BERLIN, N. j., April Ben
jamin Lewis, 46, a railroad crossing
Waterman, sacrificed his life for sin
persons and what he thought was
his duty at Pleasantville, near here.
George Bendinger of PleasantvilIe,
and his family of five, returning by
automobile from weekend at the
seashore, crashed through the gates
which Lewis had lowered for the
approach of the Pennsylvania rail-
roads express, No. 1854, from At
lantic City.
The motor stalled as the car
Straddled the rails down which the
express train was laundering.
Lewis seized a red lantern and
ran as fast as his rheumatic legs
could carry him to flag the express,
a feat he must have known was
futile.
After the express had shot over
the crossing, with brakes screeching
and shooting fire from the rail, it
was found that Bendinger and his
family had leaped to safety from
the car which had been completely
demolished. And Lewis was found
dying beside the track.
He died at a hospital without
knowing that the people in the
automobile we're safe.

AIMEE HOLDS
STAGE IN JUDGE
CUSTER TRIAL
Sensational New Charges
Are Predicted Against
Evangelist.
BY HOMER L. ROBERTS
united Press STAFF Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April g.
Aimee Semple Mcpherson and her
now famous surf o-sand' kid
mapping held the center of interest
today as the impeachment trial of
Judge Carlos S. Hardy of Los
Angeles opened before the state
senate.
Judge Hardy stood accused OF OBJ
structing justice in the inyestiga-
ton of Mrs. McPherson's kidnap-
ing story, accepting a $4,000 check
from her for legal services and at
tempting to intimidate Wallace
Moore, Santa Barbara newspaper
man, who thought he saw the
evangelist riding with Kenneth Or
mission during the time she was
missing from Los Angeles and
thousands of her church members
searched for her.
Predict Senatorial Charges
The board Of managers of the
house of representatives which acts
as prosecutor, has been active the
last two weeks rounding up evidence
about Mrs. McPherson'S disappear
ance and several of its members
have intimated that they would
spring new and sensational charges
concerning the red-haired eyange-
lists story of being kidnapped and
held prisoner by MexicanS in 1926.
To support the charge that Judge
Hardy attempted to hush up the
kidnapping investigation, the board
of managers has summoned more
than thirty witnesses and was pre-
pared to attack every phase of the
kidnapping.
Fastening to the defense of her
friend, Mrs. N1cPherSan WAS on the
way from Los Angeles to Sacra-
mento today. Although she had
been called as a state witness, Judge
Hardy ruled on her testimony and
that of her mother, Mrs. Minnie
Kennedy, as a part of his defense.
Aimee to Testify a
1t was considered likely the come
ly evangelist would be asked to re-
count again her kidnapping adven-
lures from the time she disappeared
from the beach at Venice until her
temperance from the Mexican des-
ert at Aqua Prieta.
Judge Hardy was defended by
State Senator Frank M. Carr of
Oakland, Ray E. Nimmo of Los An
geles and his son, Rex Hardy.
The judge has admitted accept
ing a check from Mrs. Mcpherson,
but contended that he violated no
constitutional provision.
The trial is expected to last three
weeks and a two thirds majority of
the senate is necessary to convict
Judge Hardy.

HOOVER URGES
BIG FUND FOR
FARM RELIEF
Wants Federal Board to
Have Plenty of Money
to Do Work.
BY PAUL Il. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON. April 8-Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover wants the pro-
posed federal farm board TO have
plenty of money and broad powers
to work out its own destiny, the
house and senate agriculture COM
mittees were informed today by
their leaders in touch with the
White House, as they went into ex-
ecutive session to write the farm
bill.
AS a result of this unofficial adj
vice from the White House it is
contemplated the committees may
povide more than $30O000,000 for
the revolving fund which the board
is to administer, and also that they
will clothe the board with sweep
ing authority in general terms.
rather than lay down any narrow
avenue to which it would be re-
StriCted
While Arthur Hyde secretary of
agriculture, has indicated he
thought $3OO0OO,O0O would be sum
cient, the leaders believe they
probably would be safer if they
provided $350,OOO.OOO or 100000 600.
1t has previously been the idea
of congressional authorities that the
board should be restricted to grant,
ing loans to cooperative market
ing associations, permitting them TO
build elevators and provide general
facilities for marketing their crops.
1t now is the general opinion the
legislation should leave the way
open for the board to provide any
other assistance within its discre-
ton which it might deem necessary
in any emergency.
