investigation of the affairs of two
ousted receivers for the $4,000, 900

IOWA DELEGATES

DAVENPORT, Iowa, March 80
U.P)-Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of
New York today added 1owa's 26
delegates to the list Of those sup
porting his candidacy for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination.
The Roosevelt endorsement came
after a turbulent state convention
which also adopted o resolution
favoring submission of a state OPP
ton prohibition amendment to the
states through constitutional con-
vention.
Considerable sentiment for an un-
instructed delegation was present in
the convention and opponents of
the New York executive charged
Iowa had been "railroaded' into
the column of central west states
including Minnesota and North Da-
kota already supporting him.
Supporters of Gov. William H.
(Alfalfa Bid Murray of Oklahoma
were few and no active campaign
was waeed among the delegates
for the fiery southwest leader.
After Roosevelt had been named,
a motion was made to designate
Murray as second choice of Iowa
delegates at the Chicago conven-
ton. The motion failed for lack Of

The prohibition resolution brought
little discussion and was adopted
almost unanimously.

ANY REFERENDA
VOTE OPPOSED
BY W. {. 7. j

CHICAGO, March 30. W.P) -
.Staunch opposition to any form OF
referenda or submission of the
eighteenth amendment was eX-
pressed today in reports placed be-
fore the National Women's Christ
ian Temperance union conference.
Investigation shows all such pro-
posals to be the first step in re-
peal of the prohibition amendment
the conference was informed.
THE proposal to legalize 4
per cent beer" convention report
stated, "is an attempt to nullify
the eighteenth amendment and is
contrary to the letter and purpose
of national prohibition.
THE proposal to submit a re-
peal amendment providing for
state control of the liquor traffic,
to be ratified by state conventions
is not resubmission; neither is it a
plan for reaffirmation of the
eighteenth amendment. 1t is a
proposal to open the way for re-
peal and to this we are opposed"
Recent votes in the house and
senate were cited to indicate that
wet forces are still far from the
two-thirds vote necessary to sub
nit a repeal amendment to the
states.

JEWEL statesmen
GET in TROUBLE
BELOW BORDER

MeXicali and Calexico police al
most had their hands on the big
gest arrest of many months yes
terday afternoon when they held
two men and a large assortment
of jeWelry after one Of the men
tried to dispose of several watches
in MeXicali, but the arrest fiZZled
out when it was discovered the men
came into possession of the jewerly
legally.
About 600 watches and 20 dia-
nond rings made up the assort-
ment which was examined by Of
ficers after the men were taken
into custody. The jewelry was
compared with that described in
a circular from San Bernardino,
where a jewelry store was prac-
tically stripped in a burglary sew
eral days ago.
The comparison, however, showed
the watches and rings in possess
sion of the two men were not the
same stolen in San Bernardino.
Calexico officers, who had held
Max Shiberg for investigation, re-
leased him.
Mexicali police still held Morris
Goldstein, pending a decision as
to whether they will prosecute him
on a charge of attempting to sell
jewelry in Mexicali without having
paid duty on it.

VERDICT
OF JURY
SCORED
Los Angeles Judge Flays
Imposition Of Life Sen
tence In Staying Case.
PAROLES ATTACKED
Judge Fletcher B0wrOn
Declares Death Penalty
Should Be Enforced.

LOS ANGELES, March 80 U.P,-
law were criticized severely today
by Superior Judge Fletcher Bowron
when he sentenced John A. Hen
dricks, 80, and Samuel Schwarz, AZ,
to life imprisonment in San Quen-
tin for the murder of Robert j.
Erwin, 81.
The jurist said he could see no
reason why the jury had not
brought in a verdict carrying the
death penalty.
This murder was the most
brutal ever to come before my
court" Judge Bowron said. 1T
was the most perfect case of cir
cumstantial evidence I ever have
seen. If there ever was case
that merited a hanging verdict it
was this one. The jury's recon-
mendation of life Imprisonment is
mandatory on me, however, so I
must give out that sentence"
And, under the absurd parole
law of the state" he continued, "a
murderer sentenced to life impris-
onment may be released on parole
after serving only seven years OF
his term"
The juriSt then spoke of records
which showed 10 murders in Los
Angeles county during February
alone and said that while it was
difficult to. sentence one to death
it was duty in proper cases since
such a statute was in effect.
Erwin'S nude body was found
last December in the Malibu hills.
He apparently had been strangled
with his own nectie.
At the trial it was testified by
DR.. Samuel Hendricks, father of
one of the defendants, that his son
confessed the Staying.
Although both defendants sought
to be sentenced Immediately, Judge
Fletcher Bowron set Friday for SEN
tence and at the same time ex-
pressed surprise at the verdict.
He said that the evidence clearly
showed that if prosecution witnesses
were to be believed the verdict
should have been first degree mur-
der and if defense testimony was to
be accepted the verdict should have
been acquittal.
Schartzer was shot to death last
December by Robinson and the
state charged he used gun sup
piled by Slater. The state contend
ed robbery was the motive.
Robinson testified he killed
Schartzer in self-defense and Slater
denied the assertion that he gave
the gun to Robinson. Robinson was
arrested here while Slater was cap
tured in the home of his parents
in Lakewood, Ohio.

COLLEGE GROUP
SEEKS TO ENTER
FORBIDDEN AREA

MENA, Ark, March 80. U.P)-
Overall-clad students stood in the
doorways of the crude log huts of
Commonwealth Labor college and
waved goodbye to their college
president and delegation of fellow
students who left today for Harlan,
KY, with supplies for striking min
erS.
Lucien Koch, "a, America S young
est college president, with three
students, will attempt to make a
test case on the right to carry sup
plies through the guarded coal
towns"
"The urge to CO." Leo Gurlow
one of the students told the United
Press, "Was brought on because the
national student league delegation
was turned away from the mining
towns and forced to leave the
state"
"An attempt will be made to have
a hearing before Governor Laffoon
of Kentucky. The eastern students
were heard by the governor, but
were not given any encouragement
1--WE will seek the cooperation OF
eastern labor schools" Koch said.
AN attempt to get the cooperation
of university groups along the way
also will be made.
"A wire has been sent United
States Senator Costigan asking for
federal investigation. We are not
Communists. An attempt will be
made to get by deputized mine su-
perintendents on the highways. Not
only are we bringing supplies to
the miners, but we have a bill OF
right ready for the sheriffs."
Commonwealth college has be-
come known as Americas most un-
usual education institution" Its
teachers receive no pay and its stu
dents pay no tuition. The build
ings, crude log huts, are far back
from a dirt road, its campus is
thickly wooded.
Supplies the group is carrying
consist of food raised on the cam
pus farm and canned goods put ur
by the some 60 students.
Beside Koch and Gurlow, the
party will include Sam Sanburg and
Isaac Greenberg.
