new SURGICAL
INSTRUMENT TO
ASSIST SCIENCE

PHILADELPHIA, March 10. U.P)
DR.. Chevalier Jackson, inventor of
the widely-known bronchoscope
and head of the bronchoscopic
clinic at the Temple university
hospital has devised another in
strument of similar nature and
purpose.
The new device, the esophago-
scope, performs in one operation
the work formerly done in two.
Doctor Jackson's clinic already
has used his new invention in So
cases, it was revealed by DR..
Thomas A. Shallow, professor of
surgery at jefferson medical COL
lege, in a lecture before the Phlia-
delphia medical college. ...
Doctor Shallow said the new in
strument was perfected to relieve
a throat condition called pharyne-
geal diverticulum, the formation
of a pouch which protrudes into
the intestinal tract, far back in
the throat between the pharynx
and the esophagus.
This condition subjects the pa
tient to starvation and heretofore
two operations six months apart
were necessary Doctor Shallow
said. &sxM
Doctor Jackson's first invention,
the bronchoscope, which has saved
the lives of countless persons, by
removing substances in the thrat
and lungs, was hailed throughout
the world as one of the greatest
surgical inventions in the twentieth
century.

Unemployed Men
Victims OF Joke

LOS ANGELES, March 10. U.P>-
At least so men and one mayor
would like to catch certain party
who has an odd taste for jokes
The so men answered an adver-
tiSement in Los Angeles paper
today for 25 men to do work pay
ing S. to $40 a day. The address
given was that of Mayor H. r.
Middlemiss of Southgate.
The mayor thinks 1t must be an
attempt of his enemies to en-
barrass him, he said, because he
certainly did not advertise for
the men.
The advertisement read:
Men, 25, for steady city en-
ployment; this is hard work bur
pays from $5 to $40 a day. Not
sales work but honest jobs for
honest men. See mayor, 1927

MEDICAL SCIENCE
FAILS TO SAVE
G0RILLA'S LIFE

WASHINGTON, March 10. U.P)
N'Gi. the National zoos prize baby
gorilla, died today despite sciences
efforts to save him from the raw
ishes of a respiratory infection.
For two weeks, N'Gi had been
given the best treatments known to
modern medicine, including ad-
miniStration of oxygen with spe-
cial apparatus brought from New
York. For a time he seemed on
the way to recovery.
Yesterday he suffered a relapse.
An X-ray showed that his left
lung had collapsed. Oxygen was
administered in larger quantities.
Early today he seemed to be gain
ing again. But at 8:15 a. m. he
died.
Head Keeper William H. Black
burn said death was due to gen
eral collapse, weakness and total
loss of appetite"
DR.. William E. Mann, director
Of the ZOO, had spent much time
with N'Gi during his illness, hop
ing that he would be able to pull
him through. 1t would have been
triumph for science, for no
gorilla has ever lived in captivity
beyond the age of seven years. But
apparently all the resources OF
medicine cannot make up for The
strange climate and the restric-
tions imposed by iron bars.
N'Gi was captured in Africa
three years ago by an expedition
sponsored jointly by Walter Chrys-
Ter and the Smithsonian institu-
ton. He was one of the seven
young gorillas in this country.
During N'Gi's illness, the zoos
younger gorilla, O'Kero, and the
two chimpanzees, Teddy and Jo-Jo,
became sick with colds. They
seemed all right today.

SHANGHAI, March 10. UP)-The
Chinese government returned to the
countrys most powerful warlords
for protection today by considering
division of the republic into four
large military defense areas, each
under supervision of a militarist
commanding large areas.
While government leaders debat-
ed the plan, Chinese authorities
paved the way here for negotiations
to cpd fighting with the japanese.
A reply to japanese Minister Ma
moru Shigemitsu's peace overtures
was sent by the Chinese, voicing
a willingness to negotiate but limit
ing discussions to matters pertain
ing to a definite cessation of hos
tilities ana complete and uncondi-
tional withdrawal of Japanese
troops.
The warlords mentioned in ad-
vices from Nanking included Gen.
Chang Kai-Shek and Marshal
Chang Hseuh-Liang. Chang Kai-
Shek would be given command of
the Yangtze valley area, scene of
six weeks fighting between invad-
ing and defending armies. Chang
Hseuh-Liang would command North
China, near the Manchurian border
across which the last of his once
powerful army was forced by jap
aneSe who captured Chinchow.
1t was emphasized the plan would
not contemplate civil division in
to four political entities but that
the country would remain united
with four military defense zones.
Ho Ying-Chin would command
the Yellow river area with Han Fu-
Chu as deputy. Chen Chi-Tang
would command the Chukiang river
area assisted by Pal Chun-Shi. Yen
Hsi-Shan would be Chang Hseuh-
Liang'S deputy, and Chen Ming
Shu assistant to Chang Kai-Shek.
Peace negotiations here were con-
Quoted through the British minister,
Sir Miles Sampson. Japanese civil
and military authorities acting on
Toxic instructions notified the
Chinese they were ready to negoti-
ate. The Chinese considered the
way open for conditional accept
ance.
Japanese said they were ready to
negotiate on terms of League of
Nations resolution of March which
provided for cessation of hostilities
and suggested arrangements for
Japanese troops withdrawal.

SECOND Staying
TRIAL STARTED
IN LOCAL COURT

On the heels of one murder trial,
and while the jury still was delib-
Grating the fate of its principals,
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson today
took up another, the trial of A. l..
Hendrix on a charge of numbering
w. II. Mccoy January 10 five miles
north of Holtville.
District Attorney Elmer w. Head
and D, H. Wolford, his chief GRIM
inal deputy, without even breath
ing spell in the stress and nervous
strain of such trial, were prepar-
ing to go ahead with prosecution
of Hendrix.
Aligned against them as defense
attorneys were Clarence B. Smith
and Fred Thompson.
Two murder cases could scarcely
be more different than the trial of
Daniel d. Marion and Mrs. Inez
Marion for the asserted murder Of
Alberto Garcia, just completed, and
that Of Hendrix, just started.
The jury had just been charged
in the Marion case at II O'Clock
this morning when Judge Thomp-
son called the Hendrix case. After
the roll call of jurors was made,
however, court recessed until 2
o'clock, when selection of a jury in
the Hendrix case was to begin.
Hendrix is charged with killing
Mccoy during an argument over a
calf. which belonged to McCoy and
which had strayed onto Hendrix
land. The latter was holding the
calf as security, demanding that
Mccoy pay pasturage.
Death of Mccoy was caused by
a blow on the head, according to
a story told at that time after Off
GERS had conducted an investiga-
ton. What Hendrix defense will
be is unknown, but it was the gen.
eral theory today the plea of self
defense will be entered.

SEEK MEANS TO
REMOVE FRENCH
FRUIT EMBARGO
California Citrus Indus
try Little Effected By
New Ruling.

PARIS, March 10. U.P - With
over $10,000,000 in annual American
trade the stake, officials of the AM
erican embassy, commercial attache,
and American Chamber of Com
merce have begun their study of
means to combat the new French
embargo on fresh fruit and live
plants.
American importers were partic-
ularly concerned over whether large
fruit shipments now enroute to
France would be allowed to enter.
Discovery of fruit pest, and OF
the San Jose scale in American ap-
pies, was given as the reason for
the restrictions.
The embargo ruined a national
campaign to popularize Florida and
California grapefruit and American
pears, which had broken previous
import records The action was
surprising since recent tests at LIE
Havre revealed that American ap-
pies in boxes were entirely uncon-
taminated, and that apples in bar
rels were only slightly affected.
The senate was expected to dou-
BILE import duty soon on prunes, of
which the United States ships
S3,000,000 worth annually to France.
Virginia, California, Oregon and
Washington apples were the most
severely affected by the new de-
cree, which also applied to Can
ada, Japan, China, Australia and
New Zealand. 1t became effective
immediately with only few class
es of box fruits excepted.
LOS ANGELES, March 10. U.P)-
Paul S. Armstrong, general man
agcr of the California Fruit Grow
ers' exchange, said today that any
embargo placed on California and
Florida grapefruit would have "lit-
tie effect on the industry.
Armstrong declared that the ex-
ports of grapefruit from America
to France is of such small guam
tity that it will cut little figure"
Advices from Paris said the new
French embargo on fresh fruit and
live plants ruined a national cam
paign to popularize Florida and
California grapefruit.
Armstrong declared the local ex-
change probably would not join in
a campaign to protest embargo,
saying it would not object to any
embargo scientifically sound"

ROUTINE
HUNT IS
KEPT UP
Lindbergh Search Settles
Down To Hum Drum
Affair AS Clues Fail.
II OPES SHATTERED
Progress Reports Are
Not Borne Out By Any
New Developments.
BY BATES RANEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


HOPEWELL, N. j.. March TO-
The laws effort to return the kid
naped Lindbergh baby to his tor
tured parents has settled down
today to the hum-drum routine
elementals of police work-in the
drab, mysterious, desolate and in
hospitable "badlands' of the Sour
land mountains.
New Jersey state police, trained
for patrol work and traffic duty,
but not trained detectives, are
seeking the kidnapers of Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, jr, among the
jackson Whites" and "Pineys," ,"
the backward hill country people.
Some of these people are de-
scendants of the Hessians who op-
posed Washington at Trenton in
Revolutionary war days. Some arc
of mixed blood-white, Negro and
Indian. All resent intrusion.
The "badlands" search, based Oil
the theory that workmen among
them built the "kidnapers ladder"
from lumber given them while on
construction jobs at the Skillman
institute for epileptics, was the one
undisputed development today.
The search started yesterday,
and gained momentum during the
day and night-a day and night in
which hopes that the toddlirg
baby would be found alive, scared
only to be shattered in a storm of
denials and later developments. 1t
was a search many felt should
have been completed long ago, but
was not, except in a most super
ficial manner.
One Of the principal bases for
hopes the baby soon would be re-
turned has been reports of direct
communications between the kid
naperS and Colonel Lindbergh.
Two letters, reported Sunday but
repeatedly denied by the United
Press, were mentioned.
The United Press denials were
based on information from unim-
peachable sources. Police were nos
consulted.
Early today, Maj. Charles II.
Schoeffel, deputy superintendent of
state police, categorically denied
any definite communication has
been received that the baby was
"alive and we'll"
He said that so far as state po-
lice knew, Colonel Lindbergh had
not been in communication with
the kidnapers.
Hopes that the innocent victim
of the kidnapping still lived and
would be returned safely to his
mothers arms, were encouraged
by these developments:
The Lindberghs appeared cheer
full and optimistic.
Gov. Harry A. Moore announced
he was convinced" the baby lived
and would be returned soon to his
parents"
Police officials repeated asser-
tion that search for the missing
baby was making progress.
