HOUSE PASSES
STOCK MARKET
CONTROL BILL

WASHINGTON, May 4. U.p)--
The Rayburn stock market control
bill, one of the most bitterly-o
posed measures ever before con-
gress, was passed by the house to-
day and sent to the senate.
AS passed, the bill was virtaully
the same as reported by the inter-
state commerce committee. Its reg
tulation "teeth'' were intact. Vir-
tually all amendments offered were
rejected and none which would
have weakened the bill was accept
ed.
The bill sets a definite margin
requirement of As per cent of the
current market value of securities
Restrictions are placed on the bor-
roWings of members of exchanges,
dealers and brokers. Manipulative
practices designed to mislead or
cheat the investing public are
barred. Brokers and dealers are
segregated. 1t places control of the
nation IS exchange markets with the
federal trade commission.
Before the bill was introduced
President Roosevelt demanded that
congress enact legislation to halt
practices which were charged with
being responsible for the 1929 mar
ket crash. Those who drafted the
bill believe it meets those require
mentS.

WOOD|N DEATH
. BRINGS GRIEF
TOPRES|DENT

WASHINGTON, May 4. UP) =
President Roosevelt was deeply dis
tressed today by the death of Will
liam Woodin, the shy, Puckish mu-
sician- -financier who was his good
friend and first secretary of the
treasury.
AS others treasured the dozens OF
anecdotes which gave clue to the
small secretary's sunny disposition,
the President paid tribute to Wood
ms courage and sacrifice in plac-
ing devotion to his country above
considerations of personal health.
Both the President and Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., secretary of the
treasury, blamed Woodins death
upon the heavy burdens he assumed
in the hectic first days of the ad-
ministration.
A White House statement said:
Both the President and Mrs
Roosevelt have felt deep concern
for Mr.. Woodin's health ever since
the first day in the spring of 1888
when he declined to take adequate
care of an liberated throat and in
sisted upon working day and night
during the financial crisis of the
nation"
I'm reality. he gave his life in SER
vice of his country" said Morgen-
thau.

in action. The mayor and council
of Toronto are providing the site
for the memorial.
The suggestion has been made
that it would be gracious act for
the United States to return this
historic mace TO Canada at the time
of the unveiling of the tablet.
The mace is a token of repre-
sentative government, established
at York nearly a century and a
half ago. 1t symbolizes the orderly
rule Of such government in Canada
continuing from that day to this.
Since the agreement of 1917, the
two countries have by common ac-
cord maintained no hostile arma
ments on either side of their
boundary, and every passing year
cements the peace and friendship
between the peoples of Canada and
the United States.
II heartily recommend to the IA
vorable consideration of the con-
gress the enactment of joint res
olution authorizing the return OF
the mace to the Canadian govern
ment."

Treasurer Calls
County Warrants

In an announcement calling in
all general registered warrants up
to and including No. 1850, George
Varney, county treasurer, states
that all outstanding warrants have
been called in, indicating a better
financial situation.
Tax return this year has been
much better than for several years
and Mont j. Reid, county tax col
lector points out that over 70 per
cent of the total tax has been COL
lected. This figure compares fa-
vorably with that of the return
during periods of prosperity when
the tax return was about IS per
cent The anticipated delinquency
is between 25 and 80 per cent.
An additional factor is said to lie
in the fact that the Riley Stewart
plan has helped the school funds
considerably.

two other daughters, Mrs. o. F.
Harvey, New York, and Mrs. Wal
lace w. Rowe, Cincinnati.
Funeral services will be held at 4
p. m. Saturday at the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian church, members Of
his family announced today.
The body will be taken to Ber-
wick, Pa, for burial.
Mr.. Woodin was one of the most
eniglnatic characters to play a
large part in the American scene.
He was president of the American
Car and Foundry company, inde-
pendently wealthy, but completely
unheard of by the great mass Of
the public when circumstance and
devotion to "the Governor" called
him onto the stage. A lifelong Re-
publican, he became a Democrat to
support his, friend Alfred E. Smith
in 1928. When his friend Franklin
D. Roosevelt, became the Democra-
tic nominee in 1892, Woodin was the
largest contributor to his campaign
fund and his most ardent supporter.
President Roosevelt called Woodin
to direct the United States treasury
when it faced its darkest days since
the civil war. He protested but at
the insistence of "the Governor he
smilingly acquiesced. On his first
day in office every bank in the ma
ton was closed
The strain was too much. After
eight months in office, on October
81, he withdrew from active work
In December he went to Tucson,
where his son had lived for two
years. Physicians said he passed a
crisis there.
President Roosevelt announced his
resignation January l. Woodin
meanwhile remained at Tucson re-
cuperating until March l. He ar
rived home March 4. the first ami
versary of the inauguration.
He continued to improve until
April 2 when he suffered throat
hemorrhage. He was believed i'm
proving until April 10 when he suf-
fered another relapse and continued
to sink slowly each day.

LOS ANGELES, May 4. U.P)-
California agriculture and horticul-
ture will face heavy losses from
drought this year unless the cur
rent months bring IAN unusual
turn in the weather." the Month
ly Business Survey of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce re-
ported today.
Reporting a shortage Of rainfall
ranging from 40 to go per cent for
the season. the survey stated the
losses would extend to livestock
unless heavy rains set in.
Much damage has been done to
non-irrigated feed crops and pas
lures" the report stated. "Cost-
ly pre- planting irrigation has been
necessary for many crops and un-
scheduled irrigation for others. The
mild winter and dry spring have
caused delayed foliation and conse-
quent loss of the entire deciduous
fruit crop in Southern California,
except in the apricot orchards of
Ventura county,
The survey foresaw a "short

K|WAN|S HEAR
FINE ADDRESS
ON FLAX CROP

Flax was the theme of the talk
given this noon by Argyle Mac
Lachlan of Calexico for the XII
wants club at the meeting held in
the Barbara Worth hotel.
The speaker expressed his en-
thusiasm for this new crop which
he believes is one of the biggest
things that has been introduced in
the valley for some time. That it
will provide a source of employ
ment for many and cause farm
lands to yield an increased income
were some of the hopes he has for
this crop.
Although this year there are
10000 acres planted to flax, Mac
Lachlan pointed out that in all
probability 40-50,OOO acres would be
planted next year.
He declared the chief factor aid
ing the valley crop is that the
yield per acre is higher. In the
northern section where flax has
been largely grown heretofore the
yield per acre is 7-9 bushels, while
on the two crops being harvested
in the valley now, the yield per
acre has been $3.50 bushels.
c. G. Montgomery, athletic di-
rector for the grammar schools,
talked on the junior and senior
pentathalons and how they draw
every boy in the schools into par
ticipation. The groups are sifted
down, the pupils taking up various
sports.
The pentathalon opens tomorrow
and winners will compete later in
the county event. Winners in this
latter event will then compete in

that meet will go to Mexico City

lighter found near Shaw's body the
morning after he was killed was the
same as later found on the powder
puff belonging to Mrs. Shaw. Fras-
