Greater An,berjack
is "Mystery Fish,
President Caught
Smithsonian Experts Say
Specimen Is One of
Most Perplexing.
Ey the Associated Press

6y Ihe associated PrcSS.
The Smithsoian Institutions sci
entists took one glance yesterday at
President Roosevelt's mystery fish"
and identified it as greater amber
jack.
But no wonder the President
couldn't identify it," said DR.. Alex
ander Wetmore, secretary of the in
stitution, into whose hands the block
or ice containing the 30-pound fish was
delivered
1T is one of the most unusual and
most perplexing fishes known to SCI
ence, and even scientists dispute its
place in the animal kingdom"
The President caught the fish while
on his Bahama expedition. Unable
to identify it in his fish book, he had
it brought back to Washington for
study:
THE greater amberjack," DR.. Wet
more said, belongs to fish group
that is considerably involved because
of individual variations in different
specimens. Some fishes of this type
have deep and some have slender bod
les. Some authorities consider both
belong to the same species, but we
classify them at the Smithsonian into
two species.
''The Presidents fish belongs to the
slender division and we have classified
1t as seriola lanlandi"

TRAFFIC SCHOOL
T0BE SUGGESTED
Accident Prevention Confer.
ence for Penalizing Vic.
Iators in Cities.
BY the Associated Fress.

BY the Associated Fress.
A plan for cities to sentence traffic
violators to a school to learn how to
drive safely will soon be suggested by
the Presidents Accident Prevention
Conference as g. method by which
cities might help cut down the number
of automobile deaths.
The plan already has been adopted
by Milwaukee, which as the big city
with the fewest traffic deaths has been
selected as a model in the traffic drive.
Under it the Judge Of the TRAFFIC
Court is given the job of deciding
whether the offender might profit
more by instruction than by a money
or Jail penalty.
If he decides in favor Of the school,
the offender is sentenced in the regu-
lar manner and paroled on condition
that he take the traffic school course.
Hardness, failure to attend or fail
ure to complete the work properly
brings the offender back into court
for revocation of the parole.
In the beginning only first offenders
we're allowed to go to the school, but
later the Judge became convinced that
proper instruction was more effective
than punishment in correcting a
wrong driving attitude. Therefore,
some persistent violators are now en-
rolled.
Each person Is required to attend
two nights a week for three weeks.
Glasses begin at 7:30 and last an hour.
After the roll call the instructor gives
half-hour lecture. and the rest of
the time is given over to discussion.

KAHOKA. Mo. April 11.-Shoved
into the background by startling dis
closures that her baby figured in an
alleged S250,000 hoax, Anna Ware, un-
we'd servant girl, remained in seclu-
sion tonight as her court room ap-
pearance against Mrs. Nellie Upton
Muench was put off until Monday.
AS she did in st. Louis, when she
won back her child from the custody
Of Mrs. Muench and her husband, Dr.
Ludwig o. Muench, Miss Ware will tell
how she permitted her baby to be
taken from her, regretted it, and then
fought to recover the child.
Days Testimony Dull.
In contrast to the sensational rev.
elations yesterday, testimony was dull
In today's session of the trial of DR..
and Mrs. Muench Mrs. Helen Berroyer
and Wilfred Jones, an attorney, on a
charge they attempted to evade adop
ton laws in obtaining the Ware baby.
The case was brought here from St.
Louis on a change of venue.
Testimony was given to support the
States declaration that Mr.. and Mrs.
j. R. Palmer of Memphis for whom
Jones said he had procured the Ware
baby, we're "flctional images of Mr..
and Mrs. j. R. Plummer of Mime
apoliS.
Mrs. Plummer appeared as witness,
and from her and Julius Klein, St.
Louis newspaper man. the State
brought out that descriptions of the
"Palmers" as given by Jones fitted
the Plummers. They included such
details as that Palmer was born in
Indiana and his wife in Ohio. that he
wore a lodge pin and that his wife
was a. Catholic.
Basis of Perjury Charge.
Jones testimony regarding the
"Palmers" was given in Miss Ware S
suit to recover her child and was
made basis for perjury indictment
now pending against him.
High light of the testimony in the
case SO far was the assertion of DR..
Marsh Pitzman. wealthy, socially
prominent st. Louis physician, that
Mrs. Muench attempted to dupe him
into believing he was the father Of
her gift -from-God" baby.
Mrs. Muench had so characterized
the child in announcing what a court
later called her false claim Of
motherhood"
Dr.. Pitzman corroborated blond Mrs.
Grace Caroline Thomasson, who, as
serting she had once been a party to
the conspiracy. said Mrs Muench
hoped to get s25OOOO from DR.. Pitz-
man through the baby.

AN OPINION
AT SECOND HAND

A San Diego newspaper uses its edi-
torial columns to berate lettuce grow
ers and shippers of Salinas for their at
titude toward so-called arbitration at
tempts to end the harvest shed strike.
Now the growers and shippers the
editorial says, "are presented with an
excellent opportunity to demonstrate
that they are the fair and reasonable
men they would have the world believe
them to be-
Shades of General Glassford! Do
those San Diegans know what hocus
pocus can materialize in the guise of
arbitration? Or, for that matter, do
they think the growers and shippers
are losing thousands of dollars Just
for the fun of seeing nondescript strik-
ers parade through the streets with
banners and pieces of cheese labelling
shed employees "ratS?" 1t seems from
here that brain the size of a pin could
conceive the truth that the growers and
shippers, more than anyone else, would
like to see peace come to Salinas.
One Of the conditions of the plan so
heartily endorsed by the San Diego
paper provides that 'strikebreakers"
shall not be re-employeG. The strikers,
in other words, say to the employers:
You take us back-and you slam the
QOOI III lllt ldCcS VI lIlcIl WHO nave
ed you try to meet your overhead these
last few weeks"
Imperial Valley knows what some
forms of so-called arbitration mean.
There was the famous instance when
the strike committee returned from
conference with growers representa-
tives, at which great strides seemingly
had been made toward peace, and an
nounced that their every demand had
been denied; that the striker delegation
had been practically thrown out of the
conference. Naturally it made the body
of the Strikers angry, But there wasn't
word of truth in it.
Perhaps the growers and shippers at
Salinas, even as in imperial Valley,
would like to be fair. Only-you cannot
blame them for wanting to make as
much for their days work. at least,
as do the men who work for them.

BRAWLEY'S POWER PLANT
OUTLIVES PESSIMISTS

The thriving young giant of industry
that is the Brawley power plant, oper-
ated by the Imperial Irrigation District
for the people of Imperial Valley, must
be something of a shock, and not an
electrical one either, at the end of its
first six months to those pessimists who
foresaw only brief span of life for the
enterprise. 1t shows no signs of an early
demise In fact, it shows every indica-
tion of living to ripe old age, and max
ing the time between youth and old
age a profitable one to the people.
Operation of the Brawley plant for
the last six months has proved several
things-among them the fact that COM
pletion makes for lower rates, and that
people can furnish themselves with
power without finding themselves billed
on the tax lists for the job.
The Imperial Irrigation District, as
the peoples agency, is to be congra-
tulated upon the efficient, economical
operation of the Brawley plant. While
the plant itself serves electrical energy
only to consumers in the Brawley area
its influence has been noted throughout
the rest of Imperial Valley.
AS yardstick of what publicity own

Big Push What They Wanted
Roosevelt Talks Way To Cheer :. His
COP Calls Him SLicker

NEW YORK-President Roosevets campaign
speeches may not be changing any votes, but
they certainly do make the colonies, captains
and corporals in his ranks feel mighty good.
The presidents big push was what the boys
and the girls had been waiting for. After his
first admittedly political blast at Syracuse they
thought he was just so grand that they ran
around with wide grins and happy laugher.
Most of them cherish the theory that their
man is showing himself TO overtoWer Landon
by such a distance that therell hardly be any
point counting the ballots
G O. P leaders feel their best hope Of off
setting the impact Of campaigning Roosevelt
is TO convince the country that he is political
slicker, a man of glittering words, schemlng
trickster with few scruple5 and one whose radio
speeches must be heavily discounted.
Republican effort to undermine RooseveltS
effectiveness by increasing popular dlStrust OF
him is taking the form according to indications
from O. O. P sources, Of stressing various al
legged slippery" episodes of the campaign
just before the Republican convention OBJ
Viously was to go on record with strong clVl
service plank, the president ordered thousands
of additional postmasters under civil service.
Anticipating Republican attack on high taxes
and national debt he summoned Senator Fat
Harrison from his Missouri campaign TO
assure the nation that there would be no need
of new taxes at the next session.
After Landon had been billed for speech
at Chautauqua N. Y. Roosevelt suddenly went
on at the same place some days IN advance
with fighting speech for world peace which
many considered carefully planned TO flatten

When Fathe rCoughlin was holding the
stage in Cleveland Roosevelt suddenly showed
up there and stole large part OF the show.
The White House issued blast at Hearst
Just before that publisher was TO launch a new
Journalistic Red" attack on the administration.
Then there was the crop insurance incident,
when Republicans felt that Roosevelt had OBJ
tained advance knowledge Of Landon's Des
Moines speech and consequently uttered some
