REPUBLICANS TO
 CAUCUS BUT NOT
 ALL WILL ATTEND
LaGuardia and Sev eral Others Will Not Be Pres= ent at the L0ngworth Harmony Festival
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES

Washington, Feb 25 - Speaker Longworth faces the prospect of a house republican caucus tomorrow night from which several republicans will be absent, purposely. The caucus was called to renominate Longworth for the high post he has occupied for six years.
 A few like Rep LaGuardia, N. Y. do not believe in caucuses. Others are desgruntled for one reason or another, ten, or perhaps a dozen, are expected to voice their protest by refusing to attend the barley at which Longworth, Republican Floor Leader Tilson, the the veteran clerk of the house, William Tyler and other officers are to be renOminated.
 Their absences are not important for the purposes of the caucus, but is a portent of trouble when the closely divided 72nd congress as- sembles in December. At that time, Longworth will be pitted against his close friend, Dem ocratic Floor Lead CT Garner of Texas, for the most powerful office of the house. Every vote will count then.
 The handful who will stay away realize that.
 Among those not expected to at- tend are Representatives Peavey, Schneider and Cooper, Wis and Rep resentative-elect Harold McGugin, Kans. Those who have not decided to attend include Representatives Christgau, Selvig, Andersen, Good win and Maas. Minn., Campbell, Iowa, and Lambertson, Kans. ~ Among the doubtful also is Rep Paul Kvale, only member of the farmer-labor party in the house..
 LaGuardia's open and single handed fight against the caucus sys- tenn was carried a step further to- day with a letter to Chairman flaw ley of the republican caucus demand ing that Hawley state publicly if the caucus will bind those who at- tend.
 Hawley replied yesterday to the New Workers first letter that while it is not customary at a caucus to pass resolutions binding members, those who attend are expected "by common consent" to follow it's di- cisionS

New York World To
 Quit Newspaper Field
(Continued from Page 4)

Roosevelt's libel suit against Pull itzer and the World established that newspaper more firmly than ever. The suit wes the result of stories and editorials published while Pulitzer was at seat which attempted to re- veal the deal which gave the United States it's Panama rights.
 These ctories were to the effect that William Nelson Cromwell and his associates, New York financial interests purchased Panama securi- ties that could have been bought in the open market for $4,000,OOO, and resold the property involved to the United States for $10.0O0,OOO. They also charged this same syndi- cate had organized the Panama re- public. financed it. and in all coll lected more than $4O,000.O00 from the United States. Roosevelt was all but called "liar".
 "Who got the money" the World asked. And it demanded congress investigate, demand repeated of- ten since then in other matters of public policy.
 Roosevelt ordered libel suits in federal court on behalf of the gov- ernment. The World claimed they WcIC .OIl DeudlI OL HIS UTOCucr-lH. law, Douglas Robinson. mentioned incidentally in the stories, and in- spired by personal hatred for the World.
 The elder Pulitzer envisioned the possible cowboy tactics'' he might expect. and went so far as to check on condition to some jails he might occupy. Then he went to sea again. fearful of arrest. got the whooping cough, and when a new. secretary came aboard at Lisbon. the latter developed smallpox to add to the Pulitzer worries.
 The indictments finally were dis missed on the grounds that the court had no Jurisdiction, the act which indictments were issued did not ap- ply. and if construed to apply, was unconstitutional, the offense was wholly within the jurisdiction of New York state and punishable therein, and the defendant, being a corporation. was incapable of com hitting the offense charged within the indictment.
 The entire affair did much to add to the Worlds prestige in Washing ton and elsewhere in this country.
 Several times Pulitzer retired" only to come out again for such a battle. When he died. he, like E.. w. Scripps. was rich and left be- hind him a name known where ever presses turn.

SHERIFF SEEKS
HITCH HIKING
BAN IN COUNTY

With the Imperial county board
Of supervisors meeting in regula-
session, Sheriff George L. Camp
bell was to appear before that body
this afternoon to request passage
of a county ordinance making it a
misdemeanor TO ask for or give a
ride on highways in the. county.
This proposed ordinance Sheriff
Campbell considers necessary so
that the county may have some
legal right to put transients to work
in state road camps which will be
established here.
The county could not force the
men to 90 to work in the camps, he
pointed out. BY making it a mis-
demeanor TO ask for a ride, hitch
mixers passing through the valley
can be sentenced to work in the
camps.
Such an ordinance also would dis
courage travel through this county
of unemployed transients, the sher-
iff believes.
Regular monthly demands and
other routine business was consid-
cred by the supervisors this morn
ing, with more important items on
the afternoons schedule

of defense, otnef than that Green

attack will depend largely on the
tactics used by the state.

To Pay Costs Of Bring
ing Action.

other water users of the state on
division of the Colorado river water.

dismissed a temporary restraining
order against the district sought by
M. Edwin Greesor of Indiana and
Clara D. Strieby of Illinois. absent
landholders of the Imperial Valley

injunction permanent.
The agreement in question in
volved the Metropolitan Water Dis
trict, the Palo Verde Irrigation dis
trict and others who seek to use the
Colorado river water.
Only the Palo Verde Valley group
had failed to sign the division pact.
The plaintiffs sought to prove
that the contract Of water division
violated the water rights of the
district The defendants. through
D. B. Roberts, claimed the COM
plant did not state facts iustifying
any relief in equity.
Judge Mccormick held that the
mere making of the contract was
not sufficient grounds for redress.
and that there was nothing to pre-
vent the addition of land to the
- l,a t7r-t ho
1t was stipulated that the agree
ment contemplated enlargement of
the water district, but the contract
alone cannot bring other lands into
the district.
Lands can be brought in only

laws of California" Judge McCor-
mick ruled, land until there is legal
and effective inclusion of additional
lands that will share in the enjoy
ment of water rights of the Imperial
Irrigation District with the COM
plainants, neither of them has been
damaged in any way.
THE complaint in this case dis
closed no existing or threatened in
