.ELOPED At IS;
GIRL DIVORCED

A divorce on grounds of "deser-
tion and nonsupport" has been
granted Mrs. Wesley w. Billings,
%, of Washington, in Brinkley,
Ark.
Mrs. Billings, the former Audrey
M. Witcomb, is daughter of the
second leader of the United States
Marine Band and Mrs. Arthur S.
Witcomb. Her decree permits her
to resume her maiden name.
The Billingses eloped in 1926
and were married in Rockville.
The bride was Is.
Because of their age, the fam
lilies attempted to prevent the
marriage. The police were asked
to stop the wedding and the Wom-
ems Bureau telephoned Rockville
only to learn the ceremony had
been performed.
Mrs. Witcomb said today she ex-
pected her daughter to return to
Washington, after a motor tour of
the West, and that the girl would
go back to school. Said Mrs. Wit
comb:

Hastings, Author of ResoIu-
ton, Says Apportionment
Will Remain Live Issue

A threat that the investigation
of Civil Service apportionment
will be carried on in each succeed
ing Congress was made today by
Representative w. w. Hastings
CD of Oklahoma.
Hastings, author of the resolu-
ton under which a special COM
mittee Of the House Civil Service
Committee will begin an investi-
cation next week, made this threat
in an extension Of remarks ap-
pearing in today'S Congressional
Record.
Expresses Regret
The Oklahoma Representative
expressed his regret that the ap-
portionment clause was stricken
from the Independent Offices sup
ply bill. He pointed out that as
one of the House conferees he had
fought for the retention Of the
section which made it necessary
that in curtailing Government po-
Sitions due regard was to be given
to apportionment of appointments.
He explained, however, that when
the Senate put in the efficiency
gauge along with apportionment
that the scope of the House provi-
sion was nullified.
The subcommittee is expected
to report to the full House Civil
Service Committee in January.
Legislation, in all probability, will
result from the inquiry, which is
of vital Importance to the District
and four States, including Mary
land and Virginia, all of which
have an excess number of Civil
Service workers in the Govern
ment's employ.

DRY AIDE FIRED.
BY DALRYMP

j. R. Wegman, a lawyer in the
prohibition unit at Washington,
was fired yesterday, presumably
in connection with the granting
of 80 beer permits to five New
Jersey racket breweries.
Wegman was dismissed by A.
v. DalrympIe, national director
of prohibition.
Dalrymple announced he acted
because of correspondence Veg
man had with lawyers for New
Jersey breweries."
Dalrymple himself was u n d r
fire five weeks ago for dealing
with representatives Of the brew
cries and for authorizing issuance
of permits to the five racket
breweries, whose permits the Gov
ernment is now trying to revoke.
Wegman, it is said, received
correspondence from Judge Har-
old Simandl, of Newark, counsel
for the Harrison Brewery, the
first brewery the Government
moved against.
Wegman also Is said to have re-
ceived telephone calls from rep
resentatives of the brewery.
Dalrymple refused to enlarge
on his explanation for Wegman's
dismissal, or the nature of the
brewery correspondence, except to
say:
ut seemed to justify his re-
moval from the prohibition bu-
reau,"

IT'S ALL part of a grand tradition
l. this liking for a long, tall
drink F.! Certainly it seems to be almost
universally accepted as the civilized
way to drink after sundOwn.
So you'll find Canada Dry all over
the world. Wherever the ancient
custom has gone, The Champagne of
Ginger Ales has followed. And the
reason is quite simple. No other GIN
ger ale makes such a good drink.
Leave aside, for the moment, the
remarkable flavor of Canada Dry ..
its purity its sparkle and just
consider it's balance. 1t Itdoesn'tmerely
mix it blends! 1t makes long,
tall drink thing of delight no
matter what else you use. Lemon or

And, of course, that's just as true
if you drink The Champagne of

delightful drink to refresh you on
a warm day would be hard to find!

|MO[EY STICKS
BY PRESIDENT

SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 81 UP)
Prof. Raymond T. Moley, former
assistant secretary Of state, today
deplored the united attack" on
President Roosevelt's monetary pol
icy, and intimated the matter was
too complicated to be safely en-
trusted to popular sentiment.
THE issue cannot be decided by
referendum of the people" Moley
said. "It requires careful and in
telligent reasoning l am in favcr
of a reasonable adjustment.
There is obvious evidence of a
unified attack on the Presidents
plans in regard to the monetary
system.
This is no time for a battle be-
tween opposing Sides
In regard to NRA, Prof. Moley
expressed the belief that the Pre-
sident's plans had worked out "very
we'll" The recent uptrend in bust
ness, he said, he regarded as at
tributable chiefly to the Recovery
Act, plus the effects Of the public
works program.
Recent attacks" on the Presi-
dents financial and economic pro-
gram will be answered soon in the
magazine Today, edited by Prof.
Moley, he said. The Moley article
thus will be current at the same
time as the issue Of Alfred Z.

an attack on the administrations
monetary policy Questioned regard
ing Smiths attack, Moley replied:
"Mr. Smith is man to be re-
spected, but I think his view is eX-
treme, and that of one man only.
Even the old-time bankers don't
want return to the monetary con-
ditions of the past few years.
Prof. Moley expressed gratifica-
ton over the recognition of Soviet
Russia step which he said should
lead to many economic advantages.

DATE Of CANAL
BIDS DELAYED

Word has been received here that
the call for bids on the first four
mile section of construction on the
All-American canal project which
were to have been opened in Yuma
on December has been cancelled.
In place of this a substitute call
is now made for bids on IA mile
section extending west from Pilot
Knob, which are to be opened in
Yuma on December 2c.
The announcement was made By
Ray M. Jriest, government engineer
in charge of construction, after re-
ceiving instructions from the Den
yer office of the United States re-
clamation service.
At irrigation district headquar-
ters this morning it was stated that
this change means a complete re-
vamping of the estimate M. j..
Dowd, district engineer, was MAX
ing for the board of directors in
preparation for a bid to be submit
ted by the district for this work.
The first estimate had called for
!. a four-mile sector west from Pilot
Knob but in extending this to in
clude ID miles, specifications must
be changed and the entire bid made
over TO include the additional
ground.
II is not thought, however, that
this change will greatly delay start
of construction on the canal which
is expected to get under way early
in January.

Tomorrow morning (Tuesday)
we are putting approximately 1000
men of Imperial county to work
They will work steadily, 30 hours
a week at wages ranging from As
cents to $1.10 per hour. Men will
be drawn from work relief lists un-
til December / and after that will
be taken from National Reemploy-
ment lists to allow those not on re-
lief rolls to get work. Control OF
all work projects remains with the
CWA at all times.

appointed G. H. Edminson as county
director of the organization. S. E

with U. S. treasury checks. M. o.
Briggs is acting director of the
County Emergency Relief program
Mrs. j. c. Neale is named agent in
charge of the local relief office, re-
placing Briggs.

unemployed man in Imperial coun-
ty is very bright. In addition to
the 1900 men who go to work to-
morrow morning, close to 400 men
have already been put to work
through the National Reemploy-
ment office. With a heavy call for
men for work on the All-American
canal expected early next year, and
500 men who will be needed to put

gram in effect during December, we
expect to have practically every
county resident at work.

Brooke Hart, last night, may never

today.
Although refusing to be quoted

The sheriff was struck in the

Witnesses said Emig helped de-

was said, mistook Sierra for one o.
the Hart killers and was attempting
to break into his cell when Emig
and the deputy intervened.

STATE : LAST
LYNCH|NC At
SAINT ROSA

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 81. U.P)
California citizens resorted to
lynching for the first time in 13
years when they hanged John NJ
Holmes and Thomas H. Thurmond
at San Jose last night.
The last previous lynching in the
state occurred at Santa Rosa, SO
niles north of San Francisco, III
1926 A mob from San Francisco
went there, took from the county
Jail three men accused of Staying
three peace officers, and hanged
them to a tree.
The triple lynching ended the
oepredations of San Franchises
notorious Howard street gang"
No arrests followed the hangings.
The state has no direct "anti-lynch-
ing" law.
The men who were hanged were
Terrence Fits, John Boyd and
Spanny Valente. They had fled
from San Francisco following a &C.
lies of attacks on girls and rob-
berries.
Detectives learned that they were
hiding in Santa Rosa. Detectives
Miles Jackson and Lester Dorman
went there and we're met by Sher-
IF James Petrie, Sonoma county.
The three officers found the fugi-
tives in a cottage. When the Off
GERS entered the place, Boyd reach
ed under a pillow, pulled out gun
and shot them. All three died of
their wounds.
Deputies placed the three fugi-
tivcs in the county Jail. Three days
later their bodies were dangling
from a single tee.
Other members of The Howard
street gang" received long prison
sentences for the crimes in which
they participated.

To Get Storm,

That Imperial Valley may expect
a decided change in the weather
within the next few days due to the
fact that a very large storm is
heading this way is the statement
made by Fred A. Baughman, frost
expert and representative of the U.
S. Weather Bureau.
When Baughman examined his
barometer this noon he found it
was falling rapidly and he antici-
pates that the valley will expert
ence winds and possibly rains with
in the next few days.
Last night the storm centered
over northern Montana and today
is rapidly moving in a southwest
erly direction. A decided change in
the weather within the next day
or so is anticipated as a result OF
the approaching storm which at
noon had lost none of its intensi-
tV
