Explaining that there is IAN under
current of feeling that the Navy looks
upon the reserve as an unwelcome STEP

Osterhaus, in charge of the Naval
Reserve Section of the Bureau of Navi-

annual meeting of the United States
Naval Reserve Oficers' Association at
the Willard Hotel last night, denied
this situation exists in reality.
Il am happy to be able to emphati-

It appears to be held by an increasingly
small minority of reservists," Capt
Ogterhaus asserted.
But, on the other hand, the Navy
Department must have the fullest CO.
operation and assistance from the Naval
Reserve organization, and when deci-

with the wishes of a certain unit or

ALFONSO HALTS
ENGAGEMENT OF
YOUNG PRINCESS
Presence OF Unfortunate
Bourbon Disease Given
AS Reason.

Copyright, 1881. by United Press
PARIS, Nov 4. U.P)-The engage
ment of Princess Beatrice, daughter
Of exiled King Alfonso Of Spain,
and Prince Alvaro de Bourbon
Orleans has been broken because
she is a carrier Of disease which
also blasted the romantic dreams of
her younger sister, Princess Chris
tine.
Alfonso, the last of the Bour-
bons," has forbidden the marriage
because of the discovery that both
of his daughters are carriers" of
haemophilia, the hereditary scourge
which has afflicted the Bourbon
line through centuries of power in
Europe.
Princess Beatrice, whose wedding
date was first set for October and
then for December, and her sister
are not sufferers from the disease
but they could transmit it to their
children.
Haemophilia is condition which
makes the blood incapable Of coag-
ulation and the afflicted-such as
the last Tsarovitch of Russia or the
Prince of Austrias, eldest son of AL
fonso-might easily bleed to death
because of a minor cut or bruise
which would break the skin.
The plans for the marriage of
Princess Beatrice and rumors of the
engagement of Princess Christine to
Prince Alvaro and his brother Al
onso, had given the royal family's
place of exile at Fontainebleau an
atmosphere of romance for many
weeks. Princess Beatrice was sew
ing on her wedding clothes and
planning to go to Switzerland with
her young fiance to permit him to
complete his engineering studies at
Zurich after their marriage.
Then Alfonso made trip to Lon
don and a few days later Beatrice
followed him. They consulted two
London specialists and were III
formed that both daughters would
be certain to transmit haemophilia
to any male children. The former

he was not willing to assume re-
sponsibility for the marriages Of his
daughters under such circum-
stances.
An operation to end danger of
transmission of the disease was re-
jected by the exiled king because
of his deep religious scruples.
The princess and her fiance were
desperate and almost all members
of the royal family brought pres
sure to bear on Alfonso in an effort
to force him to change his decision.
1t was said they still held hope that
he would relent, but SO far he has
stood his ground.
Alfonso has rented apartments in
a suburb of Neuilly for the Prince
of Asturias, former heir to the
Spanish throne, who will arrive
from Switzerland on Thursday. The
prince, whose health always has
been delicate, will hold court" in
the apartment this winter. The
rest of the family will remain at
Fontainebleau.

father. order his father to put up
his hands.
"Oh, Mr.. Head" Puryear said just

year had been with his father four
months before the shooting, and has
been kept from his mother since
then.
"Iie has been taught all kinds OF
things to say about his grandfather
and mother" the attorney declared
The boy, however, refuted this
statement by testifying his father
had never told him to dislike his
mother or grandfather.
81 never told anything in this case
that wasn't the truth" the boy said.
Sonny Puryear broke into tears
under direct examination bearing
on the killing and the tears re-
manned in his eyes until he was dis
missed from the stand.
Conkling on croSS-examinatlon
tried to impeach the boys testimony
by reading the evidence he had given
at the preliminary hearing and be-
fore the county grand jury.
Neither District Attorney Elmer
w. Heald for the prosecution nor
Fred Thompson for the defense took
any great part in the trial this
morning, other than to confer with
their associates.
Other witnesses called this morn
ing were Tom Murphy, who identi-
fled the shotgun used in the slay-
ing. which Head had borrowed from
him on the afternoon of the trag-
edy; Matthew Boylan, secondhand
dealer who sold shells for the shot
gun to Head that same afternoon,
and Pat Smith, Brawley officer, who
arrested Head after the shooting.
The 12-guage shotgun with which
Head shot Puryear was introduced
into evidence by the district attor-
ney today without objection on the
part of defense counsel.

RETAIN BELIEF
THAT MRS. JUDD
HAD ACC0MPLLCE

PHOENIX, ArIz., Nov. f. Up
Authorities have not entirely sur
rendered the idea that more than
one person participated in the slay-
ing of Agnes Anne lie Roi and He'd
Wig Samuelson, despite the fact
that preparations are under way
for the trial of Winnie Ruth Judd
on a charge of first degree murder.
The theory of an accomplice be-
ing involved in the double killings
was given official recognition late
yesterday when Mrs. Judd was ar
raigned before Precinct Judge Clar-
ence E. Ice, who set her preliminary
hearing on two murder complaints
for Monday, November 8.
One complaint charged Mrs Judd
with the murder of Mrs. lie Roi on
or about October 16. The other
charged Mrs. Judd, John Doe and
Richard Roe with the murder OF
Miss Samuelson. Use Of the ficti-
tiouS names, 1t was pointed out
will simplify trial proceedings should
evidence pertaining to an accom-
plice or accompliceS be found.
Sheriff j. r. McFadden for one
has never believed that a slight
woman such as Mrs. Judd acted
alone. as she claims. She isn't
strong enough, according to the
sheriff, to dismember the body Of
Miss Samuelson and pack both
bodies in trunks, as was done.
Lloyd j. Andrews, county attor-
ney, will try Mrs. Judd first on
the LIE Roi complaint. She will be
tried on the other charge in the
event first degree murder convic-
ton, with the death penalty, is not
obtained at the trial on the LIE Roi
death charge, Andrews said.
Information was given Andrews
today which indicated mat Mrs
LIE Roi might have been given poison
by Mrs. Judd the day before the
murder. il was learned.

BLAIR RECALL
PETITION FAILS
TO BE APPROVED
Secretary Declares Suf-
ficient Number OF Le-
gal Names Lacking.

Recall petitions filed against w.
0. Blair, Imperial Irrigation dis
trict director, were declared insult
fic!ent late yesterday by Secretary
F. H. McIver, who ruled that there
were but 1873 valid signatures ap-
pearing on the petition of October
"a.
This is the second recall petition
filed against Blair within recent
months and the second which was
declared insufficient.
BackerS of the recall movement
now have 10 days in which to Sc
cure the necessary signatures to
make the petitions sufficient. Dis
trict records show that o total of
657 votes were cast in the Calipatria
division in the election of 1929 and
that 166 names are therefor needed
for a valid recall petition.
Blair has served all but a little
more than a year of his second term
as director from the Calipatria di-
vision. He was elected in 1929 on
an All-American canal platform
and has consistently maintained his
stand in favor of the project. -
In explaining the insufficiency of
the petitions, McIver said:
There were but 1873 valid names.
OF the remaining 134 names signed
to the petitions. certain thereof
were not registered. Others did not
affix thereto the date of signing as
required by law. Still others are of
the circulator of his own section
There was one unqualified circulator
and the balance of the insufficient
names I cannot ascertain from pc
titions and records of registration
that they are qualified electors at
the time of signing the petitions"
Recall petitions and threats of re-
call petitions have been flying thick
and fast in district circles during
recent weeks and residents of the
valley are said to be awaiting the
next move with considerable inter
est.

HOOVER SEEKING
MEANS TO HELP
HOME INVESTORS
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Nov. a. U.R)--
President Hoover determined to for
mulate some method of releasing a
billion and a half dollars now
frozen" in real estate mortgages,
largely on small homes, is giving
particular consideration to two pro-
posed methods of curing the situa-
ton.
The first of the two plans involves
formation of national real estate
board, to deal with realty financing.
The second embraces formation of
rediscount banks similar to farm
loan banks, which would take the
load of mortgages off the holders,
lend on them, and thus provide ad-
ditional credits.
Any methods providing additional
credits, would permit banks or fl
nance companies holding mortgages
TO extend the time in which the
home owner must meet his pay
ments.
Whatever method is adopted the
principle is much the same.
Mr.. Jones owns small home. he
is in financial difficulties, perhaps
out of a job and cannot meet the
payments on his mortgages.
The bank which holds his mort
gage holds many similar mortgages.
The bank would like to help Mr.
Jones and all the others by extend
ing payment, but it cannot afford
to do that as it would endanger its
credit position.

NORTHERN HALF
OF SAN DIEGO
WANTS COUNTY

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 4. U.P)-Pro-
posal to split San Diego county into
two counties is being considered by
residents of the northern area to-
day as a counter move to an at
tempt TO reapportion the supervis-
orial districts.
The new county, would be named
Palomar county, its hackers assert.
The proposed dividing line would
run from point north of Del Mar
east to the Imperial county line.
The plan had its inception several
weeks ago when the board of su-
pervisors began considering plans
for reapportionment which would
equalize population in the various
supervisorial districts.
Residents of the northern area
contend the reapportionment would
deprive them of proper repre-
sentation on the board, throwing
control of the board to the city.
Mass meetings of citizens have
been held in the county for several
weeks at which speakers have
urged the secession.
City and county officials, how
ever, had refused to become alarmed
at the secession movement, point
ing out that the state laws require
signatures of so per cent of the
registered voters in the city and
county and 65 per cent of the vot-
ers in the seceeding portion on pc

prosecutor, opened the states case

will endeavor to prove Head shot
and killed Puryear in order that
Mrs. Jessica Puryear might have un-
interrupted custody of the 11-year-
old son of the divorced couple.
M. w. ConKling, defense counsel,
in his opening statement, painted
Puryear as a devil with homicidal

will prove he attempted to buy a
gun in Brawley on the day he was
killed, telling the salesman he had

Eunice Pringle, former amateur
dancer, retelling the story Of an
asserted assault upon her by Alex
ander Pantages, wealthy theater-
man, broke down in tears today and
forced temporary recess of the
showmans second trial.
The girl was in the midst Of an

violently that she was forced to de-
lay her testimony.
A recess was declared while court
attendants brought her ice water,
A few minutes later she was able
to continue her story and the iur-
ors were brought back into the
courtroom.
In a voice so low that it was diff

she continued her testimony.
From the time that she first broke
down Miss Pringle sobbed almost
continuously until she left the stand
at the regular noon recess.
