STOLEN JEWELS BRING TERROR
NEGRO PORTER AND His WIFE

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. U.P) - A
Negro porter and his scrubwoman
wife had 100000 worth of Jewels
in tenement rooms four years and
knew nothing but terror, hunger
and illness.
Both were accused of grand lar
ceny today, although they said con-
vincingly that they wanted nothing
so much during their long posses
sion Of the jewels as to be rid of
them.
The fortune was in two necklaces
lost in May, 1881, by Mrs. Grafton
Minot. New York. One was of 129
pearls with a seven diamond clasp,
the other of ITO pearls with a clasp
of six diamonds. They were val
ued at 5000 each. Mrs. Minot
collected insurance on them after
an investigation which left their
disappearance a mystery.
First clue to the solution appear
ed yesterday when a Slight, shabbi-
ly clad Negro walked into the shop
of a Broadway jeweler and offered
to sell some beads" The jeweler
suppressed a gasp of astonishment
when he removed the beads" from
dirty wrapping and recognized
that he held a fortune in pearls in
his hands. He went into an inner
office and telephoned police. The
Negro fled taking the pearls.
Detectives Raymond HenshaW
and Charles Beakey met him at the
door.
The Negro was James Hinton, 43,
porter in a box factory. His wife
formerly was a scrubwoman in
dress shop.
"Cn, I'm glad to get rid of them"
the woman sobbed. They brought
us nothing but bad luck. I been
sick, my husbands been sick, the
children've been hungry - they'S
bad luck Jewels
She said she found the necklaces
On the floor of the dress SI\),
where Mrs. Minot shopped the Gay
they were lost.
For months she and Hinton took
turns guarding the jewels in their
rooms, concealing their presence

Suitable Fish For
Saltor Sea Sought
By State Official

Following recent correspondence
conducted by the El Centro Cham
Der of Commerce with j. Q. Snyder,
chief of the bureau of fish conser-
Vation of the state division of fish
and game, Snyder has promised
that in a final attempt to discover
some sport fish suitable for the pc
culiar environment Of Salton Sea,
he is willing to put this situation in
the hands OF a small committee ap-
pointed by himself, selecting some
one from the cooperative trout in
vastigation department. and some
one from the bureau of fish con-
Servation, and other scientists and,
if it is desired, a representative
from the chamber of commerce or
some other Imperial Valley body
who would give time to the study
Of the problem.
The department of natural re-
/ sources of which the division of
fish and game is a part, has been
experimenting for several years in
an effort to find some fish which
would establish itself in Salton Sea.
A few years ago several carloads Of
eastern striped bass were gathered
up from the shoal waters of the
Sacramento river and planted in
the sea. More recently, silver sal
mon were sent down from one Of
the northern hatcheries and plant
ed in its waters. At the same time,
Salt Lake shrimp were introduced
in the sea as a possible source OF
food for the fish which might es-
tablish themselves there. In addi-
ton. the California Academy of
Sciences, some time ago, made a
study of Salton Sea, under the di-
rection Of DR.. EVermann, to deter
mine its adaptability for fish life.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. U.P)--Paul
Kress, German, denied a masseur's

LaGuardia resented discrimination

abandoned plans to become an AM

Kentucky Election
Results In Doubt
Pending Returns

FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. 6. UP)
Under Kentuckys new double
primary system, it appeared today
that a run-off election might be
necessary to decide the important
race for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor.
Under the system, unless one
candidate receives 81 per cent of
the total vote cast for his party. a
second ballot on the two leading
candidates is necessary.
Thomas S. Rhea held a 500. ma
jority over Lieut.. Gov. A. 3. Hap
pyp Chandler on the basis of in
complete returns from last Satur-
days primary election. In 1904 of
the states 4219 precincts, Rhea re-
ceiyed H. ,139 votes to Chambers
65,324.
Other candidates for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination
had the following vote: F. A. Wal
lis, IL $685. Elam Huddleston, 4l43;
B. P. Wooton, 819.
Judge King SWope of Lexington
apparently had a safe lead over
other candidates for the Republican
nomination for governor.

NAZIS' DRIVE
ON CATHOLICS
To CONTINUE.
BY FREDERICK OECHSNER
United Press Staff Correspondent


BERLIN, Aug. 6. - Increasing
friction between Nazis and the Ro-
man Catholic church was revealed
today in incidents reported from
widely separated parts Of the coun-
try.
Nazis reported that unknown men
invaded a Hitler youth 'headquar-
ters at Solinepn, destroyed furni-
ture. flags and tablets commemor-
ating Hitler youth killed in politi-
cal fights, and smeared on the walls
the message:
I'VE take revenge-the storm
squads"
1t was assumed, in reports of the
incident, that the storm squads
were made up of youths who had
belonged to dissolved Catholic
youth organizations.
At Coblenz a member of the
Catholic union was arrested while
removing Nazi posters which de-
nounced political Catholicism.
Rev. Hans Budenbrock, a Catho-
lie priest of Muenster, faces i'm
priSonment unless he can prove
that in sermon a year ago he
used the word Claimed instead Of
claim" He was prosecuted on the
charge that he said:
After ALL the morals of the Old
Testament and the Gospels are
higher than those displayed in our
days by men who claim leader
ship"
The priest was prosecuted last
April. Ke said he used the word
claim in its past tense, intending
to refer to Nazis killed in the
purge" of June 30, 1884. He was
acquitted with a reprimand but
the state prosecutor appealed and
a new trial was ordered
Rev. Sebastinan Aigner, SO, was
sentenced to four years in prison
and fined 249,000 marks ($99, ,600)
on the charge that, as manager OF
the Catholic Order of Redemption
lists, at Munich, he smuggled for
eign exchange from the country.
The drive against Jews was
marked by an official order that
all Jewish artistic and cultural or
ganizations must Join the new
Reich Union of Jewish Cultural
Associations" which is directed by
Hans Hinkel, commissar appointed
to supervise Jewish cultural activ-
tiles.

VigiEantes Order
"Reds'' To LeaUe
Sonon7a County

SANTA ROSA, Calf, Aug. g. U.P)
-Vigilantes who smashed a strike
Of apple pickers extended their ac-
tiVities today in demanding that
all red" agitators be dropped from
federal relief rolls and be ordered
to leave Sonoma county.
The vigilantes set a time limit
in making their demand of r. f.
Holly. director of federal relief ac-
tivities in the county. The ulti-
matum expires Wednesday. The
vigilantes threatened to take direct
action after that.
Holly expressed himself as pow
erless in the situation, both because
he did not know of any agitators
on relief rolls and also because he
could not discharge anyone unless
he were found carrying on subver-
sive activities during the hours he
should be working on relief prof.
ectS.
The vigilantes welded their forces
into citizens protective organi-
zation at a meeting Sunday. Their
association was the aftermath Of
the action last week when citizens
raided a strike meeting, beat two
Communist party candidates, and
scattered the assemblage. Th e
strike collapsed after the raid.
The new organization was said to
include business, professional and
agricultural representatives deter
mined to clear the county of "unde-
sirableS" such as those held respon-
sible for starting the unrest among
the apple pickers in the Sebastopol
area.

HUGE OIL WELL
DEFIES CONTROL
Texas GuSher Threatens to
Flood Countryside; Fire
Crews Stand by.

By United Press
RICHMOND, Tex, April 20.-The
wildly flowing No. 2 Ahlers today
defed the ingenuity of oil well drill
ers and the proration laws of Texas.
The gusher, largest found in this
area in the last 10 years, went out
of control Thursday and threatens
to flood the countryside. Fire crews
stood by to keep the spouting oil
and roaring gas from becoming ig-
nited.
The mrestrained flow was esti-
mated at 10000 to $4,000 barrels
day. Under the state conservation
laws the entire Big Creek field may
legally produce only 998 barrels
daily.
Orillers had everything set for
bringing the well in quietly. Sud-
Genly the oil rose like a geyser and
shot hundreds of feet into the air,
drenching workmen.
Drillers hastily pushed heavy
timbers over the hole, divertiflg the
OF into Big Greek, which was
damned to receive it. Two pumps
began moving the fluid to tanks.
They fell behind and the pool
around the well grew steadily larger.

LAUDS MINTON
UTILITY RECORD
Senator Hears Solicitor for
Power Board Praise
Him.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Sena-
tor Sherman Minton, sitting as a
member of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, heard his
regime as Public Counselor with the
Indiana Public Service Commission
cited as an example of what can
be accomplished in rate reductions
through adequate official action.
The committee, under the chair
manship of Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, Cd, Month, is holding
daily hearings on the bill to abolish
the utility holding company.
Dozier DeVane, solicitor for the
Federal Power Commission, was the
witness who cited the Hoosier Sem
ator's accomplishment in reducing
Indiana electric utility rates $3,215,-
900 year.
This he said, ''is an example of
rate decrease possibilities under
pressure of official action"
Figures on the Indiana situation
were taken from the Federal Power
Commission records, the witness de-
clared. They were given to refute
the claim of holding company
spokesmen~ that rate reductions
throughout the nation have been
due to voluntary action of holding
companies in controlling the oper-
ating utilities.
THE Indiana illustration shows
that these rate reductions resulted
not from voluntary action of these
companies but from the action of
energetic public officials" Er. De-
Vane pointed out.
"These Indiana companies re-
duced their rates because the Pub
lie Counselox filed show cause
orders against them to require them
to show why their rates should not
be reduced by the State Commission.
THE utilities lowered their rates,
rather than stand trial on that
issue.
Nov that $3,215000 of annual
rate decreases in Indiana has be-
come $4,000,00G under Senator Min
tons successor, the present public
counselor.
Indiana, according to the records
of the Federal Power Commission,
today compares favorably in cleo
trio rates with the rest of the
country"

IN COLD TREATMENT

By United Press
NEW YORK, April 20.-Doc-
tors were agreed today in de-
nouncing the use of nose drops
for colds and they warned against
forcing children to swallow cod

Six fatal cases of pneumonia
caused by taking into the lungs
small quantities of such oils were
reported by DR.. Irving Graef,

Four other doctors cited similar
cases. Still others vigorously sup
ported their colleagues observa-
lions. None dissented. The re-
ports were based upon autopsies.
One case which DR.. Graef de-
scribed, was of an infant forced
to take codliver oil by holding its
nose. Codliver oil was found in
its lungs.

WAR BILL MAY
EXEMPT PRESS
FROM LICENSING
Nye'S Committee Rewriting
Measure for Introduction
to Senate.

By Scripps-HoWard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. April 20.-News-
papers will be exempted from the
provisions Of the Senate war-profits
bill FOR the control of all industry
by licensing, Chairman Gerald P.
Nye (R., N. ID of the Senate Mu-
nitions Committee predicted today.
Tie committee Is rewriting its own
bill and hopes TO introduce 1t by
next Wednesday.
Some of the Senate proposals diff
fer radically from terms of the Nc
Swain bill. passed by the House
April Q. Senators predict that only
the title of the McSwain bill will
remain after the two measures are
eventually brought together by the
House and Senate conference.
1t has been reported that an at
tempt might be made TO insert
neutrality program in the bill.
Chairman Key Plttman Cd. Nev)
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee said today. however. that
he prefers to consider all the pend
ing neutrality proposals at one time
and report out a single program,
independent OF the war-proflts leg
islation.
Navy Opposes Embargo
There are now in the legislative
hopper resolutions to refuse credit
or money to belligerent nations; to
refuse credit or money to any gov
eminent whether in war or peace;
to prevent United States citizens
from sailing on merchant ships OF
warning countries; to refuse pass
ports to war zones, and to forbid
export of combat materials.
The State Department is also
formulating a neutrality program.
but has encountered opposition from
the Navy to a provision for an en-
barge on munitions exports.
The proposed Senate war-profitS
measure has been subjected to sew
eral major revisions since 1t was
first announced April 2.
Testimony concerning income-tax
practices of mining companies has
led to a new provision forbidding
any company which has written off
depreciation 100 per cent to make
further deductions under this head
ing.
Investigators going through IN
come-tax records discovered a prac-
tice of overpaying taxes and then
claiming refunds. The refund, I'M
der such circumstances, Is not now
taxable. The war profits bill as
revised will propose making them
taxable.
Trust Funds Target
Provisions of the revenue laws
concerning trusts would be given
new teeth under the revised bill
Individuals have been known to turn
large sums into irrevccable trusts
and assign them, as one investigator
described it, to "Old Aunt Mabel.
aged 85."
Such fund enjoys special privi-
leges under the existing law. The
alleged motive for assigning 1t to
Aunt Mabel is the certainty that
she has not long to live, and that
the money will revert to the original
owner upon her death, tax free.
The new Senate bill would subject
the grantor of the trust to full La
bility If he has failed to divest HIM
self permanently of all rights to it.
The McSwain bills tax provision
simply states that 100 per cent of
war profits shall be taken by the
government. It's critics complain
that it sets up no machinery, and
does not define war nrnfitS
