Of
GETTLE FACE
COURT. AGAIN

LOS ANGELES, May 90. U.P)-
Speedy justice for the kidnapers of
William P. Gettle today maintained
it's rapid-fire tempo as a federal
court jury for the trial of the con-
victed trio and their two girl
friends, facing charges for the first
time, was selected in less than 80
minutes.
Only IA men were called into the
jury box in Federal Judge Paul j.
Mccormick IS court in the selection
of the u to hear the trial, the
other two talesmen having been
excused at their own request for
personal business reasons.
United States Marshal Robert
Clark, veteran and picturesque
western peace officer, himself had
headed the picked guard which
brought the three men. James
Kirk, Roy Williams and Larry Ker-
rigan, to the court room from the
county Jail where they had been
held since their return from San
Quentin prison for the trial. A
Jail matron augmented the guard
for the two girls, Loretta Woody
and Mona Callighen, in the court
room where the five face two counts
of mailing ransom demands and
one count of conspiracy.
Conviction would mean possible
42-year prison terms for the two
girls but would mean that the men
would spend all the days of their
lives at San Quentin, barred from
parole by the federal counts hang
ing over them.
With selection of the jury, the
clerk began reading the indict-
ment against the three men and
two girls and the prosecution in
dicated its first witness, probably
would be Gettle himself.

Nearly 200 Cases.

LOS ANGELES, May 80. W.P)-
The peak of the current epidemic

inc content in swim>ing pools, the
closing of all Wading pools, the use
of common cups among labor
crews, and common towels at golf
course tees.
Orders were sent out prohibiting

lutely essential such as commence
ment exercises.

tin, superintendent of the General
hospital, received approval of the
board of supervisors for a special

purchasing agents, and from the
general fund, for the purpose.
Extraordinary expenses in ad-
dition to the fact that at present
We are in the throes of an epidemic

pated, it may be necessary to later
request additional funds. makes

Los ANGELES
WILL. TRY OUT
DOLE SYSTEM

LOS ANGELES, May 90. W.P)-
For the first time in its history,
Los Angeles county will inaugur-
ate a cash dole, Friday, for The
care of its unemployed.
The dole system will be insti-
tuted as test in the Pomona dis
trict, affecting 1900 persons.
Instead of receiving food baskets
and rent guarantees, as under the
present system, the needy families
will receive county checks circu-
lated to cover all expenses of liv-
ing
The amount of the charity
checks will be slightly larger than
the actual cost Of each charity
case to the county at present, which
now average little more than $25
a month. This increase will take
care of the difference between
the wholesale price on staples
available to the county and the re-
tail price which charity recipients
will have to pay.
1t is estimated the doles will run
around $50 for an average family
Of four persons.
The checks will be issued for one
month S aid to persons now on the
county charity rolls in Pomona,
Earl E. Jensen, superintendent of
county charities, announced.
"During the month a careful
study will be made Of effect of the
change to ascertain whether the
cash payment system is more ad-
vantageous than that now in prac-
tice.' Jensen said.
Several phases of the dole sys-
tenn will be especially scrutinized.
Careful checks will be made to de-
termine how many recipients of
cash payments fail to pay for their
utilities and their rent; how many
men squander the cash and allow
their families to suffer, whether the
county can save money by giving
cash instead of aid in kind; and
which system the recipients them
selves prefer

tDollar Days. one of the most
popular merchandising stimulators
developed in recent years, have been
conspicuous in Ell Centro by their
absence, though they have a prom
inent place on the calendar of mer-
chants in other valley cities and
throughout the nation.
Now Ell Centro is to have "Dollar
Days. on Friday and Saturday OF
this week.
Contrary to the impression held
by some, "Dollar Days" are not
an opportunity for the merchants
to get rid of accumulated "junk. -
They are, on the other hand, the
signal for new merchandise to be
stocked and offered for sale.
Merchants cooperating in El
Centro's "Dollar Days. program,
sponsored by The Press, have been
active for several weeks past pre-
pairing for the occasion. Numer-
Gus articles necessary for the home
or the person, have been purchased
and will be offered for sale at a
dollar-the idea being to give pa
irons a chance to get real bar
gain for each dollar they spend.

TAX WILL BE
TRIED A YEAR

WASHINGTON, May 20. UP)-A
years trial of the disputed cocoanut
oil tax was expected today before
congress will get around to consid-
ering serious questions raised by
President Roosevelt.
Legislators saw no prospects of
any further action on the matter at
the present session.
The tax which the President be-
lieves violates the spirit of the Phil
ippine independence agreement is of
vital interest not only to 3,000,0 600
FilipinoS who make their living by
growing cocoanutS but also to the
American farmer.
The revenue act imposes Scent
a pound processing tax on Philip
pine cocoanut oil and scent tax
on other imported oils. Theory of
the law is to increase domestic con-
sumption of American butterfat and
animal fats.
Rep. A. G. Shallenberger, Dem)
Nebraska, original sponsor cf the
measure, claimed that Philippine oil
was diSplaclng the product OF the
American farmer in manufacture of
margarine and soap.
Philippine interests contend the
tax amounts to an embargo since it
amounts to more than the cost of
the Oil itself. The Tydings- -McDuf-
fie Philippine independence act pro-
vided for the annual duty-free i'm

u. s. And Cuba
Sign NeW Treaty

WASHINGTON, May %. GJ.P) -
The United States and Cuba late
today signed new treaty governing
their political relations which scrap
ped the contentious Platt amend
ment and in the eyes of Cuban pa
triots elevated Cuba to the full sta
tus of sovereign and independent
nation.
The new treaty, replacing that
which has governed political rela-
tions between the United States
and Cuba for the last 80 years;
pointedly omitted a number of sti-
pulations contained in the old trea-
ty, particularly in that portion
known as the Platt amendment.
The most Objectionable article
from the Cuban point Of view IN the
old treaty gave the United States
the authority to intervene in Cuba
for the preservation Of Cuban in
dependence.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 90. U.P)
The strike committee of the In
ternational Longshoremens Union
on the Pacific coast today de-
nounced peace offer" submitted
as basis of settlement for their
strike and said the committee had
reached the conclusion that "it
was futile to discuss it further"
The committee issued a brist-
ling statement in which it denied
that the strike had been settled"
and predicted that the "walkout
probably will involve other unions
which have no connection with
the marine industry"
"The possibility of a general
strike on the Pacific coast is al
most a certainty" the statement
said.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 90. U.P)
"A peace plan emerged today from
mediation conferences conducted
within sound of the most serious
rioting of the Pacific coast mari
time strike.
While police and strikers battled
fiercely on the San Francisco wa
terfront, representatives of the
shipowners and the International
LongshoremenS association reach
ed compromise agreement. If the
union membership approves it, the
plan will end the strike and relieve
the stagnation of shipping from
the gateway to the Orient.
The compromise calls for recog-
milton of the 1. L. A. A. as the rep
resentative of the dock workers in
collective bargaining. 1t gives the
union equal authority with ship
owners in the operation of hiring
halls at which the longshoremen
are assigned to various SHIPS.
The union demand for a closed
shop, however, is rejected in the
provision that no discrimination
shall be shown worker whether
he belongs to union or not. Ar
bitration of wage and working
hour demands through President
Roosevelt's mediation board also
is provided.
Local unions of the longshore-
men in each Pacific coast port will
vote on the proposal Immediately.
Leaders promised tabulation of
the referendum by late Friday.
Joyph P. Ryan, president of the
/. L. A. was confident the plan
will be adopted unanimously by the
locals.

SReQ OF Jne SJdUe bureau VI cIlIlllIl-
al identification.
SACRAMENTO, May 90. U.R) =
Conflicting evidence of murder and
suicide puzzled police today as they
tried to solve the mystery of the
death of pretty Virginia Johnson,
22-year-old daughter of Charles G.
Johnson, state treasurer and candi-
date for governor.
The girls body was found on the
floor Of a garage behind an apart
ment building in the residential Sec
ton. Kerosene had been poured over
her clothing, and a match applied.
Her features were burned almost
beyond recognition.
Police, while inclining to believe
an atrocious murder was committed,
considered also the theory of suicide.
Matches found on the floor of the
garage were of the same brand as
those used in the Johnson home.
Position Of the body, however, in
dicated the girl was unconscious or
dead when the torch was applied to
her clothing. She apparently did not
move while flames burned her.
Condition of the body was such
that physicians could not determine
whether she had been slugged un-
conscious, poisoned or otherwise
harmed before she was burned.
Plan Autopsy
An autopsy later was expected to
disclose the cause of death.
All resources of the police, detec-
tive and district attorneys offices
were turned toward solution of the
mystery today An all-night inves-
tigation failed to reveal but meager
clues.
Two score detectives went out on
the case again this morning. They
planned to examine in detail the
girls room for any additional clues;
any notes or diaries which might in
dicate whether she feared anyone,
or whether recent illnesses had
made her respondent enough to
seek death.
They also resumed their search OF
the garage and vicinity, hoping to
find witnesses who might have seen
/, the young woman or heard screams.
The garage where her body was
found is only four blocks from her
home. Thus far, there was nothing
to show how or why she had gone to
the garage, whether accompanied or
alone.
