SENSATIONAL CHARGES IN DEATH QUIRY Shepherd's Photo 'Look Like' Man Who Bot Typhoid Germs CHICAGO, Maren. 5.—McClu OF GIANTS Believed to Be Largest Pre-historic Ruin in Western Hemisphere ST. THOMAS, Nev. March 5.—Pueblo Grande, Nevada's long lost city, believed to have been the seat of a primitive people, of giant stature, who ruled western American centuries before the dawn of history, was today being gradually restored from the ages by excavators working under M. R. Harrington, director of the museum of the American Indian, who is heading the Heye Foundation expedition into the unknown prehistoric metropolis in the Muddy and Virgin river valley, near here. Exploration has been going on for months, but only recently, according to Mr. Harrington, has excavation uncovered almost incontrovertible evidence that the once lost city will prove to be the largest pre-historic ruin in western hemisphere. Big, sturdy, round adobe buildings, some containing as many as 20 rooms, with hard glazed floors, under their circular courtyards have been excavated, revealing the graves of a vanished race, with the average height of the skeletons found to measure over seven feet. A woman wrapped in a feathered blanket was found in one circular burial place, with a set of newborn twins buried with her. From what can be seen at present, the whole planning seems to having been circular, the houses having walks radiating from a center sacrificial altar or ceremonial fireplace. In many mounds already unearthed Mr. Harrington has found beautiful shell jewelry, artistically cut heads and decorated pottery of fanciful design, in addition to quantities of crude hunting implements and other primitive tools. Several sets of perfectly formed dice, some with the corners rounded, were discovered in clay urns indicating a fondness of this race gone by for the thrill of gambling. The area embraced by Pueblo Grande is eight miles wide and extends intermittently with 150 outeroppings for 35 miles down the Muddy and Virgin river valleys.

Graves appeared doubtful whether the jury of lawmakers would be able to agree on its recommendations to the legislature before late this afternoon or tonight. The committee is deliberating behind locked doors. SACRAMENTO, Mar. 5.—Confronted with a mass of conflicting testimony, the legislative committee probing charges of extortion involving former Assemblyman Brackett, Senator Edgar S.

The "legislative jury," locked up at 8:30 a.m., is expected to reach a decision on and file a resolution of recommendation with the assembly. The final act of the three-day legislative probe was featured by the testimony of Assemblyman Smith, of Alameda-co., author of the so-called "cinch" bill, who flatly contradicted many of the statements made by his predecessor on the witness stand. Arthar Opimus, chief clerk of the assembly. DEATH QUIRY CHIOAGO, Maren. 5.—McClintock death probe turned to sensationalism again this afternoon when a woman proprietor of westside biological laboratories brought in by the city wide cheekup on all such institutions, identified a picture of Wm.

Detectives from the state torturers office, from which they announce was made, were sent out immediately to bring Sheherd in to confront the woman.

Miss Pope declared today at time of McClintock's death had "no suspicion he died other than natural causes." And now—well, I don't know she declared. Miss Pope declared her fiancé foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. liam D. Sheherd, were "meary" and that while she did intend to make any effort to attain an $8000 annuity left by McClintock's will, that she herds wanted all of the youth estate. "It know the Shepherds' jealousy of me, particularly Shepherd," Miss Pope said. I could understand her attitude being that of an older woman had cared for a boy she was too lose by marriage. "The Shepherds were mine." I knew that and Bill PLAN 20 MILLION VET BOND ISSUE SACRAMENTO, March 5.—Amended to provide for a bond issue of $20,000,000, instead of $10,000,000 as specified in the original act, the Veterans farm and home purchase bond issue bill was passed out by the soldiers and sailors committee of the assembly-man with favorable recommendation.

The final act of the three-day legislative probe was featured by the testimony of Assemblyman Smith, of Alameda-co., author of the so-called "einech' bill, who flatly contradicted many of the statements made by his predecessor on the witness stand. Arthur Opimus, chief clerk of the assembly. Questioned concerning the testimony of Opimus who had emphatically denied offering money to Smith to kill the herb bill, Assemblyman Smith told the committee that the assembly clerk proffered him $500 "to lay of the bill." The assemblyman quoted himself as replying to Opimus that he could get $5000 for killing the herb act but would not do it because he was "absolutely for the bill." Sen Hurley, who was charged by Chinese witnesses with accompanying former Assemblyman Brackett to Dr. Fong Wan's establishment in Oakland when demands are alleged to have been made for money to kill the bill, told the committee that he went merely to recommend Brackett as a lobbyist. Senator Hurley declared he was a warm personal friend of Brackett, adding, however, that "Brackett's reputation is not the best in the world, and neither is it the worst." "I have ex-convict friends" he continued, "and I suppose some of my friends now may some day be convicts." HOPES TO START TRIP HOME TODAY VALENCIA, Spain, March 5.—Lieut. Osborne C.

JUSTICE County Supervisors After Veteran Dry Law Advocate What observers declared was the first step in an effort to force Justice of the Peace C. W. Warner of Huntington Beach from his office was taken today when it became known supervisors had authorized the district attorney's office to take legal steps to regain $200 for the county treasury. Judge Warner, according to information given the supervisors had been collecting $10 a month for rental, whereas in reality his office is in the city hall at Huntington Beach and he pays no rent. The supervisors also authorized the district attorney's office to take legal steps to force the office to be vacated, and it was stated by Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson that this probably would be done today or tomorrow. At the same time it became known that County Auditor W. C. Jerome is holding Justice Warner's last month's check for $100 and that he would hold this month's check for the same amount, both making the total the supervisors claim has been taken illegally from the county treasury. Judge Warner a few weeks ago was ousted from his office as city recorder at Huntington Beach, presumably on his strenuous stand taken against convicted bottegger arrested in the recent county-wide dry raids. In case Auditor Jerome withholds Judge Warner's money, it was conceded that if the judge fought the case he would have to bring these proceedings himself. On the other hand tape obstruction would be brought by the district attorney's office, it was said, with a citizen of Huntington Beach being the complaining witness. Malleusance in office, because of the asserted rent sensation, likely would be charged, it was stated. In court circles it was understood that Justice Warner had been asked to resign, but that he had refused to do so. His stand is said to be that in his opinion he has done nothing that warrants his resignation. He is also declared to have said he had an arrangement whereby he was to put in his bill for rental, even though he estates to the end.

SENATE RILED BY GENERAL "Legalize" Unceremonious Proceedings of Yesterday WASHINGTON, March 5. — A formal, the mild "hazing" was meted out by the senate this afternoon. CASH PRICES FOR FRUIT MOUNTING How are prices going to shape up at the opening of this season? Will there be a repitition of the season of 1922 when five cents and up was offered for fruit on the trees? Everybody in and about Anaheim who owns a grove—and that includes merchants, realtors, and professional men—are watch ing the situation with more care than ever this year. According to A. W. Fullerton, assistant manager of Pepper & Miller of Olive, who claims his house is the largest cash purchaser in the county, a forecast is only a forecast so far. Nevertheless Fullerton is inclined to think that this season will witness a repetition of the price conditions which prevailed in 1922, the previous frost year. Asked regarding reports that that 5 to 7½ cents per pound on the tree was being offered for fruit, Fullerton was skeptical, but admitted that prices would reach that point. However, fruit would have to be good. The inspectors certainly would enforce the 15 per cent rule strictly. E. E. Bruns, of Sunkist-ave, has been offered 6½ cents for his valencias, it is said. Other ranchers, it is understood, have been approached, also. The cash purchasing season will start early, in the opinion of Fullerton. By the 25th of this month buyers will be active. Fullerton's house will ship 38 cars of navels purchased for cash, of which eight cars will be moved this week and next. Fine in six cars of miscellan- Unable to agree on the guilt of Charles B. Wheatley, Santa Ana newspaperman charged with forgery, a jury in Superior Judge Z. B. West's court at Santa Ana was discharged at 9 o'clock last night after it had been deadlocked for six hours. The jurors reported to Judge West they stood six to six on all then, ballets they took. The second trial was set today to April 24. Meantime a preliminary hearing of Wheatley on a charge of grand-larceny, arising out of the disappearance of $10,000 from the county treasurer's office last summer, was postponed from today to April 1. Wheatley in the trial just finished was accused of being the man who appeared in the treasurer's office more than two years ago in false moustache and other disguise and attempted unsuccessfully to pass a forged warrant for $5322. Testimony at the trial was to the effect that a coat and cap found in his house after he had been arrested at work in the Santa Ana Register office fitted the description of the ones the mysterious man wore on the day he attempted the crime. The man, it was also testified, was approximately the same size as Wheatley. Milton Carleton, handwriting expert of Los Angeles, declared that the writing on the forged warrant was identical with that on newspaper "copy" that was seized at the Register office, and written by Wheatley. The only evidence in Wheatley's defense was that given by GENERAL "Legalize" Unceremonious Proceedings of Yesterday WASHINGTON, March 5. — A formal, tho mild "hazing" was meted out by the senate this afternoon to Vice-President Chas G. Dawes for his unceremonious adjournment of the senate yesterday before new members had finished subscribing to their oath of office. On the motion of Sen. Reed, Dem. of Mo., the senate unanimously adopted a resolution "Tegalizing" the proceedings of yesterday. Adoption of the resolution was preceded by a faintly sarcastic speech by Reed in which he called attention to the importance of staying within the rules governing senatorial procedures. When the senate convened at noon today, Sen. Hale, Rep. of Me., and Sen. Reed, Dem. of Mo., both demanded recognition from the chair. After a moment's hesitation, Vice-President Dawes recognized the Maine senator. Hale said he had "noticed in the press certain criticisms" of the vice-president for not returning to the senate yesterday after the conclusion of the Coolidge ceremonies, in order to preside. Hale said he took the blame for this and wanted to explain to the senate how it happened. "After the president concluded his speech," said Hale, "the president and Mrs. Coolidge, and the vice-president and Mrs. Dawes left the stand and started down toward the cars. The vice-president said to me 'I must return to the senate to preside; how do I get there.' I informed him that he was not to return to the senate, but was to go to the White House to review the parade. It was a misunderstanding on my part. If there is any blame attached to it, it is mine." Sen. Ashurst then obtained the floor: "Mr. President," he said, biting his words off, "I saw in the press this morning certain criticisms attributed to me of the vice-president: I rise to a point of personal privilege to say that there are certain parts of the vice-president's speech with which I am in accord. My criticism was directed at the unseemly and untimely interruption by the vice-president of the ceremonies of the new senators taking the oath of office." General Dawes stood erect behind his chair and said nothing. Senator Curtis, Rep. leader, then obtained a recess and the appointment of a committee consist- E. E. Bruns, of Sunkist-ave, has been offered 6½ cents for his valencias, it is said. Other ranchers, it is understood, have been approached, also. The cash purchasing season will start early, in the opinion of Fullerton. By the 25th of this month buyers will be active. Fullerton's house will ship 38 cars of navels purchased for cash, of which eight cars will be moved this week and next. Five or six cars of miscellaneous fruit will be shipped, also. Valencias will be purchased at about the same time as the miscellaneous, the house taking care of these varieties in the case of ranchers who sell their valencias to them. ROAD CELEBRATION Officials of the Auto Club of So. Calif., Los Angeles C. of C., All-Year club and Los Angeles city officials will be invited to attend a celebration of the opening of the state highway between Los Angeles and Newport Beach on March 21 by towns interested.

March 5. — Police launched an investigation today of the death of Mrs. Jessie Gilchrist, head of a Pasadena real estate firm, who died following a face peeling operation in a beauty parlor.

My criticisms was directed at the unseemly and untimely interruption by the vice-president of the ceremonies of the new senators taking the oath of office." General Dawes stood erect behind his chair and said nothing. Senator Curtis, Rep. leader, then obtained a recess and the appointment of a committee consisting of himself and Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, to inform the president that the new senate had organized and is ready for business. A recess was taken until 2 p.m. Senators Curtis of Kansas and Robinson of Arkansas, the majority and minority leaders, called at the White House at E'clock to advise President Coolidge that the senate had assembled and was ready for business. WASHINGTON, March 5. — The smouldering resentment the senate feels over the "dressing down" it received at the hands of Vice-President Chas. G. Dawes, came to the surfaice today a few minutes after it met. With General Dawes himself in the chair, Senator Ashurst, Democrat of Arizona, succeeded in getting into the record his opinion of General Dawes' action yesterday as "unserely and untimely." Ashurst's criticism was directed not at the speech of the vice-president in which he denounced senate rules, but at the general's action in interrupting the swearing of new senators to "shoo" everyone out of the chamber for the Coolidge inaugural ceremonies. Republican leaders succeeded in shouting off any extended criticism of General Dawes by obtaining a recess until 2 p.m., in order to notify President Coolidge that the new senate is in session and ready for business. However, it may only be delayed as several senators, among them Reed, Democrat of Missouri, endeavored to get the floor during the brief opening session. WASHINGTON, March 5. — Vice-President Charles G. Dawes is in for a hot time in the exercise of his constitutional action of presiding over the senate. Washington considered this certain today—and looked forward to the fire—(Continued on Page 10)
