BOMB WRECKS
FREIGHT TRAIN

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 10. UH
"A roaring blast of dynamite,
planted along the main line of the
Illinois Central railroad, tossed a
locomotive and 10 freight cars from
the tracks today in what appeared
to be a fresh outbreak of the nli-
noiS mine war.
Two members of the trains
three-man crew were injured when
the heavy locomotive, lifted from
the tracks by timed bomb, bound
ed over the rails.
Conductor w. w. Westerbrook
and Fireman Ira Fitzgerald, both
of Clinton, ILL.,, were brought to st.
Johns hospital here with bruises
and head injuries. Engineer Tony
Hoff, also of Clinton, escaped in
jury.
The dynamiting, tying up all
traffic on the I. c. line between
Chicago and st. Louis, was the
fifteenth train bombing attributed
to the mine feud in Illinois.
The war-a bitter three-year
fight among coal operators and ri
val unions-has claimed SO lives in
the bituminous fields circling
Springfield.
Bombings-trains, trestles, mine
shafts and homes resulted in
damage aggregating close to a mil
lion dollars.

SACRAMENTO, Aug 10. UP)-
Californians will decide next Tues
day whether the state shall be per-
mitted to launch an extensive pro-
gram of institutional improvement
to relieve overcrowded conditions
in hospitals and asylums.
Foremost in Importance and in
terest on the August Is special
election ballot is the proposal to
float a $13950,000 bond issue to en-
large institutions, increase prison
facilities and expand the state
buildings here and in Los Angeles.
The other two items on the ballot
would permit the state to make
short term borrowings in anticipa-
ton of increased revenues, and Gre
ate the Rector dam authority, Civ
ing it power to borrow from the
federal government to construct a
dam and eliminate the water short
age now faced by state institutions
in the Napa valley.
Approval of the bond issue would
permit the state to provide ade-
quate space and quarters for its
constantly growing hospital and
prison population. Beds could be
moved out of attics and Easements,

THREE PROPOSITIONS FOR STATE
SPECIAL ELECTION ON TUESDAY

prison cells could be occupied by
fire hazard in some hospitals could
be dispelled, and the way would be
paved toward constructing a new
prison in Southern California.
Additionally, two wings could be
added to the capitol building, or a
separate structure built, to save
rent and accommodate growing
functions of government. An i'm
portant saving in rentals could be
made in Los Angeles by construct
ing a $1,000,000 addition to the
state building there.
Would Get Federal Loan
Adoption of the bonds would af-
ford the state an opportunity to
apply for a grant of $10,000,000
from the PWA which, added to the
bond issue, would give California
nearly $24,000,000 for its construc-
ton program.
State officials, welfare workers,
institutional heads, prison directors
and labor organizations favor the
bonds. Opposition is based largely
on the growing complaint that the
state already is in debt $30000,0O0,
taxes are mounting steadily, and
the new outlay should not be un-
dertaken at this time.
Proposition No. 2 would permit
a discontinuance of the present
system of issuing registered war
rants in lieu Of cash.
Proponents argue that banks
would lend money at low interest
for short terms. and that this would
be less expensive than issuing war
rants bearing five per cent interest.
Controller Ray L. Riley, oppos-
ing the plan, says it may encourage
public spending; that it would
mean borrowing on revenues which
may never be received, and would
permit the state to pyramid its debt
by paying off only so per cent.
Proposition No. 3 is an enabling
act, setting up the necessary au-
thority to go ahead with plans for
Rector dam.

anv of them ever had. After jump
ing out of the water dozen times
in his mad struggle to get off the
hook. the fish started circling,
placing Huey at a disadvantage. A
Shot from % rifle killed the
monster and he was soon brought
to gaff amid cheers of spectators.
Leading fishermen stated the
fish is the biggest one of its kind
ever successfully hooked from an

MD|VAN| WILL
SHOWS PRINCE
HAD MILLIONS
Estate Estimated Between Five
And Ten Millions Is Left By
Youngest Of Brothers

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. UP) - A
will drawn by the late Prince AL
exis Mdivani when he still was the
husband of Barbara Hutton dis
poses of a fortune estimated at
from $5,0Oo,OO0 to $10OOO,OOO it was
reported today.
The document is in the possess
sion of Millard Fillmore Tompkins,
Sr., attorney, who refused OF dis
cuss it because of the possibility
the prince may have drawn an
other will after his divorce from
the Woolworth heiress and before
his recent death in an automobile
crash in Spain.
Under the will, drafted in jan
uary, 1884, Prince Alexis divided
the estate he accumulated through
marriage to two heiresses and in
business enterprises, into five equal
parts-one each to his wife, now
the Countess HaugWitz-Reventlow,
his brothers Serge and David, and
his sisters RouSsadana and Nina.
The heirs, according to the re-
ported version of the will, were di-
rected to meet and decide on which
of the assets they wish. These in
cluded an apartment near Paris,
40 polo ponies given him by Bar
bara, cash and securities-largely
government, state and city bonds.
Barbara, it was reported, will
seek to inherit the castle she oc-
cupied with Alexis on their honey
moor in Venice.
Stock in the Pacific Shores Oil
company and the Pan-Tex Oil cor
poration, both of Los Angeles, was
reported destined for David and
Serge, who are officers of the
company, a family enterprise. The
brothers sailed Thursday for Paris
to attend funeral services for AL
eXiS.
Alexis was said to have had as
sets of $4,500,000 in New York
banks with another $1,000,000 in
London. The will will be offered
for probate here soon unless a la
ter document is found.

MUCH PRAISE
FOR MEETING
At BANNING

Praises are arriving in El Centre
and other Imperial and Yuma val
ley cities for visit of the Kiwanis
clubs and other valley citizens to
Banning, Wednesday, and particu-
larly for Wilson w. McEuen and
the very brilliant address which he
delivered on the occasion. McEu-
ems address was in the nature of
an appeal to the people of Banning
to give full and fair information
about the highways leading through
Imperial and Yuma valleys, and
was listened to by large group of
Banning business men, hotel men,
service station operators and 9TH
ers coming in contact with the
motoring public.
In a communication received by
Manager Robert Hays of the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce from
Wallace G. Sutter, secretary of the
Banning chamber, the latter stated,
Il have heard nothing but favor
able comment in the last two days
about the Wednesday meeting.
The two communities have great
deal in common, and I know this
gathering is going to have very
beneficial results to Imperial and
Yuma valleys. You can certainly
depend on me and the chamber OF
commerce to do all we can to ce-
ment the friendly relations between
the two sections of Southern Cali
fornia.
IT am planning to put a copy OF
Mr.. McEuen's address in the hands
of each service station operator,
restaurant, hotel and auto camp
operator along the San Gorgonio
Pass district between Beaumont
and Cabazon.
Many of the boys here have
mentioned a return visit to Ell Cen
tro next winter. There is a great
deal of good derived from such
meetings. There is nothing like
rubbing elbows and getting ac-
uuainted with your neighbors."
Hays, replying to the communl-
cation of the secretary of the Ban
ming Chamber of Commerce, stated
that Ell Centro and all Imperial
Valley was happy and eager to have
the Banningers come to El Centro
for a goodwill meeting this winter.
The very successful Banning
meeting was arranged by the XII
wants clubs of Imperial and Yuma
valleys, and it is believed that in
the event of a winter time meeting
in Ell Centro, all service clubs and
civic organizations will heartily CO.
operate.
