DEATH TOLL
THOUSAND PER DAY

HENDAYE, FRENCH-SP
FRONTIER, Aug. 20. U.R - on
thousand men are dying each dag
in the Spanish civil war, it was
estimated here today.
Their burial Is con1ronung the
people of Spain with a problem
which they must solve or f3ce the
threat of an epidemic of disease.
United Press reports from Lisbon
and Gibraltar, the key frontie!
points, are that the problem is be
ing met in ways that may meat
as many as one-third of the vic
TINS will remain forever as un-
known soldiers, their bodies burn
ed in piles or thrown into common
graves to be covered with quick
lime.
French government authorities
were understood to have ordered
establishment of a special sanitary
service to guard against the spreao
of possible epidemics from Spain
Unconfirmed reports from San
Sebastian say typhoid has appear
ed there.

Japanese influence
In Schools Charged

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 90 UP)-
Vierling Kersey, state superintend
ent of public institution, today
studied charges that textbooks are
being used in California's public
schools as instruments of japanese
propaganda designed to influence
the state favorably toward re-
growth of Japanese immigration.
The California joint immigration
committee, headed by James K.
Fisk, state American Legion depart
ment adjutant, submitted a sum-
nation of allegations to Kersey il
which it was asserted a book writ
ten by Walter G. Hoffman entitled
Pacific Relations" embodied Jap

any new rates." HeWes said. 1--WE
are operating Oh The plan develop
ed more than three months ago,
computing commercial rates as we
discover the load required by con-
SumerS."
Moore's attack was the bitterest
yet launched by a private power
agent on the municipal program
He charged the district with pre-
venting the power company by in
junction from electrifying rural
areas, while failing itself to do so
Seven hundred farms have applied
for Southern SierraS service, he
said, and been prevented from OBJ
tanning it.
Remember" Moore declared
that this $400 which valley taXpay-
ers have had spent for them on
each Brawley custdmer is but the
beginning. The yearly deficit on
this invested plant must be borne
not by BraWley residents but by
taxpayers in all sections of the val
ley. Braw1ey pays but 28 per cent
of district taxes"
Method of Figuring
The $400-per- customer estimate,
Moore explained. was arrived at by
assuming $400,000 as the cost of
the districts diesel plant and lines,
and dividing that figure by the
1000 customers obtained by the dis
trict in its three months of power
operation.
when the board first started to
advocate its pet power scheme, y
Moore continued, sit predicted that
it would get approximately 100 per
cent of the customers as soon as it
started selling electricity. Ever
since then it has gone ahead on
this mistaken assumption. Yet at
the height of its diesel plants pop
ularity and novelty, the board has
less than 35 per cent of the power
business in Brawley. Many of its
customers are already returning to
the Southern SierraS lines"
Except for remarking that tax
payers will not be called upon to
pay any of the cost of the Brawley
plant, Chairman Hewes of the dis
trict board refused further comment
until he had an opportunity to per
use Moore'S full statement.

for the Winter meeting last December
Rogers Hornsby conducted quite a
campaign intended to lure Kuhel to
st. Louis. He proposed swap involv-
ing First Baseman Jack Burns OF the
Browns and another player, but Grif1
turned it down.
Only one did Griff seem to weaken,
and that was when Julius Solters'
name was brought up in discussion
with Hornsby, but it is doubtful If
the Washington president was serious,
inasmuch as Rogers previously had
declared that he would not part with
6olters at any price.
It might be rather far-fetched to
link Schultz and Kuhel and their
broken pins. but there is no guarantee
that the effects won't be the same.
If their reactions continue to parallel
it will be a terrific blow to Griff's re-
building campaign. for Kuhel occupies
q prominent place in his plans for
the future.
