PEACEFUL END
FOR HOLMES
Aged Jurist And Civil War Hero
Succumbs At Washington To
Brief Illness

WASHINGTON, March G. Up -
Oliver Wendell Holmes, for 90 years
4 supreme court justice, lost his gal
liant fight against death today. He
dled peacefully in his quiet / street
home at 2:l5 a. m. =.
Funeral services will be held Fri
day-the Gath birthday OF the
great liberal"-at All Souls church
i'll Washington. Burial will be with
lull military honorS at Arlington
rational cemetery. ~.
Dissenter to the last, the beloved
former justice clung doggedly to
the life he had lived so fully and
loved so we'll. Pneumonia wore
down his strength and he died with
a few friends gathered about him.
THE end was as peaceful as
have ever seen," Dr. Thomas Clay
tor, his physician, said.
Holmes contracted a severe cold
en- an automobile ride, one of his
few outside diversions, a week ago.
Last Thursday his illness was dag
noSed as pneumnola.
The first official bulletin issued
from the modest red brick house on
l street was issued then by Mark
Howe, a former secretary of the
jurist. THE justice is i'll and at his
age all illness is serious" Howe said.
Oxygen tanks weer taken into the
house to aid Holmes in his gallant
fight for life. He grew steadily weak
er. Early yesterday he sank into a
coma. Life ebbed slowly away.
Friends we're summoned to his bed
side at midnight.
DR.. Clayton arrived shortly after
2 a. m. A score or more of watchers
waited with barred heads outside.
Howe emerged at 220 a. m.
The justice is dead" he said
simply, his voice choked with emo
ton.

Committee On
disqualification
Studying Data

Supervisor Hugh Osborne gave
very interesting talk recently before
committee of the farm bureau
and home department, which is
studying the problem of hoSpitaliza-
ton and medical care. He reported
findings made in other counties
relative to county hospitals which
are extending disqualification to
deserving persons at cost. This
cost was found to be within the
reach of the average person of small
income, thus providing means of
proper care for those who cannot
afford the higher charges in private
institutions. Osborne suggested a
three-day trip, which would give
the committee an opportunity to
get first-hand information along
this line. Sam Robinson was made
chairman of this visitation commit
tee.
Imperial county is interested in
the proposition if plans for the
building of a more ample county
hospital should materiali2e through
SERA assistance.
The county disqualification COM
mittee, which is headed by Mrs.
Alex McRae of FL Centro, is SIM
liar to other committees over the
state of California seeking to get
information which may lead to the
possibility of better medical care
and disqualification for people OF
moderate means.

RELIEF ROLL
REACHES NEW
TOP RECORD

WASHINGTON, March 6. U.P)-
Federal relief rolls today topped
the 22,000,000 mark, an all time
peak.
Costs of supplying 100000 fam
lilies averaging four persons to the
group, and 775,000 individuals - a
total of 22,350,000 needy-with food
and clothing reached $5,000000 a
day.
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins,
with $20,200,000 on hand to care
for one-siXth the national popula-
tion after March Is, took drastic
action to conserve his ebbing funds.
He ordered 314,711 persons cut
off from federal aid in Arkansas
because their state refused to meet
his demands and raise $250,000
month to augment its government
relief allotment.
Each state was given its quota of
money to raise, the future grants,
Hopkins said. depended on them.
He made about $60000,000 in allot-
ments for only the first two weeks
of this month, qualifying promises
for the last two weeks on action
of each state.

V|NSON BILL
APPROVED by
COMMITTEE
Measure Sponsored By Legion
Expected To Give Way In
Senate To Patman Plan
BY DUANE WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
house ways and means committee
voted today ID to II to report ia
Vorably the Vinson American Le-
gion anti-inflation soldier bonus
bill
In adopting the Vinson bill in
stead of the $2,0l5,000,000 Patman
currency initiation measure the
committee thrust the question of
currency initiation for bonus pay
ment directly before the house
which under the leadership's plan
may choose between the two pro-
poSals when the measure is brought
up either later this week or early
next week.
Rep. Fred Vinson Dem0, Ken
lucky, sponsor of the Legion meas
ure, said the vote meant that later
today the committee would go over
the Vinson measure for possible
amendments before formally re-
porting it.
The Vinson bill, backed by the
American Legion, provides for con-
gress and the treasury to decide
on the method of payment of the
adjusted service certificates. Oppo-
nents claimed it would force pay
ment of the bonus through new
taxes amounting to at least $35,-
100000 year.
Under the agreed plan the Pat
man initiation bill can be offered
as a substitute and it was believ-
ed possible that the Patman meas
ure may be passed on to the sem
ate instead of the American Le-
gion plan.
James E. Van zandt, national
commander of the Veterans of For
eign Wars which is backing the
Patman bill, said he considered
the vote perfectly satisfactory"
Il am confident that in the
final showdown in the house the
Patman bill will be adopted Van
zandt said.
1t was understood that a mo-
ton on whether the committee
favored bonus legislation carried
"a to l, indicating that all but one
member of the committee of 25
favored some kind Of bonus legis-
lation.

FEAR MISSING

OF KIDNAPPING

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March
6. U.P)-Police today. followed two
tracks of investigation into the dis
appearance here last night of Helen
j. Banninga, 18, daughter Of a
wealthy insurance man..
Whether Miss Banninga eloped
and used a ransom note ruSe to
discourage pursuit, or whether she
was really kidnapped as revenge for
her part in conviction of bank
robbery gang, were the two poSsibil-
tiles police were developing.
Authorities said the typing on a
$4,000 "ransom note found in the
Banninga home was identical to the
type of a typewriter in tie girl
room. The note promised later
instructions after warning secrecy
and threatening death if the money
was not paid.

NAVY BEING
BUILT Up To
TREATY L|M| 7.

WASHINGTON, March 6. W.P) -
The United States rapidly is build
ing its navy toward full treaty
strength with prospects that it will
reach that position within four years,
official figures disclosed today. At
the same time the army and air
forces are being reinforced strong
ly.
Statistics showed 76 ships already
under construction and plans draft
ed to lay down "a more war craft
within the next year.
This information came as plans
were announced in Great Britain
for sharp increases in military and
naval expenditures.
President Roosevelt, asked today
concerning reports that Great Bri-
tain was building an air fleet to
meet construction in this country,
said he had not heard of the mat
ter. He said he would like to check
up on just what the reported an
nouncement said.
Naval authorities estimated total
cost of the five-year building pro-
gram, begun last year, at $780,
100000. When the 1886 plans are
finished. the navy will still be short
Of treaty strength by 78 ships.
These huge nav expenditures are

GREAT LAKES
AREA HIT BY
S[EET STORM

ST. PAUL, March 6. UP)-Duluth,
Mimi, and Superior, Wis, twin
communities at the head of the
Great Lakes, were cities of chaos
today, 36 hours after a devastating
sleet storm and gale swept the
northwest.
Travellers trickling out of the
stricken cities in creeping trains,
and the feeble cracking of emer-
gency radio hookups revealed 4
confusion of transportation and
communication seldom equalled in
modern metropolitan districts.
Sleet that snapped copper cables
like string and sheathed streets in
inch-thick ice paralyzed utilities
serving 10000 persons.
There were no electric lights, no
street cars, no schools. Coal COM
panieS were SWamped by orders they
could not deliver. Many persons
chopped up telephone poles toppled
across the streets by the weight OF
ice and used them for fuel.
The STERN abated last night, but
wire communications companies said
it might be 48 hours before they re-
stored service, and four days be-
fore they reached normalcy.
Damage in the sister cities and the
stricken district of Minnesota, Wis
consin and Michigan was estimated
at nearly $1,000,000. The storms ex-
tended across Wisconsin into the
iron country of Michigan and south
to Rhinelander and Carleton.
Conditions to the west, in Min
nesota and North Dakota, were as
bad, but absence of large cities made
them less spectacular. Only one
telegraph wire linked Fargo and Bis
marck with Minneapolis today.
An amateur radio operator in Du-
luth told another amateur in st.
Paul that "every tree and pole looks
like it had been dipped in molten
glass.
Scores of fires broke out because
of short -circuiting of broken wires.
Streets are Uttered with debris.
Thousands of trees and telephone
poles are down. Every power line is
a tangled snarl. Nearly every other
radio antenna in the city is down.
Those still up do not have power
to operate"

troops were ordered into action in
a smashing drive to end the revo-

The government forces, con-
fronting the rebels on two sides,
were instructed to encircle the
rebels and hem them in with a
double line, studded with field ar
tillery batteries.

across the rebel lines, dropping
bombs and scattering the insur-

Many were. reported killed on
both sides in a clash between Ven

Gambia, Crete.
Casualties also were heavy in a
brief Communist uprising at Ca
valla, which halted the rebel ad-
vance on Salonica on the second
day of the revolt.
Damage to war material, naval
vessels, etc, was estimated at more
than $12,0O0,000 Confiscation of
real and personal property of the
rebels was expected to afford COM
pensation.
Hampered BY Rain
Operations in eastern Macedonia
were hampered by heavy rains. The
Struma valley was reported inun-
dated and the prospective concen-

troops was a veritable sea.
Nevertheless, light and heavy ar
tillery was transferred eastward

Afternoon.
Considerable casualties were re-

them with machine guns in the
