Herendeen, who was In charge of tlMMIIIIilllllHIMWlllllllllM SAN DIEGO, Aug. 17. One hundred and forty navy enlisted men stationed at North Island are confined in their quarters suffering from illness due to poisonous food, it was revealed today.

Tho tainted food is believed to have been eaten last Sunday at the noon mess. The men are under observation for symptoms, which are described as "not ordinary," and apparently not those of ptomaine poisoning. While no serious cases have resulted from the attack, three of the sick men have been re-' moved to the Naval Hosprtal for closer Food rem-" nants from the Sunday noon meal are being analyzed in the hope of determining the source of the sickness. "It is not an unheard of thins for groups of naval men eating at the same mess to become the victims of some infection," said Capt. John H.

Hoover, commander of the naval air station. "While none of the men stricken has suffered severely, we are making every effort to check up on various articles on Sunday's menu." Capt. S. L. Higglns, senior medical officer of the station, stated it is his opinion the Infection Is of an uncommon na- ture.

"The symptoms of the stricken men were not those resulting from ptomaine and other common varieties of food poison -in," Higglns said. According to the naval air station officials, many of the men immediately recovered from their attacks, but have been placed under observation to aid in locating the cause and source of the infection. "V.f 'lf 4 f-." prints of the same class. As the result, Scares said, it is unlikely that it will ba possible to definitely identify the person who left that fingerprint on the gun. Wolcott, it was learned today, first met Mrs.

Nora Whitford, the woman he subsequently married, in 1925, when she was the owner of the florist shop which he now owns. He went to work for her then as a clerk and driver of her delivery truck. When his wife died eighteen months ago, he inherited the shop and securities which were valued at the time at $30,000. Wolcott is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Charles F. Wolcott, now residing near Big Bear Lake. The father 'is a retired fireman, and the family resided here for many years at 821 Merritt Drive. Mrs. Charles Wolcott, the mother, sought to comfort her son in the City Jail tonight.

ON FISHING TRIP J. J. Neary of 1704 North Los Robles avenue, who police were told was the last person to talk with Miss Bendowski before she as-sertedly left the Hotel Maryland Legion festivities to return to Wolcott's apartment, is in Northern California on a fishing trip with his two sons, it was ascertained tonight. He is the father of Peggy Lou Neary, queen of the 1933 Tournament of Roses, and is manager of the local branch of E. F.

Hut-ton stock brokers. Neary left here Sunday, according to friends, without knowing of the tragedy. His acquaintance with Wolcott is asserted to have been of many years' standing, but has been entirely of a business nature and through Wolcott, he is said to have had a speaking acquaintance with Miss Bendowski. Police indicate they will call him as a witness at the preliminary hearing. The dismissed patrolman, Miedema, tonight obtained a new position in a local cafe.

He declined to talk, having been advised not to do so by his attorney, William Fox. An oral skirmish between detectives and Ormer. Wolcott's attorney, occurred tonight when the detectives refused to furnish Orme a copy of the statement they obtained from his client. Orme, late today attempted to obtain a habeas corpus writ in Superior Court to effect the release of his client on the ground that "not even circumstantial evidence exists definitely to connect Wolcott with the crime." Superior Judge Wood refused to grant the writ, asserting that the plea was presented after filing of the murder charge and was offered too late to be considered. For eighteen minutes, Detectives' Kalghin and Decker revealed for the first time tonight, Wclcott could have busied himself in covering up evidence before Patrolmen Beck and Kelly were admitted to the little penthouse apartment atop the Whit-ford Florist Shop, 3S3 East Colorado street.

TIME CHECKED The shots, assert the detectives, were heard by Patrolman George Hamilton at 5:35 a.m. Sunday. Police records indicate the police radio car did not receive the broadcast ordering officers to the scene until 5:50 a.m. It took them two minutes to drive from the Fair Oaks avenue and Colorado-street intersection to the florist shop. Wolcott came to the front door to let Beck and Kelly in, but found he had forgotten his key and was thus forced to climb the stairs from the shop to the apartment to get it.

Maynard Miedema, local police officer who was dismissed by Chief Kelley after admitting that at the time of the shooting he and Mrs. Zelda Smith were dancing in the penthouse while Wolcott supposedly was shaving in another room, today was away from his home at 657 North Chester avenue, seeking a new' position, according to his wife. HUSBAND NOT BLAMED Mrs. Miedema stated that she and their four children have just returned after spending two months in the desert. "I do not blame Maynard for anything," she asserted, "and when Mrs.

Smith asked him to drive her home from the cafe where she works, it was the polite thing for him to do. It was only natural that he got her out of the Wolcott apartment before the officers arrived." Further questioning today of HERMOSA BEACH, Aug. life guards in the making are in the spotlight here this week, where the, annual Los Angeles county civil service examination to fill the eligible list and twelve appointments is in progress. The aspirants, all of whom must have had at least one year of experience as a life guard to be admitted to the examination, are run through the tests at the rate of fifteen a day. George C.

Brown, chief examiner of the Los Angeles County Civil Service Commission; Harry Petrie, assistant examiner; C. M. Amsden, secretary of the commission, and Deputy Sheriff Roy Billings are conducting the contests. Aspirants commence the examination with a gruelling half-mile swim around the city pier, a time test. A theoretical double rescue is the hardest test, in which the contestant is required to swim 125 yards through the breaker line to a buoy, the program.

The Wright Brothers had an Idea.

So did the San Fernando Valley. Airplanes flew for the Wrights. Now airplanes will fly straight for the San Fernando Valley. Ready for use this week Is the costly new radio beacon station constructed with Federal funds at Van Nuys. It marks another forward stride in the march of events which has made of the valley an increasingly Important factor in local aviation circles.

It marks another step also in the increasing safety factor in commercial flying. The valley wanted airports and it got them. Then it wanted the radio station to help the planes reach their goal safely. As soon as somebody invents a robot pilot to go up in fogs and guide planes safely into port as a port pilot does an ocean liner the valley will have one of them, too. Right now the beacon station is the most advanced safety factor possible.

That San Clcmcnte recall battle is getting hot again. You had better watch out, Olc, or they will start tearing up all your nice white Spanish buildings by the roots and begin throwing them at one another. Somebody already pushed Mayor Mur-phlne's house over a cliff, you know! First It was miniature golf, then crossword puzzles, then skates, then bicycles. Now it's tango and other mild gambling games, I suggest that the people trying to halt the playing Just relax for a couple of months. Let grandma and the kids lose a few dimes and the craze will run its course before long.

The smart thing to do would be to figure out what the next fad will be. Then you could lay in a supply of the paraphernalia for it and become a millionaire overnight. The surest test for what it is liable to be is to think of the goofiest thing possible then you are pretty sure to be right. Those vandals out at Tujunga who stole all the axles out of the wheelbarrows and tied up a welfare job ought to get credit for one thing, at least. They thought of something new.

I suppose they'll be taking the handles out of the picks next. Monrovia Just won't indulge In the lethargy so common among many inland cities during July and August. It insists upon having a nice hot municipal squabble sputtering along all the time Just to keep the home folks interested. First It was teachers' salaries. After splitting the town open on that, the combatants are now engaged In a row over water.

Why doesn't somebody turn a hose on the hotheads and make 'em wait for fall and cooler weather to do their scrapping.

SWIMM1N' HOLE CLOSED AGAIN Health Inspector Finds Two Many Bacteria Cerms in Sunland Wash Pool Which Had Been Dammed up by Bathers During His Absence INSPECTION TLANNED POMONA, Aug. 17. Public in spection of the recently reorganized welfare facilities under the direction of the Public Charities Commission, will take place Saturday from noon until 7 p.m. The units which will be thrown open include those of Central School, the Unem Pomona to Use Bond Money to Balance Budget POMONA, Aug.

17. Pomona apparently has found a way to balance the municipal budget not later than next Tuesday in order that the 1933-1934 tax rate may be set in time for the county to compute tax bills. With nearly a 40 per cent reduction in assessed valuation, as compared with that of a year ago, and a maximum of $1 per $100 assessed valuation set by the city charter for general fund purposes, the problem has been a difficult one, according to Mayor Perrin and City Councilmen. The way out now appears to be in a sinking fund of $54,500 for interest and bond retirement which has been accumulated by the Municipal Water Department. Plans under consideration contemplate applying the $4500 set aside monthly for this fund, to the general fund for the coming year.

To relieve the water department in the diversion of future surpluses, it has been suggested that the rate for bond retirement, and interest, be added to next year's tax rate. Under this suggested plan, a to- tal of $285,637.44, or $25,000 less than last year, would be raised by a tax rate of $2.55 per each $100 of assessed valuation. Mrs. Smith elicited the information that after being hurried out THREE HURT ker, Inglewood. Cora Ault.

San Bernardino; Louise Reynolds, Los Angeles, and Maggie Kantz, ployed Relief Association and the Salvation Army TUJUNGA, Aug. 17. The health inspector, returning from several days' absence at the American Legion convention at Pasadena, rushed down to the Sunland wash this morning and found "the old swimmin' hole" restored and a happy party of kiddies and grown-ups splashing around. He drove them all out, tested th water and declared that there were 2816 bacteria germs in the middle of the pool and more than 5000 germs in the swamp by the willows. One thousand bacteria are all that is allowed.

Ever since the official closing of the pool "bootleg" swims have been indulged in daily. Local boys and swarms of out-of-town people have re-dammed the water in the pool with rocks and sandbags and taken swims only to be ordered out by the health inspector. But. so far. no official action has been taken against the "bootleg" swimmers.

The bacteria scare has spread to McGroarty Park and deprived the children of the wading pool there. Now the rock-crusher pool at Roscoe is under investigation for germs, notwithstanding that the water, heretofore recognized as pure, comes from underground seepage. All of the organizations of the valley have sensed the need of recreation facilities and have just received word that the Park Department has transferred jurisdiction over McGroarty Park to the Playground and Recreation Department. I DEER RESCUED FROM OCEAN SANTA MONICA, Aug. 17.

Chased into the ocean at the mouth of Topanga Canyon by dogs, a deer was rescued early today by fishermen who went out in two dories. The frenzied ani- mal was as badly frightened by the pursuing boats as it had been by the dogs, and kept ahead of the dories until it became 4- entangled in the kelp. Considerable effort was involved in getting It into one of the skiffs. It was turned over to deputy sheriffs, who passed it on to the forestry department at Fernwood, where the deer was released. It shook its head disgustedly as it disappeared into the brush.

Tony Manopulous, proprietor of a candy store adjoining the store, today was among those subpoenaed to appear as witnesses at Wolcott's preliminary hearing scheduled for next Thursday. GUN BRANDISHED Patrolman Hamilton today recalled an incident indicating Wolcott is addicted to brandishing guns.

"Early one morning," said Hamilton. "I was walking my beat when a burglar alarm sounded in the neighborhood. The alarm was out of order, but the first thing I knew, there was Wolcott running up and down waving his pistol in the air. I urged him to go to bed before he hurt som? one." A new sidelight uncovered today is that Wolcott and his friends at one time amused themselves by shooting at a stuffed parrot in the the walls bearing the marks of the target practice. The live parrot in the apartment at the time of the murder, reputed progeny of the stuffed parrot, is being cared for by Wolcott's, floral-shop employees.

Rosary services for Miss Bendowski will be conducted tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Wendell Cabot mortuary, 27 East Chestnut street. The time for the funeral is being withheld because of a desire to prevent the attendance of curiosity seekers. FINGERPRINT EXAMINATION Late this afternoon Lieut.
