The Champlain has been held up
three days and many passengers
scheduled to sail on her transferred
to the British liner Britannia for

Officials were still hopeful that
the new Normandie. one of the
largest liners ever built, would be
able to start her maiden voyage to
New York on May 30, as scheduled.
The finishing touches are being
put on the big steamship despite
the strike. Many observers, how

she would sail on time.
Efforts of merchant marine au-
thorities to end the controversy

GLANDALE, Calf, May l8. UD
"A cash and carry" version of
the dime letter" racket was doing
a thriving business here today.
The new scheme which promises
a $128 return on an investment of
ST was started by John j. McCabe
and Mrs. Jessie Rosenteld.
They opened headquarters in the
front of a dry cleaning establish
ment and within an hour patrons"
were lined up for two blocks anX-
ious to deposit their dollars.
The originators of the latest
craze maintained it is fool proof"
inasmuch as every participant
brings his dollar to the headquar-
ters from where it is mailed to the
top name on lists of seven persons.
Within a few hours after the
first headquarters" opened, four
places were doing thriving busin-
neSSeS.
Chief of Police V. B. Brown con-
ferred with City Attorney Bernard
Brennan in an effort to halt the
new craze.

find any law under which 1 can

INCREASE IN
COUNTY TAX
COLLECTIONS
Substantial Gains In First Four
Months OF Year Reported By
West

Tax collector s collections for the

total for the first four months of
this year is $28,657.45 as compared
to $27,954.52 for the same period

lections are particularly interesting
when the monthly comparison is
made as they show the additions
made to the county's revenue by
collection Of the automobile tax.
In January of 1884, before the
counties were given the automobile
collection tax, there were no COL
lections reported while in 1895,
$1,81741 was collected; in Febru-
ary, 1894, $35974 was collected as
compared to $2,144.15 in 1885.

though a slight falling off exists to
date; collections in March of '34
were $13,168.0l and $9,38O.37 in '35;
in April, collections were $14,426.77
in '34 and $l5,315.52 in '35.

DIR. PACE REPORTS FINE PROGRESS
IN ELIMINATION OF T. B. CATTLE

Wonderful progress made n I'm
perial Valleys tuberculosis eradi-
cation program is shown in the sec
ond test of dairy cattle made by
DR.. J. G. Pace, county veterinarian,
results of which, with the eXcep-
ton of the past weeks tests, show
that out of 1909 cattle tested on
ly 3.5 per cent were reactors, or
500 animals.
These figures do not include some
5000 COWS which were from herds
which in the first test showed 100
per cent pure. The true percent
age of reactors, if these COWS we're
included, would be even lower thus
bringing tire valley even closer TO
its aim, that of y of one per cent
reactors, which would permit it to
apply for recognition as a federal
accredited area.
In the first tests, completed on
ly six months ago, $4,000 COWS were
tested and 1850 cows eliminated as
reactors, 1913 per cent of the total
or 30 of the mature cows.
Those whose COWS are being ELI
minated in the second test are
given an indemnity of approximate
ly $40 per head, which is a higher
indemnity than that in the first
test due to the fact that the price
of cattle has advanced and that
also, there was no basis for ap-
praisal at the time of the first

Pet Chipmunk
Causes Arrest

Because he failed to leave a pet
Gagged chipmunk in Yuma before

land, 38, of Stafford, Arizona, was
arrested here at 2 o'clock this NOR
ming by local police and booked at
the county Jail on charge of vio-
lating section LOG of the state agri-

bridge.
The offending chipmunk was
also incarcerated in the county jail
along with its owner.
Kirkland with his wife and two
children had started this morning
on vacation trip into California
which was interrupted by his ar

Torrential rains today flooded low

were missing.
Mrs. Gowens' body was not re-
covered Immediately. The missing
included her son-in-law, Carl Nc

McAlpine, 10, and five Negroes.
Mrs. Gowens was drowned when
she lost her grasp on tree to

the first test last summer, $25-27,
says DR.. Pace, was the price of a

would cost from $45-57
Last spring some 5000 cows were
being tested under a combined
state and county program, this pro-

state, through lack of finances, was
unable to carry on the work and
the cooperation of the board of SUI

Joaquin Lopez Engaged In
Burning Insulation Off Wires
As Caps Explode
FOUND TRASH ON DUMP
Police Investigating How This
Dangerous Material Was Left
In Exposed Place
FOUND TRASH ON DUMP

While engaged In burning the
insulation from copper wires to
which were attached dynamite caps
for blasting purposes, Joaquin Lo-
pez, 80, received face and body
burns from which he is not expect
ed to recover. The accident hap
pened at his home, 232 Brighton
street, at 1870 o'clock this morning
Lopez, according to police who
investigated the accident, had
found the wire and caps on a dump
north of the city and brought the
stuff to his home for the purpose
of salvaging the wire which was
later to be sold to a junk dealer
He knew nothing of the dangerous
caps, each about three inches long,
which were attached to the wires.
1t is said that Lopez, who was
alone in his yard at the time of
pthe accident, was leaning over the
fire stirring the ashes to greater
heat when the explosion occurred.
1t is not known how many of the
caps exploded but several were
found in the neighborhood, thrown
from the fire by the force of the
explosion.
> Police are making a thorough in
vestigation of the whole matter
particularly as to how the caps
came to be thrown onto the dump
heap.
Latest reports from the county
hospital to which the injured man
was taken are to the effect that
his condition is extremely serious.
Numerous particles of the wire were
driven into his face, arms and up
per body which were also severely
burned. His eyes, particularly, re-
ceived the full effect of the blast
and it is feared that should he re-
cover from his other wounds his
eyesight will be either totally de-
stroyed or seriously impaired.

contribute to violence from now
