Disease in Calf.

against tho foot and mouth disease
among livestock in California was
placed in charge of the federal depart

quest of state authorities.
DR.. L. G. Houck. personal representa-
tive of Henry c. Wallace, secretary of
agriculture, was designated to take
charge of the work with headquarters
in Sacramento, and it was agreed by
Governor Richardson and Director G
H. Hecks of the state department Of
agriculture that state veterinarians
and inspectors, as we'll as all other
state employees engaged in the efforts
to eradicate the disease, would be
placed under his supervision.
State department officials were I'm
certain as to when federal control
would be assumed, but they believed
DR.. Houck would take full charge inn
mediately.
During the day Governor Richardson
telegraphed to Secretary Wallace a
protest against the proposed establish
ment of a quarantine line along the
western boundary of the Yuma Indian
reservation, 10 miles from the Arizona
border. This is a desert country and
affords no food or shelter for persons
who might be held up by the Quaran-
tine regulations, the governor declared

TEXT OF ADDRESS

The gathering and publication of
news has deeper significance than
is sometimes realized. No large en-
terprise can exist for itself alone.
1t ministers to some great need, it
performs some great service, not for
itself, but for others; or. failing
therein. it ceases TO be profitable
and ceases to exist. This is the case
with the Associated Press. 1t Is one
OF the eyes of mankind which never
slumbers. Without ceasing, il as
sembles each day the events of each
part of the world, and transmits
them to every other part. The fun
damental reason for this lies in tho
TACT that it is felt to be of vital i'm
portance TO each man, and each
community, to know what other men
and other communities are doing.
The news is printed and read, not for
the mere purpose of entertainment,
amusement and recreation, but al
most entirely for the practical pur-
pose of information. in order that
by means of accurate knowledge OF
what others are doing a course may
be laid out of accurate and successful
action.
Faith in the American people
means 4 faith in their ability to form
sound judgments, when once the
facts have been presented to them
clearly and without prejudice. II is

Stole in Anticipation of
Coming of Stork-Writs of
Habeas Corpus Denied

New York. April CECILIA Cooney,
confessed bobbed hair bandit, today
lost her first legal battle in less than
an hour after she was half led. half
carried by detectives through dense
throngs at the Pennsylvania terminal
from the train which brought her from
Jacksonville, Fla, where she was cap
tured.
Following close behind her, his cap
pulled down over his face to escape a
battery of newspaper cameras, came
her tall companion and husband, Ed
ward S. Cooney.
Several thousand persons, who but a
few minutes before had cheered Presi-
dent Coolidge on his departure to
Washington after his address at the
annual luncheon of the Associated
Press. jammed the corridors for a
glimpse Of the bandit pair. Mrs.
Cooney, big-eyed, cheerful and smiling,
on the train had "dolled up" for the
Homecoming. With her husband she
admitted IL robberies which netted
them $11O0.
1--WE had to do it for the baby that
was coming" they said.
Writs of habeas corpus issued by
Supreme Court Justice Levy were serv-
ed on detective escorts and dumfound-
ed the police. Whatever glimmer Of
hope it might have kindled in the
couple, whose baby had died only IL
days ago, was soon dispelled when SUI
preme Court Justice Giegerich dis
missed the writs and remanded both
tho girl and her husband to custody.
Rushed through a side exit of the
Pennsylvania station. a pathway being
cleared by the police, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cooney were hustled away in automo-
biles to the courthouse Immediately
after they arrived. A dozen detectives
, and uniformed police shielded the pair
from the crowds.
Assistant District Attorneys Dris-
coll and Walsh fought against the final
granting of the writs by Justice Gle
gerich. Samuel I. Liekdwitz of coun-
sci for the accused declared he sought
to shield them, especially Mrs. Cooney,
from sweating at the hands of po-
lice.
Walsh challenged Liellowitz au-
thority to represent the couple as both
insisted on the train they did not want
a lawyer.
In court both denied that they had
seen Liekowitz or engaged him as
