WOMAN'S PLAN
TO FLEE JAIL
8 IS DISCOVERED

Escape of woman prisoner from
the county Jail was frustrated by
Mrs. c. l.. Gillett, matron, last night
when she discovered a 40-foot strip
of cloth. torn from mattress covers
and knotted together to make a
rope by which officers assert Edith
Slater hoped to escape last night.
After the length of cloth was dis
covered, officers made thorough
inspection of the womens tank in
the Jail to ascertain ii any bars
were sawed through. They found
none.
The theory was advanced that the
woman hoped to slip onto the upper
front porch of the Jail, knot the
cloth around a drain pipe, and slide
to the ground Another theory
was that she hoped TO slip into the
halls of the Jail, climb to the roof
by stairs leading from the women's
quarters, and slide to the ground
from there.
Edith Slater is held in the county
Jail on a charge of vagrancy When
her term is served she will be de-
ported to Canada as an undesirable
alien.

OUSTED OFFICER
PLANS TOCARRY
CASE INTO COURT
James Makes Charge That
Mayor Porter Is 'Clev-
er Crook

LOS ANGELES, June 27. WP)-
The fight of Thomas H. James for
reinstatement to the police force
will be carried to the courts and all
his claims that Los Angeles is vice.
ridden and under the control of the
underworld will be aired again, he
said.
His announcement followed the
action of a police board of inquiry
which yesterday upheld his dismiss
al from the board for having made
defamatory statements about Mayor
John j. Porter and Police Chief Roy
Steckel.
In hearing which saw verbal
bombshells being tossed at the
heads of the city law enforcement
James charged the mayor and the
police chief "railroaded' him be-
cause of his activities against pro
tected vice and crime"
1T was just the verdict I expect,
James explained, somewhat bellig-
erent after his three-day ordeal in
which he was accused of being
harmful to the force. "Of course
Chief Steckel and the police COM
mission will go through the formal
ity of approving it. Then I intend
to appeal to the courts"
James introduced a surprise wit
ness on the stand in the person oi
his foster mother, Mrs. Simmons
Wheeler, former president of the
w. c. T. U. and a member of the
Los Angeles county prohibition
committee.
Her testimony was to prove that
James had been lured by Police In
vestigator Harry Brandon to make
discriminating and defamatory
statements against Porter in the
presence of Charles Sinnott, wealthy
Beverly Hills realty man.
Yesterday James charged Porter
with being "clever political crook.
Asked to explain himself, he de.
clared:
II mean that he is clever in tbs
art OF conniving and deceiving peo.
pie as to his true character. His
true profession is not what he pro.
fesseS it to be for public consump-
tion."

Liquor Cargo Is
Juggled Twice

SANTA MARIA, Cal, June 27.
U.P)-A truck containing $50 cases
of liquor valued at $4,000 was
seized here early today after having
once been confiscated by Santa
Barbara sheriff's officers and recap
tured by six bootleggers.
According to Sheriff James Ross,
of Santa Barbara, his deputy, Paul
Boyee, seized the truck in Santa
Barbara at a. m. and placed the
driver, Harry Jones, of Los Angeles,
under arrest.
AS he was driving the truck to
headquarters, six armed men held
him up, placed Jones at the wheel
of the truck and ordered him to
drive to San Francisco, Ross said.
They left Bovee in his own auto
mobile after first disconnecting the
ignition. Bovee got in touch by
telephone with several cities north
of Santa Barbara and informed
authorities of what had happened
with the result that authorities here
seized the truck and again took
Jones into custody three hours after
his arrest.
Sheriff's deputies still are search
ing for the six armed men who cap
tured the truck.

WARMLY GREETED
ON RETURN HOME

LOS ANGELES, June 27. U.H-
Mayor John c. Porter returned here
today from trip that took him to
France with other American mayors
and one of his first acts was to
drink rousing toast-in orange
juice.
The mayor was given a tremend-
Gus ovation when he stepped from
his train to greet some 1000 consti-
tuents, most prominent among
whom were prohibition leaders.
And before the cheering had died
away the mayor was discussing the
widely publicized time in France
when he declined toast in wine.
Your firm attitude placed you in
a class with the highest type of in
diyidual in the country" shouted
Mrs. Eva c. Wheeler, state presi-
dent of the w. c. T. U. "Congra-
tulations have poured in from all
parts of the country commencing
your stand"
"One of the most difficult things
l had to do in France was to avoid
drinking and at the same time keep
the respect of the people there, +"
Mayor Porter answered.
Accompanied by friends and vari-
Gus city dignitaries the mayor
moved from the depot to city hall.
There, in jocular ceremony, the
mayor. Council Thomas Cooke and
Robert Burns, and chief of Police
Roy Steckel drank the toast in
orange juice.

POWER SERVICE
TO DAM SITE IS
STARTED TODAY

LAS VEGAS, New, June 81. W.H
Electric power service for con-
struction work at Boulder canyon
dam was inaugurated today by A.
B. West, president of the Nevada
California Power Company, in the
presence of several score newspa-
permen and representative of the
United States Reclamation Service.
The power line, 225-miles in
length, crosses the San Bernardino
mountains from San Bernardino to
the dam site, and was completed
we'll within the 240-day limit set
by the government. The line will
deliver 10000 volts 10 the con-
tractors.
Dedication of the line followed a
tour of the district from Las Vegas
City and the reclamation construc-
ton camp. The group took boat
trip down the Black Canyon gorge
to view the Hoover dam area from
a new observation point established
by the government.
West, speaking for the Southern
Sierras Power Company and the
Nevada California Power Company
builders of the power line, empha-
sized the demonstration of speed
and efficiency which marked the
preliminary work.
Although the site of the Boulder
canyon project appears to be in a
virgin country, the site was in real
ity visited by Alarcon. who sailed
to it up the Colorado from the
Gulf of California 400 years ago.

try newspaper editors, publishers of
farm magazines, representatives OF

cultural technicians will participate

country's greatest educators.

ming schools during the past two

Scommercial element eliminated, will
become the most powerful tool IN
the world for elevating the ultimate
culture OF the people" John Elmer

EMBARGO
PLANNED
United States Threatens
To Place Ban Upon All
Soviet Imports.
CONTEST EXPECTED
Move Will Be Upheld And
Opposed By Leaders OF
American Industry.
By THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

copyright, 1881, by united PreSS)
WASHINGTON, June 81. U.P)-
The United States Treasury is
planning to seek an iron-clad en-
barge against all imports from So
Wet Russia, the United Press
learned today The action, If sue
cessful, would be the most drastic
OF its kind in recent history.
The plan now is TO put the en-
barge into effect next January !,
when provision of the Hawley-
Smoot tariff law forbidding impor-
tation OF any product OF forced or
identured labor becomes effective.
The treasury expects to take the
position that all labor in Russia is
forced or identured. Its interpre-
tation is based on the fact that Rus
sian manpower is drafted to work
under the five-year plan and is SUBJ
ject to penalties If the Soviet's in
dustrial orders are disobeyed.
II is assumed that Russia will
contest vigorously such an inter-
probation of the Hawley-Smoot pro-
visions. 1t would have the right to
carry the issue to the courts, acting
probably through the Amtorg Trad
ing company. Soviet business agent
in this country.
Under present law. only goods
produced by actual convict labor are
banned from the United States
Several times the treasury has tenn
porarily held up Russian shipments.
particularly lumber, for investiga
tion ON this score. A cargo of pulp
wood is now detained at New York
pending a ruling by Acting Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Ogden l.. Mills.
No such shipments have been
kept out SO far. But under the new
regulations. the treasury proposes to
bar not only goods allegedly pro-
duced by convict labor in Russia,
but all Soviet products. II would
give TO these provisions a signifi-
canoe that apparently was not real
ICED by congress.
Decree Cited
Congress in the new regulations
defines forced or indentured labor
as labor that is voluntary and
is subject to penalties for non-per-
torrance. The treasury view Is
that virtually all labor under So
Wet rule is of this type. Officials
cite a decree of the commissariat
of labor issued last November. The
decree says that skilled workmen
who refuse tasks offered them will
then be put to doing unskilled labor,
