LEAGUE REPORT
OPPOSES JAPAN
in MANCHUKUO

TOXIC, Sept. g.. U.P) = The
League of Nations Manchurian
commission admits that return of
the former status of Manchuria is
impossible and suggests the crea-
ton of a separate, demilitarized
government with China retaining
nominal sovereignty, official quar-
ters here understood today.
A government spokesman said
impending recognition of the Man
chukuo government by Japan made
retention of Chinese sovereignty
impossible. He said Japan prob
ably would not accept most of the
commissions conclusions.
1t was understood that the COM
mission, headed by Lord Lytton of
England, rejected the possibility of
Japanese annexation of the Man
churian territory or establishment
of a protectorate over Manchukuo.
The commission was understood not
to oppose japanese advisors.
Other recommendations were
understood to include a national
Manchukuo police with foreign Of
ficerS; insiStence on maintenance
of the open door policy and equal
opportunity for all nations in trade
with Manchuria; direct negotia-
tions between China, Japan and
Manchukuo with League of Ma

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-An un-
precedented nationwide hunt was
under way today for Col. Raymond
Robins, colorful campaigning cru
sader for peace, prohibition and
political purity believed kidnapped
and murdered while enroute to visit
the President of the United States.
The secret service and police
were cooperating in the hunt. No
trace of him has been found.
The man who helped Theodore
Roosevelt lead the Bull Moosers in
their futile 1912 campaign, vanished
here Saturday after checking out
of the City club. He had told
friends he was going to see his old
friend, President Hoover, whose re-
election he was urging. The ap-
pointment was for Tuesday at the
White House.
The vigorous, bitter, 59-year-old
campaigner against all that he be-
lieved was wrong in the nations
political and moral life, had re-
ceived hundreds of threats against
his life. He received some only a
month ago. He laughed them off.
Mrs. Robins said that the per-
sistence of the threats had led the
colonel lately to prepare for dis

DISTRICT
EXPENSE
EXPOSED
Grand Jury Report Says
System OF Accounting
Extremely Lax
TO COMPLETE AUDIT
Comment Withheld Until
Final Report Presented
To Court.

Blasting what it terms the ex-
treme laxity of the Imperial Irri-
cation District in disbursing large
sums of money to its officials and
employees in the face of an almost
unbelievable" absence of any docu-
ment to substantiate the distribu-
ton of the money, a special audit
report of district expenses, incor-
porated in and made part of a
preliminary report of the 1881 coun-
ty grand jury, was submitted to
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson by that
body late yesterday afternoon.
Thirteen members of the grand
jury were present when the report
was filed. Subsequent to receiv-
ing the report, Judge Thompson
asked that the grand jury complete
its work as soon as possible in or
der to make way for the 1928
grand jury, which will be selected
October and which will be requir-
ed to consider proposed legislation
and possibly make recommends
tions to the state legislature.
No comment was forthcoming
yesterday afternoon on the contents
of the grand jury's preliminary re-
port, and the audit on which it was
based This audit was prepared by
A. D. Macleod and company, pub
lie accountants and auditors. The
grand jury report accompanying
the -udit merely stated that COM
ment on the facts disclosed will be
withheld until the final report of
the investigating body is submit
ted. 1t was intimated 1t is highly
probable that the final report will
carry several recommendations
based on the special audit.
The audit covers the period be-
tween January 1, 1928, and June
| 80, 1882. 1t does not cover all the
books, records and accounts of the
district, but is limited to an exam
ination of warrants issued to indi-
viduals for special fees, and the re-
endorsement of expenses incurred
by these individuals while upon
district business.
Largely comprised of tables show
ing itemized reports of expenses
and salaries, the audit opens with
a statement by the auditor to the
grand jury, which was adopted by
that body as its own statement.
Cites Irregularities
This statement, in part, said that
"as a result of my investigation I
report to your honorable body that
the handling of the irrigation funds
in respect to the particular items
examined by me was lax in ex-
treme. With practically no excep-
ton none of these demands is
supported by any evidence of any
kind whatsoever that the disburse-
ment was actually made on behalf
of the district, or that it was in
! fact made at all.

Hindu Samaritan
Gets 1t In Neck

Lob Singh played his role in the
Hindu version of a good Samaritan,
but his reward was neither here nor
there and Singh was swearing to-
day that vengeance shall be his
if he ever sights those two be-
nighted Americans who stole his
mules and harness.
The wayfarers came to Singh on
the Post ranch, seven miles north
west of Calipatria this morning with
a story that their truck was stuck
nearby. They wanted to borrow
SinghS two mules to pull the truck
out, they said.
So Singh loaned the men the
mules, and watched them disappear
down the road. That was the last
he saw of the mules, for the sup
posedly unfortunates loaded the
mules on the supposedly stuck
truck, and drove Off.
Singh told Bill O'Brien, Brawley
constable, and O'Brien told the
sheriff's office here. All points
guarding the entrance or exit to
Imperial Valley were. notified, and
officers now are awaiting results.

TRUCK DRIVER
DIES IN CRASH
ON YUMA ROAD
Raymond Graves Of Phoe-
nix Drives Heavy Load
Into Parked Vehicle.

What a coroner's jury described
as an unavoidable accident caused
by the negligence of Raymond
Graves, 80, at II o'clock last night
caused Graves death when his
truck crashed into the rear of an
other truck, driven by F. B. Wof-
ford, on the Yuma highway, nine
miles east of Holtville.
Graves, who lived at Phoenix,
route 8, box SAG, was killed in
stantly when the Impact forced a
load of sweet potatoes on his truck
forward against the rear of Wof-
ford's truck and trailer, loaded
with IA tons of green hides
Graves was caught between the
two, and crushed.
Wofford, whose address is 1850
South Ditman street, Los Angeles
was exonerated of all blame when
the coroner's jury this morning
found Graves negligence caused
the accident.
Wofford had stopped his truck
and trailer to repair flat tire on
the rear of the trailer, and had not
yet fixed the jack in place when
Graves truck crashed into his. Be-
cause sand beside the highway
would make it impossible to pull
off, Wofford had stopped on the
road but his lights were burning.
He left his truck in low gear.
The high speed at which Graves
was travelling was shown from the
fact that the crash moved Wof-
ford's truck 81 feet ahead, in spite
of the fact it was in low gear and
weighed, with its load, approxi-
mately $4,000 ounds. Graves truck
weighed about 6000 pounds, with
its load.
Has Close Call
Wofford was standing beside the
cab of his truck when the collision
came. Within three minutes he
would have been under the rear of
the trailer, jacking up the axle.
Both trucks were headed west.
IL u WCdVllCl VIC anu du1 olOWllj
state traffic officers who investi-
gated the accident, expressed the
opinion today that Graves was
asleep at the wheel and failed to
see the other truck stopped on the
highway. The first officials at the
scene of the wreck, Coroner A. R.
Underwood and Fred Elliott
deputy sheriff, agreed in this
opinion. The traffic officers
pointed out that the front wheels
of Graves truck had not been
turned from a straight line. The
least turn would have caused the
wheels to buckle at the impact,
they said
Graves badly mutilated body
was brought to Lemons undertak-
ing establishment here. Efforts to
locate relatives were being made
today.

PLOTTING DEATH

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9. U.P)-
The San Francisco Examiner said
today in a copyright story that po-
lice knew of the plot to murder
Mrs. Jessie Scott Hughes, nine
months before her broken body was
found in gutter near her home.
Frank j. Egan, ousted public de-
fender of San Francisco, and Albert
Tinnin, ex-convict friend of Egan,
are scheduled to be sentenced to
life imprisonment tomorrow for the
elderly widows murder. They were
convicted by superior court jury
of the crime Tuesday.
More than nine months before
Mrs. Hughes was murdered, police
listening on dictagraph, heard
Frank Egan plot the murder" the
newspaper said it had learned.
"The microphone was in the Of
flee of DR.. N. S. Housman, Egan's
friend, three blocks away from the
listening police
The article said the dictagraph
had been instai.ed by police in an
effort to solve the gangster mur-
der of Earl Letter. Letter had been
treated by DR.. Housman.
Police posted a watch over Mrs.
Hughes despite her refusal to heed
their warnings. But it was i'm
possible to maintain such a guard
"a hours day for nine months" :"
the newspaper said
The dictagraph evidence was not
used at the trial of Egan and Tin
min, the article said, because the
prosecution felt it was not needed.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 9. AS
Jean Harlow, glamorous platinum
blonde screen star, prepared today
to attend the funeral of her hus-
band, Paul Bern, the mystery of
his suicide was overShadowed by
the even deeper mystery of his past
life-and of the women, who were
part of it.

executive husband as she kissed him

the chancel of a cemetery chapel
her famous hair hidden beneath
dark wells, her languorous body clad
in widows weeds.
She was to bid farewell to the
man nobody knew, though he
was her husband and the Little
Confessor of Hollywood"
The mystery of his past life deep
ened today. Hollywood was tense
with rumors concerning his life and
the women who were reported to
have been his before the ceremony
which united him with Miss Har-
low.
Coupled with this was the sud-
den, unexplained silence of Henry
Bern, younger brother of the bril-
liant film executive, who had
flown here to tear the veil of mys-
terry from his brothers death. AL
though Bern had promised state
ment Wednesday night.
