LONG FIGHT ENDS
Brockman And Beal Vote
Against Resolution OF
Election.

Nineteen years Of struggle to
bring the All-Amerlcan canal con-
tract to a vote by the people OF
Imperial Valley reached successful
consummation today when the spe-
cial All-American canal election
was set for Thursday, February II.
Members of the board Of direc-
tors accepted Il resolution calling
the election by a vote of three to
two. Chairman c. w. Brockman
and Director w. F. Beal voted
against It while Directors Ira Aten.
". o Blair and Mark Rose voted
IN faFef y it.
EleeIsns Tor the recall of Brock
man Is division No. l and for Blair
IN division No. 3 were also set for
February i. the vote standing:
Brockman opposed: Aten. Blair.
Beal and Rose favorable.
When the epoch making resolu-
tion calling the election for approv-
al or rejection OF the s33 $4,000
project was placed before the board
of directors, there were % individ-
uals in the room in addition TO
officials and directors. Passage of
the resolution was received IN Stl-
ence. The little group present at
the meeting represented all Sec
tions Of Imperial Valley, there be-
ing at last one voter present from
every division. -
Imperial Irrigation district was
formed In 1911 for the purpose OF
securing an Al-American canal
and protecting the water rights Of
Imperial Valley citizens. Soon at
ter the organization of the district.
surveys of the proposed route were
made and activity for construction
began. Within short time. how
ever, enemies of the project as
sumed control and successfully
blocked every move of those favor
ing the canal.
Entire Nation Involved
Bitter and protracted was the
struggle in Imperial Valley before
the matter finally was taken to
Washington and placed before gov
ernmental officials. The fight In
Washington dragged out for years
and was supplemented, OF course.
by a continued battle locally. The
entire national finally became In.
VOWED and it was necessary tc
build Boulder dam before the ALL
American canal project would be
considered.
Undaunted by the millions Of dol
lars declared TO have been spent to
defeat the project, the Boulder dam
project was brought to successful
conclusion.
After Boulder dam received the
approval of the United States gov
ernment, the All-American canal
project had to be fought along the
same lines before 1t could be placed
before the people of the valley.
That point was reached last week
and the election was called as soon
as possible.
Prior to the submission of the
election resolution the secretary
read the report OF Edward Hyatt,
state engineer, and also a report
signed by members of the Califor-
MIA District Securities commission.
Both reports were III favor of the
All-American Canal contract.
Board members recessed at noon.

tant leaders of the nations second

opened the Battle of Chicago
It was a fight to provision ar
empty treasury against the myriad

broken down tax machinery.

Anton Cermak told a monster mass
meeting that packed the huge sports
arena where the Republican ma

but I am frank to say that unless

The mayor, who today led band
of determined officials and citizens
for last plea to the reconvened
state legislature, addressed 10000
teachers, pupils, parents and SYM
pathizers.
Even as civic leaders heartened
the teachers, many of whom said
carfare to the meeting meant
scrimping on lunches, plans went
forward for radio classes II the
schools close.
Leaders fear action by the legis-
iature may come too late. An
nouncement was made that regular
classes would be conducted by air
for the 100000 school children. For
families without radios neighbor-
hood groups would be formed.
Chicago schools III the metropol!-

BANNED PAPER
TAKES CASE TO
HIGHER COURT
Kentucky Judges Action
In Barring Reporter
To Be Contested.
BY FOSTER EATON
United Press Staff Correspondent

MT. STERLING, KY, Jan. 5.
tUPe-The fight for free speech and
freedom of the press in Kentucky
has been carried to the state court
OF appeals from Justice Henry b.
Prewitt who has barred repre-
sentatives of the Knoxville News
Sentinel from his court.
The newspaper filed formal no.
tice in Prewitt'S MontgomerY
county circuit court that 1t would
seek a writ OF prohibition to set
aside his ruling excluding its rd-
resentatives until the paper re-
tracted alleged "libelous, SANDER
Gus, false statements
Judge Prewitt's action grew out
of editorials published by the
newspaper in comment upon the
Harlan, KY, coal mine labor war,
with its resultant conspiracy to
murder cases which were trans
ferred here, 200 miles from the
scene of the Staying.
John T. Moutoux, staff cores
pondent of the News-Sentinel. was
sent here to cover the first of those
trials. Upon convictions of the
defendant, William B. Jones, mine
union official, the newspaper said
editorially:
ANY fair-minded man who fol-
lowed the testimony in the Jones
trial might wonder in his own
mind whether he was convicted OF
conspiracy to murder, or because
he was a labor leader"
Judge Prewitt cited Moutoux in
contempt, but dismissed the action.
The court ruled, however, that the
NeWs-Sentinel could not be repre-
sented here unless it apologized
and retracted the statement.
Prosecution Counsel j. B. Snyder
then declared Moutoux's presence
mere "odious to the commonwealth
and submitted an affidavit de-
manding Moutoux show cause why
he should be permitted TO cover
Judge Prewitt's court.
To make test case, the News
Sentinel, Monday, asked that Jack
Ryan be permitted to report the
court proceedings. Judge Prewitt
denied the request.

five minutes.
Emerging from the secretary
office he met reporters. II have
only short statement to make,
he said.
Acting under instructions from
my government in Toxic, have ex-
pressed to the secretary of state Its
sincere regrets for the unfortun-
ate occurrence at Mukden.'
Previously the Japanese consul
at Mukden had expressed regret to
the American consul there.
Debuchis action today marks the
first time in some years that an
other government has been called
on to offer regrets to the United
States for an untoWard incident
This country had the same exper-
ience last winter when Stilnson
apologized to the Italian govern
ment for discourteous remarks about
Premier Mussolini made by Major
General Smedley Butler, recently
resigned marine officer.

American consul.
1t was announced an apology

lain and an official explanation oi
the incident had been forwarded
Washington. There was also forth
coming an unofficial explanation
that the two Japanese soldiers ano
an interpreter who attacked Cham.
berlain had perhaps overindulgec
at New Years Eve party
Whether these steps would satisfy
the American government remained
to be seen. One version, contendec
japanese official had expressed
regret at the incident, without
the government. however, making
an official apology for the mishand-
ling Of Chamberlain.
There were other unofficial ex-
plantations, all of which minimizec
the seriousness of the incident. One
of these was that Chinese agents
had been using cars flying the Am
erican flag in efforts to pass sen
tries, and that Chamberlain hac
been mistaken for one. Another
was that Chinese soldiers disguiset
as japanese were the offenders
Another was that Chamberlain hac
tussled with the interpreter witt
the soldiers.
Despite official assurances that
the Japanese consul had apologizec
to Chamberlain, the Mukden cor
respondent of the Japanese news
agency Nippon Dempo reported thai
Consul Morishima expressed regret
to Chamberlain that Japanese sol.
diers had struck him but did moi
offer an apology
The government appeared to bt
anxious to avoid an official apology
through the foreign office because
the army refused to admit the sol.
diers were more to blame for tht
incident than Chamberlain.

Produce Growers
Hoping For Luck

SACRAMENTO. Jan. S. U.P) =
California vegetable growers are
hoping for better luck" this year
than last, when frost, dry weather
and insect pests decimated their
receipts by $10,800,000.
This was the statement of f. Z.
kaufman, federal-State crop statis-
tician, here today following a tab
ulation of the 1930-31 acreage.
Harvested acreages of California
vegetables last year were 456, $50
acres as compared with 474,l7O the
previous year, which was the rec
ord in California. With the ex-
ception of canning tomatoes and
canning spinach, acreage decreases
can be accounted for mainly by
the weather, he said.
