EX-Husband To
Have Receiver

BUTTE, Mont, March "a. (U.P)-
A certain Butte ex-husband is 60
ing into the hands of a receiver if
his former wife is successful in her
attempt to approach the alimony
problem from a new angle.
Receivers have been appointed
for defunct firms, but it remained
for Mrs. Margaret Brunick to ask
the district court to appoint a re-
ceiver for her former husband.
Twice, Mrs. Brunick told the
court, she has cited Brunick into
court for failure to pay alimony.
She told the court that she did
not think it would be advisable to
have her ex-husband made a men,
ber of the "alimony club" as Jail
confinement wouldn't solve her
problem.
She asked instead that a receiv-
er be named to take full charge
of her husbands property, receive
his wages and administer his affairs
to the extent that alimony is paid
regularly.

CHINESE URGE
PUNITIVE FORCE
IN MANCHURIA

NANKING, China, March "a. U.P)
China Nationalist leaders in the
Manchurian province of Heilung-
kiang today called upon the nation
al government to send a punitive
expedition at once against the rebel
regime in Manchuria.
Kuomintang (national party) pro-
vincial headquarters telegraphed
the government that most of the
Chinese commanders in Heilung-
kiang were ready to revolt against
Gen. Ma Chan-Shan, military lead
er who recently became identified
with the japanese.
The message pointed out that the
presence of the League of Naions
Manchurian commission in Shang-
hal offered an opportune moment
to attack. Heilungkiang loyalists
claimed that if japanese interfered
in the Chinese operations, the COM
mission would have concrete evil
dence that Japan was responsible
for the rebel government.
The government was set up re-
Gently at Chunchow with Henry
Pu-Yi, former hoy emperor of
China" as president. Japanese
had much to do with drafting a
constitution, and their troops are
in control of the entire region.

FORMER CONVICT
FOUND GUILTY in
EXTORTION PLOT

SAN DIEGO, March "a. U.P)-
Howard j. Abbey, former San
Quentin convict, faced another term
in the state prison today for at
tempting to extort money from
James N. Crofton, president and
general manager of the Aqua Cali
ente jockey club.
Abbey was found guilty of the at
tempted extortion charge by jury
in superior court here late yester-
day. He was also found guilty of
illegal possession of firearms.
On the witness stand in his own
defense Abbey denied any knowl-
edge of the extortion attempt and
said he met Crofton in the Santa
Fe station here at the request of
some other men who told him Crof-
ton would deliver pint of whiskey
to him.
He started talking about money
and I thought he was crazy" Alb
bey testified.
The state contended, however,
that Abbey was the man who wrote
Crofton a letter threatening Crof-
tons life unless he delivered $500.
Handwriting experts said the writ
ing in the threatening letter and
Abbey's signature on the county
Jail records were the same.
Crofton, in his testimony, said
he had received several threaten
ing letters since Abbey's arrest in
Los Angeles.

National guard trucks and volun-

bama today, where thousands of
homeless are in need of immediate

nado.
The search for parents of the
child-found in a lonely field far
away from any house-a few hours
after the storm blasted this sec
tion, had been underway since the
waif was brought to hospital here
late Monday.
Hundreds of storm refugees
many of them parents unable to
find missing children-had passed
by the cot where the baby lay.
Each however went away. The
child was not theirs.
The baby girl-not at first con-
sidered to have suffered from ex-
posure-was reported today as SER
iously i'll with pneumonia.
The separation of the Buffers
was typical of hundreds of other
pitiful episodes OF the storm, which
took more than 800 lives in the
five southern states where it
struck.
The Buffers were seriously in
injured. Each is in a separate
hospital. In addition to the baby,
they had three other children. One
died from injuries in Birming-
ham hospital yesterday. Another
was killed outright in the storm.
Only one went through the disaster
unscatEed.
A distant cousin of Floyd Butler
identified the little girl, who had
delighted all with her chuckling
good nature.
No one knows how the child
came to be alone in the field where
she was found by an ambulance
/ driver. 1t is miles from her par
entS' home near Union Grove.

explanation anyone could give.
The hours of lying in that field
as the wind howled and the ram
beat down on her unprotected
body brought on the attack Of
pneumonia. A few cuts and bruises

Failing in repeated attempts to

from the coaches, subway officials
acceeded to the utimatum rather
than further disrupt service.
Armed with baseball bats, the
strikers succeeded in defying police

States Will Sell
Colony Lands

SACRAMENTO, March "a. U.P)
The state is prepared to sell to
private interests its share in the
Durham and Delhi Land colonies.
This was the statement today of
ROLAND A. Andegrift, state direc-
tor of finance. 1t marks the final
chapter of an unsuccessful 15-year
experiment in fostering land COL
onization.
The state holds 81 first deeds Of
trust on Delhi lands, of which 40
per cent are delinquent, and 46
first deeds at Durham, with II per
cent delinquent.
At the time the department of
finance took over the land colonies,
involving 1000 acres of land in
Butte and Merced counties, in 1881,
the state had written off $780,
900 on its investment.
Pending possible disposal of the
land, the colonies are to be admin
istered by methods similar to those
employed by private corporation,

HOPEWELL, N. j., March "a. (U.H
Two underworld characters, called
"kidnapers" by police, were sought
today as police continued their ef-
forts to find some clew to the kid
naping of Baby Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, jr.
Able Wagner, known in New
York underworld circles, and Harry
Fleischer, former member Of the
Detroit Purple Gang" are the two
men police announced they wanted
to question. Neither has been seen
for several weeks and raids at var
ious places they were reported to
be, have been futile.
According to the morning police
statement by Col. H. Norman
Schwartzkopf, Wagner was seen
about the central part of New Jer-
sey shortly before the kidnapping.
Since then he has not been seen
and his actions at the time of the
kidnapping have not been reported.
The police statement added that
unsubStantiated reports reaching
them were that Wagner and Feis-
cher were associated now.
Meanwhile though hundreds of
other reports and vague tips are
being checked, none has developed
anything worthwhile in the attempt
to find the curly haired child stol-
en- from its crib in the Lindbergh
estate on March l.
Although police have said he had
no information of value, H. Wallace

Mills Declares
Conditions Good

WASHINGTON, March "a. (U.PS--
Secretary of the Treasury Mills
said today that statistics collected
by his department indicated
definite trend toward strengthened
financial and economic conditions
in the United States.
While warning against interpre-
tation of his remarks as a predic-
ton of booming business in the
near future, Mills said the depart
ment's figures were definitely en-
couraging.
Saying he wanted to let the fig
uges speak for themselves, Mills
called attention to a decrease OF
S157 100000 during the last six
weeks in money in circulation.
This decrease allows for all sea-
sonal changes and can be regarded
as virtually a decrease of thai
amount in boarding.
