SEA MONSTER PUZZLES EXPERTS
Mysterious Creature Washed Up On French
Shore Difficult To Tab

NEW YORK, March 2. U.p)-The
scientific world was as mystified
as ever today over Whatizzit, the
first sea monster to have his pic
ture taken and transmitted by ra-
dio across the Atlantic.
Whatizzit, strange creature 25
feet long and five feet in girth, was
washed up at Cherbourg, France,
climaxing a series of sea monster
reports that promised to label the
winter of 1933-34 in history as the
''year of the great sea monsters.
Here at last was tangible evidence
which might prove whether the
Loeb Ness, Scotland "sea serpent -
and other sea monsters actually
were something hitherto unknown

REQUESTED TO
K|[LRASPUT|N

LONDON. March 2. U.P)-Com-
mander Oliver Locker-LampSon,
war hero and member of parlia-
ment, asserted today that he had
been invited to kill Rasputin, sex
mad Russian monk who once ruled
the Russian court by hypnotic
power.
He was a volunteer witness for
the Neutrality-suspicious. company
in the libel suit brought by Prin-
cess Trina Alexandrovna, wife of
Prince Felix Youssoupoff, who waa
one of the killers of Rasputir,
known in Russia as the holy
devil"
She asserted that the character
Natasha, who in the motion pic
ture film, "Rasputin" is seduced
by the monk, was intended to por-
tray her.
Soon after Locker-LampsonS {
testimony the defense rested its
case. The jury were instructed to
view the film Rasputin this after
noon. Closing speeches will ba
made Monday.
Il was acquainted with RaSpu-
tin," -Lampson said, las well
as with other members of the czal :
ist court. 1t is because of my in
terest in justice, and because l
knew the royal family and Ras-
putin, that I came here.
Il once helped to hatch an un-
successful plot to save the cza-
from Rasputin s influence. l was
actually invited by Vladimir Puri-
Skevitch to murder Rasputin."
Locker-Lampson was an armored
car officer in the World war and
served in Russia and several other
countries He won the British dis
tinguiShed service order.
After his direct testimony he was
chided by Sir Patrick Hastings, de-
fense counsel, who intimated that
he was seeking publicity.
You haven't come here merely
to tell us that you were asked to
kill Rasputin?" Hastings said. You
will be in the papers even more
prominently than as a member Of
parliament if you go on like that,
you know"

CLOSE WATCH
ON GOVERNOR

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.
U.P)-Physicians kept close watch
today over the condition of Gov.
James a Rolph, Jr., confined to
ST. Francis hospital here for badly
needed" rest and treatment.
Although processing not to be
alarmed, the executives medical
attendants sought to prevent re-
currence of the bronchial pneu-
monia which had held him, an un-
willing patient, in the same hos
pital suite for several weeks last
autumn.
Medical bulletins revealed that
Rolph was suffering from a mild
congestion of the lungs and from
a marked CASTRO o-inteStinal disturb
ance.
He was brought here in an auto
mobile from Marysville, where he
was stricken i'll while making a
good will tour of the state. Too
many speeches, too many banquets
and a midnight meal OF creamed
chicken and mushrooms prove d
too much for the head of Califor-
MAS state government.
The governor smiled wanly as
he was transferred from the auto
mobile to wheel chair to be lift
ed in the hospital elevator to his
sixth floor suite. His derby hat
perched at a jaunty angle, his
familiar flower and shiny boots in
their places, Rolph strove to re-
assure those who witnessed his
arrival that he was "all right"
An immediate examination was
made by DR.. E. E. Gray MarySville
DR.. Harold E. Fraser and DR.. John
Graves. They found a Slight tenn
perature increase due to the auto
ride" and reported that Rolph was
in great need of absolute rest
Late last night they reported
that the executive had taken
small amount of liquid nourish
ment and was resting quietly.
Hospital authorities reported that
the governor apparently slept well
during the night. Mrs. Rolph oc-
cupied a room on the same floor.
The doctors planned to keep
Rolph in the institution for three
or four days at least. They anti
cipated difficulty in persuading
him to remain, for even when he
had to be helped into the auto
mobile for the trip here he in
sisted that he should go to Sac
ramento to attend to business.

CENTER
Of KISS ROW

SACRAMENTO, March 9 U.P)-
Partially charges and working
hours kissing complaints which
have swirled around the heads of
executives of the state printing
plant today appeared to be centered
on James F. Lyon, foreman of the
copy room, as ROLAND A. Vande-
grift, director of finance, prepared
to take definite action.
Following a conference with Har-
ry Hammond, state printer, Vande-
grift said that conditions in the
proof room need to be cleared up'
inasmuch as complaints against
Lyon relative to the kissing of wom-
en- employees and partiality in the
distribution of work "appear to be
ISubstantiated.
Despite rumors current here VAN
degrift said that none of the COM
plants presented to him named any
other of the plant executives.
The finance director planned to
confer with Lyon and his attorney
today before either referring the
matter to the civil service commits
sion, or asking for Lyons resigna-
ton or transfer. He also said he
expected to talk to some of the
women employees of the proof room.
While Hammond previously had
made reference to more serious
charges, Vandegrift said there was
"no evidence of immortality, but dis
turbed conditions require the appli-
cation of corrective measures.
In replying to other charges
aimed at conduct of the printing
plant, Vandegrift quoted from the
state printer IS report in which he
secuted the accusation that party
girls' were furnished to go on
dates with legislators on the ground
that civil service made such prac-
tice impossible.
Hammond IS report also stated
that state printing has been sent
to private companies only when it
was specially job for which the
state plant could not compete.
The report also stated that the
hour coSt' of the plant was less
than that of most commercial
plants, but suggested the appoint
ment of a printing cost expert to
make comparative study. Vande-
grift said he favored such an ap-
pointment.

FOUR FORMER
RESIDENTS Of
VALLEY HELD

LOS ANGELES, March 2. U.H -
Police today considered whether to
place charge of kidnapping against
Ed Davis, admitted Oklahoma bad
man, and two companions, following
their identification as the trio
which assertedly abducted and
robbed a grocer here last month.
Davis, wanted for escaping from
two state prisons and also for ques-
tioning in connection with the Kan
sas city depot massacre last June
and two companions, Herschel
Wynne. alias John Richards, and
William Morris, both of Imperial
Valley, were arrested here Wednes-
day.
J. j. Bell. grocer, charged the
three men kidnapped him near his
store on February % and forced
him to return and open the safe
from which they took $140
Meanwhile Davis faced further
questioning by federal authorities
Also held were Morris wife and
Ruth Spurgeon, both also said to
re Imperial Valley residents.
The Morrlses appealed TO United
States Attorney Utley, who had rep
resented them in legal action pri-
or to his appointment. Utley said
he was convinced that they had
no connection with Davis.
cit is unfortunate, Utley said
that the Morris were with Davis
when he was arrested. They are
longtime respected residents of the
Imperial Valley, and I'm certain
had no real connection with Davis.
The Morrises, mentioned in the
above dispatch. formerly operated
the Texas cafe in Holtville, but
left that cicy ABOUT year ago
Wynne is we'll known in Ell Centre
and worked III several restaurants
here up to about five years ago
when he went to the coast. Ruth
Spurgeon, also mentioned in the
dispatch, formerly lived here.

Convinced That Disarmament Agreement

and matching her in vast expendi-
lures on aerial armamentS.
The estimate figures-for the fis-
cal year beginning April l-were
but little above those for the cur
rent year. But they were held low
cnly because Britain is making a
final effort to break the long dis
armament deadlock between Ger
many and France.
1t was learned that Britain as
part of the plan is considering the
advisability of calling before the
meeting of the disarmament steer
ing committee April 10 special
conference of big powers. The fol-
lowing would be included:
United States, Japan, Russia
Britain, France, Italy, Germany
Belgium, Spain, Poland and one
representative of the little entente
nations (Czechoslovakia, Roumania
and Jugoslavia).
1t was revealed also that within
the next year Britain will build a
squadron of great flying boats ''to
be stationed overseas. 1t was ru-
mored widely that the station would
be Singapore, the powerful naval
base on which many millions are
being spent because of its strategic
Importance on the vital sea route
between India and Australia and
New Zealand.
I Air force estimates, for the fls-
cal year beginning April l, provide
for total expenditure of f20, 1865 SOC
($102, ,491 ,662)-but f527 900 ($2,678,-
47O above those for the current
fiscal year.
Their significance, however, lay
in an accompanying memorandum
by Lord Londonderry, air minister.
Londonderry statement implied
beyond doubt that Britain would
defer it's previously threatened
building program only TO give the
continental powers a chance to end
the deadlock in disarmament nego-
tiations.

SAN LUIS OPISPO, Calf, March
2. U.P)-A "toadstool" dinner of

of the Filipinos, employed as let
tuce pickers on the ranch of Wal
ter and Jack Huber, three miles
south of Arroyo Grande.
Previously nine of the Filipinos
had succumbed in agony. The re-
naming men, including the Hubers,
are too sick to relate details of their
fatal meal.
DR.. F. Hilton Smith, county phy-
sician, has the men under treatment
in the county hospital here, but he
declared there was no antidote at
this late stage to halt the ravageS
of the poison which caused yellow
atrophy OF the liver.
DR.. Hilton said four of the two
dozen who ate the toadstoolS had
chance to live. They included the
Hubers
A mass funeral has been arranged
for Saturday morning for those al
ready dead and any more who might
die before that time.

sought scale Of 81 per hour for a
