SHIFT BASE

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IT. U.P)-
A story of colossal losses suffered
by California investors through
bankruptcies and receiverships was
contained in the records of a Spe-
cial U. S. senate investigating COM
mittee today as it shifted the scene
of its inquiry to San Francisco.
The story of unfortunate, unwise
and sometimes dishonest manage
ment of invested millions was COM
pleted when the committee learned
the Fox West Coast theatre chain
was thrown into bankruptcy to es-
cape Improbable lease obligations.
Louis w. Myers, an attorney, testi-
fled a $4,000 weekly loss was con-
verted into a $4,000 weekly oper-
ating profit when the chain was
taken over by the newly formed
Fox West Coast Theatres Corp,
and unprofitable theatres were dis
carded through bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.
The committee was dazed as it
tried to trace stock ownership in
the new company through the test
imony of Charles P. Skouras, re-
ceiver for the bankrupt West Coast
concerns. Skouras said the bank
rupt company's stock is owned by
Wesco Corporation which in turn is
controlled by the Fox Film Corpor-
alton. Fox Film in turn is owned
by the Chase National Bank OF New

SIXTY DEATHS
FROM ST TORM
Intense Cold And Heavy Snow
Take Scores Of Lives Through
out Country.

CHICAGO, Nov. II. U.P-One
of the most severe early winter
storms on weather bureau records
caused heavy loss of life and sent
temperatures crashing to abnormal
lows in midwestern and north
eastern states today.
The cold wave extended from
White River, Ont, where it was
% degrees below zero, to Mobile,
Ala, on the Gulf of Mexico, where
Jack Frost made his earliest ap-
pearance in many years. At least go
persons were reported dead or miss
ing as a result of the storm.
Near Green Bay, Wis, on Lake
Michigan, a steam tug and sew
eral fishing boats battled ice and
a gale in an effort to rescue three
youths marooned on a small boat.
An airplane located the boat ~
miles from shore.
The boat, a small cabin craft,
was reported without heating fac
ilities in near zero weather. Aboard
the boat, which was frozen in
ice, were Elmer Phillips, 20, and
Joseph and Walter Brunette,
brothers.
Near st. Paul, Mimi, two men
were frozen to death. Peter Rezek,
SIS, Willard, Wis, was found frozen
on railroad tracks, and Michael
Donaher, 48, st. Paul, died of eX-
posure soon after being removed
from a cave where he had sought
shelter from the storm.
Reports of deaths resulting from
the storm included: Pennsylvania
IL; New York, 7; Minnesota, 2;
Ohio, Q; Indiana, 3; Illinois, 2; and
one each in New Hampshire, West
Virginia and North Dakota. Two
duck hunters were missing in
Michigan. Twenty-seyen men were
feared lost when the British freight

DELIBERATELY
CARRIED OUT.
Holmes And Thurmond Planned
Each Step Carefully Before
Staging Crime.
OFFICIALS SEEK FOR BODY
Details Of Tragedy Reveal
Shocking Cruelty OF Young
Mans Abductors.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov IT. U.P)
One of the two confessed kidnap-
ers and slayers of Brooke Hart, %,
emptied shots from revolver into
the youth as he struggled in the wa
ter of San Francisco bay prior to
his death last Thursday night, fed
eral agents charged today as they
barred new details of alleged confess
sions.
The officers attributed the act of
brutality to Thomas Harold Thur
mond who with John Holmes, fa-
ther Of two young children, con-
fessed kidnapping young Hart, slug
ging him and throwing him still
alive from the San Mateo bridge.
Reed Vetterli, chief of the de-
partment of justice forces in San
Francisco confirmed the latest story
OF Thurmond, which for sheer
cruelty, linked the Hart case to the
Lindbergh baby Staying and the
Marion Parker killing in Los An
les in 1927.
Vetterli and Sheriff William Emig
Of San Jose agreed that the kid
naperS planned from the start to
kill Hart and never intended to re-
turn him after payment OF the $40,-
coo they demanded. In this respect
they described the case as reSemb-
ling the technique" of the Lind
bergh baby murder and the killing
of the Parker girl by William Ed
ward Hickman.
SlayerS of the Lindbergh baby
collected ransom after the childs
death. They still are at large. Hick-
man employed the same strategy
and collected money from the bank
er-father of the little Parker girl.
In the case of Hickman, however,
he was traced by serial numbers on
the currency, captured in Oregon,
and hanged at San Quentin prison.
Agents Anderson and Conroy said
Thurmond and Holmes admitted
they bought blocks of stucco ce-
ment used to slug Hart and to
weight his body. They also pur-
chased wire with which to bind him,
the confessions said.
Meanwhile, dragging operations
were continued in San Francisco
bay, near the San Mateo bridge,
where portions of mans shirt and
bits of flesh were recovered by grap-
ping hooks last night.
Thurmond and Holmes were held
in the San Francisco Jail as feeling
ran high in San Jose, where Alex
j, Hart, the father, is one of the
city's most prominent men. Angry
crowds formed around the San Jose
Jail before the prisoners were
brought here. One leading San jose
newspaper ran front-page editor
ial under the title Human Devils"

POLICE GUARD
MEAT PLANTS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IT. U.P)-
Fifty police were sent to the pack
ing house district today with the
report that a meat-cutter IS strike
called a week ago by the local un-
ion had been put into effect.
The report also was reflected in
the livestock market, with few de-
mands from killers, in view of the
uncertainty of processing.
Police reported picketers were in
evidence at the Cudahy, Wilson
and Hauser plants, as we'll as sew
eral smaller establishments.
Officials of the Cudahy and Will
son plants, however, denied that
any cutters had walked out.
Approximately 1900 men were said
to have agreed last night to walk
out, on the eve of meeting called
by the regional labor board for
next Monday, to attempt to arbi-
trate the controversy and forestall
the walkout.

JAIL BREAK
HERE Fooled

With less than two months yet
to serve on tLeir sentences, Juan
Jersn, %, and Diego Rodriguez, 80,
both confined in the county jail on
immigration charges, decided to
make break for freedom last night
by saving their way through the
bars of window in the southeast
corner of the building.
Their efforts were frustrated AMI
as a result they are in special con-
finement and face chaiges of at
tempted escape with a possible ad-
ditional charge of destruction of
county property
With saw blades smuggled in to
them, the pair started working OH
tie bars about o'clock last night.
They had one end of one bar sawed
completely through end tie upoer
end half through when Pitt Ham
1lton, night Watchmsn at the jail,
heard the noise and investigated.
Watching the men at work for n
few minutes, Hamilton summoned
aid from the sheriff's office and
Illc dIltlHpUtu cSCd)G Ndc OlOuSlsI
to speedy conclusion.
Teran's nine month sentence was
to have expired on January 5,
while Rodriguez would have bee,. at
liberty on December II, the end o.
his four month incarceration.
Jail officials this ,aorning point
ed out that the lack of heavy
screams over the vino oWs makes the
temptation to try for freedom often
difficult for the prisoners to over
come, particularly when without
any outside interference and given
enough time, The feat could be
done. They say repeated represen-
tations have been made concern
ing the lack of this protective
screen but nothing has as yet been
done to remedy the deficiency.
Had the saving operations been
successful last night, nothing could
have prevented a general jail de-
livery as The window chosen for the
escape attempt is but foot or two
from the ground on the south side
of the building. and hidden from

TRUITT 7 FILES
On
HUMANE WORK

Summary of the first six months
work of the Imperial County HUI
name society is made by w. v.
Truitt, humane officer.
During this period Truitt has
driven over 1000 miles, inspected
1925 head of horses and mules.
Of these 95 have been ordered out
of harness as unfit for work and
46 have been condemned and killed
as being unfit for further useful
ness.
Truitt has ordered many adjust
ments of harness and collar and
much time has been given in in
struction and demonstration of hu-
name methods in care and treat
ment of animals. While over 100
cases of cruelty could have been
prosecuted, actually only 81
were prosecuted and convictions
were secured in all but two cases.
The humane officer states that it
is his aim to educate people and gain
their confidence as in many cases
they are ignorant, shiftless and
desperately poor.
A pound has been established
where more than 400 dogs have
been impounded of which 365 were
destroyed, homes being found for
the rest, Many cats have been
destroyed.
Truitt averages 10 hours a day
being called at all time to care for
injured animals on the highway.
With the construction of the ALI
American canal where large num-
bers of horses and mules will be
used, the county humane society
anticipates an even greater problem
