B. P. Greenwood, city building inspector of Tucson, boarded this train on which Aimee Semple McPherson is homeward bound while it stopped at Tucson for a few min utes this morning and in the pres ence of Detective Chief Herman Cline and Deputy District Attorney Joe Ryan of Los Angeles, told the evangelist that she was the woman whom he had seen on the streets of Tucson four weeks ago. Mrs. McPherson, who had re tired, was aroused when Green wood asked to see her.

Surprised at the early morning call, she asked to know whether any friends had gotten aboard. Confronted by Greenwood, she asked whether he had ever seen her before and where. EMPHATIC REPLY OF GREENWOOD IS "YES." "Yes," was Greenwood's em phatic reply. "Where, at the Angelus Tem ple?" the evangelist asked. "No, on the Btreets of Tucson four weeks ago," Greenwood an swered.

Mrs. McPherson appeared to be taken aback at his reply and her next words faltered. After regain ing her composure the evangelist asked Greenwood on what he based his identification. The Tucson building Inspector replied he recognized her mainly by her hair. He said he based his identification on the color of her hair, the thinness of her face and her figure.

"IF NOT SHE, IT WAS HER TWIN SISTER." Captain Cline, who heretofore had taken no part the conversation, then undertook to cross question Greenwood and asked him whether he was positive that Mrs. McPherson was the women he had seen. "Well, if it was not Mrs. McPherson it was her twin sister," Greenwood declared. Mrs.

McPherson became indignant and accused Greenwood of attempting the Identification as a means of exploiting himself -in the newspapers. The meeting ended with Captain Cline suggesting that Greenwood put his statement in writing and mail it to him at Los Angeles. Greenwood left Mrs. McPherson's private car hurriedly and was lost in the crowd on the station platform. The train crossed the California state line at Yuma at, 7 o'clock this morning.

Only Relatives to Bid SlayCyJn Los Angeles March 23. has been Berkeley Scientist Finds Rel ics at Mizpeh Rich in Historic Value. There were giants in those days, if you believe what this generation has always been told, but it has taken a Berkeley man to prove it.

Take it from Dr. William F. Bade, head of the Mizpeh expedi tion of the Pacifio School of Re ligion at Berkeley, who is now en route home from Palestine, there were giants long before the days of Jack and the Beanstalk and Goliath was no fairy myth manufactured to enhance the reputation of David for prowess. Dr. Bade has three huge skulls unearthed from the ruins of the ancient city of Mizpeh in Palestine, which lie is bringing home with MYSTERY SKULLS IN BAGGAGE.

The Berkeley scientist left Cairo, Egypt, for America today, the three mysterious skulls as part of his baggage being Imbedded in great blocks of paraffin. He hopes to have them Inspected by competent anthropologists as soon as he arrives in America. "One might be the skull of Goliath, who can tell?" said Dr. Bade Jocularly, according to a cable. Bible students are expected to get busy now on establishing whether Goliath ever was at Mizpeh before his famous bout with David.

Dr. Bads has pointed out that the discoveries he has made on the present expedition, while corroborating some parts of the Old Testament, will necessitate a new reading of other parts, for instance: Genesis, 12 to 15, in whlqh it is related how Abraham Journey ed to Mizpeh, and Jeremiah; 41, in which it is told how Mizpeh was used as the capital of the Israelites after the destruction of Jerusalem. WORK CONSIDERED VERY IMPORTANT. The work of the Berkeley scien tist in the last six months is con sidered of immense importance archaeologlcally. While working near the present town of Tel En Nasbeh, he stumbled across some square stones in curious alignment, After investigation he found that they led to ruins so big that- it took five days to make a prelim inary survey.

Excavation revealed an enormous series of walls, sixteen feet wide, in places wide enough at the top for chariot 'races. Walls converged on a citadel in excellent state of preservation and bearing inscriptions which proved that the old city of Mizpeh has finally been found. Dr. Bade found eight cisterns, some choked with bones, which together with other remains must put Biblical history back a thousand years. The great walls date to about 800 B.

"I'm not married "and I'm not divorced and all because I wanted to be funny I may not be married at all!" So says Miss May Jones of- 753 Haight street, Alameda, after receiving a letter from her "sweetie" saying that he really didn't think he ought to be engaged to a married woman. Miss Jones' grief is caused, she declares, by her own attempt at humor, and by the ghost of a shattered marriage, which haunts the house she now lives in, rising up yesterday to threaten her own romance. The published account of a divorce action filed by a woman who formerly resided at 753 Haight street, Alameda, came to the eyes of "the most wonderful man in the world," better known in Wallejo as Carl Lange, says Miss Jones. But, "dearie" that's not the half of it, she'll tell ytu. The former resident of the Haight street address seeks in her complaint means for the support of two children.

Which has caused Lange, the suitor, to tell his fiance in icicle-encrusted phrases, that "after all, it takes the newspapers to uncover the truth," Miss Jones declares plaintively.

"No. I told him myself I had been married seven times and had six was the lady's staggering 'reply. have you "No I was i only teasing, and I thought he knew, it.

The address remains in the name of the woman who is suing her husband.
