CATTLE RAISERS
WARNED AGAINST
CUT In TARIFF

Ell PASC, Texas, Jan 25 P)-
Repeated warnings to cattle raisers
to resist any attempt to lever the
tariff on beef from South American
countries matSed the opening session
of the annual convention of tho
American National Livestock associa-
ton here today. Both L G. Erite
of Maria, Texas, and w w, Turney
Ell Paso, lawyer and cattlenan, warn
ed the stockmcn to be on their guarG
to prevent such an occurrence.
Mr.. Brite said there was growing
sentiment in the manufacturing states
of the east to have free Oeef' from
he said tremendous pressure was
being brought to bear on the present
administration.
In reviewing the year, Brite said
that 1927 was the first in six years
that had yielded a fair profit to the
stock man.
Turney cautioned the stock men tC
be careful to practice real economy
and guard their position. "We dc
not know how long this prosperity
will last" he said. "We should be
careful; not like we were when
yearlings reached SIG, Then we said
we would walk on velvet and buy
diamonds.
''No meat is consumed in the west
to speak about. The rea. meat con-
sumption is in the east. Don't get
out here and tell them you nave ST
much money you do not know what
to do about investing it If you have
money you should buy better cattle
and more ranches"
Robert A. Wright, OF Drinkwater
Canada, president of the Western
Canada Livestock union, told the
association he believed a mistake had
been made in drafting the tariff
on cattle in failing to differentiate
between the character of the foreign
supplies and their sources and Can
adian surplus, which was made ur
largely of thin cattle and not beef
He said he did not believe American
domestic prices would have suffered
if Canada had been given preferential
treatment with respect 10 thin cattle
Insofar as Canadian supplies oi
cattle and beef are concerned" he
said, "your tariff has been revenue
rather than protective tariff and
during the period of liquidation and
up until 1925 your domestic supply
was such as to make the tariff more
effective on Dominion prices rather
than United States prices, particu-

CARLOS HARDY
Continued From Page One)

After an hours conference with
Presiding Judge Victor McLucas,
Judge Hardy announced he would file
a counter affidavit at 2 o'clock. In
this, although denying the harboring
of any bias, or prejudice, Judge Hardy
in effect disqualified himself from
sitting in the trial. He announced
that "in the interests of justice and
the speedy hearing of this trial." he
consented to allowing another jurist
being appointed to preside at the
trial.
District Attorney Asa Keyes, chief
of the states attorneys, vigorously
opposed the courts action, as in the
morning he had opposed and urged
the overruling of the delense excep-
ton. Keyes refused the legal oppor-
tunity of comforting with the defense
counsel to select Judge mutually
acceptable, and the procedure of
naming Judge Hardy's successor went
to the judicial counsel, empowered
by law to so act in such a situation.
The swift action of the morning
session was eclipsed by the thunder
bolts of the afternoon, in the 20
minutes of which the defense found
itself victorious in the first skirlnish.
Immediately after the adjournment,
which was taken until Thursday
morning, the district attorney gct into
telephone communication with Chief
Justice William Waste of iile Cali
fornia supreme court who is in San
Farnciscos The chief Justice, as head
of the judicial council, is. empowered
with the directing of assigning a new
judge. The district attornev declared
his intelftion of doing all possible
to obtain Judge before tomorrow
morning, that the trial might proceed
without further delay.
The youthful defendant. his near
black wavy hair accen1uating the
pallor of his face, remained mostly
quiet throughout the rapid fire events
that followed the strategic moves of
his defender. The Slight figure was
somewhat crouched in his chair, con-
trasting with the erect FbuIKs Of his
deputy sheriff guard on his right
and his attorney at the counsel table
on his left. Richard Cantiiion, asso-
ciate defense counsel, was at the
COuAloCA OoIO1C W (11C 1lSIlO' vi I1iCh~
mans guard.
Although spectators were lined ur
in the eighth floor corridors awaiting
chance to gain entrance to the
trial scene in the morning, the eager
ness Of the curious usual in q trial
crowd, was markedly absent. A dozen
courtroom seats were vacant, and the
courtroom scene was drab with the
predominating dark colors OF men
The scenes were changed for the
afternoon session, when large crowd
of women and girls filled the corridor
outside the six foot high board bar
ricade, and when their colorful COS,
Tunes frightened the hue of the
courtroom, into which large number
| had made their way.

combine to give an impression of rich
ness.
The new Hudson cars are designed
so that motorists who enjoy super-six
performance may also have exception
al standards of style and smartness.
In the custom built cars, color panels
and mouldings are employed to bring
about remarkably pleasing and dis
tinctive effects. Within, the seats are
form fitting and deeply cushioned, with
upholstery of mohair. Hardware is
especially rich and attractive; all fit
tings and appointments are not only
complete but of advanced standard.
Hudson Essex is introducing this line
of cars after compJ ling the most sue
cessful year in its history, with around
100000 six-cylinder cars manufactured.

To the allegations the court an
swered in his disqualifying affidavit
in the afternoon:
"While this court cmphatically
denies being biased or preJudiced in
any way to this defendant, rather
than let the case drag through

effect, coming unexpectedly OH the
heels of the earlier announcement OF

in displaying his displeasure at the

STOP The FAT
AND GET THIN

The way to reduction is to stop the
formation of fat. Modern science has
found that way--by turning your food
into fuel and energy by supplying a
natural element that helps do that. It is
much better than starvation. That mod
crn, scientific method is embodied in
Marmola prescription tablets. People
have used them for 20 years-millions
of boxes of them. Now the results in
slender figures, new beauty and vitality,
are seen everywhere.
Each box of Marmola contains the
formula, also the scientific reasons for
results. So you know the effects, are
beneficial, and why they all occur. Learn
what so many have learned in 20 years
about it. Do it now. Ask your drug
gist for 81 box of Marmola and learn
what it means to you.
