murder of Brahm Singh, Hindu,
north of Calipatria last November
10. Investigators charged that they
shot and killed Brahm Singh and
seriously wounded Sham Singh
during. a robbery, from which they
escaped with more than $500.
Rengor was the first of the trio
arrested. He was brought here
from San Jose, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced. Manzino then was
arrested at Hilo. He escaped Jail,
and was recaptured just as Clarke
arrived at Hawaii to take over the
prisoner. Clarke, returning with
his prisoner, was met at Whining
ten yesterday by Harold Gillett,
and finished his return trip by au-
tomobile.
Clarke turned his prisoner over
to District Attorney Elmer w.
Heald and Tom Sharp, investiga-
tor. Under questioning. Manzino
+old story contradictory to that
told by Rengor after he was re-
turned frcm San Jose.
Changes Story
Where Rengor said that Manzino
fired the shot which killed Brahm
Singh, Manzino charged that Rem
gor held his arm and forced him
TO shoot the Hindu. Rengor said
the three FilipinoS went across the
desert together before returning to
the valley and firallv escaping.
Manzino said he left the automo-
bile in which they were riding be-
fore his companions stopped. He
said he has not seen them since.
Both Rengor and Manzino were
agreed on one point. RondariS had
no hand in the actual killing, act
ing only as driver of the car in
which the Hindus apd Filipinos
were riding.
Manzino could not explain three
sets Of footprints leading across the
desert, in the face of his statement
that he left his companions before
they were afcot. Neither could he
account for Sham Sings statement
that it was he who actually killed
Brahm Singh.
After his arrest. Rengor stated
that Manzino gave him the gun
which he used on the occasion of
the killing. Last night Manzino de-
MED this, stating in contradiction
that it was Rengor who gave him
the weapon he used.

said, and many signed under the
representation they were signing a
petition directed against Mark
Rose, circulated with the consent
and approval of Adams.
Others signed the petition, the
complaint charged, believing that
Adams could not continue to hold
office under an appointment by
the board of supervisors, and must
be elected to office. 1t was repre-
sented to them that the recall was
the only way to assure his place on
the district board of directors, the
complaint alleged.
1t was falsely, fraudulently, de-
ceitfully, corruptly and malicious
ly," represented to others, according
to charges, that:
Adams, if allowed to continue in
office, would shut off the water
supply of the city of Brawley dur
ing the summer months.
A Mexican director would be
named to the board when Adams
is recalled. This was for the pur-
pose of obtaining signatures of per-
sons of Mexican eXtraction)
1t is further charged that the
petitions are not rightly to be con-
sidereo by the district directors be-
cause the supplementary petition
was filed on holiday, March 6, so
proclaimed by the governor of the
state and the President of the Uni
ted States.
Many signers, the complaint fur

MACDONALD'S
PROPOSITION
NOT POPULAR
Reduction OF Arms And Holi-
day On Naval Building En-
counters Goodness At Geneva.
COMMENT IS FAVORABLE
Delegates OF Various Nations
Admire Briton's Courage But
Fail To Enthuse Over Plans.

GENEVA, March II. W.P)-Tired
from his emotional appeal to the
disarmament conference, Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald prepared
to leave today for his momentous
conference with Premier Mussolini
in Rome
The same tense political situation
hung over Europe as conference
delegates hotly but unofficially dis
cussed MacDonald's sweeping pro-
nosals. Though all realized that
something would have to be done
to rei,eve a situation brought about
py the rise OF the Nazis in Ger
many and the general suspicion Of
nations and groups of nations
toward one another, MacDonald's s
proposals did not meet with wide
spread approval
He urged a reduction of contin-
entail armies, naval holiday un-
til 1885 when a world naval con-
ference would be held, abolition of
military and naval aviation, and
permission to Germany to double
her armed forces to 10000 men.
Officially the delegates COM
mented pleasantly on the boldness
Of tie British statesmans ap-
proach and the earneStness of his
plea, but withheld more definite
opinions until further detailed study
required by s. large project.
Unofficially. dissatisfactions with
the plan were voiced. With the
Hitlerites in aggressive mood, few
Frenchmen or members of the Lit
tie Entente we're prepared to ac-
cept q project for doubling the
German forces. Unofficially, like
wise, there wes diSgruntled COM
ment on limitation of air forces,
which have been built to substan-
t,al heights by continental powers.
Some delegates pointed out that
England, secure in possession of
the worlds greatest navy, would
gain rather than lose from a naval
holiday.
Observers said tho British states
man, although offering projects
nanifestly reducing the arms bur-
den, mad failed to afford the spe-
cific guarantees against aggression
that France desired, had given no
promise of security on the contin-
ent in exchange for the concessions
all powers we1e asked to make.
Chancellories of Europe will study
the proposals in detail over the
weekend seeking bargaining points
and bases for further discussion

ON
SILVER URGED

PASADENA, March II. U.P)-Re-
habilitation of silver to broaden the
metallic base of the worlds finan-
cial structure was advocated by
John Hays Hammond, famous min
ing engineer, in an address before
the California Institute of Tech
nology last night.
He said reasonable stabilization
of silver's value in relation to gold
by means of an international agree
ment would be vital step to re-
covery from the economic depres-
sion.
Hammond declared that "to
maintain that the United States is
still on the gold standard implies
what Winston Churchill would call
the risk of chronological inexact-
itude." All the great powers with
the exception of France practically
are off the gold standard, he ad-
ded.

center about that wedding day
in 1905, when President ROose-
welt gave away his niece EIean-
or in marriage to her distant

Roosevelt, (nOw Mrs. Nicholas

which were the fashion at

CHARGE FRAUD
BY RECEIVER

LOS ANGELES, March II. U.PJ
Authority of William G. McDuffie
as receiver in equity for the Rich
field Oil company of California was
under attack today by attorneys
representing Joe Toplitzky, Los An
geles capitalist.
An action has been filed by Nc
Duffie to recover 100000 on a note
which Toplitzky assertedly executed
to the oil firm, and his attorneys
protested to Federal Judge Harry
A. Hollzer that he was without au-
thority because the order appoint
ing McDuffie was vitiated by "in-
trinsic fraud" practiced on the
court.
McDuffie appointment was
sought to protect the interests of
certain bankers at the expense of
bondholders of the Richfield COM
pany, the attorneys claimed.

WASHINGTON, March 17-Beer,
wine and fruit juices of moderate
alcoholic content we're emerging to-
day from the shadow of outlawry,
with only few legislative details
to be worked out before the Gus
toner may buy.
The senate voted 43 to 30 last
night to legalize 305 per cent bev-
erages. The house earlier in the
week approved 32 per cent beer
bill.
Discussion today shifted back to
the house, where the senate's slight
reduction in alcoholic content and
other amendments must be passed
upon.
House Majority Leader Byrns
said the house probably would balk
at reduction, although it involves
only 15-100th of one per cent. He
said the question would be decided
at a conference of leaders.
The Volstead act modification
cannot reach President Roosevelt
before Monday as the senate has
recessed until then: The bill will
become law Is days after sis>ia
ture. The earliest date of legal sale
of the beverages would be April 4.
The slight reduction of alcoholic
content was voted by the senate af-
ter many Democrats protested
against the limit fixed by the house.
With an eye to possible trouble
at home, senators desired such pro-
lection as they might obtain from
last sessions judiciary committee
decision that 3.05 per cent bever-
ages were not intoxicating.
Brewers representatives here said
there would be no appreciable diff
ference in the quality of 1892 or
3.O5 per cent beer. Dry leaders de-
clared one was as bad as the other
from their point of view.

WASHINGTON, March II. UD
The beer-wine bill moved an
other step toward final passage to-
day when the house, by an over
whelming vote, adopted a resolu-
ton sending it to conference for
adjustment of differences in the
house and senate versions.
House leaders were determined
to stand out for the restoration OF
the 80 per cent alcoholic content
instead of the 3.05 percentage writ
ten in by the senate before it's pas
sage there last night.
Leaders in both house and senate
hoped for final agreement on the
bill Monday. Signature by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on that day would
make it possible to sell beer to the
public on April a.

SUIT AGAINST
SCREEN STAR
Young Fairbanks Terms Action
For Alienation Plain Case Of
Blackmail.

. LOS ANGELES, March II. UP
-Characterizing an alienation of
affections suit filed against him by
Jorgen Dietz as IAN open and shut
case of blackmail" Douglas Fair
banks, Jr., young film actor, today
laid plans to defend himself in
court.
Dietz, 32-year-old chemical en-
gineer, demanded $4,000 damages
for alleged alienation of the affec-
ton of his wife, Mrs. Solveig Dietz,
scenario writer. In a second action,
he asked 10000 more for false i'm
prisonment, charging Fairbanks,
Michael Levee, his manager, and
District Attorney Buron Fits con-
spired to deprive him of his liberty.
Joan Crawford, the actors wife,
Levee and Fits joined with Fair
banks in terming the actions "at-
tempted eXtortion."
The alienation suit complained
that young Fairbanks began show
ing attentions to Mrs. Dietz, who is
in Copenhagen, early in 1881, that
he betrayed her on several occa-
sions,' and finally induced her to
leave her home on April Is, 1882.
In the false Imprisonment action,
Dietz declared Fairbanks and Le-
wee conspired to have him arrested
and taken to the district attorneys
office last December. Thence, he
said, he was taken to hotel room
and held four hours until he pro-
missed to waive any action against
Fairbanks.
Fits admitted Dietz had been
questioned by his office. He acted,
he said, on a request by repre-
sentative of viii H. Hays, to in
vestigate an attempted extortion
case against Douglas Fairbanks,
Jr."
1.-The investigation revealed" I"
Fits said, that Dietz was attempt
ing to compel Fairbanks to pur-
chase of one Lucy Doraine dia-
mond necklace valued at $500 for
the sum of $4,000. Dietz threatened
that, unless this purchase was
made, he would file an alienation
of affections suit against Fair
banks"

LONDON.-With fitness for pur-
pose" as its maxim. the Design and
Industries Association of Great Britain
is endeavoring to stimulate a national
revolt against the unlovely, whether it
is to be found in the cottage or the
palace, the kitchen or the drawing room.
For it is contended that ugliness and
inefictency are very near relatives.
The association is meeting with power
full support from many directions.
According to Sir Stephen Talents,
Board, English money Is ugly, and
foreigners are being invited to this
country under cover Of postage stamps
nicely calculated to keep them away"
From lay as well as professional
quarters come protests about ugly urban
streets and buildings, mushroom bum
galow schemes, and garish "gas" sta
tions and msightly billboards in the
countryside. The cult of beauty prob
ably has never had more advocates, but
to take the word Of those who are
campaigning in its interest there Is an
urgent need for strong methods.
The Design and Industries Associa-
ton, which was founded in 1915, and
corresponds to similar bodies in the
United States and on the continent OF
Europe, is cooperating in an exhibit
ton of British industricl design to be
held in London next -. It will be
the first comprehensiv, display ever
held Of design in modern British
products. The association Is even wag-
ing war against teapots with defective
spouts, furniture with drawers that
always jam. windows that are meant
