Richard V. Oulahan.
(New York Times.)


 With deep regret and keen sense of public as well as personal loss, The Times records the death of the able journalist and courteous gentleman who has been it's chief correspondent in Washington since 1912. For more than forty years Richard Victor Ouahan chroniced and interpreted for lead- ling newspapers and strengthening organizations the work of American statesmen and public officials at the National Capital. In recent years his name and fame had spread nationwide, that he had become accepted representing all that is best in Washington journalism. Where Oulahan sits, there lis the head of the table," admiring colleague wrote of him only few weeks ago.
 Eight Presidents of the United States, from Benjamin Harrison onward, gave him their confid- ence. To him there came in time the recognition which his long successful Washington cor respondent merted. Sympathetic and kindly, of a distinguished personality notable in any gathering, 1t became the pleasure of his fellow craftsmen to have him represent them whenever the Press as a cor iporate entity was called upto act He was chair man of the Standing Committee of Congressional Correspondents, and his counsel was sought even beyond the circle of his journalistic colleagues.
 Assignments which took him out of Washington brought him into contact with greater world. In 1905 he headed the staff of The Morning Sun which reported the Russo-Japanese Peace Conference at Portsmouth. similar mission for The New York Times in 1914 took him to the American Mexican Peace Conference at Niagara Falls. For The Times he again went abroad in 19l8 at the head of large lstaff to report the Paris Peace Conference. Five years later he undertook another notable duty that of going the Philippines, this time alone to obtain from Governor General Wood and his son the facts regarding the transfer by the latter of large sums of money which had mystified the inner financial world
 Whatever he undertook he did well. Modest, thorough and efficient, he lived full life His Irish ancestry bestowed upon him the gift Of face and graceful expression. His thirst for exact ln- formation and his ndefatigabe industry in obtain ing it from original sources rounded out jornais- tic equipment unusually complete.

It is possible that the $1,030,000 the Democratic National Committee expended in 1881 had some thing to do with those victories that gave the House and all those States which held elections in 1881 to the Democrats. It enabled them to keep speakers on the stump and present the posi- ton of their party to the voters.

irene DUNN'S
ACTING FEATURE
OF BACK STREET

One of the best stories and some
of the finest acting seen in 81
Centre in a long time, is the verdict
of many who saw Back Street at
Fox Imperial airdome last night.
Written by Fannie Hurst, Back
Street" deals with love affair be-
tween a woman and married man.
The woman. at the start OF her
romance. sacrifices her own future
for the love of her younger sister.
Losing her sweetheart, she remains
in love with him, and when tate
throws them together again in later
years their romance is renewed
clandestinely.
Irene Dunno has the role of the
woman and seldom has any actress
given a finer Interpretation OF a
difficult role. Why Miss Dunno is
not better known to screen follow
ers is mystery for her acting far
surpasses that of many who are
more highly publicized.
John Boles is the man and Is on
par with Miss Dunno, the latter,
however, is the outstanding char
acter in the cast, which also in
cludes Zasu Pitts, William Bake
well, Doris Lloyd, Paul Wiegel,
Walter Catlett and Robert McWade.
The photography and direction
are as superb as the acting. Par
ticularly interesting are the old
time scenes in Cincinnati. Horse
cars, handsome cabs, the early au-
tomobile and mems and womens
STYLES are faithfully reproduced.
Back Street" is a real picture.

Tourists Strip
Wrecked Auto

After an accident Wednesday
morning II miles south of Oasis
there still was enough left to make
his car worth salvaging, but after
it had been left overnight there
was hardly enough left to make it
recognizable, Simon De Maggie,
3l80 Evergreen avenue, South Gate,
told deputy sheriffs last night.
De Maggie left the automobile
beside the highway after the acci-
dent, returning yesterday to have
it towed to a garage Upon his
return, he said, he found that ev-
erything that could be removed
had been stripped from the car, in
cluding tires, cushions and the
radiator cap.
No details of the accident were
given. The theory was advanced
that tourists had stripped the
wrecked automobile.

POLITICAL PARTIES HOLD STATE
CONVENTIONS AT CAPITOL TO-DAY

! is now on a speaking tour II behalf
of the Democratic ticket.
Another prominent Democrat
/ scheduled to address the convention
was Mayor James Curley of Bos-
/ ton. Mass. also on a stumping tour
for the Roosevelt-Garner ticket.
The primary work before the
state conventions was to adopt a
party platform, name the - cleo
tors who will cast the vote for the
party'S presidential choice, and ap-
point members to the state central
committee which meets here Sep
tember "a.
The only possibility of a debate
in any of the conventions was over
the prohibition plank to be adopted
by the Republicans. party leaders
predicted. Senator Tallant Tubbs
of San Francisco, candidate for u.
S. senate, was ready TO battle for
a platform proposing outright re-
peal of the 18th amendment and
modification to permit light wines
and beer.
More conservative party leaders.
however, were inclined to follow the
plank adopted at the national con-
vention of the party rather than
provoke a row over the wet and
dry question.
Congressman Harry L. Engle-
bright of Nevada City was assured
of election as chairman of the Re-
publican convention. However,
battle is slated when the Repub-
lican central committee, to be
named today, meets in Sacramento
September "a.
Mayer Chairman
Both Louis B. Mayer of Holly
wood and Colonel Eric Fowler of
Los Angeles, former chairman of
the Los Angeles county central
committee, may seek the chair
of the state central COM
mittee unless they reach an agree
ment before the meeting is held, it
was forecast in some circles.
The chairmanship, under the law,
between northern and
Southern California, and this year
it is the South'S turn. Governor
Rolph is known to favor Mayer for
the position, and has announced he
will place Mayer in nomination.
In the Democratic ranks, Frank
H. Buck, congressional candidate
from the third district, was favor
ed for chairman of the conven-
ton.
Prospects of a battle by the Bour-
bons over organization of the new
state central committee to succeed
DR.. 2. T. Malaby of Pasadena, Nc
Adoo said.
Considerable interest was center
ed on the prohibition party con-
vention on account of the nomina-
ton of the Rev. Robert P. Fight
ing Bob Shuler as candidate for
q. S. senator.

BODY OF BERN'S
MYSTERY WOMAN
FOUND IN SLOUGH

SACRAMENTO, Sept. Is. U.R)-
Mystery surrounding the suicide of
Paul Bern. film executive husband
of Jean Harlow, was still further
deepened today by the finding OF
a body believed to be that of
Dorothy Millette, asserted common
law wife of Bern.
The body was discovered in
Georgiana slough, 80 miles south
of Walnut Grove and approximately
40 miles southwest of Sacramento,
by Y. Ishino, a Japanese fisherman.
After an examination, Coroner
James R. Garlick and Deputy Sher-
iff Charles Ogle, definitely declared
that dress found on the body
matched a jacket left in the state
room of a river steamer last Tues
day. The room was rented to a
ID. Millette," who was missing when
the vessel docked.
Further identification was made
by Edward Sullivan, clerk at the
Hotel Plaza of San Francisco, who
examined the body and clothing
found in the stateroom. Although
features of the face were unrecog-
nizable, he said the clothing re-
sembled that of the woman he
knew as Dorothy Millette.
Coroner Garlick called an inquest
for Friday night, at which Sulli-
van and members of the steam
boat crew will be called to testify
In reconstructing the suicide, the
latest development following the
suicide Of Paul Bern on Monday
5, authorities here eX-
pressed the belief that Miss Mil
lette. after reading the newspapers,
hurriedly left her San Francisco
hotel the following day. She booked
passage on the Sacramento-boun
steamer.
Nervous and distraught after
boarding the vessel, she asked for
a sedative, a porter testified. Later
she went to dinner in the ship
cafe, but was unable to eat. At
$40 a. m., the Delta King ap-
preached Walnut Grove bridge,
passing Georgiana slough.
The woman slipped down the
companionway from her observa-
ton deck stateroom, dropped her
shoes and coat and leaped over the
side, authorities believed. At 4:45
a. m. the deck watchman, j. Lee,
noticed the coat and shoes, and
the ships officers.

tors. and other notes received some
time ago in the central section OF
the state. convinced authorities
that all of these notes were pre-
pared at red" headquarters at
Los Angeles. Stationery and typing
in each note are identical with the
stationery and tipping of notes re-
ceived in other sections of the
state. Crude English and a lack
of punctuation increases the re-
semblance.
Letters received at Ell Centre and
Calexico yesterday were mailed at
Brawley. Letters received at Braw-
ley were mailed at Ell Centre. 1t
is not known by officials whether
depositors in any other valley towns
received these notes.
D. H. Wolford, chief criminal
deputy district attorney, said to-
day that there is no way of de-
termining how many of these let
ters were mailed, but expressed the
belief that a great many were sent
out.
No Truth In Statement
j. Sterling Oswalt, Ell Centro
police chief, joined Wolford in a
statement that there absolutely is
no truth in the statements made
in the notes. Bank officials asked
that any depositors receiving the
letters turn them over to either
the banks or district attorneys
office.
Cooperation given by postal Of
ficials is demonstrated in the ac-
ton yesterday of the Brawley post
master. After being notified of the
letters. he discovered 13 which had
been mailed to CaleXico. These
were bundled together and sent to
the Calexico postmaster, with the
suggestion that officers be asked to
search for fingerprints on the let
ters and notes. This was being
done today.
Whether more letters will be
mailed. or whether they were
mailed all at one time, is matter
of conjecture.

A concerted effort to oust

supplant him with Police Su-
perintendent Pelham D. Glass

When the paper was estab-

ing all news but was denied that
privilege in today's issue.
Move for Successor
According to the newspaper,
leaders Of camps and areas hous-
ing the approximately $4,000 re-
gular bonus marchers and the
former executive committee, de-
posed by Waters when he became
dictator, are moving to displace
him.
The newspaper charges that
Waters demanded $40 a day for
personal expenses.
The newspaper also says that
the former Marines at Camp
Marks, Anacostia, resented the
speech made by Waters at the
camp Thursday. Waters Is ac-

and in the use of fiery epithets
which characterize addresses by
the former Marine leader.
