WEBSTER TO Be
CHIEF WITNESS
IN GRIMES CASE

LOS ANGELES, March %. U,P)-
The first evidence against eight per
sons accused OF conspiring to bring
about the arrest of City Councilman
Carl |. jacobson on a morals charge
two years ago will be introduced
when the trial resumes Monday.
Under present plans, Rodney Web
ster, then police commissioners, will
be the first witness called by the
prosecution in the attempt to show
that Mrs. Callic Grimes, Albert Mar
co, vice lord. c. II. Crawford, poll
tician. and five police officers took
part in a diabolical plot' to ruin
jacobson.
After jacobson was arrested in a
bedroom in Mrs. Grimes home, the
raiding Officers attempted to take
him before Webster
ON not let YOU in my house with
your dirty police tricks Webster
was quoted yesterday by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Dcnnison as having
said at that time.
Dennison in outlining the state
plans said he would prove that the
entire arrest was frame-up, -
that jacobson would have been
doped if he had accepted a drink
offered by Mrs. Grimes and that
Mrs Grimes went to county jail to
receive payment from Marco for her
part in the conspiracy.
Marco now is held under sentence
for assault with intent to murder.
In an affidavit sworn several
months ago, Mrs. Grimes claimed
she was paid for her part in Turing
jacobson into compromising posi-
tion.
jacobson was tried on a charge of
resorting which ultimately was dis
missed when a jury failed to agree.
Police officers who took part in the
raid and who now are on trial said
he was clothed only in his underwear
when he was taken into custody.

LOS ANGELES, March 23.-Thc
best minds of agriculture have for
many years been attempting to solve
the troubles that seem to besct those
engaged in agriculture. There has
been more or less idle talk-yct the
fact that agriculture is in need of
relief is a matter beyond question.
The editor of a western newspaper
comes forth with the thought that
the key to the puzzle is likely to be
found so simple that il would have
come long ago if we had not lost
ourselves in the woods trying to find
a tree He then goes on to point out
that agriculture as a whole has
never been satisfactory unless the
live stock business was profitable,
and that the present tendency to-
wards agricultural recovery was not
noticeable until values of live stock
had reached higher levels.
As matter of fact, western agri-
culture and western business de-
pends to Il great extent Gn the pros
perity of the live stock business.
Live stock has always been and
probably always will be the best
means of marketing our grain and
forage crops and without that
means of transportation and market
ing, the farmer must resort to artifi-
cial methods of disposition of his
crops, resulting, in the end, in a
substantial decrease in his income
hence, in his purchasing power. An
important feature in this connec-
tion lies in the fact that off grade
hay and grain may be utilized to
the best advantage when fed 10
live stock whereas if sold on the
market, material reduction would
be made in the price. Even the cot
ton farmer depends, to 4 great ex-
tent, upon the stockman, because
cottonsecd cake and meal constitute
important live stock feeds and these
bv-products have much to do with
making cotton production profitable.
We can 90 on almost without end,
pointing out the connection between
live stock and profitable crop pro
duction either as the most available
means of maintaining soil fertility
or the best way to market our crops.
Then, too, scarcity of live stock
is likely to encourage the use of
land for agricultural crops coming
in direct competition with land al
ready devoted to that purpose, and
producing enough to meet AL prac-
teal needs. In many eases, the land
is not suited to anything but pas
ture with the result that it pro
duces a low grade product sold,

Fear Boy Scouts
We're Drowned In
Swollen Stream

ROCKWOOD, Tenn, March %,
UP)-Twenty-eight members of a
Boy Scout troop were swept away
on the roof of their bungalow when
sudden rise in White creek flood
ed the summer resort of Tarwater,
six miles south Of here today.
The boys had taken refuge on the
roof when the water began 20 rise.
Crowds on the bank of the river,
including mothers and fathers OF
the boys, could hear their cries, but
were unable to find boats to help
them.
Boats were later brought over
land from the Tennessee river, re-
ports said, and rescue work was

Although definite news was lack
ing as to the fate Of the boys, 1t is
believed most of them caught onto
trees along the creek.
The rescue work is being directed
by j. II. Booth, chief of the Rock
wood fire department, Scout Execu-
tive J. G. Acuff and Captain Robert
Thompson.
Besides the Boy Scouts, so others
are believed to have been in houses
which were swept away along
White creek.
The creek is usually about 20 feet
wide, but today it is an eighth Of
mile wide and has waves. The water
began TO reccde later in the day.
