years, such as threatens the New
York Unemployed Delegation, are
matched i'll many other sections of
the country. Deportation is a big
menace to many foreign born work
ers who took part in the struggle
against starvation.
Speedy railroading took place in
Buffalo, Waterbury, Milwaukee, the
Socialist" city. In the South, heavy
sentences face George Powers and
Joe Carr, charged with Throwing a
tear gas bomb" into the midst Of
the crowd of workers they were adj
dressing. They are under $500 bail
oeach.
II Dewey Martin, Southern organizer
liof the National Textile Workers
Union, was sentenced to seven
months in the chain-gang, framed
on worthless check" charge. This
is actually death sentence against
him, and is the method in the South
of the employers in fighting work
erS.
Even Charge Lunacy.
Lunacy charges against Amy
Schechter and Mann act charges
against the Negro worker Gil Lewis
have been framed in Chattar ooga
where seven were arrested March G..
In Boston, George Dougherty, Ma
rinc Workers organizer, has been
framed on murder charge because
he helped on picket line in the
needle trade workers strike.
In Buffalo, Ruth Williams has al
ready been sentenced to six months
prisosn and $50 fine. Three other
workers got 100 days and two
others $50 days Imprisonment. A
jury trial was refused by the Judge
lland the International Labor Defense
lhppealed the cases.
II Worst in Socialist Milwaukee.
In Milwaukee, the Socialist" city,
five workers will get one year in
prison each, for taking part in the
fight against starvation, unless
mass protest halts the bosses. The
district attorney is bowling to send
the workers up for that long stretch
and he is getting plenty of support
from Socialist officialdom. Six
have already been sentenced To six
months and Is to three months.
They are out on appeal by the Inter-
national Labor Defense.
Deportation endangers every for
eign born worker, and the authorities
have gone so far in their frenzy as
to demand exile for a 16 year old
boy, Harry Eisman, in New York,
for taking part in the New York
demonstrations.
Never Before.
, In Chicago 40 workers come to
trial within the next two weeks on
arrests before March 6. The dis
trict office of the ]. l.. D. here was
raided by detective squads every
day, sometimes three times day
before the Unemployed Demonstra-
ton. Many of the two hun bred
workers arrested February goth, go
up for jury trial March 81.
Funds Great Need.
The burden placed on the defense
organization, the |. L. D., is greatest
in its history. Funds is one Of the
greatest necessities, IL not foremost
today. They should be rushed at
once to the national office of the I.
L. D., at so East 18th Street, Room
ago, New York.

FORMER BUILDING
And LOAN Head
RLAMES STATE

LOS ANGELES. Dec. %. Up
The inadequate organization Of the
state building and loan department
was held indirectly responsible to-
day for the failure Of the Guaran-
" Building and Loan association
under defalcations totaling s8,000,-
600.
The indirect accusation came
from George Walker. former puild-
ing and loan commissioner, when
he was called before the grand jury
in its investigation Of how Gilbert
H. Beesemyer, general manager of
Guaranty, managed TO carry on his
thefts without detection over a
tive year period
a prepared statement. which
Walker presented to the grand jury
and which later was made public,
outlined that until 1927 two men
attempted TO supervise the activ-
tiles of all the building and loan
organizations in the state.
Walker. who served for Is years
as building and loan commissioner,
said that during his entire tenure
of office he was handicapped by
lack Of sufficient examiners and
investigators to watch the 202
building and loan companies in
California.

The Big Trail
Splendid Film

Telling an interesting and thrill
ing story in a realistic manner.
The Big Trail was enjoyed by
two large audiences at Fox Imper-
ial Theatre last night and il is a
certainty that not even the Christ
mas holiday shopping rush can
keen many others from seeing it
tonight and Wednesday night.
The Big Trail takes the same
theme as the immortal Covered
Wagon" depicting the emigration
Of wagon train from the Missouri
river to the Oregon country.
The hardshipS endured by the
pioneers cover every range from
heat and cold. thirst, storms. In
dian attacks, rebellion within the
ranks. murder and mutiny
Not all the picture is tragedy or
for there is much comedy
and a beautiful romance which
travels its rocky road to success the
same as the train of which it is
part.
The Big Trail" is one of the
films of the year. 1t
has terrific appeal to those who
have any conception at all of the
oebt we of this generation owe TO
those who came before us.

SPEAKERS STATE
INDIA ENTITLED
TO SELF RULE

More than 25U persons attend
cd the meeting at the Wilson school
last night which was sponsored by
the Hindu association and at which
several prominent speakers were
hear0
Rev. Robert Whitaker told of
"India'S Contribution to Civiliza-
tion," and that that the wealth
and civilization of India attract
cd the explorers who accidentally
discovered the new world while
searching for a short route to the
old.
In discussing "India's Right to
Independence" Anoop Singh Dhil-
Ion, graduate of the University of
Kansas, said the nation governed
itself very creditably before Eng
land stepped in. India has suffer-
ed greatly on account of British
m:srule on account of the stupidity
of officials and an inability to un-
derStand the native viewpoint.
"Ghandi-The Man and His Mes
sage" was the subject of an insplr-
ing address by Dalip Singh Saund
Ph. D. Ghandi is beloved through
cut India and his passive resistance
plan is meeting with greater sue
cess than England will admit. HIS
stand on the "untouchable" situa-
ton is doing a great deal to relieve
the feeling among the ignorant and
is believed in time will eliminate the
caste system, he said.
Mayor H. w. Fawcett presided.

SHE IS CAUSE
OF EXCITEMENT
IN JAIL TANK

A miniature riot in the center
tank at the jail last night sent depu-
ty sheriffs hurrying there to inves-
tigate. fearing that the prisoners
might be staging some sort of a dis
turbance on general principles.
The deputies made a startling dis
covery. Hair caused the excess
noise. 1t was a mans hair, but 1t
locked more like a woman's, and the
prisoners found that fact very en-
tertaining.
When Earl Steed, 10, was booked
at the county Jail yesterday on a
charge of grand theft in Los Angeles
county. he kept his cap on. Even
when lodged in the center tank he
continued to wear his cap.
Some enterprislng prisoner in the
tank removed the cap from Steeds
head, and was startled to see the
hair fall almost TO his waist in beau
tiful brown waves. 1t was then that
the deputies rushed to the tank on
hearing the disturbance.
Steed is a female impersonator
and wears his crowning glory be-
cause he needs it in his business.
He has been in the Los Angeles Jail
and will probably be again, tor a
deputy from there is expected here
soon to remove him to Los Angeles
county to stand trial on charge
Of grand theft.

engaged in heated argument.

Confidence Men
Work Game Here

For the second time in Two weeks
a pair of confidence men using the
local bus station as their hunting
grounds this morning dupcd a stage
passenger into handing over to them
$l5 in bills, and promptly disap-
peared with the money.
Just after the arrival OF the
stage at o'clock the pair appeared.
One OF them accosted a passenger
of the stage, engaged him in conVer-
sation, and suggested that they
match coins. The second member OF
the confidence team appeared, and
an argument started as to the
amount owed by the passenger to
the two.
Taking $25 from his pocket, the
passenger, who would not give ms
name when questioned today told
the two that was all he had. One
of the men Snatched the $25 and
made off, the victim told police.
The pair is thought to be the
same that worked a SIMILAR scheme
on another stage passenger recently.

cred the outstanding rebel. 1t was
specifically stated to the United
Press by substantial leaders that no
challenge was to be made on Sena-

But all Republican leaders are not
viewing the Lucas-Norris incident
complacently. There is large
number which considers Lucas ac-
ton as likely to cause more trouble
than it will cure.
Lucas bitter opposition to Norris
was explained by an informed Re

prompted largely by the Republican

New Senator

MONTPELIER. VT, Dec. %. W.P
Frank c. Partridge, president of
the Vermont Marble company, was
appointed by Gov John E. Weeks
today to fill the temporary vacancy
caused by the recent ceath Of
United States Senator Frank Les

Partridge. like the man he sue
ceeds is a Republican.
The late Senator Greene died in
ST. Adams hospital after an op-
Grafton for hernia last week.
How long Partridge will hold the
seat to which he was named to-
day is problematical. Under Ver-
monts state laws, if senatorial
vacancy occurs more than six
months prior to the next regular
general election, a special election
must be held to choose a success
or.
The unexpired term of the late
senator's office is four years, and
two years remain before the next
general election, scheduled for
