To Investigate
Scandal Charge

MADEIRA, Calf, Nov. 49, UP)-
Investigation of an alleged ''illegal
operation farm" was under way
here today as sheriff's officers sift-
ed reports that a number of young
women died following visits to the
place.
While investigating authorities
were reticent regarding their activ-
tiles, they limited that prominent
MADEIRA county residents may be
involved. No arrests have yet
been made.
The investigation was begun,
Sheriff w. c. Rhodes said, after
he had received reports that a
number of peritonitis" deaths
among young women were the re-
suit of illegal operations, alleged
ly performed at the farm. County
records disclosed that a consider
able number of women had died
from peritonitiS during the past
few years, ne said.
A prominent MADEIRA man, it was
understood, yesterday sought advice
OF counsel as to his rights in pre-
venting search OF mis- premises, af-
ter information of the sheriffs ac-
tivities leaked out.

MEXICAN ARMY PAYMASTER
MISSING WITH LARGE SUM

Major Jesus Corral Castro, 10,
paymaster for Mexican army forces
at MeXicaii, Tecate and Tijuana, is
the object of a police search cover
ing California and Baja California
today, engendercd py the suspi-
cion expressed in official circles
that Major Castro made away with
$4,000 pesos when he left Mexicali
in a supposedly stolen automobile
Thursday night.
Although Mexican military cir
cles were closed to any discussion
of the affair, teletype bulletins had
been sent from the sheriff's office
here to all other California stations
asking the apprehension of Major
Castro
An automobile of which John r.
Robertson of Ell Centre is legal
owner and Castro the registered
owner is believed to have been
used by Major Castro when he
assertedly fled north into the Uni

HINDU SHOT
BY F|L|P|MOS

Murder, with robbery as its
motive, claimed the life of one
Hindu and may account for
another this afternoon, while
sheriff's deputies were speed
ing their forces throughout the
north end in a search for three
Filipinos who attacked the
Hindus in order to obtain pay
roll money drawn from a Cal
ipatria bank earlier in the
day.
Information was received at
the sheriff's office late this af-
ternOon relative to the slay-
ing and robbery. The names of
the Hindus and Filipin0s were
not yet known, nor did Off
GERS know the amount of money
taken by the Filipinos.
1t was first reported that the
three FilipinOs had beaten
one Hindu i'm the head and
thrown him from the car, be-
lieving him dead. 1t was be-
lieved they had kidnapped the
other Hindu.
Another report, received a
few minutes later from the
Glastonbury ranch eight miles
northeast of Calipatria was
that the body of the second
Hindu, shot with a .32 calibre
revolver, had been found in
the abandoned automobile.
The Filipinos had accOmpan-
led the Hindus to a bank at
Calipatria to obtain money
with which they and other
laborers were to be paid off.
While returning to the ranch,
they staged the robbery and
and murder, apparently plan
ned among themselves at some
prior time.
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke
took charge of the hunt, with
the sheriff's force sending al
most its full strength into the
investigation.

son, mother of Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson- Hutton, today dismissed
her suits for divorce, and $780,
600 slander damages action filed
against her husband, Guy Edward
(What at-a-man) Hudson.
Mrs. Hudson's attorney, Marion
P. Betty, said that action of the
evangelist in dismissing the actions
would not prejudice her in filing
new suits at later time should
Hudson decide to return to the
jurisdiction of California courts.
THE slander and divorce ac-
tions were dismissed" the attorney
declared, because Hudson is not
within the jurisdiction of the Los
Angeles courts and because Mrs.
Kennedy Hudson does not wish TO
give any further publicity to
now almost-forgotten man.
There can be no practicable OBJ
iect in obtaining a Judgment
against a man who has nothing
and so we have decided to dis
miss the actions"

DANGER SPOT
To Be FIXED

Immediate action is being taken
to lessen the danger OF accidents
on the curve below Boulder Park
on the Imperial Vailey-San Diego
highway, according to S. v. Cortel-
you, district engineer of the state
division of highways for that sector
of road, who called at the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce yes
terday. Robert Hays, manager OF
the local chamber, has been IN
correspondence with Courtelyou
concerning this dangerous curve,
where the new pavement meets the
old. A number of accidents, one
resulting in a fatality, have oc-
cured within the past few weeks,
Cortelyou stated that he has had
two signs erected at the top OF
Mountain Springs Pass, just west
of this dangerous curve, each four
by eight feet and one with a red
bulls eye. Two more signs OF the
same size and reflector type are
being prepared and will be erect%
Immediately. "These signs shou.l
be sufficient warning to motorists" p"
the engineer stated, that they
are approaching grades and curves
However, we find that many driv-
ers do not observe warning signs
and, for that reason, I have ap-
piled for funds to build up the
outside of this curve and cut out
the inside and put in a Is foot
shoulder, in order that motorists
who take the curve at too high
speed will have an opportunity to
get control of their cars when they
find they are at the top of Noun
tain Springs pass. These changes
will be made as soon as the funds
are available"
Engineer Cortelyou stated that
he knew nothing of the accidents
On this curve until the Ell Centro
chamber took the matter up with
him, as no report had been made
to him previous to that time. He
Immediately sent the resident en-
gineer to investigate the curve and
Yesterday, at his first opportunity,
drove over Highway 80. personally
to Ell Centro to see what could be
done to eliminate danger of &C
cidents at this point.
Imperial Valley press., 1932-11-19

ly thereafter the sheriff's office was
informed that Major Castro had
driven across the international line
in the automobile, and that he had
14,O00 pesos in his possession.
Suspicion was not aroused in
Mexican army quarters until Major
Castro failed to report from either
Tecate or Tijuana, and when it
was found that he had not follow
ed out his 28-year old custom of
paying Mexicali troops. 1t was ex-
planned that it was the paymaster's
custom to drive to Tecate and IT.
juana with large sums Of money.
It was learned "a 1,:exicaii today
that a new man already is on the
way to take Major Castro's place.
With the arrival of the new officer,
army figures will be checked thor
oughly to determine the exact
amount of the loss to military
funds. The Mexican peso is WORTH
about one-third of the American
dollar.
The automobile in which Major
Castro left Mexicali is black
Buick sedan, 1880 model. 1t has
yellow wire wheels and carries a
California license, 5A3359, and a
Mexican license, 3440.
Many difficulties will impose
themselves in the way of Major
Castro's escape. One of the major
obstacles 10 him is the weight Of the
silver money in his possession,
amounting to 875 pounds. Another
difficulty will be changing the
Mexican money, or any large sum
of it, into American currency if he
hopes to remain in the United
States. His return to Mexico will
be blocked all along the border.
The automobile, unless he aban-
dons it, also may prove embarras-
sing.

NEVADA SEEKS
BRANCH BANKS

RENO. New, Nov. 19.-(U.P)-Gov-
ernor Fred B. Balzar received a
request today asking him to call
a special session of the Nevada
legislature to enact law legaliz-
ing branc.t banking to facilitate re-
organization of the IL closed Wing
field banks.
This me,.lod was agreed upon by
committees representing the closed
banks after representatives OF the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton yesterday declined to recon-
mend an additional $2,000,000 loan
to the Wingfield banks.
The banks, controlled by George
Wingfield, financial and political
leader of Nevada, are at present op-
Grated as independent institutions
They were closed early this month
when the state declared a 3O-day
banking holiday, which permitted
all of the states 25 banks to close
if they desired.
Under the reorganization plan,
depositors in the Wingfield banks
would waive 40 per cent of their
deposits. with the money to be car
ried in a special trust fund to pro-
vide capital for the new bank. They
would be permitted to Withdraw
the remaining so per cent under 4
time limit agreement.
"Depositors face an out-and-out
loss of $3,OOO,OOO," George B. That
cher. attorney for the banks, said.

STATE ALSO
HAS DEFICIT

SACRAMENTO Nov. 10. U.P)-
Revealing the state general fund
is already $11, 100000 "in the red"
Ray L. Riley, state controller, to-
DAY issued report predicting the
deficit will increase rapidly until
August, 1888"
On November l, cash on hand,
anticipated revenues, plus bond
accounts to be credited the general
fund, totaled $40, 10000, while OBJ
legations against sum after taking
into account all possible savings
to June 80, 1888, amount to $52,-
100000, according to Riley's re-
port.
THE general fund cash deficit
will increase rapidly until August,
1888, when the first installment of
public utility taxes will be re-
ceived," the controller said.
School appropriations at that
time will require substantially the
entire revenue paid by the util-
tiles. Therefore, we may expect a
cash shortage as of August 30,
1888, of $12,OO0,00O or more.
Revenue for the next biennial
period will not greatly exceed the
revenues of 1923-24, namely $92,-
100000, indicating fixed charges
will require practically all of the
net revenues for the next biennial

.CLA|M INDIAN
SLAYER INSANE

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19.-(U.Pl-
An insanity complaint was to be
filed late today against Ambrose
Brown, Yuma Indian, who assert
edly slew his four-year-old daugh-
ter, Annabelle, on the Yuma Indian
reservation several weeks ago when
he feared she was to be taken from
him.
Brown has been receiving treat
ment in a hospital following his
attempted suicide after the slay-
ing. Alienists there pronounced
him insane.
The Indians asserted insanity is
thought to be the result of brood
ing over rumors, passed on to him
by other Indians that the Indian
agent, H. B. Jolley, and group of
Cocopah Indians were going to take
his daughter from him.
Brown, although a member Of the
Yuma tribe, had married a Coco
pah squaw. Following her death
about a year ago, members of her
tribe began agitation to take the
child to the Cocopah reservation
in Arizona.
An axe was used by Brown in
doing away with his daughter. He
killed her, then turned the instru-
ment on himself in an attempt at
suicide. This was frustrated by the
presence of other Indians, and he
was taken to the reservation nospi-
tai on Indian Hill, overlooking the
Colorado river, where the alien
lists visited him.

SALTON SEA
BASS SUCCESS
Continued On Page 81

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10. U.P1-
California sportsmen today faced
the prospect of open seasons for
wild sheep and golden pheasants,
following consideration of such leg
islation at a meeting of the Cali
fornia fish and game commission
here.
A ban on commercial fishing for
striped bass, closing of the Kla-
math and Smith rivers to netting
of salmon for canneries, and
law to prohibit anyone but resi-
dents of California from catching
sardines for reduction purposes,
also were proposed.
1t was reported there are 5000
wild sheep in the Modoc, Inyo and
San Bernardino mountain districts.
A short open season with high
license, was suggested as a means
of providing sportsmen with an
opportunity to participate in this
difficult type of hunting.
The golden pheasant population
of California, due to many years
of protection and breeding in the
Yountville and China farms, was
reported to be about 100000. The
commission disclosed that 10000
were on the two preserves this
year.
The striped bass legislation was
proposed because these maritime
game fish are fast being reduced
through commercial catches.
Experimental planting of the
bass, which reach a weight of so
to rs pounds, made three years ago
in Salton Sea, has proven success
full, it was reported.

DEFICIT WILL
GIVE TROUBLE
To CONGRESS
Means Of Raising Taxes And
Cutting Expenses Must Be
Decided Upon.
REVENUES FALLING SHORT
Few Of Tax Producing Levies
Raising Sufficient Amounts As
Anticipated.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

Dy hA III MOND OLAfBEh
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-The
headway which is being made to-
ward $4,000, 100000 deficit for the
current fiscal year raises the pros
pect of another winter of agonized
laboring to cut federal expenses and
raise taxes.
Government outgo is running
ahead of income at the rate OF
about $4,000 a minute.
This is regarded by many here
as the most serious fact in the
Washington picture. Compared with
this prospective addition to the al
ready staggering overhead of debt,
the question of whether foreign
governments pay some $250,000,00o
year or what is to be done about
beer become minor matters in the
opinion of many. Last year $2,200,-
100000 or more was added to the
public debt.
While the administration is work
ing on proposed economies in the
new budget, members of the house
and senate are considering what
can be done about taxes. After la
boring in great pain to pass the
tax increase bill in the last session,
congress now returns to find it
failed in fulfillment
Many members are leaning to the
conclusion that a general manu-
facturers' sales tax will be inescap-
| able. Even lifetime opponents
of the sales tax such as Rep. Rain
ey, Democratic leader of the house,
and Senator George, Dem, Ca,
are turning to this view.
Changes Opinion
II have been a lifelong opponent
of federal sales tax" George told
the United Press, But must con-
fess that if the sales tax were lin
tied to purely emergency purposes
my primary objections would be
largely removed"
While the yield of the income
taxes adopted last session remains
to be seen in March, returns from
the special excise levies are falling
short of estimates. The telephone
telegraph and radio message tax
is bringing in about half of what
was expected.
The check tax is yielding less
than half of what was anticipated.
Gasoline taxes should have yielded
$48,O00,000 by now but they have
produced s35 100000. Electric ener-
gy taxes would have produced $14,-
100000 had they come up to ex-
pectations. But they have yielded
81, 100000.
Most disappointing of all is the
tax on brewers wort, malt and
grape concentrates. 1t was sched-
uled to have produced $27 ,332, 900 by
now. Actually it has brought in ST.
053,000.
