The 'profit" in question accrued
through bookkeeping operation when
the amount of gold fixed by law as the
equivalent of 81 was reduced from
1922 grains to 1871 grains. This meant
that an ounce Of gold was worth $20.67
one day and the next had a value
Of $35.
Just previously the treasury had
taken title to all the monetary gold
in the country, paying for 1t at the
$20.67 rate. On every ounce it made
"profit" Of $14.33, the difference be-
tween the purchase figure and S35.
The secretary gave in figures his
estimate of the cost Of the New Deal.

1T is planned to either exchange

was appointed attorney for the I'm
perial Irrigation District at an adj
journed meeting of the board OF
directors held this morning. Hor-
ton succeeds Charles l.. Childers
whose resignation from that post
was accepted by the board just pre-
yious to Horton IS appointment.
This action of the directors which
has been expected for some time
past, nevertheless came rather sud-
denly at this mornings meeting
which had been adjourned from
yesterday afternoon for this ex-
press purpose. 1t followed a dis
cussion by the board of several
matters pertaining to insurance
policies carried by the district and
other items of a routine nature.
With the conclusion of this bus
mess. Director A. j. Kalin, Brawley,
brought up the matter of the pro-
posed change in the districts legal
department. He asked that Chill
ders tender his resignation to be
effective on June IS.
Childers stated that he already
had his resignation on file with the
secretary of the board and this
was found to be true, there being
document to this effect signed by
him and dated July 7, 1893, which
asked that the resignation be ef-
fective as soon as the board could
conveniently appoint his successor
He did not agree with the pro-
posal that his resignation should
become effective only on June Is,
stating that the new attorneys
should assume the responsibilities
of legal actions now pending by
the district and that he should not
be responsible for these although
he wished to cooperate with the
board to every possible extent. In
his opinion this resignation should
be considered as being effective
Immediately.
Evan T. Hewes, chairman of the
board stated that he felt Childers
to be correct in his stand and there
upon Kalin revised his motion ask
ing that the July 7, 1888 reSigna-

ing further that Harry w. Horton
be appointed to the post thus COM

he will not seek reelection.
Illness forced the decision from
the reluctant Rolph, the effusive,

years as mayor of San Francisco.
Physicians warned Sunny jim
that to go through an ardouS pri-

Francis hospital only yesterday af-
ter his third attack of illness since
last fall. Friends, close advisers and
members of his own family joined
in persuading Rolph to announce
his retirement from politics. He in
sisted, however, on serving out the
term, which ends next January.
The 64-year-old governor an

AbDUCTORS OF
GIRL SOUGHT
Federal Government To Aid
Arizona Authorities Seek Men
In Robles Case.

TUCSON, AriZ., May 16. U.P)-
Ace federal and state investigators
today pushed search for the KID
napers of six-year-old June Roblas,
as their child victim rapidly re-
covered from imprisonment in a
hot desert hole.
Experts from Washington joined
Arizona and Tucson authorities in
examining clues and running down
leads impaired in the little girl s
own story of 10 terrible days she
spent in the kidnapers hands.
She retained slight limp from
an ankle lacerated by the chain
which bound her in a filthy hole in
the desert, nine miles from her
home. The effects of exposure in
blistering sun and scant, improper
foods almost had disappeared.
Federal agents pursued warm
ing trail with the Identification of
two garbage cans found in the des-
ert cage from which the girl was
liberated.
Two unnamed suspects, both with
police records, were said to be under
surveillance.
First results of the intensive in
vestigation came when Steve Col
lobe, a rancher, identified the cans
as having been stolen from his
home on May 13, the day before
June was rescued.
The development puzzled invest
igators in view of the child IS story
that she spent the entire 10 days of
her captivity in the cage, and the
last few days without seeing visit
or. One of the cans had provided
her with drinking water. Many
believe she was locked in the
prison. at a much later date to
permit her kidnaperS a full chance
to escape.
In the hope of finding some
hideaway of the kidnapers, Indian
trackers were placed on the trail,
starting at the desert hole. In
vestigators found a deserted cabin
nearby which they believed provid-
ed the kidnapers with living quar-
ters for some time. The cabin
showed signs of recent occupancy
and commanded a clear view of the
"prison' and of the surrounding
countryside for miles.
While June said "the men, Wis
tied her only three times, the cabin
showed evidences of having been
used daily, investigators reported.
The trail of one of the kidnapers
faded into Chicago where map
was mailed last Thursday with di-
rections leading to the kidnapped
girl S recovery. Agents believe the
writer had at least one accomplice
who remained in Tucson.
