the beginning of a new era in its
completion.
Las Vegas. New, once a sleepy
desert town II miles from the dam,
now rivals Reno as the first city of
the state. The millions which dam
workers poured on its gambling
tables, pushed across its bars. and
spent in diverse entertainment pro-
vided under laws Of Nevada but
prohibited in this government-con =
trolled city, have dwindled as con-
struction work slowed.
AS the dam neared completion the
stream of sightseerS increased. Hotel
rooms are at a premium and busl-
ness is booming. Las Vegas foresees
continued prosperity as the hub
of a great desert resort.
The city expects to rival Reno as
a divorce center and replace Aqua
Caliente as a gambling mecca for
the wealthy o. Los Angeles and

District Attorney
To Get Drake Case
For Action Today

LOS ANGELES, Sept. q. (U.R
The county grand jury, after
a brief hearing, today voted
double murder indictment against
Leroy Drake, 19-year- old Long
Beach honor student, who con-
feSsed poisoning his uncle and
aunt and then driving an auto
mobile containing their bodies
into the ocean.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 81 UR -
The case of Leroy Drake, 10, presi-
dent of a church society who con-
fessed poisoning his uncle and aunt,
probably will be turned over to the
district attorneys office for action
today, police said.
The boy admitted he placed
poison in the coffee of Henry and
Nellie Steinhuer, both 60. and
watched them Gle. Then. the con-
tession recounted, he dragged the
bodies into the family automobile
and toppled it into the harbor.
Drake changed his first confess
sion, finally asserting he killed the
couple because he knew their wills
made him heir to their estates,
police said.
Previously the boy said he thought
he would be sent to prison for steal
ing an automobile, and he poisoned
the two because he didn't want
them to know
Detectives said Drake learned
that Steinheur had 1,400 in cash
in a bank, and two weeks before
that Steinhuer had $1,400 in cash
discussing $11,500. Two wills found
in the house disclosed Drake was
heir to one-third of their property
# one should die, and to all OF It
if both died.
Drake said his father and mother
were Mr.. and Mrs Leroy Drake, Sr.,
of Washington, D. C. He had lived
with his uncle and aunt since he
was three years old, he said.
He was an honor student at Long
Beach junior college, an amateur
astronomer, and president of the
Christian EndeaVor society OF a
Long Beach church. He told police
he had not missed attending church
and Sunday school in five years.

T'other one was of medium height,
and 5000 nice. They'll get on very
well down at West Virginia. One
of the tall lads croons while he
dances with a gal, and he croons
divinely. He'll probably fall for

southern fluff, and Groom a line of

looks like a prospective Kappa

around breaking hearts very ruth
lessly, so they say. He might
grab off some prof's daughter, or
maybe even the Deans daughter,
if the Dean has a daughter. He
looks like Kappa material, also.
But the third one-he's rather
quiet. He looks what he has to
say, and gosh, can he ever look!
He dances very slowly, very col
