kuo over operations of the jointly
operated Chinese Eastern railway
was heightened today when the
Manchurian representative deliver
ed an ultimatum to Moscow de-
manding the return of confiscated
rolling stock within a month.
Demand for restitution was made
as the situation threatened to force
abandonment of international mall

Manchuria.
The note demanded return of 83
locomotives, 100 carriages and 5000
freight cars which the Soviet al
legedly hauled into home territory
and flatly refused to restore to
Manchurian service.

moved to execute an order issued
last week, severing connections of
the Chinese Eastern railway with
the Trans-Siberian railway at
Manchuli, northwestern gateway to
Moscow and Europe. The soldiers
switched sleeping cars on main

JURY To GET
SLAY|NG CASE
Expect Trial OF Lonjino AIva-
rado May Be Concluded Late
This Afternoon.

Fate of Lonjino Alvarado,
charged with the staying of Ger
man Barques, was expected to be
given to the jury late this after
noon, the defense having rested its
case shortly before court recessed
at noon.
Arguments were started at 1:30
with R. I. French. deputy district
attorney, opening for the prosecu-
ton and it was expected they would
be concluded in time to give the
case to the jury by S o'clock.
Defense attorneys made a des-
perate attempt yesterday afternoon
to overthrow the testimony of Tom
Sharp, special investigator for the
district attorneys office concerning
confession purported to have been
made to Sharp at the time of AL
varado's arrest.
Alvarado took the stand during
the afternoon and was closely ques-
toned by District Attorney Elmer
Heald regarding the testimony he
had given at the inquest in Braw-
ley the day following the killing.
Alvarado repeatedly denied that he
had said what was reported to have
been said by him at the inquest.
He was followed on the stand by
his wife whose testimony dealt
chiefly with her husbands condi-
ton when he returned home from
the dance during which 1t is alleged
that he had engaged in a fight
with the deceased. This testimony
showed the man was rather Sc
verely injured about the head and
shoulders.
Anastasio Alvarado, a son of the
defendant, also testified. He stated
that Sharp had threatened him
and had actually struck him to
force him to say certain things det-
rimental to his fathers cause. The
| defendant had also accused E. H.
Gies who had acted as interpreter
at the inquest of threatening words
and gestures.
At this mornings session of the

recalling many of yesterdays wit
nesses to the. stand. The first of
these was Sheriff George Campbell
who stated that he had not heard
| any threats made to the defendant
or any of his family in his pre-
sence, nor had he seen any threat
ening gestures made to either Al
varado or his son.
Campbell was followed on the
stand by Gels who denied that he
had made any threats against the
defendant or that Sharp had struck
or threatened to strike the son, at
any time that he was present.
Then Sharp took the witness
stand again and entered his strong
denial of having threatened or
struck any witness at any time or
in any way. He was followed by
Mrs. Hazel Livingston, who testi-
fled that she was with Sharp all
curing the day of March 4 and that
she neither saw nor heary threats
or threatening actions on the part
of the investigator.

WASHINGTON, April II. : Ad-
ditional expenses appear to be on
the way toward largely offsetting
savings made by drastic economies
in the new administration, accord
ing to a United Press canvass to-
day.
Figures and estimates now OBJ
tainable show economies to date
practically balancing new expendi-
lures, amounting to $750,000,000
each.
The amount of net savings ulti-
mately will depend upon the extent
of further cuts to be made in ex-
ecutive departments.
These figures do not include the.
contemplated public works bond
issue. They are confined to money
saved or to be spent out of tax
receipts.
That President Roosevelt is rad
ically shifting the purposes of gov
ernment expenses is clear from the
figures. Millions of dollars are to
be saved from government salaries.
veteran payments, and abolition of
useless government jobs.
These savings are deflationary.
they take money away from per-
sons But they are, in effect, to
be put to other uses such as direct
federal relief for the destitute, for
reforestation which will not only
provide employment now but will
ultimately yield profitable returns
in timber sales, into Muscle Shoals
for development of cheap power,
and into naval building to bring
the navy up to treaty strength.
Major economies ordered or vlr-
! tually decided upon include: Vet
Grams $450, 100000; justice depart
ment, $2,000,000; commerce depart
ment, $19,000.000; general salary
cuts. $130, 900; post office de-
partment, $125, 100000 navy (tenta-
tive estimate) 25,000,0oo; total
| $751; 100000.
May Convert Bonds
| In addition there will be savings
in the army and the agriculture
and interior departments of con-
siderable but as yet undetermined
size. Furthermore several billion
dollars in liberty bonds may be
converted to lower interest bear
ing obligations this year with a
saving in interest of possibly $780,
900, 900 a year.
There is curtailment in effect
of outlays by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation which spent
| 81 ,675, 900, 900 in the first year.
Major new expenses probably
will include the following: Direct
relief to state $500,000, 900: refore-
! station (estimated) 100000, GOO;
Muscle Shoals development .esti-
mated $10,000.000; naval building

DEMOCRATS AT
HOLTVILLE IN
PARTY RUCKUS

Harmony within the ranks of
county Democrats which was ce-
mented by the sweeping victory of
the party at the polls last Nov
ember is seriously threatened by a
movement which is gradually gain
ing momentum in Holtville to cir
culate a petition for the recall of
four members of the county CEN
tral committee. The committeeman
in question are S. NJ. SmySer, l..
A. Harris, H. j. Messenger and
John Kavanaugh.
This discomfort had its culmin-
alton in the recent appointment of
L. A. Harris to the poStmastership
of Holtville, according to Arthur
Walker and George johnson, prom
inent Holtville Democrats, who are
actively engaged in making pre-
parations to circulate the petition.
Protesting against the action of
the central committee in secur-
ing the appointment and installa-
ton of Harris as postmaster be-
fore the term of Ramar Ryerson
had expired, Walker and Johnson
have been busy canvassing men,
bers of both the Democratic and
Republican parties to secure the
necessary votes.
It was learned this morning that
a snag had been struck in the pro-
ceedings which may cause the en-
tire proposed recall to be drop
ped. This is that according to law
a recall petition may be circulated
only against a public official and
there are grave doubts that a men,
ber of the central committee of any
party may be so termed. Propon-
ents of the recall movement are
busily consulting lawyers in order
to find out just where they stand
on the question and what possibil-
ity there might be of launching
the recall movement.

VALLEY FLYER
FORCED DOWN
Nal Carberry OF Brawley Has
Close Call While Flying His
Plane Near Mexico City.

MEXICO CITY, April 10. (U.P)-
Indians were recruited today to
chop a path through heavy brush
so that Nal Carberry, former Braw-
ley, Calf, aviator, might fly his
airplane out of the mountains be-
tween here and Cuernavaca,
Carberry made forced landing
in small cleared space $500 feet
above sea level late yesterday, mar

Brawley for several years and is
very popular among residents of
that community. He was employed
by many of the growers to "dust"
crops with pest killing chemicals
spread from his airplane. He main
tained headquarters at the Braw-
ley airport, according to reports
from the northend city.
He left Brawley about a month
ago and recently wrote friends that

day or Monday. His mother resides
in Los Angeles and his wife is be-
lieved to be visiting with her or
with her own family in the north,
as she could not be reached in

is named as one of the defendants
in a suit filed in superior court
here yesterday by w. G. Miles, ask
ing damages for killing of bees and
injury to honey as result of Car
berry busting" a melon field with
poison. The other defendant named
in the suit is A. Arena and COM

damaged $81.36 worth of honey,
killed Sc colonies of bees valued at
$l8l. Among the alleged slaughter
bees we're said to be 56 queen bees
valued at $56. Miles said replacing
labor cost $18.

Ho,Uling BY Dogs
Draus Protest

Howling at the moon may be a
time honored practice in dogdom
but it is a bit difficult for mere
humans to sleep during the process,
especially when the nightly con-
certs continue unabated until long
after a. m.
Residents of certain sections OF
Ell Centro told representatives of
The Press today that while they
liked dogs they certainly would
appreciate it if dog owners would
teach their pets better manners.
Young dogs, it was suggested,
should be disciplined and old dogs
spanked when they give way to
the primitive desire to serenade
the moon. Since nothing can be
done about the moon, it is up to
dog owners to silence their pets or
have their voices trained to sing
soothing lullabies, authorities said.
