LIFE OUTDOES
MYSTERY PLOT
Imbroglio Of Nobleman, Wealth,
Death Stumps Pasadena, New
York Police

SOUTH PASADENA, Calf, Oct.
IL. U.P)-The unexplained death
of a Spanish nobleman here year
ago, disappearance of his $4,000
fortune, and a report that his son
was held by New York authorities
puzzled police today.
An investigation of the case be-
gan when New York dispatches re-
ported that DR.. Antonio L. Evange-
liste was held at the request of
Pasadena officers. DR.. EVangeliSte
was said to be a native of the Phil
ippine Islands, and now a New
York chiropractor.
Police here found no record of
such a request, but did find the
death certificate of Jener Logda-
mio Evangeliste de ESpina, Marquis
of Constantia, which was assertedly
signed by DR.. Evangeliste. The
body had been cremated the day
after death, and the ashes shipped
to Spain.
Police here said DR.. Evangelist
lived as the marquis brother, that
he really was his son.
An odd feature of the enigma
was a request turned up in the
search of records made March Is,
1885, by the United States war de-
partment asking for records of the
death of "Jener Logdamio' and the
whereabouts of his son.
At the same time police had a
letter from Mrs. Florenzel Logda-
mio de Cox in Manila, who said
she was the Spaniard's daughter,
and asked an investigation of what
happened to a fortune of about
$4,000 which he assertedly brought
here from the Philippines.
Lieut.. E. C. Setter of the South
Pasadena police department plan
ned to compare records with those
of county authorities today. In the
meantime, police have asked New
York authorities to hold DR.. Evan
geliste pending further investiga-
tion.

canal and to gain revenue to de-
fray fixed charges and lower as

of the Southern Sierras Power
company agent to obtain rights of
way across farm property for rural
power lines. He declared this
speech to be the first of several
at which he will present the dis
trict's side of the question to the
farmers, whom he declared have a
right to their claim to distribute
their own power through the irri-
cation district.

HoltUille Bond
Mix-Up Settled
By Negotiators

After four years of negotiations,
the city of Holtville this week re-
ceived street assessment bonds
totaling $16O, 1889, issued in 1921
%, which have been the subject Of
considerable anxiety since that time.
The delivery of the bonds to the
city followed compromise between
the city, the county and the I'M
perial Irrigation District on one
side, and the BondholderS Protec~
tive committee on the other.
Issuance of the bonds in the boom
Gays following the World War, when
Holtville experienced an orgy OF
street paving, has threatened the
city with insolvency and the COM
pletion of negotiations whereby the
bonds alN returned to the city
brings much satisfaction to Of
ficials, businessmen and property
owners of the city.
The bonds returned to the city
represent the greater share of three
issues. Approximately $4,000 more
IN bonds are still outstanding in
small groups, but all are outlawed
by the statute of limitations which
expired on September l of this
year.
Court action was averted thorugh
willingness of the bondholders and
officials of the other three groups
20 negotiate for an out-of court
settlement.
The negotiations were handled
through w. w, McEuen, of the
Pioneer Title Insurance and Trust
company as representative of the
bondholders, and D. B. Roberts, city
attorney of Holtville.

'the WGlS Commercial club IS
Vitally interested in u. S. SO high
way and has put forth considerable
effort to have this highway COM
pleted from the Idaho line &c
Southern Nevada, and our efforts
have been quite successful. The

ed. If you will kindly advise us the

glad to make any reservations that
you desire, and we also plan or

The purpose of this motor caravan
is to organize the -Four States High
way association and to promote
highway travel on Highway U. S. SO
through the States Of Montana
/ Idaho, Nevada and California, eX-
tending from Gateway, Montana tc
Calexico, California, and for the
further purpose of designating the
road from Glendale, Nevada, via

INLAND through Imperial Valley to
Calexico similarly as Highway U. S
SO, thus giving to the entire route
Of the -Four State Highway the
designation of U. S. SO from the

Mexican border. A further objective
is to encourage all possible travel
over this international highway and
to urge the federal government and
the states to make allocations OF
money to bring the roadway to a
high construction standard.

GENEVA, Oct. IL U.P)-The league
of nations today tightened its ring
of sanctions on Italy's outlawed
war against Ethiopia when a sub
committee approved the general
lines of financial penalties.
The proposals will be submitted
later today to the Little" penalties
committee, composed of II key
nations.
Outright approval of program
for commercial and financial block
ade of the Fascist government was
held in abeyance pending clarifica-
ton of the attitude of American
business toward league plans to tie
Italy's hands by economic sanctions.
Meanwhile, the Big" sanctions
committees members considered
naval blockade of Italy if they de-
cided economic penalties cannot be
enforced without it.
GENEVA, Oct. II U.P)-Worldwide
boycott of Italian exports was pro-
posed to the league of nations Lit
tie" committee on penalties by Capt.
Anthony Eden today when II key
nations began consideration of
punitive measures to halt Italy's
Illegal war on Ethiopia.
Proceeding swiftly toward boy
cotting Italy, with an arms embargo
already provided for, league lead
ers believed the Little" penalties
committee composed of II key ma
tions might vote today for boy
colt of Italy on all credits and loans
not only government but private.
A subcommittee was to be named
today to prepare a plan for inter-
rupting Italian exports such as
fruit, wine, hemp and cotton goods.
This boycott might be extended
later to shut off the flow of raw
materials and other commodities
absolutely essential to Italy, which
is almost lacking in raw materials.
