CIANNINI SAYS
CHRISTMAS MAY
SEE DIVIDENDS

SACRAMENTO, March %. U.H
Every effort will be made to re-
sumo payments of dividends by
Christmas"
This was the promise voiced here
last night by A. P. Giannini, pres
ident of Transamerica, at a meeting
of Bank of America officials.
Giannini would add nothing to
this statement concerning the huge
banking corporation. He did, how
ever. make a cautious forecast of
improved business conditions after
congress settles the deficit and tax
problems and railroad securities
put on a more substantial basis.
One thing is certain" Giannini
added, I'VE must make drastic cuts
in governmental expenditures. It's
got to come. Expenses of all
branches of government are out of
all proportion. They are five times
as great as they were in 1911. This
is one problem that must be set

SUPPOSED GERMAN SPY GIVEN
RELEASE FROM STATE PRISON

be keeping some man, who needed it.,

me alone, I'll go-I have friends
and money in Mexico. They don't
have to deport me- I want to CO."
Yesterday the immigration au-
thorities who had held him in Jail
for six months, took him up on his
offer.
They had been unable to find
record of his birth in Germany,
and Germany for some reason not
clearly revealed, did not want the
little mystery man either.
So, unable to deport him, the
officials turned Won BuloW loose
on his promise to leave the country.
The little man, clad in Jail
clothes, and with only a few dol
lars in his pocket, stood for while
on the Jail steps, gazing at the
big structure where he had been
held. Then he walked away into
the passing crowds, and disap-
peared.
The enigma of his identity still
remained and officials today had
no idea where he was.
But they believed that Count Carl
Won Buelow, the German spy was
on his way to Mexico, where he
':had friends and money"

s. P. REFUSED
PERMISSION TO
REDUCE RATES

WASHINGTON, March 90. U.P}-
The Southern Pacific system may
not reduce its rail-water coast to
coast freight rates in an effort to
meet the competition of ali water
rates through the Panama canal,
the interstate commerce commits
sion ruled today
The Southern Pacific and affil-
lated interests operate the Sunset
Golf route over which freight is
moved by rail from the Pacific
coast to either Galveston Or
Houston, Tex, and then by water
to eastern seaboard ports. Appli-
cation for reduction of these rail-
water rates was made in 1880.
In denying the application today
the commission found that the
lower rates proposed by the South
ern Pacific would not be reason
ably compensatory" Moreover, the
commission stated, the proposed
rates would be too high to attracr
any substantial volume of traffic
now moving through the canal.
Whatever advantage the Sunset
Gulf route would gain by the pro-
POSED reduction could be easily
offset by a slight reduction in the
all-water rates, it was stated.

BEAL'S ILLNESS
PROVES FATAL IN
COAST HOSPITAL
Director OF Imperial<Ir-
rigation District Dies

relatives.

GEORGIA TO ASK
DEATH PENALTY
IN RED TRIAL.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 23 U.P>-
Six alleged Communists faced trial
here today on charges of attempt
ing to incite insurrection, an Of

rreted as punishable by death.
why, certainly, I'll demand the
death penalty John Hudson,
assistant solicitor general in Fulton
county, told the United Press, re-
iterating position he took over G
year ago.
The six, called before Judge
Edgar E. Pomeroy in superior court
were Joe Carr, Mary Dalton, M. H
Powers, Ann Burlack and Gilmer
Grady and Henry Story, the last
two Negroes.
Counsel for the defense, Oliver
G. Honcock, Atlanta, announced
the defendants were ready, would
demand severance of the six cases,
and in any event would attack the
64-year-old Georgia statute as un
constitutional.
Whether the trials actually pro-
ceed to the jury stage depended
on the attitude of the court. 1t is
within the jurisdiction of the judge
to determine whether the ancient
statute, in fact, is applicable.
The six defendants were in
dicted for allegedly circulating
Communistic literature at meet
ing here which was raided by po-
lice two years ago For months
they were held in Jail, then re-
leased on bond.

right, but Officer Roy Nc

that he counted on to keep
his feet warm.
So when he came running
into the police station shout
ing for a bucket of water and
plunged in his feet, shoes and
all, his brother officers were
mildly curious.
McCutcheOn explained he
had inserted metal plates in

hooked them up 10 some small
batteries to form simple and
effective pair of foot warmers.

PLAN TO
QUESTION
RECEIVER
Allison Sought By Los
Angeles Grand Jury In
Judge Scandal.
REPORTED MISSING
All Other Receiyerships
May Be Included In
New Investigation.

LOS ANGELES, March %. U.P)-
Charles F. Allison, who with A. j.
Showalter was ousted as a receiver
for the $18,O00,000 American Mort
gage company under circumstances
involving the names of four supe-
rior court judges and questionable
administration of the properties,
was sought today for questioning by
the Los Angeles county grand jury.
Investigators for the district at
torney's office, under Chief Deputy
District Attorney Robert P. Stew
art, we're unable to locate him yes
terday. He was not at his home
or office and the searcherS failed
to learn his whereabouts.
District Attorney Buron Fits en-
tered the case by placing his inves-
tigators at the disposal of the grand
jury, joining the Los Angeles Bar
association, the Lawyers club and
the county judiciary in considera-
ton of the involved affair.
Superior Judge Walter s. Gates,
presiding judge of the superior
court, led the judiciary investiga-
ton of the case-the first in Los
Angeles ever to impugn the integ-
rity of the courts. The judges in
question assertedly received favors
from the receivers acting under
their jurisdiction.
Judge Gates asserted he would
use every power to protect bond
holders of the company.
Charges Violations
'The preliminary report of the
auditors" he said, "discloses that
two of these receivers have violated
the trust imposed upon them by
this court-and I shall hold them
accountable under their bonds.
Should the final report show GRIM
/ inal acts by anyone shall order
the district attorney and the grand
jury to take immediate action"
The grand jury prepared to take
up not only the Allison -Showalter
case, but also to investigate all 9TH
er receivership matters which might
be called to its attention.
1t was reported today that Max
E. Socha, vice president of the
Bank of Commerce, now in liquid
alton. had gone to Sacramento to
confer with Governor James Rolph,
Jr. regarding the receivership situ-
alton.
Rumors were persistent that Gov
ernor Rolph would ask w. w. Mines,
appointed to succeed Showalter and
Allison, and Edward A. Adams,
Mines attorney, to confer with him
in Sacramento. Intervention by the
governor might involve action by
the state legislature.

THREE STUDENTS
SHOT BY FOURTH
in CAMPUS ROW
University OF Missouri
Hazing Passes Beyond
Usual Lines.

COLUMBIA, Mo, March %. U.P)
"A bitter college feud between I'm
iversity of Missouri engineers and
law students passed from hazing to
actual violence with three students
suffering gunshot wounds and
fourth in the hospital with a pos
sible skull fracture.
KIDNAPPING of a coed, Mary
Louise Butterfield of Kansas City,
last Saturday so she could not reign
as queen of the engineers ball
brought an attempted reprisal that
ended in gunplay.
Burnis Friedrich, law student who
had been identified as one of Miss
Butterfield's abductors, shot three
engineering classmates when they
tried to kidnap him in revenge.
! Friedrich. after he had wounded
Frank Luckey of Columbia; Charles
Love of jefferson City, and Jerry
F.. Cebe of st. Louis, was beaten
severely by the engineers. His
skull may be featured.
Luckey was shot in the abdomen,
and physicians, after an operation,
described his condition as serious. &"
Three automobiles bearing II en-
| gineering students surrounded Fred
rick's rooming house last night, de-
termined to kidnap him and even
the score with the lawyers. Miss
Butterfield had said he was one of
the group who captured her in front
| of her SOrority house.
Friedrich, as he came out of his
house was stormed by the engineer
ing students.
Leave me alone, or I'll Shoot"
he shouted.
When the students surrounded
him, he drew a .38 caliber revolver
and shot Love in the leg. Then
he ran down the street, turning
several times to fire at his pur-
suerS.
One bullet struck Luckey. He fell
to the sidewalk, wounded in the alb
domen.
Just Like Gangsters
Friedrich ran two more blocks and
/ onto the porch of private resi-
dence where he fired his last bullet
which grazed Cebe's leg.
The youth, his gun empty, was
bound by the remaining students
and carried away in an automobile
While the deputy sheriffs hunted
him, Friedrich was in the hands of
his abductors, being driven around
Columbia streets in their car.
He was tossd out in front of a
hospital, still bound and with a
huge welt on his head.
Another law student, Max Pat
ten of Columbia, who lives with
Friedrich, also was abducted. He
had no part in the shooting.
Friedrich faces possible criminal
charges in connection with the
wounding of the three youths.
The feud between the engineer
ing and law school students at
Missouri is Of long standing, but
always before it has been confined
to minor hazings.
