FIVE DIE AS
AUTO TOPPLES
OVER CLIFFS

SAN DIEGO, July 8. UP)-The
deaths of four women and man,
killed when an automobile plunged
over 40-foot cliff, were investi-
gated today.
Police Identified the women as
Mrs. Helen Billings, SO, and her
daughter, Constance Billings, 40,
both of Jamaica Plain, Mass; Mrs.
Mary E. Roome, 60, Kings Cove,
Mass, and Mrs. James A. Murphy,
45, San Diego, driver of the car.
William England, 38-year-old San
Diego garageman, was injured IA
tally when a cable he was faSten-
ing to the car, after it had gone
over the cliff, snapped.
The car had been parked in a
scenic spot on the bluff. 1t start
ed forward slowly and toppled over
the edge, crashing top-down on
the beach below.
Police said the car was in a for
ward gear and expressed the belief
that Mrs. Murphy became excited
and put it into low-gear instead OF
reverse.
England was attempting to raise
the car with a truck and cable
when the cable snapped and whip
ped him from the bank to rocks
below.

ENGLAND NOT
ABLE To HALT
|TALY'S PLAN
Continued on page 81

LONDON, July 8. U.P)-Great
Britain has been brought to at
least a temporary halt in its ef-
fort to prevent Italy from waging
war on Abyssinia.
Both Italy and France have re-
buffed British suggestions and ef-
forts at compromise, and the Uni
ted States refusal to invoke the
pact of Paris-the Briand-Kellogg
anti-war treaty-has left the gov
ernment, for the present at least,
empty of ideas.
Joseph A. Avenol, secretary gen.
eral of the League of Nations, was
due here today to discuss with gov
ernment leaders the possibilities to
be expected when the league coun-
Gil next considers the Italian-Aby
sinian crisis July 25.
The cabinet will consider the sit
uation Wednesday. and Sir Sam
uel Hoare is to make a considered
statement on it to the house of
commons Thursday.
Italy has rejected all British
pleas not to wage war. France has
refused TO endanger it's new friend
ship with Italy by supporting Bri-
tish pressure on Italy. President
Roosevelt's refusal to heed Abys-
sinia's plea to invoke the BRAND
Kellogg anti-war pact, which the
United States government spon-
sored, was the final blow.
1t seemed that whatever hap
pened Germany. which is not in
volved at all in the Abyssinian
problem, would be the winner.
British opposition to Italy's
venture has estranged
Italy and Britain. France and Bri-
tain are in disagreement because
of Britain's naval agreement with
Germany and because of Frances
refusal to support Britain against
Italy. The leagues apparent impo-
tence is further diplomatic good
news to Germany.

LOS ANGELES, July 8. W.P)-
Attacked in a city hall corridor,
Leonard Husar deputy city prose-
cutor, was stabbed in the back with
an ice pick by Morris Fruchtman,

office and gave himself up. Ac-
cording to police, he said that he
attacked the prosecutor in revenge
for an asserted insult to his parents

a private attorney, represented him
in a suit against the Los Angeles
railway company.

LONG BEACH, July 8. W.H--
Five modern pirates" armed with

ship Monte Carlo at S a. m. today
forced members of the crew to op-

fled in small white power boat.
Ed v. Turner, owner of the
barge, said the men carried shot
guns and were disguised by stock
ings pulled over their heads. Eye
holes had been cut in the conceal
ing masks.
A few hours before the robbery,
hundreds of weekend gamblers had
been taken to shore in speed-boats.
Only Turner and members of the
crew, including a score of husky
"bouncerS," were on board.
While members of the pirate crew
held Turner and his aides at bay.
others forced Turner's cashier to
open the safe. They seized the
money, went over the side and
their power boat sped toward shore
and hundreds of inletS, docks and
miles of beaches which offered con-
cealment or a place to land.
A coast guard boat put to sea as
soon as the robbery was reported,
seeking to locate the pirate" craft.
Before leaving the ship, the BAN
dts tied up Turner and all 10 mem
bers of his crew.
The loot consisted of both cash
and jewelry, police were informed.
About $4,000 of the loot was said
to have been in cash, and $4,000
in jewelry left in pawn by guests
who had gone broke" bucking the
games of chance.
Under federal laws the robbery
was an act of piracy on the high
seas, and the United States de-
partment of justice moved into the
case promptly.
If the raiders are captured they
will face the death penalty for pir-
acy, according to Joseph E. Dunn,
of the department of justice.
Turned said most of his crew
were asleep when the robber party
boarded the barge.

the coast but the move was un-

pirates" had reached shore before
the crew members could free their
bonds and give the alarm
The Monte Carlo has figured in
several brushes with the law but
continued to operate because of its
position outside the jurisdiction of
county authorities. Lying four
miles offshore, the boat is solely
responsible to federal authorities.
