HOFFMAN GUILTY IN SECOND DEGREE
Time
He Has Heard
Such Verdict

s"Guilty Of second degree murd-
er, was the verdict which the jury
in the Hoffman case returned last
night against ID. b. Hoffman, form
er lockwood rancher, charged with
the murder of Jack Schaeffer on
May 20, 1923. Judge Cole announc-
ed that sentence would be imposed
Tuesday.
1t was the second time that Hoff-
him, rs he was found guilty of see
cOnd degree murder Mt this first
trial early in 1924. That verdict
was appealed and the supreme court
granted him new trial.
The verdict was reached shortly
before IL O'Clock last night, and
the court and attaches were hur-
riedly summoned to Department No.
l. Hoffman was brought to the
court room from the Jail where he
has been confined since the shoot
ing. He was accompanied by his
wife and son.
The jury presented the verdict TO
Judge Cole, who read it aloud.
Hoffman made no sign of emotion
or surprise, evidently having steel.
ed himself against a verdict. There
was a recommendation for leniency,
in view Of the fact that Hoffman
has already served two years in the
county Jail while awaiting trial.
Claimed Self Defense
Sehaeffer was shot by Hoffman
while he was waiting outside the
latter's barley field for two com
panions who had left him in their
car while they went to q thrasher
in the field to get some baling wire
| 10 fix broken shock absorber on
/ the car.
The trio had been followed by
Hoffman, who fired two shots in the
direction Of Schaeffer's companions
and ordered them to leave his
field. Schaeffer, who was sitting
on the running board of the ear,
demonstrated with Schaeffer for
shooting and in the alteration
which resulted, Hoffman shot
Sehaeffer claiming during the trial
that he acted in self-defense.
Following the shooting Schaeffer
was taken TO Brawley by his com.
panions and later was removed TO
the FL Centre hospital, where he
died the following day. Hoffman
returned TO his home and went to
bed after the affray, without max
ing any report of the shooting, or
attempting to do, anything for
Schaeffer $ relief, facts which tend,
ed to nullify his claim of self.de-
fense. .-..
The prosecution was conducted by
District Attorney Utley and Deputy
j. +. Simpson. Charles f. Scott
and Edgar b. Hervey were attor.
neys for the defendant.

LIBEL SUIT

by United Press Leased Wire
YUMA, Ariz., April 25.-
George w. Lynn, editor and
publisher of the Yuma Evening
Herald, went to Jail today in
defense of the rights of free
speech and liberty of the
press.
The fighting editor refused
to post $4,000 bonds when he
was arrested and arraigned on
criminal libel warrant sworn
to by e. F. Sanguinetti, Yuma
valley millionaire.
He declared he would ''re-
main behind bars until the
rights Of free speech and a
free press are vindicated.
The iber action eliminated a
vigorous editorial campaign
against the millionaire the past
month in Lynn's newspaper.
Lynn charged that Sanguinetti
monopohzed all important in
dustries in the Yuma valley,
and was debating the politics
Of that section of the state.
Sanguinetti in his complaint
alleges that the Herald made
i1blous statements concerning
his tax payments and his milk
business.

RIOTS MARKING
PRE-ELE CTI0N
GERMAN CRISIS
by United Press Leased Wire

BERLIN, April 25.-Thirty mil
lion German voters will decide to-
morrow whether the aged Marshal
Won Hindenburg or former Chan
cellor Wilhelm Marx will be presi-
dent of Germany for the next seven
years.
Several election dcmonstra-
tions occurred in the streets of Ber-
lin today. In one instance, accord
ing to reports, one man was killed
and two wounded when members of
the Fascist opened fire on an auto
mobile in which several members of
the Republica Reichsbander organ.
ization were riding.
A third candidate, Ernst Thael-
mann, once Il hobo in America, is al
so running on the Communistic
ticket for the presidency, but his
candidacy is mere sideline with
not even 4 remote chance of sue
cess.
Both the "empire bloc" support
ing Hindenburg, and the folks
bloc,' supporting Marx, claimed to-
day that their candidate should
win.
Revelations by the foreign office
early today that its diplomats
abroad reported considerable con.
eern regarding Hindenburg's candi-
dacy may have an eleventh. hour eff
feet on the elections.
According to the foreign office,
the presidential contest is looked
upon abroad as Il monarchy VS..
republic struggle.

BY MYRON ". DEPEW
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

SACRAMENTO, April o. The
California state Legislature will go
through the formalities of adjourn
ment today, practically all of the
business of the 46th biennial session
having been completed during the
meetings yesterday.
Officially the hour of noon April
"a has never arrived as far as
either the senate or the assembly is
concerned. The clocks in he two
chambers were stopped at 1l:29 a.
m. yesterday. .a.
Yesterdays session of the lower
house lasted until early this morn
ing, the senate finishing a few min
utes previous. The Legislators to-
day awaited official word from the
governor sanctioning cessation of
activities.
Nearly two hundred measures,
most of them uncontested and min
or proposals, were acted upon during
the last minute rush.
This included the customary reso-
lutions praising various members for
their excellent service as well as
the attaches for their dispatch in
the performance of their duties.
When the adjournment is taken
the principal fight of the entire ses-
sion will have been left in the hands
of Governor Friend w. Richardson
for disposal. The Breed one cent
gasoline tax proposal must be acted
upon by the chief executive within
so days or it will fail to become
a law.
Score of Amendments
In addition to the regular appro.
nriation bills new laws and propos-
ed changes in the present ones, the
legislature has voted to place nearly
score of constitutional amend
ments on the ballot at the next gen
eral election.
Whether or not these proposals
are written into the state constitu-
tion depends upon the will expressed
by the people in 1923.
The concern of the session today
marks the end of one of the dullest
sessions of the legislature in years,
according to veteran solons. OF the
entire lot of nearly 2500 measures
introduced during the term but one
big issue was outstanding. This
was the fight over highway financ-
ing which centered around the gaso,
line tax increase.
Numerous other major battles over
legislation were precipitated but the
old battle between administrations
lists and anti-administratio forces
was lacking in almost every other
instance. The three factions which
carried on were the San Francisco
delegation, the farm bloc and the
Los Angeles representation.

ARGENTINE FLYER
 ARRANGES FLIGHT

T SEATTLE, Feb. 24.-Patricio D. Murphy, representing the Argentine government, arrived here yesterday to make arrangements for the flight of Major Pedro Zanni of Argentine, who is at Osaka, to complete his flight around the world Zanni started last year. It is stated that Zanni will fly from the Kuriles to Prince Rupert, via the Aleutian Islands, Seward, Cor dova, Sitka and on down the coast. Because of the friendship of the Uni ted States for Argentina, Zanni will make the flight to San Francisco, thence by the air mail route across the country instead of crossing Cana da. He will complete the flight via New Foundland to Ireland, or New Foundland to the Azores, according to weather conditions.
 Murphy will return to Japan after making arrangements for the flight here and at Vancouver, British COlum- bia. He will travel ahead of Zanni all the way to Amsterdam, where the start was made. He said he did not know whether private American or government boats would convoy Zanni around the north Pacific. His stops will be the same as those made by the American aviatOrs.

NEW DISCOVERY EXPECTED
 TO END ABScESSED TEETH

TORONTO, Feb. 24.-What is called the greatest advance in the art of den- tistry in 100 years is announced from the Royal College of Dentistry here as result of research work carried on at the University of Toronto and ex- periments by Toronto dentists.
 Briefly, the result is that no longer will there be danger of abscesses forming at the roots of teeth. The es- sence of the discovery is the use of copper amalgam as permanent fill ing for the root canals of the teeth. Copper amalgam has been used as a filling for teeth before, but not until now was it known to have a germi- cidal effect.
 It is stated that when the nerve in tooth has been destroyed the cav ity can be filled with copper amalgam and there will be no danger of an ab- scess forming at the root of the tooth.

J 1919, he was chairman of the Inter- national Social Democratic Confer ence at Berne, at which British. French and Germans met for the first time since the war.
 During the Paris peace conference Dr. Granting was active as an adyo- cate of peace on the lines of Wood row Wilson's fourteen points. AS Sweden's delegate to the League of Nations he took a prominent part in it's proceedings with special inter- est in the movement for disarma- ment. He was chairman of the as- sembly committee on disarmament at the 1920 and 1921 sessions and also was appointed member of the lea que councils commission on arma- ments.
 Dr. Granting, with Christian L. Lang of Norway, secretary of the International Union, was awarded the ANODSI TcdC6 fTlZG TOT 1921.
 Born at Stockholm, November 23. 1860, Dr. Granting was the son of Professor L. G. Branting He was educated at Upsala University, study ing natural sciences.
 A trip abroad prior to 1882 brot the young scientist into touch with Socialism and when he returned he immediately got into politics thru the journalistic channel, becoming an editor on the TIDEN, a Social Dem ocratic newspaper. He went over to the SOCIALDEMOKRATEN when it was founded in 1886 and a year later became editor In that position he carried on his activities in behalf of the working classes and peace.
 The Social Democrats organized as party with Granting one of the leading promoters. There was oppo, sitiOn to it from the start, accom- panied by a movement for the re- pression of free speech and free as- sembly. In two years, or in the sum- mer of 1889, the four principal edi- tors of the Socialistic press, includ- ing Granting, found themselves sit ting in prison together. Despite im- prisonments, combined with fines, re- peated many times, Granting and his fellow fighters would not give way
 In 1895, when war against Norway was advocated by the Swedish mili- tarists, Granting was sentenced to three months imprisonment for de- 'livering a speech denouncing the idea of war "agaist our brothers of the north,' and containing words interpreted as suggesting the assass- ination of the king. The sentence subsequently, was changed to a fine.
 Dr. Granting was first elected to the second chamber in 1897 on the Social Democratic ticket. He made brilliant and honorable record and by his sincerity and ability won the respect of those who had been his bitterest opponents. He was the au- thor of several books and treatises on political subjects.
