ago Iglesias, secretary of the Pan
American Federation of Labor and
friend Of vested American interests,

torate was defeated. A motion pro-
testing against the colonial atarus
of Porto Rico, and demanding a
greater degree Of insular sovereignty
than is now permitted by the United
States, was ruled out Of order.
Right-wing influences triumphed in
the direction Of compromise with the
left bourgeois party, the pure repub-
licans," when the convention voted,
lO3 to -, to authorize further nego-
tiations with that party Tor another
electoral coalition. By 81 to as the
delegates rejected a resolution for
bidding the territorial committee to
alter the name or emblem Of the So
cialist party.
Iglesias was reelected president of
the party and chairman of its terri
torial committee, and was renomi-
mated as senator at-large in the island
legislature, where he has been $50
cialist" member for the past 10 years.
Rivera Martinez, vice president Of the
party, was nominated for resident
commissioner in congress. All mem

is aimed not only at Communists, but
at all militant workers.
No opposition has been expressed
by privy council members, or in the
press, concerning the increased harsh
ness of the penalty but the measure
has been resisted by elements which
oppose legislation by edict. Repeated
appeals by the government. which has
pointed out the urgency of the case,
have failed to break the opposition.
With the addition Of the cabinets
votes, it is expected that the edict
will be passed within 48 hours.
A great wave of persecution is ex-
pected to follow the passing of the
death penalty bill and the govern
ment is reported to be making prep
arations for nationwide raids on labor
and fraternal organizations of every
type.
The present laws make activity in
the labor movement punishable by not
less than five years Imprisonment.

has gone dead and resumption of
the round trip Atlantic flight may
not be made until a new motor ar
rives from France.
Lieutenant Paulin Louis Jerome
Paris, commander of the air ad-

day to repair the difficulties that
appeared in the forward motor of
the plane as the La Fregate was
about 100 kilometers from Horta on
It's flight from Erest.
Paris has been unable to locate
the difficulty and has advised the
French ministry of marine that it
may have to be dismantled and
even discarded. In that event the
start of the flight to Bermuda and
thence to the United States would
await arrival Of Il new motor from

CONTRADICTORY
TESTIMONY In
AVELINO CASE

Trial in the case Of Andres Ave
charged with the murder of Ed
Mont ntgomcry, colored, Calipatria,
continued in Judge Thompson SUI
perior court today.
The state completed the entry of
its testimony late yesterday after
noon and the defense Immediately
Logan calling witnesses.
Evidence of the people was to the
effect that Avelina had stabbed and
fatally injured Montgomery during
an alteration at Il restaurant i'll
Calipatria, conducted by Montgom
cry AT the time. Witnesses testified
that the wrangle began over a card
game and that Avelina, felled by
Lee Alexander with a chair, had
arisen and slashed Montgomery in
the stomach with q knife as he
dashed out of the building. Mont
gomerv died in the Brawley hospi-
tai two DAYS later.
The defense knows nothing about
the ease, was the stand taken from
the beginning of it's testimony.
Throughout the day of June > and
ON that night, the night on which
Montgomery was stabbed, Avelina
was present at labor camp some
distance away, the testimony indi-
Gated.
The witnesses called were espe-
cially sure of this because they had
helped to doctor Avelina on that
dav and night for stomach all
ment.
The states witnesses are just as
positive that it was Avelino who
did the stabhing. The jury will
have the job of deciding the issue.
II is believed that the case will
90 into the hands 0f the jury either
late tonight or early tomorrow. The
defense was about through calling
witnesses at noon recess and the
state inmimated that it would take
but little time in rebuttal.
Alfred Blaisdell and l.. j. Powers
appear as attorneys for the defend
ant while District Attorney Head
and G. h. Smith, chief deputy, are
in charge of the prosecution.
