RAGING BOARD
PROBE ENDED
BY MELVIN LORD
United Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, April Am as
sembly investigation of California
horse racing was concluded early
today, leaving the public morals
committee of the lower house with
a maze of contradictory testimony
on which members expected to
base a report to guide the course
of future racing legislation.
Starting yesterday afternoon
with a series of charges made by
Frank H. Hudson, former inspec-
tor for the state racing commits
sion, the hearing proceeded slow
ly into the early morning hours
with a parade of racing fraternity
witnesses ranging from Jockeys to
Carleton Burke. chairman of the
racing commission.
AS the investigation progressed,
there developed a series Of racing
'&delights, including an apparent
feud between northern and South
ern California tracks, personal ami
mostly between commission en-
ployes and ample proof Of the tur-
moil surrounding the re-birth of
the sport of kings" in California.
/. Opening with Hudsons testi-
mony, in which he charged the
racing commission with favoritism,
incompetency and numerous irreg-
ularities in the conduct of racing
meets throughout the state, the in
vestigation was concluded with a
long list of commission witnesses
who sought to impeach both Hud-
sons testimony and character.
At the conclusion of the long
meeting, AsSemblyman James D.
Garibaldi, Merced, chairman of
the committee, announced that no
further inquiSitorial m e G t n G
would be held and that the COM
mittee report would be filed "at
some future date"

Tale of Fortune
Gets Partisan
Swanky Job

PARIS, Feb. l G.N.SD.-Sev,
eral weeks ago France thrilled
to Eugene Paris romantic tale
of honest toll rewarded by a
100000 fortune left him by an
uncle of the same name who had
died in California.
Today, confronted by denial
the fortune exists and California
dispatches reporting no trace of
the Paris millions" the young
man continued to insist that be.
fore the year is out he will be
called to his wealth and high
position.
Paris first announcement was
that a long-forgotten uncle went
to the United States as a boy,
rolled up huge estate and then
died, leaving it all to Eugene.
Paris told interviewers they
were talking to the man who had
taught the Prince of Wales to
swim. This fetching new sidelighU
on "the millionaire" brought him
a job in swanky pool, just off
the Champs ElySees, where he now
explains his fortune and swimming
strokes to society folk.

TOKYO CLAIMS
ISLES ARE NOT
FORTIFIED
International News Service

Is Japan fortifying the Pacific
inundated islands, those stepping.
stones to Hawaii and other Amer
lean possessions?
In the answer to this question
lies an element of vital Importance
to the future friendly relations of
the United States and Japan as
we'll as to the Nippon Empires

lions.
Fortifications or development of
those islands as naval bases would
be a violation not only of the
Washington Naval Treaty but also
of the terms of the League of Ma
tions mandate under which the
islands were entrusted to the care
of Japan.
A survey of events in connec-
ton with the question of whether
or not Japan is fortifying the
islands brings the following an
SWers:
Yes, say members of the League
Of Nations Mandates Commission.
No. says Tokyo.

formation.
Out of the maze of charges,
rumorS, denials and facts emerges
one definite indication: thai
Japan is doing something with
those islands of which she does
not want the rest of the world
to know.
The evidence compiled here
from reports of intelligence agents
indicates that Tokyo is develop
ing the islands for use as naval
bases for submarines and other
small Warships; for naval fight
ing planes and as oil reserve de-
pots in case of trouble in the

BURIAL PROFITS
UNDER FIRE

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The or
ganization of Municipal Funeral
Authority to provide burials, re-
placing those conducted by pri-
vate undertakers, was urged upon
the Board of Estimates by the
City Affairs Committee through
John Haynes Holmes, chairman,
and Frederick L. Guggenheimer,
executive director.
Surveys of the costs of funerals
privately conducted showed that
they averaged $3.50, while the city
could provide dignified standard
funeral for between $50 and $40,
the committee said. It's plan pro-
VideS for a Manhattan funeral ed.
ifice costing 100000 and for the
use of moderately priced cemetery
lots.
The committee said recent
study financed by the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company dis
closed that undertakers made 300
to 500 per cent profit on their cof-
fins and that their overhead costs
were "outrageous."

ROCKVILLE, Md, Feb. Pos
sibility that the post of Montgom-
cry county sanitary engineer would
be filled by competitive examina-
ton doomed today following the
regular meeting of the board of
commissioners yesterday, at which
time such an idea was expressed
by Commissioner Paul M. Cough
lin.
Mr.. Coughlin introduced the
competitive examination idea as a
result of a conference which he
and DR.. v. L. Ellicott. county
health officer, held in Baltimore
last week. 1t would be employed
in order that Maryland and the
United States Government would
not withdraw the nearly $4,000
annually which they give to the
department., q move that was
threatened following the appoint
ment of Lawrence Tolson to the
post several weeks ago.
A further move to reward all
deserving Fusionists with county
jobs was made by the board yester-
day when ten minor appointments
we're made. All those appointed
replace organization Democrats.

terday.
Sponsored by The Washington
Times, these luncheon confer
ences are held to promote the
American design movement and
to give the average woman the
benefit of the taste of a group
of six judges selected to award
tags of approval to the clothes
shown. Groups of two from each
store are modeled-and one of
the two, and sometimes both, are
selected.
Yesterdays choices were par.
ticularly important owing to the
fact that the highest priced frock
chosen was $16.95, a price within
the reach of the average woman.
Since these clothes were approved
by a group whose knowledge of
clothes design and fabric is well
founded, the average woman pur-
chasing clothes from local econ
omy departments will obtain an
even greater bargain than she
might otherwise.
