
ulation in farm commodities, pre-
vention of wasteful methods of dis
tribution, encouragement of nation
al cooperatives, and controlling
crop SURPRISES comprise the board g
program, he said.
Because it is impossible for the
federal government to deal directly
with each of the 100000 American
farmers, Stone said the board policy
contemplates early organization of
all agriculture into a limited num-
Der of national marketing coopera
tive groups. Until this has been ac-
complished the board will limit its
activities to helping individual co
operatives.
A survey to determine how much
unproductive land is being used for
crop purposes is contemplated by
the board, Stone said, and it plans
to urge that marginal lands be elm
mated from American farms.

OIL OPERATORS
RENEW BATTLE
TO SET TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. U.PH
Independent oil operators of Texas,
Oklahoma and Louisiana have re-
newed their agitation for a tariff
on petroleum.
Several senators are prepared to
aid the movement if it gains head
way, but see little chance of accom-
plishing much at present.
Senators Thomas, Democrat, and
Pine, Republican, both from Okla
homa have amendments pending in
the s>uate proposing tariff of 81
barrel on crude oil.
Before trying to press these
amendments, however, they are
awaiting results of a general mass
meeting of oil operators being held
III Tulsa, Okla, this week.
Senator Thomas was Informed to-
day a delegation of the operators
would come here next week to ask
aid for their industry. He said he
would await the delegation before
taking any further action.
II the Oklahoma senators decide to
aid the operators they cannot ex-
pect much aid from the Texas sena-
tors. Senator Connally, Democrat,
Texas, said today he is opposed to
the proposal, believing it economic
ally unsound. Senator Sheppard,
Democrat, Texas, said he had not
vet studied the situation and was
not ready to commit himself.

NIGHT OF TERROR
IN CHICAGO WHEN
BOMBS EXPLODE

CHICAGO, Jan. 30. W.H-An at
tempt to plant bomb in the auto
mobile of Patrick Roche, chief in
>estigator for states attorney John
A. Swanson, today climaXed a night
of terror in which bombs rocked a
building of fashionable Michigan
avenue and two structures in other
parts of the city.
A negro attendant frustrated
what police declared was an attempt
to blow up Roche's automobile. A
bomb was being connected with the
ignition of the investigators big
limousine in the Oakland Square
garage by two men shortly before
dawn when Clifford Jones, the negro.
surprised them.
The men fled, one snatching up
the bomb. Jones grappled with the
other but was knocked down. Police
said that had the negro arrived 4
minute later, the bomb probably
would have been in place and the
hood of the car lowered.
Roche has been a Nemesis for
gangsters, racketeers and criminals
of all sorts and those with motives
for taking his life are legion.
A few hours before the bombers
entered the garage to plant the
bomb, Roche had sprung trap in
a fashionable near north side apart
ment in which a robber was prob
ably fatally wounded by a police
man who lay in ambush with the
chief Investigator.
Another trap last Sunday night,
engineered by Roche, resulted i'll
capture of half dozen alleged
members of a robber gang that had
terriorized the gold coast for sew
eral months.
The major bombing of the IL
hour reign of terror occurred on
Michigan avenue where exclusive
hotels and style shops give way to
automobile company display rooms
and loan offices.
Five families, with 20 children,
were sent screaming into the street
when a bomb shattered the grocery
of Clement Jesutis on the south side.
Jesutis, who lived above the store,
escaped, and other residents of the
building suffered only minor injur-
les.
Damage was estimated at $1,000
The grocer could ascribe no reason
for the attack.
A shoe rebuilding shop in the
Bryn Mawr apartment hotel was
the other target of terrorists. The
blast wrecked the interior of the
shop, doing $1,000 damage, and
aroused those asleep in apartments
throughout the big building.

tomorrow.
Hope was expressed that the five
delegations would be sufficiently III

prospective tie eri ing committee,
which will be named then, to estab

conference. 1t appeared likely that
the program would provide for early
discussion of the various nationals
cruiser requirements, although the
French delegates still upheld their
contention that the regulation of
tonnage limitations should be dis
cussed first.
A well informed source indicated
that conversations in regard to tom
mage limitation were moving to-
ward compromise somewhat in
line with isr French proposals, that
is, modified form of limitation of
total tonnage Of each navy.
1t was believed the delegates ar
ranged for tomorrow plenarv SEES
sion to be open to reporters to allay
any public feeling that the confer
ence has encountered serious diff
culties. The American spokesman in
uicated, however, that Secretary
Henry L. Stimson probably would
not address the plenary session as
had been anticipated.

The principal differences so far
have been regarding French and
Italian views to what subjects should
be taken up first and it was under

tic that question first.
Italian sources said the program
had been tentatively arranged by
the chief delegates, composed of six
items presented by France, Britain

the subjects would be admitted to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. UP)-
Total abstinence pledges proposed in
the house, the wet bloc decision to
press for 2.75 per cent beer and the
mysterious charges concerning Sena-
tor Borah's secret informant added
new fields as battle-ground for the
wet and dry controversy at the cap

The ever widening prohibition
front now has extended so far it is
usurping the attention of good
portion of the entire government,
overwhelming all other issues in con
gress.
The pledge bin proposed by Repre-
sentative Stone, dry Republican, Ok
lahoma, has been referred to com
mittec and almost no hope is held
for its passage.
just n little chance is conceded
the Dyer bill to legalize 2.7j per
cent beer, although the house wet
bloc has decided to throw all its sup
port behind it as the one wet bill to
he pressed in the face of the en-
forcement reform program.
There seems, however, not the
slightest chance Of the bill getting
through either house, in the light Of
the present situation, and Chairman
Wickersham of the law enforcement
commission wrote Representative
Dyer, Republican, Missouri, author
Of the bill yesterday that the com
mission could not consider it.
While these more spectacular de-
vclopments were occupying private
discussion among members, the

hibition enforcement from the treas

Strong civic service requirements
for enforcement officials are being
provided in amendments, and the
bill will be reported within a few

The mysterious charges ccntering
around Borah's private information
concerning enforcement conditions
have narrowed down to the place
where Borah is now trying to get
IN touch with the man who gave him
data about Prohibition Commission

While Borah declined to reveal
the mans identity, the United Press
