FOURTH DEATH RIDDLE FACED BY SAN DIEGO Telephone Operator’s Body Found; Eleven Wounds From Knife. By United Press ¶ SAN DIEGO, Cal., May 4.—M. E. Garrison, railroad employe, was held today by police, who declared they were not satisfied with his explanation of his visit late Saturday night with Hazel Bradshaw, 22-year-old telephone operator, found stabbed to death. ¶ Conflicting stories of a taxicab driver and a street car conductor, coupled with Garrison’s asserted inability to explain what happened to a brown suit it was said he wore, caused police to predict they were near a solution of San Diego’s fourth murder mystery in seven weeks. Eleven Knife Wounds ¶ Miss Bradshaw’s body was found behind a wall in the Indian village at Balboa park, with eleven knife wounds on her body, six of them in the region of the heart. ¶ Garrison took her to a motion picture show Saturday night, after they left the railroad offices where both worked. ¶ Shortly before midnight, Garrison said, he and Miss Bradshaw walked to her home through a little valley that passes the Indian village, now used as a Boy scout camp. ¶ He kissed her good night at her doorstep, he said, and went home. ¶ Miss Bradshaw never entered her home, relatives said. Stories in Conflict ¶ Corroborating Garrison’s story was the statement of J. M. Hughes, street car conductor, who said Garrison was a passenger on his car shortly after midnight. ¶ Police were ready to accept this story when H. J. Collins, a taxi driver, identified Garrison as a man he took to the El Centro apartments, where Garrison lives, at 2 a. m. Sunday. ¶ With Garrison was a girl, Collins added. He believed she was Miss Bradshaw. ¶ Garrison was slightly intoxicated, he said, and carried a package which resembled a bottle. ¶ Not far from Miss Bradshaw’s body, the remains of a quart bottle of wine was found. Suit Statement Disputed ¶ Police were told by Garrison’s landlady that when he left his apartment Saturday he was wearing a dark brown suit. Garrison denied owning such a suit, police said. ¶ W. H. Parker, Garrison’s superior, declared Garrison often wore a dark brown suit to work. ¶ The three other unsolved murders here in recent weeks were the kidnaping and slaying of 10-year-old Virginia Brooks last February; the garroting and hanging of Louise Teuber, 17-year-old clerk, April 18, and the strangling of Mrs. W. B. (Diamond Dolly) Bibbens about the same time as the Teuber murder. HOOVER DINNER TICKET SALE TO OPEN MAY 18; Attendance of 5,000 Expected in Indianapolis June 15.

The explosion, which all but destroyed the island of Krakatoa, in the Straits of Sunda, between Java and Sumatra, caused huge

Bourbon Rule in Spain Began With Philip V, Mere Youth of 17

Married His Queen When She Was 14 and Overcame Early Troubles. This is the fourth of a series of five stories about the Royal House of Eourbon of which King Alfonso XIII of Spain was the last monarch. BY MILTON BROUNER NEA Service Writer (Convrisht. 1931. bv NBA Service. Inc.) The first of the Bourbon kings of Spain, Philip V, came to the throne in 1700, a mere youth of 17. He was, in effect, “willed” the monarchy by his predecessor, Charles 11, w’ho in an attempt to end the bitter wars of the Spanish succession signed a decree just before he died. During his reign, which was dominated largely by the influences of his first and second wife, the establishing of anew era w y as started. Reforms in finances, more up-to-date industrial methods and even sufficient government power to place law and order up on a firm footing w’ere needed. In the forty-six years he ruled, Philip laid the foundation. Endeared to People His dashing appearance endeared him to his people early in his reign. His personal courage was a quality which won favor and admiration, much as the same trait helped the popularity of the last of the Bourbon Spanish kings, Alfonso XIII, who abdicated so recently and ended the reign of the Bourbons lasting 231 years. Philip, until he was elevated to the throne, was Philip of Anjou. He married Marie Louise of Savoy, then only 14. The first difficulties Philip faced were connected with his accession. As both he and his wife were French by birth, the Spaniards first resented his French accent and manners. Popularity Turns Tide It was fortunate they learned to like him. Archduke Charles effected an uprising against him and during the next twenty years all the great powers of Europe were either directly or indirectly involved. Twice Charles invaded Spain and twice he occupied Madrid. At one time Philip was forced to flee across the border. All seemed lost but in the end his popularity turned the tide. Inspired by his queen, Philip continued the fight. Indeed it is probable Marie Louise did more than Philip in holding the crown. Once she sold her jewels to pay his

.Christ Shroud Viewed in High Altar Ritual By United Press TURIN, Italy, May 4.—Six stalwart Caribineers stood guard today around a richly carved case in which the sacred winding sheet, traditionally said to have shrouded the body of Christ, was exposed to view at the chapel of the Holy sudario, for the first time since 1898. The silver case in which the winding sheet had been inclosed was opened yesterday upon the order of Crown Prince Humbert. The prince, accompanied by Crown Prince Joe Marie, led a procession of eighteen bishops and members of the nobility which escorted the case to the high altar. Under direction of the archbishop of Turin, Maurilio Fossati, the case was placed at the altar and the archbishop inserted the first silver key and broke the seals. Prince Humbert, using a second key, turned another lock—to which only the king has a key. Monsignor Grasso, custodian of the relic in behalf of the royal house, turned the third lock. While a large congregation looked on, the winding sheet was removed from the silver case and blessed by the Archbishop. It was then placed on a specially constructed pedestal to remain on public view for three weeks.

armies. When she died before his reign was half over, he lost all his force of character. Cardinal Alberoni was clever and succeeded in promoting a marriage between Philip and Elizabeth Farnese of Italy. Elizabeth, pictured as timid, was actually bold and resolute and became the moving power behind the throne. Imperiously she assumed control, bringing with her the petty practices of the Italian court. As Maris Louise had left two sons, it was evident that no child of the new queen could be king. But she was so persistent she did succeed in making one of her sons, Charles, the king of Naples, and another, Philip, duke of Parma. Philip took little interest in government. He was lethargic and melancholy. His wife was the real ruler. When Philip died in 1746, his second son became Ferdinand VI, his elder son having died. Ferdinand proved to be a wise ruler, but hs was on the throne only thirteen years. He was followed by Charles 111 under whom the Bourbon dynasty was firmly established. Charles IV, who became king in 1788 at the age of 40, was simple and honest. He is often called the stupidest king who ever wore a crown. The setup was perfect for that master plotter, Manuel Godoy. His queen, Marie Louise of Parma, wasnot stupid. She was donjineering and quickly became the power behind the throne. Godoy, first minister, realizing it

would be easy to control Charles through the queen, sought her favors. He was soon her favorite. Most of her decisions were swayed by his advice. The king’s capable young son and heir, Ferdinand, resented Godoy’s influence. He organized a party in opposition to that of his mother with the result that during the remainder of the reign the court was disgraced by a succession of family rows. Napoleon,, following the revolution, quickly trapped Charles. By that time Prince Ferdinand was a popular idol. Aware of that, Godoy suggested an alliance which could face Napoleon. It was finally completed, the king, Ferdinand and Godoy joining. Once they were at Bayonne in France, the emperor informed them the Spanish throne was to be given to his brother, Joseph. Neither Godoy nor the prince had expected such a decision, but they were helpless. Charles was still as stupid as ever and wasn't perturbed. Napoleon by the coup gained control of the government of Spain, but he never did control the people. The Spaniards resented bitterly French occupation; revolts were frequent and finally in 1813 the last of the French were expelled from Spain with the assistance of British troops. The popular Ferdinand then became king, in fact, and the Bourbons were re-established. Next: Queen Isabella II and Alfonso XII.

SUN’S OUT AGAIN! TAKE YOUR GARDEN

Many Lots Still Awaiting Needy of City to Work on. Cold weather for many days forestalled efforts of unemployed men to begin their gardens on lots assigned them by The Times, use free for the summer. Now the sun is out again, and May promises to bring weather conducive, to plowing and planting. But still there are many lots offered by generous citizens for men who are without work to sow and reap what vegetables they will need for their families. On the large tract at Sherman drive and Southeastern avenue more than half the lots still are awaiting men who are willing to work to feed their wives and children. Ground Is Fertile The ground is fertile, and each of the lots large enough to provide food for a family for several months. Besides this ground there are ether vacant lots in all parts of the city. To several persons who asked for lots some time ago, but w r ho have not yet received a letter telling them to begin work on this piece of ground or that, The Times Garden Editor wants to explain the reason is that no offers of ground have been made in neighborhoods in which they live. Walk Isn’t so Long Not always can a lot near your home be obtained for you, although if the name of any owner of vacant ground is supplied The Times will try to obtain use of the land. Sometimes you may have to take a piece of ground several blocks from your home, but if your family is hungry the daily walk won’t seem so long. Tell The Times Garden Editor how far you can go from home to till a vacant lot. FLIER DIES AS NEW SHIP DIVES Crashes to Death When He Banks Too Sharply.

By United Press NEW YORK, May 4.—A new movement In support of prohibition, militant in every aspect, even to Its name, “the Allied Forces,” was launched today by prominent drys throughout the country and dedicated to a finish fight for “liberty under law.”

W3s announced by Dr. Daniel A. Poling, dry leader and an organizer of the forces.
