NEW WAR GAS
DISCOVERED

PARIS, Oct. 10. W.p)-A war gas
so deadly that it's discoverer in
tends to keep it secret even from the
war office except in case of de-
fensive war was announced today
by DR.. Leonce Bert, director of the
-Ferrand Chemical Insti-
tue.
Bert said the gas was the most
formidable known. 1t was dis
covered, he said, while he and
another institute doctor were ex-
perimenting with synthetic per-
fumes.
They concocted, he said, a celery
cented fume giving liquid death
against which no gas mask, as they
are known now, or other means of
protection would be effective.
The gas attacks dry as we'll as
moist flesh, Bert said. 1t pene-
trates any sort of clothing and
produces lightning-like disinte-
grafton of body cells.
Our discovery is so horrible"
he said, that we are determined
to keep it secret and not even in
form the war office unless the
country is attacked"

HOME OWNERS
LOANS BEING
SPEEDED UP

Applications for loans from the
Home Owners Loan corporation, or
the Hole, as it is termed familiar
ly, are now being acted on with
dispatch, according to Earl G. Ryan
of San Diego, assistant district man
ager for the district comprising San
Diego and Imperial counties.
Ryan, who is making survey
of the valley with L. j. Goree jr.,
valley director, stated xhat the
Hole, starting from scratch" is
now beginning to function in good
shape and loan appli cations are
being expedited as much as pos
sible.
Thirty loans, divided equally be-
tween the Brawley, Ell Centre and
Calexico districts, have been up
proved for Imperial county.
Goree stated that 123 applica
tons, totaling $260,0o0, are now on
file from Imperial county. This
means they have been examined
tentatively, and are ready for final
and approval. Goree be-
lieves that approval will be given
to practically all Of tfem. There
ere other applications, filed directly
IN San Diego county, and more are
being accepted daily by the APP
praisers who are working through
out the county.

1--WE believe the public appre-
ciates the handicap under which
we have been laboring, and Will
be lenient with u.s." Ryan said. The
Hole had to organize right FROM
the start. None Of lis knew what
we could do or should do at the out
set and it has been necessary to
study the machinery under which
we operate before active work
Iccujd be done. TIC Set-up is now
working satisfactorily and it is our
object to receive and pass on loan
applications Just as rapidly as they
can be made and approved"

Cotton pickers in the lower San
Joaquin valley began to desert the
strike leaders and return TO work
today as agencies of three govern
ments moved for mediation of the
bloody strike over wage scales.
Representatives of the Mexican
and the United States national
governments and California state
government took steps looking to-
ward an early peace. Governor
Rolph predicted the strike would
be settled "within 48 hours"
Pressure on determined ranchers
weakened their stand against arbi-
tration, according to reports. A
special emissary of the governor in
terviewed leading growers. State
and national mediators were in the
field. Approach of rain and frost
periods threatened the harvest and
helped Cancellation moves.
Ranchers believed the strike
movement was broken by the ar
rest of several leaders, notably OF
Pat Chambers, who is in Jail at
Visalia.
Headquarters of the state high

their guard against violence. They

with bullet wound in the chest.
Mrs. Miles is known on the
screen as Frances Martin. Her
father, Oscar Martinson, said she
was summoned by Mrs. Lessert and
Bay to help settle violent quar-
rel.
"They apparently thought my
daughter might smooth things
over, although she had met them
only casually on motion picture
SETS" Martinson explained.
Arriving at Bays house, Mrs.
Miles was told by Mrs. Lessert she
was planning to kill herself, Mar
tinson related. He said his daugh-
ter left for few minutes and re-
turned in time to hear several pis-
toll shots ring out in the bedroom.

legged conspiracy had been COM
pleted. 1t had further been con-
tended that these Nevada defend
ants were not now on trial and
could not therefore be cross-ex-
amined by the defense.
In his ruling on this matter,
Judge McPherrin stated he was
convinced that the prosecution had
acted in good faith but felt that he
could not allow the testimony to
stand as it was merely hearsay.
Deny Mistrial
The defense repeated its motion
calling for ruling that the pres
ent action was a mistrial as this
testimony offered was prejudicial
to the defendants, but this motion
was denied by the court.
Elmer Head. chief prosecutor
called attention to the fact that he
had made efforts to have the Ne
vada women extradited but this had
been denied by the governor OF
that state on the grounds that he
did not believe the evidence
against these defendants strong
enough to warrant such action
Heald further said that these wo-
men had stated they would come
willingly to Ell Centre and testify
as states witnesses in this trial
but had not done so.
Heald made a demand of the de-
Tense that they produce the records
of the California Nevada Farming
company. Objections were imme-
diatsly made by defense counse
and the court made no ruling on tbs
matter, saying that II was not nec'
sssary to do so.
