Judge Vaughn N. Thompson, who

mality as Poe already was in Gus

ment proceedings were conducted.

for the crop, however, growers were
not discouraged by the damage,
believing that the resulting de-
crease in shipments would bring
higher prices for shipments now
rolling, particularly for Tuesdays
harvest.
Baughman anticipated som c
slight damage to young alfalfa.
Citrus was not harmed nor we're
the tomatoes in the INLAND area.
Temperatures ranged from d
minimum of 26.8 at a station south

MAD DOG NEAR
SCHOOL SOUGHT
BY POLICEMEN


Harding school children remained
inside the school building during

while police searched through the
neighborhpod for a mad dog seen
on the school grounds
The rabid animal was first re-
ported, then disappeared before
Officer Charles Schlanze arrived.
Jim Scroggins, dog catcher, later
joined the hunt, finally locating the
dog. The animal was impounded
for examination by Dr.. Warren F..
Fox, city and county health officer.
Teachers at Harding school re-

dication or the resignation of the
cabinet.
The cabinet has notified" the
king, or in technical phrase "ad-
vised his majesty" not to marry
Mrs. Simpson.
The king thus far has refused
to accept the cabinets advice.
At present the situation is dead
locked.
The cabinet gravely anxious,
met today at No. 10 Downing
street. where for two centuries
the country's problems have been
discussed.
1t was believed because OF the
pressure of affairs, including the
Spanish problem, another special
meeting would be called to discuss
and decide the constitutional crisis.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
has threatened, unless the king
promises to accept the cabinets
advice" to rush through parlia-
ment bill making it compulsory
for any sovereign to obtain the
approval of the privy council for
his marriage.
The king has counter-threatened
TO refuse to approve any such bill.
The constitutional question Is a
most thorny one, because of the
probable difficulty of forming an
other cabinet in the event Baldwin
resigned.
1t was learned that an editorial
in today's Times, referring to the
possibility that children of the
Duke of York, the kings brother
and their presumptive, might reign
was written with deliberate pur-
pose.
Present indications arc that the
method of solution of the crisis
will depend largely upon the state
of public opinion.
So serious was the situation to-
day that publication of the pro-
gram for the kings Forthcoming
tour OF distressed areas in south
Staftordshire, was postponed. The
program was to have been issued
thi, afternoon. Now Monday is
the day.
1t was hintcd that it might
even be announced that the king
was "indisposed" as an excuse for
abandonment of the tour.
