Seventeen Racers
Dead In Blaze

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 3D. U.P)-
Seventeen race horses were des-
troyed by fire which swept stable
"F' at the fairgrounds race track
last night. Other damage was es-
timated at $4,000.
The blaze was we'll under way
when discovered and great confus-
ion reigned when track attendants
attempted to rescue the frightened
horses. 1t was not known defin-
itely today which of the "a horses
kept in the stalls we're saved.
Most of the animals were des-
cribed as "selling platers'' in the
$500 to $500 class. The stables were
valued at $4,000.
The J. B. Brooks stable suffered
the greatest loss. In its staalS were
Juggernot, Normahal, Princess Car
olin, Outer Harbor, Itso, Lady Des-
tin, Claret and an unnamed two
year-old.

WASHINGTON
HONORED BY
k|WAN|ANS

George Washington, since this is
his birthday anniversary, was the
theme of the program enjoyed this
noon by the Kiwanis club at the
Barbara Worth hotel.
Rev. E. K. Latimer of the State
Street Christian church, was pre-
Sented by Gordon Scriven, chair
man of the day, the speaker talk
ing on the life of Washington,
which he said was divided into
three main phases: Washington, the
pioneer; Washington, the patriot;
Washington, the man of faith.
In the first period of his life, Rev
Latimer, stated, Washington was es-
Sentially a pioneer. At 16 years Of
age he was a first class surveyor
and upon his father IS death, inher-
tied a large acreage which he main
tained, constantly pioneering in
newer methods of agriculture, i'm
proving the seeds grown and intro
ducing new methods of cultivation
for tobacco.
The middle period of Washing
ton IS life was devoted to his coun-
try. Washington, the patriot, early
sensed the great destiny of Amer
lea and devoted himself heart and
mind to his country. Rev. Latimer
declared Washington cannot be
compared to today's 100 per cent
Americans, for the self-styled 100
per cent Americans, in his opinion,
are more apt to take than to give,
while Washington gave his all for
his country.
Washington was also man of
faith, the part religion played in
his life being symbolized in the
minds of American people by the
vision of Washington on his knees
at Valley Forge asking for Divine
aid The speaker said that Wash
ington was a man who devoted
to religion and who prayed
often. Washington is remembered
today, not only because America
idolizes its heroes, but because he
is symbol of America IS ideals which
must never be forgotten.

Delegations of workers from all
parts of the valley were present for
the funeral SreyiceS and some had

Four Arrested
Four arrests were made, one
here and three in Brawley, in con-
nection with threatened strike
outbreaks over night and this
morning with several calls for po-
lice from local sheds this morn
ing. However no serious disturb
ance was reported.
At 10 O'Clock last night. Bill
Hays. A. Ellis and r. Satterfield,
lettuce workers. were arrested in
Brawley by deputies from the Sher-
iff'S office and brought to the
county jail for investigation re-
garding alleged fights there be-
tween union and non-union work
erS.
j. w. Hicks was arrested here
at 7:10 o'clock this morning on a
charge of disturbing the peace.
Bert Little, a striker. signed the
against him. Hicks told
police that he was on his way to
work at the time and was stop
ped by Little and another man and
two women. They were about to
jump on him, he stated, SO he
pulled his razor from pocket and
held them off with this weapon.
At 1922 o'clock a call came from
the Garin shed asking for officers
but no disturbance was found in
progress when the police arrived.
Columns of smoke in the air north
of town this morning led to the
belief that disturbances were TAX
ing place either in Imperial or
but it was later report
ed that the smoke came from
brush fires and had no connec-
ton with strike activities.
Sterling Oswalt, local police
chief, stated that no orders had
been received from Sacramento for
the Withdrawal of the special state
patrolmen now on duty here and
as far as he knew they would re-
main here for several days more.

Sunday. These subpoenas are to
be given to the sheriff's office for
on those witnesses to be

Carbon Dioxide
Land Sales To
Be Investigated

Important visitors at the El Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce today
were j. Mortimer Clark, California
real estate commissioner, and
Thomas J. Murphy. deputy commits
Sioner, who were in Imperial Valley
to inquire into the activities of some
of the sales of carbon dioXide gas
lands. Murphy was in Ell Centro
on the same efTand a few weeks
ago. The relatively high prices
asked for leases in the carbon do
xide gas territory, west of INLAND,
running as high as $500 per acre,
interested the commissioner and
his chief deputy, and they came
here. according to Manager Hays Of
the El Centro Chamber of Com
merce. to investigate more thor
oughly the possibilities of returns
to investors who purchase lands or
leases at so high a figure.
The state commissioner S office is
not at this time interested in the
activities of the company operat-
ing and already manufacturing dry
ice west of INLAND, but in other con-
Germs who are not manufacturing
ice, but are now engaged in selling
only lands and leases. The prices
charged. which are considerably
above the going prices of agricul-
tural lands in that area, have inter-
ested the commissioner, and caused
him to feel that a careful investi-
cation is needed to protect the in
terests of purchasers.
Following their visit to the El

PARIS AGAIN ACTS
TO STEADY GOLD
Bank of France Orders
Second Rate Advance to
Stem Flight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 21.-The Bank
of France raised its discount rate
again today, changing it from 4 per
cent to per cent. 1t was the second
increase in a week.
The action was taken in a renewed
effort to halt the outward flow Of
gold before it threatens the stability
of the franc.
The rate for advances on securities
was raised from to 6 per cent and
on 30-day advances from to 5 per
cent.
Devaluati0n Feared.
Fears of the eventual devaluation
Of the franc continued to find ex-
preston in the press, with financial
sources pointing to a drop In the
value of government bonds on the
Bourse, the difficulty of borrowing
money, and bad business as signs of
fear.
Technically, financiers pointed out,
the franc is still sound. They at
tributed the fight of gold from France
to uneasiness over political animosi-
ties and budgetary uncertainty at
the reopening of Parliament.
1t appeared that spectators were
staying out Of the foreign exchange
market since they burned their fin
gers" in a futile attack on the franc
last Spring.
Withdrawals Still Mounting.
In its statement today, the Bank
of France reported Withdrawals of
gold worth 933,OOO,000 francs dur
ing the week ending November IS.
(The franc was valued on the New
York market yesterday at 6.5875
cents)
This statement brings the gold
Withdrawals for three weeks to l.
768,000,000 francs, with the outflow
continuing at heavy rate.
The gold reserve on November Is
was 70,389, 100000 francs, providing a
1882 per cent coverage on bank
notes.

regions south Of the great wall, was
one OF the rare instances in which
civilian leaders Of the Toxic govern
ment made more cautious views prevail
over military ambitions.
It was understood the order repeated
a previous command from the highest
authority of Toxic to the effect that
the mission of the Japanese Army in
Manchuria did not include manipula-
ton Of autonomy for Chinese provices.
Imperial Order withheld.
The command was understood to
rule that japanese armed forces in
Nanchuria-the only ones or the
continent capable of enforcing i'm
perialistic schemes for Japan-rould
not be permitted to cross the great wall
without an imperial order.
Imperial orders are issued only In
the most grave crises-a state which
was considered authoritatively not to
exist at present In North China.
That Is the picture of the Sino-
japanese situation as viewed from
Toxic.
Dispatches from China by the
Japanese news agency, Rengo, tell of
a continued stalemate in autonomy
developments. Gen. Shang Chen, gov
ernor of Hopeh Province, is nursing
political influenza" in the American
Mission Hospital at Paotingfu. Han
Fu-Chu was reported as newly en-
crossed in the affairs of Shantung
Province, of which he is governor, and
as declining to 60 to Peiping.
Ambassador Akira Ariyoshi Of
Japan, who conferred with Generals
sino Chang Kai-Shek, the Chinese
leader, in Marking yesterday, was re-
ported by Rengo to have assured
Chang that the Toxic government
was not contemplating military action
In North China and was not support
ing that areas secession.
Rengo said the Chinese generalis-
sirno assured the Japanese Ambassa-
dor that the national government was
drafting plans for new administra-
ton in North China which would be
more satisfactory to Japan.
After the interview, said Rengo.
Gen. Chang telegraphed to all North
China leaders commanding a halt in
autonomy schemes, in which they had
exceeded their authority. It was
stated that he told them any new
regime in North China must be estab-
lished by the Nanking government in
consultation with its neighbor, Japan.
Autonomy Held Certain.
The diplomatic consensus in Toxic
is that some degree of autonomy
in North China Is inevitable, but that
it will differ greatly from the original
scheme Matched by Gen. Sung Cheh-
Yuan, commander of the Peiping-
Tientsin garrison, and the Japanese
military empire builders.
1t was predicted that it will be
carefully negotiated arrangement by

diately before the game.

Through the interest Of the medical
and dental professions, clinics with a
volunteer staff of 80 physicians and
four dentists are maintained free for

When the selection Of the Boys
Club was formally approved yester-
day, DR.. Ballou took advantage of the
opportunity to praise the service and
cooperation of the Police Department
In the handling Of crowds at all the
high school foot ball games this sea-
son.
I'VE should show our appreciation
Of the fine spirit and helpfulness Of

If we can earn anything from this

Toxic and Marking In which the
Chinese government will admit ia
pans dominant influence In various
political ways while the Japanese
government will be careful to "save
Markings face" to retain the appear
ance OF Chinese sovereignty in the af-
fected provinces. Also to make other
valuable concessions to Generalissimo
Chang, and to void running afoul of
the other signatories on the nine
power treaty. Under this treaty ia
pan with other nations, including the
United States, Great Britain, France
and the Netherlands, guaranteed the
integrity Of China.
Dispatches from China showed
that the scheme for the declaration
Of autonomy by the five provinces in
North China under the protection of
the Japanese Army had nliscarried.
However, although japanese civilian
leaders were temporarily restraining
the action of the japanese militarists
in China, a strong element of the
army was insisting that the North
China autonomy plan be carried
through.
According to the political experts,
the issue will be debated in a meeting
of the cabinet tomorrow.
1t is expected Koki Hirota, the
foreign minister, will be pitted against
Gen. Yoshiyuki Kawashina, minister
of war, in the debate.
Cabinet Tenure Menaced.
Experts said that the life of the
cabinet might possibly depend upon
the outcome.

compromise suggested by Ambassador

position to announce the size Of the
shirt.
Hicks said he would turn over the
results of the examination to Lieut..
ItZel.
Paper Napkins Examined.
Hicks also is making careful ex-
animation Of paper napkins he COL
lected from more than 60 restaurants
and roadside sandwich stands within
q 3-mile radius of the Loring home
in an effort to shed further light on
the crime.
Two napkins, which obviously had
been wrapped around barbecue sand
wiches, we're picked up not far from
the spot where Miss Loring's body
was found. Hicks does not know
yet whether they have any connec-
ton with the crime.
He said he would leave no poten-
tial clue unchecked and for that
reason he regarded these two nap
kins as important evidence until they
have been definitely dismissed as q
clue.
Hicks believes that If he can estab-
lish from which restaurant the sand
wiches were purchased 1t might be
possible to identify the persons who
bought them.
Flat Iron Also Studied.
Hicks said he is comparing fiat
iron found in the Loring home with
moulage impressions taken at the
undertaking establishment Of tri-
angular wounds in the girls temples.
Hicks said he made the impressions
with wax. but is not yet able to say
whether the wounds were made by a
fiat iron.
The girl was known to have been
preparing to iron articles in her
trousseau at the time she was last
seen. Investigators said the wounds
might have been made by the three
cornered point of an iron or almost
any other heavy instrument.
Meanwhile, a row Of thick posts,
bearing a heavy wire cable, erected by
order Of the Mount Rainier Town
Council, closed Saddleback Ridge to
