SOLUTION To
MYSTERY CASE

OAKLAND. Calf, March 2. tU9
"A diary and an 18-year-old girl
whose love was cooling were ex-
pected by authorities today TO help
solve the mystery of the sudden
deaths Of two of the three women
who married 31-year-old Louis
GoSden.
Earl Warren, district attorney of
Alameda county, guarded closely
the contents of the diary, said to
have been written by Mrs. Laura
Silva Gosden, third wife of the
man whom Warren said he would
charge with murder.
Wife No. died in convulSions
last November. Gosden said she
had eaten tuna fish and milk"
Her death certificate gave pneu-
monia as the cause. Warren said
pathologists had found traces of
strychnine In her stomach when
the body was exhumed. ..-.
After her death Gosden employ
ed Mrs. Lydia Sanborn, 18, as his
housekeeper. They planned to
marry. '-.. ... ..=
But after his arrest, brought
about indirectly by charges that
he contributed to her delinquency
her love waned and police said to-
day she was ready to tell them
what she knew about Gosden.
Meanwhile authorities were con-
sidering the advisability of exhum-
ing the body of wife No. 2, Mrs.
Vivian Gosden, who died suddenly
and mysteriously in 1927.
Regardless of the outcome of the
latter investigation, Warren said
he would lay the case before the
grand jury mot later than We'd
nesday."

LARGE CROWD
At MEETING
Of CHAMBERS
Continuance OF Farm Labor
Service And Opposition To
Pink Slips Voted

Declared by many who attended
to be the outstanding meeting OF
the Associated Chambers of Com
merce of the year, the monthly
meeting of the countrywide group
at Holtville last night was almost
epochal. Residents from all parts of
Imperial Valley gathered in force
to hear the lecture of Allen B. Clay
ton, artist, and to see the magni-
ficent direct natural color photo
graphy which he displayed.
Clayton carried his audience to
all the scenic parts of the south
west, the Grand Canyon. Brice Can
yon, the Exposition Park in San Di-
ego, the Mission at San Luis Rey,
and more particularly the colorful,
cactus-strewn desert of California
and Arizona. The familiar cacti OF
the Imperial Valley desert was
shown at the time of their gorgeous
Towering in direct natural color.
Clayton told briefly some of the
characteristics of the various cacti
shown on the screen. His lecture was
frequently interrupted by vocifer-
Gus applause. ....
Clayton'S concluding masterpieces
were views of the familiar Point
Iona headland at sunset. The ar
tist had set up his camera from an
altitude in San Diego facing Point
Iona with the sun descending into
the sea. At intervals, he made ex-
posureS and the result is a contin-
! uing sunset picture, beginning with
the brilliant reds and finally fading
to dull purple as night descended
over Point Iona.
President L. j. Thomas presided
at the business meeting. A number
of urgent matters were transacted
and resolution was adopted urging
the continuance of the farm place
ment service of the United States
department of labor, maintained in
Imperial Valley by Captain w. N.
Cunningham for several years. The
chambers voiced opposition to the
famous or infamous pink slips
which would make public the re-
ceiptS and income of taX-paying Cit
izens and voted to ask the Califor-
ina congressional delegation to
work for the elimination of this fea-
ture of the income tax law.
During the course of the meeting,
it was urged that the board of coun-
ty supervisors adopt county ordin-
ance which will prohibit the grazing
of livestock on public lands for
distance of one mile on either side
of any state highway in Imperial
county. to preserve the wild flowers,
which it was pointed out by speak
ers, are a great tourist attraction
and brought annually many thous-
ands of persons into Imperial VAL
ley.
Dinner was served by the women
of the Holtville Methodist church.
Much commentator was given this
group of women for their culinary
skill, remarkable under the circuns
stances because they had been told
to prepare for gathering of IS per-
sons, and instead of this, 200 throng-
eel the assembly place.
Unanimous endorsement was CIV
ell to the plan of Nicholas Novak of
Ell Centre who is organizing boys
band and it was heartily commended
by the organization.

City Cleaning
Clogged Drains

To guard against clogged drains in
the business section if the present
rain should prove to be real storm,
the street department today was
busy cleaning out the accumulation
of muck at various intersections
along Main street.
A strem of water, given plenty of
force from a power pump, was di-
rected through the drains, cleaning
them out and permitting drainage
to flow through them at capacity,
The work drew the attention of
numerous spectators despite the risk
of a ducking when the hose was
withdrawn from the drain.

OWl Club Closes
Doors Indefinitely

With the failure of the Mexican
federal government to rescind its
ban on gambling, at least for the
present, Mike Miller and Joe Flores,
proprietors of the A. B. w. club III
Mexicali announced yesterday that
their establishment would be closed
for an indefinite period.
Since the ban on gambling in
Mexicali was put into effect on jan
uary /, the Owl Club has been run
at loss, the proprietors stated, and
for this reason it was thought best
to close the place completely until
the federal government changes its
attitude relative to gambling

Until Conditions Studied
LOCAL OFFICIALS CONFER

LOS ANGELES, March 2. UR--
California determined today to
launch a vigorous fight against
federal slashes in the state IS relief
allotment which would force re-
duction In work projects and relief
payments affecting 272,473 families
The state relief commission,
meeting here, adopted a militant
resolution demanding that federal
authorities Immediately increase the
$9,0OO,000 March relief allotment to
California. The commission added
that the drastic curtailment would
not be "meekly accepted
The action was taken after Frank
Y. Mclaughlin, state relief admin
istrator, presented a budget, based
on the $9,000,000 curtailed allot-
ment, calling for a 80 per cent re-
duction in relief checks for March
. and 30 per cent reduction in work
projects. 1t would have the affect
of cutting the average family re-
lief check from S34 to $24 month.
The former monthly federal re-
lief allotment to California was
S15,OOO,OOO.
LOS ANGELES, March 2. U.R)-A
State and county relief admins
tration heads were to meet today
in an effort to solve crisis re-
sulting from drastic cuts in emer-
gency relief funds for March.
Gov. Frank r. Merriam left Sac
ramento last night to attend the
meeting which was to be presided
over by DR.. Glen Carlson of San
Bernardino. Frank Y. McLaugh-
lin, state relief director, and other
members of the state relief COM
mittee also were to attend.
Roy w. Pilling. Los Angeles
county relief director, said he
would fight to keep the minimum
monthly budget to destitute fami-
lies at $31l2 despite the fact the
county will have only $3,071 ,040 for
the month.
I'VE cannot wreck complete
and perfectly functioning organi-
zation for an emergency that will
be ended before the month is out"
Pilling said. Direct distribution
of food to the relief rolls is i'm
possible because we are not pre-
pared for it and we could effect
no economy under such plan."
Pilling asserted he is convinced
that President Roosevelt's $4,800,-
100000 work-relief program will be
ratified by congress March 20, and
that he would institute direct re-
lief for the 20-day interval.
"Discontinuance of certain work
relief projects will be only tenn
porary," he said. Knowing the
desperate need of families on relief
rolls, we will not under any cir
cumstances allow reduction of
individual budgets"
Pilling announced temporary sal
ary cuts in the administrative pay
rolls that he said will save more
than $4,000 of the s500,000 month
ly allotment,

IS NEW
SOX TRAINER

Roland Logan. coach Of the
George Washington University
basketball team and trainer OF
the Colonial grid squad, has a
new job today.
It is with the Boston Red Sox.
Logan is now the new trainer
with the Beaneaters, having been
signed by the Tom Yawkey clan
yesterday.
Logan was signed by Boston on
the recommendation of Joe
Cronin, former pilot of the Wash
ington Baseball Club, and now
the leader Of the Red Sox.
Logan is widely known as a
trainer. Among his best charges
were Jim Bausch, Olympic decath
lon champion, and Glenn Gun
ninsham, holder of indoor and
outdoor records.
The new Red Sox trainer is a
graduate of Kansas University,
At that institution he was quite
active in sports, winning 10 let
ters in addition to being named
all-Big Six guard in 1929.
He came to George Washington
University in 1888 when he as.
sumed the duties of trainer and
assistant line coach of the foot
ball team.
Naturally elated over getting
his new position, Logan is hope,
full of returning to G. w. next
fall to resume his post on the
coaching staff. Officials at G. w,
are expected to arrange this.

BREAK LOSING
STREAK At 81.

After a record losing streak. of
81 games, The Washington Times
team finally won a tilt in the
National Capital League-and con-
gratulations are in order.
Time after time victory was in
sight for the different line-upS
that Capt. Bill Smith would gather
together.
Moreover, it's a tough PROPOSE
ton to get bowlers to roll with a
loser, particularly one that was
headed for a record in the wrong
direction.
It got to be a habit-but each
week the boys came back for more
punishment. They could take it
and how.

IN LEAGUE

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-What is
expected will be a vastly i'm

will open its Eastern Intercol-
legiate Basketball League cam
paign tonight when its meets
Princeton at Princeton.
Nearly three weeks of intensive
practice during the Christmas
vacation have resulted in the
Lions eliminating many of their
early-season flaws, and Columbia
figures to be a dangerous five
for the remainder of the season.
Although Princeton is not re-
garded as the strongest team in
the league, it is expected that
it's contest with Columbia will be
a close affair, and the Lions
outlook will be based on how it
performs against the Nassau five.
