Drought Report
Made By Hyde

WASHINGTON, April Z. (U.P)-
Standing at President Hoover's S
desk, Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
today gave the President and the
press report of what he found on
his recent trip through the drought
area.
At Mr. Hoover's request, the sec
retary took over the Presidents
press conference and announced the
drought is over and there is every
prospect of fine crop.
Loans amounting to 27,472 900
had been made up to this morning
from the federal drought relief,
Hyde said. The number of families
receiving this government aid was
1876, 6,632. giving an average of $153
per family.
The Red Cross has entirely elini-
mated any human suffering, Hyde
said.
AS the secretary talked, Mr.. Hoo
yer paced up and down the floor of
the presidential office, putting in a
word now and then. 1t was the first
time in the memory of newspaper
men that a President had turned his
office over to anyone for such pur-
pose. He apparently was as enthu-
siastic as Hyde over the situation
in the areas which suffered during
the winter from lack of rain.

YOungster Dies
From Ant Poison

LOS ANGELES, April 7. U.R -
Ant paste, which he ate last Thurs
day, proved fatal to Carl Oxeniuf,
3, of lots Dudley street, Pomona.
After being treated for several
days the boy died at the General
hospital early today.
The boy had obtained the paste
from some containers left in an or
ange grove near his home by the
county ant control. The containers
were believed to have been put suf-
ficiently high enough to be out of
the reach of children.
The child, however, apparently
climbed a tree, took some of the
paste and ate it. His condition was
discovered when he returned home
for lunch. After receiving medical
treatment at DR.. r. L. Smiths Of
flee he returned home, but his con-
dition became worse so he was or
dered to the General hospital where
efforts to save his life failed.

HAY GROWERS OF
VALLEY POSTPONE
MARKETING PLAN

Hay growers of the valley met
last night in the Planters hotel
Brawley, to take up the question
of forming a marketing association
similar to the one in operation In
Antelope Valley.
A previous meeting had been held
and the project discussed, and
committee appointed to investi-
gate the possibilities of organizing.
It was the consensus of opinion
last night that the time was not
yet ripe for formation of an asso-
citation, but that the project should
be further investigated.
Possibility of maintaining at var
ious stations where hay is weighed,
a list of hay available SO that buy
ers may know where to locate the
amount and type desired, was dis
cussed. 1t was thought that in
this way the small grower, who is
unknown to the buyer, might ad-
vertise his hay and thus facilitate
him in marketing his product.
E. T. HeweS, president of the hay
improvement association, Frank
Beyschlag. farm advisor, Scott B.
Foulds. secretary-manager of the
farm bureau, and Gilbert Fuller.
federal hay grader were among
those present at the meeting.

More Charges In
Love Mart Case

LOS ANGELES, April 7. UP
Olive Clark Day and William H.
Jobelmann, who asSertedly intro
duced minor girls to wealthy men
as party companions, were being
held here today for San Diego
authorities.
They were arrested last night on
warrants telegraphed from San
Diego in connection with charges
that they took two girls to San Di-
ego for a party given by Alexan-
der Pantages, John P Mills and
Jesse Shreye, three wealthy men.
The defendants are to face pre-
liminary hearing in San Diego
Monday on charges involving Alice
Blake, 10. and Helen Liyington, 18,
Miss Day had been sought by San
Diego authorities more than a
month. She was released from the
Los Angeles county Jail early in
March on $4,000 bail after charges
involving young girls had been filed
against her and Jobelmann here.

Menacing Card with a As auto
matte, one of the men held him mo-
tionleSs while the other looted the
cash drawer of the service station
The party then drove away, appar-
emily heading for Holtville or Yuma
Officers in Holtville, and at the
quarantine station in Yuma were
notified to watch for the bandits.
Unless they turned back before
reaching Yuma 1t would be almost
impossible for them to escape cap
ture there.
Two of the men are thought to
be marine corps deserters, who were
under court martial sentenced for
desertion in San Diego yesterday
afternoon when they slugged their
lone guard and escaped in a taxi
cab with another man and a woman,
who had hired the cab in the down.
town section of San Diego.
Driving away from the marine
base, the men ordered the cab driver
out, and drove awayl, first warning
him to say nothing. Last night
three men and a woman in a taxi
cab, exactly fitting the description
of the marines and their compan-
ions, held up Russell Bray and Dor
othy ReStine on the Camp Kearney
mesa in San Diego, took their car,
and drove away.
The men and woman who held up
the Ell Centro service station were
in a car fitting the description of
that stolen on the Camp Kearney
mesa, and themselves fitted de-
scriptions broadcast by San Diego
officers.
One of the marines was known
to have a As automatic when he
left the marine base. 1t was this
gun, think officers, that was used
in the Ell Centro robbery.
The woman who was in the auto
mobile with the three men was de-
scribed as pretty blonde. The men
are all of medium height. One of
the marines is dark, and the other
fair. The stolen car is a sedan.
