VETERINARIANS
To. HELP
7. B. GLE AN Up

Seven state and accredited veter-
inarians arrived in El Centro last
night and will aid in testing cattle
under the bovine tuberculosis erad-
ication program now in effect in
the county. They will work out OF
the county veterinarians office
under the direction of DR.. w. w.
completely ana then move on to
the program in Imperial county
The additional veterinarians who
will aid in the work are Drs. Suth-
erland, Muller, Hull, Kingman,
Julian, Taylor and Gomez and
have been sent here in answer to
the urgent request made of the
state authorities for help in carry
ing out the eradication program.
DR.. Pace, county veterinarian,
stated this morning that with the
arrival of the state men the erad-
ication work will now be carried
out in a more intensive manner.
He asks all stock owners who have
not as yet made applications for
testing of their herds to do so at
once.
He asks further that these stock
men have their herds ready when
the veterinarians come to their
ranches as the procedure to be
followed will be to test one herd
Worcester, who is in charge OF
another without delay. If every
thing is in order when the testers
arrive the first time, Pace stated,
it will simplify the work and make
extra trips to these ranches un-
necessary.
Owners are also asked to be at
home at the time the testers ar
rive so that their work might be
done without delay or unnecessary
returns. Emergency cases will be
handled Immediately and it is hoped
to have all such cases out of the
way within two weeks.
Injections will be given on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, with
observations and readings taken on
Tuesday, Friday and Saturday of
each week until the program is
completed, Pace added. He said
further that owners desiring more
detailed information concerning the
eradication program can obtain
the same at his office in the court
house.

Scenes in Chicago's basement

and his half brother. They expect
ed to receive enough from the thou
sands of dollars pouring into the

no last words, he said. The actress
fretful sleep was suddenly replaced
by an infinite calm. A few close
friends at her side wept, but she
did not hear.
The funeral services will be pri-
vate. Even if the actress had not
requested this her associates would
not have allowed public rites.
They recalled the disorderly
scenes at the funerals of Rudolph
Valentino. Lilyan Tashman, and
other screen favorites.

motor car from Santa Barbara by
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Walker, in
innate friends. 1t was taken to a

Presidents only daughter, today
won an uncontested divorce from
Curtis Dali, New York and Chi
cago broker. -.
Judge Clark Guild granted the

many weeks of sun bathing, ap-
peared to be unmoved by the courts
verdict splitting the marital tie
between herself and the father of
her two children, "Sistie' and
"Buzzie," famous White House

She paid no attention to news
papermen and a few residents of
this quiet town who hod come to the
court house to see the Presidents
daughter.
The hearing was held behind
closed doors. Mrs. Dali entered the
court room at 1105 and the bailiff
locked the doors behind her party.
No one else was admitted. Nine
minutes later she emerged, divorced
from Dali.
Her two children were not pres
ent at the hearing. They had been
left at the Pyramid lake ranch
where Mrs. Dali had spent most
of her six weeks residence in Ne
vada. A negro nurse and secret
service guard were with them.

rights. Terms of the agreement
were not made public but it was
understood Mrs. Dali obtained Gus
tody of the two children and Dali

MARIE DRESSLER'S LONG CAREER
MARKED BY MANY UPS AND DOWNS

ent fatal illness, Hollywood was
glad that, on the occasion of her
64th birthday, November 8, 1888, it
had paid her the greatest public
tribute it had ever given screen
star.
On a huge set at one of the
largest studios a banquet was held
for the comedienne, already suffer-
ing from an incurable disease.
Never was there such an outpour-
ing of notables. Will Rogers was
master of ceremonies. Mary Pick
ford, Canadian born as was Miss
Dressler, attended. So did the Bar
rymores and all the other stars.
The late Gov. James Rolph made
a special trip from Sacramento.
President Roosevelt wired his con-
gratulations; expressed regret at
being unable to be present.
eff could let the world know how
grateful I am for all I have been
given," Miss Dressler said fearful

She would not cut and distribute
the huge birthday cake until pro-

seemed an affectation but none con-
sidered it so when the demand came
from Miss DreSsler.

NAZI POWER is CRUSHED
Wholesale Executions Expected
To Follow Last Weeks Revolt
Against Government.
By STEWART BROWN

A new cabinet, headed towards
Fascism and Monarchism, took
over today in Austria.
The Nazis were crushed and ex-
cept for scattered violence fighting
virtually had ceased all over the
country. Military trial of arrested

was to start today or tomorrow.
Total casualties were estimated
at from 200 to ESQ dead and more
than 1000 wounded.
Otto Planetta confessed he killed
Chancellor Dollfuss. He said he
shot for personal vengeance be-
cause Dollfuss had discharged him
from the army The bullet taken
from Dollfuss' body was fired from
the same calibre gun that Planetta
carried.
A serious international program
! existed over Germany's nomination
of vice Chancellor Franz Won Pa
pen as special minister to Aus
tria. France and Italy were re-
ported to be urging Austria not
to accept Won Papen unless Ger
many gives guarantees against Nazi
interference in Austria. Berlin was
perturbed and annoyed by Austria's
sesitation.
VIENNA, July 80. W.PeThe new
FaScist-Monarchial government of
Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, stamp
ing out rebel Nazis with ruthless
hand, today began the trial of ac-
cused murderers of Chancellor En-
gelbert Dollfuss.
The trial started in a small dingy
room of the justice building before
the special military court which has
power of life and death, with no
appeal. 1t increased tension created
by the governments mop-up of reb-
els after a week of warfare and an
unsuccessful Nazi raid in Vienna to-
day.
The first defendants were ex-
Sergeant Otto Planetta, who police
said confessed to the actual murder
of Dollfuss in revenge for having
been thrown out of the army, and
Franz Holzweber, another Nazi ac-
cused of taking leading part in
the assassination.
After the prosecution had pre-
sented its case against the two men,
court was adjourned to permit the
defense to prepare its case. If con-
victed, the two men probably will
be the first of many Nazis to be
hanged with the prospect of violent
reprisals by their associates.

FEAR TYPHOID
EPIDEMIC IN
DROUGHT AREA
Government Health Officials
Keeping Close Watch On Re-
ports Of Conditions.

WASHINGTON, July 20. (U.H -
Typhoid is stalking hunger and
thirst in the drought-ravaged west,
the U. S. public health service
warned today.
Although not yet of epidemic
proportions, reports from the suf-
fering region show 1,128 new cases
in the past eight weeks, 174 more
than in the same period last year.
Authorities here are studying re-
ports from state health authorities
carefully. A warning was issued to
all living in drought afflicted areas
and to tourists entering these
states.
An indication that the typhoid
danger was scattered, rather than
general, was seen in the fact four
of eight drought states showed
fewer cases than last year. These
states were Oklahoma, South Da-
kota, North Dakota and Indiana.
Missouri had more than 100
cases above last years figure, Texas
almost as many additional ones
and Illinois about so. Nebraska
had seven new cases the same as
last year.
The figure for Missouri was 100
compared with 80, Texas 496 COM
pared with 1913 and Illinois 1913
compared with $50.
While not alarmed over the in
crease in typhoid cases, public
health officers pointed out that
the danger of the disease was
bound to increase with the ex-
haustion of normal drinking water
supplies. In many towns the water
shortage has been too recent to
show any reflection in rising ty-
phoid rates.
BUFFALO, N. July 80. U.P)-
Western New York state took on

alone was estimated in excess of
$2,000,000. The weather bureau saw
no relief in sight.
Many cities and villages in the
section are facing serious water
shortage. Farmers in some districts
have been hauling water.
Dairymen in Chattaragugus coun-
ty will be forced to dispose of be-
tween 10000 to 10000 head of cat
tie before winter because of the
