LOS ANGELES. April 22. The
body of an unidentified woman,
about 35 years of age, was found
early today two blocks In the rear
of a couple of road houses at Cul

Pure teal examination revealed
that the woman had been killed
with a club after being criminally
assaulted. Her skull crushed. .
The body when found was only
partly clad, the greater portion of
the clothing having been torn off,
apparently in the struggle which
the victim 'had waged with her at
tacker. No marks of identification could
be found on the clothing that re
mained on the body or on the ar
ticles which had been torn off and
lay scattered about.
A bloodstained stained club was
found nearby.
George Mathleson of this city

Mrs. Grace Unter, also known as
Miss Grace Dudley. He said that

I A question which he aaserta 1s
more Important than that of par
liamentary government In Spain la
.whether such parliamentary gov
ernment will be capable of def.-nn-lng
llself agalnat that conception
of life which the Soviet govern
ment la seeking to impoae forcibly
jupon the world.
"Have you In your travels In
Spain noticed that we are living
In a state of alege under military
oppression?" he aaked the writers.
"The foreign papers I see declare
our directory shoots and Imprisons
people and spreads a reign of ter

The r'ig remarked that there

I PARIS. April 22 Nine hours of
debate, featured by bitter person
al attacks on Joseph Caillaux, late

Inst nlrht on the declaration of pol
icies of the new cabinet. At Ihe
conclusion of Ihe verbal fireworks,
Premier Palnleve and his col
leagues wero voted confidence 304
to 218.
The tactics of the opposition in
attacking the Inclusion of Caltlaux
In the ministry are believed to
have assured the victory of the
government, as both the radicals
and the socialists were dissatisfied
with M. Palnleve's announced de
termination of retaining the
French embassy at the Vatican
M. nium, the socialist leader,
said that when he entered the
Chamber session he had his doubts
hut when he heard the attacks di
rected at Caillaux these doubts
were removed.
"We congratulate M. Palnleve
for having summoned Caillaux,"
M. Htmn continued, "and since he
Is attacked for hnvlng done bo, we
give him our votes," ao the social
ists' 104 votes went solidly for

M. Caillaux will appear before

GREAT FALLS. Mont., April
22. Senator Burton K. Wheeler
took the witness stand In his own
defense late today at his trial here
on charges of ilrennlly appearing
before the department of the In
terior for Gordon Campbell, Mon
tana oil operator.
Wheeler explained that he was
employed by Campbell to defend
a receivership case against Camp
bell brought by L. C. Stevenson,
a rival oil man. He said Tom
Stout, former Montana congress
man, came to him In Butte in
January 1923 and asked him to
take the case.
"I told Mr. Stout I was leav
ing for Washington soon and was
not prepared to take on many
cases." said 8enator Wheeler. "I
also explained that I could take
no case Involving ao appearance
In land permits. I said I would
have to have $10,000 a year to
take the cose. Later I was In
formed Campbell did not have
that much cash available and I
airrced to accept $4,000 In cash
and the rest later."
Fred Munger, Lwistown. Mon
tana, restaurant proprietor, testi
fied that II. C. (llosser former
secretary to Campbell, who was
a government witness told him In
Lewlstnwn 'last January that
"Wheeler did not have anything
to do with government permits."
nnd that he waa hired to protect
Campbell from L. C. Stevenson.
Stevenson Is a business rival of
Campbell In the Montana oil
fields.
Glosser previously denied on
the stand that he made tire state
ni"nt. W. O. Feetey, Wanh!ngton at
torney, testified that Campbell
employed him to take care of oil
permits before the department of
the Interior. The Indictment a
galnst Senator Wheeler charges
that he appeared In these cases
for Campbell and accepted a fee
Tor so doing. According to Kee
ley. Senator Wheeler had no part
in (he Campbell land cases be
fore the depart inent.
Itlciiard A. Haste, former sec
retary to ftenalor Wheeler, testi
fied that he did not believe that
a telegram signed by Wheeler
nnd sent to Gordon Campbell. th

14. I!t'J3, was sent by his em
ployer. fbw Teletrnm read: "Hnve al

WASHINGTON, April 22. La
bor department plans for examin
lng prospective Immigrant aboard,
which immigration officials hope
will eventually eliminate the need
for an Immigration station at El
lis Island and other ports, were
up for consideration at an Inter
departmental conference called
here today at the Instance of Sec
retary Davis.
The plans, which labor depart,
ment officials hope may soon be
put Into effect, contemplate more
complete examination of Intending
emmlgrants, both medical and oth
erwise, at American consulates
abroad and possibly at porta of
embarkation. They contain the
further suggestion that inspectors
and medical examiners conduct ex
aminations aboard ship during the
voyage to American ports.
The new program designed to
remedy what officials design aa
the mostessential feature of the
system requiring Immigrants to un
dergo medical examination upon
their arrival In this country had
been submitted to the considera
tion of officials of the public
health service and other agencies
concerned prior to calling today's
conference.
The Kills Island station , which
has become the "white elephant"
of the labor department and where
conditions were bitterly assailed a
year ago In the British parlia
ment, would be eliminated under
the eventual operation of the new
plan as an Immigration station and
used only as a concentration point
for aliens held for deportation.
In addition -o the primary con
sideration of the humanitarian In
terests that would be served by
the proposed new system , of In
spection, officials believe It would
mean an actual saving In admin
istration of the Immigration laws.
The cost of maintaining the Ellis
Island station alone, with Its Im
migration staff of nearly BOO em
ployes, is approximately a million
dollars a year, and that of all the
Immigration stations combined
nearly two millions. -
