BEVERLY HILLS ARRAIGNME'T OF SHEPHERD DELAYED Disappointment to Great Aggregation of Court Room Spectators CHICAGO, Mar. 21—Arraignment of Wm. D. Shepherd and Dr. Chas. C. Falman on indict- Bodies Stored in Refrigerator Cars ST. LOUIS, March 21—Ten refrigerator cars went forward from St. Louis today to the storm areas of Illinois at the request of undertakers to be used for storing the unidentified dead and the bodies of those who will be buried in other states. One hundred cases of embalming fluid and 100 coffins were also sent from here. FRANCE STILL STUMBLING INJURED DE STORM TO INCREASE Ever-Swelling List Dead Will Not Checked for Week BENTON, Ill., March 21—Illinois' vast area of broken and shattered cities resume DELAYED Disappointment to Great Aggregation of Court Room Spectators CHICAGO, Mar. 21—Arraignment of Wm. D. Shepherd and Dr. Chas. C. Palman on indictment charging them with murder of Wm. Nelson McClintock was adjourned until Monday, plea were entered and no definite action taken. Only one witness, Palman, was placed on the stand. It was a disappointment to the greatest aggregation of court room spectators assembled here since Leopold Loeb trial. A few tilts between defense attorneys and assemblage of counsel for state and nonnotorious outline of defense argument by Atty. Wm. S. Stewart, was all that rewarded them for their hours of waiting and fighting for places of vantage in the court room. There were no surprises. Stewart's opening plea followed lines which for several days have been expected he would take. He sought quashing of indictment or at least release of his client on bail, be told the court, first because indictment, setting forth that typhoid germs as a poison did not constitute a capital crime in Illinois, and secondly because of character of testimony on which indictment was based. The defense, however, received one severe setback when court ruled with State's Atty. Robert E. Crowe on objection to efforts to discredit Palman, atar witness for state. With Palman on stand, it was brought out that medical sciences courses leading to diplomas in pathology, bacteriology, obstetrics, chiropractic, post graduate surgery, dentistry, dramatic arts and music were offered at Palmans' school and that of these Palman taught pathology and bacteriology. "Do you also teach fortune telling, dancing and plumbing?" Stewart asked. "That's a lie," Palman responded indignantly. The defense then brought out that Palman had no license to practice medicine in Illinois and that he was not a doctor. Then the questions turned to Palman's acquaintance with Shepherd. "You claim to know Wm. D. Shepherd?" Stewart asked. "Yes, air." When did you first see FRANCE STILL STUMBLING BLOCK? WASHINGTON, March 21. France is still proving stumbling block in efforts of Pres. Coolidge and Baldwin ministry of Great Britain toward staging of second arms conference in Washington next fall or winter, it was admitted today by Administration officials. Some days have elapsed since Pres. Coolidge publicly proclaimed American willingness to invite powers to Washington for another arms reducing parley, and in that time reactions of world capitals have been carefully noted. France alone of all world powers directly concerned has been cold to proposition. The Partisian press, taken here to reflect attitude of French government, has been downright hostile. French objections to again coming to Washington are based primarily on two grounds: 1-A belief that second arms conference would inevitably result in limitations being placed on aircraft and submarines, two arms in which France is now energetically engaged in strengthening herself to offset British-American and Japanese naval supremacy, and 2-Unwillingness to submit to further disarmament or restriction of any kind without accompanying pact by which other world powers, including United States, guarantee her security and present borders. This security pact was part of French-promoted plan, by which League of Nations was going to stage disarmament conference. It has now collapsed, thru Britain's unwillingness to commit 'herself definitely and irrevocably to French alliance. And it was collapse of Geneva scheme; that prompted Pres. Coolidge several weeks ago to state way now appeared open for America to take lead in promoting another conference. SHATTER RING OF BENTON, Ill., March 21. Illinois' vast area of broken and shattered cities resumes mous task of burying its dead, it was apparent today swelling roster of death would be checked for days and we do Death, still alert and methodically continued to over devastated paths of W day's horror.

The defense then brought out that Falman had no license to practice medicine in Illinois and that he was not a doctor. Then the questions turned to Falman's acquaintance with Shepherd. "You claim to know Wm. D. Shepherd?" Stewart asked. "Yes, air." When did you first see him? In November of 1923. What part of the month? The first week, I think. And where did you meet him? At my office. Was anyone else present? I do not recall that there was. State the conversation that took place. He had come in response to a letter which he sent and in an answer to which I sent John Marcheand, one of my assistants, to see him. Marchand had suggested that he come and see me. We spoke about a course in bacteriology and he asked about prices of laboratory equipment. We spoke about a microscope, and I told him it would cost him all the way from $40 to $400. Was this conversation in one room? No. I think I showed him about several classrooms. Was there anything said about McClintock? When did you see Shepherd again? The second day afterwards. Where? At the school. What happened? We went into laboratory and I explained in detail laboratory procedure. I explained the incubation of micro-organisms, showed him some slides and tubercular and typhoid germs. Did you have any cultures there at the time? Yes.

SHATTER RING OF AVACODA THIEVES John Mangles of Los Angeles was being held in the county jail today charked with the theft of 400 pounds of avocados from the ranch near Cypress owned by A.P. Manz. A portion of the fruit was recovered when Mangles was taken into custody at his Los Angeles establishment, officers stated. The avocados were worth $200. The arrest marks the third involving avocados to be made by deputy sheriffs in a week. The authorities believe they have broken up a ring that has preyed on ranchers throughout Orange-co. For the theft of fruit from the ranch near Yorba Linda owned by Mrs. W. C. Harper they arrested I. Gomizz of L. Habra and L. Venezuela of Los Angeles. SEEKS GYPSY GIRL FOR $50 ROBBERY A Gypsy, "Jane Doe," was being sought today by H. A. Yarnell, battery station owner of Newport, mulched of $50 in bills by the comely Spanish girl. Yarnell, so the story goes, "kidded" the girl when she beeeched him to have his fortune told, and then pulled out his purse and gave her a dime. In the operations a billbook containing $50 disappeared from the rear pocket, Yarnell declared he learned later, much to his discomfort. He swore out a complaint against "Jane."

J. Carmichael, city trustee and member of the police committee, a 22-year-old youth named Wilson from Berkeley, recommended for chief of police to succeed former Chief Artnur Eells and the present acting chief, F.J. Yates. Carmichael is quoted as saying the new man would teach the present police how to run the department. Notwithstanding those who interviewed him, say the youth has never had a day of active police service in his life. He is supposed to take over the police department May 1, according to Carmichael's purported plan. Trustees today, however, alarmed by ominous rumbling of discontent among the people, refused to discuss the matter. O. M. Thompson, member of the police committee, whose recent "flop" to the "wets" made the discharge of Eells possible, said today there is nothing to give out but that a statement regarding the matter will be made later. It is thought possible the trustees will rescind the purported plan before the gathering storm. WOOD WINNER IN INITIAL BATTLE SACRAMENTO, March 21 — Victory in first battle over Deuel bill, which provides appointive state director of education to supervise state teachers colleges today rested with forces led by Will C. Wood, state deputy of public instruction. After bitterest debate of present legislative session, assembly education committee last night refused to vote out bill without decomposition. OF TURNADO Overworked Coroner's Juries Forced to Work in Relays The path of Wednesday's tornado was a funeral land today. Everywhere in the five states which felt the death-laden breath of the storm, victims may as yet be unidentified, were being committed back to earth from which they came—lald to rest separately, by twos, but threes and by dozens, in soldiers—dug graves. And simple white crosses conjuring up a picture of other such symbols across the sea, stood forth to mark the trail of devastation. A total of $22 bodies, according to latest check today, must be buried. Health authorities have ordered this work to proceed as quickly as possible as dread possibility of pestilence has arisen from already prolonged delay, necessary because of inadequate facilities for work and because there have been hopes that additional victims would be identified. So today and tomorrow, gaunt, hollow-eyed survivors in storm areas of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, were to stand solemnly by yawning death pits to give their last goodbye to wives, mothers, children sweet-hearts and friends, snapped into eternity in twinkling by awful force of cyclone. Today's revised casualty lists showed 666 killed by storm in Illinois; 98 in Indiana; 34 in Tennessee; 22 in Missouri; 18 in Kentucky. These figures vary but little from yesterday and it is believed final death toll will bring only minor additions. The exact toll, Red Cross officials admitted, probably never will be known. There were some victims actually annihilated in wind terror. Others were removed to different towns. And there may have been scores of visitors in section who will not be missed for weeks. Today eyes of those in stricken areas turned for first time to reconstruction and with funerals over, concerted efforts to rebuild devastated area is expected no devastated area is expected to start. There is possibility that some towns will not be rebuilt. Rescue workers say that Parrish and De Soto, Ill., and Griffin, Ind., are virtually completely razed and intimate that they will be left as they are—a permanent record of storm.

Ouervel At West Frankfort four passed away and three bodies were recovered, sending total there to 129 and so it was thrust entire area of Misery. The great task before medical corps had early today practically exhausted supply of morphine used to soothe hundreds of palm-wracked men, women and children, and chloroform supplies have diminished alarmingly with accomplishing of perhaps 200 individual operations, mainly amputation of arms and legs. An appeal for airplane delivery of these precious opiates and anesthetics went out before dawn, but while surgeons and physicians separately apportioned their remaining supplies, a deeper fear was reflected in possible attack of resilience. The springing up of tended homes an crudely constructed shacks with sewage and sanitary conditions generally deplorable state has provided ground basis for these apprehensions. Isolation has been resorted to whenever patient develops symptoms of disease, they are rushed out to those carefully patrolled outlying stations. Relief work among 10,000 homeless in Missouri and Illinois, however, has settled down to systematic routine. Each stricken city has its emergency relief association, composed of local business men and elvic organizations. Clothing and food, contributed and varriving by train loads, are being distributed by tireless forces of gallant Salvation Army, churcens, lodges and Boy Scouts. Wearing apparel was grimly numerous. Men were dressed in odds and ends of clothing of both men and women. Men were wrapped in women's coats and remaining uninjured children prove difficult problem in distinguishing sex. Small boys were wearing daffy little dresses and small girls were running about tumbled ruins in trousers and caps. Occasionally little group assembles and innocently trade garments. Medical detachment, 129th infantry Illinois National Guard, with major ord of Plano in command, Capt. A. J. Roberts of Ottawa assisting, has arrived and thrown its resources into medical relief bases. Companies I and K, with hundreds of special police officers, have ordered well preserved in Franklin-co. WOOD WINNER IN INITIAL BATTLE SACRAMENTO, March 21. Victory in first battle over Deuel bill, which provides appointive state director of education to supervise state teachers colleges today rested with forces led by Will C. Wood, state supt, of public instruction. After bittertest debate of present legislative session, assembly education committee last night refused to vote out bill without decommission. Deadlocked and with opponents of measure demanding it be killed, committee finally passed bill on file to avert all night session. Backers of Deuel act led by Assemblyman Charles H Deuel and Florence J. Obrien, Richardson apointee on state board of education, insisted at public hearing that measure did not represent attack on Supt. Wod btu had been introduced in effort to provide more efficient supervision of teachers colleges. The opponents charged bill was "a direct slap at Will Wood" and demanded it be allowed to die in committee. They contended bill would result in "double headed" educational system, with state superintendent of public instruction in probable conflict with director of education. HOPES OF RECOVERY M. Veyna, ranch worker, 602 East Chartres-st, seriously injured Thursday when the car which he was driving collided with a locomotive Euclid-ave, is reported improving. The attending physician said today hopes were bright than at first, although he was unable yet to predict recovery. He said it would be impossible to say for a few days yet. PASSES BAD NIGHT LONDON, March 21. The condition of the Earl of Ypres, operated upon two days ago, was still causing anxiety today. His physicians announced the patient had passed a bad night. During the war, the earl, as Lord French, was field marshal of the British army. SHIP FIVE CARS One car of lemons and four of St. Michael oranges were shipped from Fullerton this week. PRINCETON, Ind., March 21. A new horror—flood—threatened this afternoon to take its place alongside death, famine and pestilence in southwestern Indiana devastated district. Simultaneously, it was announced death toll in Indiana had mounted to 102. The swirling waters of Wabash, still littered with debris from storm, were rising alarmingly and it was feared stricken area would be inundated any moment.

Chitty for Rush; phone 8 NEWBURYPORT, Mass., March 21.—Sarah McPherson, who had lived here 51 years, is dead and with her death today was revealed the great secret of her life—she was a man. For 51 years Sarah McPherson wore dresses with becoming modesty, followed the usual avocations of women and in employment worked at women's tasks. Only one person knew the secret—a man friend. Insistence of his mother that he wear dresses, even when he was old enough for long trousers, started him in the famine rut. McPherson told his only confidante. Use of a razor kept his beard from his face. A perfect wig aided the transformation. His feet, squeezed tight and small into women's shoes and affectation of feminine mannerisms never betrayed him. The masquerader will be buried at his old home in Pugwash, N. H., beside the body of the mother who wanted her boy a girl.

The hearing attracted courtroom full of Placentia residents who were treated to frequent and torrid verbal clashes between D. G. Wettlin, deputy district attorney, and McFadden. A tense moment was created late yesterday when Lee Wirt of Anaheim, defense witness, was prevented from leaving courtroom by Wettlin and Judge Morrison. The defense had brought out on cross-examination Wirt had gone to Mrs. Rubio and suggested "best thing she could do would be to leave town." Wettlin secured a deputy sheriff and asked court to have Wirt held in custody. When Wettlin began questioning Mrs. Rubio concerning matter Wirt went out door and when Judge Morrison informed him he was under custody of court hush fell over spectators. Possibility that Wirt might face charge of tampering with witness was precluded later, however, when the prosecutor decided conversation concerned advice rather than threats.

When court was informed Mrs. Rubio was objecting to "insulting" remarks being passed he ordered a deputy sheriff to preserve order.

The Beverly Hills site is ready for occupancy and plans for the new branch of the university will be made at once it was said. The regents went into executive session at noon.
