THREE CHILDREN
Mrs. Trissie Gonzales is now
35 years old. She was married
to AL. Gonzales, then assistant
secretary to j. E. Frawley, Book
Cadillac manager, in the early
1905, and their first child,
Ralph, was born in Detroit in
1888. After serving with the
Ralph Hitz Hotel Management
Company, operators of the Book
Cadillac, from 1925 to 1888,
Gonzales accepted an offer OF
the assistant managership of the
swank Manila Hotel, in his ma
tive islands.
His departure, with wife and
son Ralph, was the occasion for
an important banquet at the
Book Cadillac, at which 80 top
flight hotel executives gathered
and presented him with a
purse and signed scroll OF ap-
probation. A Detroit automobile
si:-sr11eave Mr.. and Mrs. Con-
s new automobile for cfieir
drive 10 the west coast Wnere
they embarked on a Pacific lux
ury liner.
High in the good will Of the
Hitz hotel chain, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gonzales named their first child
Ralph after the president Of the
concern, who often visited with
them.
Gonzales was an ardent ad-
mirer and friend of Frank Muir
ply, both as Governor of Michi-
gan and Philippines Commits
soner and the two often dis
cussed Filipino problems togeth-
er, in Detroit and Manila.
After leaving Los Angeles
July Is, 1885, the Gonzales fam
lily toured China and Japan be-
fore arriving in Manila.
Subsequently they wrote and
sent photographs of themselves,
the large Manila Hotel and the
attractive suburban home they
owned just outside the city. On
birthdays and holidays they sent
cablegrams and extravagant
gifts. Happiness encompassed
them when their two younger
children, Elizabeth and Freder-
ich were born in Manila.
Then came the Japs and the
silence which the Cooke family
hopes will be broken with good
news before long.

For Mr.. and Mrs. Bruel, this

slavs, reached home on the ex-
change ship Gripsholm and sent
word to the Bruels that their
daughter and only child was
alive at Santo Tomas.
Mrs. Boguslav went to Manila
in the summer of 1887, follow
ing her graduation with de-
gree in journalism from Mary

manned to work on the Manila
Tribune, marrying Boguslav, city

years.
FORMAL CHARGES
The formal charges against
Colepaugh and Gimpel, who the
FBI said were trained in schools
for spies in Berlin, Dresden, and
the Hague, were:
Cd That they violated the
law of war, that as enemies of
this country they secretly passed
through our military and naval
lines for the purpose of commit
ting espionage, sabotage and
other hostile acts.
CD That they acted as spies
for the German Reich in viola
ton of the 82nd article of war.
CD That as enemies they con-
spired, plotted and planned to
commit certain acts of espionage
and sabotage.
DEATH MANDATORY
A spokesman for the Second
Service Command said that if
two-thirdS of the members of
the commission voted for con-
viction on the second charge
that they acted as spies - the
death sentence would be man
datory.
Conviction on the other two
counts would bring long prison
terms, he said.

URUGUAYAN DAM AIDED BY U. s.

MONTEVIDEO - (P) Power from a new Rio Negro river dam may be flowing to Uruguay's in- dustries in the near future if war difficulties permit completion of the dam. Lack of shipping is the major bottleneck, since a $l2,000,- 900 U. s. loan and priority aid re- vived the s37 7,OOoOOO project aban- doned by German contractors when Uruguay broke with the Axis.
 The dam is one of several pro- jects for Uruguay rivers to reduce expensive imports of coal and oil. A 150-mile power line is being built to Montevideo, and Uru- guayan workers await material for other installations. The hope is that one of four projected genera ting units can be installed by June.
