TECUMSEH, Okla, July 6. U.P)
Criminal action against one OF
four "dry' agents, who killed
Oscar Lowery and James Harris in
a raid on farm house near here
Thursday, was spurred today by
numerous resolutions condemning
that action of the raiders.
The Oklahoma City American
Legion Post and groups of TecumSeh
citizens and farmers refused to ac-
cept the statements of the prohi-
bition agents that the shoOtings
were committed in self defense and
passed resolutions upholding the
slain men as innocent of prohibl-
tion violation and condemning the
killings as "unjust.'
The four members of the raiding
party, were w. w. Thomason, vet

GIRLS SLAYER
SENTENCED TO
BE- EXECUTED

UKIAH, Calf, July UP) -
Thomas Lehew, Mendocino county
woodsman, was sentenced today to
be hanged at San Quentin prison
Friday, September Is, for the MUIR
der of Theresa johnson, 7, daughter
of a neighbor.
Lehew was without emotion when
Superior Judge Hugh l.. Preston
pronounced the death sentence, but
appeared to have aged 10 years since
conviction last week. He is 80
years of age.
No appeal was taken, and Lehew
will be taken to the penitentiary at
once.
The crime for which the wood
chopper was convicted was one of
the most inhuman and brutal ever
to occur in Mendocino county.
Little Theresa was found lying
across a log after an all night
search-a search started when the
child failed to return from school.
She had been criminally assaulted
and then choked to death. There
was little evidence to point to the
identity of her murderer.

in prosecuting any crime committed.

TEACHERS NOT
TO Be DROPPED
FOR MARRYING

SACRAMENTO, July 6. UP)--
California teachers who marry
while holding positions in public
schools cannot be forced to resign
because of their trip to the altar
regardless of local school board
rulings.
In vigorously worded decisiol
the appellate court has settled a
controversy which has ragged at one
time and another in nearly every
school district in the state.
The opinion sustained the judy-
ment of the San Joaquin superior
court, which in 1928 issued a writ
of mandate against the Stockton
city board of education.
Mrs. Ruth Dutart, Stockton
elementary school teacher, obtained
the writ, ordering the board to re-
inState her as an instructor. She
had married prior to the 1928 school
year and the board demanded her
resignation, which she refused to
tender.
The board then ordered Mrs.
Dutart to act as teacher in a pre-.
tubereular school so miles from
Stockton. She refused and sued the
board in superior court, demanding
a position in the city. The board
appealed the decision rendered in
her favor by the superior court.
Marriage is not legal ground
for the forfeiture of ones status
as a permanent teacher,' the ap-
pellate court decision said. Sand
we are inclined to think that the
law precludes a school board from
assigning a teacher outside of its
district -
The court declared that the
Stockton school board had attempt
ed to oust Mrs. Dutart from her
position "by circuitous methods
which the law does not directly
permit.

John u. Rockefeller may celebrate
his Goth birthday without having
trains obstruct his view of his
Pocantigo. Hills estate.
For years Rockefeller and later
his son, John ID. Rockefeller Jr
sought to have the railroad move
its tracks so that instead of cross

cut corner several miles from
the house.
Recently the son succeeded, at q
great monetary cost. The work of

attended the little union chapel on

DAVIS TO MAKE
STAND in OWN
BEHALF MONDAY

LOS ANGELES, July 6. W.H-
Harold l.. "Buddy' Davis, former
chief deputy district attorney under
Asa Keyes, will take the witness
stand in his own defense Monday
when his trial on a charge of ac'
cepting a $500 bribe is resumed
after a weekend recess.
This announcement was made 10
day as Paul D'Orr and other de.
Tense attorneys were revising their
case to meet circumstances arising
from Judge Emmett Wilson's re-
fusal to allow testimony regarding
the alleged relations between
Estelle johnson, attractive blonde,
and Ben Getzoff, star witness for
the state.
Judge Wilson ruled that efforts
of the defense to prove Getzoff
spent money on gifts for Miss John
son were incompetent, irrevelent
and immaterial' as far as the
charge that Davis accepted bribe
from Getzoff to cease up" on
Julian Petroleum prosecutions was
concerned.
Mrs. Lucille Davis, wife of the
defendant, was called to testify in
her husbands behalf late yester'
day after the state had rested its
case.
Mrs. Davis denied Getzoff ever
brought gifts to their home, but
admitted she went automobile rid
ing with the tailor, her husband
and Mr.. and Mrs. Keyes and that
Getzoff pointed out some property
he owned.
Getzoff offered to finance a
home for Davis, but the offer was
refused. Mrs. Davis said.

Trains Must
Run On Time

SACRAMENTO, July 6.U.P)-
Everyone has thought Of reasons
why railroad companies should
run their trains on time-but the
appellate court here has discover
ed the one which will probably
receive most attention from the
companies.
In decision given yesterday
the court upheld judgment OBJ
tanned by man who claimed that
he was injured in crossing acci-
dent because the train was late.
r. A. Hoffman, living near
Merced, said that if the train had
been on time he would not have
been hit, sinces he was familiar
with the schedules and would
J have known that a train was
due. But when he started to
cross the tracks 25 minutes after
the train ordinarily went LS and
found it rushing down on him
he was surprised, to say the
east.
The court thought Hoffman
had an excellent argument, so the
railroad company must pay the
damages.

today and then repelled firemen
and police with bricks and clubs
allowing the street cars to be con-

While firemen and police were at
tempting to approach the fire at
the Canal Street barn, stick Of
dynamite was hurled into the P0-

ever.
Police attempted to disperse the
crowd with tear bombs, but were
unsucC essful.
Burning of the cars followed
night of rioting in which desperate
efforts were made to reach strike
breakers entrenched in the Canal

The strikebreakers were lined up
with revolvers ready to shoot.
