Curfew Changed; Enforcement is Chief's Policy Beginning Sunday the curfew hour In the city Is made an hour later than It was during the winter months, be ing changed from 8:45 to 9:45. This change ! made pursuant to the pro visions of- city - ordinances, that changes the curfew time an hour later during the summer months. The hour of curfew shall be 9:45 until September 4,: then will revert to 8:45 again.- - 1 ' - The curfew whistle Is blown at 9:45 although the hour set when all chll-. dren, under the age of 18, unless In charge of parents or a guardian, are to be at home by 10 p. m., for 15 min utes is given them to get off of the streets. The city ordinance governing cur- tew will be strictly enforced in the. fu ture, Chief of Police Welsh said today. The ordinance has been "promlscous ly violated" in the past, he asserted. Parents are regarded as the offend ers in case of curfew ordinance viola tion, through a provision that requires the payment of a fine of from $2 te $25 for second or succeeding violations by their children. On first violation It Is the duty of the officer to accom pany the child to his or her home, warn the parents ,and leave. For suc cessive violations arrest of parents are to follow.

"The great difficulty has been and I fear, will continue to be. that finan cing a war by inflation, with all Its In justice and with its necessary after math of economic and social problems, is none the Iess'hoth politically and economically, ' during the war Itself, the line of least resistance." COXSTRITTION MORE NFEDKT) THAN ItKCONSTRUCTION NOW New York, Apr, 80. Construction, rather than reconstruction Is the great task confronting -this congress, the next congress and perhaps even the sixty-eighth congress, Senator Walter E, Edge, of New Jersey said, speaking at the luncheon meeting. Senator Edge declared "there is too much government In business and not enough business In government." "The United States must open and cultivate world wide markets for its goods," he continued. "The people of the United States cannot , consume the entire production of the land, nor would there be any profit for them If they. could and merely Interchanged dollars among themselves: so, either world markets must be won and culti vated, or American production must be curtailed, with resultant poverty, distress and unrest." . Assistant Secretary Laffingwell of 'the treasury declared that the govern ment of the United States "Is dead- locked against Itself, a government of obstruction." Failure of the government to deal In a consrructive way with any one of the vital national problems he attrib uted largely to the fact that the gov ernment Is "divided against itt-elf." "At this most critical moment In the history of Europe," he declared, "when our financial and economic stake in Europe affairs Is so great that disaster there could mean only dis aster here, many of our own people have turned gamblers and wasters. For plain living and high thinking, we have substituted wasting and bicker ing. We enjoy high living while we, grumble at the high cost of living." Mr. Lefflngwell assaulted the w ernment's administrative policy as "penny wise and pound foolish," reclt '"8 how "congress had struggled to ef feet economies at the expense of effi- clent administration while it takes tlmes to add $65,000,000 to civil war pensions." - ,, I "Instead of telling the people frank ly and boldly," he said, "that prices are high because they are waiting, we fix prices and prosecute profiteers In order that the people may buy more and pay less. Instead of telling the young men who were drafted to fight the war, and who came back better and stronger and more fit to fight their own battle than they ever were before, to go to work and save their money and look out for themselves as any self respecting man should, we listen complacently to their organized demands for a bonus, euphemistically called 'adjusted compensation.'

Cal., Apr. 30 Walter Andrew Watson, confess ed bigamist and murderer, will be indicted by a county grand jury next Monday for the murder of Nina Lee Deloney ; he will then appear in court and plead guilty and in consideration of his plea and the saving to the state, the district attorney will ask for & sentence of life imprisonment against him, instead of the death penalty. This statement was made here today by W. C. Doran, chief deputy district attorney, after a conference with Watson's attorney. Los Angeles, Cal., April SO. Mur-l der, and not bigamy, will be the charge to be faced by James R. Hulrt, who last night admitted, after an In vestigation extending over nearly a month and enmeshed him beyond hope, that he had killed two women, had at least contributed to the deaths of two more and had married at least twenty. Including; the four who lost their lives. The murder charge, according to the officers of the district attorney will be based on the alleged confess sion of Hulrt that he killed Nina Lee Dejoney, one of his "wives" in Hs Angeles county, and afterward con cealed her body at a lonely place in the mountains of Imperial county, whence he carried it, over a travelled highway, wrapped In blankets and laid In hi's touring tar. Officers Seek Body After Hulrt had finished his state ment, at midnight last night. District Attorney Lee Woolwlne, two deputy i sheriffs and other investigators left by automobiles for tha soot described by the prisoner as the place where I he had hidden Mrs. Dcloney's body. The-trlp will require at least two days and it was said that no formal charge of murder would be filed until, the party had returned. Enough evidence, even without the finding of the Dody ot Mrs. Deloney, or the admission of the alleged confession, Is already available to support such a charge, the officers said. The murder charge and all subse quent proceedings, will be brought against the man under the name oi Walter Andrew Watson, it was said; this course will be taken because the defendant told the officers, they said, that he did not know his true name, but was. most frequently known as Watson; because the marriage with Nina Lee Deloney, which preceded the alleged murder, was solemnised un- I der that name and because It was the I name most used by the man In Los Angeles county. C'onfcHnlon Long One '--Watson's story was told last night In the presence of District Attorney Woolwine, Chief Deputy W. C. Do ran, a shorthand reporter, two depu ty sheriffs and J. M.

The state ment was given ln response to ques tions and more than four hours time was devoted to its completion. It was transcribed , at once and will be pre sented to Watson for his signature to- The presence of Watson's attor ney and the complete deliberation with which the matter was handled caused sheriff's officers to express the belief last night that some prom ise of immunity from the death pen alty had been given the man ln ex change for his aid in clearing up the Involved mysteries of his marriages and as a consideration of the ex pense that would be avoided by elim inating a trial. RelatM Life Story Watson's statement, ln brief, was that he was a native of the south, probably of Tennessee; he said his first memory was of finding himself ln an 'orphan asylum where he re mained until he was about ten years old then, he said, he went to live with a family named Harper and re mained with- them for about five years, moving to Pittsburg, Kansas; he said he next "found himself" work ing for a blacksmith and while in that employment he was struck on the head and knocked unconscious , 1, 111 41.
