MORE ARRESTS
BEING MADE
BULGARIA RIOTS
Trial of Suspects in Dis-
aster at Cathedral Re-
veals More Guilty;
3000 Now in Jails
(By The Associated Pres#.)
30FLA Bulgaria May 7.—More ar-
rests have been made in consequence
of revelations at the trial of those
charged with compliicty in the Sveti
Krai cathedral bombing tragedy.
There are now about 3000 persons in
prison throughout Bulgaria and the au-
thorities state that the communist or-
ganization which is blamed for the
plot is more far-reaching than was at
first supposed. Nearly all members of
the middle class who were involved in
the movemtnt have been apprehended.
Few peasants were imbued with the
communist doctrines authorities say.
and the majority of those arrested be-
long in towns where poverty and dis-
content offer a favorable field for the
red propagandists.
The militia continues its close watch
on all persons entering or leaving So-
fia and several cases are reported o?
persons leaving bombs or explosives in
the public gardens fearing to be caught
with them in their possession.
A remarkable feature of the recent
events is the amount of army ammuni<
tion in the hands of the civilian popula-
tion and the authorities expect that
further isolated acts of violence are
bount) to occur until disarmament is
general.
Communist Uprising
Serious Officer Says
BELGRADE Ju/> Slavia. May 7.—The
Bulgarian foreign minister Col. Kalfoff
has arrived here on his way to Paris
London and Rome to explain the diffi-
culties of his country's situation to the
powers. In a statement given out after
an interview with Foreign Minister Nin-
chitch. Col. Kalfoff said:
“My voyage abroad is in connection
with the communist offensive in Bul-
garia. which shows clearly that the
communist danger is a reality which
must be reckoned with. The situation
is general and does not menace Bul-
garia -ilone."

tion for the marketing of the crop.
Three kinds of organizations were dis-
cussed. First the marketing organiza-
tion on the type now used in Califor-
nia where cooperative market ing em-
braces all the truck and vegetable
crops. Second potato organization only
which would include all potato farmer*
bu would relate to no other truck
crops. Third a form of organized
marketing which would be patterned
after the arrangement carried out in
part in the Valley during the season
just coming to a dose. The latter ar-
rangement was favored.
There will he a committee of farmers
picked by the farmers and organized
as a price quoting committee. This
committee which will probably contain
only three members wwill be furnished
with infoimation by the shipper- and
the files* of the shippers will be open
to the farmers committee.
At this stage Fred Rusterberg was
elected chairman of the potato organiza-
tion and Paul R. Dye was named sec-
retary. Every community of grower?
next year will name a delegate to meet
with Mr. Rusteberg at hi- call and
outline the work of the potato growei-
organization.
This step is rej^ rded as another for-
ward move in the sane marketing of the
Valley’s vegetables. The low price of
cabbage .and other truck crops last
year was mentioned and Brown White
shipper of Sun Benito stated at the
meeting that the potato growers were
saved $125000 during the past season
as a result of the agreement between
farmers on April 9. which remained in
effect duiing the remainder of the sea-
son. Other shippers present at the
meeting agreed with him in the amoMnt
saved the farmers.
The question of sending a delegate
to Nebraska Wisconsin or some other
seed potato state to buy the Valley-
seed for next year and gel the advant-
age of quantity price was discussed
but no action was taken. This matter
is scheduled to come up again in the
near future.

PARIS May 7.—A lull is reported in

Riffian tribesman under Abd-El-Krim
after crossing the neutral strip along

rot to he desoised due to his experience
against the Spaniards and no chances
aJll be taken by the French command-

DUTCH REFUSE
OLYMPIC GAMES
Contest Called ‘Heathen-
ish1 as Fund Is Defeat-
ed in Parliament
THE HAGUE May 7.—The Olympic
games are regarded as "heathenish" by
some members of the Dutch parliament.
This characterization was made during
the debate in the lower chamber yes-
terday which preceded the defeat of the
appropriation bill to provide expenses
for the meet at Amsterdam in 1928.
The Calvinist and Catholic deputies
joined forces &n the onslaught against
he bill while the liberals and socialists
strongly supported it.
Proponents of the measure asse-ted
that holding the games would enhance
the country’s reputation as a center of
the movements for peace as this would
be the first time for the former world
war belligerents to meet in peaceful
competition. The government was able
to afford the subsidy of 1000000 florins
they argued and Holland would incur
the “amused contempt of the world" if
she withheld the financial facilities.
Opponents of the bill held that no
Christian government ought to tolerate
revival of the games at all. even if the
concession were made that the Sabbath
would not he desecrated.
Defeat of the bill. 20 to 48. means
the pigeon holing of the subsidy plan
at least until October as the elections
are due within a few weeks and the new
chamber will not meet until October.

MRS. SHEPHERD
i
Woman Named Accom-
plice in McClintock
Deaths Sees Husband
CHICAGO >11. May 7.—Mrs. Julie
Shepherd named as an accessory of her j
husband William D. Shepherd in the 1
alleged slaying of their ward William
Nelson McClintock orphan mill onaire
was at liberty today on he.- own recog-
nizance after surrendering late yester-
day.
Her release pending grand jury action
on $500(1 bonds was promised tomorrow -
morning hv Judge Jacob Hopkins before j
whom she appeared.
Until then he stayed service of the
cornoier’s minimi from which she fled
Tuesday night after the coroner’s jury
had lecommended that she he held as an
accessory in the deaths of young Mc-
Clintock last fall and of his mother 10
years ago.
No opposition to her release on her
word or on bond was raised by Robert
E. Crowe state’s attorney who strenu-
ously resisted efforts to release Shep-
herd now in jail pending trial May 18.
"There is no evidence that 1 have as
state’s attorney that can cause me to op-
pose hail in this case” the prosecutor
said.
For the first time since his arrest
several weeks ago Shepherd was taken
I from his cell to converse with his wife
after arrangements for her release had
been made. They conversed for 15 min-
utes urging each other to remain firm
and trust in divine aid. They smiled as
they posed for cameramen.
But Mrs. Shepherd described as a
" Lady Masbeth ” by Judge Harry Olson
who instigated the investigation of the
deaths sobbed as she left. She termed
the jury’s action and that of Judge
Olson “persecution." “All I have given
is love and care" she said. Enough evi-
dence to make the charges against her
husband and herself appear ridiculous
and witnesses which would show that Mc-
aud witnesses which woul show that Mc-
Clintock’s will leaving the bulk of his
$1000000 estate to Shepherd had been
made at his own request.
The acquiescence of the prosecutor
in the arrangement for Mrs. Shepherd’s
release came after he expressed resent-
ment at the naming of Mrs. Shepherd
bv the coroner’s jury. He maintained
that the jury’s action would interfere
with the trial of Shepherd.
