(U.P)-A nation will be plunged in
to darkness tonight as a tribute to
Thomas Alva Edison who was bur-
led today near the scenes of his
achievements after the simplest Of
private ceremonies.
The body of the inventor was
carried early today from the library
of his workshop, where it was viewed
by thousands, back up the hill to
the Llewellyn Park home of the
Edisons for the funeral.
There will be no eulogy during
the service, in accordance with the
inventors expressed wish before he
died, but the nation will turn
lights out" as its final tribute to
the inventor of electric lights.
At President Hoover's suggestion
lights will be turned out for 60 sec
onds at 10 p. m, (EST), when the
entire country is depending on the
filament bulb developed by Edison.
Closing down of the thousands of
dynamos supplying electrical power

because such action might cause
death.
This. demonstration of the de-
pendence of the country upon cleo
trical current for its life and health

Federal immigration officers TO-
day cast a web of mystery around

Angeles police officer, a man whose
last name was given as Noting,
and third man whose name could
not be learned were taken into GUS

nothing about the case. The three
men were spirited to San Diego last
night without being booked at the
county Jail here.
Details of the dramatic capture
of the three white men and four
Chinese were learned, however,
from a reliable source.
Federal officers, acting on a tip,
waited for two automobiles on the
highway northeast of CaleXico. The
first car to be stopped was a small
pilot car, assertedly driven by Nolt-

reverse and backed to a bridge
where he leaped out. He was cap
tured, however, under the bridge,
and the Chinese taken into custody.
The Chinese immigration problem,
which has been threatening ser

TOXIC, Oct. q. U.R)-Japan con-
tinued her political and military
operations in Manchuria today
while government authorities stu
died the nations position in the
League of Nations council.
The situation was complicated by
the first evidence that Soviet Rus
sia has shown an interest in the
Manchurian controversy between
Japan and China, the subject now
under study by the League council.
The Mukden correspondent Of
Nippon Dempo japanese news
agency, reported here that a repre-
sentative of the Moscow government
has conferred with the governor Of
the special district in Harbin, Man
churia. Harbin is an important rail
point in which Russian and Japan
are both interested.
The Russian envoy later departed
for Peiping, the correspondent said,
to meet General Chang Hsueh-
Liang, dictator of Manchuria. Gen
eral Chang has remained in Peiping
ever since the outbreak of the Jap
anese conflict, and his policy OF
non-resistance led to the establish
ment of new municipal governments
in Manchuria headed by Chinese
citizens with japanese advisers.
The japanese demands as a basis
for a settlement with China, and
Tokio's notes to the League council
were discussed by Emperor HirOhitO

CRAMER BAKERY
Will. CELEBRATE
10th BIRTHDAY

Forty years ago a young man,
firm n the belief that he could
make and bake a better loaf of
bread than any baker in San d.
ego took his bride into his conf
denee and his partnership and
baked his first loaf of bread Then
with a basket on his arm, he set out
to sell that baking Of So loaves.
The young man was George ".
Cramer.
Today Cramers bakery, with its
two plants, one on the original sit

the other in FL Centre, supplies
more than 100000 slices of bread
daily for the people Of San Diego
and Imperial counties in California
and Yuma county in Arizona.

one of the three sons of that pio-
neer baker, and the assistant man
2ger is Herman Ct. Cramer, another
son.
In commemoration of this fOrtieth
birthday of the firm, Cramer's
Bakery is host to all its patrons at
a ball Thursday night at the Mis-
sion Beach ball room, San Diego.
When the new San Diego plant
was built Henry Cramer incorpor-
