UBIQUITOUS to know how a

The district attorney told the jury
Yesterday that johnson had deposit
ed a total of $1,500,000 in personal
accounts in two banks during the
past seven years. The jury was meet
ing to investigate all angles of state
treasury shortc ge of $4,000 and the

Assemblyman Leon M. Donihue,

the report merely was Donihue'S

would not let anyone place gag rule

the emasculation murder of the
middle-aged professor who won

vile w. Zenge, Missouri farm
youth, arose from sound sleep
today, his taciturn cOmposure I'M
changed.
A jury of young men last night
found him guilty of numbering DR..
Walter j. Bauer, 38. zenge, now
26, will be eligible for parole in 20
years.
His only hope is that a motion
for new trial will be granted.
On a front row bench in the
crowded courtroom when the ver-
dict was returned sat j. Andy
zenge, ST., Canton, Mo, farmer and
father of the defendant. Beside
him was his 23-year-old son, Jun
ior. Both had testified Vaudeville
was insane at the time of the MUIR
! der.
Mrs. Louise Schaffer Bauer, the
young widow, for love of whom
zenge allegedly committed the
crime, was not in court.
The defense based it's final plea
to the jury on an emotional appeal
for mercy for a youth who assert
eddy was the victim of maniac de-
pressive insanity after he was Tilted
by the girl he planned to marry.
Testimony of Mrs. Bauer, how
ever, tended to show that although
she and zenge had an under
standing" for seven years, his ardor
cooled until he learned she was to
marry Bauer, professor at Kinks
vile, Mo-, school of osteopathy, last
July. Then he attempted to per-
suade her to break her engagement
and marry him, the nurse testified.

GENEVA, Oct. 10. UP
The general staff of the
League of Nations penalties
committee today adopted a
proposal for a complete boy
colt of Italian goods, effective Oct
ober 81.
The proposal was referred at
once to the full penalties commit
tee comprising SO league members,
for final adoption tonight.
The general staff, composed OF
l8 key nations, agreed to keep in
permanent session from now on, to
watch closely the application OF
penalties.
Great Britain meanwhile received
a definite promise from France to
support if Italy launches a Medi-
terranean attack upon the British
navy.
Yes in Nine Pages
The French reply, in which Pre-
mier Pierre Laval took nine pages to
say Eyes" was couched in such terms
as to provide the British foreign
office with considerable. satisfaction
According to authoritative cir
cles here, the agreement takes the
! form of a promise of cooperation il
Britain is attacked by Italy while
acting not as an individual but as
a league policeman in the Mediter-
ranean. France is believed in return
to have asked for q British pledge OF
aid if France is attacked by Ger
many.
Italy Approached
Great Britain initiated urgent di-
plomatic negotiations with Italy anc
insisted that France join actively ir
them, it was indicated, in the belief
that Italy might attack Egypt anc
the Sudan at any time.
These negotiations deemed likely
today to lead to the following agree
mentS:
l. Italy will withdraw most of thu
tens of thousands of troops it ha.
sent to Libya, which adjoins Egyp
and the Sudan on the west and i
separated by them from Ethiopia.
2. Great Britain will remove
small portion of its cruiser strength
from Gibraltar at the west end o
the Mediterranean.
3. These ships will be replaced b,
French units.
4. Great Britain will undertak,

This will leave only a short sec
ton of the canal between Laguna
Dam and Imperial Dam site, about
four and one half miles, not actu-
ally under construction or for which
bids have not been called" Evan 7
Hewes, Imperial Irrigation District
chairman, said today in comment
ing on the call for the Imperial
Dam and desilting works construc-
ton bids.
The new dam from which the irri-
cation system of the district will re-
ceive its water is to be an earth fill
dam similar in construction to La
guna Dam and will be located in the
Colorado river about five miles north
of the Laguna Dam.
Some idea of the immensely of this
project can be cleaned from the form
of invitation for bids furnished by
the government. This shows that eX-
cavation work of all classes for the
dam and works will amount to 1888
800 cubic yards. Eighty-five Thousand
cubic yards of gravel will be usec
and los, 1000 cubic yards of concrete
poured.
Gigantic Undertaking
The bid will call for the use OF
$4,000 pounds of structural steel
1,184.0OO pounds of roller gates anc
hoists. 1,169,700 pounds of radla
gates and hoists; 100000 pounds o.
metal pipes, fittings and valves ano
1872, $50 square yards of dry rock paw
ing. This includes only a small por'
ton of the materials and supplies
which are to be used in the building
of the dam.

quirements. Bidders were also mott
fled that liquidated damages for de
lay will be $500 per day.
No estimate had been made by tn
district on the cost of the work.
Desilting Works
I'm view of the fact that there
much discussion and difference c
opinion as to the necessity of con
structing the desilting works at I'm
