NEW EVIDENCE
UNEARTHED IN
CLINE 8 CASE.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. =. U.P)-In-
vestigation of A. l.. Cline, wealthy
robbery suspect, assumed an inter
national aspect today when Van
couver police checked reports he ac-
companied a wealthy Massachusetts,
woman there in 1880 after she
named him beneficiary Of her $50
coo estate.
Reports of the visit were narrat-
ed by Sidney Hyter, an attorney,
who said the late Mrs, Laura Cum
mings was twice stricken i'll on the
visit, at Seattle and again in the
British Columbia city. Mrs. Cum
mings died six months ago of ma
tural causes in Winthrop, Mass, her
former home.
The new information, according to
Investigators, provided them a new
clue in their inquiry into the deaths
of Clines wife and three other per-
sons who died suddenly, leaving
/ Cline their property. Bodies Of Mrs.
Cline and her brother, Lucas B. Nc
Creery, have been eXhumed for q
chemical analysis. Bodies of Mrs.
Carrie Potter, elderly Los Angeles
widow, and the Rev. E. L. Jones, re-
| tired Long Beach minister, were
cremated Immediately after death.
Hyter, comforting with Blayney
Matthews, chief special investigator
CT the district attorneys office, said
he was Mrs. Cummings attorney
when she and Cline made the nor
thern trip together. According to his
account, she was treated at the Roy
al Jubilee hospital in Vancouver, be-
ing released Sept. 18. 1880.
Disappearance of $4,000 in bond,
from her safety deposit vault waa
related by the attorney who said he
discovered the loss while Mrs. Cum
mings was away. Upon her return
she admitted making a will leaving
Cline her 100000 estate but was per-
suaded to tear up the document. Dis
appearance of the bonds was never
explained, Hyter said.
Matthews asked Vancouver police
to check hospital records to ascer-
tain the cause of Mrs. Cummings
illness, and other incidents Of hel
visit.
Cline, being held at San Bernard
ino, will be arraigned Nov. Is, on g
charge of robbing Martin Frame, ell
derly Los Angeles man, while Frame
was under the influence Of drugs
Frame alleged he was stricken il
and robbed of S240 after drinking 9
glass of buttermilk Cline gave him
The latter was granted a continu.
ance when arraigned yesterday but

COUNTY LEADS
|. ENTIRE NATION
IN CROP VALUE

Imperial county leads all coun-
ties in the United States in acre
age and value of vegetables har-
vested for sale according to a bu-
reau of census report just released
and sent locally to the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce. The value
of Imperial county's vegetable
crop, exclusive of melons, is given
as S14,609,0 OPT, a lead of $5,000,000
over Los Angeles county, the Sec
, ond ranking county in the United
States in value of vegetable crop
harvested for sale. The total veg
| etable production for the United
States is $295 $685. ,373. which would
show that Imperial county pro-
! duceS little more than one twen-
tieth of the country'S vegetables
as regards the value of the same.
AS regards acreage, Imperial
county has the highest acreage in
vegetables of any county in the
United States with 1890. This is
twice the acreage of Sacramento
county, which is second on the list
of the bureau of census, with total
acreage of 36.781. OF the SO lead
ing counties in the country in ac-
reage of vegetables grown, 13 are
in California,
Imperial, Los Angeles, Monterey
and Sacramento counties lead the
/ list as to values of crops and these
four have the highest acreage in
| the United States, with the eXcep-
ton of Maricopa county, Arizona,
which ranks fourth.
In total agricultural production
| bureau of census figures show that
Imperial county ranks eleventh in
the United States, according to the
chamber of commerce. Total pro-
duction, of course, includes vege-
tables, fruits and livestock.
! OF particular interest in connec-
! ton with these bureau Of census
reports on crop production, ac-
cording to Manager Hays of the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce, is
a report recently made which shows
that California has the lowest death
rate of any state in the Union and
! that Imperial county has the low
est rate in the state, thus giving
Imperial county the lowest death
rate in the United States. These
figures, Hays points out, combined
with the crop production figures,
prove that the desert climate with
its vitamen producing sunshine
definitely promotes growth and
health and cannot be equalled
anywhere in the United States.

Paints Arnold
 In New Light
Gilmartin Recruits Forces Which Determined Course
 of Career

q neither wish to defend nor to condemn Benedict Arnold" said
 John G. Gilmartin at forum at the Central Y. M. c. A. yesterday afternoon as he sopke on the life of Arnold. 1T do wish to point out the fine soldierly characteristics of the man and, if possible to find
 some cause that would make him
 turn from one of America's great
 est heroes to it's greatest traitor"
 MT Gilmartin recounted in de-
 tail Arnold's career as a soldier
 beginning with his early life in
 Connecticut where he was at one time captain of the Governor Footguard in New Haven. Arnold
 was put in command of an ex- petition to Canada, at one time, which in the words of MT Gilman tin was a second Valley Forge consisting of 40 days of marching, sometimes in water up to their chins. He was appointed to this task by Washington who. was a great admirer of Arnold's ability as a military leader. Among the brave men who made the trip and who later were to distinguish them- selves were Dearborn, Morgan. Aaron Burr ana MelSS. During this attack, Arnold was struck by a bullet and had he been killed his name would have gone down in history with Wolfe and Montca1m. However, on his return he was de- famed by congress. which in turn. was silenced by Washington who had only the highest praise for Arnold's work. MT Gilmartin said, insult added to injury by the con- gresSional assembly together with jealousy of many men in high | command of the American Revo-

The novena which opened a week ago yesterday at St Francis church will close tonight with services in the upper and lower churches. Yes terday three services were held two in the afternoon for women and one in the evening for men. These services with the opening of the forty hours devotion, which close tomorrow morning made quite a busy day for the missionary fathers the pastor of the church and his assistants. The women filled the church in the afternoon and the men did equally well in the even- ing.
 The sermon was preached by Father Boyd. He spoke on Per severence" in the course of which he emphasized the necessity of right living for all who aim to save their souls. At the close of the ex- ercises Father O'Hearn expressed appreciation of the manner in which the people attended the | morning and evening exercises thanked Father Egan and his | two assistants for cordial treat
 ment and read the Holy Name | pledge, which all recited stand. ing with uplifted hands. Il calls for strict conformity to the teachings of the church, true loyalty to the flag of the nation and a firm resolve to avoid the use of profanity. He also stated that over 2,200 exclusive of the children had made the novena and added that the character of the people was evidence that the pastor and his assistants are doing their work well among members of the parish.

Dan McCOWan at
 Second Church
Delighted Audience Last Night on Canadian Bird
 Life

Dan McCowan of Banff, Alberta, Canada spoke last night at the Second church forum on Canadian bird life. He is well known as a field naturalist. The lecture was H. Iustrated, views of lofty, snoW-cap ped mountains. rushing rivers, cat aracts and quiet sylvan scenes be- ing shown, Six varieties of grouse were shown and described. Another bird, q cowbird, similar to a cuckoo lays it's eggs in the nests of other birds, the speaker said, and when the young hatch they are so much stronger than the other birds that they throw the original tenants out.
 Black bears of the region are also described as well as the gribe, swimming and flying bird which can rise in the oir only from the water. It IS also a submarine bird, having air pockets under it's skin which it can expand. It can force itself far below the surface of the water.
 Indians of the region were also shown and described. Among the natural wonders shown were the hot springs in which it is common for tourists to go swimming during the winter when the thermometer registers 40 degrees below. The water always has a temperature of over 100 degrees also though sur rounded by ice and snow.

lutionary Forces was the cause of Benedict Arnold's turning against his country and being termed an arch traitor. Not only in the above example but in many of his deeds of bravery he was met by an un- grateful congress.
 MT Giimartin went on to tell of his work as a naval officer at Lake Champlain which he said would be the subject of many poems had not his later record disgraced him. He told of a sur- prise attack which defeated Gen. eral Burgoyne the credit for which goes Benedict Arnold. This battle proved the turning point of the war and was the battle which brought the aid of European countries. Arnold was put in command of Philadelphia by Washington, a city infested with Tories. Here he married Peggy Shipman the daughter of a Tory. His life continued to be harassed | by political rivals who went to congress with unfair charges. He
 was influenced by Tories, as told
 on all sides, that his deeds were discredited, thing which aroused
 his impetuous nature to such an extent that he lost all use for his country. The final straw came i when congress decreed that Wash ington should reprimand Arnold publicly for two very minor of- | lenses.
 MT Gilmartin asked at the end of his talk, that in the study and talk of Arnold the American peo- pie consider the good points of the man as well as the bad points and to form fair judgment of tho man and not n biased one.

Choral Director
 for Pirates
Mrs Nuhn in Charge for Performance of Operet=
 ia By Little Theatre

The Little Theater is partic- ularly fortunate in having Secured the services of Mrs Marjorie Soper
 Nuhn as choral director for "The
 Pirates of Penzance." Mrs Nuhn is well known in Waterbury both
 as a singer and a teacher and she has had distinguished career. Her early life was spent in NauG-
 atuck and she is graduate of
 simmons college where she was
 leader of the glee club and where
 she studied under Mabel Daniels
 who is noted composer. It was
 under Miss Daniels that she first
 received training in choral direct ing. After graduation Mrs Nuhn
 continued her study of music in
 New York, first under Madame
 Renard who was Anna Cases
 teacher, and then under Ross Da-
 vid. When she was in New York
 Mrs Nuhn had her first direct con-
 tact with "The Pirates of Pen
 zance" for. she sang the leading
 role, that of Mabel" In a produc- tion put on by the choir of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian church of which she was then n member. Mrs Nuhn remembers this experience very happily. She found the music of "The Pirates" irresistible and the more she sang 1t the more she enjoyed it. Her as- sociation with the Little Theater
 production therefore seems par ticularly appropriate.
 Mrs Nuhn was highly compli-
 mented by MenGelberg when she sang with the New York Philhar- monic orchestra under his diree- tion; and by Frederick Stock when
 she sang under his direction with
 the New York symphony orches-
 tra at the Lewisohn Stadium in
 New York city. She has made
 successful appearances With the
 New York Oratorio society, the Cleveland symphony orchestra, the New York Symphony under Albert
 Stoessel, both at Chautauqua and in New York city, and at the Westchcster County Festival; With
 the Women's University Glec Club of New York and with the Brahms Quartet in Dayton. Last summer
 she sang in the Messiah in Nor- wich.
 Mrs Nuhn is at present soprano soloist in the Second Congrega- tionaI church in Waterbury. She Is also well known as a concert singer here. During the war she directed the Community Chorus in | Watertown and two years ago she directed the Girls Glee Club at the Second church. She is now study ing with Florence Wessell in New York as well.
 It is indeed fortunate for the | Little Theater that she has found time to direct the singing for "The | Pirates" She has not only worked at the regular rehearsals and with | tho choruscs, but she has been doing private work with the indl- ! yidual soloists. She is most opu-
