FRENCH ELECTION
SHOWS TENDENCY
TO RADICAL LEFT
BY RALPH HEINZEN
lited Press Staff Correspondent

UnlIed PreSS SLaII correspondent
PARIS, May 2.-The rise to pow
er of Edouard Herriott, leader of
the radical Socialist party, emerged
today as a possible result of the
French parliamentary elections.
The swing to the Left and Left
Center in yesterdays preliminary
balloting was fairly we'll defined,
and there was some doubt whether
the run-off voting next Sunday
would leave Premier Andre Tardieu
with enough seats to maintain his
Righ-Center combination.
A revised list by the ministry OF
the interior this afternoon showed
248 deputies were elected while 357
failed to attain the necessary ma
jority and must contest the seats
again next Sunday. The state OF
the parties follows.
Radical Socialist, SO; Republican
Democratic Union, 54; Socialists.
40; Left Republicans. 81; Indepen-
dent Radicals, 25; independent Re
publicans, l3; Popular, Democrats,
10; Republican Socialists, 5; 1nde-
pendent Socialists, 4; Conservatives,
3; Communist Socialists, 3; Com
munistS, l.
The Radical Socialists are only
moderately Left, standing some
where between the reactionary
Right and the Socialists who wish
new order of things. In foreign
policy, there probably would be lit
tie change from the course OF re-
cent governments.

SECOND HENDRIX
TRIAL OPENS IN
SUPERIOR COURT

Andrew L. Hendrix went on trial
in superior court today for the as
serted murder last January 19, five
miles north of Holtville, of w. H.
Mccoy, zanjero for the Imperial
Irrigation district, during fight
over water and cattle.
This is the second time jury
has been called upon to decide the
guilt or innocence of Hendrix. Jur-
ors could not agree after the first
trial, and were dismissed. Judge
Vaughn N. Thompson presided to-
day as attorneys selected jury
from g. special venire.
D. H. Wolford and R. I. French
represented the district attorneys S
office, while Hendrix is defended
by Clarence B. Smith and Fred
Thompson. 1t probably will be late
this afternoon or tomorrow morn
ing before the attorneys agree or
jury.
That both sides will rely largely
on medical testimony to prove thai
Hendrix was or was not respon-
sible for the death of Mccoy be-
cause of a blow on the head was
indicated in the questions asked as
prospective Jurors were called.
During the last trial it was the
contention of the defense that Nc
Coy's physical condition was such
the slightest shock might cause his
death.
Mccoy died after a fist fight with
Hendrix, which climaxed months of
bitter controversy between the two
over water and cattle deals.

(SpeciaD-Well, about all you
can see in the papers is Homo

proves that the islands haven't
got any use for the navy and
the mainland.
Course, 1 guess l am all wet,
but I never have seen any
reason why the United States
or any other nation should
hold under subjection of any
kind any islands or country
outside of our own. We say
we have to have it to protect
the Pacific. Why don't we
have to have the Azores to
protect the Atlantic? We are
going to get into a war some
day either over Honolulu or

Let's all come home and let

CAPONE'S
APPEAL IS
REJECTED
Supreme Court Denies
Review Of Sentence
Given To Gangster.
MUST SERVE TERM
Battle To Retain Free
dom Is Apparently Un-
successful.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-U.P)-
The Department of Justice an
nounced late today that as result
OF the supreme court ruling AL Ca
pone would be sent to Leavenworth
penitentiary probably Wednesday or
Thursday.
WASHINGTON, May a.
Al Capone today lost his final
chance to escape serving his 11-year
term in the Leavenworth, Kansas,
penitentiary for alleged income tax
evasion.
The supreme court announced, in
brief order read by Chief Justice
Hughes, that it would not review
Capone's case.
The courts action means that
Capone must be taken from his
quarters in the Cook county, Ill,
Jail, where he has been lodged since
his sentence several months ago,
to the Leavenworth penitentiary.
A mandate officially announcing
the decision of the court which will
SdPOllt lilo
way will be forwarded at once to
the Chicago federal court where he
was sentenced.
The appeal attacked several phas-
es of the extensive indictment
against Capone on highly technical
grounds.
Capone was sentenced after a
trial before Judge James H. Wilk-
erSon in Chicago.
1t was one of many efforts to
find charge that would hold
against the reported sponsor of
many of the city's underworld ac-
tivities. His prosecutor, Federal
District Attorney Johnson, recount
ed the difficulties of his prosecu-
ton before the Senate committee
which recently recommended Wiki
erson's appointment to the circuit
court bench.
Capone was originally scheduled
to get off with light sentence on
a plea of guilty, but Wilkerson re-
fused to abide by reputed agree
ment to limit his sentence to two
years, decision tnaG made the jur-
iSt nationally famous.
In order to wind up the case the
supreme court hastened its consid-

NATION WATCHES
PRIMARY VOTING
in this STATE
Three Democratic Candi-
dates Stage First Bout
For Delegates.
BY HOMER L. ROBERTS
United Press Staff Correspondent


United Press Staff Correspondent
SACRAMENTO, May 2. = Cali
fornia voters will go to the polls
tomorrow to name their choice of
a candidate for president and pass
judgment on two referendum
measures.
National interest is centered
upon the Democratic primary in
this state, for it marks the first
time the three candidates-Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Speaker
John N. Garner and Alfred E.
Smith-have all appeared on the
same ballot together.
Besides deciding which Demo-
cratic candidate will get the Cali
fornia delegation, the election will
make official the selection of Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover as the choice
of the Republicans.
Republicans, with a majority of
nearly two to one over the Demo-
Gratis in registration, have con-
centrated their efforts in bringing
out large vote. COP. leaders
were fearful lest apathy in the
party ranks might bring out a
small vote, and give the impress
sion nationally that Republicans
and Democrats were evenly di-
vided.
The Republican delegation will
be AZ in number, each with a full
vote. Democrats, on the other
hand, have A votes at stake, di-
vided among 48 delegates, eight
having a half vote.
The action of Democratic voters
on Speaker Garner is also expected
to aid in the decision of William
Gibbs McAdoo, son-in-laW of the
late President Wilson and Garner
leader, as to whether or not ne
shall become a candidate for
United States senator. Should he
decide this course, he would seek
the Democratic nomination for the
right to oppose Sen. Samuel M.
Shortridge, who is seeking re-
election this fall.
Smith Men Hopeful
Backers of Smith were hopeful
that his victory over Roosevelt in
Massachusetts last Tuesday, and
the heavy vote he polled in Penn
sylvania would be influential in
changing many votes on the eve
of the primary.
RooSevelt's campaign, first to get
under way in California, had the
advantage of leadership of many
persons active for years in the
Democratic organization.
At a special state referendum
election, for which separate bal
lots will be issued at the polls, the
people will be asked to decide
whether there shall be established
a control over oil production in
California and whether the state
may lease its beaches for oil
drilling.
Two local contests, in San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, have stirred
up unusual interest in addition to
the party and referendum issues.
In San Francisco $6,500,000
bond issue resigned to complete the
Hetch Hetchy water project is to
be voted upon, while in Los An
geles the voters will be asked to
pass on the proposed recall of
Mayor John c. Porter. Two state
assemblymen, William G. Bonelli
and Charles w. Dempster, are the
chief candidates against Porter.

PRAYED NERVES

There was the time, for example, when Joe Robinson, of Arkansas, turned on the portly, bespectacled Hatfield of West Virginia, shouting to him to quit interrupting-that his interruptions were childish and based either on ignorance or incompetence.
 Hatfield became so incensed that he left the Chamber, berating Robinson in no uncertain terms. The West Virginia Senator was trying to get an amendment to the conference report of the re- lief bill, which the Democratic leadaa insisted was too late.
 The diminutive but scrappy Car ter Glass of Virginia bawled at "Puddlsr Jim" Davis of Pennsyl- vania during the same afternoon in truly terrifying fashion. Glass, feared by all when he arises in his wrath, bounced on Davis with Heve- Jthing he had" for insisting that he was prepared to stay in Washington all summer to see that the Congress did the right thing by the working man.
 Then why hasn't the Senator gotten up here and asserted his rights befors,' shouted Glass.

FOR GOLD
 IN LARD COMES ] ALMOST TO END
Recent Leaders of Mitchell Expedition Are Re-
 turning Home

Finis has virtually been written to the book of adventure that had its genesis last spring when Thomas M. Mitchell, veteran Northern pros pector, organized party of some 30 members in Detroit, Mich, and, equipped with five airplanes, led them into the Liard district of southern Yukon Territory on a quest for placer gold. Almost all the argonauts from the States have abandoned the treasure search, and the three most recent leaders of the expedition are in Juneau today preparatory to departing for their homes.
 Three Recent Leaders Here
 In enc of the Eastman planes that was associated with the orig inal Mitchell group, w. H. Col logly, who succeeded MT. Mitchell as leader of the enterprise when it was reorganized some weeks ago; Edward Butron and Frank Byerly, aviators, arrived here this morn ing from Tulsequah and Atlin bas- es. Of the four remaining planes one is said to have been prac- ticaliy dismantled and the three others have bsen sold by the dis banded company to individuals and will stay in Canadian territory.
 Been Leaving for Weeks
 For several weeks original men1- bers of the expedition have been abandoning it and returning to their homes, in consequence of fail- ure to develop any of the placer gold prospects and due to the re- port of Harry Townsend, mining engineer, that probabilities of find ing pay deposits were remote.

ANGRY CLASHES SHOWED SENATE 7EMpERS SHORT
Violent Disagreements Are
 Nothing New But Some Are Different
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Aug 15-Perhaps there is no better evidence of the wear and tear to which Senator ial nerves were subjected during the past months than the heated and at times bitter personal clash es on the floor in the closing hours of the session just passed.
 Violent disagreements between Senators are nothing new. Scarce ly cay passes while they are in session but that someone, somehow gets into a tangle with a colleague
 But it is a rare occurrence for them to engage in personalities. No matter how worked up they may become or how loud they shout at each other. there is al- ways that feeling that they have respect for one another and a courteous demeanor.
 But there were times in the last few hours of this past session when those watching from the galleries had their doubts. There were flareups and clashes that made one wonder at times iusJ how they would end.

Theatres Feature Glamorous Spy Agle Comedian
''MATA HART AT
 CAPITOL ENDS ITS RUN TONIGHT
Greta Garbo and Ramon
 Noyaro Star in Clam
 orous Spy Play

What, a French gambling ca sino without roulette?"
 That's the question Director George F,ritzmaurice had to an- swer during the filming of lavish gambling scenes for 'lMata Hari," in which Greta Garbo and Ra- mon Novarro are co-starred by Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer, and which will be shown for the last times tonight at the Capitol theatre.
 The locale of the story is Paris in the early days of the World War and the gambling casino is supposed to represent a fashion able rendezvous located just out side the capital.
 Card Games Only
 Only chemin de fer and other card games were allowed at the gaming tables on the film set.
 The reason for the absence of roulette equipment explained by Fitzmaurice, native of Paris, is because the wheel game has been banned in France for many years, contrary to the general idea of Parisian gambling. Possession of roulette wheels, he said, brings se- were prison sentences and fines that prohibit taking chances" by gaming operators.
 Notorious Woman Spy
 The story of "Mata Hari" is based on the life of the notorious dancer whose intrigues as a spy during the World War resulted in her execution by French firing squad. This famous woman was as well known for her love af- fairs as for her espionage man. euvers and it is on this aspect of her life that the plot of the picture is centered. Garbo, of course, plays the fascinating dan cer.
 Besides Miss Garbo and Novarro the cast includes Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone, C. Henry Gordon, Karen Morley, Alec B. Francis Blanche Frederici, Edmund Breese Helen Jerome Eddy and Frank Reicher.
