Hold-Up Pair
Miss Another

Imperial Valleys duo of holdup
men were active again Saturday
night, but failed to carry out their
plans when, in spite of hole shot
through his left rear tire, l.. Der
rick outran the robber car after be-
ing ordered to stop on the San Di-
ego highway only half mile from
FL Centro.
With Derrick when the robbers
pulled alongside his car in a green
coupe was Mary Van Norman. The
highwaymen fired number of
shots in Derrick's direction, and Or
dered him to stop. Instead he
pushed the throttle to the floor and
ran away from the holdup men.
Two bullets took effect on the in
tended victims car. One punctured
the spare tire and the other enter
ed the left rear tire.
The holdup men fitted the same
description as those who, several
days ago, were responsible for five
holdups in one night on valley
highways.

TULSA, Okla, Feb. 8.
Especially - Preached in
Claremore this Sunday
morning, and the deacons
brought in a collection of
$4,000, Chelsea in the af-
ternoon, and Tulsa will
break all records tonight.
Men make a town, not
location, or surrounding
territory. That's w h y
Tulsa has had such a rec
ord. From what | hear
from all over the country
the towns are waking up
to their Red Cross respon-
sibilities, committees have
been lax in getting their
drives started, the same as
the whole country has been
late in realizing the need
of it.
Last year was a year of
under and over estima-
ton Nothing was guessed
right all year. Optimism
was overrated, and pessi-
mism was underrated.
Yours, WILL ROGERS.

NOT DESIRABLE

District voters to the number of
26l6 oppose the survey for the ex-
tension of the drainage system and
2530 favor the idea, it was discov-
cred in this mornings canvass of
the straw ballot cast in the Imperial
Irrigation district election last week,
the proposition being beaten by "a
votes.
No change in the outcome of the
election was discovered by the di-
rectors of the district, variations OF
a few figures found in several in
stances making no change in the
previously announced list of VIC
tors.

sor-collector, and Frank Beale, new
director from Division 4, will take
their offices on March 10. Ira Aten,
who ran for reelection, will con-
tinue in his present post. F.. H. Nc

COURT SCORES
CONVICTED MAN
IN BOMB CASE

A. L. Hodges, convicted of man.
slaughter in connection with the
Staying or Ariston Lampky in I'M
perial December 8, will be taken to
San Quentin penitentiary to begin
serving his term within the next
two days, stated officials of the
sheriff s office today.
In sentencing Hodges Saturday
Judge A. C. Finney recommended
that he serve the full 10 years for
his offense. AT the time he denied
a stay of execution on the sentence
pending appeal, and refused to set
bail for Hodges.
1.-The most atrocious crime in my
experience in Imperial county, was
the way Judge Finney described the
bombing of the barn in Imperial
which resulted in the death of
Lampky and the injury of two other
Filipinos.
Hodges chose the most deadly
weapon he could get his hands on,
Judge Finney told him, and en-
dangered the lives not only of the
Filipinos in the barn but of many
other persons.
The jury was wonderfully le-
nient' in returning a verdict of
manslaughter in this case, stated
Judge Finney He termed Hodges a
dangerous character.
Throughout Judge Finney's re-
marks Hodges wept, as he did when
the jury returned a verdict last
week.
Edward B. Patterson, attorney for
Hodges, filed notice of appeal on the
moion for new trial which was
denied by the court.
Hodges refused to take the stand
when the judge passed sentence on
him, as is customary He said moth
ing to the court, leaving the entire
burden of talking on his attorney.
Hodges commitment to San
Quentin leaves the case of Anthony
D. Patton to be disposed of in clear
ing up the Imperial bombing case
insofar as local courts are concerned.
Patton will be tried beginning the
first Monday in March.

Republican Caucus AdvO-
Gates Such Action For

PARKS ON WARPATH
Arkansas Congressman In
Fiery Speech Denounces
Relief Compromise
By LYLE C. WILSON

WASHINGTON, Feb. ;. U.P)-A
program of night sessions and par
ty action with respect to the soldier
bonus and drought relief was ten
tatively worked out today by
senate Republican caucus.
Majority Leader Watson said the
caucus had discussed only the three
matters. The Republicans agreed
night sessions would be resorted to
after tonight if the legislative sit
uation warrants. The holding Of a
single night session tomorrow had
been agreed upon previously.
The senate finance committees
decision to suspend action on vet
Grams compensation legislation until
the house committee has acted was
acceptable to the caucus. and Wat
son said the administrations in
| depreciation of the drought relief
program also was generally accepta-
! BILE
! There was no formal action at to-
days meeting, Watson said. He read
to the caucus Secretary of Agri-
culture Hyde's Interpretation of the
manner in which drought relief
would be administered. The majo-.
rity leader said his understanding
was that farmers with credit could
borrow funds for any purpose con-
nected with agriculture unless a
specific agreement to the contra
| ry were attached to the loan.
Secretary Hyde's Interpretation
/ fo or =
ter the caucus.
Watson emphasized that the gov
ernment would have no money ito
give for food
The tentative agreement today
among Republicans does not lessen
progressive Republican opposition
| to the drought relief compromise.
In the house the relief compro-
mise was denounced as "a sham and
a fraud and a fake by Represen-
| tative Parks, Democrat of Arkansas,
who said MY leaders cannot COM
promise me"
I'll go down." Parks shouted in
the first outburst against the COM
| promise in the house, but I'll go
down flying the flag of my people
! who are starving
Parks said the compromise came
at a time when more than a half
million people in Arkansas were
starving and their numbers are
being increased daily.
This compromise will not take
a. single dime to any starving per-
son. 1t provides only for loans on
adequate security" he said.
He then denounced the report
sent President Hoover by Colonel
Campbell Hodges. White House at
tache who found no need for feder-
al aid in Arkansas.
THAT report was written before
he left the city, in my belief" Parks
said.
Parks read from an article in the
Washington Daily News which de-
scribed Secretary of Agriculture
Hyde as playing safe" with drought
relief loan funds and which said the
loans made under the appropriations
are "hedged around with red tape"
He described the paper as "the
only independent, courageous paper
in the city of Washington.

LOOKING AROUND
THE COUNTY FAIR

Topping off Sundays gala day at
the fair was the excellent playing
of the massed Brawley Public band
and Ell Centro Municipal band un-
der the direction of Professor Hor-
ace Williams.
There were 90 cornets alone in
the band. We counted em. The
players ranged from kiddies up to
grandfatherS and the played eX-
ceptlonally we'll between races.
Professor Williams had a hard time
making the kids hold that last note
when the racing machines began to
pop.
A bouquet is due Captain Frank
OSWalt for the excellent policing at
the fair grounds. No disorder and
the cops had a grin for every one.
Firemen of the valley acted as
ushers in the grandstand and they
did their stuff well. Always they
seemed to be able to find room for
iate-comerS.
We can't crab the rain so much
at that. 1t eliminated the dust, so
We should be thankful.
Directors of the fair had 4 box
right in front of the band and
shared it with late arrivals.
The scribes are fixed up with a
private booth this year 1t happens
to be on the wrong side of the
judges stand but the bows are
grateful for the accommodation and
feel sure it will be straightened
around for next years show.

fornia said to the governor Of Ar
izona: III change all that misun-
derstanding now and your delega-
tionS will be received hereafter"
Governor Rolph later remarked
that he regarded the meeting as
markinga new era" for both states.

ciliation" would be a speeding up

Governor Carlos Y. Lerdo De Te-
jada of Baja California, Mexico

CONDITIONS IN
DROUGHT AREA

CHICAGO, Feb. 9. U.P)-General
precipitation throughout the country
was halted today by falling temper
atures which terminated also VIM
ter Cheat" wave in the middlewest.
Predictions were, however, that the
lower temperatures would prevail
only for g short time and would
provide no more than a lull in a
winter which thus far has been one
of the mildeSt on record.
Rain, which varied from SHOW
ers to doWnpours in the various
areas and which began in many Sec
tions Friday night, stopped Sunday
in most places.
Enough moisture fell, it was said.
to improve greatly conditions in
Southern Illinois. Indiana and Ken
lucky, where there have been water
famines, but many more days of
rainy weather would be necessary to
bring conditions back to normal.
In southern Illinois, where it has
been necessary to ship water into
many towns, the rains had little ef-
feet upon the streams, but served to
replenish wells and reservoirs and
aided some in getting farm lands
ready for spring planting.
Mild temperatures continued to
prevail yesterday throughout the
country. The coldest section was
Yellowstone Park, where the maxi
mum was % and the minimum four
above zero.
In Chicago, the maximum was al.
the minimum, 33.
