BELIEVE PAIR IN 200 BURGLARIES SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.—Police today were checking back on the amazing trail of Thornald Rasmussen and his pretty wife Julia, who are being held on charges of burglary following Rasmussen's alleged confession that he and his wife had staged at least $200 burglaries in the Richmond and Sunset residential districts of San Francisco in the last two years, in which they obtained loot valued at more than $50,000. According to the police, the wife acted as lookout while he burglarized homes, carrying away their loot in a big red automobile. His capture came about through an injury sustained, according to the police; when chased by a dog. His leg caught on a nail as he vaulted a fence, and required hospital treatment. Jewelry was his specialty, according to the police. He would dispose of the gems, they said, through pawn shops and melt the gold into bars. Digging in the cellar of his home, they recovered five gold bars valued at $500. INTERNAL FUSSES CONTROL MANILA MANILA, Nov. 5.—Internal political squabbles today had largely replaced the anti-Wood movement directed against Governor-General Wood by the coalitionists. The Nacionalistas threaten to leave the coalition unless a Nacionalista is selected to succeed speaker of the house, Roxas, who is booked to sail for the United States to carry on the independence fight. The Nacionalistas claim that the Collectivistas under Senate Leader Manuel Quezon, plan to dominate the legislature, Quezon, Roxas and Senor Osmena, another Collectivista leader, are unable which should go to the United States this month, and it is possible that the disagreement will result in no one going.

DEMAND DELAY IN UNMASKING KLAN OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 5.—Opponents of a movement to drive through the senate and house of representatives anti-Ku Klux Klan legislation, prior to the completion of the Walton impeachment trial, apparently had the upper hand today. Those insisting on delay in final action on the legislation to unmask the klan, pointed out that a joint investigating committee should give a full report to the legislature before the bill goes through. House and senate are scheduled to meet at 3:30 this afternoon. During the day, a number of committees probing various state departments were in session. NEW FIGHT FROM INSIDE ON K. K. K.

BACKS, Clever By Blanche Hill Deputy Clever Publish Oct. 29; Nov. 5, 12; and 26; Dec. 3, 10, 17 and 2 ORGANIZE ALL U.S. RECLAMATION DENVER, Nov. 5.—Following two day conference here with engineering of the U.S. Reclamation Service, Secretary of Interior Hubert Work announced a reorganization of the reclamation service on what he described a "railroad basis"—putting the actual construction work various projects under the supervision of a chief engineer with quarters in Denver, and concluding the operation phase of the project in the bureau at Washington. Secretary Work announced that complete "house cleaning" provision had been going on within the reclamation scheme will be active immediately. The secretary said that the position of the director of reclamation had been abolished and some employees in the Washington bureau dismissed, which will remain an annual saving of $20. Under the new plan," Secretary Work said today, "construc-tion and operation will be entirely complete. When a project is conducted, it will be turned over to the operating department for tenure." Secretary Work declared "con-duits in the reclamation service been really serious" and ex-pected the belief that under the utilization, the "reclamation area will be put on its feet." MAINS OF BONES POINT TO MURDER S ANGELES, Nov. 5.—A murder was believed uncovered today at Hawthorne following the finding of a gunny sack during what is declared to be charred remains of human life. Recovery of the bones gave rise to a speculation at the sheriff's office, which is investigating case, that they might be those George E. Schick, mysterious real-time broker of San Francisco. Should Mother Die So Babe May Live CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 5.—Should a mother's life be sacrificed so that her unborn child might live? This is the problem today facing physicians attending Mrs. Harriet E. Sullivan, 21, who, police say, was shot and probably fatally wounded by her husband, Lawrence J. Sullivan, war veteran, on the eve of her divorce action in court. One of the bullets severed Mrs. Sullivan's spine. She was about to become a mother. If her life is to be spared, specialists say, it is almost certain that the child, who is about to come into the world, will not live. If a Caeserian operation is performed, the child's life may be saved, but the mother probably will die. Final decision rests with the mother, as she is conscious. Meanwhile, the physicians hope that nature may come to the rescue and successfully perform a task which is puzzling medical science. SEEK SLAYER OF ELEVATED CASHIER CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—A desperate elevated railway bandit, believed to have worked without confederates in his attempt to loot the 29th station at the south side L. shot down and killed Charles H. Johnson, night cashier at the station, early today. Johnson was shot thru the heart and died without giving police any clue to the identity of his slayer. Johnson's revolver, found inside his cage, with one cartridge discharged was mute evidence that the cashier had fought off the attack before he fell. Nickels and dimes were strewn about the floor of the cage but police believe that the bandit got no money before he fled. Officers have been able to find no witnesses of the shooting, leaving them with slender con- SECOND PRODUCER AT COMPTON SOON At Compton the Davis-Macmillan Syndicate will probably have the honor of being the second producer in the field. The Davis-Macmillan Syndicate as drilling at 3800 feet, and has been making splendid progress. The L. B. Chase Oil Co. is about to start drilling in the Compton field. The Chase Oil Co. has completed a rig on the Lo-rande property. The Stan-Roe Drilling Co. will do the drilling for the Chase organization. The drilling company is a unique organization in being made up of old heads of four out of five of the largest oil producers and developers of the California field. C. C. Julian is making every effort to recover his Pico well after drilling it to a depth of 4060 feet, and seemingly just on top of production. So far Julian has not been successful, and as he himself has said, "It may be necessary to order a coffin." Development work in the west extension so-called of Santa Fe Springs has as yet not brought anything very encouraging. The M. and H. Oil Co. failed to shut off water on its first job at 4462 and has re-cemented. The bottom of the hole is 200 feet deeper than the shut-off and the management claim to have found something good. Judgment is withheld until the cement is drilled out and the well tested. The First National Petroleum Co. went below 5000 feet, found nothing that looked like oil, came back up to 4575 and will try out some showings noted in the drilling. Artesia is "all het up" over its oil prospectus. The cement was drilled out of the test well last Sunday at 4260 feet, and it will be several days before the bailing test is conclusive. Drilled to 4615 feet, the Artesia well has had some good showings, particularly gas, and although the experts are against it, it may prove a surprise and make some oil. The 5th of November is the big day scheduled for Bellflower. On this date it is understood the JUSSERAND WILL OUTLINE POINT PARIS, Nov. 5.—France regard regarding the prophecy reference of international tions experts is to be orally to Secretary Hughes by Jules Jussery French ambassador to the States, according to the office.

REALTY MEN HELP A committee has been appointed from the Eullerton Realty Board to co-operate with the industrial committee of the Fuller- ton C. of C., it is announced. The Realty Board committee is composed of W. N. Hunt, S. N. Fuller and H. H. Crooke. PARLIAMENT FIGHT PEKING, Nov. 5—The attempt of the Chinese parliament to elect a speaker today ended in hand-to-hand fighting among the members. The French gold frane question and the American-Japanese wireless tangle facing the new government have reached a deadlock. However, there are prospects of solutions being reached. ARTESIA is "all het up" over its oil prospectus. The cement was drilled out of the test well last Sunday at 4260 feet, and it will be several days before the bailing test is conclusive. Drilled to 4618 feet, the Artesia well has had some good showings, particularly gas, and although the experts are against it, it may prove a surprise and make some oil. The 5th of November is the big day scheduled for Bellflower. On this date it is understood the Keck Drilling Co. will drill out the cement in the Calpetro and find out what is what in Bellflower. Persons claiming to have the "inside dope" on the Bellflower are not hesitating to say that well will make a producer. How ever, opinions on the outcome of the well seem to be about evenly divided. With the Consolidated Mutual's Wilkes well down close to 5400 feet, Hermosa Beach will have to content with a resort and not an oil field. The well was drilled carefully, many sores were taken and a lot of money spent in an exhaustive test. The Amazon Drilling Co. has put Inglewood's chances off the map for an oil field with a test hole drilled to 6045 feet. At no time did this well show favorable indications and the 6000-foot hole is considered ample proof of dry territory.

HUTCHINSON L. N. S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.—A clique of favorites, holding high offices in the U.S. Veterans' Bureau, evaded the laws of congress to pay out government funds to their friends, Dr. David O. Smith, government expert, testified today before the senate investigating committee. The clique used its powers in paying "unjust" compensation claims and invading the bureau's rules covering insurance claims, Dr. Smith said. The witness called attention to scores of examples in the administrations of both Colonel Charles R. Forbes, former director, and General Frank P. Hines, present director. POMONA MAN BUYS RENFRO INTERESTS Eugene Middleton of Pomona has bought out the interests of M. P. Renfro in the Cherry Blossom. Jack Harvey will remain as manager. Renfro, who is the coach of the Bonita high school at LaVerne, could not look after his interests in both places. The business here, according to Harvey, has been booming. SKULL BELIEVED OF EARLY INDIAN SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 5.—The Santa Barbara man whose skull was found here last week lived long after the Neanderthal men and was not a product of either the paleolithic or neolithic ages, according to scientists gathered here to investigate the discovery. Among the eminent archaeologists who have joined in this statement are Dr. Robert Hill, W. S. Kew of the U.S. Geologic Survey, Dr. Chester Stock, U. of C. professor of vertebrae paleontology, and Ralph Arnold. The skulls found, however, are of great age and belong probably to the earliest Indians. They indicate a culture, according to Dr. Stock, etherofore unknown to the history of the American continent, and form an important link in the chain of human existence. Surveys of the Burton mound under which the skulls were found, will now be made, it is announced, and excavations will be continued in an effort to locate more relics of past ages.
