aimee OF Lying,
in CHURCH ROW
Mrs. Kennedy Opens Up ON
Evangelist Daugh t e r
With Statement

LOS ANGELES, July 27 (H9-The
rift in the affairs OF Angelus Temple
split wide open today, its earthquake
like proportions revealing the "mess"
Of dissension within.
The revelations OF Mrs. Minnie
Kennedy, deposed business manager,
of the row over temple finances which
she said had sent their differences
into the hands OF lawyers, and during
which she accused hcr evangelist
daughter, Aimee Semple Mcpherson,
of lying, had sent the latter, pros
trated, to her bed.
The evangelist was accused by her
sobbing mother OF hiring six or eight
persons to stir up a revolt against
her at Angelus Temple and in the
branch churches. Sne was accused
of making false statement against
her mother, and then denying that
she ever made it, She was accused
of turning her back on her mother,
and telling her she WoU.d speak to
her only through her lawyer, with the
matter to be settled in the courts.
The campaign of her daughter
against her, Mrs. Kennedy charged,
started soon after the evangeIist's S
court trial on conspiracy charges was
dismissed last winter, which grew out
of her kidnapping story year ago.
1t went ahead with the slogan, Get
sister back in her rlghtful place as
pastor and president of Angelus
10 hn
business manager declared told all
the people with whom they came in
contact that Mrs Kennedy must go
or sister will not return"
"The thing that hurts me most, -
Mrs. Kennedy said as she sobbed
heart brokenly in the huge and lonely
temple home, sis that while sister
was sending me messages OF love and
confidence from the east, at the same
time she was giving instructions to
these people to take all control OF
the temple from my hands. Another
thing was her statement from the
pulpit Monday night that L had re-
fused to sign pay checks. That is
not true, but when 1 asked her to
correct it she denied that she ever
made the statement.
The evangelist struck back in the
mother and daughter quarrel this
afternoon when she issued a state
ment charging Mrs. Kennedy with
threatening to "break her"

Pherson asserted, whom 1 can name,

them she would crush me, break me,

American IS Victim
OfAgua Prieta Drug
Ring, Police Assert

George Martin Church a brakeman
had just been transferred from Tue
son to this city was found lying in
the street on the north side of the
Aqua Prieta plaza dead at daylight
yesterday morning. Investigation in
dicated that Church was victim of
the notorious Aqua Prieta dope ring
that he had been lured into the den,
doped to death, and then dragged
into. the street where the body was
found
This marks the third death direct
ly due to this cause in Aqua Prieta
in the last two years. Each time
the victim was an American. The
body was discovered by two Mexi-
cans who we're sitting in the Plaza
at dawn. Police were notified. The
officers summoned the judge of the
municipality and the physician.
The physician, according to the
report made by the chief of police
tc the presidente, found that death
was due to alcohol and morphine
Examination proved that the man
had two marks on his left arm such
as are made by the hypodermic
needle used for the injection of the
terrible drug. The skin over the en-
tire body was marked with great
purple and blue blotcles said to be
caused by the poison and which led
first to the theory that the man had
been strangled.
According to statements of the po-
lice and also to the official report.
distinct marks left by the dragging
heels of the mans shoes showed
where the lifelesS form had been
dragged from the Casino Chino"
in the Mexican city. The report
also shows that the body was lit

lead was battered by the fall
Acting Chief Of Police A. B.
Murchison, of Douglas, was sum
noned, and upon making an in
VeStigation OF the body he concluded
that the man was railroad en-
ploye because Of the style of hat he
wore and summoned railroad men
who finally identified the body which
had been stripped OF everything ex-
cept trousers, shoes and the hat
which had been thrown into the
street some distance from the body
evidently in an attempt to mislead
The discoverers into thinking the
man had walked to the place where
the body lay.
Three Cinnamon, Emilio Jem,
Francisco V. Wong and Lee Weng,
we're captured by the police and are
being held pending further investi-
cation. According to Mexican law,
to moleSt or disturb or move dead
body before authority is granted
constitutes an offense only second
to murder itself. 1t was intlmatcd
yesterday in Aqua Prieta that these
Cinnamon will be tried on this
charge.
A theory as to the reason for the
killing by the use of drugs of the
three Americans that have died in
this manner in Aqua Prieta during
the past two years was advanced
yesterday by authorities on criminal
matters. They state that it is their
opinion that the drugs are used in
an attempt to gain addictS and thus
create a sale for the horrible drug.

Branches

BOSTON, July 81, Commander
Richard E. Byrd at his home here to-
day outlined to the Associated Press
his plans and hopes for his scientific
expedition to the South Polar regions
There will be two monoplanes, he
said; one with a single motor similar
to the one Clarence Chamberlain
flew from New York to Germany and
another with three motors, resembling
the America that carried the Com
n1ander across the Atlantic.
Discovery harbor probably will be
the first contact he will make with
the icy waters of the Antarctic Dis
covery harbor is in the great ice
barrier and extends inland five or ten
miles On the west shore Scott, who lost
his life returning from the pole after
discovering that Amundsen had been
there just ahead Of him, had his base,
On the east shore Amundsen set up
his camp.
''After erecting our portable houses
and establishing our primary base on
the shores of the inlet we will work
toward the pole in airplane Jumps
Commander Byrd said.
81 plan to cache stores of food es-

every hundred miles up to 500 miles
inland.
'"These little camps will be laid
down by airplane. That is, we will load
the plane with six months provisions,
hop off for point a hundred miles
from the base where we will leave the
supplies Then returning to the base,
we will take ON another similar load
and jump 200 miles to establish an
other camp and so on until we have
five of them.
"But it is not as simple as that.
There is the ice barrier to be crossed
and we must also fly over a mountain
range during the course of eXplora-
ton, that we believe runs to height
of $4,000 feet"
He explained that Discovery Harbor
penetrateS the barrier for some dis
tance and so will enable the party to
get inland before starting to trek
across the barren wastes. The slopes
increase up to the pole which is two
miles high and it Is across the
marker of the worlds end that Com
mander Byrd will try to fly.
THE ice barrier is approximately
400 miles square and rises at the edge
to a height of 200 feet. 1t surrounds
the whole continent and Discovery
Harbor is the only practicable entry
It don't expect to have the luck we
had in the Arctic as regards the wea-
ther." the commander said.
THE weather in the south polar
regions is bad, he explained. 1t is the
home of high winds and frfgid storms
that more often than not last for days
and make movement impossible.
Then he told of the work expected
of the other scientists in the party
There will be biologist, an ornithol-
ogist, a geologist, an ichthyologist

SCOPE
Of FIRST CALL
Legislature Resolves Itself
Into Fight Over Highway
Action
RECESS is TAKEN
Vetoed Highway Bill Is Re-
introduced, With Amend
ments Pending

PHOENIX, July 27 N - Both
houses of the state legislature re-.
cessed this afternoon until 10 a. m
Monday when they will assemble in
Phoenix to consider house bill 25 and
senate bill 2, which are one and the
same, and in reality the vetoed high.
way measure of the regular session.
Introduction of the bill under the
name OF Representative M j. Muir
ply of Gila, in the house, and by
the majority of the senate high
ways and bridges committee in the
upper house came shortly after the
afternoon session had taken up. The
motion to recess until Monday fol-
lowed shortly thereafter.
An attempt at compromise, launch
ed by minority members in the house
failed, and the third special session
apparently has resolved into a fac
tional fight over highway legislation
and the legality of such, with the
so-called majority pointed toward
passing revised highway measure,
once vetoed by Governor Hunt.
The highway bill provides "a code
for the systematic and orderly adj

fairs directly affecting or concerning

exactly the same as the measure
vetoed by Governor Hunt, and which
the legislature failed by the narrow
margin of vote of passing over the
gubernatorial veto. In printed form
it consists OF 94 pages. However, its
length will be cut considerably by
line respective committees to which
it was referred this afternoon.
Among portions of the bill to be
stricken are the entire chapter per-
tanning to the division of motor We
hicles and portions of the chapter
relating to taxing interstate motor
bIlsses. A recent ruling of the u.
S. supreme court conflicts with
provision included in the original bill
taxing gross receipts of busses.

 To the initiated, Senator Hunt does not clear ly state the proposed change in the boundary line he would have between Alaska and Canada. His purpose, evidently, would be to have the new line begin at a point Lynn Canal between Haines and Skagway and in a northwest erly direction to intersect the eastern fnot southern) boundary of Alaska at some point near the headwaters of the White and Panama Rivers.
 This suggested trade of territory between the United States and Canada was first proposed when John Rosene and others were planning a railroad from the coast to the Tanana Valley. Engineers have claimed that the most direct route to the interior of Alaska, and the best grades, would be found for railroad from Haines as the coast terminus. Such road how ever would have to pass through Canadian territory for long distance unless some deal could be put through that would give the lands transversed to the United States. T. was urged at that time by a considerable number of peo- ple that probably Canada would be willing to cede the United States the necessary area to make such a road all American in exchange for the already developed gateway to Yukon Terri tory and Northern British Columbia.

House of Governors.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

Governor Ritchies proposal for the creation of House of Governors, constituting practical league of States, which, ,-functioning as the third House of the Republic, would uphold States rights, fighting continuously and consistently tc confuse and defeat the steady trends toward excessive centralzation in government might have advantages.
 Such body, as Governor Ritehie says. prob ably could receive legal recognition. But there are numerous great vital existing organi- cations functioning in the interests of the public welfare which receive no legal recognition as political entities.
 A House of Governors could consult. debate agree differ, the Governor suggests. In this day these proceedings would become common property on the instant. No such organization, constantly and alertly asserting and upholding the rights of the States, could fail to become a power in the political life of the Nation. II is conceivable that Congress and the Legislatures of the States might come to listen very attentively to proposals and recommendations emanating from thoroughly established House of Governors.
 Composed of presumably, able men, repre- sentative Americans, united in nonpartisan pur- pose to maintain the Republic transmitted to us by its founders and framers the influence of such an organization should be great indeed.
 And something of the kind is needed. Con gress alone, no more is to be trusted to check capitalization of power in government and in vasion of the rights and liberties of individuals and the States Congress has become the tool of minorities bends before the pressure of innum- erabe coercons which result in the constant multiplying of boards bureaus, departments. com missions committees agents and representatives of bureaucratic power, till they are covering the land the plague of locusts covered Mizram in an elder day

THE USE OF HERRING.

The use of the herring that are taken mas no proper -place in the problem oi the preser- vation of the species If much herring are heinz caught that the perpetuity of that fishery Is in danger it might be well to limit the catch
 but the market demand should determine the use that might be made of the fish taken. II would be just sensible to forbid the use of wheat or corn other food products In the manufacture of chemicals, or as chicken and stock food as to prevent the use of herring as fertilizer or chicken and stock food. The man who lawfully produces anything ought to DC permitted to make the most profitable legitimate use of it. If herring is more valuaple TOT loou or bait than for other purposes it will be made evident in obtainable prices, and it will be used that way.
