MYSTERY DEATH
PROBE CONTINUES
Police Believe Chemical
Tests Will Show How
Mrs. CoIombos Died.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GLENDALE. Calf, July 5.-Uncom-
pleted chemical tests were believed by
police today to hold the answer to the
mysterious death Of Mrs. Marie Colom-
hos during a visit by q vaudeville
hypnotist.
Robert A. Gilbert. 49-year-old mes
merist known on the stage as THE
Great Gilbert" was in custody on sus-
picion of murder pending a coroner's
report.
Admitting he had been with the
young expectant mother when she died
| last Thursday at her home, Gilbert
told police he had been asked to call
by her bartender husband, George CO.
lombos.
Claims Many Inquiries.
George told me she didn't want to
have the child. didn't think could
be Of any help" he said.
Since recent publicity that his hyp-
motto suggestions enabled Mrs. Ethel
Pardie Gaynor to give birth painlessly
to child, Gilbert claimed to have re-
| ceived many inquiries from other
women.
But the trouper insisted he did not
subject Mrs. Colombos to any treat
ment. She collapsed, he said, when
lifting a l50-pound day bed from the
floor after her husband had left on an
outing with their l7-month-old dauRh-
ter.
Climbs Out Window.
Alarmed, Gilbert applied artificial
respiration to the unconscious woman.
Failing in that, he locked the door.
Climbed out the back window and
drove off, because Il realized that I
was in another mans home and it
would be rather difficult for me to ex-
plain why was there and why called
doctor"
Asked by officers for his opinion on
what caused Mrs Colombos' death. the
hypnotist said he vas informed she
was In weakened condition and had
taken several medicines.
The bartender married her in St
Louis four years ago.

We undertake to perform faithfully.
Let me emphasize, that from this
point on, the success Of this recovery
program will depend upon the speed
with which our municipalities move.
With SO working days left In which
to act, our cities will have to produce
faster than ever before. They will
have to draw their plans more rapidly,
maze decisions more quickly end file
their APPLICATIONS with alacrity. This
will mean burning the midnight oil,
but have enough confidence in the
vigor and intelligent self-interest Of
our cities to believe that they will do
this If necessary. p. w. A. has never
spared the midnight oil, and We will
not economize in this regard until our
new program is well on its way to
assured success.
There Is much at stake. Involved

orders for tremendous quantities Of
cement. brick and tile. heating and
plumbing materials and other con-
struction materials. To fill these pros
pective orders, means that mill and
mine, factory and forest in their turn
once more will find a market for their
products. Wherever raw materials are
produced or fabricated and wherever
products are transported, handled or
distributed, the recovery effect Of the
new P. w. A. program will be felt.
Towns and cities have greeted with
enthusiasm the Inauguration of the
new P. w. A. program. In our seven
regional ofices applications were filed
in great numbers long before the 1888
act had been passed by the Congress.

had signed the bill nearly 1900 appli-
cants were clamoring for attention.

lished three definite headlines which
vitality affect the program. First, p.
w. A. was ordered not to accept any
application after September 80 Of this
year. This means that after tonight
cities, towns and States have only SO
working days in which to file applica-
tions for q share Of the billion and q

ton. In further limitation the Con-
gress has ordered thgt all projects
must be under construction within 26
weeks from today and be substantially
completed within "a months after
enactment Of the bill.
Perhaps these limitations will bar
many meritorious projects. Perhaps
they will cause many local disappoint-
ments. But there they are and you are
warned Of them tonight. Communi-

OF -the-Site Work.

These great dams are not excep-
tional in their influences so far as
off-the-site work goes. In the con-
struction of the Danville power project
in Virginia. a P. w. A. job, these major
material purchases were made: Wood
stave pipe from Oregon; steel from
Maryland and Pennsylvania; cement
from Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ten
nessee; finish materials from Mary
land and Ohio; brick from North Caro-
lima, Ohio and Virginia; electrical
equipment from New York and Penn
Sylvania: valves from Massachusetts,:
stone and lumber from Virginia and
North Carolina; conductors for trans
mission lines from Rhode Island and
Maryland; insulators from Maryland,
and poles from Georgia and North
Carolina. The general contractors on
the work were from Illinois, Virginia.
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Oregon. Maryland. West Virginia and
New York, while the engineering con-
tractor was from Massachusetts,.
No matter where any project is
built other sections profit. The P.
w. A. program is one of truly national
portions and benefits:
During the past five years, American
private industry has received more
than two. billion dollars worth of orders
for P. w. A. projects. The P. w. A.
program has made possible the pur-
chase from American firms of hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of
textiles, chemicals, stone, clay and
glass products, iron and steel, and
machinery and transportation equip
ment. The individual items covered in
these orders ranged from asbestos to
zinc and included such UNEXPECTED
articles as one and a third million
dollars worth of gas and water meters,
q half million dollars worth of window
shades and $4,000, 900 worth of rail-
way locomotives. Cement orders ex-
ceeded $l90,000,0 900 and up to last
December sl85. 100000 worth of struc-
tural steel had been purchased.
Recently. in an effort to create more
business, the steel companies an
nounced a reduction of prices. This
willingness of private business to CO.
operate with the Government to i'm
prove our economic situation Is highly
encouraging. The example Of this
great corporation, If followed in other
lines Of business. as It ought TO Be. WIN

behind the line.
The man who drives the nail. who
lays the brick. who mixes the concrete
or who installs the pipe has two and
one-half invisible helpers back of him.
The invisible worker may make dvna-

he earns his pay because of P. w A

Stimulation Is given to markets in
industrial sections far removed when a
contract for the construction of a

remote Western site. A tremendous
number of products, many of them in
large quantities, are used in the build

loads of brooms were worn out sweep

another layer was added to Boulder
Dam. Likewise, more than 1000 miles
Of 1-inch pipe are being embedded in
Grand Coulee Dam to carry water to
cool the concrete. Theer are many
such unexpected items.
Expenditures for materials spread
the benefits of heavy construction in
widening circles. More than half the
cost of the foundation of Grand Coulee
Dam went to buy products in 40 States
and the District of Columbia. and
additional millions were expended for
freight to haul to the dam site every-
thing from tin hats to refrigeration
equipment. Seven States participated
by supplying materials costing more
than one million dollars in each State.
OF these, two, California and Washing
ton. were in the West; three, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, were Midwestern;
and two were on the Atlantic Sea-
board. 1000 miles from the point on
the Columbia River where the dam is
being built. These were New York and
