ARMY FLYERS
On WARPATH'
By VINCENT MAHONEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
MARCH FIELD, Riverside, Calf,
May 8. ORA large part of the
United States army air force today
numbered over "the best-dromed
region in the world" maneuvering
in and out of more than 80 hiding
places throughout Southern Cali
fornia.
approximately $50 planes took
part in the second days maneuv-
ers Of the annual army aerial war
games. The defending air armada
included fast pursuit planes, heavy
bombers, observation and picture
taking craft and bullet-spraying at
lacking units.
Commenting on the defensive and
offensive aspects of the Los Ange-
les region from an aerial stand
point, officers pointed out that
while the region is the best equip
ped in the world for scattering and
concealing aircraft, it also is one
of the most vulnerable to attack.
The vast reserves of naval fuel at
and near Long Beach were named
as an outstanding weakness from a
defensive standpoint.
Unit commanders yesterday found
16 excellent airdromes in the area
bounded on the north by Point
Conception and on the south by
the Mexican border" These air
dromes were found capable of har-
boring an entire aerial unit. Many
supplementary fields capable of
caring for smaller units, also were
reported.
Today attacking planes were to
attempt to take possession of 16 Los
Angeles metropolitan area air.
dromes.
The air games, under the direc-
ton of Brig. Gen. Oscar Westover,
will continue for three weeks.
Virtually every known phase OF
defensive and attacking aerial war
fare will be included in the sky
drills. Navy and marine corps Of
ficers will remain at March Field
during the games in an effort to
knot more closely the three units
of Americas sky forces.

EXPECT DRIVE
ON UTILITIES

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9. W.H-
A drive for lower utility rates
throughout the state was believed
to have gained impetus today from
the state railroad commissions VIC
tory before the u S. supreme court,
ordering the Los Angeles Gas d
Electric corporation to effect reduc-
lions.
The reductions haG been ordered
two years ago but the utility had
collected the old rates pending dis
position CT their appeal through fed
eral courts. The decision returns TO
consumers S3,023,8 1926 which the COM
pany had segregated in their &C
counts during the period of litiga-
ton.
Although the Los Angeles case
applied only to gas sales, authori-
ties believe the same court ruling
could be used as cudgel TO drive
down electricity rates as well.
THE decision was distinct VIC
tory, vital to the whole system of
public utility regulations" COM
mented Clyde L. Seavy, president
of the commission. 1T supports
the commissions practice OF not
allowing utility claims of intangible
going concern value as a part OF
valuation bases upon which rates
are calculated.
This means a utility has no
right TO charge customers for re-
turn on 'overheads' which have he
come a part OF the uitilitys prop
erty at the expense OF the con-
sumner"

PLOT Fooled
Authorities Permit Pair To
Garry Out Plans And Then
Spring Trap.

FREEPORT, ILL.,, May 9. W.H-
A plot to kidnap wealthy manu-
facturer came to a swift conclusion
here today with the abduction, cap
ture of two suspects and their con-
fession all within a period of si';
hours.
Authorities had been warned of
the plot several days ago and had
kept the victim, William Trevillian,
GO, president of the w. T. Raw
leigh Medicine company, under cors-
slant surveillance. They permitted
the kidnapers to carry out their
plot, and then quickly raided their
hideout, freed Trevillian and made
the arrests.
Laverne Moore, 81, an employee
at the Rawleigh plant, and William
Stubbe, 81, who lives on farm
near Curband, ILL.,, confessed the
kidnapping, according to United
States Commissioner T. E. White,
of Chicago. White engineered tho
counter kidnapping plans.
The abduction plot was revealed
by two brothers, Red" and Jack
Schultz, both of La Sale, former
undercover men for Sheriff E. j.
Welter of La Sale county.
Moore approached them several
days ago and urged them to parti-
cipate in the kidnapping. They in
formed Sheriff Welter, who called
in Commissioner White.
White brought more than dozen
federal agents to the scene and di-
rected the Schultz brothers to work
with the kidnapers. He advised
both Trevillian and his wife of the
plot. Trevillian went about his work
daily while several agents kept
watch from a distance.
Admit Plot
AS Trevillian left his office last
night, the Schultz brothers carried
out Moore's orders and seized Ire
william. They had been ordered to
take the victim to Stubbe's farm.
Halfway there Moore and Stubbe
met the Schultz brothers and the
victim. Stubbe went with one of
the brothers and took Trevillian to
an abandoned barn. Moore and
the other Schultz brother returned
to Freeport.
Still carrying out Moore's orders.
RED" Schultz took $4,000 rar-
som note to Mrs. Trevillian and
then notified White.
A dozen armed federal agents
went to the Stubbe farm, arrested
Stubbe and freed Trevillian. Three
hours after the abduction he was
back at his home.
The agents then arrested Moore.
Both ne and Stubbe readily admit
ted the plot, White said.

TARIFF TRUCE
PROPOSAL To
De ACCEPTED

Prime Minister Macdonald
Gives Statement To Personal
Envoy OF President.

BY w. G. QUISENBERRY
United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, May 9.-Great Brit
ain accepted today the United
States proposal for tariff truce
until the opening of the world ec-
onomic conference.
The acceptance was communicate
ed to Norman H. Davis, President
Roosevelt's personal ambassador to
Europe, in the house of commons,
just before an important speech
on foreign affairs by Prime Minis
ter j. Ramsay Macdonald. Mac
Donald, Sir John Simon, foreign
secretary, and Walter Runciman,
president of the board of trade,
jointly conferred with Davis before
the session.
After the consulstation, 1t was
authoritatively stated:
1.-THE last obstacle to British
adoption of the economic armistice
recommendation has been removed.
Final agreement is subject only to
minor alterations in the wording
of the United States draft"
The eight governments belong
ing to the organization committee
of the world economic conference
were expected almost Immediately
to recommend abstention from him
ORANGES to trade pending conven-
ing of the conference.
Shortly after this development,
Macdonald, in addressing the house
said There is every prospect Of
reaching an agreement between us
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of an i'm
mediate truce"
At the same time he warned that
the debt difficulty must be re-
moved at once, before the world
economic conference opens, or the
conference is doomed to failure.
Urges Silence
His double edged statement was
interpreted in some quarters as an
offer to yield on the tariff ques-
ton if the United States would
yield on debts.
Whatever happens" Macdonald
told the house, 1.-The United States
and ourselves now clearly under
stand each other. We shall enter
with a full determination to do ev-
erything we can to make the world
economic conference success and
thereafter continue to help to re-
move fear from the hearts of the
pacific nations of Europe.
1.-The United States has agreed,
if the disarmament conference
comes to anything like satisfac-
tory issue, to take its part in con-
sultative pacts, the effect of which
will be to increase the security of
Europe and the safety of threaten
ed nations against war;"
Macdonald advised silence at pre-
sent on the war debts issue.
THE prospects Of success in the
very delicate matters that must be
faced without delay" he said.

GRAND JURY'S
REPORT FLAYS
COUNTY FARM
Hospital Conditions Declared
Deplorable And Payment Of
Outside Doctors Condemned.
ATTACK BURIAL CONTRACT
Criticism OF District Attorneys
Stenographer Termed Uncall-
ed For And Unjust.

Stigmatized as a notorious
disgrace to the county and
menace to the health of patients
and attendants, sanitary condi-
lions at the county farm and
hospital are given a thorough
and most unsavory airing in
the preliminary report of the
county grand jury which was
presented to the superior court
and placed on file shortly after
noon today.
This report of the jury with
an accompanying report tender
ed by a special investigator
from the state bureau of sani-
tary engineering retained by the
jury for the purpose of inquir-
ing into conditions existing at
the farm and hospital is most
wide in its Investigations and
scathing In its denunciations of
those responsible for such con-
ditions.
According to the report, this
special agent of the state health
bureau was sent for, sowing to
being unable to get cooperation
from our county health office,
it was necessary to call on the
state for assistance and expert
advice"
C. G. Gillispie, the expert
called In by tie grand jury to
make this investigation reported
to the jury on April rs, in part
as follows:
"The existing sewage disposal
Is VIGOROUSLY a disgrace to the
county and to the board Of SUI
pervisOrs and a menace TO the
health of patients and attend
ants. However, work was in
progress on a sort of cessp00l
long and rock filled, to receive
the overflow from a series of
other ordinary cesspools which
the board members stated would
next be built. The conclusion
is evident to me that this hos
pital will continue to have end
less trouble with its sewage and
that we can all anticipate long
periods of unrelieved offensive
conditions. Therefore, I believe
the supervisors would be wise to
plan to pipe or pump the sew
age to New River as a perma-
nent solution. 1 would be op-
posed to carrying so infectious
a sewage in any open accessible
ditch"
Continuing in its own report
regarding the county hospital
the jury said that the present
system In effect there is very
bad and has been patched over
from time to time at quite
cost to the taxpayers and Is
now being fixed up temporarily
which we feel is a great mis-
take and that something should
be done permanently to remedy
these conditions.
