Watson Ready To
Fight Jones For
Lead In Senate,
By PAUL r. MALLON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Senator
Wesley Jones who was in Washing
ton state reading press dispatches
about arrangements to make hin!
senate leader returned to tho capitol
to find Senator James f. Watson
of Indiana attempting Il little coup
for the place.
Ascertaining the situation, Jones
thereupOn announced his formal
candidacy, and merry political con
test now is being waged among
senators assembling for the open
ing of congress Monday.
Watson beat Jones to town by
three days. He came with an an
nounccmcnt that he understood no
election for floor leader would be
necessary when Vice President elect
Charles +. Curtis resigns. lie under
stood the assistant leader would
automatically assume the post
Watson himself being the assistag~
leader.
Jones is whip of the senate, one
peg below Watson, but he outrankS
the lndianian in seniority. The SEN
ate has always Followed the rule
of seniority succession, except when
majority finds It more conven-
tent in its purposes to overthrow
the Iulc.
Most of the original supporters
of Prcsidcnt-elect Hoover are en-
cour2ging the Jones candidacy, re-
membering the opposition Watson
led against Hoover in the primary
campaign last spring.
Jones supported Hoover from the
first and has been identified with
the wing of the party which has not
always teamed in with "the old
guard.
Curtis is keeping out of the af
far. lie is planning to quit his
post early in January.

by United Press 1.eased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.-Gordon
s. Northcott, accused of the murder
of four Southern California youths
and about to 90 to trial here for
one of the slayings, prefers Cana
dian customs and institutions.
He feels that law, peace Officers
.iails and public curiosity as found
in the United States are "rathc,
vulgar, he said today as he oc
cupicd the county jail cell which
once housed William Edward Hick-
man.
"ThcTe is such Il tremendous diff
ference, YOU KNOW he said. In
Canada n defendant is considered
innocent until found guilty. Here
one is guilty before trial and the
newspapers seem to conduct the
proceedings.
cone has no sense of security in
an American Jail. In Canada | was

to swarm through the building. The
pcacc officers here, too-thcy
question one so.
Really, its disgraccful the fuss
and publicity attending trial in
the States. Why | can't turn around
but what a photographer takes my
picturc.'
The youth, who allcgedly conduct
ed Il murder farm on which he
abused boys and then killed them,
does not look like Il hardened slay-
or.
Northcott is killer, no doubt, -
Deputy Sheriff Bill Bringt, who
helped bring him here from Canada,
said "but hanged if he docsn t
look and act more like female
impcrsonator.
The asserted slayer talks with a
lisp and sometimes in n high pitched
soprano voice, has an exaggerated
manner of pronouncing such words
rs shocking and prepostcrouS
and on occasions rests his hand on
his hip in the best mannequin style.
IL" will be held in county jail
here until December 3 when he will
appear to plead to the Staying of
an unidentified Mexican.
He will be tried in this county
first and then removed to River
side where he has been charged with
the aX murders of Walter Collins,
9, and Lewis and Nelson Winslow
10 and 9.
\ fcud which appeared to be de-
vcloping between Los Angeles and
Riverside officials over the custody
and prosecution of Northcott wa,
settled when District Attorney Ford
of Riverside said no attempt would
hc made to prevent his trial in Los
Angeles county first.
