ABOARD S. S. SANTA CLARA, Nov. 26 (U. P.).—United States delegales to the Pan-American conference at Lima, Peru, spent their first day aboard ship getting acquainted and discussing in general terms their mission, Several of the delegates had not met previously.

detailed discussions. They expected

Sécretary of State Hull, leader of the delegation, to communicate to them soon a report on his talk with Hugh R. Wilson, Ambassador to Germany, just before sailing from New York at 5:40 p. m. yesterday. Mr. Wilson and Secretary Hull were together 15 minutes in Secre-

_|tary Hull’s cabin, and the Ambassa-

dor’s report on conditions in Germany, which he was called home to make, evidently was given in bare outline. The conference had the desired effect, however, of impressing other delegates to Lima of the close relationship between European and Pan-American problems.

Hull Keeps Silence

Secretary Hull declined to comment on Mr. Wilson’s report. He discussed the Lima conference, however, in a press interview before sailing. He said the conference “offers a solid cause for haope in a world threatened with despair,” and sajd it was encouraging to note that “the representatives of 21 nations can meet to discsus their problems in a, spirit of trust, understanding and tolerance.” “This approach to international relations strengthens our faith in the eventual triumph of integrity, justice, respect for order based on law, and recognition of the essential dignity and worth of the human spirit and mind,” he said. “I am confident that the work accomplished and the measures agreed upon at Lima will commend themselves to the thoughtful attention and the support of all the American peoples.”

Henry Norweb, Minister to the Dominican Republic; Emilio del Toro Cuevas, Chief Justice of Puerto Rico; Green H. Hackworth, State Department legal adviser; The Rev. Fr. John PF.

WOMAN REVIVED FROM ‘DEATH’ DIES

Drug Temporarily Saves Sleeping Pill Victim.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26 (U. P). —Mrs. Mildred Gross, who apparently “died” from an overdose of sleeping tablets and then was revived by a new drug, suffered a relapse and died early today. Attending physicians at Georgia Street Receiving Hospital could not revive her the second time. Although she appeared dead when first brought into the hospital, Police Surgeon A. D. Trotter revived her with an injection of picrotoxin, a chemical used in explosives and only recently tried in medicine. Mrs, Gross was placed under an|

oxygen tent and appeared to be on|’

the way to complete recovery when she lapsed into unconsicousness a second time from the effects of 150 sleeping tablets and was pronounced dead. Picrotoxin is a chemical used in German explosives during the World War but only recently adopted for medical use. Dr. Trotter recalled having successfully used the new picrotoxin remedy on a man last month who took an overdose of the same sleeping powders.

Fish in Mystery ‘Coma’

Are Scooped Up by Ton

Times Special ; ] BEDFORD, Nov. 26.—If things keep up the way theyre going at Williams Dam near here, White River will soon be about defished. Early this week the fish began rising to the surface of the water in a semiconscious state. They could easily be lifted ut of the water. This has gone on since, although the condition has improved somewhat with the cold snap. People living near the dam estimate that about 6000 pounds of fish have been taken out, although game fish apparently are not affected. The same thing occurred in 105,

been stunned by carbide explosions. This was disproven. Belief has been expressed in some quarters that recent heavy rains filled the water with so much silt the fish were starved for oxygen. “Fish stories” were prevalent. One man is reported to have’ pulled out a T0-pound buffalo fish and others weighing between 40 and 45 pounds.

Another is said to have taken a total of 1400 pounds of fish, among which were about 50 buffalo weighing from 15 to 35 pounds each. No expert opinion is available as to when the condition may correct itself.

Flames Blacken Wheatfields

Kansas Arsonist

—Angry wheat farmers in the dry

prairie lands of Central Kansas sought today a firebug that ranged the country in a big black sedan, setting haystacks, pastures and wheat

fields aflame. More than 150 farmers fought night long against fires which were set on the farms of Charles Hamilton, Ole Johnson and Nels Knudsen,

vealed that 110 acres of pasture land and five large haystacks had been fired. Danger of a widespread conflagration was the fear of the wheat growers, who have gone through one of the dryest autumns on record. The stubble in the fields is tinderlike and the pastures long since have been brown and dry. The pyromaniac first was seen near Tonganoxie, Kas., a community about 15 miles west of Kansas City. He traveled through this section early on Thanksgiving Day, setting 30 fires. Although several persons saw him, no one was able to catch his fastmoving sedan. J. L. Johnson, a farmer, southeast of Tonganoxie saw him as he tossed a torch from his car into a field. While Mr. Johnson secured aid to fight the blaze, Frank Smith and Abe Enoch reported their fields ablaze nearby.

no other motive except a lust for fire. He has escaped thus far be-

cause farmers have stopped to fight |p the flames rather than give chase.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26 (U. P.)— Palatial homes of movie stars and millionaires, isolated in the foothills for seclusion and safety, were menaced anew today by a raging brush fire.

The fiames roared down to the floor of Mandeville Canyon, back of Hollywood, where are the homes of Shirley Temple, Mary Astor and W. C. Fields, Fire lines were mobilized in the|’ lower canyon reaches between. the flames and the homes. With a wind fanning it, the fire reached a road at thé bottom despite the efforts of hundreds of weary, smoke-blackened city firemen. Sparks shot up 250 feet, spreading the conflagration through the tinder-dry brush like a prairie fire. : The wind then swung to the east, temporarily turning the fire back on itself. Fire Chief Ralph Scott ordered 100 fresh men into the fight, making a total of 800 on the firelines after the City Council voted a $15,000 emergency appropriation: for the worst fire in Los Angeles history. Madeline Carroll, English actress, whose house in Las Flores Canyon was reported destroyed, returned to find it undamaged. She spent the night there, despite firemen’s warnings.
