HOItville Youth
Crushed To Death

When Hackney Graham, 90, did
not return to his home in Holtville
last night after an all day hunting
trip, friends began to worry about
him and started a search which last
cd through the night. Early this
morning his body was found in a
ravine on the Boget ranch about
five miles south of Holtville, lying
under large quantity Of sand.
Rcscuers dug the body out of this
ditch but Graham was dead. A
large stone weighing some 12j
pounds was found on top of his head,
leading to the belief that he had
stepped down the bank of the ravine
to cross, slipped and started a slide
of the sand which brought the rock
down on his head. This stunned
him and he subsequently smothered
under the sand which covered him.
An inquest conducted this after
noon BY Deputy Coroner Cockley
returned a verdict of accidental
death.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow afternon at O'Clock in the
Methodist church at Holtville. with
Rev. Ingle officiating. Burial will

BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. (U.P)-
Another big business man demanded
repeal of the 18th amendment when
Pierre S. Dupont of the vast Dupont
interests testified before the house
judiciary committee today.
Starting the final dav of present
alton of the wet case, Dupont took
the position that prohibition had
failed even to curb, much less pre-
vent the use of alcohol.
excess in the use of alcohol is
the thing that concerns us" he said.
"rhc percentage of excuses always
had been small. Estimates in our
country have been as small as five
per cent of the total population.
81 have come to the conclusion
that the number may be smaller and
those for whom we have such great
solicitude are really only the hospit'
al patients"
Dupont, 60 year old chairman OF
the f. |. Dupont de Nemours Com
panv and former chairman of Gcucr
al Motors, is one of the leading anti
prohibitlonists among the country,
big business men.
Repeal of the Volstead oct alone
was opposed by Dupont. lie said
the United States was accustomed
to strong drink and had not beer
educated to light wines and beers
and therefore mo one will be salts

Whether it was some unknown's fear
of an attack ON the executive man
sion of Governor c. c. Young, or a
practical jokcr's idea of a good time
no one seems to know but 10 heav-
lily armed guards patrolled the res
idence of California's chief execu-
tive until an early hour today.
Shortly after mass meeting of
Tom Mooney sympathizers broke up
here last night, guards We're station
ed at the executive mansion where
one guard is usually on duty.
The state police were unable to
tell why they were there, merely,
cts orders"
Shortly after midnight Vincent
Kennedy, executive secretary to the
governor was notified of the guards
about the mansion and could ascer-
tam no more about the matter than
had newspapermen.
Mrs. Young denied that she had
requested the guards and Governor
Young was in Los Angeles.
After sending the guards home to
their warm beds. the night was very
chilly for California, Kennedy
swore he'd seek vengeance on the
perbutrator of the practical Joke or
whatever the calling out of the
guards amounts to.

RACE PROGRAM
AT COUNTY FAIR
GETS UNDER WAY

That noise heard about the valley
at l.30 this afternoon was not made
by the wind. nor was it the fore
warning of a few more earthquakes.
1t was the echo from several
thousand throats yelling "They're
OFF,, as the first race on the three
day racing card at the Imperial
County Fair got under way.
Cold weather and a brisk wind
failed to keep the dyedin-the-wool
fans away from the track. The rail-
birds were on the job and the grand
stand was headquarters for another
crowd anxious to see what Frank
Lathrop was going to do in the way
of making good on the program he
has promised.
A half dozen races, with a dozen
or more entries in each, was on the
card for today, with more to follow
tomorrow and Saturday.
Upwards of 60 horses and a dozen
jockeys from Aqua Caliente were
on deck for the opening and good
time was expected in the various
events. Horsemen who tried out the
track yesterday and, this morning
reported it to be in good shape and
declared it will be one of the best
in California when it gets worked
over little more.
Other attractions at the fair con-
tinued in full blast, although the
bangtails had the center of the stage
for this afternoons session.
The baby blimp "Volunteer", of
the Goodyear Rubber Company, de-
layed in reaching the fair, is booked
to arrive tomorrow and will remain
for the balance of the week. Sew
eral local citizens have been invited
to take a ride in it, and will get an
opportunity to view the valley from
on high.
Tomorrow will be "Northend
Day" at the fair, and large delega-
tions from Brawley. Calipatria, Nj
land and Westmorland are expect
ed to view the various exhibits and
take part in the entertainment pro-
vided by Crafts shows and other at
