ARMY MULE IS
VICTORIOUS IN
CHARITY GAME

YANKEE STADIUM, NEW
YORK, Dec. 13. U.P)-A Sc yard
run by Stecker in the final period
today gave the army a six to moth
ing victory over the navy.
This 3lst game between the two
service lacademies-played before
$4,000 persons and the receipts of
which go to the unemployment re-
lief fund-was a thrilling affair.
For three periods they played even,
Tine Army's charging attack
would carry we'll into the Navy
territory, then Navy would tighten.
Not until the final period when
Stecker, whose plunging and end
skirting had been mainly respon-
sible for Army's long gains, cut
loose for his brilliant run, was
there much of an advantage.
Broshous, whose kick failed in
the Notre Dame game and gave
the South Benders the victory,
went in to score the extra point,
but his kick went wild
Navy made many spirited at
tacks, but could not penetrate far
into Army's territory.

SCIENTISTS FIND FIVE MORE
GIANT SKELETONS IN MEXICO

ing the skeletons Of adults--the
relics upon which they will rely to
establish their belief in the exist
ence of a hitherto mythical race Of
"cyclops".
J. L. Coker. the Sonora mining
man who guided US to the eXcava-
ton site and pointed out the three
giant skeletons he found few
weeks age, surveyed a wide area
which he said held possibilities for
edded discoveries.
The rowing band Of wild Yaqui
Indians are our only source of
worry They all are armed and we
are compelled to keep a sharp look
out for them at all times.
Ashes Prove Puzzle
Dr.. Cummings and Professor San
Domingo agreed that a young man
i'll his teens who had attained a.
height of six feet, eight inches was
an indication of what we may eX-
pect when the adult skeletons are
reached.
The three skeletons found by
Coker, those Of a man and two
women, all were more than eight
feet tall, and we are confident Of
finding many more.
Irrespective of the success of our
search for skeletons, DR.. Cum
mings said the discovery of the ash
filled jars and other potteries was
of first Importance. The jars con-
tanned what had been human ashes
and were an entirely unexpected
find. The jars themselves, Of
beautiful design and workmanship,
were at least 1000 years old and
possibly more, Dr.. Cummings said.
The significance of human ashes
buried with the skeletons thus far
has puzzled the scientists. One
theory was that they may be the
key to a strange religious rite prac-
ticed by those long dead people. No
one knows yet the mental plane
reached by the people, but judging
from the pottery and trinkets al
ready found it is believed they were
in no sense savageS.

STEEG MEETING
TROUBLE MAKING
FRENCH CABINET

PARIS, Dec 13. U.P)-The cabinet
formed by Theodore oteeg, former
governor general of Morocco, en-
countered its first obstacle in the
early stage of its political life to-
day.
Steeg's ministry, replacing that of
Andre Tardieu, was scarcely COM
plete when the new under secretary
of aviation, Ettene Richie, resigned.
Il accepted a portfolio with the
understanding that the radicals had
lifted their exclusion order against
Tardieu and the Republican-Demo-
cratic union,' Richie wrote the pre-
mier.
II now find that was not true.
Hence I do not desire to participate
in the cabinet"
Politicians believed that Richie S
resignation was only the first OF
many troubles Steeg would encoun-
ter before he leads his cabinet be-
fore the chamber nf deputies, where
a vote of confidence is considered
doubtful.

SPLIT SHIFT TO
Be INVOKED AS
HELP TO IDLE

Unemployment problems in I'M
perial Valley are near solution today
with the announcement OF j. q.
Rose. special agent for the United
! States Department of Labor, VINO
| this week made agreements WITH
various valley packers which will re-
suit in the use of greater number
of men in the handling OF the agrl-
cultural products of this section.
While Rose has not yet completed
| his rounds of the valley, the CO.
operation received so far has led
him to feel confident of the attitude
| OF other packers.
The plan involves the use Of dou-
! bic shifts. and of daily split shifts
! Also one group will be employed fof
three days a week, and while these
men are laid off Tor the remainder
of the week, an entirely different
group Will be used during the other
three days This will result in the
employment of more men and an
| increased number of persons will re-
ceive the benefit Of valley payrolls
Heads of resident families are to
be given the precedence in the plac-
/ ing OF labor Rose said, "and AM
! clican labor will be used in the fields
! and sheds as much as possible
Recruiting of men needed will be
done by Rose and field men OF the
various packing companies. Apph-
! cations of every working man who
desires employment are to be collect
/ ed along with addresses and in this
manner when men are wanted, 1t
will be possible to get in touch with
them without delay.
Supply Sufficient
There is a sufficient supply OF
resident labor here now" according
| to Rose, and there is no work tor
outside laborerS. There is only a
slight over supply here at present,
meaning, in this instance, American
labor.
When the season is in full swing
by the first OF the year, however
there is a possibility OF a slight
| shortage. The situation will be
handled and the demand met with
cut the necessity of an influx OF
! transient laborerS.'
One valley packing company this
week gave Rose an order for 900
men, he said. He will work in con-
nection with company field men IN
recruiting the force.
Rose has been in the valley this
week and has been in constant COM
munication with department OF la
Dor headquarters in Los Angeles
He expressed himself as being high
ly gratified with the assistance
given him by the chambers OF COM
merce, agricultural commissioners
and various civic and county bodies

State Executes
Three Slayers

OSSINING, N. L, Dec. 13. up
The three cry baby bandits the
oldest % and the youngest 10, went
to their death in the electric chair
at Sing Sing prison last night
one repentant, one bewildered, and
the last with CHEEKY bravado.
The three boys-James Bolger,
10, James Butler. 20, and Italo Fer
dinandi, 22-were executed for the
murder of James Bauer, Westbury
L. T., druggist. during holdup, a
few hours after Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt had refused to extend
a one-day reprieve.
Butler, the first to die, walked
dazedly to the chair mumbling af-
ter the priest the words of the
Lords Prayer. Ferdinand died with
prayer unfinished on his lips.
Bolger, youngest of the trio, laughed
as the electrodes were fastened to
his head and legs
Gentlemen" he said, Vt die as
I lived-smiling.

WILL ABOLISH
WHITMORE POST

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13. Up
-Governor-elect James Rolph, Jr.,
announced today that the post OF
state building and loan commission
er, now held by Charles A. Whit
more, probably will be abolished by
the next legislature.
Rolph also said he is planning a
study of the building and loan So
ciety law to formulate changes
which will protect the people and
companies from such occurrences
as that in the S8,OOO,O0O defalcation
by Gilbert Beesemyer, head of the
Guaranty Building and Loan asso-
citation, Los Angeles.
Rolph's plan to abolish the office
OF building and loan commissioner
is due to a desire to force Whit
more out.
If Whitmore will not get out
any other way, 1 intend to have
some member of the legislature in
troduce a bill at the coming seS-
sion changing the title of the po-
sition,' Rolph said. This will
abolish the post. and I will appoint
someone to the new post

ican and Mexican archaeologists
tnearthed the petrified remains OF
youth six feet, eight inches tall,
the skeletons~of four other child

the expedition.
Their confidence renewed by the

the Bank of Hollywood, declared to-
Gay that he was certain that Will

COAST ROCKED
BY REVELATIONS
IN FRAUD CASE
Beesemyer Insists That
He Alone Caused Guar
anty Collapse.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13. tU.Pi-
Two men who week ago were hlgh-
" regarded in financial circles o1
Southern California were held in thf
county jail today while the Crane
Jury investigated defalcations OF al
most S8000,000.
The grand jurors indicted Gilbert
II. Beesemyer, secretary manager OF
the Guaranty Building & Loan AS
sociation, on 10 counts OF granc
theft after, they said, he had tolc
them how he had turned to his per-
sonal use funds deposited with the
organization since he became It's
manager in 1921. His bail was fixed
at S250,000.
Rupert l.. Fleury, vice president
and auditor of the organization, was
held on a technical charge OF grand
theft after he told the grand jury
he had known of Beesemyer specu-
lations for five years. He main
tanned, however, that he never re-
ceived any of the money.
AS Fleury was placed under ar
rest last night, Miss Ethel Flanagan
head boolkeeper for BeeSemyer, was
ordered into the technical custody
of a woman deputy sheriff and
taken to a hotel.
Every director and officer OF the
Guaranty Building 81 Loan Assocla
ton, and Charles A. Whltmore
state building and loan commission
er, will be called for questioning by
the grand jury Tuesday.
The Guaranty Building & Loan
Association came under the scrutiny
of Wnitmore last Monday when the
Bank of Hollywood was ordered
closed by the state superintendent
of banks. Beesemyer was chairman
of the board of the bank.
Rumors of Beesemyer'S activities
caused Whitmore to place an eX-
aminer in the association office, and
within a few days, it was apparent
he said, that there was something
wrong with the books Of the lnstl-
tuition.
Says He Is Crock
Late Thursday night, directors OF
the organization, meeting Win
Whitmore. called BeeSemyer before
them, and after few periunctory
questions, he stated:
"Centlemen. I'm a dirty crook
There is something wrong with my
handling of the books
How much are your losses?' nc
was asked
Several millions, I think, Beese-
myer declared.
A ledger sheet which Beesemyei
produced for District Attorney Bu-
ron r. Fits later in the day showed
that the misapplication OF the
Guaranty funds was s7,66l 1878. o..
A shortage Of another S562 ,0OC
later was unearthed in the accounts
of the North American Bond &
ganization formed by Beesemyer to
finance second paper which the
Mortgage company, a subsidiary or
Guaranty could not handle, Fits de-
clared.
This second firm, with the Elmer
Company and the United States
Guaranty Corporation, animated
companies, was under investigation
by the grand jury.
