FARLEY DECISION
!. DUE BY SATURDAY
Observers See Trouble Ahead
; for Roosevelt, No Matter
r. What His Verdict.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, February 18.-Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt today was ponder
ing whether the facts justified removal
Of New Yorks Tammany sheriff, Thomas
NJ. Farley.
Whatever he decides, the decision
promised to make enemies for Presi-
Dental Candidate Roosevelt in i'm
portant quarters. Political observers
believed Tammany would not easily for
give Farley's dismissal, for he Is a
leader In the wigwam. If the decision
should be in Farley's favor. they saw
trouble for the Roosevelt candidacy IN
the South and West, where having
Tammany for a foe is something for
candidate to boast about. Some OF Mr.
Roosevelt's strongest supporters are IN
those sections.
Decision Due Saturday.
At the close of a two-day hearing on
the charges brought against Farley ny
Samuel Seabury, counsel for the !eglS-
lative committee investigating New VOTE
CITY. the Governor indicated last night
until about Sunday.
Mr.. Roosevelt called upon Farley TO
sneak for himself at the hearings here
the last two days. He gave no mol-
cation as to his opinion after Farley
and his counsel finished their explana-
tious of the $357,000 bank deposits
which Seabury made the bassis Tor MS
custer demand.
However, before they had completed
their defense, the Governor salo tnen
explanations still left about $25o,ooo
unexplained.
The Farley defense was that Seabury
did not take into consideration tnat
many Of the sums shown in the sherlns S
deposits were handled many times pe-
caiIse of his official duties and because
Of his position as a political leader.
Unexplained. He Says.
seabury said he did not understand
wtv the Governor did not remove
Farley at once. He said testimony
which had not been contraolcteo
showed him guilty Of appropriatlng In,
terest funds belonging to others ana
that Farley was utterly unable" to
explain his swollen funds"
Saving "the people of New York have
no one to appeal to except you" Seanury

THREE BOYS
GET SHORT
JAIL TERMS

Three youths were sentenced to
the county Jail today by Judge A.
c. Finney because, while wards of
the juvenile court, they violated the
terms of their wardship and took
part in unlawful activities.
Two of the. boys were wards of
the court after admitting two store
burglaries in 1881, and George
Wright, Imperial police chief, de-
clared he has had considerable
trouble with the other, who also
was a ward of the court.
The latest escapade of the youths
was the theft of clothing and other
goods from a parked automobile,
and the theft by one of a woman's
pocketbook from a table at an I'M
perial dance hall.
The boys are Marion Evans, IT.
who was sentenced to go days in
the county Jail, William Glaze, IT,
who was sentenced to as days, and
w. C. Pinson, 19, who received a
80 day sentence. Following the ex-
piration of their terms they are
to remain wards of the court for
a fixed time.

HART ENJOYS
HIS FREEDOM

Lewis Hart is at Los Angeles to-
day, enjoying what may be his last
few days of freedom before he is
sentenced to San Quentin prison
for term of from one to IA years
Imprisonment for grand theft, to
which he pleaded guilty in a sur
prise move before the superior court
here yesterday afternoon.
With Hart were Louis r. Rogas-
ner and Simon Newman, who also
entered pleas of guilty, but asked
for probation. Arthur Goldberg,
Percy Pickerel and Bernard Phil
lips did not change their pleas, and
will go to trial January 16.
RogaSner and Newman are to ap-
pear in court Saturday morning for
a hearing on their applications for
probation. Hart will be in Ell Cen
tro January 4 to hear himself SEN
fenced to the penitentiary. He is
free on $4,000 bond.
Should probation be granted
Rogasner and Newman, one of the
terms imposed upon them will be
that all available promissory notes
taken in an alleged stock swindle
in Imperial Valley during the sum-
mer of 1929 shall be turned over
to the probation office, to be re-
turned to the signers. On this
condition the district attorney prob
ably will recommend probation.
Hart and the others, by chang
ing their pleas to guilty, made pos
sible a great saving to Imperial
county, officials said today. Al
though three of the asserted stock
promoters still remain to be tried,
their trial will be much shorter and
less expensive than would one in
which all of the defendants were
pleading not guilty.
In the original grand jury indict-
ment the Los Angeles men were
charged with more than 10 counts
of grand theft, violation Of the
aClifornia corporate securities act,
and conspiracy to violate this act.
One trial resulted in hung jury.
It was the longest criminal trial in
the history of this county.
The men were charged with SELL
ing stock in a holding company un-
der the representation that it was
stock in an insurance company. VIC

PUBLIC DANCE.
WEDDINGS HIT

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30. U.P)-
Public dance hall marriages were
scored today by Superior Judge
Charles l.. Bogue in annuling the
marriage of Charles c. Delk, 20,
of Los Angeles, to Winifred Bush
Delk, 20, of Oakland.
The couple were married just
after thew had won a marathon
dance in San Francisco
Dek's public marriage to the girl
was a "travesty on the home and
married life", Judge Bogue said,
and his conduct "in treating the
marriage VOWS so lightly was not
in accord with common ideas of
decency."
The youth said he thought it was
all right to go through with the
ceremony as there were a number
of officials and prominent persons
present.
Mrs. Delk was not in court, but
through a guardian, wrote con-
corning the suit:
II did not know that I was sup
posed to appear in court. 1 can't
understand why there seems to be
so much fuss about this annul-
ment. I've gotten two before and
didn't have any trouble"
