GIRL’S BODY EXHUMED AND AUTOPSY HELD “Princess of Divine Order” Died Natural Death, Is Report Made { LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 7.— No evidence other than that of a natural death was found by the autopsy performed on the body of Willa Rhoades, 19-year-old foster daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Rhoades, which was dug from a shallow grave beneath the beach home of the Rhoades. The body of the girl, who was designated by Mrs. Rhoades as “Princess of the Divine Order of the Royal Arm of the Great Seal,” and who had been expected by her to be resurrected in accord- ance with the doctrines of the |strange religious cult, was submit- |ted to the County Chemist for tests to be made to determine sus- pected presence of poison. The Rhoades are held pending further investigation. Mr. and Mrs. Rhoades told the police that Willa died January 1, 11925, as a result of diphtheria. With the finding of the body, the wierd rites of the religious cult, which caused the body to be pre- served in ice for more than a year, in the belief she would be resur- rected, were revealed. In a sep- |arate casket were found the bodies of seven dogs embalmed with spices and buried at the same time. .- HARDY TREFGGAR GOING OUT FOR SHORT VISIT Hardy Trefggar, pioneer fox rancher of the Yakutat district, arrived here Saturday from Yaku- tat, enroute to Scattle, He will |remain there for 30 days on a com- {bined business and pleasure trip, lreturning then direct to his home. in the girl's grave; FOUR KILLED PLANE CRASH LEONA, Texas, Oct. 7—Lieu?

Correspondent) TOKYO, Oct. 7—Japan’s foreign trade returns for the first half of 1929, just published, show the con- tinuation of a commercial relation- ship with the United States that is without parallel with the great powers. America absorbs more thas two-fifths of all the goods that Japan sells abroad, placing the is- land empire in a position of ec>- ! nomic dependence upon her big! " trans-Pacific neighbor that i§ mot equalled in the situation of any other pair of first class powers. Statesmen and publicists on both sides of the Pacific have pointed to this business status as a mighty influence, for continued peace be- tween the two countries. War wi'n America, they have argued, would mean early bankruptcy for Japan. In the first six months of 1929 Japan's total foreign trade was 2,316,000,000 yen, approximately $1,- 111,700,000. Of this, 812,000,000 yen or 35 per cent, was with the United States. Japan sold abroad goods valued at 1,017,000,000 yen ($488,- 1160.000) of which 418,000,000 yen, in Sitka on the steamer Queen.
