Meanwhile. the most bitter cold
wave that has swept the nation in
many years passed southwark and
eastward. Florida was severely af-
fected by the cold as temperatures
dropped to below freezing in Jack
sonville.
The cold wave reached its peak
here at 7 this morning, when zero
was recorded at Municipal Airport.
Under the pressure of a northwest
wind, an offshoot of the Chinook
winds, the high pressure area began
its slow movement eastward and
southwark from here this morning.
Mr.. Arlington reported that.
even tonight without the warming
influence of the sun. the mercury
will not fall below IS. Although
the skies will be murky tonight and
tomorrow. no precipitation was ex-
pected.
Relief agencies. which have been
working desperately the last few
DAYS to relieve bitter privation
caused by the cold, received the
news Of warmer weather with great
relief. Hundreds of families on re-
lief rolls were struck severely by the
cold wave here and cried for fuel,
clothing and blankets.
So great was the rise in tenn
perature caused by the tempera-
mental Chinook winds that, in GER
tain parts of Canada, the mercury
had risen as much as "a degrees
this morning. Northern Montana
reported a rise of 50 degrees.
The rise occasioned by the Chi
nook winds will push the high pres
sure area responsible for the cold
wave to the east and south. Most
cold waves originate in the North
west. both in Canada and the
Urited States.
The cold wave was so bitter and
so sudden that many localities will
not recover from the damages for
some time
Roads were sheathed with ice in
northern Indiana and many local
streets were affected in the same
way.

Sheriff Otto Ray today proposed
to the Marion County Council the
restoration of the outlawed fee

drew his request for an additional
$4,000 appropriation to purchase au-

The sheriff said that, under a
system giving the deputies g.

posed that the deputies own their
own cars and that he finance the
purchases.

Construction Of
San Gabriel Dam

LOS ANGELES, Aug. II. W.p -
Edward A. Hyatt, state engineer,
today approved revised specifica-
tions TO complete, at S1l $4,000
cost, the construction of county
San Gabriel dam No. l after more
than eight months shut down. THIS
removed the last major obstacle
barring resumption of work, off,
cials said.
Work, employing 300 men, will
be resumed as soon as the superior
court validates a supplementary
contract between the West Slope
Construction company, dam build
ers. and the flood control district.
New plans provide for a larger
structure than originally planned,
and permit use Of finer materials.
They will raise the total cost, orig
inally estimated at 100000, to ap-
proximately s15,00O000.
Hyatt's action today followed ap-
proval given Saturday by the U. S
forestry service, which had joined
the state engineer recently in re-
jecting original specifications as
being unsafe and subject TO inter

ing checks ranging from $40 to
$4,000 as tips for sandwiches and

That the checks are no good was
announced by the Irving Trust
company for the benefit of the
constantly enlarging army of those
who, hoping against hope, have
transmitted the drafts, usually writ
ten on scraps of wrapping paper,
to their banks.
All Of the checks are drawn on
the Irving National bank Of New

them find their way to the Irving
Trust company which has a bulky
file tracing the Wanderings of the

Expect Inquest
VIII Clear Up
Fishpond Death

LOS ANGELES, Aug. u. U,R) -
William J. Bright, chief criminal
deputy sheriff, announced today
that the autopsy and inquest into
the death of Mrs. Mary James, is
expected to disclose that she
drowned accidentally in a fishpond
at the rear of her La Crascenta
home.
Bright said ne had no doubt that
the inquest, set for Thursday,
would clear Robert S. James, five
times married beauty parlor oper-
ator, of all blame.
From information given me by
the county autopsy surgeon, based
on the preliminary examination of
the body, it is apparent that Mrs.
James died of strangulation by
water and that it was purely acci-
dental" Bright said.
Bright's announcement appar-
emily closed a mystery which once
resulted in James being taken into
custody for questioning, after it
was learned that his fourth wife
had drowned in a bathtub in their
Colorado home.
Although DR.. a. F. Wagner re-
fused to corroborate the report in
yestigators said that a preliminary
autopsy and chemical examination
of Mrs. James vital organs failed
to reveal poison or other cause Of
death than accidental drowning.

ADMINISTRATION AGREES PACIFIC
DEFENSE MUST Be STRENGTHENED

ed, is reluctant to embark upon a
costly building race in the Pacific.
1t still is hopeful a new treaty may
be negotiated to replace the Wash
ington pact upon which Japan has
given notice.
Cabinet officials were reported
agreed that any treaty replacing
the Washington arms pact must
deal both with island Notifications
and naval strength in the Pacific.
This view, it was believed, may
have been emphasized by the re-
cent fleet maneuvers in the Pacific,
perhaps the most extensive in
American peace-time history.
While navy officials study results
of the maneuvers, other high au-
thorities contemplate means of
maintaining this country's su-
premacy in the Pacific. The Bland
Copeland merchant marine bill is
one evidence of this.
The bill is designed to strengthen
the U. S. merchant marine both
in the interest of commerce and as
an adjunct to the national defense
by strengthening of transport serv-,
ice.
1t is now before the senate, where
1t is conceded little chance of pas
sage this session. New dealers"
say. however, that it will be given
q preferential place next session.
Cordell Hull, secretary of state,
would not comment on the Situa-
ton. 1t is known, however, this
administration is virtually certain
to follow Stimson's Pacific policy
that Notifications Of the nations
Pacific possessions and fleet limita-
tionS imposed by treaty are insep-
arabic.
Reports that Japan would well
come a pact which would fix Pa
cific Notifications at the status
quo without imposing fleet limita-
tions created considerable discus
SIGN in the capital, despite indica-
ton from abroad that Great Britain
is not disposed to agree to future
fleet limitations.

ENGLAND HAS
NEW PLAN To
PREVENT WAR
Eden To Submit New Proposals
AT The Conference OF Three
Nations In Paris
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

tCOpYflgnt 1883 by united Press
LONDON, Aug. 12.-U.P)-An-
thony Eden. chief British delegate
to the British-French- italian con-
ference on the 1talian- Ethiopian
dispute, may take to Paris propos-
ais which will bring the entire
European problem into negotiations
it was understood today.
1t is no longer denied that Eden
will offer Italy entirely new terms
if it abandons its plan to war on
Ethiopia at the end of the rainy
season next month. and it was in
dicated the terms would recognize
officially what everyone already
knows-that the Ethiopian crisis is
inseparable from Europe's prob
lens and. whether there is war or
peace. will affect them yitally.
Eden conferred today with men,
bers of the government and those
who will accompany him. Tomor-
row he will leave for Paris. to be-
gin preliminary talks with Premier
Pierre Laval.
British opinion is pessimistic
The Paris conference is regarded
as the last hope for peace. Official
quarters continue to insist that
Great Britain is ready to do its
utmost to persuade Emperor Halle
SelaSsie of Ethiopia to grant far
reaching facilities but to oppose any
Italian claim to political control of
the old empire.
Germany Looms Large
1t has been indicated that Ethi-
opia is prepared to give such con-
ceSSions.
It was regarded as doubtful, how
ever, that Britain would get French
to a refusal to agree to
Italian political penetration as the
only means of averting the eX-
pected war.
Germany is going to loom large
in the negotiations and this is GER
tain to bring in the entire Europ-
can problem. Italy seeks, before
it starts war. to effect Danubian
pact that will remove any possible
threat of trouble in Europe. Ger
many has shown clearly that it
realizes its strategic position, and
is in no hurry to cooperate in such
pact.
This fact may be of important
influence as regards France. The
French government emphasizes its
desire TO maintain its new friend
ship with Italy. But Germany is
the real object of its interests, al
ways.
