HOOVER TO JOIN
IN PARLEYS ON
DIXIE SITUATION
Tennessee Leader to Be
Main Conferee on
Patronage.
BY JOHN Nj. GLEISSNER,
Times star Correspondent

MIAMI BEACH, Jan 28.-Presi-
dent-Elect Hoover will give atten-
ton to Southern politics and pat
ronage this wek.
Horace A. Mann of Tennessee,
who maintained offices in Washing
ton during the campaign and had
the title of southern manager, said
he expects to confer with Hoover
today.
Mann has taken a suite in hotel
not far from the Penney estate,
where Hoover is living, and said ne
has been holding numerous con-
ferences with southern leaders.
Mann also has had several discus
sions with Chairman Work of the
Republican national committee.
just what part Mann will have
in reorganizing the party in the
south along the lines Hoover con-
templates, has not been revealed,
nor is it known whether Mann is
here at Hoover's invitation.
May Take Leading Role
Persons who talked with the Ten
nesseean got the impression that he
intends to take a leading role in
political activities affecting the
south. He has not been considered
as close TO DR.. Work, but their con-
ferences were regarded as Signifl-
cant.
It was thought likely that Hoo
yer may have brought both Mann
and Work to Florida to act as buff
eTs for him. The fact that Work
resides at a hotel instead of at the
Penney estate bears out his opinion.
Also, Work remained behind when
Hoover and the other members of
his party went fishing.
Iann's activities were the cause
of much speculation during the
campaign. He maintained separate
headquarters in Washington and
the campaign was well along before
his connection with it generally was
known.
Called KIan Link
He was accused by a New York
newspaper of being liaison officer
between the Ku-Klux Klan and the
Republican national committee and
of aiding in the circulation of anti
Smith propaganda in the south.
Mann denied tle charges, as did
other national c ommittee officials.
Mann was no. prominent in Re-
publican councils before Hoover was
nominated, and his sudden emerg-
ence caused much discussion. If he
assumes leadership in the south, it
will mean that he will take preced-
ence over G. Bascom Slemp of Vir-
ginia, Representative j. Will Taylor
of Tennessee. r. B. Creager of
Texas and other stalwarts of previ-
GUS years.
Taylor and Mann are at odds, as
are Mann and Robert r. Church of
Memphis, well-known Republican
leader.

Cryer. Satisfied
In Shuler Case

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10. (U.I)--
The fact that the Rev. r. p. "Bob"
Shuler, is free and will not be re-
tried on a charge of criminally Ii
beling George f. Cryer, causes the
former mayor no disappointment he
said today.

l am concerned personally / am sat
isfied with the outcome of the case.
But I think it is nevertheless, sad
commentary on the laws that govern

The second count against Shuler
was dismissed yesterday by Muniei-

ton made by Clair Ebcrhardt anG

ARIZONA REFUSES
TO ALTER PLANS
FOR FILING. SUIT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 10. UP
After deciding not to alter their
stand on the Boulder dam question
at special meeting late yesterday,
the Arizona Colorado river commits
sion today continued with plans to

ernor John G.. Phillips of Arizona
expressing regret at the contemplat-
ed action and asking that Arizona
make another attempt at an agree

2ona commission, said nothing had
been found in the message to justi-
fly Arizona in changing its plans.
Ward declared the suit will prob.
ably be filed in Washington before

STATES ASSERT
PROPOSED Line
SHOULD BE BUILT
Uphold Great NOrthern's
Request For Branch To
Keddie, Calf.
BY GEORGE D. CR1SSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10. UP)
A unified appeal by three Pacific
coast states for increased railroad
facilities between California and
the Pacific northwest was made to.
day to an interstate commerce COM
mission hearing.
Representatives of Oregon, Wash
ington and California told the hear
ing that the Great Northern and
Western Pacific should be permitted
to build a 200 mile connecting line
from Klamath Falls, Ore, to Keddie,
Calf, because, they said, freer
movement of freight between the
three states, providing wider range
of markets, would result.
c. +. Lonergan, ch eff of traffic
for the Washington department of
public works, explained that South
ern Pacific lines must be used to
transport produce from Washington
to California even though there are
no Southern Pacific lines in Wash
;ngton.
Loncrgan said that the sympath-
ctic attitude of the railroad system
extending from v ashington to San
Francisco would mean increased
prosperity for his state.
Ben Dey, Southern Pacific attor.
ney at Portland, Ore, conducted to.
days cross-examih alton in a detailed
and searching manner. He iEtimat-
ed and it was generally agreed, that
through freight rates via existing
lines would result in approximately
tie same advantage rs would con-
struet;on of the proposed route.
The severe ccmp. i.liD of steam
ship lines carrying freight between
Pacific coast ports was stressed by
ney in his DISCRIMINATION and all
witnesses admitted that movement
of freight by water took care Of g
vast part of the interchang1 of goods
between the three coast states.
Frank X. Baker, member OF the
Washington department of public
works, appeared in support for Lon
geran. He too claimed there would
be an advantage if Washington had
direct route over one system of
railroads to California, Lut Dcy oh.

ton that creation of through rates
would be much the same so FAR as
shipment of freight was concerned.

EARTHQUAKEON
EASTERN COAST
BEING STUDIED

BOSTON, Nov. 49, U.P -Prelimi-
nary study of seismographic records
by scientists indicated today that
Il strong earthquake which shook
the northeastern part of the United
States and eastern Canada yester-
day had its center either in fault
in the ocean bed just off the New
England coast or in the valley ct
the st. Lawrence.
The disturbance caused high build
angs and towers to sway as much
rs three feet, broke innumerable
dishes and windows and sent resi-
dent sof many cities scurrying into
tine streets in alarm. Women work
ing in offices in tall buildings here
and in Augusta, Me-, were reported
to have become i'll of dizzincs,
caused by the undulations of the
structures. Others tainted with
fear.
Professor Kirtley F. Mather of
Harvard university, where radio
towers swayed in an are of three
feet, expressed opinion that tn,
earthquake was the result of shift
ing of the earth crust somewhere
along the "Dundian Fault" This
fault runs southwestward under the
ocean from the Bay of Fundy, be-
tween Nova Scotia and New Bruins
wick, to Cape Ann, just north Of
here.
Bearing out this theory, United
Press dispatches from st. JOINTS,
New Foundland, told of small
tidal wave accompanying the shock.
On the island itself, many fami-
les fled in panic and frightened
cattle raced through the fields bawl-
ing their terror. Telegraph and
cable service was temporarily af-
fccted.
Reports from Nova Scotia de-
scribed the quake as the most severe
in that islands history.

CITY LACCINC

RED CROSS FUND

Returns from the first day of the
Red Cross roll call indicate that this
city is tagging behind and must
show considerable squirting if the
quota Of 81 500 is to be reached dur

The total amount received on the
first day was less than $l00-con-
siderably less, if the truth must be
told, which is rather disheartening to
the committee in charge.
Practically all of the money came
in as the result of the efforts of the
Woman's Ten Thousand club, which
is maintaining booths in the business
section of the city. Canvassing of
the business ditrict has not been
started as yet, the various service
clubs now being at work on commit
tees to take over this task.

start Thursday, certainly not later
than Friday, and we hope to clean
it up in one day." said Russell j.

mittee in charge of the campaign.
District assigned to the clubs are:
Junior chamber of commerce, west
from Eighth street to city limits

Wreck Suspects
Granted Release

After several hours of questioning
by deputies from the Los Angeles
sheriff's office yesterday, the two
suspects held here for investigation
in connection with the robbery Of
the wrecked west coast limited
passenger train near Saugus week
ago Sunday night, were released.
{. +. Lester, teamster, whose de.
scription fitted that of the bandit
who committed the robbery, was
firm in his denial of any compli
city in the deed. lie was cool
customer and although he apparent
ly contradictcd some of his former
statements as to his whereabouts on
the night of the holdup, he was able
to present an alibi which held water.
Wade, the 10 year old boy who
had been associated with Lester
during the past two months, was a
harder subject for the investigators
to handle as he was evidently very
frightened hombrc and possessed a
convenient memory-one which FOR
got things when it would have been
better to remember.
The investigators were apparent
ly satisfied that Lester had not left
this city over the week end in
question and that his claim to have
eaten several meals in Fifth street
cafe on the Sunday of the robbery
and the following morning, was true.

only diversion to tape watchers to-

session. Even the odd lot quotations
usually held to the end of the day
were carried.
Steel met small amount of pres

it down to l60. From that point
where resistance was like stone
