IMMIGRATION
MEN CAPTURE
MEXICAN PAIR

Adolfo Beltran and Conrado
Leon were arrested by Inspectors
Kelstrom and Nelson of the Immi-
grafton patrol at Truckhaven early
Saturday morning and brought to
the county Jail that afternoon, news
of the capture not being made pub
lie until late Saturday.
The men, both residents of Mexi-
cali, according to records at the
Jail, are said to be the two who
drove through the Mexican and
American control stations at the
border in Calexico Friday night and
made their escape. A Mexican Of
ficer firing at their car shot E. B.
Goodman, local resident, in the
arm.
The car which was driven at the
time the men were arrested had
registration certificate bearing the
name Jose Miranda. Jail officials
believe that Miranda and Leon are
the same person as the description
of Miranda given on the certificate
tallieS with Leon.
They are being held for further
investigation and action by the i'm

FEDERAL MEN SILENT ON RUMOR
DILLINGER BETRAYED BY WOMAN

touch the dead outlaw.
After his body was hauled in a
government automobile to Alexian
Brothers hospital many spectators
even children-got CHASTITY thrill
from dipping their shoes into his
blood.
The crowd grew for hours, linn
cuisines of the Gold Coast and
flivvers carrying whole families
jamming traffic for 10 blocks
around the death scene.
Shooting of Americas No. L
public enemy climaxed a day of
feverish preparation by federal Of
ficers. Chicago police, with their
"Dillinger squad" of 40 picked
marksmen idling at a police head
quarters, were not notified a trap
was planned.
A tip to Purvis started Dilling-
er to his death.
Purvis refused to betray the
source of his information.
Wires hummed between Chicago
and Washington all day yesterday.
. Dillinger's hideout was watched by
the best shadows" of the bureau
of investigation. Five police from
East Chicago, Ind, where Dilling-
er killed a patrolman in a bank
robbery, were summoned to re-
inforce the agents.
Every man of the II detailed for
last nights climax was selected
for his skill with the powerful
police revolver.
At the little Biograph theatre
Purvis personally placed his men.
Some were in the lobby. Two were
| hidden behind nearby automobiles.
Another lounged inside the audi
torium door.
Secrecy was so rigidly maintained
even police of the district were un-
aware of the event impending.
The theatre manager noted the
crowd of obviously excited men,
telephoned the Sheffield police
station that "a dozen or more
dangerous looking men are hang
ing around my theatre"
A squad car carrying four blue
coats arrived just in time to see
the denoucement as Dillinger
walked from the theatre with his
women.
The vain little Dillinger died in
the natty dress of his kind-an
expensive white shirt with silk tie,
gray sport trousers, white shoes.
straw hat.
He wore no coat. His gun bulged
a pants pocket, almost uncon-
cealed in it's outline.

ger vessel since early in May.
President RooSevelt's emlSSaries
who steered peace negotiations to
the present stage, were certain that
the strike will pass into history by
Tuesday.
Sen. Robert Wagner of New York
was confident the longshoremen's
local unions will approve the media
ton play by great majority. Gen.
Hugh johnson, also sent to the
strike zone by the administration
started eastward last night. POST
master General James Farley, third
of the big three" who rushed here
when the general strike crisis devel-
oped, turned from strike conter-
ences to political discussions.
Troops Leave City
Comparative peace already reign
ed in the coast ports. Only scat
tered violence was reported in cities
where clashes between police and
strike picketS and between strike
breakers ad strikers had brought
death. injury and property destruc-
ton.
State troops, rushed to San Fran
cisco bay cities after riot in which
two men were killed July 5, were
on their way home. Today only a
local company of coast artillerymen
and the l59th infantry were on duty
where 400 citizen soldiers once mad
stood guard.
The collapse of the maritime
strike really began when union
truckers in San Francisco voted TO
return to work without any quail
fication. Previously they had re-
fused to handle hot cargo"-that
is cargo unloaded by strikebreakers.
Their stand made the strike effec-
tive. Their return to work removed
its strongest pillar. Oakland last
night followed the lead of their
fellow unionists in San Francisco
by remosing all restrictions of the
kinds of goods they would trans
port.
An about face by shipowners gave
impetus to the movement toward
peace. Previously adamant in their
refusal to arbitrate with all the
10 seagoing unions on strike, the
agreed Saturday to &C
cept mediation provided the long
shoremen would do likewise.

From other sources it was learn
ed that the East Chicago police
man. Martin Zarkovich, met the

weeks ago.
While Dillinger's body lay on a
slab in the county morgue await
ing arrival of his 73-year-old
Quaker father from Mooresville,
Ind. authorities turned to hunt
for the slain desperado's hideout.
They felt sure he had been living
on the near north side in the neigh

from which he emerged to find a
waiting death much like that de-
picted by the gangland melodrama
he had just witnessed.
Their only clues to the place
were a pair of keys tied together

SENDS MONEY
FOR CA 7 TIE

First checks were received at the
court house today from the govern
ment for livestock purchased here
under the drought relief program
and shipped from the valley last
Tuesday, Frank Beyschlag, through
whose office the program is being
carried out, stated this morning.
The checks, six in number, are
drawn on the United States treas
ury. The largest of these is for
s760, the smallest in the amount of
s32. They will be distributed today,
Beyschlag said.
In order to settle rumors which
have been afloat the last few days
concerning the appraising and
slaughter of cattle here, Beyschlag
stated today that the appraisers on
their visits to the different ranches
in the valley are accompanied by
federal inspectors. The latter, and
not the appraisers, are the ones
who designate the animals which
are to be slaughtered.
It is the prevailing practice that
only crippled or otherwise weak
cattle are killed on the ranch. This
is done because such cattle would
be unable to make the trip to Los
Angeles with the stronger animals
and should an attempt be made to
ship this grade of cattle they would
run great risks of being trampled
to death in the cars, according to
Beyschlag.
Another large shipment of cattle
will be made from valley points to-
Gay or tomorrow with others to be
made during the remainder of the
week.

NEW ENGLAND IS | DASHED BY STORM
More Than a Foot of Snow Has Fallen in Most
 Places

Boston, Feb 20-(UP)-All New England was lashed today by sleety snowstprm that threatened tragedy on her rockbound coast, stalled or greatly retarded rail and highway traffic, grounded the army air mail service, and brought death and heavy property damage.
 With three and possibly four ves- sels already ip distress between Cape Cod and Boston in the blind ing storm and ice-littered seas, the weather bureau ordered storm warnings posted as far north as Passport, Me, because of north east and northwest gales which will rage along the coast until tomor- row evening.
 More than a foot of snow had fallen in most parts of New Eng land by mid-morning, but at that time the weather bureau forecast clearing weather by early after noon. This, however, will be follow ed by a new cold wave with the mercury dropping to about zero early tonight.
 Two, and possibly third, of the ships in distress in the storm were in or near Boston harbor. Most serious was the predicament of the New York freighter, Northern Sword. with crew of between 20 and 25 men, which grounded on a narrow ledge off Winthrop, one Of the toughest spots along the coast. The master said the freighter was in no immediate danger and that his men would try to make shore in two lifeboats in an emergency Coast guards stood by SurfboatS at two nearby stations.

City Hall was practically Q de- serted palace. Several of the offices did not open, while others had one Or two clerks on hand. Needless to state there was no rush of callers. business or social, such as is in evidence daily.
 Milk, bakery and oil trucks bat tied their way through the drifts and depths of the snow to make deliveries today. They were hours behind their schedules, but many families were not only surprised, but undoubtedly pleased to receive the benefit of services under such conditions.
 And as for style in wearing, ap- parel! No storm ever brought out a greater variety or more color tul display of wintry toggery Heads that have perhaps never felt the touch of a woolen hat since childhood were encased in these serviceable head-pieces to- day. Eyes peeped through scarfs fashioned from plain and fancy cloths; ears were hidden under ar assortment of protectors, while hip boots, rivaled high leather shoes, rubbers and artics for foot gear. And as for coats, well it took a keen-eyed person today to rec ognize his neighbor as he attempt ed to beat his way through tho storm to work this morning. Some persons got a thrill out o1
 the morning journey to work. They actually 'mushed" along on snow
 shoes and several were seen witt

WHISTLES ENDED
 SCHOOL SESSIONS
Grammar Schools Alone Affected - Few High
 Students Appear

The Whistles that blew at 7:30 this morning meant only that there were no sessions for the grammar schools. High schools, according to regulations, were supposed to carry on as usual, but just handful of the hardy ones reported, and they left after staying around the build ings for a while.
 Fond parents who have children of school age needed only a glance through the frost-covered windows this morning to convince them that little Johnny and Mary were not going out in the weather, school or no Schoor', but the sounding of the whistles made the cancellation official and satisfied even the most scrupulous. According to school department rules, there will be sessions this afternoon unless the whistles blow at 12:4O, but it was obvious late | this morning that there could not possibly be any regular classes this afternoon.
 The unexpected holiday came as a pleasant surprise to school-goers l for it will mean that there are two | free days this week, Thursday
 Washington's birthday, is also holiday.
 It was reported at the higt schools that only few were able
 to fight their way through tho drifts to Crosby, Leavenworth ant Wilby. After staying while to dry out a bit, they proceeded back home, since the scantiness of thu pupils made sessions this morning out of the question.

The issue of The Waterbury Democrat which you are now read ing only goes to prove that the old Journalistic adage, ''The paper has to go", can mean as much in real life as in the movies, on the stage or in booXS.

In the number of those reporting were three young ladies, all from more or ness distant sec tions of the city. The distance rec ord was set, however, by James Calvin of the reportorial force, who slithered all the way from Pearsall- vile.
