HANFORD, -Cal Dec. 15. (Pl-Love letters found in a 15-year-old girls hope chest may hold clues to solve the mystery of the murder of her mother, who was beaten to death with an iron bar as she slept beside her husband early Sunday morning. Mace Artist, the husband, was beaten so badly that he probably will die. The hope-chest missives were penned by James Allendale, a gassed war veter- an. He declared he knows nothing of the killing although he reported to police that he heard groans coming from the Artists bedroom where they were beaten.

FIRST STRAW VOTE

lti little too early to make predictions concerning what the national conventions will do with the numerous presidential candidates who have been mentioned but straw vote recently taken by Republican magazine may be of interest to those who like to indulge in political speculatons.
 Inquiries addressed to many newspaper editors and political leaders all Republicans asking their opinion as to the strength of the proposed candidates
 The editors voted as follows: Hoover 5T7, Lowden 518 Hughes 218, Dawes 88 Curtis 39 Borah 28 Long, worth H. and the rest scattered The political leaders gave Hoover 267 Lowden PAS, Hughes 115, Dawes 60.
 These Republican editors and leaders were also asked nee based upon sentiment in their respective localities I y
 The editors gave Smith 737, Reed 163, McAdoo 1O2, Meredith 11O while the politicians gave Smith 1884, Reed III, McAdoo 34 and Meredith B.
 It may be consideded significant that the editors and political leaders agreed the order in which the leading candidates stand with respect to their relative strength at the present time Whether this judgment is sound is fine subject for argument. And whether the candi dates they have picked will hold their supposed strength until convention time is something else again x

BRUSH FIRE THREATENS
HEWETSON'S HOSPITAL

A large pile. of brush near
some sheds in the rear of Hewet-
sons Hospital was discovered in
flames about two o'clock Friday
afternoon. The fire alarm was
turned in and the fire boys had
water on the blaze in about three
or four minutes.
The fire had a good start and
sheds and garages were threaten
ed with destruction. The quick
response of the fire department
prevented what might easily have
been a serious fire.
The brush accumulated when
the trees around the hospital were
trimmed and a man had been hir-
ed to haul it away. Several loads
had been disposed of and there
now remains a large lie of ashes.
The cause of the fire is un-
known.

LEGION fight CARD
HOLDS PROMISE OF
LIVELY CONTESTS
wild Bill" Farrell Meets
skip" Liebo in Murder
FinaIs.-Young Bobbie Is
Coming Back.

From the looks of the pictures
of the two main eventers OF the
Legion fight card there will prob
ably be a murder instead OF a
fight in back of the Legion
building April End. 1t is hard
to imagine wild Bill" Farrell
in the same ring with the gentle
man consorting under the fight
eognomen of "Skip" Leibo, as
"Skip" has all the earmarks of a
tough piece of merchandise and
when one stops to consider that
the tougher they come the wilder
"Wild Bill" gets then it is a
cinch the fur will fly Skip is
fighting Arizona Joe Rivers IN
Phoenix the middle of April and
Wild Bill just won a decisive
victory over the justly famous
frankie Barnes at Ely last week
so this fight looks like about the
choicest morsel dished up to the
fight fans Of Vegas in many a
long day.
The semi-final brings back an
old favorite in the person OF
Sailor Fay of Salt Lake City who
stopped Young Bobbie in one
sided match last October here:
The Sailor has won 21 straight
fights in and around Salt Lake
this past winter and is right now
qt ton form. Little is known OF
Roxy Dutch Easter, his oponent
except his record, which is very
impressive to say the least, he
having beat Young Fitzimmons
AT Fresno and fought draw with
Ritchie King of Wilmington.
King is rated as one of the best
boys on the coast right now and
never ia Is to pack them in at
Wilmington. Dutch will have
about 5 pounds weight advantage
and looks awful sweet in his
gymnasium workouts which may
prophecy the end of the Sailors
winning streak.
The special event will in all
probability be WOW featuring
Cowboy Morris and Peter Lee
fight at AS pounds. Cowboy
needs no introduction to the local
fans while ePter Lee is a new
conner to the ranks of the cauli-
flower ear gentry of Las Vegas.
He is a rangy youth with a long
reach and looks to be awful fast
and shifty in his workouts and
packs a stiff punch.
Kid Black the pride of the
shop apprentices and Fuzzy Fell
Of the Grocery Delivery Union
will tangle for three spasms, and
one other event will complete
the card.

Five from Supreme Court To

Interesting news to the. young

IN the Fourth National Oratorical
Contest is contained in an an
nouncement made yesterday by

lional finalists will be judged by
the justices of the United States

time. Director Nichols also an
nounced that the national finals
will be conduced in Washington
on May 27 instead of May 20.
Witch interest in the contest
growing more intense every day
in the various districts where
many eliminations have already
been conducted allowing more
time for preparation for the DIS
trict finals on the night of April
%, Director Nichols yesterday
gave the details of the arrange
ments which have been made for
the Washington national finals.
the Washington Aud torium and
The finals will be conducted in
the judges will be Justices San
ford, Sutherland, Van Deventer,
Butler and Stone. The low point
total system will be used, each
judge rating each speaker the
composite rating of ali the speak
ers by all of the judges determin-
ing the national champion. 1t
was pointed out there will be no
consultation among the judges,
who will be seated in d.fferenl
parts of the huge auditorium.
Under the low1point-total sys-
tenn a perfect score with five
judges would be five. A speaker
rated as the lowest by all five
of the judges, with seven contest
ants being passed upon, would be
given a total of thirty-five points.
Competition in the national fin
ais is growing more keen every
year if the rating of the first
three national champions can be
used as a criterion. The final
scores of the national champion
of 1924, 1925 and 1926 were
twelve, ten and nine, respectively.
Another interesting point is the
fact that the finalists, coming as
they do from all parts of the
United States, will be hardly
more widely distributed geograph-
ically than their five distinguish
ed judges who were appointed
from the States of Tennessee,
Utah, Wyoming, Minnesota and
New York, respectively.
Reports of the progress at the
different high schools participat-
ing continued to pour in yester-
day to Director Nichols. AS an
added incentive to the students
at the Burbank High School the
Burbank Rotary Club has an
nounced its intention of award
ing an extra prize. This was de-
cided on at recent meeting of
the board of directors and the
prize will be a $40 gold piece.
