BY FREDERICK A. STORM

MIAMI, Fla, April president
Roosevelt began the second week
of his ocean-going vacation today
in pursuit Of what he termed the
elusive marlin"
The marlin, prize denizens of tro-
pic waters were sought in the lee of
Elbow Key in the Bahamas, the best
fishing spot Mr.. Roosevelt has
found on his cruise aboard Vincent
Astor's yacht Nourmahal.
1t was expected that the presi-
dental party would remain at the
key for at least another day or two
before trying their luck at other
grounds.
The President was following no
set routine aboard the Nourmahal,
preferring to take life easy, fishing
when he felt like it, reading occa-
Sionally in the shade of the quar-
terdeck awnings, conversing with
friends in the party and mapping.
He usually arises about o'clock,
has leisurely breakfast of orange
juice, eggs, toast and coffee AID
then goes out on deck where the
first bulletins on Washington devel-
opments are handed him. Then fol-
lows the replies to temporary White
House offices here.
After disposing of this official

business Mr.. Roosevelt usually ga
theirs with Aston and the others for
a smoke, discussing the catch of the
trip and prospects.
Leads Simple Life
Later the boats of the Nourma-
hal are swung over the side, fish
ing tackle baited and the days
sport begins. Mr.. Roosevelt is &C
companied either by Gus Genner-
ich or Rollin Clark, secret service
men and veterans of otner angling
expeditions with him. Both are ex-
pert fishermen.
The time they remain away de-
ponds on the luck and the weather.
If the sport drags the boats usual
ly return to the Nourmahal where
the President has his luncheon, fol-
lowed by reading.
Frequently the boats put out
again in the late afternoon for more
fishing.
In the evenings after dinner the
group, headed by the President ga
ther on the quarter deck for smok-
ing and to hear news bulletins. The
fishermen usually retire early.
There is little or no formality on
the trip. Mr.. Roosevelt prefers his
Oldest yachting clothes, a battered
white hat, soiled white trousers and
a white shirt, open at the neck.

Winterhauen To
Get Cell Block

No money, no cell block; no cell
block, no Jail; no jail-plenty of
worry.
This was the problem confront
ing Winterhaven citizens yesterday
when a delegation of them appear
ed before the supervisors yesterday
afternoon. After much discussion
the problem was cleared up salts
factorily to all concerned.
Here is the difficulty. The four
cell block was in Yuma where it
had been purchased from that city.
The demand for same presented by
the Arizona city was in the court
house. The people of Winterhaven
wanted their cell block, Yuma quite
naturally wanted its money. The
supervisors authorized the release
of the demand and now the cell
block can be moved across the Col
orado and take up its new home in
the Winterhaven Jail Cost of the
block is $3.50.

Former Resident
On Gallup Council

A former resident of this city,
Tom Malarkey, has been elected a
member of the city council in Gal
lup, New Mexico, according to in
formation received here.
Malarkey was resident of Ell
Centre up to six or seven years ago,
being employed by Leo Heczel IN
his photography business. After he
left here he settled in Gallup and
received national attention some
years ago when he obtained the first
photographs of the disastrous TAT
planewreck near Gallup in which 10
lives were lost.
1t is somewhat of a coincidence
that his former boss is also a can
didate for the local city council. In
notifying Hetzel of his success Ma
larkey expressed the hope that the
local man would be equally success

COUNCIL GIVES
POSITION On
ONE MILL TAX

In order to put itself clear on the
question of the one mill tax which
is to appear on the city ballot next
Monday, the city council last night
passed the following resolution:
Whereas, certain citizens and
members of the chamber of COM
merce have criticized the act of the
city council placing upon the bal
lot the proposition of repeating or
retaining ordinance No. BIT, which
provides for the levy of a tax of
10 cents upon each 500 of valua-
ton of all taxable property in the
city Of Ell Centre to be used only
for music, park and advertising
purposes and commonly referred to
as the "Chamber of Commerce
fund.-
And whereas the city council de-
SireS to define its act and its posi-
ton in regard to said act, to point
out that so large number of cit
liens and taxpayers had approach
ed members of the councils and
other city officials requesting an
opportunity to vote upon said ordi-
nance No. BIT, that the council de-
cided that such opportunity should
be given them.
And whereas, though the city
council has had the power to re-
peal this ordinance at any time since
its enactment by the passage of an
ordinance repeating the same, it
was the opinion of the city council
that since said ordinance No. BIT
was enacted as result of vote
of the people, the people should be
given the opportunity of expressing
their opinion by the ballot.
Nov therefore be it resolved
that the city council define its act
and its position as having acted, in
its opinion, to the best interests
of the city, and that it submitted
the proposition without recon-
mendation and without prejudice. "
Highest praise for General Pei
ham Glassford, commenting partic-
ularly on his justice and fairness,
was contained in communication
read to the council. The letter
came from H. N. McAshan, Glen
dale, Calf, and stated that the
writer had served under Glassford
as private in the United States
army. McAshan stated that in his
opinion Glassford was the right
man to aid the valley in its prob
lens. After the reading the letter
was ordered filed.
The matter of renewing the state
compensation insurance which COW
ers employees of the city, protecting
the city in case of accident to these
employees was considered. A notice
from the state board was received
stating that the present policy will
expire on April %. The matter will
be brought up again at the next
meeting on April 10.

General Glassford stated that in
the whole matter it was essential
that officials and all others should
keep within the law at all times.

FLOOD TOLL
ON INCREASE
Fear Sixteen Perished When
Oklahoma Stream Goes On
Wild Rampage.

ELK CITY, Okla, April 5. up
Bodies of nine Washita river flood
victims were recovered today and
eight more persons were missing,
as waters of the stream dropped
after a 36 hour rampage along a
25 mile path
1t was feared the death toll would
reach at least 16 and that property
damage would total more than
100000.
ELK CITY, Okla, April 5. U.P)-
Another rise reported coming down
the swollen Washita river, which
apparently has claimed 10 or more
lives and inflicted property damage
upwards of 81 100000, threatened to-
day to hinder the search for bodies
and the check of persons believed
drowned.
Seventeen persons were unac-
counted for. Only one body had been
recovered, that of Stella Mae Fent-
er, 10. But hope had been abandon
ed for Mrs Arthur Adams and her
five daughters and for four other
members of the L. L. Fenter FAM
lily.
The flood struck during a heavy
rainstorm, accompanied by crashing
thunder. So great was the noise of
the storm that when rushing waters
left the low banks of the river, the
approach of the flood was unheard.
Loss of livestock was heavy. Wreck
ed farm houses. or empty founda-
lions on which they had rested, dot
ted a seyen-mile stretch of the ri
yer bottom. Miles of railroad track
were washed away and rail and
highway bridges were destroyed by
the raging waters.
National guardSmen, Red Cross
workers, state and county authori-
ties united in rescue work. More
than score of persons were re-
moved from trees and housetops on
which they had perched.
Arthur Adams, husband and ia
Their of the missing family, saved
himself and year-old daughter by
grabbing the Orders of a bridge
against which their home was
smashed to pieces. Hurl, a son, also
saved himself, but the mother and
five girls ranging in age from 5 to
Is were swept away,
Added to the storm toll was the
death of Fred Wheeler, railroad sec
ton foreman, killed near Krebs,
Okla, by lightning.
Relief was slow organizing as pow
er and telephone lines to nearby
towns were washed away and most
highways were impossible because
of wrecked bridges.

chief engineer, concerning the die
sel-electric power plant for which
a contract was signed by the direc-
tors yesterday.
The subject matter of this discus
sion was the proposed location OF
the standby plant and by an agree
ment of the board all reference to
any special location within the val
ley was stricken from the state
ment This action, however, was not
taken by a vote, as directors felt
they did not want the matter to be
taken across the table"
Evan HeWeS, Chairman of the
board and M j. DoWd, chief engin-

NEW APPEAL
Attorneys Protest To Turkish
Courts On Proposed Extradi-

BY F. G. NJ. JAIN
United Press Staff Correspondent

ISTANBUL, Turkey, April 5. UP)
Samuel insult puffed at Turkish
cigarettes and read the London
newspapers today while his law
yers, armed with $4,000 from Lon
don, fought on for his freedom.
Despite statements of authorities
that they meant to eXtradite In
sull to the United States for trial
no matter what his lawyers do, the
attorneys found new grounds for
appeal.
They protested to the supreme
appeals court at Eskicher that In
sull's arrest itself was illegal, as
was the order on which it was
made. They also demanded his
release on bail, a demand which
the authorities SO far showed no
disposition to grant.
But the 74-year-old utilities
man, his morale higher with the
arrival of the $4,000 from his
London agents, slept soundly last
night, having been advised by cable
that the money-a great sum now
to the man who once had $780,
100000 and laviShed funds on
grand opera-waS enroute.
Turkish authorities, though eX-
pressing determination to send In
sull home to answer charges of
fraud in the collapse of his utili-
ties companies, remained most con-
siderate of his comfort.
At the order of Kenan Bey, chief
state prosecutor, modern wood
burning stove was substituted for
the primitive charcoal burning one
in insults comfortably furnished
room in the detention house.
LONDON, April 5. U.p) - The
Daily Telegraph reported today
that Samuel Insults funds were
coming from almost inexhaustible
sources Friends in Great Britain
had raised many thousands of
pounds for him as did persons in
the United States, likely to be in
volved if he was tried in the
United States, and hence willing
to send any reasonable sum to keep
him away. The newspaper added
that if he were returned there
would be plenty of money for his
defense.
