Employer Ordered
To Pay LabOrers

r.. Samaha must pay two Mex
leans wages he refused to pay
when they were discharged, or face
a $50 fine or rs days imprisonment
on each of two counts charging
failure to pay employees on their
discharge.
Samaha was found guilty by
Judge B. F. Gruble of Calipatria
after a two day trial at which R.
I. French represented the district
attorneys office. z. Kobashigawa,
Samahas foreman, was found not
guilty on both counts. The trial
lasted through Friday and Satur-
day.
Samaha contended that the Jap
anese foreman employed the two
men without his knowledge, and
therefore was responsible for their
wages.
Judge Gruble imposed fines of
$50 with alternatives of rs days
,mprisonment in each of the two
cases, withholding commitments

REPORT INDIAN
SLAYER LIKELY
TO GET BETTER

A life which can bring to him
only trial on charge of murder
ing his four-year-ol daughter
seemed assured today to Ambrose
Brown, 45, as he remained at the
Ft. Yuma hospital on Indian Hill
overlooking the Colorado river, un-
der technical arrest by federal au-
thorities.
The Indians miraculous recov-
cry seemingly has been hastened
by his excellent physical condition
Although there remains danger
that he will die from self-inflicted
wounds, there is a greater chance
that he will recover, the attend
ing physician said this morning.
The body of Annabelle Brown
the Indians motherless daughter
was cremated at the Yuma reser-
vation Saturday afternoon while
hospital attendants were removing
a rubber breathing tube from
Browns throat.
The Indian suffered an attack of
unconsciousness Immediately after
the tube was removed, but is
breathing normally today, and is
able to take food in the normal
way.
An inquest Saturday morning and
afternoon brought out only the de-
tails of evidence which had been
obtained by Tom Sharp, district
attorneys investigator, and Under
sheriff Rodney Clarke, on the
night Brown cut his daughters
throat with an axe and then turn
ed the weapon on himself.
His act was inspired by the fear
his daughter would be taken from
him. This was last Wednesday
night.
Edmund J. Geehan, federal in
vestigator, said late last week that
the case will be taken before a
federal grand jury. Should Brown
be indicted, he will be tried in fed
eral court.

STATE FORESTER
Playing Politics Charge
Made Against Pratt By
Governor.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. "a. UP)-
State Forester M. B. Pratt today
loomed as the next state official to
be ousted by Gov. James Rolph jr.,
in his shakeup of the Rolph ad-
ministration
Returning from a trip through
northern California, the governor
indicated he would remove Pratt for
playing politics" upon the recon-
mendation of Rex Black, chairman
of the California labor camp COM
mittee.
William Schofield of Eureka, tim
ber appraiser for the state board
of equalization, and formerly secre-
tary of the Humboldt County Refor-
estation ASSOCIATION, is slated for
appointment as Pratt's successor, it
was understood.
The politics" referred to by the
governor, was in connection with
the campaign of Justice Hugh L.
Preston for the appellate court
bench at the state primary election.
State Forester Pratt denied that
he had engaged in politics in any
way and declared his proposed re-
moval was the result of a 'grudge"
against him by Black, who was am
bilious to have the great timber in
terests of the state control the
whole state forestry program.
rI'm going to be boss of this ad-
ministration or know the reason
why the governor said. II don't
propose to have a lot of fellows
knitting me in the back and holding
onto nice juicy jobs with the state"
Rolph asserted that Blacks pro-
gram was to transfer Pratt from his
present job to head the California
state nursery.

SPEECHES PLANNED
Another Invasion OF Mid

Be Staged.
BY HENRY f. MISSELWITZ
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-U.P)
President Hoover may wind up
his vigorous personal campaign for
reelection with dramatic trans
continental dash during the last
few days before the election.
The contemplated "whirl wind
finish" would be trip to his Palo
Alto, Calf, home, so timed that
he could make two more appeals
for support in the middlewest, with
speeches probably at Chicago and
Indianapolis. Other stops on the
tentative trip being considered afe
Minneapolis, st. Louis, Kansas
City, Denver, Salt Lake City and
San Francisco.
However the official program at
present only calls for a speech in
New York next Monday night.
A fourth offensive into the
doubtful middlewest has been
tentatively decided on regardless of
the fate Of the proposed Califor-
mia trip The President might make
the middlewestern trip, speaking
at Chicago and Indianapolis either
late this week, or Immediately af-
, ter his address in Madison Square
garden, it was said.
In event he makes up his mind
to go to the west, the middlewest
speeches would probably be made
on the way.
Regardless of how he decides on
these final intensive phases of the
campaign, one thing is certain =
the President is going to keep
on the front page" from now until
election day with statement and
speeches taking issue with his
Democratic opponent, Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, and in defense of
his administration.
He was pleased with receptions
on his old-fashioned campaign
swing across West Virginia, Ohio
and into Michigan on his way to
Detroit last Saturday.
The hostile demonstration at De-
troit, where he heard "boos" from
a crowd at the station and along
the drive to Olympia arena, failed
to disturb him seriously.
Persons who talked with him
about it said that rather than feel
ing perturbed, the Presi e n
thought the reaction might prove

Charles Owen Woodfill, former tell

Santa Ana, was placed on five
years probation by Federal Judge
Paul j. Mccormick today, for en-
bezzling 5000 from the bank.
Judge Mccormick took occasion
to criticize sharply the alleged ex-

former figure in Santa Ana socie-
ty.
I'm sorry your wife is not here
to listen to what the court has to
say" Judge Mccormick said. RE
ports of probation officers indicate
you both were living far beyond
your means, and I think your act
was partly due to her extrava-
gance."
Woodfill jumped to his feet in
defense of his wife, denying she
was responsible.
"I'd expect you to say that" the
court commented.

ODlter PreSS starr correspondent
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 24.-Frank-
lin Roosevelt is giving such in
creased attention to his cabinet
and legislative-economic program
in event of victory two weeks from
Tuesday, that many friends with
him here believe he will resign as
governor of New York soon after
the election.
Such talk is dismissed by the
governor, even as he has dismissed
speculation on a presidential cab
met as premature" Cabinet talk
has included principally discussion
of Alfred E. Smith and some of
Miss Frances Perkins, New York
state industrial commissioner. DEM
ocratic National Chairman James
A. Farley and Melvin Traylor, Chi
cago banker, also are mentioned.
The governor does not consider
his visit here a part of the poll
tical campaign, although he is a
guest of honor at luncheon
planned today by Mayor John S.
Cohen, vice chairman of the DEM
ocratic national committee. The
governor plans a major speech here
tonight.

Rep. Hamilton Fish, Jr., N. Y,
after conference with President
Hoover today issued statement
attacking Gov Franklin D. Roose-
velt for pussy footing and duck
ing of such an issue as the recog-
milton of Soviet Russia"
Fish quoted Roosevelt as writ
ing as follows to a New York news
paper in reply to inquiries on whe-
ther he would recognize Russia if
elected:
81 am sorry to say that I can
not comply with your request to
give you a definite statement on
my attitude toward the recogni-
tion of Russia You must realize
that as governor of New York I
have had to give my attention for
the last three years to state mat
ters."
Fish then said:
Most radicals in the country
are in favor of the recognition of
Soviet Russia, and in view of the
charges made against Governor
Roosevelt as being a radical or
being aligned with the radicals, the
public has right to know before
election day his attitude on this
issue.
Il challenge him to state with
out evasion where he stands on
the recognition of Soviet Russia,
the sales tax, the dole and to spe-
city what items he believes are too
high in the present tariff bill and
where he stands on the sugar. oil
and lumber tariff. He has re-
manned strangely silent on these
important issues
