In his action, according to

The recorder held the signature

SN0WDEN PLAN
UNDERF|RE

LONDON, April 28.-Leaders of
the Conservative party in Britain
girded today for their attack upon
the budget of Chancellor of the
Exchequer Philip Snowden.
According to parliamentary ira
ditiOn, the onslaught must be
made regardless of the fact that
competent authorities believe it
will be more difficult for Op.
pOnentS to attack the budget than
it was for SnOwden to prepare it.
The consensus today was that
the crippled chancellor, with the
financial dexterity that has made
his name world famous, had &C.
complished a marvellous feat OF
legerdemain by presenting a
budget that will give Britain a
favorable balance this year with
out increasing the burden upon
the taxpayers.
The chief criticism, it appeared
will be that the budget is merely
a temporary measure, banking
solely upon the hope that the
economic depression will be over
and done with by 1882.

Says; Denies She Showered
Money on Former Convict

NEW YORK, April % GN.SO
The last rites of the Catholic
Church were administered yester
day to John T. Conlin in ST.
Johns Hospital, Long Island. Mr.
Conlin was feared to be dying
from the bullet wound admittedly
inflicted by James Depew, the
young ex-convict sweetheart OF
Mr.. Conlin's wife.
Mr.. Conlin has forgiven his
wife, Amy, but has uttered nc
word that would absolve DepeW
of guilt.
Beaten, Wife Says
The story of her acquaintance
with Depew was related to re
porters today by Mrs. Conlin, 81
She told of her relations with
Depew, to whom she said she
was always like a mother" and
went into considerable detail in
describing her husbands alleged
cruelty to her.
Of her husband she said that:
"He beat and kicked me
every night when he came
home in q drunken rage. He
would grab Hne and kick me
and beat me and then throw
me on the floor"
Mrs. Conlin's story follows:
81 met Jim in January Of
this year, shortly after he was
released from prison. He took
me to the movies once in q
while.
Heard Mate Scream
"On the night of the shoot
ing, I was in my bed. My hus-
band called me, and when I
heard him scream 1 went down
to see what was wrong. If
/ knew who did it, 1 would
have told the police. 1 do not
believe Jim did it.
81 gave hundreds of dollars
to my husband before we were
married, but 1 did not shower
money on Jimmie, as reported.
Just gave him a few cents when
he needed it to eat"
Detectives today were investi'
eating a report that Depew may
have a wife in California.

CALIFORNIA RULED BY SPAIN
Los Angeles Founded by Spaniards
Back in Year of 1881

1t was into the hands of Don
Felipe De Neve, who ruled as the
Spanish governor of the province
of California in 1881, that Carlos
III, king of Spain, intrusted the
duty of founding Los Angeles.
In order to establish In Cali
fornia of the south a new settle
ment, it is related that Don Felipe
came from the capital at Monterey
with a military escort TO the mis-
sion of San Gabriel late in August,
1871. The mission of San Gabriel
was already prosperous and well
established, having had its begin
ming ten years before.
Don Felipe and his escort spent
several days at the mission and
then. on the morning of September
4, set out upon a march which
took them three leagues westward
to that spot which is still the Plaza
of Los Angeles. Nothing was
there that morning but the brown
grass of the little valley and the
browner hills. The plaza was laid
out, a TIE Deum was sung, volley
of musketry was fired, the spot was
blessed by the padres, and the u
emigrant families from Old Mexico,
which were TO constitute the orig
inal population of the city, were es-
tablished in what was to be their
home. The new pueblo was called
in euphonious Castillian La Ciudad

CALIFORNIA; Inland Sea

The Salton sea is a lake in the
Colorado desert, in southeastern
California. Under ordinary condi-
tions it is a salt marsh covered in
places by shallow lakes and about
80 miles long, u miles wide and
go feet below sea level. At times
of freshets, the lakes expand into
a water body covering approxi-
mately $4,000 acres. Water from
the irrigating bitches of the I'm
perial valley keeps the level of the
lake fairly constant and unless this
is diverted it will continue TO main
tain its previous area despite heavy
losses from evaporation. Terraces
slightly above sea level on the sides
of the basin indicate that there
was formerly present lake called
Lake Cahuilla." which was II
miles long and 80 miles wide.

Radio Peculiarities

Radio transmission reproduces
not only the pitch and tone, but
also the characteristic timbre of
each musical instrument, because
each sound wave entering a mi
crophone has not only the general
characteristic of frequency, but
also infinitely smaller waves with
in the general frequency wave.
These incidental-or supplemental
waves within the tonal frequency
wave are caused by the peculiar or
characteristic timbre Of the instru-
ment producing the sound. For ex-
ample, the tonal frequencies Of
both the violin and the saxophone,
playing the same note, "a" will be
identical, but the incidental "over-
tone" waves within the frequency
will be different and will also be
transmitted, identifying the char
acteristic form" or ''timbre" Of
the instrument itself.

GiraIda

In Seville of Andalusia, Giralda
dwells. 1t is one of the most beau
tiful Moorish monuments of Spain,
a Twelfth century minaret stretched
against the blue sky. and now the
shrine of two dozen anointed bells.
Giralda is the mother and sweet
heart of Seville; without Giralda
the city would feel compelled to
hide and change its name. The
Moors wished to destroy il before
surrendering to San Fernando, but
he replied that Moorish head
would be cut OFF for every stone
removed. The heads changed their
minds. To an American, Giralda
marks holy ground, for in the
cathedral stands the sareophagus
