Way back before Volstead, Pro-
fesSor B. D. Leith of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, above, was
working on a new barley strain
that would be without annoying
barbs on the stalks.
Now, after twelve years, he be-
lives he's got it, and that if con-
greSs legalizes brewing, brewers
will have the best barley to work
with they've ever had.
It's called Barbless Barley Pedi-
gree 38, and the professors hold
ing a sheaf of it.

NOTE In BOTTLE
BELIEVED FROM
LOST ALRPLANE

HONOLULU. March 8. up - A
scrawled note found in a bottle at
sea was believed today to be the
farewell message of Mildred Doran
Michigan school teacher, who went
to her death with two men conf
panions in the Dole flight of 1927.
Victor Alani found the barnacle-
encrusted bottle while fishing be-
tween Laie and Kahuku on the
windward side of Oahu island. The
note apparently written on paper
torn from a sack, read:
Motor missing. All hope gone
We estimate it is 700 miles to
Oahu. God bless you all. Mildred
Doran."
Authorities said the signature
will be checked to determine the
possibility of a hoax. They pointed
out that the note was dater August
%, 1927, whereas the flight started
August 16, II days before The
chances of their plane, the Miss
Doran," remaining afloat that
length of time was remote, aviation
experts said.
Augie Pedler, the pilot, and
Velas r. Knope, navigator, and a
navy petty officer attached to the
cir squadrons at North Island, San
Diego. Calf, perished with Miss
Doran.

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 8. U.P)
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh took
over today almost singlehanded the
task of getting back his kidnapped
son, Charles A, jr.
New Jersey police, while still en-
deavoring to solve the mystery and
ready to aid the kidnapers in re-
storing the child to the colonel and
his suffering wife, Anne Morrow
Lindbergh, were virtually suppressed
ed by the youthful flyer and his
immediate associates, Col. Henry
Breckenridge, his mother -in-law,
Mrs. Dwight Morrow, and Mrs.
Lindbergh.
Lindbergh made it plain to the
state police that he did not want
his wires tapped or his mail read
by the police, and they were COM
PEELED to confine themselves to two
tasks:
l. Patrolling the estate to keep
away the curious or others with no
valid business at the Sourland
mountain estate from which last
Tuesday night the baby was kid
naped.
2. Checking over tips from New
Jersey and other points as to "mys-
terious cars" mysterious strangers
with babies" and strange hide
always which might shelter a stolen
baby

THREE BILLS TO
SET UP RECORD
ON PROHIBITION
Fence Straddlers To Be
Smoked Out AS Votes
Are Called.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, March g. -
Three impending prohibition votes
in congress will soon put the en-
tire membership on record for the
election campaign.
They will add one of the most
significant chapters to the long
story of the prohibition decade. II
is a welcome opportunity for those
who have been sailing under their
true colorS whether dry or other
wise. But for those who would like
to go through this campaign car
rying water on one shoulder and
liquor on the other, it is a cause for
acute insomnia.
The three impending test votes
are:
l. To tax malt syrup and other
ingredients of home brew and wine.
2. To legalize 2.75 per cent beer
and tax it.
3. To bring up a proposed re-
pealer of the 18th amendment.
These votes will shake out many
congressman who have been hiding
uP OllC blS1. Will OCl VIC dlOO
as a guide for bewildered Republi-
can party leaders, who are debat-
ing whether to dampen the party's
national platform this year.
The chief argument used for a
rejudgment of the question is that
more than 100000 persons have
reached voting age since federal
nI,iIN;fin,, ,,NfA
visionists believe they should have
an opportunity to say whether they
want to go on with the experiment.
The tax bill just reported out
carries a provision for a tax of
5 cents a gallon on wort, 35 cents
a gallon on malt syrup, and 40
per cent on grape concentrates.
All three products are non-alcoholic
but the wort and malt syrup are
basic in home brewing. Grape con-
centrate needs only water and air
to turn to wine
Many drys oppose the provision
because it would be levied on pro-
ducts just before they cross the al
coholic line. Prohibition enforce
ment officials privately are strongly
opposed to it. They feel these pro-
ducts should not have this inferen-
tial sanction.
The proposal to legalize 275
per cent beer is to be offered as
an amendment to the tax bill with
proposed tax of SIS a barrel. 1t
is sponsored by Representative
Cullen DemD New York. He says
it is hypocritical to tax beer in
gradients while outlawing them af-
ter nature has acted.
The proposed repeater of the 18th
amendment will be up Monday
when the house votes on whether
to consider the measure.
Indications are only the malt,
wort and grape concentrate tax has
a reasonable chance of adoption.

WATER TOLLS AND CHARTER
UP AT DISTRICT MEETING

Fullest cooperation between di-
rectorS and officials of the Imperial
Irrigation district and members Of
the Imperial County Farm bureau
was assured this morning when rep
resentatives of the farm organiza-
ton appeared before the district
board with announcement that
plan for obtaining money i'll the
present crisis is in process of for
mutation.
John l.. Dubois, president of both
the district board of directors and
farm bureau directors are unani-
nous in wishing to cooperate in any
plan which would save the taxpayers
and farmers money. Other board
members expressed their willingness
to cooperate to the fullest extent.
E. T. Hewes was spokesman for
the farm bureau. He said he and
his fellow bureau members fully
realized the position of the district
directors and wished to find some
means to avoid forcing the farmers
who already have paid, to bear the
brunt of the water charge to go
into effect March 16
When asked if he wished to pre-
sent a plan at this time, Hewes said
the plan was not sufficiently work
ed out at this time but would be
soon. He was told to come before
the board when ready. HeweS ex-
pressed appreciation for the attitude
of the board and promised the CO.
operation of the farm bureau.
Earl v. c. Northrup, also a men,
ber of the farm bureau delegation,
apparently expressed the opinion of
a majority of those present when
he said, THE people of Imperial
Valley are not the kind of people
TO quit. We are not broke yet and
we won't give up" He urged that
the water be shut off of those
lands which refuse to pay the wa
ter charge and thus avoid forcing
the man who pays to foot the bill
for the one who cannot or will not
pay.
Who Shall Pay?
Harry Horton, local attorney,
made a suggestion which led to i'm
mediate action on the part of the
directors He said there is contro-
versy between landowners and those
to whom they have leased their
property as to the one designated
to pay the water charge. Horton
said several clients had come to
him for information as to who must
pay the bill. He suggested that the
question be cleared up before the
water charge goes into effect.

GIRL ARRESTED
AS LEADER OF
DEARBORN RIOT
Four Killed And % Hurt
In Radical Outbreak At
Ford Plant.

DETROIT, March 8. UP)-Riot-
ing of unemployed at the Ford
plant yesterday in which four men
were killed and % were hurt, has
resulted in mobilization of the Ma
tional Guard and arrest of Is al
legged mob leaders, including the
defiant girl who shouted:
Come on you - cow
ards"
The grim faced girl, Mary Goss-
man, her shabby blue dress still
stained with the blood of her slain
sweetheart who died in her arms,
was in a fighting mood as she faced
her police accusers today.
"Yes, I was there. I'm not sorry.
I did it for starving millions. Blame
capitalism which is the cause of all
suffering. Now don't talk to me"
the fearless woman shouted.
Police charge the rioting of the
5000 jobless men and women at the
River Rouge plant was planned by
Communists. Sticks, stones, tear
gas and bullets were used by police
and rioters before the disturbance
was quelled.
The Ford organization disclaimed
all blame for the riot. An official
statement from the company said:
"The Ford company has en-
ployed more men, more continuously
and at higher wages than any other
industrial plant or aggregation of
plants of the same size in the De-
troit area.
During recent months it has re-
placed more former employees
names on the payroll than any 9TH
er firm.
"If Detroit wants an explanation
of such demonstrations as that just
ended, Detroit should look to the
leaders who recruited the rioters
and the source from which their
men were drawn.
There were no Ford men in the
mob. We have learned the number

COURTS RULING
HEAVY BLOW TO
MARION DEFENSE
Prohibits Introduction Of
Self-Defense Testimony
AS Proper Evidence.

A stunning victory for the state
in a technical argument dealing
with legal practice today had
brought the murder trial OF Daniel
d. Marion and Mrs. Inez Marion
Unexpectedly near its close, with
attorneys in the midst of closing
arguments to C1e jury at press
time, and with the prospect the
case will be placed in the hands of
the jurors tomorrow.
Because Judge Vaughn N.
Thompson ruled District Attorney
Elmer W. Heald and D H. Wolford,
his chief criminal deputy, victors
yesterday afternoon in an argu-
ment dealing with admissability
of self-defense evidence when no
act of aggression on the part of
Alberto Garcia, the slain man, at
the time of the killing, was proved,
testimony of Marion and other de-
fense witnesses was decidedly
limited.
Mrs. Marion was not even called
to the witness stand, and testimony
of other witnesses called by Edgar
B. Hervey and M. w. Conkling,
defense counsel, dealt only with
the character of Mr.. and Mrs.
Marion, in no case relating to the
Staying of Garcia, or to the events
leading up to the killing.
Their case crippled by Judge
Thompson's ruling, Hervey and
Conkling were straining every ef-
fort toward an appeal, watching
closely the phraseology of their
questions, objections and offers
District Attorney Heald and his
deputy, also, were taking great
pains to keep the court record
clear of any error which might
cause a reversal of the jury's ver-
dict, should it be conviction.
Ruling Repeated
AS Wolford said in opening the
states arguments this morning,
this case has been tried to a great
extent without jury" Explaining
to some extent the several times
the jury was sent from the court
room during yesterday afternoons
session, Wolford said: I'VE have
attempted to hold this case along
the lines laiG down by the statute
books
Judge Thompsons ruling yester-
day afternoon, repeated in effect
several times this morning when
defense counsel renewed efforts to
introduce testimony regarding
previous relations between Marion
and Garcia, was that before events
building up a self-denfense story
could be introduced into evidence
there must be proof of some actual
act OF aggression by the slain man
at the time and place of the
killing.
The jury was excused while at
torneys argued this point, and again
when Conkling stated to the court
the things the defense hoped to
prove, and of which he offered to
present proof. The court denied
the defense offer of testimony. This

LINDBERGH AND
POLICE OFFICER
in WARM CLASH

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 8. U.P)
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and
Capt. John j. Lamb, in charge of
state police stationed at the Lind
bergh residence, engaged in a warm
argument today over the handling
of telephone calls coming into the
home.
Colonel Lindbergh has insisted
upon personally handling all calls
that come to his home bearing upon
the kidnapping of his son, since he
has pledged himself to offer all
possible protection to the kidnapers
provided they return his baby.
Last Sunday he learned that a
state trooper had been stationed
in the Hopewell Telephone ex-
change and has been listening in
on each call to the Lindbergh
home, the United Press was ad-
vised. He protested to the tele-
phone company and the police were
forthwith ordered to discontinue
this practice. Colonel Lindbergh
agreed to permit policeman to
stay in the telephone exchange, but
only to facilitate the tracing of any
call he might personally request.
This morning he walked into the
house and found Captain Lamb
talking on the Lindbergh private
telephone.
What are you doing on that tel
ephone?" Colonel Lindbergh was
quoted as demanding.
1T rang and answered it," Lamb
is said to have replied.
Colonel Lindbergh was obviously
irritated.
Il want it understood very clear
ly now" he was quoted as saying,
that you nor any other policeman
is ever to touch a telephone in this
house."
But, Colonel" Captain Lamb
demonstrated, only to be interrupt
ed.
II want you police to realize that
you are here through my courtesy,
SO please refrain from interfering
with my business" the colonel was
quoted as replying.
Captain Lamb then left the house
and went to the garage where the
state police are quartered.
Reports have persisted that rela-
tionS between members of the Lind
bergh family and state police have
been somewhat strained and it was
said today that Colonel Lindbergh
is permitting state troopers to re-
main on his estate only because
they serve to keep an army of near
ly 200 reporters and photograph
erS away.

HIT AND RUN
MOTORIST HELD
WHEN TWO DIE

WOODLAND, Calf, March 8.
U.P)-TWo Seattle youths are dead
and Fred l.. Swinson, Sacramento
motorist, was held on manslaugh-
ter charges at the Yolo county Jail
today as the result of a hit-and-
run accident on the state highway
two miles west of the Davis cause
way last night.
Those killed were identified as
Charles Toms, 81, son of a Seattle
police lieutenant, and M Roach,
son of M. j. Roach of Seattle.
An unusual feature of the
tragedy is the fact that SWinson
was being chased by two Yolo
traffic officers for speeding at the
time his car struck the boys.
The officers did not know that
the speeding car had struck the
youths until they had stopped it
and had handed a ticket to Swim
son. They noticed blood spattered
on the machine, went back on the
highway and discovered the two
bodies.

Rumanian Honor
Awarded Kansan

NEWTON, Kans., March 8. U.P)
Despite the fact that he did not
see service overseas, Ira H. Burke
Of Newton has been selected by Ru-
mania to be knighted in recognl-
ton of his services to that country
in the World war.
Under the impression there was
some mistake, Burke returned the
elaborate insignia the first time
he received it. He was a captain
during the war.
But the Rumanian legation at
Washington advised him there was
no mistake, and his credentials as a
knight of the Star of Rumania
came back second time. He still
doesn't know just why
