Over so colored residents of I'M

appeared at the court house this

They were disappointed, however,
as Judge Conkling, i'll whose depart

the case for hearing on December
13.
Yhe colored residents of Imperial
have retained Senator Rex Sample
of San Diego to represent them
and he stated after court that the
fight will be carried through to q
finish. Colored children in San
Diego attended the same school as
the white children, according to
Senator Sample, who said he has
children attending the same classes
as colored children, and in his opin-
ion the law does not make any pro-
vision for discrimination because

BITTER DEBATE
MARKS HEARING
OF GOV. WALTON
by United Press Leased Wire

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. p
Bitter debate on the demand by
attorneys for Gov. j. c. Walton
that the most serious impeachment
charges against the executive be
dissolved marked today's session of
the Oklahoma State Senate.
Attorneys took up the demurrer
filed to the chief indictments in
Walton s behalf, point to point, and
indications were that arguments
would continue throughout the day.
Agreement was reached to allow
Walton S advisers all the time they
desire to debate the issues involv-
ed.
Walton supporters had little hope
that the maneuvers would change
the attitude of the senate, plainly
shown in the preliminary voting.
Aggressive moves designed to aid
the case of the governor, whose re-
moval is sought after 4 stormy adj
ministration of nine months, were
defeated with only one or two sup
porting votes.
The governor personally appeared
as confident as ever and clung to
his determination to stay in the
fight until the finish.

These facts constitute the explain

The French foreign office dis

Poincare at Nevers yesterday would

1t was thought very doubtful,
however, that even this would cause
