prediction that Mayor James j
Walker would be ousted within loo

several thousand New Workers last

1892 MEETING
Believe Convention On
Pacific Coast Would Be
Aid To ;Y0Over
BY PAUL X. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 81. W.P)
The Republican National conven-
ton may be carried virtually to the
Presidents doorstep in San Fran
cisco next year, it was learned to-
day.
An understanding exists among
prominent Republicans that the
home state of the chief executive
is to be given the advantage when
the national committee assemblies
here in December to make the
choice.
The agreement grows out of ne
gotiations in the committee in 1928.
AT that time there were three cities
ardently contesting for the oppor-
tunity of playing host to the Re-
publicans-Kansas City, San Fran
cisco and Detroit. The Michigan
city was eliminated because of its
proximity to anti-prohibition terri
tory, and San Francisco finally ac-
quiesced in the selection of Kan
sas City with the understanding
that it was to have its turn in 80.
Prominent California Republicans
are understood to be at work al
ready in hopes of seeing the agree
ment carried out.
The political situation was such
in 1923 that the selection of mid
western city seemed advisable. AT
this early time, there is as yet no
necessity which would make any
other place more alluring than the
Pacific coast metropolis, according
TO those who will have charge OF
the selection.
If Mr Hoover is to be renominat-
ed no more ideal spot could be
chosen, these authorities maintain,
The President is California's ''fav-
orite son." His voting residence is
80 miles south of San Francisco, on
the Stamford University campus at
Palo Alto. ss's
The particular possibility that
might Illustrate arrangements lies
in the chance that there may be
contest over the nomination.
Should any of the divergent ele-
ments in the party accumulate
strength enough to make vigor-
Gus fight out of the convention, a
movement might develop in favor
of a more centrally located place.
Many delegates would be unable to
pay the large costs entailed by
trip to the coast The cost ele-
ment would not however be i'm
portant in a cut and dried conven-
ton.
There is some agitation in Dem
ocratic ranks to bring that con-
vention to San Francisco. Isadore
Dockweiler, prominent California
Democrat was here recently plac-
ing his demands before the powers
of his party.

Martinez Hill, located south OF the
famous mission constructed in 1894
by early Padres who ventured
northward from Mexico City into
what is now Arizona.
Massive architecture, in some in
stances spanning five feet at the
base, indicates the structures may
have stood several stories high.
Strategic Notifications and burial
chambers covered by desert sands
of many centuries tell the drama
of a race of Indians who were al
ways in the Neolithic state.
Seven district mounds have been
located and four have been unearth-
ed on top of Martinez Hill. Three
traces of Notifications with several
inner forts, SO cleverly arranged the
hill could be successfully attacked
today only from the air, were To-
Gated.
Here, it is believed, Indians CEN
turies ago took refuge from their
enemies or from floods that once
swept over the ground that is now
baked by a blistering sun.
Walls of the ruins appeared to
have been built from volcanic rock
by a tribe, the archaeologists be-
lieve, that had been forced out of
Mexico.
Either flood waters or a dry seas
son forced the people to desert their
pueblos and seek other lands.
Although complete study of the
new discovery has not been COM
pleted, the archaeologists believe
they antedate the Casa Grande
ruins, which have been dated back
by tree rings to 1900 B. c. The Mar
tinez Hill pueblos are declared

GOVERNMENT TO
TRY DISSOLUTION
OF SUGAR TRUST
Many Charges Filed In
Action To Break Hold
On Country

WASHINGTON, March 81. tU.P)-
! Court action of vital interest to
every individual living in the United
States Is ending as result of suit
filed yesterday by the federal gov
ernment, asking dissolution OF the
sugar institute.
Direct and specific charges of
price fixing, artificial transporta-
tion charges, blacklisting ana other
alleged violations of the antitrust
laws were made against the SO de-
PENDANTS comprising the institute.
The suit, filed by the United States
district attorney in New York, asks
permanent injunction against the
institute, forbidding the refiners
comprising its membership from
maintaining comprehensive
scheme designed to fix uniform and
oppressive prices"
The Importance of the action may
be yisualized when it is recalled that
the United States consumed one
fourth of the worlds sugar produc-
ton, that the cane sugar output is
more than 100000 tons q year, and
that the price of cane sugar ranges
from to Il. cents higher than beet
sugar.
No beet sugar refiners were named
in the complaint. One OF the
charges is that the cane refiners,
producing IS per cent of the sugar
consumed in this country, induced
the beet sugar refiners TO restrict
their competitive activities, and then
conspired to keep cane prices uni
formly higher than the price of beet
sugar
The suit charges that so firms
and individuals obtain unrefined
sugar at abnormally low prices"
but maintain high scale OF prices
for the refined product, "and the
growers and producers of raw sugar
have received no benefit from the
increased prices exacted." The pub
lie as result, the complaint goes
on, has been charged large sums
in excess of what it otherwise would
have paid"
The list of defendants includes
names known to every grocery store
patron. Two-the American Sugar
Refining company and the National
Sugar Refining company - refined
nearly half the nations sugar in
1923.
The next step in the case is trial
In the New York district court prob
ably with department of justice
antitrust experts handling the gov
ernment's case. If the government
wins there is probability that the
case will be carried to the court OF
appeals and perhaps to the supreme
court.
