ROMANCE WRITES
LAST CHAPTER In
HOAX SLAYING'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12.-U.P)-
A final chapter to the strange story
of the hoax murder" of Mildred
Scheidler, 20 year old Indiana
hitch-hiker was W ten today with
a reunion with he mother and the
revelation that she was married to
the youth who completed the trans
continental junket with her.
Mildred. whom Arthur Metcalf
Indiana farm youth confessed
killing" calmly embraced her mo-
ther, Mrs. Wanda Schneider, Of
Fresno, Cal, whom she hadn't seen
since she was 5, shook hands with
Metcalf, and then introduced
George Redden, 20, as her hus-
band
Mildreds appearance at police
station Monday night to deny she
was dead, exposed the fantastic
story of Metcalf that he had kill
ed her near Needles, Calf, because
she had spurned his advances. The
two had hitchhiked from La Porte,
Ind, where Mildred lived, later be-
ing joined by Redden who brought
her here.
Metcalf went to Fresno where
he presented himself as Mrs
Scheidler's long-lost son.
After the reunion here, Metcalf
was returned to Fresno where he
will be held for Indiana authori-
ties who reported him mentally de-
ficient.
Mildred said she and Redden were
married last Saturday.

MUD And WATER
ONLY SIGNS OF
RECENT STORM

Power lines, highways and rail-
roads in Imperial Valley were
functioning TO full capacity today
eS a bright sun promised an end
to stormy weather and a begin
ming of the valleys usual ideal
fall and winter weather.
While water still stands in de-
pressions and mud is thick on dirt
roads, the sun was making quick
work of repairing damage of this
sort done by the extensive storm
of the weekend.
Trains again are routed over
the main line of the Southern Pa
cific between Yuma and inland.
Travel has been resumed over ev-
cry arterial highway leading into
the valley.
Surveys showed that damage
done by the storm was negligent,
for lettuce was not yet mature
enough TO suffer. Only the fall
cutting of hay suffered to any
great extent. This may react as
a boon to Imperial Valley by rails
ing market prices.
BY many the recent storm was
considered the end of summer and
the beginning of winter.

Bret Harte, California's own be-
loved writer of the early days, is
the real author of wild Girl /,
which plays tonight and tomorrow
night at United Artists theatre, the
play being based on his story,
"Salomy James Kiss.
In portraying this romantic
story of early California days, the
Fox company has gathered a not
able cast, including Charles Farrell
and Joan Bennett, who play the
leading roles, with Ralph Bellamy
Irving Pichel, Eugene Palette,
Willard Robertson and others in
the supporting cast.
AS wild Girl", Miss Bennett
portrays a high spirited girl in
mining camp, who is the darling
of all the rough men in the place,
but especially of her father, a
southern gentleman, who has
seen better days. She is sought
in marriage by the camp politician
and the leading business man but
scornS them both, particularly
when a mysterious stranger in a
ragged Confederate uniform comes
to the camp.
Their acquaintanceship ripens
into love, but the stranger has
come on serious business, which
gets him into trouble with the au-
thorities. He has several brushes
with the law before he and the
girl are able to outwit the Off
cials and flee the camp to con-
tinue their romance elsewhere.
John Gilbert, with a long string
of silent and talking film success
seS behind him, has turned author
and will be seen tonight and to-
morrow at Fox Imperial theatre in
Downstairs" a play written by
himself, and in which he assigned
himself the romantic role of the
villain. who resorts to blackmail.
Added interest in the picture is
given by the presence of Virginia
Bruce in the leading feminine role,
Miss Bruce, in real life, being Gil
bert's wife. Paul Lukas, Hedda
Hopper, Reginal Owen, Olga Bac-
lanova and Lucien Littlefield are
also in the film.
The plot is laid in a European
castle. with Gilbert as the schem-
ing chauffeur who plans to run
away with the buffers wife, after
he has stolen the cooks savings
to finance his venture. Fate fore
stalls him however, and accords
him happy death" by drowning
him in a vat of wine.

IF what occurred in the house Of
L. representatives Friday is the type
of governmental economy that the
state is to expect from the special
session of the general assembly,
then it may as well fold up and
call it a day, and cheap at that
A beautiful example Of sound
economy it was not.
Under suspension Of the rules, the
house rushed through the $4,000
appropriation bill for the special
session.
And to show the taxpayers that
we are in earnest. and to obtain the
desired psychological effect" as
Hardin Linke (Dem), Columbus,
and chairman of the ways and
means committee. explained it, the
salaries Of employees was reduced
from $6 to SIS a day.
While this was going on, Rep
resentative E. Curtis White (Dem.)
indianapolis, was attempting vainly
TO attract the attention of Speaker
Walter Myers.
Finally, when recognized, White
presented resolution which would
have the record show that the as
semblymen were working without
pay, but would allow them IS a day
for living expenses.
The Speaker ruled that the
resolution was out of order, because
voting on the appropriations bill
was in, progress.
-
What Whites move amounted to
was reduction Of pay Of senators
and representatives to IS day for
this session.
The members were against that,
of course, and If they accomplish
the work for which the assembly
was convened, they are worth more
than the $40 per diem-but the in

consistency Of the whole thing is in
slashing the salaries of clerks and
doorkeepers 81 day.
Let's see what that amounts to IN
actual savings.
The house employs no more than
twenty persons. If the session con-
tinues for forty days, as appears at
present, the reduction in wages will
total $500 for both houses.
That saving is achieved in the pay
Of those least able to afford it.
If the house was consistent in its
determination to save, it should
have adopted Whites resolution,
which would have meant 5000 a
member, or a total of $4,000 for
the forty days.
Compare that with the $500 and
you will agree that the houses
action in regard to the employees
certainly was fine example of the
inconsistency which the people may
have to expect.

the injustice of the reduction and
voted and spoke against passage of
the appropriations bill, but the large
majority, evidently afraid that fur
ther debate might result in having
their own pay cut, voted AYE" and
the measure now is in the senate.
Perhaps in that chamber it may
be decided that the session was not
convened for the sole purpose of
effecting a saving to taxpayers of
$500.
No one finds fault with the per
diem of the members.
But consistency can not be too
much to expect for the peoples
representatives. Or are we all
wrong and the people really are
without representation?

q DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

TN "The Forge" T. S. Stribling
l. painted a strong, persuasive
picture of the death of the tradi-
tional civilization Of the old south
in the Civil war.
Now he has written "The Store -
an even better novel, which studies
the painful efforts of the south to
re-establish itself following the war
and the disastrous reconstruction
period.
Colonel Miltiades Walden, who
figured so prominently in the first
novel, is the central character of
this one. At the time the story
opens-in Il he early Colonel
Milt has fallen on evil days.
The enfranchised blacks of north
ern Alabama are little better off
than they were under slavery. The
upper class whites have been ruined,
the middle class has not found its
moorings; the poor white trash"
are sunk in despair.
Colonel Milt, like the class he
represents, tries to fight his way
back to fortune. Once he sees a
way, he is utterly ruthless; he bold
ly steals a steamboat load of cotton,
sells it, brushes his ancient rival,
establishes himself in spite of public
condemnation.
But the book is interesting, not so
much for its plot as for its back
ground.
Mr.. Stribling has presented de-
tailed picture, bringing out the con-
fusion, the misery and the turbu-
lence Of the MISREPRESENTATION era
with vivid colors. THE Store" is
an exceptionally fine book.
Published by Doubleday, Doran &
Co., and priced at $3.50, it is the
July selection of the Literary Guild
