chair for the murder of Corporal
Brady Paul, state highway police-

The date of their execution will be

Pleas for new trial we're based

DROUGHT AREA
GOVERNORS TO
MEET HOOVER
President Directs Relief for
Farmers From Rapidan
Camp.
HOPES FOR RAIN SLIGHT
Red Cross, U. S. Agencies
Ordered to Act in Any
Emergency Case.
BY CECIL OWEN


WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Presi-
dent Hoover was directing from his
Rapidan camp in Virginia today
another of the major relief tasks
which have signalized his public
career.
Before leaving Friday for his
weekend retreat after Sunmoning
the Governors IF g dozen drought
stricken states to confer here with
him next week, the President
ordered the White House Office staff
to remain on duty so he could be
in constant touch with the situa-
ton.
Mr.. Hoover also is keeping in
close communication with Secre-
tary of Agriculture Hyde and fed
eral farm board members.
Executives of the states most
seriously affected by the damaging
drought of the last six weeks are
to come here Thursday to discuss
with the President and his advisers
the methods to be employed in as
sisting farmers whose feed crops
virtually have been destroyed.
Survey Is Under Way
Organization of relief agencies in
the states to supply feed for live
stock and TO help farm families
whose incomes have vanished under
the suns merciless rays, will bt
taken up by Mr.. Hoover with the
Governors.
Meanwhile, with no hopes fol
early general rains held out by the
weather bureau, the farm board anc
four other governmental agencie!
proceeded with relief plans already
initiated.
Reduction in hay rates by rail-
roads are to be approved by the
interstate commerce commission
the army has made available its
services for hauling water; a sur
vey of the drought damage is un-
der way by the agriculture depart
ment. and the farm loan board anC
farm board are planning extension
of ample credits to farm communi-
ties.
The American Red Cross also has
been ordered by Mr.. Hoover to stanc
by to assist in any possible emer'
gency involving human suffering.
Confers With Chairman
The President conferred with
Ernest P. BicknelI, acting chairman
of the relief organization, before
leaving here for his mountain re-
treat.
In issuing the call for the Gov
errors conference, Mr.. Hoover said
organization of relief agencies first
must be undertaken by the states
and then the counties, with which
federal farm agencies can CO.
operate.
More than 100000 farm families
possessing 2,25o,OOO horses and
mules, 100000 cattle, and 12,000,-
600 hogs and sheep, live in the
"acutely affected area" the PreSi-
dent said.
This is about II per cent of the
nations farm animals. Owing tc
sharp curtailment of feed crops, new
supplies must be provided to carry
this stock through the winter.
Talk of famine is unwarranted
the President said in making public
preliminary survey. This showed
the drought mainly has affected
animal feed, while the bulk of the
human food supply is "abundantly
in hand"

arrested on charges of being two Of
three Negroes who held up and
killed Claude Deeter, Paramount
youth, and criminally attacking his
sweetheart, Miss Barry Ball, 10, Of
Marion, on a country road.

Herbert Cameron, Is, Negro, the
third prisoner under arrest in the
attack, IVES spirited away from the
jail here after his life was saved by
ruse. Sheriff Campbell convinced
the mob Cameron was not the third
man accused in the crime, after
Cameron had been dragged from his
cell.
White citizens of Marion have
been Directing openly for months to
leniency which they claim has been
extended to Negroes accused OF
crimes. They contend officials are
soliciting support in "Johnstown."
No action against any of the mob
leaders is expected until the grand
jury convenes in September.

Weather forecasts and the fruit
frost service we're the subjects OF
The two main SPEAKERS at the Fl
CcurO Chambor OF Commerce
luncheon held yesterday noon. Fred
A. Baughman. observer in charge
of the fruit frost service in Imperial
Valley, told of the work of the U. 5
weather bureau, established 40 years
ago, in forecasts, flood warnings and
fruit frost lines until at the present
time ESQ stations have been eStab-
lished throughout the United States
Carada and Cuba which telegraph
reports to central stations obtained
through observations in the indivld-
ual localities taken twice day.
The local station, according to
Baughman, receives so telegraphlc
messages daily reporting the wealth
er elements in various localities and
these reports are plotted locally and
a forecast of the local weather out
look is made from this plot by the
local observer, based largely on the
atmospheric pressure reported in the
messages. Where records have been
kept, mathematical formula is
worked out which is of great assist
ance in making forecasts, the speak
er stated but Imperial Valley has
no such records at the present time
Recording minimum temperatures
by means of thermometers and ther-
mographs is the main object before
the local observer this year. accord
ing to the speaker, but it is planned
next year to experiment in methods
Of protecting vegetables from frost
by means of heaters and as time
goes OH, the fruit frost service will
be extended and by means of records
become more and more valuable to
the fruit and vegetable growers OF
this section.
Floyd Young, meteOrologiSt from
Pomona, gave a short history OF
the weather bureau StreSSing the
increase in accuracy made possible
ships on the Pacific Ocean, where
since radio reports are received from
most storms arise. Telling OF the
fruit frost service, Young stated that
smudges were first used under the
belief that smoke reduced frost
danger. According to the speaker
this is not the case, and smudging
has been superseded by orchard
heating, which Will raise tempera-
lures as much as y degrees if prop
erly used and thus eliminate frost
entirely in Southern California
Other methods which have been
tested by the weather bureau are
wind TANNERS or propellerS to Gre
ate wind, electric heating. use OF
running water covering, overhead
sprinklers and central heating; but
none of these, Young stated, are
as effective or satisfactory as Or
chard heating and 80 per cent OF
the farms around Pomona are SO
equipped.
The service around Pomona
where it was established in 1917, is
invaluable in its forecast work, to
marketing agencies and in deter
mining areas where there is not
enough frost to warrant orchard
heating, Young stated. He also re-
marked that the efficiency of fruit
frost service ha6 been greatly
heightened by Use of radios III
