Peoples Voice

Editor Times-The plan, advanced
by the American Legion to alleviate
suffering in this country, caused
primarily by widespread unemploy-
ment, is the only real attempt so far
by any well organized group that
promises results.
1t is entirely fitting that the same
men that fought to secure for our
country justice in the eyes of the
world should grid themselves to cope
with situation just as serious as
that which confronted the nation IN
the stirring days of 1917.
This movement possibly can re-
store some Of the confidence the
Workingman has lost in those ne
elected to serve him, a dangerous
condition for any country, the first
step toward anarchy, which perhaps
will serve as warning to our So
called statesmen, that their first
duty is to their own people.
We believe the common people of
this country, on some given date,
should hold mass meetings in every
town represented by a chapter Of
the Legion and pledge themselves to
support this movement. Such a ges-
ture as this would be all that is
necessary to warn our lawmakers
that results, not quibbling over the
means, are expected of our public
servants; that confidence again
must be restored by our financial
leaders; that the great industrial
corporations treat their employees
not as mere chattels, but with a
fairness and consideration that is
their due.
Let the captains Of industry for
get their Andrew H. Brown" COM
pick and much of the present seri-
Gus situation could be solved.

HEALING BREACH
GETS ATTENTION
OF DEMOCRATS

ALBANY, N. Y. July 5.-Another
indication that Democratic conven-
ton battle wounds are healing was
seen here today in plans for a
Homecoming reception" for Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, sponsored
by political factions which sup
ported former Gov. Alfred E. Smith
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
The governor returned from the
Chicago convention last night.
The official reception by the city,
planned and organized by Edward
j. and Daniel P. O'ConneD. will be
Wednesday, or poSsio:,. later. The
organizers are ardent Smith
partisans.
Other weekend developments
which indicated the Smith
Roosevelt break would be healed
during the campaign for the presi-
dency, included:
Roosevelt's Independence Day
greeting to the Society of Tam
many h1o 4CA0 bC4O4C = dulllld44g
members and applauded by all, in
cluding Smith, an official. Smith
himself was given a most enthus-
iastic greeting. Roosevelt's message
closed with the statement that II
am assured the Society of Tam
many will follow the banners when
the cause of real democracy is at
stake"
1t was pointed out that on June
13, Smith and other Democratic
leaders signed pledge to support
the party's nominee. 1t was an ap-
peal for contributions to the cam
paign fund, and pledged that
whatever the result of the con-
yention, the Democrats will get be-
hind their nominee and support
him, loyalty"

PIRATE TREASURE
WORTH MILLIONS
REPORTED FOUND

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-Opti-
mistic investors in an expedition
which has cabled from Panama City
that pirate treasure worth S60,000,-
600 has been unearthed in Cocos
Isle anXiously awaited further de-
tails today from their investment" :"
Pieces of eight, gold and silver
plate-in quantities exceeding the
widest dreams Of fiction's soldiers
of fortune-have been discovered
according to the cabled message Of
Capt. r. D. Adams, Lindsay, Calf,
orange grower and a member of
the expedition.
The expedition sailed from Van
couver, B. c., last February to seek
the legendary treasures buried in
Central America by Captain Gra-
ham," a British naval officer who
became notorious pirate, preying
on Spanish vessels. 1t was reported
here today that Captain Adams
cable was INTENDED 20 oe an assur-
ance to persons along the Pacific
coast who invested in the venture.
The cabled assurance" that the
booty would net $60000,000 caused
hint of suspicion here. It seemed
too fabulous even TO the speculative
investors. Many of them were seek
ing further verification of their
good fortune before computing the
"Ponzi" like returns they may re-
ceiye from their investment in the
treasure hunt.
Finding of the treasure was made
possible by use Of an electric "di-
vining rod" invented by w. S. Clay
ton. said Captain Adams message.
Like a taunt to another treasure
hunting expedition Of recent years,
Captain Adams declared in his mes
sage that the richly laden chests
were unearthed within 80 feet of
the camp established by Sir NAL
colin Bell, famous British race
driver, in his search Of Cocos Isle
for the buried loot.

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, July 5. U.H =
Stocks experienced severe reaction
today following three-day shut
down on the exchanges for Inde-
pendence day. Toward the close,
however, a rally brought number
of issues above the previous close.
The early decline caused losses
that ranged above points. At the
outset particularly, weakness was
noted in the utilities. Some lead
ing issues, including American Tele-
phone, Eastman Kodak and Union
Pacific set new lows.
Oil shares were exceptions to the
trend of the day, rising on de-
cline in crude oil production which
was interpreted favorably. Late in
the session gold mining shares
came in for attention. A few issues
which seemed to have pool sup
port we're bid up, notably Gotham
Silk Hosiery, which rose 2 points
to a new high at 16.
News over the long weekend was
in line with expectations. Steel
reviews found prospect of drop
to 13 per cent in steel production
this week on account Of the holi-
day shutdowns. Car loadings for
the latest week reporting were
down 1860 cars from the pre-
ceding week.
Reports from Lausanne were
confusing, but traders seemed to
be of the impression sosne agree
ment would be reached. On that
theory German government bonds
were bid up sharply.
Some observers interpreted selling
of utilities as a mark of resent
ment of Wall street to the nomina-
ton of Governor Roosevelt as the
Democratic presidential candidate.
Commodity markets moved mar
rowly. Grains eased off while cot
ton held steady. Cocoa, sugar and
rubber futures made substantial
gains. Silver eased off.
OF significance in Wall street
was further rise in the American
dollar. At the present rate OF ad-
vance, the street was looking for q
return flow of gold to this country.
There was still apprehension over
the recent rise of money in circu-
lation which meant nothing else
but an increase in boarding
LOS ANGELES, July S. U.H

tual bondage in which they had
been held by Ortiz.

companied by public demonstra-
tions throughout the state.

gestion of the w. C. T. u, trans
mitted to the county board of su-
pervisors this morning by Mrs. An

as representatives of the temper
ance organization.
After g thorough discussion of
the proposition, during which it
was pointed out that the jurisdic-
ton of the district attorneys does
not extend to such work, but only
to prosecution, the matter was tab
led by the supervisors.
One cf the few matters upon
which the supervisors disagree came
up with the proposed appointment
of Archie Farrar, at $50 month,
as deputy welfare INDECENT commits
sioner for ex-service men in this
county. The appointment was voted
down by a ballot of three to two.
Following this, Charles Nice was
appointed deputy INDECENT commits
sioner for veterans welfare work.

without additional expenses. This
was carried by three to two vote.

SPECIAL MESSAGE
BY HOOVER ASKS
AID FOR CLIFFORD

WASHINGTON, July 5. U.P)-
Presiden. Hoover today sent spe-
cial message to congress urgently
requesting an appropriation OF
$4,000 to continue the work of
his organization on unemployment
relief headed by Walter S. Clifford.
1.-The appropriation requested for
continuance of this organization is
infinitesimal in its ratio to the large
resources which ere put at the COM
mand of those in distress, the
Presidents message said, land that
also relieves burdens upon munich
palities, states and the federal gov
ernment.
This organization is the only
agency for national coordination
and stimulation for the multitude
of voluntary efforts and a clearing
house to these thousands of organ
izations anG methods for the allevi-
alton of unemployment and distress.
Should this organization be dis
couraged, not only would its import
ant functions of stimulation of
private giving and coordination be
destroyed, but there would be grave
danger of national, state and local
volunteer groups concluding that
services such as they have render
ed are no longer necessary"
The President declared that de-
mobilization Of his unemployment
relief organization might easily
promote widespread confusion and
bring great hardships where the
work is needed"

HUTTON GIVEN
new TITLE AT
COURT HEARING

LOS ANGEUES, July 5. U.p)-
David L. Hutton, who has at time:
been called Iron Man" and mo.
No Hutton" today was dubbed "the
Great UnkisSed."
The title came to him at the
conclusion of a surprisingly briei
cross examination at the trial oi
Miss Myrtle st. Pierre's 100000
breach of promise suit.
Hutton denied every allegation
of the comely nurse who charged
that he won her love and then be-
trayed her under promise of mar
riage.
Then" said Lorrin Andrews, at
torney for Miss St. Pisrre, so far
as you and this girl are concerned,
you are the great unkiSSed."
Hutton, $50 pounds of indigna-
ton, half-rose TO answer but the
roar of objections from his own at
torneys stopped him and the re-
mark went unanswered.
Hutton's cross examination was
very similar to his direct testimony.
He denied that he betrayed Miss
st. Pierre, that he called her en-
dearing names, that he held her
hand or kissed her knee.
The big moments of his friend
ship with Miss st. Pierre. accord
ing to Hutton's recital, were pure
ly platonic automobile rides and
polite conversation.
"Oh, guess called her by her
first name a couple of times" he
admitted. But I never called her
any endearing names. She some
times called me Dave"
On only one point did the mate
of Aimee Semple McPherson-Hut
ton vary from the story he told
on direct questioning.
He said then tnat once when he
went to Miss ST. Pierre's health
solarium he received treatment for
cold but that he teok off only
his shirt instead of disrobing COM
pletely as Miss st. Pierre testified.
Today he backed away from his
version a bit.
81 guess I did take off my clothes
that time" he said. But she gave
me a pair of trunks and a sheet
and I put them on before I had
the treatment

immigration Men
Arrest Chinese

For the first time since June %,
immigration border patrol officers
this morning escorted five Chinese
to the Imperial county Jail as al
legged illegal entrants into the
United States, and candidates for
free transportation to China.
A lull in the activities of Chi
nese who cross the border with the
sole intention OF being arrested and
sent back to their native land had
resulted in large decrease in the
number of prisoners az the Jail.
Rumors have reached officers
here from time to time, however,
that large groups of Orientals in
Mexico are planning fresh on
