FATHER AND SON
RELATIONSHIP IS
ADDRESS THEME;
DR.. Barker Thrills Audi
ence of Men and Boys
at High School

In IN address remarkable for Its
frankness, and at the same time
free from the slightest bit of suggcs,
tiveness, DR.. Charles Z. Barker thrill
ed an audience of several hundred
men and boys at the high school
auditorium last night as he told them
his idea of the dutres of a father 10
his children.
Following several Introductory
stories, DR.. Barker launched into
his subject by declaring that fathers
too often lose interest in their child
rem, especially the boys, Immediately
after the latter go to school. This
, is one of the most critical periods
in the Youngsters life, he said, and
is one of the times when boy needs
his father most. The latter should
be n pal to HIS son, showing interest
in his studies, in his games, the com
pdnions he makes, and gradually
moulding his character by his init
mate association with him.
One of the finest examples n faith
er can set TO his son, DR.. Barker
stated, is for the former to go to
church on Sunday. He stated no
man would care to raise a family III
a town where there is no church
and that where the latter are or
ganized, they should be supported.
If the boy does not see his father
interested in church, he too will re-
fuse to 90 or soon lose interest re
sulting in the increase of the non
church going element with all the
dangers Of reverting to paganism.
Should Obey the Law
Respect for law he maintained to
be the most important need i'll this
country. The tr>ining of the young
child should make him obey the laws

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-In two
hours of the severest grilling that
has yet marked examination of any
witness before 1t, Senate Teapot
Dome committee today found out
that Frank A. Vanderlip had no
information on which to base his
statement that the sale of the Mar
ion Star by the late President Har
ding ought to be Investigated.
Democrats and Republicans inn
partially joined in submitting Van
derlip to merciless cross exami-
nation in which his action was Sc
verelv condemned and his motive
sought. Committee members ac-
cused him of broadcasting scanda
and it was even suggested he had a
"grouch' - against the late Mr..
Harding, which he was seeking to
satisfy. This Vanderlip denied.
He retracted some of his criti-
cisms of the committee itself, part
of which was directed at its failure
to force Albert B. Fall to testify.
Nanderlp said the committee ap-
peared to be afraid to question
Fail but today admitted that state
ment was unwarranted.
After Vanderlip's dramatic ex.
animation was ended the committee
briefly questioned Tom Johnson,

UTLEY PLANS ON
ACTION AGAINST
VALLEY ALIENS
Many of Them Believed
to Be Breaking Alien
LAW e

Action to enforce the provisions OF
the alien land law has been decided
upon by District Attoriiey Utley,
following investigations which have
been made for several days past
and which have uncovered deliberate
attempts to violate the law.
Today b. A. Harrigan, county hor-
ticultural commissioner, and b. A.
Robbins, of the district attorney s
office, are visiting ranches where
japanese have planted cantaloupe
after the alien law had been de
clared constitutional by the United
States supreme court, and VIII serve
subpoenas on those who ha.'e Eiolat-
ed The law, compelling them to ap-
pear in court.
Not only will the japanese, or 9th
er ineligible aliens, who have put IN
crops be subjected to arrest, but land
owners, who have permitted the
crops to be put in, will also o2 prose.
cuted.
Discover Many Violations
1t was stated at the district attor-
news Office this morning mat the
Investigations have resulted in the
discovery of many violations ard
that instructions have been '"cciE-
ed from the attorney general 5 OF
flee to take whatever steps are ne
cessary to enforce the law.
Some time ago, the attorney gen
cral advised district attorneys. that
where crops had been planted before
the decision of the supreme court,
and i'll good faith, the owners OF the
crops should not be molested. 1t
was made clear, however, iiplt nc
crops were to be planted by inelig
iblc aliens after the decision.
It is believed that Imperial coun
ty is the first county in the state tc
take action against the violatorS OF
the law and the course taken here
will undoubtedly be closely watched
throughout the state and nation.

law gave it that authority. Raker
thereupon moved that it was the
sense of the committee that reso-
luton be introduced in the house
giving the committee broad invcsti-
eating authority, including the pow

committee objected that this might
take too long and it was agreed the
