NAVAL OFFICER
CAUSES DISPUTE,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 81 W.P)
AS an inquest into the suicide of
Lieutenant Commander Emory A.
Winship, wealthy retired naval Off
Ger, was about to be called today, a
controversy arose among his heirs
as to the size Of his supposedly vast
estate.
Charles w. Slack, counsel for
Winship, said his will would be filed
in Macon. Ga, his legal residence,
within few days and that 1t would
show his property consisted princi-
pally of few patent rights and q
mortgaged plantation in Bibb coun-
ty, Georgia.
Mrs. Dorothy Lamar Blount VIM
ship, the former Macon girl who
became Winship's second wife, and
separated from him two weeks be-
fore he killed himself, expressed
doubts that the reported $1,000 900
estate had been reduced.
Mrs. Winship has promised TO re-
veal the reasons for their separa-
ton when called to testify at the
inquest. Much OF her testimony
may deal with Winship's asserted
friendship with Miss Helen Eliza
beth Thompson.
Further involving the case was a
note left by Winship just before he
ended his life last Saturday, in
which he said he was driven to sui
eide by an overpowering desire to
kill two or more persons" Coroner
T. B. w. Leland said he intended to
inquire fully into the motive for the
suicide.
Attorney Slack said the will be
filed in Georgia would leave Mrs.
Winship only the amount required
by Georgia law. third interest in
the estate and years allowance

The children had been playing in

a dirt road toward the hills. At
lonely point he stopped. saying
the car had broken down. The chill

a distant oil derrick where they re-
lated their experience to workmen.
who in turn notified police. The
children described the man as 30

problems and practices.
The conference was attended by
over 500 delegates from Utah. WASH

Problems which puzzle the aver
age banker were brought up by men
who had made special studies or
were acknowledged experts.
An optimistic note was sounded
last night by United States Senator
Reed Smoot who believed that the
depression bottom had been reached
and conditions are considerably bet

TAMMAN HALL
OFFICIAL SEEKS
TO CLEAR MAYOR

NEW YORK, March 81. U.P) -
The defense that Tammany Hall Is
planning for Mayor James j. Walk
er, whose administration is the sub
ject of an extensive inquiry about
to be made by legislative commit
tee, became evident today.
Walker, Tammany will contend,
is no more to blame for the wrong
doing of his subordirates than Pres
ident Hoover would be for illegal
acts of prohibition agents or than
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt for
the New York state prison riots.
The Wigwams attitude was re-
vealed by Daniel F. Cohalan, chair
man of the advisory committee OF
Tammany Hall and former su-
preme court justice, in the first ut
terance of any administration
spokesman since the legislatures
investigation was ordered.
No head of a government nor
any subdivision thereof can be fair
ly held responsible for more than
general supervision of his subordi-
Mates" Cohalan told members OF
the Osceola club in a speech last
night.
1T would be unfair to impeach
President Hoover because of the
wholesale disregard of the 18th
amendment by federal prohibition
agents and other federal office
holders the country over"
Cohalan's speech revived the per-
sistent rumors that a housecleaning
was imminent in the city govern
ment to put it in stronger shape for
the legislatures scrutiny. These re-
ports had been allayed somewhat
by the statement of Mayor Walker
in Palm Springs, Cal, that he was
well satisfied with his administra-
ton and knew of no important Of
ficials he might remove.
The city's most important move
toward putting its house in order
was the arrest today of Rollin c.
Bastress. chief inspector in the bu-
reau of buildings. Bastress, who re-
signed after an inspection of the
bureau by Walkers own investi-
gator, had served the city for 20
years.

Light Voting In
School Election

Interest in the election. for trus-
tees of the Central Union High
School District and the grammar
school district seemed confined to a
small group today, as light voting
was reported.
In Ell Centro at l;30 today only
2l5 votes had been cast at the Will
son school. while voting at the high
school was slightly heavier, with
251 having cast ballots.
Indications are that balloting
during the remainder of the day
will be equally slight. with a pos
sible small rush to the polls in El
Centro at the high school and
Wilson school before they close at

Split Expected
In Assembly Row
Continued from page u

until noon, when members TOOK
down their hats and went home.
The next step toward solution of
the redistricting row Is scheduled
for Monday, when final vote on
passage of the assembly reappor-
tionment bill of Senator ]. w. Nc
Kinley, Los Angeles, is slated.
This bill was amended by the
lower house to conform with the
terms of the measure by Assembly
man Edward Craig, Brea. favoring
the San Francisco area, and backed
by Speaker Edgar c. Levey, of San
Francisco and his faction.
Meanwhile, a concerted effort was
under way by the Southern Cali
fornia delegation to gain enough
votes to defeat the Mckinley bill.
Failure of the two houses to
agree would throw the question into
free conference. If the conference
committee remains deadlocked, the
reapportionment of assembly dis
tricts, under the law. must be done
by a special committee of state Of
ficials headed by lieutenant gov
ernor.
A bill prohibiting, in effect, any
candidate for public office from
running as an independent, was
reported favorably to the senate to-
day by the elections committee OF
the upper house.
A measure by Senator George
Rochester, Los Angeles, providing
that a person could be an independ-
ent candidate only in the primary
elections, was refused by the COM
mittee.
Amendments proposed by Sena-
tor R. r. Ingels, however, provide
similar, if indirect restrictions. Un-
der the terms of the amended bill
a person who participated in the
primary election, in any way, even
by voting. would be barred as an
independent candidate.
With a stroke of $500 solid
gold pen presented him by Super
ior Judge j. o. Moncur Of Quincy
and a delegation from Plumas
county, Governor Rolph last night
authorized the inclusion OF 804
miles of road into the states Sec
ondary highway system.
Included are I'll miles Of north
ern and 633 miles of Southern Cal
ifornia roads. The northern coun-
ties quota includes the new IA
mile link in the American canyon,
reducing the distance between Sac
ramento and San Francisco by
five miles.
The program was introduced In
the senate by Nelson T. Edwards
Orange, and in the assembly by
Chester NJ. Kline, San Jacinto.
A measure proposing the expend-
iture of s4,Oo0,0o0 by the state in
separation of grade crossings was
killed with one fell swpop' by
the assembly committee on govern
mental efficiency and economy.

STATE TO USE $s,s5O,OOO
FOR BRIDES

Approximately 81, $50 900 will be
available for the reconstruction and
replacement Of inadequate bridges
on the Maryland road system in the
next twelve months, Harry D. Viii
liar, Jr., chief engineer of the State
Roads Commission, has announced.
About half this sum, or 81, 176, 500,
was approved by the commission at
a recent meeting. This sum is to be
expended on twenty bridges in eight
counties. The estimated cost Of
these projects range from 5000 to
1910, 600.
Five of the bridges are for Mont
gomery county, four for Frederick,
three each for Cecil and Prince
Georges, two for Allegany and one
each for Talbot, Worcester and Dor
chester.
While no contracts have been
awarded as yet, on many Of the prof.
ects preliminary surveys have been
made and, in some cases where
necessary, permits have been re-
quested from the War Department.
These improvements will not COM
plete the State Roads Commission
bridge program for 1881. From
time to time other structures will be
added, according to Mr.. Williar.
Approximately $500, 900 will be
available for similar work in 1882, it
was said. Money expended by the
commission is raised by the automo-
bile gasoline tax.
Contracts for construction work
on 1918 miles of State highway,
amounting to $432, 1880, were
awarded by the commission Thurs
day.
Among the bridges approved
are Elk River Ekton). Cecil-on

Bell Chapter. Telephone Pioneers Of
America. at the ninth annual meeting
held In Washington recently.
In speaking Of telephone develop
ment during the first part Of the
year, It was stated that the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Companies ope-
rate about s per cent of the total
telephones in the Bell System. Yet
during the year 1880, Is per cent of
all the telephones gained in the Bell
System were in this area. These fig
ures were even more impressive for
the first part of 1881. During that
period the Bell System had an actual
loss Of more than $4,000 telephones.
while In the area including Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia there was net
gain Of more than 1000.
1T is my personal feeling" Mr.. Will
son said, land I think 1t Is shared by
most Of the supervisory officials who
are constantly studying the situation
that this remarkable result did not
merely happen; nor was it due neces-
sarily to any better business condi-
tions in our territory AZ whole. In
my opinion, 1t has been due almost
entirely to the splendid efforts Of our
employee body in their determination
to resist what might be called the
psychological effect Of the business
depression. You simply have refused
to be discouraged and that In turn
can certainly in large part be attrib.
uted to the guidance and example Of
the older people In the organization
who have over long years of service
become familiar with what is some
times referred to as the Bell System
spirit; people who have learned to
respond to the call Of service"
