year is a bad year for business,
which would indicate that we must

CAPT. DOLLAR DIES
AFTER LONG COMA
Shipping Magnate, 88, Fails
to RaIIy-Name Known
Around World.
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated treSS-
SAN RAFAEL, Calf, May 16.-Capt
Robert Dollar, 88-year-old veteran of
the shipping and lumber industries, died
at his home here at ITO am. today
after an illness Of two weeks.
The grand old man of the Pacific,
whose name is carried to the far corners
of the earth by his fleets of merchant
ships. drifted quietly away on his last
long voyage as sorrowing members Of
his family watched at the bedside.
Started With Cold.
He had been In a coma more than
36 hours. The illness started with a
severe cold which developed into
bronchial penumonia.
Signs of improvement were noted last
week. but relapse followed.
Mrs. Dollar, who had been In faith
full attendance since the illness began
May 2, was supported by three sons,
Harold, Stanley and Melville Dollar,
and their wives and children.
Funeral services win be held We'd
nesday in San Rafael.
Last March Capt. Dollar celebrated
his 88th birthday anniversary and in
a statement said the world was "a
fine place for those who liked to work. "
His entire life had been one Of activity.
Worked in Shipyards.
He was born in Falkirk, Scotland,
March 20, 1874. He went to work as
a boy in the shipyards and at the age
of IA, with his father and brothers,

out the details and then sailed on the

and prospective customers around the
globe.

HOOVER TO MEET
JERSEY OFFICIAL
Chief of Federal Inspectors to Lay
Plans for Wide
Manhunt.

Organization of the Governments
investigative forces for participation In
the Nationwide man hunt for the
Lmdbergh baby killers was being per-
fected here today pending a conference
with State authorities on a plan of
strategy.
Correlation of Federal and State
activities will be sought at a meeting
expected to take place this week be-
tween j. Edgar Hoover, director of the
United States Bureau of Investigation
and co-ordinator of Federal agencies
assigned to the case, and Col. Norman
Schwarzkopf, New Jersey State police
head, in direct charge of the Lindbergh
investigation.
Gov. Moore's reply to the letter of
resources of the Government in the
search for the slayers. was being
awaited here today. The Governor
has indicated he will designate Col.
Schwarzkopf to confer with Hoover.
Meanwhile several Federal agencies
were functioning under the new pre-
identially-created plan for central
clearing house or general head
quarters" in the Bureau of Investiga-
tton for control of the Federal inquiry.
While the Coast Guard secured the
seas for some clue to the criminals,
Treasury officials prepared to make
renewed request to banks for careful
scrutiny of currency in an effort to
trace more of the $4,000 paid as futile
ransom by Col Lindbergh. Only a $40
and a IS bill so far have been re-
covered.
An intelligent investigation, with no
danger, as IN the past, of duplication Of
effort or overlapping of authority, will
be possible under President Hooyer's
unusual order.
A line Of investigation begun under
Elmer L. Trey. chief of the internal
revenues special intelligence unit, win
be continued by Frank Wilson, one Of
Irey's picked agents, who has been at
work on the case for several weeks.
The Justice Bureau will be kept advised
of developments in this connection.
Complete harmony prevailed, despite
the unprecedented situation whereby
agencies of other departments viii re-
port to the Department of Justice. All
branches were imbued with q determi-
nation to carry out unselfishly and de-
terminedly the Presidents instructions
that vigilance be maintained until the
murderers are found.
E. j Connolly of the New York ONCE
of the Bureau Of Investigation, who was
in consultation with State police during
the first 10 days after the kidnapping,
was expected to re-enter the case as q
liaison officer between the Government
and the New Jersey officials.

EXTRA GUARD PUT
IN SUPREME COURT
Precautions Are Taken Fol-
lowing Threat of Communist
Demonstration.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
On report that Communists planned
a march to the Supreme Court cham
Der, extra policemen were detailed to
duty at the Capitol today.
At the request of Charles Elmore
Cropley, clerk Of the Supreme Court.
five additional policemen were ordered
to the vicinity of the Supreme Court
chambers.
Fear of o demonstration was evident,
but officials said the measures were
merely precautionary. They did not dis
close the source Of the report.
Agitate Scottsboro Case.
The case of six colored men under
sentence of death at Scottsboro. Ala,
has been the subject Of agitation In
quarters Of this country and in foreign
capitals. Indications today were that
the appeal ON their behalf to the Su-
preme Court was not expected to be
fled until after 1t adjourns for the
term on May 81.
Should the petition not reach the
court in time for its action before its
adjournment for the term, as now seems
to be the purpose Of counsel for the COL
ored men, the execution, scheduled for
June "a, would have to be stayed If
the court Is to have an opportunity to
decide when 1t meets In next October
whether it will review the case.
Alabama's attorney general feels the
State courts have no power to stay the
execution further.
That would make 1t necessary for
the petition after the term has ended
to try to obtain a stay order from JUS
tice Cardozo, who has supervision over
the circuit In which Alabama is located
And-in case he should refuse-to at
tempt to obtain stay from one of the
other justices Of the Supreme Court.
Record Being Printed.
The record in the case is now being
printed to have 1t ready when the petit
ton is filed. It was said today, how
ever, that under instructions given by
counsel for the colored men, they will
not want the record until June.
This indicates it Is the purpose of
counsel to withhold the filing of the
petition in time for the court to act
before the term closes May 81, and to
place all hope of preventing the execu-
tion set for June "a by obtaining a
stay from one of the justices Of the
Supreme Court.
In the Sacco-Vanzetti case, filed dur
ing the 1927 Summer recess of the
court, all justices refused to stay execu-
ton. The two men were executed be-
fore the court reassembled In October
The men under sentence at Scotts-
boro were convicted on charges Of
criminal assault upon two white girls.

DRY REFERENDUM
Prohibition Views in Accord
With Those of California,
Senator Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Shortridge, Republican, of
California, today said he favors giving
the people opportunity to exercise their
right to modify or alter or repeal the
eighteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton"
Shortridge has voted for enforcement
measures, including the Jones five
and-ten" law increasing the penalties
for Volstead act violations. He comes
up for reelection this year.
MY views" he set forth in a formal
statement, "are in entire harmony with
the public policy of California, whose
people have provided in their State con-
stitution for the initiative and the
referendum. Under our California con-
stitution the people may initiate a law
to be adopted by vote of the people, or
compel a referendum on law to be
adopted or rejected by vote of the
people.
"The great and far-seeing statesmen
who framed the Constitution of the
United States realized and anticipated
that conditions might and probably
would call for its amendment. Hence
Article v OF the Constitution, which
provides and prescribes the procedure
for its amendment.
Il believe, and have always believed
that the people should be given, and
I shall vote to give them, opportunity
to exercise that inherent, constitutional
right with respect to the eighteenth
amendment.
while the eighteenth amendment re-
mains a part Of the Constitution Of the
United States it must be upheld"

from home" and explained:
What we want most to do is to
