seaman aboard the U. S. Kane were
placed under technical arrest by
naval authorities at the request of
police, investigating the ''poison
murdero of Mrs. Wesley Adams,
pretty brunette Tijuana cafe enter
| tainer.
Naval authorities were asked to
aid after the victim IS husband, also
a sailor, was questioned and then
released on his story that his wife
disappeared Saturday night as he
lay in bed at home in a drunken
stupor.
| The two imprisoned seamen were
to be brought ashore later for
questioning Shore authorities de-
clined to reveal what evidence they
had to found their suspicious.
Developments in the puzzling
mystery came fast after the bruised
body of the 25-year-old entertainer
was identified For hours after the
body was found in a thicket of
brush on a lonely county by-road,
it lay without identification in the
county morgue while autopsy sur
geonS discovered the victim had
been poisoned and her body prob
ably flung from speeding automo-
bile.
Identification was established by
the girl IS mother Mrs. Mary Dob
son.
Her husband was taken into Gus
tody and questioned.
Threatened Suicide
According to his story, he and his
wife quarreled Saturday night and
she threatened to kill herself. Adams
said he became intoxicated and
"passed out -. Friends put him to
bed. When he awoke, he said he
found his wife gone.
Police said they learned that Mrs.
Adams earlier in the day was seen
with sailor, known only as 'Joc'.
1t was believed one of the mon held
aboard the destroyer was this ac-
quaintance.
Police said the girl, known as
"Tootsie'', had been employed as
an entertainer at the raucols bor-
der resort for some time.
The body was discovered early
yesterday by Lloyd Carr lying face
up under a clump of brush. Death
had resulted only few hours ear
lier. Authorities at first inclined
to suicide theory but this was
discredited when fresh tire tracks
were found in the sand nearby.
Absence of any signs of strug-
gle led investigators to feel certain
the girl was dead before she reached
the lonely spot They believed the
poison was administered through
some hoax.

REPORT ROLPH
NOT IN DANGER

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5. U.Pl
Anxiety over Governor James
RolphS condition abated somewhat
today as reports of his continued
improvement came from the hoSpi-
tai room to which he is confined by
lung and stomach ailments.
Although admitting that the gov
ernor was still a very sick man,
doctors attending him at st. Francis
hospital here claimed that the most
recent change in his condition had
been favorable
Visitors were denied access to the
executives room. Two Stalwart state
highway patrolmen were on guard
in the corridor outside the Rolph
suite. Only doctors and nurses,
members of the family, and William
Mccarthy, executive, secretary were
permitted within the room.
Mccarthy told the United Press
that the governor had shown steady
improvement since he was brought
here last Thursday from Marysville.
The secretary denied published re-
ports that Rolph might at any
time lapse into perhaps fatal coma.
Physicians joined in these denials.
Rolph himself appeared anxious to
return to his state business. He sent
an emiSsary to Sacramento for
papers which he wanted to read and
sign.
Hundreds of telephone calls and
kilograms inquiring concerning the
executives condition and wishing
him a speedy recovery came from
all parts of the nation.
Mrs, Rolph visited her husband
for a brief time last night when she
left the suite, she appeared greatly
cheered.

He stated further that Triplet.
was too close to miss the wreck and
that no provisions were made at The
fair grounds track to stop cars on
their run after an accident on the
track. He said that there were no
flagmen on the course and that it
was a question if they could have
been seen even if they had been
there because of the dust. Smith, he
said, in hugging the corner SO
closely and striking the Stalled car
was the cause OF the first wreck.

He said he doubted if anything
could have slowed Gordon or Trip

they had no chance to do anything

Roosevelt Uses Fighting Words In Proclaim
ing Necessity Of Recovery And Denying
'Fascism' Claims.

Mr.. Roosevelt said, is to create con-
suming power.
Therefore, give to industry to-
day this challenge: 1t Is the immed-
late task of industry to reemploy
more people at purchasing wages
and to do it now
only thus can we continue re-
covery and restore the balance we
seek. 1t is worthwhile keeping in
the front of our heads the thought
that the people in this country
whose incomes are less than $4,000
a year buy more than two thirds of
all the goods sold here
Makes Complete Survey
1T is logical that if the total
amount that goes in wages to this
group of human beings is steadily
increased, the President continued,
merchants, employers, and investors
will in the long run, get more from
the increased volume of sales"
The chief executive made COM
plete survey of the recovery picture
from start to finish.
He cited the economic situation
when he took office pointing out
that the general attitude was "ev-
cry man for himself; the devil take
the hindmost.'
1T was because the situation in
the line that remedies have to be
applied to every phase of the ILL
ness," he said.
The objective was, as you know.
to apply these remedies in the AM
crican way and not to copy those
which arc being tried in other coun-
tries which do not live under the
same form of Democratic govern
mCnt as ours
Il am always little amused and
perhaps at times little Saddened
and l think the American people
feel the same way-by those few
writer's and speakers who proclaim
tearfully either that we are now
committed to Communism and col
lectivism or that we have adopted
FaScism and dictatorship.
The real truth of the matter is
that for a number of years in our
country the machinery of demo-
cracy h as failed to function.
Through inertia on the part of
leaders and on the part of the peo-
pie themselves the operations of
government had fallen into the
hands of special groups, some OF
them vociferously led by people who
undertook to obtain special advan-
tages for special classes and others
led by a handful of individuals who
believe in their superhuman ability
to retain in their own hands the
entire business and financial con-
troll over the economic and social
structure of the nation
Seeks Greatest Good
The President then compliment
ed the overwhelming majority OF
the component parts of industry in
adhering to the administration
program.
Concerning the National Recov-
cry Act itself, Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
planned that it was drawn with the
greatest good of the greatest num-
Der in mind.
Its aim was to increase the buy
ing power of wage earners and far
mers SO that industry. labor and the
public might benefit through build
ing up the market fer farm and fac
tory goods" Mr.. Roosevelt said.

TOR the twenty-fifth consecutive
time, Albert S. Galley, executive
vice president of the Lincoln
National Bank. was elected treasurer
of the District of Columbia Bankers
Association, at the recent White
Sulphur Springs convention. 1t is an
honor in long service to the associa-
ton which has been attained by no
other Washington financier.
Mr. Galley made his report in per-
son at the sixteenth annual gathering
Of local bankers for an out-of-town
conclave OF course he reported a
favorable balance. He always does.
But this year his financial task was
harder than usual. There were fewer
banks than heretofore, 81 to draw
from instead Of over 40, as was the
case in the old days "befo' the War"
But Treasurer Galley did some very
clever figuring and did not let the
unusual conditions bafIle him. Per-
haps he used very long pencil, per-
haps a short one, at any rate his
fellow bankers were delighted with the
years results. The applause follow
ing his report showed how much his
work for the association was appre-
ciated.
For many years Mr. Galley has been
one of the Capitals most active bank
ers. He has been an official in the
Lincoln National ever since it first
opened its doors many years ago. In
cidentally, the veteran Seventh street
banker is a brother of H. Prescott
Galley, who was recently elected presi-
dent of the National Savings & Trust
Co., when william D. Hoover. became
chairman of the board.
