GOVERNOR
REQUESTS
HARMONY
Urges Factions to Present
United Front on River
Problems
MUST BE SOLVE ED
Cannot Hope for Success
At Washington if Split
In State Continues

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.-U.P-
Governor C. C. Young today urged
that California interests unite to
rresent "soFid front" in the
states negotiations with five 9TH
er western states over the ALLEGATION
of water from the proposed Boulder
Dam ON the Colorado river.
"We must have united Califor-
nia," Governor Young said as rep
resentatives of the metropolitan
water district and agricultural in
terests of Southern California met
in conference here. "We cannot go
to Washington as a house divided
against itself.'
Governor Young summarized the
problems confronting California as
follows:
Solution of differences between
the various sections of the state over
the division Of water allocated to
Califrnia.
Solution of difficulties over allo-,
cation Of power and power revenues
which, he said, appears as the grav-
est problem to be solved.
Agreement between the lower
basin states over the alloctaion of
water.
These problems, said the execu-
tive, must be solved before Califor-
MIA can be successful in accomplish
ing proposed development.
'It would be very desirable if tho
water problem could be worked out
it should be worked out,'' the
governor said. "People have got
the idea that the water problem
should be solved and they would be
fanDier if it were solved.
81 will not support anything
until a unanimous united front is
reached. by California representa-
tives. We are nearer unity both
among ourselves and with Arizona
than ever before"

FOUR new YORK
CANCSTERS SLAY
COUPLE IN BRONX

NEW YORK, Feb. 13. W.P)-
Four self appointed executioners
who worked with the calm efficien-
cy of hangman. shattered the sill
cnce of the Bronx early today with
nine pistol shots that left a luxur-
iously dressed woman and her male
companion dying on the sidewalk.
The man and the woman-identi-
fled as Carmine Barrelli and May
Smith, q dance hall hostess from
Wilkesbarre, Pa.-died before the
four men could get back into the au-
tomobile from which they had
alighted to do their killing.
Leroy Garrett, negro garage at
tendant, told how he stood at the
window Of the Sherman garage,
where Barrelli had just parked his
car for the night, and watched the
killing. Barrett said the men in the
automobile drove up to the curb be-
side Barrelli and Miss Smith. Four
of them got out, spinning the eylin-
ders Of their revolvers, and appar-
emily doing their work according to
q pre-conceived plan.
So far as is known, no word was
spoken. Two of the men, according
to Barrett, went after Barrelli and
began firing pointblank into his
face. Barrelli reeled, staggered into
the doorway of the service garage
swaved up the ramp and fell dead.
Meanwhile, the other two gunmen
deliberately aimed at Miss Smith as
she ran screaming across the street
Two bullets struck her, one in the
neck and the other between the
shoulder blades. The automobile
had been moving slowly along as the
killing proceeded, and the four mer
got into it and drove away.
The only theory that Detective:
had evolved so far is that Barrell
was guilty of the one unpa:donabl,
breach of underworld code--attempt
ing to steal another mans sweet
heart. Presumably the other mar
was one of the four gunner. 1t wa;
pointed out that robbery could no,
have been the motive for Mis-.
Smiths rings were unmolested

RACIAL TROUBLE
MAY OCCUR OVER
CHEAP LABOR

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13. U.H
Bitter conflict over "cheap labor"
was stirring California. again today
as it did some years ago prior to the,
passing of the Japanese exclusion
act.
Three new racial disturbances in
various parts of the state coming
close on the heels of the WhiteFili-
pino riots at Watsonville, Stockton,
and Exeter have caused the stir.
In recent weeks fighting has brok-
en- out in all parts of the state with
Whites, Filipinos, japanese, Chinese
and MeXicans participating.
In Stockton tense situation pre-
walls with japanese and Filipincs
boycotting each other. Japanese
won't hire Filipino labor and Fill
pinos won't buy from japanese mer-
chants.
In Sacramento Wong Sung,
Chinese cook. is in jail for shooting
and killing Jose Espinosa, Mexican
section hand.
Marriage of q japanese girl to
Saiki Stapia, Filipino, started the
Stockton trouble.
Authorities point out that new
disturbances are more Of an individ-
ual nature but the fighting has add
ed new interest in California for
steps toward restriction of Mexicans
and Filipinos, who allegedly work
for less than white men.
The question of importing "eheap
labor" probably will become polit-
zeal issue with demands on congress
for action, it was said.

HOLDS MEETING

Listening to protests against es-
tablished zoning regulations and pc
tition for various changes occupied
the greater part of the business
meeting of the city planning and
zoning commission held in the offices
of the Southern Sierras Power COM
pany, last night.
A protest was presented to the
commission by G. Jones against the
coming of part of his property on the
east side of Imperial avenue, merely
for dwellings and apartments. This
protest was considered by the board
and it was finally decided to include
business activities in the coming or
dinance for that part of the city.
5. l.. McCrory, in a letter to the
commission, asked that the south
side of State street between Eighth
and Ninth be 7oncd for business in
stead of for apa,tment houses as
had originally been intended. This
matter was finally taken under fur
ther advisement by the board.
Permission was granted the I'm.
ion Oil company to erect service
station ons the south side of Main
street between First and Second
with the provision that the first 60
feet nearest the street be used for
the station and the wrecking ward,
If continued, be kept at the rear Of
the lot and hidden from view by a
fence or shrubbery.
The petitions of DR.. Maxwell and
Alex Sutherland that the intersec.
tion of Fourth and Orange be 7oned
for business were denied.
Fred Kenyon presented an applica.
non to the commission for permission
to build a dance floor in the city
plunge. The commission refused to
take action on this proposition with.
out first consulting the city council. I
A change was decreed in the con.
templated coming ordinance by
which the original plan to zone the
district between Eighth and Twelfth
and Broadway and Park for single
family residence has changed to in
elude multiple dwellings.

\ challenge to drys to allow ma

WAS issued 1T the house judiciary

Sins. Norton urged adoption Of her
resolution providing for a plebi5citc
on the proposition Of repeating the

Once adopted, the resolution calls
tor 4 national referendum which
would automatically retain or re
peal the 18th amendment, depending
upon The Will of the majority.

said, "has the power to repest th;s

cease to be part of the constitu-
tiom when "a majority of the people

Mrs. Norton defended the consti-

Mrs. Charles II. Sabin, former Re

Mrs. Sabin said the womcn's anti

ouit the Republican national com

hers and is growing at the rate of
1000 week. Answering question
from the committee, Mrs. Sabin said
she does not favor return of the
