R0LPHF|GHTS
FOR HIS LIFE
Governor Waging Gallant But
Losing Struggle To Recover
His Health.

SAN JOSE. Calf. May 50. U.P)-
Governor James Rolph, Jr., Cali
fornia's outspoken, colorful chief
executive, clung tenacioIely TO life
today after his physicians aban-
doned hope of saving him
! Five doctors seemed agreed that
the 64-year-old politician can not
long survive the cardiac condition
from which he is suffering. They
gave him from three to five days to
live.
Rolphs amazing vitality pulled
him through a crisis last night. A
stimulant administered by Dr.. Mi
chael Danicich relieved a pulmon-
airy congestion which had hamper
ed heart action. Doctors in attend
ance said the injection saved the
governors life. He fell asleep under
the influence of Sedatives. Yester-
day, when his life was despaired of
several times, members of his fam
lily were called to his bedside in a
Santa Clara valley ranch house.
He appeared to be sleeping natur-
ally early today, Dr. j. NJ Scan
land, San Jose physician, said. His
color was good and his breathing
more normal than usual. Rsspira-
ton and pulse also were near nor
NAL. Liquid nourishment aioed in
reducing the high blood pressure.
Leaving the ranch house, D.. John
Gallwey, Rolph's personal medical
advisor, said that his condition was
very critical.
1T may be a matter ot few
minutes, or of few hours" Gailwey
said.
Sought Rest
The governor made his valiant
battle for life in a setting of his
own choosing. He had gone to the
ranch owned by Walter Linforth,
San Francisco attorney, after col
lapSing at his desk while signing
college diplomas.
In the rambling ranch house in the
quiet valley, the governor sought
the rest which the doctors said was
necessary. He had spent several
weeks at the ranch preceding his
collapse, but his restless, energetic
personality led him back 70 work
against the advice of friends and
family.
The ranch is not far from st.
James Park in San Jose where last
November two kidnap-slayers were
hanged in a lynching which Rolph
declared was a good thing, as les
son showing what happens to kid
napers in California"
The remark was typical of the ef-
fusive politician who served as
mayor of San Francisco for 10 years
before becoming governor of the
state three years ago. His illness
forced him to decide not to seek
reelection. There is. some talk of
his retirement if he survives the
current attack.

Emphasizes Delay


Emphasizes Delay
Donovan pointed out in this in
stance particularly, the tremendous
lapse of time between the collection
and deposit of the money adding
that it is the general rule of busi-
ness operations that when sale is
made and money paid in, this fact
should Immediately be set up on the
books, even if other payments are
to follow.
He was asked whether or not he
had spoken to the district treasurer
concerning this matter and replied
he had done so and was told that
these accounts were for sales pend
ing and that the amounts could not
be set up at once If such deals were
pending. The auditor stated, how
ever, that he had pointed out sew
eral of these sales which had been
completed at the time Of the auth
orization, or shortly afterwards, but
had not been entered on the books.
Promises More Information
Donovan told the board that in
regard to the sales he lad already
investigated he had sent out writ
ten confirinations to buye-s of the
land in question. Some of these have
been returned, he stated, and he is
expecting the remainder within a
few days. When these come in, he
stated, there will be some more in
teresting news for the board TO con-
slider.
It was following this that he re-
ceived authorization from the board
to continue his examination of these
land sales going back to January 1,
1880, as it was the opinion Of the
entire board that the matter should
be cleaned up once and for all and
there was no better time in which
this could be done than right now.
Following the discussion by the
board of the petty cash account set
aside for the treasurers office, es-
timated at between $4,000 and $4,000
the directors unanimously adopted
a motion that for the future, all Of
ficers and employees of the district
should pay their own expenses and
then be reimbursed after each had
made out his own separate expense
account which was to be filed with
the board of directors and approved
by the same.
The board adjourned until Friday
morning at which time it is expect
ed the auditors may be prepared to
make further reports to the board
on these matters.

SENATE GETS
STOCK MARKET
CONTROL BILL

WASHINGTON, May 30. UP
The conference report on the stock
market control bill to bring the
nations securities exchanges under
federal regulation was submitted
to the senate today by Chairman
Duncan U. Fletcher of the senate
banking committee.
The senate will act on the bill
as it has been remodeled by house
and senate conferees before the
measure is again submitted to the
house.
Fletcher planned to call it up at
once in the senate as little trouble
was anticipated in gaining approv-
al. Difficulties were avoided when
a compromise was affected on the
much discussed margin and control
provisions.
AS a result the opposition of
Sen. Carter Glass (Dem.) Virginia,
to the final form of the measure
was withdrawn. Those who plan
ned to join with Glass in demand
ing that a new commission be Gre
ated to administer the bill also
found their battle-ground taken
away from them when President
Roosevelt consented to this form
of control.
AS submitted to the senate con-
ference report provided for thor

the distortion of facts; those who,
| by declining to follow the rules of
the game, seek to gain an unfair
advantage over those who live up
TO the rules; and those few who
still. because they have never been
willing to take an interest in their
fellow Americans, dwell inside Of
their narrow spheres and still rep
resent the selfishness of sectional
ism which has no place in our ma
tional life.''
Cites Predecessors
The President pointed out that
Washington and Jefferson, and
Jackson and Lincoln and Theodore
Roosevelt and woodrow Wilson
sought and worked for that con-
solidated nation.'
"You and ~ he said, "have it
in our power to attain to that
great ideal. We can do this by
following the peaceful methods
prescribed under the broad and re-
silent provisions of the constitu-
ton of the United States.''
Mr.. Roosevelt stopped off at this
sleepy little town where rest thou
sands of men from the North and
South who fell in the battle more
than 10 years ago. His Memorial
day address was delivered not far
from the spot where Lincoln IS
speech was made.
The remarks of the President,
in the main, were of historical
nature.
He said:
"On these hills of Gettysburg,
two brave armies of Americans
once met in combat. Not far from
here, in a valley likewise conse-
Grated to American valor, ragged
Continental army survived a Bit
ter winter to keep alive the expir-
ing hope of a new nation; and
near to this battlefield and that
valley stands that invincible city
where the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was born and the Con-
stitution of the United States was
written by the fathers. Surely, all
this is Holy ground.
Recalls Farewell Address
''It was in Philadelphia, too,
that Washington spoke his solemn,
tender, wise words of farewell-a
farewell not alone to his genera
ton, but to the generation of those
who laid down their lives here and
to our generation and to the Am
erica of tomorrow. Perhaps if our
fathers and grandfathers had truly
needed these words we should have
had no family quarrel, no battle OF
Gettysburg, no Appomattox."
He spoke of the journeys Of
Washington through the 13 states
while President to knit together all
sections by their common inter-
est in great enterprises.
eve are all brokers now in a
new undertaking, the President
said. "The grain farmers of the
west do not set themselves up for
preference as we seek at the same
time to help the cotton farmers
of the south; nor do the tobacco
growers complain of discrimination
If, at the same time, we help the cat
tie men of the plains and noun
tains.o
"In cur planning to lift indus
try to normal prosperity, the farm
er upholds our efforts. And as we
give the farmers long sought
equality, the city worker under
stands and helps. All of us share

erage man. We know that we all
have a stake-a partnership in the

OREGON GETS
CLOUDBURST

GATEWAY, Ore, May 80. U.P)--
A cloudburst which abrurtly ended
long period of draught in this
wheat country left a trail Of des-
truction behind it today.
The storm struck late yesterday
sending a full inch of rainfall down
on parched wheat fields in 20 min
utes and extending the precipitation
far into the night.
Although apparently no lives were
lost, the storm caused a freight
train wreck, drowned livestock
flooded fields and easements, and
filled nearly dry streams to over
flowing.
The heavy rain, growers esaid
came too late and in too great guam
tity to save the wheat crop. already
ruined by the drought.
