|Mr. Autoist, Can
You Take a
! Scout?

w. L. Garrett, in charge Of
transportation facilities for Boy

camp for two weeks, is desirous
Of getting in touch with any

ward San Diego to take care of
these lads.
If the autoist is only going to
Pine Valley or on to San Diego,
it will be Of great help to have
the boys taken as far as Laguna
Junction, where arrangements
will be made to get them in from
the highway to the camp.
Anyone who can help in this
respect is requested to get in
telephone communication with
Mr.. Garrett at 349-J or to tele-

Leopold and Richard Loeb, youthful
killers of Robert Franks, II year
old school boy, hoped, skipped and
went through other motions in the
"prison labratory' today under the
eyes of noted alienists in an effort
TO build up defense of insanity.
DIR. Karl M. Bowman and DR.. H.,

retained by the defense to prove
that the millionaire youths were ir-

Vice resident
Looming as The
Greatest Issue

, CHICAGO, June 14.--For the
first time in the history Of Ameri-
can politics, the campaign this year
is very likely to center on the vice
presidential candidates.
1t is natural, OF course, that be-
cause of the fight in Cleveland,
Geenral Dawes, the Republican vice
presidential nominee, has oversha
dowed President Coolidge in news
interest for the moment.
newspapers through the middle
west give dominant space in stories
and cartoons to the fiery gentle
man who is to run with President
Coolidge. The latter is scarcely
mentioned.
But aside from the fact that the
personality of Dawes and his achieve
ments during and since the war
have made him an outstanding chas-
acter, there is another reason why
the contest between him and the
vice presidelt ial nominee of the
Democrats will take the center of
the stage, perhaps, away from Mr.
Coolidge and the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee. The reason is that
there is a strong possibility of a
man elected as vice president this
year occupying the white house for
the years after next March.
If the independent candidacy Of
Robert NJ. La Toilette attains its
objective, there is more than i bare
possibility Of his getting enough
electoral votes to throw the prcsi
Dental contest into the house of
fongress, where his forces hold the
balance of power today.
May Gum Up Machinery
If he does not like either of the
presidential candidates in the con-
test this fall, he can block q se.s
lection of either Republican or Dem
ocratic nominee. Should he DO this
the contest goes into the senate.
The senate can elect only a vice
president who in the absence for anv
president, becomes the president
himself. -- -----r'--s '------f;--s
There is not the slightest doub.
that the Republicans at Cleveland
were figuring on this possibility in
naming such, men as zLowden and
Dawes as a running mate for Cool
idge. And now that the Republi-
cans have named "a striking per-
sonality like Dawes for the vice
presidency, there is every reason to
believe that the Democrats will
name an equally forceful figure ds
Il running mate to their presidential /;
nominee.
The occupancy by Dawes of the
center of the Republican stage !
will be accentuated, of course, by |
the fact that Coolidge will make al
very limited personal campaign, 4
while Dawes, unless the G. O. p. |
campaign managers direct otherwise,
may be expected to Swing from
one end Of the country to the !
other hurling his effective verbal
she'll fire all over the place.
Participation of Dawes assures q
lively campaign. After the Demo
Gratis nominate, it will be possible
to judge definitely whether tine
chief interest in the Forthcoming
struggle will center in the first or
second places on the ticket.

Henry Jackson, colored, rancher
living six miles northeast of FL
Centro, wishes he had taken his
hunch more seriously, following his
arrest early this morning on a boot
Logging charge.
Jackson and his partner, M.
Moore, also colored,. were surprised
by deputy sheriffs shortly after
five o'clock this morning and be.
fore they could make any attempt
to get away, were placed under ar
rest, while the officers proceeded
to locate about ten gallons of liquor
and 200 gallons of mash, together
with a large still and coils.
When one Of the officers ap-
preached a haystack q short dis
tance from the house and uncover
ed a five gallon demijohn Of liquor
Jackson remarked: 81 done said
last night, 1 might just as well
take that liquor right to the
sheriff's office as to hide it in that
haypile. -
The officers who made the raid
were Deputies Evans, Atkins and
Leonard. They left Ell Centre at
four clock this morning, making
their way along the Dogwood canal
until they turned south about
mile into secluded road that led
to the ranch, where Jackson is said
to be raising a cotton crop.
Needed Ready Money
Stopping at the house, Deputy
Evans ran into the bedroom and
covered jackson and Moore with
his gun before they could get out
of bed. A search Of the room re-
suited in finding about a half gal
lon of liquor there. Officers found
the still, in which the water was
hot, showing that the apparatus
had been in recent use, in an out
house back of the residence. Be-
side it was coil and barrels of
mash amounting to about 200 gal
Ions. The rest of the liquor was
found in the haystack, where the
five gallon demijohn and several
smaller jugs were hidden.
jackson and Moore were both
brought to the Jail to face charges
of bootlegging, although Jackson
told the officers that he was the
sole owner of the still. lie said he
needed SOME ready money until his
cotton crop was harvested and
bootlegging was the quickest way
to get it,
