IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
S1LINAS SOUNDS OFF

GALINAS VALLEYS reported scare Of
a threatened invasion of workers
from Imperial Valleys lettuce field
ought to afford good laugh for those
who reside here
1t is we'll known that most of the day
labor employed here during the lettuce
and cantaloupe seasons is supplied by
migratory workers who follow the crops
from one section of the west to another
as the seasons progress.
Salinas is reported to have issued a
warning to Imperial Valley not to send
men there for work for there were al
ready more laborers on hand than there
was work to provide for them.
Local labor officials are quoted as say
ing that nearly half of those engaged
here this winter in the lettuce fields gave
Salinas and vicinity as their home adj
dress and that in going to that section
now they are merely returning to their
homes.
Imperial Valley has carried heavy
burden throughout recent months in
taking care of migratory workers, wan
derers looking for work and Just plain
wanderers. No word of blame or censure
went out from here to other commun-
tiles. There were notifications that work
was not plentiful here, but when the
workers and non-WorkerS came here in
spite of these warnings they were taken
care of and no howl was made about it.
Permanent residents of Imperial Val
ley are not going to threaten Salinas or
any other section Of the country with an
invasion. They remain here throughout
the year The migratory worker who
is needed here in season, and elsewhere
as the crops demand, is something else
again. Generally speaking he will go
where he believes he can get work and
not even official warning against it will
prevent him from doing so.
If past experience is any criterion, the
howl from Salinas is quite likely to bring
even a greater number of work seekers to
that community.

 The vote for Roosevelt exceeded by about 3O0,000 that given Mir Hoover in 192S.. when he defeated Alfred E. Smith. Returns as yet to be reported are expected to in- crease this total.

 He is general Molony now, al-
 though back in the states this famed soldier of fortune is known as "Colonep' he runs a brewery over in San Pedro Sula but when the call to arms sounded through out the country earlier in the week, Molony offered his services and the Hondurnian government gladly accepteS.
 He is out to quell a postelection uprising, and friends here are cer- tain he is in the field where the fighting is thickest.
 Americans here and back in New Orleans, his one time home. were watching his movements with interest again. They recalled the famous fighter Shonduranian cam paign many years ago, when he was the mainstay in the army Of General Lee Christmas.
 Christmas had been an engineer on banana train in Spanish Hon. duras, He went to New Orleans and organized an expedition to capture the country. Molony, q veteran of half a dozen wars and uprisings, was induced to accom- pany him as Commander of the machine gun regiment"
 On landing at the Central Ann ercian destination, Molony found he was the whole regiment. There was one machine gun and one Burro at his disposal. Nevertheless the expedition carried on. It was decided to take the city of La Ceiba. original scene of the present uprising.

pr. Walter E. Lena Sees Meteoric Shower
 Early This Morning
Famous Celestial Show, Here Once in B Years, Watched From MattatnCk Golf Course Shoot ing Fragments Performed From 3 A. N. to Sum rise Can Be Seen Tomorrow Morning, Too

At least one Waterbury resident observed the celestial show, de- scribed by scientists as "The Le- onids," spectacular meteor shower that can be glimpsed by the eye of man only once in every B years. Dr Walter E. Lena, local dentist, viewed the show from the Mattatuck Country club golf course between o'clock. and sunrise this morning.
 Here's what Dr Lena has to say about it:
 T stood on the ninth tee with my right shoulder toward the ninth green. Just over the horizon, about 3:f5 a. m., the show began. First there was one meteor every five seconds, which continued until about 4 o'clock when they began to approach at the rate of four to five per second. They would start as a small speck of light and as they came toward earth, they in- burned out. This show continued until the sun began to rise then they faded out. This same show can be seen tomorrow morning at the same time. It's good show but hardly worth the price of ad- mission
 Dr Lena became interested In the show through advance notices sent to him by his brother, Dr Hugh F. Lena, of New London who is in charge of the observatory at Dartmouth college.
 A United Press dispatch states that Harvard college scientists were not so successful in, their attempts to view the show. Dr Willard J. Fisher at the Harvard observatory, reported that from to to-day, the leonids were ob- served at the rate of about one per minute.
 Boston, Nov 16.-(UP)-Last night was night for lovers but not for leonids, astronomers re- ported to-day.
 Moonlight obscured most of the shooting stars" that fall in U sparkling rain every 33 years from the vicinity of the constellation Leo and, locally at least, scientists were disappointed.
 At Harvard observatory pr Will lard u. Fisher reported that from , to a. m. to-day leonids were observed at the rate of about ons per minute. This was dull show contrasted with that of 1888 when. under perfect weather conditions. it was estimated the starry seg : inents flashed earthward at the rate of,71000 per second
 It will be some time, however, before the extent of the success of last nights observations can be ascertained.
 At Harvard's Oak Ridge station in the town of Harvard, attempts were made to photograph the leonids so the spectrum of the meteor light could be scientifically analysed. The plates must be developed and studied.

 Recent Election

ried eight. In 1892 MT Hoover's vote was comparable with that of Smith. four years before, while MT Rooseyelt's. vote this year totaled approximately the same as that given the republican candidate four years ago.
 MT Hoover's vote was approxi- mately. 210,000 in excess of that given Smith in 1928.
 In that year MT Hoover's total vote was 21,392,190, while Smiths was 15,016,443. The total pop ular vote for all candidates in 1928. was 36.879,414.
 Woodrow Wilson, the last demo- crat to occupy the White House, won his second term, in 1916, over Charles Evans Hughes, republican, by a margin of slightly less than 100000 votes.
 The tabulations showed an in- creased vote for Thomas, the So- cialist candidate. Tn 1928, running as candidate for the same party, he boiled only 267.420 votes.
 Reports already in gave him ap- proximately twice that number in the election just past, and many states have not yet reported his vote and will not do so until off, cial canvasses are made.
 Int1920. Eugene V. Debs, the So- cialist candidate, boiled 919.799 votes, the largest total ever given a candidate of that party.
 Other minor parties, however, failed to make corresponding in- crease in strength over that re- corded four years ago.
 William 2. Foster. running as the candidate of the workers party in 1928. pol1ed' ,4s.770 votes. Ills showing this year as the Commun- ist candidate, was negligible in states that have reported his vote.
 In several states. among them West Virginia. Oklahoma, and Nevada, the names of minor party candidates were not on the ballots.

STATE SUPREME COURT DEFENDS
 HOUSEHOLDER
Finds Error in Case of Charles Engle, Who Shot Two New Haven Detectives-New Trial Ordered

Hartford, Conn, Nov 16.-(UP) The rights of a householder to defend his person and property are defended in an opinion of the state supreme court of errors granting new trial to Charles Engle. former ly of Chicago. who shot tNo detec- tives who tried to arrest him with out a warrant at New Haven 12 years ago.
 Justice Haines, in an opinion in which the entire bench concurred, ruled there had been prejudicial error in the charge of Superior Court Judge Alfred J. Baldwin to the jury which tried Engle for th0 wounding of Detectives James F.. Currier and John Healy. Judge Baldwin failed to charge the jury on the Connecticut law governing unlawful arrest.
 'It is important that officers of the law shall be protected in the performance of their duty" said the high courts opinion. Tt is equally important for the protec- tion of every peaceable citizen, whatever his station, that they obey the rules of law governing the making of arrests. Where such questions eas are involved in this case arise, it becomes of highest Importance that the courts should correctly define the rights of both parties and the conditions of fact upon which they rest"
 The supreme courts opinion re- cites that Engle and his wife, an expectant mother, were in their boarding house apartment when the detectives asked to be admitted, without telling their police connec- tion. It repeated Engle's conten- ton that he had left Chicago be- cause of threats against his safety and that he fired after Detective Currier had wounded him in the leg.
 The opinion quotes legal prece- dent which holds man unlawfully attacked in his own home may be \ excused for defending himself "cven to the extent of taking the life of his adversary, when neces- isary."
 Sngle escaped after the shoot ing. A few years ago Police Chief Pililip smith of New Haven, on the Pacific coast for police conven- ton, talked with him in San Quen- tiae prison. California, and alleg- cGly obtained Engle's admission to tho shooting. Engle was arrested GEd brought here upon release ftrm San Quentine. x Engle, in interviews, claimed he wws lust an innocent doughnut in- we tor" He claimed to have de- vcsoped a new-style doughnut w'lich he had marketed in Chicago sis ee he left New Haven.
 The court upheld judgments of | ST 'erior Court Judges Arthur F. Ell and John Richards Booth in ac Ions of Lyciano Santoro against l Jscob KIeinberger to recover the | amount of mortgage note on Wa tc; bury real estate.
