GET MILLION

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 80. W.P)-
Mrs. Constance May Gavin, wife OF
Los Angeles bank clerk, would re-
ceive approximately $i,000,000 from
the James l.. Flood estate under the
terms of the settlement reported to-
day in her suit for daughter IS
share of the Flood mining millions.
Details of the purported settle
ment were published soon after the
third postponement of the trial of
Mrs. Gavin IS legal action in the
San Mateo county court. Attorneys
admittedly have been seeking an
out of court adjustment of the wom-
ans claims for two-ninths of the
S7,500,000 estate.
The unverified terms of settle
ment would give her $4,000 in
cash, shares of stock in the Flood
Realty company, and title to the
Santa Margarita ranch in San Di-
ego county and shares in other
ranches in Mendocino and Marin
counties. The stock is valued at
$l3l a share.

STATE FRUIT
GROWERS ASK
CUT IN RATES

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 80. U.P) -
Representatives of Californias $780,
100000 deciduous fruit industry to-
day appealed directly to President
Roosevelt for assistance in solving
the problem of asserted excessive
transportation costs to eastern mar
ketS.
"A reduction in freight charges to
proper relationship with 1909
1914 consumer costs would enable
California fruit growers to market
the present deciduous tree fruit pro-
duction at a profit in it's natural
and logical outlets" the President
was advised by telegraph.
1--WE therefore appeal to you for
aid in accomplishing a reasonable
relationship and adjustment of pre-
sent rail rates.
The fruit growers also called at
tention to the interstate movement
from California of deciduous fruit
which fell from 1900 cars to IL 200
cars between 1882 and 1888 The
growers estimated that the request
ed rate reduction would result in an
increase of fruit shipments from 80
to 40 per cent.

"Intruders were warned away

was not customary in the time of
Tutankhamen and there was no
curse on his tomb
Herbert E. Winlock, director OF

AIMEE DENIES
SCANDAL TALE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30. U.P) =
Aimee Semple Mcpherson Hutton,
distraught by accusations she was
once threatened with scandal
suit" involving a former attorney,
faced a new ordeal in court today
as trial of a $240,000 breach of con-
tract suit was resumed before Su-
perior Judge Leon R. Yankwich.
The evangelist forced an abrupt
adjournment yesterday shortly af-
ter she opened her defense of the
suit in which she is accused of
breaking a contract to make a mo-
ton picture. The suit was filed in
behalf of the late j. Roy Stewart,
writer and film director.
Mrs. Hutton walked from the
hushed court room and Immediately
afterward word was returned that
she had suffered "fainting spell.
Judge Yankwich adjourned court
until this forenoon.
Hints of an alleged scandal fell
from the lips of Homer Johnstone,
attorney for Stewards estate, after
the evangelist testified breaking the
contract because the writer was
financially unreliable and did not
live up to his agreement to finance
and project"
I'VE intend to prove" the attor-
ney addressed the bench, that the
real reason behind this attempted
rescission was that Mrs. Mcpherson
was faced with the possibility of a
$4,000 alienation of affections suit
by the wife of Cromwell Ormsby.'
Ormsby once represented the
evangelist in her many court af-
fairs.
Before leaving court, Mrs. Hutton
branded the implications as "ab-
surd."
She declared she "never" saw
anyone unless her daughter or son
were present.
The proposed picture was to have
been called CLAY in the Potter's
Hand,' purporting to narrate her
life history.

NEW PLAN Of
RELIEF BEGINS
Government Starts Removal Of
Population From Industrial
Areas To Small Farms.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. W.H--
The administration today embarked
upon a revolutionary social expert
ment designed to move 100000
Americans from congested indus
trial centers and non-productive
farms.
The plan, a product of the
Roosevelt brain trust" contem-
plates the expenditure of millions
of dollars. Lawrence Westbrook
who resigned recently as relief and
civil works administrator for Texas,
will supervise the enterprise.
Federal Relief Administrator Hop
kins said that by long term eco
nomic planning. it is hoped to move
a tremendous stranded population
to new communities. Persons af-
fected by the program include those
who are attempting to make a liv-
ing on sub-marginal lands which
cannot possibly produce CONNER,
cial crops, and others living l.,
communities where there are de-
cadent industries.
Thousands of acres OF poor farm
lands will be purchased by tie
Federal Surplus Relief Corporation
To assure their occupants a living
tie government will offer them q
part-time job; a home and a little
plot of ground, upon which theJ
may grow products for their OWL
use.
Administrator Flopkins said it
was likely that part-time would be
provided for many in the national
forests of the far west, where q
large number of persons are re-
quired to rehabilitate natural re
sources. He indicated that sub
sistence communities would be es-
tabhSEed in or near forests, as the
first step in the program.
The plan is designed to berefi'
anthracite and bituminous miners
of Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky
AND Pennsylvania. II may be,
Hopkins indicated, that this new
type of relief may be offered also
to the industrial classes of certain
large cities, such as Detroit.
Immediate purchase of sub-rar-
ginal lands is planned in the Pied
mont section of Virginia, North
Carolina. Soutl. Carolina, in the
arid midwest and the deforested
area surrounding the Great Lakes.

BOSTON, Jan. 80. U.P)-Even the
elaborate explanations of Egyptolo-
gists exploding the "curse of the
pharoahs" as a myth failed today
to stem speculation among the Gre

the legendary revenge of the Egyp-
tian monarchs.
The noted Psychologist, who was

who either attended the unsealing
of the tomb of Tutankhamen or Wis

1923. Lythgoe was victim of hard

The myth lovers would like to be-
lieve that the Earl of Carnarvon,
who supervised the opening of the
tomb under the direction of Her.
bert Carter, was the first victim Of
the curse" Physicians said his
death resulted from an infected
mosquito bite.
The second to die was George Jay

ly this morning wandering about in
the desolate west end of the. coun-

adjacent territory before they fin
ally found him. The sheriff report
ed that outside of being exhausted

Betschart, who resides in Ell Gen.
tro, told the sheriff that he had
finished his work on a nearby ranch
and then decided to do some pros
pecting in the mountains. He went
to Ocotillo first and left from there
with his outfit for the foothills.
The first indications that any
thing was wrong, according to re-
port at the sheriff's office came late
yesterday when Jim Elliott of the
Boulder Park inspection point, while
driving through Davies canyon,
found a stake in the road with a
sign attached: please stop and Look

Elliott followed the mans tracks
in the sand until evening and then
lost them. He notified the sheriff S
office and Campbell with Fred Ell
lott took up the search this morn
ing. 1t was the sheriff's intimate
knowledge of the foothills that en-
abled him to find Betschart so soon
after starting this morning.
