SWING CONDEMNS
smith STAND ON
RIVER PROBLEM

Following is a statement given
yesterday to the Press by Congress
man Phil d. Swing, condemning the
stand taken by Governor Smith,
Democratic candidate for president,
in his acceptance speech, as being
detrimental to the best interests of
Imperial Valley and the states con
cerned in the development of the
Colorado river.
q am greatly disappointed in
Governor Smith IS announced posi-
tion on the Boulder Dam problem.
His proposal is nothing short of
scrapping all the work that has been
done up to date, He definitely pro-
poses to withdraw the federal gov
ernment from the picture and turn
the entire problem back to the
seven Colorado river basin states.
Gle proposes a new seven state
treaty as the basis of any develop
ment on the Colorado river, ignoring
the fact that for five or six years
past the same states have been dead
locked and utterly unable to reach
any agreement upon this very same
subject.
With an ignorance of the pro
Ject which passes understanding, he
declares that the federal govern
ment S only interest is in the mat
ter of navigation. He thus denies
any and all hope of Imperial Valley
and the lower Colorado river basin
securing federal relief from their
flood menace, thus discriminating
between the treatment he is willing
to accord the Mississippi river and
that which he recommends of the
Colorado.
In view of Governor Smith s
position, there is only one thing for
the friends of the Boulder dam pro-
iect to do and that is to whole
heartedly support Herbert Hoover
for president. :

CHURCH PEACE
WITH MEXICO
Bishop Mora In Secret
Interview Hopes for
Changes In Law.
By G. F. FINE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
MEXICO city, Aug 23.-Peace
negotiations between the Catholl"
church and the Mexican government
soon will be resumed, Bishop Miguel
Maria de la Mora, secretary of the
subcommittee of the episcopate,
predicted in an interview made
public today.
The bishop, sought by police for
months, gave an interview to news
papermen in suburb. He had ar
ranged quietly for the meeting at a
secluded spot where he believed il
unlikely that police would detect
him.
De la Mora said the peace nego
tiations were ended temporarily by
the death of General Alvaro Obre
gon but that soon they would be re
sumed. He said Catholics were pre-
senting memorial to congress II
September asking Il change in the
laws and that there were great
hopes these changes would be madt
inasmuch as many new deputie'
would be in the congress.
Insists On Reform
He insisted that a reform con
stitution was necessary.
"The bishops neither discourag
Cd or encouraged the rebel move
ments,'' de la Mora said with re
gard to the revolutionary activities
The movement continues eX
clusively of the lay.
He estimated that since Angus
1926, at least 100 priests had been
killed.
None had a trial, - he said
s.They were simply taken from The
villages and executed. Since Ma!
of this year one priest was killed
in San Luis Potosi, three in Jalisco
two i'll Queretaro, and one in Guiana
jato If any of the clergy partiei
pated in the rebellion movement il
was ON private initiative. [ be
lieve the total thus participating
will not exceed u, the majority o.

Confessing to onl V one of the three
murders of which he is accused,
Percy Barnes. 80, named L. r. Ko-
burn, 28, railroad employe, as the

a partial confession to Captain Of
Police Ed Cox, today.
Barnes admitted Staying Charles
+. Curtis, a brother-in-law, and
wounding Clarence Muncy, Southern
Pacific employe, his ex-wife's fan
&c.
He blamed the killing OF Charles
Klein and Len Gcrrhart onto Ko-
burn.
koburn denied he was even with
Barnes last night. 1t was Koburn
who telephoned police of the kill
ing, Cox said.
koburn and I were sitting in
restaurant down on X street last
11lght, Barnes said in his confes-
Sion, "'when we decided to 90 ont
and see my former wife at her
home.

honked the horn and when she look
ed out, we asked her to send her
husband out to go for ride with
us
Len got in the ear and we
drove out to the fair grounds When
we got there Koburn said to Len
that he thought we had a flat tire.
When Len got out of the machine to
look, koburn shot and killed him
instantly. We left him there.
" He pulled the same stunt with
Klein. Got him to ride in the ear
and took him down the Freeport
| boulevard where he asked him to
get out and look for flat tire.
When Klein reported that there
was no flat tire, Koburn shot him
the same as he did Len Gerrhart.
About that time, Larkin came by
and Klein called out to him that he
! had been shot. When Larkin stop
ped kubourn jumped out, said some-
thing to him, and shot him. -
The confession was made to Cap
tains Cox and Brown after hours of
grilling in the offices of the police
