President Lazaro M. Cardenas to-
day ordered Lieut.. Col. Rodolto
Sanchez Taboada to take over
the civil government of northern
Lower California, ousting the eX
isting regime because of alleged
violations of the laws prohibiting
gambling.
Gen. Rafael Navarro Cortina
was relieved of his duties as both
civil and military governor. Gen.
Manuel ]. ContreraS was named
new military commander. The
ousted governor was accused spe-
officially of tolerating gambling at
Aqua Caliente and Tijuana.
Cardenas said in a statement:
"The President has received
frequent complaints that in the
territory of Northern California
there has been a renewal Of
illicit activities converting the
region of our frontier into q
center of vice.
From the beginning the
present administration has been
characterized by an express ban
on gambling houses, whether
for nationals or exclusively for
foreigners.
"These houses impede the
policy of placing our country
on a plane of greater respect.
They prevent our working
classes from obtaining neceSsi-
ties of life as a result of
ilIusOry fraudulent play which
consumes their salaries and eS-

friends and neighbors Of 16-year-
old Helen Meyer, slain Coates

ties today placed a heavy guard
around the Chester County Jail
cell of Alexander Meyer, 20-year-
old farm boy.
Precautions to protect the prls-
oner reached even into his cell
as police made every effort to
conceal Meyers identity from
other prisoners.
Feeling against the former re-
formatory inmate reached fever
pitch last night at CoateSville
when a corners jury, after five
minutes deliberation, recommend
ed he be held on a charge Of first
degree murder. The jury also
issued a condemnation OF the
parole system which permits de-

Meyer, who served IA months in
a reformatory for shooting two
Philadelphia girls who resisted an
attempt to attack them in 1884,
was not present at the inquest,

COW again so long as soybeans will

Agent j. P. Quinnerly. The beans were
planted in rows and the dairy animal
turned in as soon as the beans were
knee high. Mr.. Prevatte found that
the beans grew faster than the cow
could eat them and as result of this
grazing milk production was increas-
ed and the COW needed less attention

have monopoly on the young
catchers of base ball, haven't been too
successful with youngsters. Brusie
Ogrowdowski is hitting just above
200. and Mickey Owen is not doing
that we'll. AS for the rest of the ma ajor
league catchers, most Of them have
been up for years, and if they were
outfielders or inf1elders they would
have slipped back to the minors, per-
haps, or at least deprived of regular
jobs.
