Futility of the act and conviction
a bond issue would be a hardship
today had impelled the Sacramento
chamber of commerce t. refuse en-
dorsement of the SS2, 50G,000 ALI
American canal project.
The FL Centre chamber had
sought Sacramento's approval OF
the project.
Directors of the Sacramento
chamber felt endorsement of the
project would be an idle acl because
1t would bear no weight in WASH
ington. Moreover, they agreed i'm
position of bond issue en- Imperial
Valley residents would be unfair.
A strong campaign for inclusion
of the All-American canal project
in the federal public works program

HAY GROWERS
HOLD MEETING

An outline of the program to be
followed according to the agricul-
tural adjustment act was given to
a meeting of hay growers at the
court house yesterday afternoon by
Frank BeySchlag, county farm ad-
visor, while H. A. Hastain discussed
the code whichsit is hoped will be
adopted by hay growers of the
county.
A committee was appointed which
included representatives of the
producers and distributors with enc
member representing the secretary
of agriculture. To this group will
belong the responsibility and au-
thority of setting the basic price
for hay according to present de-
mand and economic conditions.
The prices of competing foodstuffs
will also be taken into consideration
in regulating this new price of hay.
1t was pointed out that ali deal
ers will have to agree to abide by
this price as set and their licenses
will be revoked should it be dis
covered that they are selling un-
der this price.
Truckmen hauling hay from the
valley are also to be considered in
the formulating of this code and
all non-responsible truckers viii be
eliminated.
1t is expected that through the
adoption of this code and the fol-
lowing out OF tine proposed program
that the market will be stabilized
and the whole hay growing industry
in the valley will be placed upon
a new and more substantial oasis.
Growers present at this meeting
showed a great deal of interest in
the plans as outlined. they are
but tentative and indefinite, Bey-
schlag said this morning, adding
that he hoped to have the plan
in its final form within a few days
so that copies could be distributed
among all the growers.

SEEKING
BAKING COSTS

In an effort to learn as ac-
curately as possible the exact cost
to the manufacturer of a loaf
Of bread, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Robert E. Lynch today
began collecting detailed data on
baking costs.
Mr.. Lynch already has received
reports from a number of local
bakers on the cost of the ingre-
dients of bread and these reports,
he says, tally closely with the
cost tabulations prepared by the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration.
The investigator now is seeking
reports on the manufacturing
cost, the cost of sale and deliv-
cry and administrative and gen.
eral expenses. With this data he
expects to mpute production
costs in order to determine if re-
cent increases in the price of
bread are justified.
Mr.. Lynch will ask bakers to
submit data for the period from
March l, until the present, in
order that he may have a COM
prehensive picture of the situa-
ton over a period of several !

Weeping Mother of Wife Held for Murder
Joins Relatives at Grave Where
VoIIeys Roar and TAPS Sound

While the widow 1anguished
in Jail accused of murder, the
bullet-torn body of Rudolph
Buccolo was buried today in
Arlington Cemetery as Marine
guard of honor paid tribute to
his World War services.
Weeping relatives formed a
little knot of mourners as a de-
tachment of Buccolo'S former
comrades carried the flag-draped
coffin through a stone-dotted
lane of buddies who had "gone
west"
Leaden skies and a chill breeze
blowing through the branches OF
fall-stripped trees heightened the
macabre aspect of the ceremony
Marines at Attention
Only the blue-a n DIV h t e
uniforms of the Marines and the
coffin draped in a brilliant Amer
ican flag lent color. to the drab
landscape.
AS the cortege approached
Buccolo's last resting place, a
detachment of eight Marines
stood at attention by the road
side. At the sharp bark of a
command, they sprang forward
to carry the body on its brief
journey of farewell to mortals.
At the grave stood a similar
detachment, out armed with mus
kets. The casket was placed upon
supports over a mound of earth,
and Chaplain Sydney K. Evans,
chief chaplain of the Navy, Solem-
ly intoned the sonorous message
Of the Lords Prayer.
3 VOlleyS Ring Out
Another command. and three
volleys rang out over the body
The Washington times., 1933-09-12

into the chill September air. A
bugler sounded the mournful wall
of TAPS" At another order, the
Marine wheeled and marched off
The ceremony was over.
Leaning heavily upon the arms
of two relatives and visibly emo
tional, Mrs. Carrie Mack, mother
of the accused wife: Mary Irene
Buccolo, was leading the group
of mourners. With her were Mrs
Buccolo'S half-brother, B. Alfred
Soper; her cousin, M. F.. Sullivan,
and aunt, Mrs. Gertrude Miller.
There were some other distant
relatives present, and little knot
of the curious.
The Marine detachment, which
was from the Washington bar,
racks, was commanded by Major
M. R. Thacher. Quartermaster
Sergt. w. T. Ramberg attended
to details.
Widow Denied Bail
Meanwhile Mrs. Buccolo was
reported much calmer at the
District Jail where she is held
without bail for Grand Jury
action. At the inquest, it vas
brought out that the motives for
the shooting were the couples
separation and "the other
woman" identified by Mrs. Mack
as Florence Gallaher, 800 block
Virginia Ave. S. w.
Mrs. Mack testified she heard
Buccolo threaten his wife a few
minutes before she heard the
six shots that ended his life in
her home, 4100 block Fifth st.
last Friday. They had been
separated about four weeks.

MYSTERY Wells
HER ABSENCE
AND RETURN
MiddIeburg Miss Victim of
Sun Stroke and Amnesia,
Family Friend Hints

With police and members Of
the family making every effort
to conceal the facts in the case,
Virginia West, 22-year-old member
of a wealthy Middleburg (VaO
family, reappeared today in
Washington. She had been
missing since Saturday.
The girl was located in a board.
ing house in the Third police
precinct after police had received
a mysterious tip" that the girl
was there.
Once she was found, the veil
Of secrecy which has marked the
case from the start was drawn
even tighter. Police announced
that she was found and would
give no further information.
In Doctors Care
At the Mayflower Hotel where
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
H. West, and her brother, Walter,
jr., had been anXiously waiting, it
was said the girl was safe.
Later it was asserted she had
been placed under a doctors care,
despite the mothers statement
that her daughter was "unharmed
and in good health"
Shortly afterward a girl closely
answering her description was
rushed through the lobby of the
hotel, weeping, into an automobile
with Virginia tags and sped away.
A friend Of the family, who also
refused to give his name, gave a
reason for the disappearance.
Amnesia Hinted
Virginia, he explained, suffered
sun stroke in Jamaica last Feb
ruary, and since then has twice
wandered away as though suffer-
ing amneSia.
The family is said to believe
that is what happened last Satur-
day when she dropped from sight
after arranging to meet a girl
friend at the Mayflower at 4
o'clock.
This does not clear up the mys-
terry, however, of the identity of
man who phoned the friend with
the cryptic message that Virginia
will be home later"
The girls father, a former Ken
lucky banker, who purchased q
large estate near Middleburg
about five years ago, came here
with his wife yesterday and went
into Seclusion at the Mayflower.

GROUP FORMED
To AID CLERKS
IN DISPUTES
Civil Service Cancellation Unit
to Act As Buffer; Move
Has Roosevelt 0. K.

Approved by President Roose-
welt, the Civil Service Commission
today announced the formation of
a conciliation committee to serve
as a buffer between employees who
feel they have been unjuStly
treated and the Government.
While the commission has no
power to extend this movement, it
is hoped the idea will be taken up
by other departments and inde-
pendent establishments.
Makeup of Committee
Under the plan, the conciliation
committee is made up Of equal
numbers of employees in super
visory positions and employees in
non-supervisory places.
The commission hopes to set up
these committees through the
Government service in Washing
ton and ultimately in the field, al
though explaining that the plan
as yet is merely in the nature of a
trial. Complainants will have the
right of appeal to the board of
appeals and review of the COM
mission, which has been in exist
ence for about three years. The
commission itself is the final court
of arbitration.
Committee Personnel
The conciliation committees
personnel consists of Ismar Ba-
ruch, chief of the personnel divi-
sion; Farrar Smith, manager of
the fourth civil service district,
and Laura L. Tracy, chief of the
clerical examination section of the
examining division, constituting
the supervisory group, and John

Sharp Gains in Business Here
Bring Praise for September
Purchase Campaign

AS representatives of one Wash.
ington industry after another are
interviewed by the Washington
Times to determine whether or
not the Buy in September" cam
paign is succeeding, it becomes in
creasingly evident that there is a
real business upswing in progress.
Up to today local druggists,
florists and book dealers have re-
ported gains in sales since the
first of this month, and most of
them give credit to the NRA and
the Buy in September" move
ment, sponsored by The Washing
ton Times and Hearst newspapers
throughout the nation.
Picture Business Up
Today Washington photogra-
pliers have been interviewed about
the matter. All say things are get
ting better. Here's what Mrs.
Hugh Preston, manager of the To-
cal branch of Bachrach, Inc, has
to say:
Business has certainly in
creased recently. When I re-
turned today from my vaca-
ton I found sales figures that
really surprised me. Yester-
day we had business that even
in normal times would have
been good"
The past few days have also
seen a rise in the sales of both
the news and portrait photo
graphic branches of Harris &
Ewing. George w. Harris, pro-
prietor, states:
1--WE have been kept very
busy. The Buy in September
campaign is a wonderful plan"
Leet'S Business Better
A pickup in customers has
been noticed since the first of
September also by Grant Leet,
proprietor of Leet Bros, COM
mercial photographers. While
speaking with Times reporter,
Leet glanced at the board Show
ing the photographs his company
would make today, and revealed
much pleasure at the amount of
business represented. He said:
"Things are looking good.
II they keep on like this, we
are going to be more than
busy. My compliments to your
Buy in September campaign!"
Buying Drive a Success
Pointing out that many people
enormously believe photography
to be a luxury, David B. Ed
monston, owner of the Edmons-
ton Studio. said that sales of
pictures are an excellent index
of how we'll people are buying.
He reported indications of new
business showed that the buying
drive is a success, and asserted.
Buying in September does
not necessarily mean paying for
the goods this month. If people
buy now on credit, and pay
later, it will have a similar ef-
feet on reemplOyment."
He added that if his business
increases just 10 per cent more,
he will have to add at least one,
and possibly two, new employees.
