of raising and spending money.
 Neither of the non-New Deal democratic slateS made 0 real fight against the Roosevelt ticket in Cal- ifornia. Leaders of both announced they would vote for MT. Roosevelt on the second ballot at Philadel- phia. Their objective was to make show of strength and to obtain representation on the platform committee at the democratic na- tional convention.
 Hoover Triumphant
 Mir. Hoover's indirect triumph in California probably will have only slight consequences so far as his personal political fortunes are con- cerned. It is not interpreted as Q development making MT. Hoover's nomination for the presidency any more likely now than previously since he left the White House.
 But the vote so far represents the first success of an unorganized stop-Landon movement which rap- idly is enlisting all other factions of the republican party. Landon is conceded to have Q lead toward the nomination and the only hope of persons interested in other candi- dates is to stop Landon first and then push their man.
 Significant Majorlties
 Significant in California and 1ndiana were the aggregate major ities given democratic candidates compared with republican aggre- gates.
 It could not be said that MT. Roosevelt and the other democratic states in California were in a di- rect contest against the republican delegate slates. But comparison of the aggregate votes showed that five more democrats went to the polls there Tuesday for each repub- lican.
 The Indiana democratic lead was slim but was accepted by New Dealers as Q good omen in a vital state. There was no presidential polling in the Indiana primary.
 President UnOpp0sed
 The fourth primary was in Ala bama where MT. Roosevelt was un- opposed although there was a strictly organization battle over the method of selecting convention del- egates. Neither was Mir. Roosevelt opposed in South Dakota. Tuesdays voting assured him of the delegates from those states and California, aggregating "A votes. There was nc republican presidential primary in Alabama. The republican delega- tions from California and South Dakota probably will be divided.

THURSTON WORKS
 ANOTHER TRICK

Jersey City, N. J., May 6.-(UP.- Howard Thurston, the magician, baffled another audience today from beyond the grave. His will, a strange document filed and admitted to probate by Surrogate John Gavin, ordered that his wife, Mrs. Paula Frances Thurston, forfeit his estate unless she keeps a secret agreement between them. If she fails-and ap- parently her own conscience is to be the sole judge-the money is to be used to build a Mausoleum in Columbus, Ohio. The will, as pug zling in many of It's features as some of the internationally famous con- jurer's tricks, did not state who is to determine whether the promise is kept. Surrogate Gavin said he be- lieVed the executor would have to interpret many of the provisions.
 Thurston'S adopted daughter. Jane Jacqueline Thurston, was left only $500, with the following com- ment: T am mindful of the fact that my adopted daughter has cauis- ed me great mental anguish and suffering and has caused me to spend large sums of money on her behalf through her whims and caprices and she has been, generally. undutiful to me-" She appeared with Thurston as an assistant during his tours of recent years.
 No mention was made of the size of the estate. Neither was there any mention of the maglcian's most valued possessions-the tricks and equipment for his illusions on which he spent thousands of dollars. At the height of his fame Thurston required several freight cars to carry his equipment. The will was dated Feb. .. 1886. and was witness. ed by Jan Rubini. violinist. and Thomas P. MacMahon. lawyer. Mac Mahon was named exccutor.

 Dalton charged the government with responsibility for the outbreak of the Ethiopian war and failure to carry out the terms of the league covenant especially the punitive ar- ticle l6. He also accused the gov- ernment of encouraging the Ethio- plans to resist the Italians and then leaving them to their fate, helpless, meanwhile suppling Mus solini with oil and other implements of war.
 Captain Anthony Eden, foreign secretary rebutting the charge that Britain had let the league down, recalled that all during the dispute. Britain had taken the lead in trying to curb Italy.
 "The British is the only govern ment which stated openly at Gen. eva that 1t considered oil sanctions should be applied" he said.
 "The weakness of the sanctions which were imposed was that they could not be immediately effective. I always knew that"
 "The only sanction that could have been immediately effective was to deny Italy the use of the Suez Canal" Eden continued. That must inevitably have led to war.
 "If the government did not press for military sanctions, tt was due to q horror of war and fear Of the ultimate outcome"
 we must admit the failure ot the league in the dispute and admit our own disappointment" Eden said. adding:
 "The league must go on"

New England Inquiry
DiscIoses 3 Were
Poisoned

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June IS
G.N.SO Insurance investigators
from several New England cities
came here today to join State
police in a probe of a suspected
mass murder insurance racket, "
thought responsible for at least
35 deaths in western MaSsachu.
sets.
Investigators conferred today
with District Attorney Thomas
F. Moriarty on the evidence OBJ
tanned from three definite poison
deaths.
Insurance investigators were
checking q list Of about 400 pol
icy holders in suburban towns,
and concentrated on 35 persons
supposed to have died from natu-
raj causes and on whom large
insurance payments were made.
Ringers" Suspected
It was revealed that in many
cases these policies named as bene.
ficiarieS persons who were not re-
lated to the insured, and in some
cases were total strangers. One in
vestigator said his job was to check
on the physical examinations given
those taking out policies, with the
possibility that ringers" had
taken the examinations.
Other checkupS showed, i1veSti-
gators said, that many persons, ap-
parently impoverished, were in
sured for amounts ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000, and had unre-
lated beneficiaries.
Revelation of the alleged racket
resulted from the deaths of three
men, Frank HalgaS and Frank
Krol, both of Ludlow, and Jacob
Znoj of Chicopee. In each case.
death had been pronounced acci-
dental or from natural causes.
AutopSieS, however, showed large
amounts of poison in the vital
organs.
Judge Ordered Probe
Municipal Court Judge George
L. Haas ordered the post mortem
examination of the victims, de-
claring he had been suspicious of
an insurance murder racket for
IL years, but had never had def
mite evidence.
Halgas was found lying in the
street, apparently victim of hit
and-run motorist. Krol tumbled
down a flight of stairs to his
death in his boarding house.
Znoj died apparently of a heart
attack.
