BOULDER BATTLE
WAGES IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. Especial to the Age)-A slow,
but what close observers believe substantial advance
the Senate this afternoon toward Boulder
dam legislation. Hayden of Arizona held the
floor whole afternoon explaining his proposed amend
ment apportioning 100000 of annually
to California interrupted by frequent questions
inerjections by Senators Johnson Braton, King,
Walsh of Montana, CaToway, and others. There is
feeling that will settle the controversy by plac
ing Cafornas ALLEGATION of 100000 feet
per a compromise and that this will be accepted
by both will practically passage Of the
measure, probably before Christmas.
Both Johnson and Hayden have admitted in
the course of the debate with settlement
reached other difficulties be surmouned Boulder
dam supporters continue a most hopeful mood.

DISCUSSION
SWTNG-JOHNSON
BILL STARTED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, Up -
Discussion of the Swing-Johnson
bill was started in the Senate
where it left off last session.
The first move of Senator john
son of California was to ask that
the measure as aready passed by
the House be substituted for the
one under discussion by the Sen
ate, a move which was unanimous
ly accepted. Senator Ashurst con-
sented to the move upon the un-
derstanding that the amendment
he offered last session would not
be placed in Jeopardy.
Meanwhile Senator Hayden de-
clared no one was more anxious
than he to see a settlement OF
the Boulder dam question but he
saw no way TO agreement except
by compromise.

JOHNSON FIGHTS
FOR DAM BILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, Up
With every indication that discus
sions will stretch out for some
time to come the Senate started
its second day of debate over the
best way to construct the huge
power and irrigation project on
the Colorado River.
Having placed the Swing-John-
son bill once more before the Sen
ate, Senator Johnson, Of California
was anxious to keep it there until
action would be taken. How sue
cessful he will be remains for the
coming day to tell.
Senator Hayden Of Arizona held
the floor most Of yesterday In op-
position to the measure, but the
questions he fired at California
gave johnson a chance to put in
the records at least a few Of his
contentious. Hayden declared that
Hoover was in favor Of a tax on

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6, R-
Two weeks after he steps from Of
flee, District Attorney Asa Keyes,
a figure n Los Angeles political
circles for a quarter Of a century,
will go on trial charged with one
of the most astounding bribery
plots in the city's history.
Keyes' names is identified with
many sensational trials, including
the Aimee Semple Mcpherson case
and the murder trial OF William
z. Hickman, for the Staying OF
12-year- Marian Parker.
The famous prosecutor will sit
in a familiar court December IT
while Buron Fits, his elected sue
cessor, and one-time aide in office,
seeks to prove that Keyes accept
ed bribes to secure the acqu1ttal
Of the notorious Julian Petroleum
corporation promoters.
The history of that alleged oil
scandal will be as much a part OF
the trial as the stocky prosecutor
himself, for three of the men
CIlhTBcu WIFI q pd1I III b1AC
swindle of more than 10000 in
vestors also have been caught in
grand jury's charges of corrup-
ton.
Keyes, it has been agreed, will
be tried apart from the others.
The co-defendantS are Jacob Ber-
man, known up and down Broad
way as the bright youngster" of
the Julian fiaSco; the RoSenbergS,
Ed and Jack, promoters; Charles
Reimer. special investigator in
KeyeS' office; Ben and Dave
Getzoff, father and son proprie-
tors of an obscure Spring street
tailor shop where the "pay-orfs"
were alleged to have been made
during the Julian tria. and A. 1.
LaSker, former head Of defunct
finance company.
The Lasker case, separate from
the Julian trial, was an embezzle-
ment action in which the grand
jury accused KeyeS of accepting a
Las Vegas age. [volume] (Las Vegas, Nev.) 1905-1947, 1928-12-06

bribe to dismiss the charges.
The case against Keyes is all
the more sensational in that it
involves q man upon whose name
scandal never had touched before
in a long public career.
KeyeS' prosecutor, once neuten-
ant governor Of California, was
elected after Keyes, a short time
before the grand jury laid its
cards on the table, announced his
retirement
Keyes, the grand jury said, had
engineered the Julian trial which
resulted in the acquittal Of every
defendant. As one witness put
it: The verdict nearly knocked
Judge Doran off his chair"
The jurors asserted that KeyeS
had conspired with the Julian
promoters to obtain either the dis
missal of charges or acquittal in
the event of trial
The money involved in the al
legged brigery was not large, the
indictments disclosed. Officially it
totaled $4,000, but rumorS sent it
soaring to huge sums. A United
States district attorney said Ber-
man made $3,OOO.O 900 off the Julian
collapse.
First evidence of ripple in the
smooth workings of Keyes' office
came when an employe of the
tailor shop, Milton Pike. angered
at the Getzoffs for alleged salary
differences, brought a little diary
10 a county official.
1t recited the frequent meetings
of Keyes and various defendants
in Getzoff's shop. Pike said he
and other employees overheard "in-
teresting" conversations in the
partitioned office. A three-Sided
mirror facing the office reflected
the actions of the occupants and
Pike said he saw large sums of
money exchanged. Subsequently,
other related alleged surreptitiouS
deals in Keyes' office centering
about the LaSker and Julian
cases.

FALLON-SCHUIRZ
BIDS UP NEXT

At a meeting of the board OF
directors Of the state highway de-
partment at Carson City yesterday
il was decided to advertise for
bids for the construction Of 1888
additional miles of highway on
the North-South highway system
between Schurtz and Fallon. This
stretch will extend from the north
limits of the Schurz Indian reser-
vation to a point 1877 miles south
OF Fallon. Bids for this work
will be opened December IL.
Although a part of the state
highway system, the new road will
not be a part of the federal aid
system, so Churchill county will
finance the construction. A bond
issue of $4,000 has already been
floated by Churchill county to
raise the money to build the new
stretch.
