DEATH CLAIMS
ANOTHER POISON
GRAIN VICTIM

FRESNO, Jan. %. W.H Mrs.
Celia Deloa, 30, was dead here to-
day, the sixth victim within the
week from thallium poisoning.
Her passing late yesterday was
the cause today of increased pes
simiSm as to the ultimate fate of
the 80 other MeXicans known to
have eaten within the last three
weeks of tortillas made of thallium-
poisoned barley intended for squir-
el-extermination.
Three of the seven victims re-
naming in hospitals appeared in
the final stages of the poison NAL
ady.
They were Mrs. Deloa'S husband,
Alexandra; Felicita Guerrero, 10,
and Ysobel Nunez, "a whose wife
and four young children were the
first TO die. Deloa's oldest son.
Ventura. 8, also was losing ground
today and the condition of Bernard
Ries, 20. was declared unfayorable.
One phase of the poison situation
has been the persistent refusal by
30 Of the MexicanS known to have
eaten of the fatal tortillas TO ac-
cept hospital treatment.
Almost the only hopeful ray in
the gloomy outlook was the i'm
pending arrival from Glenolden,
Pa, of DR.. j. c. Munich, world au-
thority on thallium poisoning who
left his home Tuesday night for
Fresno to take charge of treatment
of the poison victims.

BOTH PARTIES
SHARE in BILL
TO RAISE TAXES
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. car. IS. U.?)-
Democrats and Republicans Wed
with each other today to disclaim
any party responsibility for a tax
increase. Spokesman of each party
Joined in a mutually satisfactory
arrangement for a partisan"
measure.
Both parties agreed likewise
against retroactive increases to be
paid this year on last years in
comes. This was good news to the
taxpayer and the voter, and should
have salutary political effects.
The partisan" idea served to
eliminate political embarrassment
for both parties. Neither wanted
party credit for such an unpopular
measure as a tax increase bill. Both
were in a position to get the blame,
the Republicans because Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon recon-
mended an elaborate program, the
Democrats because they are in con-
troll of the house and nominally
responsible for its legislation. Facts
have been saved all around, for the
moment.

Brockman Opens
Fight On Recall
Continued From Page II

absolutely void Mackinnon de-
clared.
Brockman's attorney had fin
ished his arguments slightly before
noon, and n recess was taken until
230 this afternoon, when Childers
will present his view of the mat
ter. He had little chance this
morning to tell the districts side
of the question. After arguments
by Childers. and rebuttal argu-
ments by both sides, Judges Finney
and Thompson probably will take
the matter under consideration.
Figures Quoted
Early in his argument Mackin-
non cited figures which he later
used in arguing that signatures on
the Brockman recall petition were
insufficient.
In February. 1929, he said. a to-
tai of 405 votes were cast in Sub
division One, from which Brock
man was elected. On October 27,
1881, boundaries of the subdivision
were changed to include new ter
ritory north to FL Centre, and to
exclude a small portion of the old
territory Only SO votes were rep
resented in the district excluded,
the attorney said, while the dis
trict taken into the subdivision
represented ACT votes. based on a
general election in February, 1881,
when ira Aten was elected to the
board of directors.
In the revised subdivision there
are now more than twice as many
voters as were included in the old
boundaries, Mackinnon argued.
and, since the recall election is to
be held in the new district, the
number of signatures required on a
petition should be based on the
new figures, which would make
POI signatures necessary on such a
petition. The Brockman recall pc
tition carried only 148 signatures.
When he had finished giving
these figures, the attorney turned
to the matter of jurisdiction. Judge
Thompson asked if there was any
question, and Childers replied there
certainly was.
The irrigation districts chief
counsel contended an action such
as that pending before the court
should have been brought up i'm
mediately after the petition was
filed, instead of after the board of
directors had set date for the re-
call election. Failure to do so
showed a breach of good faith, he
inferred
AS the matter is now, Childers
asserted, the election must be held
even if an injunction is issued.

Suspected Man
Given Freedom

Joe Sowders was released from
the county Jail here today, after
he had been held eight days on
word he was wanted in Sapulpa
Okla, on a charge of illegally TAX
ing a large sum of money.
Sowders was released after Sa-
pulpa officers informed the sher-
ifs office here they were having
trouble with extradition proceed
ings, and would have to wait for
a grand jury meeting in February
before they could go ahead with
proceedings.
The prisoner was arrested on a
ranch near Seeley. The exact ma
ture of the charge against him
could not be learned, but he told
his jailers he probably was wanted
for taking money.

nese airplanes continued to bomb
Chapel, a native section of Shang-
hal, bombs falling in foreign area
as Japan sought desperately TO
complete occupation of the native
city before Chinese 'reinforcements
arrive.
The bombing of Chapel had con-
tinued relentlessly. Bombs dropped
by japanese planes turned the dis
trict into a terror stricken, fire
swept shambleS. The planes flew
in pairs. American property was
endangered.
One bomb fell near an American
church. Others were directed to-
ward a radio station partly owned
by Radio Corporation of America.
At least one train near North Sta
ton was bombed. The thickly pop
ulated Chinese district in which
terror stricken women and children
trembled was the chief target Of
the bombing planes.
Foreigners in the settlement
were appalled, at the ferocity of the
aerial raids and the wanton de
struction of Chapel and hoped
there would be no repition Of the
ghastly % hours.
Before the events of this terrible
Friday, foreign sentiment had not
been particularly against the Japa-
nese, many feeling that the Chi
nese were troublesome and
needed a lesson" The japanese,

however. they were almost unani-

went too far.

dogged resistance. They still held

The Chinese shot down a Jap
