COURT TO TRY
CONVICTS FOR
FATAL BREAK

SAN RAFAEL, Calf. March %.
U.R)-Five San Quentin prison in
mates, already serving life terms for
their crimes, today faced new
trials which may send them to the
gallows for the death of a fellow
prisoner in a futile escape plot.
Those indicted by the Marin
county grand jury here were Ethan
McNabb, known as the 'yacht
bandit;' Louis Downs, Alameda
county convicted slayer; George
F'redericks and George Masters, San
Francisco prisoners, and William
Bagley, famed northwestern desper-
ado.
They were charged with COM
mitting an assault while serving
life terms, an offense punishable
with death according to an inter-
probation of the penal code present
ed by Attorney General U. s. Webb
A convict who did not participate
in the escape plot was shot and
killed when a home made gun, al
legedly handled by McNabb, was
discharged accidentally. Guar d
stopped the jailbreak effort by
heavy gunfire from the towers OF
the prison wall. Bagley was wound

AIR MYSTERY
SOLVED WHEN
WRECK FOUND

MENDOZA. Argentina, March %.
U.P)-An airplane mystery of near
ly two years ago. when a tri-mo-
tored plane with six passengers and
a crew of three disappeared over
the snow-capped Andes, was solved
today.
Two mountain guides reported
finding the wreckage of the Pan
Americana Grace Lines plane San
jose. in a snow covered valley, six
hours by muleback out Of Puente De
Linca. All nine bodies were in the
plane.
The plane vanished on July 16
1882, enroute from Santiago, Chile,
for BuenoS Aires.
No Americans were among the
passengers but the crew included
Charles j. Robinson, pilot and c. w
Myers, co-pilot and radio operator
both Americans.
1t was winter when the plane fell
Now it is summer and unusually hot
resulting in the melting of the snow
and exposure of the Wreckage.

CASUALTIES IN HAKQDATE FIRE
EXPECTED To EXCEED EST|MAT T

swiftly set relief agencies in motion
to guard against peStilence and ex-
poSure among the 10000 homeless
refugees. -Four naval destroyers, car
rying emergency supplies, were the
first to bring outside aid to the city.
The Japanese army air corps was
called upon to rush medical supplies
and army doctors.
The Japanese public rallied i'm
mediately to the assistance of their
unfortunate countrymen Corpora
tionS and individuals gave readily
to relief funds collected in various
cities. Merchant ships loaded lum-
ber at many ports TO provide tempor-
airy buildings for Hakodates popu
lace, now scattered on bleak hills or
quartered in the huts of neighbor-
ing villagers.
Hakodate, percned on the far
northern island of Hakkaido had
little warning of the disaster which
overlook it. Most of the residents
were asleep when a tall smoke-stack
crumpled by nigh wind, fell into a
public bath and ignited the struc-
ture.
The flames, pushed by the wind,
raced through the papier-mache
houses of the residential district,
and quickly leveled the structures OF
thin wood, paper partitions and mat
floors housing the populace. The
larger buildings fell before the OH
rush of the fire. All communications
equipment was wiped out. The
foreign consulates, situated on a
hillside, escaped.
Word of the disaster was sent to
the outside world by the radio ap-
paratus of ships in the harbor. They
also provided the only means OF
communication through which city
officials sent their appeals for i'm
mediate aid for the populace.
So far as could be learned no for
eigners were included on the fatal
ity list.

CONTRACT FOR
ASPARAGUS TO
BE DRAWN UP

Preparation of a contract between
asparagus growers of the valley and
the California Sanitary company
today occupied members of the
permanent committee appointed by
the growers last night at the meet
ing in the court house.
c. G. Halliday, member of the
committee and deputy district at
torney, was busy drawing up the
contract this morning and it was
hoped that it might be signed by

the surplus crop might go into ef-
feet at once.
Growers met last night at the
court house with Joseph Shapiro
representative of the California
Sanitary company of Long Beach
the canning concern. A perman-
ent committee was appointed COM
posed of Virgil Simms, Howard T
Jones, Tom Sinoda, c. G.. Halliday
and B. A. Harrigan, agricultural
commissioner.
Beginning today, under ruling of
the state pro-ration committee, 25
per cent of the local crop will be
declared surplus and may not be
used for interstate shipment. This
surplus may be canned even though
the official date for canning is not

TOXIC, March 22.-Danger of
any major war in the far east in
the immediate future has become
exceedingly remote as result OF
publication of good will notes in
terchanged by Foreign Minister K
Hirota and Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull in the opinion of high Of
ficial circles in Toxic.
From a dozen statesmen in Japan
the United Press obtained this
composite opinion about the Hir-
ota-Hull declarations:
|. They indicate the strength OF
the Japanese and American govern
mentS will be used Immediately to
prevent any major armed conflict
in the Orient or on the Pacific
ocean.
.. If Washington accedeS to To-
kio'S wishes, it was believed the
declarations might be merely pre-
liminary to more far-reaching
agreements in which relationship
between Japan and the United
States might be established similar
to that between Japan and Britain
during the days of the Anglo-Jap-
aneSe alliance.
3. Declarations may constitute q
first step towards eventual recog-
milton of Manchukuo by the United
Press. Such recognition cannot be
expected, however. for ga number
of years.

NEITHER SIDE
SHOWS SIGNS
Of WEAKENING
White House None Too Conf
dent That Strike In Auto In
dustry Can Be Averted.
MUCH DOUBT ON OUTCOME
Informal Statement Asserts Sit
uation Is Not Yet Regarded
AS Hopeless.

WASHINGTON, March %. (UP)-
President Roosevelt talked man to
man today with union leaders who
hold the power to call a general
strike Of organized labor through
out the automobile industry.
The President fought to avert a
Walkout which, it was feared, might
spread through the steel and other
key industries.
He met the union leaders at the
same White House conference table
where tight-lipped motor manufac-
turers assembled yesterday.
Neither side showed indication of
weakening in the dispute over the
key issue of unionization of the mo-
| tor industry, stronghold of the nom
g., union open shop"
Even the White House appeared
! none too confident. The only ex-
| preston forthcoming there was an
! informal statement that the situa-
! ticn was not regarded as hopeless.
| The manufacturers, who had
! two hour session with the Presi-
ident yesterday, were standing just
as firm in their fight against un-
ionization
1t appeared to many that the best
the President could hope for i'm
mediately would be continuation of
the present truce which has halted
the strike temporarily.
! President William Green, William
Collins, A. F. of L. leader for Mich
igan; and one representative each
for IL unions in the Detroit area
and one in Cleveland were select
ed to lay Iaaor's case before the
President.
Collins said they would ask par
ticularly for a final Interpretation
of section IA of the recovery act,
which says labor shall be free to
organize and select men of it's own
choosing for collective bargaining.
! "Free choice-the President has
said it meant free choice-iS some
thing we haven't had,' Collins
said.
There was increasing speculation
as to the possibility that the Pres
ident might resort to his licensing
powers. Green in an open statement
said labor would urge this course
eff these manufacturers maintain
their stubborn and unyielding at
titude and refuse to accord the
workers their exercise of their legal
rights to organize into union of
their own choosing and to bargain
collectively through their own chos-
en- representatives.. -

CROONER'S SON
UNDER GUARD

LOS ANGELES, March %. U.P)-
A reputed plot to kidnap the g.
months-old son of Bing Crosby, the
crooner, commanded the attention
of police Investigators today.
The plot was reported by W. V.
Noice of Inglewood who said he
heard two men discuss it at an in
terurban railway station last Mon
day.
He makes a couple grand a
week." Noice quoted one of the
men as saying. Pm sure he can
pay off for the Crosby kid. I al
ways wanted to take a crack at a
crooner, anyway
Noice said he feigned sleep in Or
der to horn in on the converSa-
ton without being detected.
Crosby's brother, Everett, said a
special guard has been employed to
guard the child at the Crosby home
in Toluka Lake. Virtually every pro-
minent film parent in Hollywood
has long employed similar guards to
ward off kidnapers.
