SANTA BARBARA
HOME OF FIRST
AMERICAN MEN

SANTA BARBARA, Calf, July
80. U.P)-Belief that the origin OF
man on the American continent
took place here, has been expressed
by DR.. David Banks Rogers, OF the
Santa Barbara Museum of Natural
History.
His research has convinced him
that the cradle of human life on
this continent was at Santa Bar
bara. and was populated by people
who came across Bering Sea from
Siberia.
The scientist believes the Asia
tics were blown across the sea in
small boats. to be followed by 9TH
ers in a migration that continued
for ages.
Ages before the first settlements
in Yucatan, or Central America,
these people followed the coast
down to this region, lured by
game, or landed their boats near
Moro bay, he claims.
The last people to come across
from Siberia probably were the
Shoshones of Utah, Nevada and
California, DR.. Rogers said. They
crossed the Colorado river and
came into California, settling in
the vicinity of Los Angeles and
south to San Diego.
Fierce battles ensued when the
Shoshones attempted to invade the
Santa Barbara country, in the
Point Magu orea.
Discoveries point to the belief
that about 1000 years ago the cli-
mate around Santa Barbara sud-
denly changed. Rainfall ceased,
and the once verdant, tree cover
ed country became sandy and bar
rem.

MAN STABBED
IN HEBER ROW

Anselmo Hernandez, 30, is in a
critical condition at the county hos
pital today and Cipuiano Palomino,
26, is held at the county jail charg-
ed with stabbing Hernandez m-
der the left shoulder with pocket
knife.
Officers are seeking a Mexican
known only as Sacramento for
completely in the stabbing last
night two miles southwest of He
Der.
Harold Gillett and w. S. Keat-
ing placed Palomino under arrest
and sent Hernandez to the hospi-
tai when they were called from
the sheriff's office. Because the
Mexicans talked very little English
the complete story of the fight
which ended in knife play could
not be learned.
1t was ascertained, however, that
a drinking party and a drunken
argument preceded the stabbing.
Palomino and Sacramento attacked
Hernandez, one Of them stabbing
him with a pocket knife. When Of
ficers arrived Hernandez was bleed
ing internally.
Hospital attendants expressed the
belief today that Hernandez will
recover. Should this be the case.
Palomino probably will be charged
with assault with a deadly weapon

girl whose body was found Satur-
day beneath a mattress on a dump
heap a mile from her home.
Almost "a hours OF constant
questioning preceded Arnwine's ad-
mission. He broke down finally,
tangled in web OF conflicting
statements.
"I put my right arm around her
neck" Arnwine said hysterically
land drew her to me and as kiss
ed her I shot her through the
breast"
He contended they had planned
suicide pact, which he failed to
carry out. "She was in love with
me-" Arnwine said, land I liked
her too. Her folks bounded her,
wouldn't let her go out with me,
She couldn't stand it any longer
so we decided to die together"
But after Arnwine had shot
Frances, he couldn't go through
with the pact. II lost my nerve,
he explained.
Frances was the eldest daughter

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. %. UP)
- Congressional Florence P.
Kahn, wet Republican of San
Francisco, was enroute to Wash
ington today to organize wine
bloc" at the forthcoming short
session that will demand that any
modification of the VolStead act
include legalization of wine.
Mrs. Kahn declared there are
several amendments to the Vol
stead act necessary to legalize light
wines and provide a market for
California's $350,O00,000 juice grape
industry.
Congress has for 13 years rec
ognized the Notwithstanding status
of light Wines" she said. "a sec
ton in the Volstead act eXempts
from it's penalties any person
manufacturing non intoxicating
cider and fruit juices for use in
his own home.
IF light wines are non-intox-
icating when made in the home,
they are Notwithstanding when
made anywhere else. Congress
must obey the mandate of the peo-
PIE and legalize openly what the
law has specifically permitted and
tolerated since its passage 13
years ago"

BRITISH NOTE
ON DEBTS To
BE- SENT j. 6.
Text Asserted To Claim Pay
ment Of Installment Would
Be Disastrous.
WRITTEN OVER WEEKEND
Macdonald And Baldwin Will
Seek Support Of Positions
From Parliament.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
limited Press Staff COrreSnoudput

United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Nov. 28-The new
British war debt note drafted over
the weekend, was expected today
to claim that if the United States
insisted on payment of the S95 5,000,-
COO December installment there
would be serious world financial
| repercussionS.
The question of payment or de-
fault would remain unsettled by
the note, it was predicted.
The Daily Mail understood that
Ramsay Macdonald, prime minis
ter; Stanley Baldwin, lord presi-
dent of the council; Neville Cham
berlain, chancellor of the exche-
quer; and Sir John Simon, foreign
secretary; had agreed on such a
note.
Treasury experts were under
stood to maintain that it was i'm
possible for Britain to pay on
schedule. Macdonald summoned
his ministers to 10 Downing street
late yesterday, and their decisions
were embodied in reply to Wash
| ington which full cabinet meet
ing was expected to discuss today.
Macdonald hoped to send the
note to Washington Immediately
after the cabinet meeting and re-
ceive a reply before the end of the
week, it was reported. Quarters
close to the cabinet said the gov
ernment desired the speediest pos
slble action.
1t was expected that Macdonald
and Baldwin would seek immed-
late support from George Lans-
bury, leader of the Labor party in
! the house of commons, and Sir
Henry Samuel leader of an i'm
portant group in the house. This
was to insure unity of action.
| The cabinet ministers sacrificed
the traditional British weekend
| to draft the debt reply.
R. j. c.. Boothby, conservative
member of parliament now in.
Washington, said in a special
cable to the Daily Mail that three
| factors in the American situation
might make it wise for Britain to
make the December payment.
First, there is the growing feel
ing throughout the United States
that Britain has had hard deal.
Second, we must not overlook the
severity of the depression in the
United States and the inherent
gravity of the internal debt posi-
ton. Third, I am reliably in
formed that Governor Roosevelt
has planned comprehensive Tor
eign policy for 1888, embracing
tariffs, debts. disarmament, and
monetary policy" Boothby said.
Roosevelt may well prove a great
president, Boothby said, an q
therefore Britain should not take
steps calculated to increase his
! difficulties.

DEATH CLAIMS
DR.. L BARON
Pioneer Brawley Physician Dies
In Harness While Returning
From Professional Call.

DR.. Eugene LeBaron, 81, pro-
minent and beloved Brawley ply
sician and surgeon and known for
many years as pioneer of I'm
perial Valley, met a lonely death
Saturday night when his heart sud-
denly failed as he was walking to
Westmorland to secure gasoline for
his automobile which had stalled
on a dirt road about seven miles
west of Brawley.
DIR. LeBaron had walked a mile
and three quarters from his auto
mobile when the unusual eXertion
suddenly proved too much for his
ailing heart, and he collapsed. The
body was found at 9 o'clock Sum-
Gay morning four miles south OF
Westmorland.
Suspecting foul play, friends of
the physician called in Coroner A.
r. Underwood and Edward r. Nett,
deputy sheriff, who began an in
vestigation which ended at o.
clock yesterday afternoon when
District Attorney Elmer w. Heald,
Tom Sharp, his investigator, and
Harold Gillett, sheriff's investiga-
tor, found the automobile where
DR.. LeBaron had locked it after
the machine ran out Of gasoline.
The body as it was found Is feet
from the edge of the road, and
tracks leading to it, showed clearly
the manner of death. DR.. LeBaron,
in DEATH still wore his glasses and
his hat. Near the place where his
body was found he dropped a small
! flashlight. In the pockets of his
| trousers were the keys to his car,
$3.50 in a pocketbook, a handker-
chief and a physicians hypoder-
mic set.
Auto Located
Sharp and Gillett, after finding
the automobile, followed DR.. Le-
Baron's tracks. These showed that
he had examined the gas tank,
carefully locked his car, ana set
out. on the walk which ended in
his death. Until within SO yards Of
the place of death the tracks were
normal. There they began to leave
the road.
Investigations of Underwood and
Nett, and of Undersheriff Rodney
Clarke, who joined in the inquiry,
disclosed that DR.. LeBaron left
Brawley at 5 O'Clock Saturday af-
ternoon on a maternity case south
of Westmorland. He was apparent
ly returning from this call when
his car ran out of gas.
The physician survived by his
widow, a daughter, Mrs. Meredith
Wills of Brawley; a son, Eugene
LeBaron, Jr., of Honduras, and two
grandchildren, Meredith Wills, Jr.,
and LeBaron Wills, both of Braw-
ley.
Funeral arrangements were be-
ing completed today. No inquest
will be held, since it developed that
the doctor had complained several
times recently of heart trouble.

DRYS PLAN To
FIGHT REPEAL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-U.PG-
The Ant-Saloon Leagues defensive
strategy against prohibition repeal
and modification will be developed
at a conference here next week.
Leading church and temperance
groups throughout the nation have
been invited TO the sessions. The
meetings will begin Dec. 3-four
days after congress convenes. If
Speaker Garner goes through with
his tentative plans, the house by
that time may already have acted
on a repeal resolution.
The stand of every member in
congress is to be reported TO Gen.
eral Superintendent F.. Scott Nc
Bride by state superintendent and
other Anti-Saloon officials, the
league said, and "a definite pro-
gram of unified action with refer
ence to congress in the 1884 cam
pagn will be adopJeG.'
1t is believed likely the dry lead
ers also will discuss possible court
action to test the constitutionality
of any modification act passed by
congress before the 18th amend
ment is changed.

POLICE READY
FOR MARCHERS
Capital Officers Get Training
For Strenuous Work If Disor-
orders Are Started.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. OPP
A picked police squad is being
trained intensively in the use of
tear gas, in preparation for posi-
BILE disorders when hunger march,
ers converge on the capitol a week
from today.
Fifty men assigned to the squad
have been put through series of
practice maneuvers in laying down
gas barrageS. Stores of tear gas
at each precinct station are being
checked. All police leaves have
been cancelled, effective when the
first marchers arrive in the city,
probably late this week.
While these preparations indi-
cate a stern policy will be followed
in event of disorders, the author
tiles general plans for handling
the hunger marchers remain Sec
ret. 1t is understood that detailed
strategy is being worked out by
Major Ernest w. Brown. new po-
lice chief, in cooperation with the
District of Columbia commission
ers and federal officials.
Officials in Maryland and Vir-
ginia are cooperating in attempt
ing to make it as difficult as pos
sible for the marchers to move
through those states.
The marchers nave been warned
that they will have to shift for
themselves here and in nearby
states.
Hunger march leaders estimate
5000 men and women will be here
for the demonstration scheduled
at the capitol when congress con-
venes next Monday. Police, how
ever, say their reports from other
cities indicate this figure is great
iy exaggerated.

NEVADA HOLDS.
Gas EXECUTION
BY GEORGE d. CRISSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

STATE PRISON, CARSON CITY,
New, Nov. %. Sitting strapped to
a plain wooden chair in a little
one-room building in the state
prison yard, John Hall, 57-year-old
North Carolinan, smilingly breathed
the lethal gas that filled the room
and died at 6:32 a. m. today-the
fifth man in history thus legally
executed.
Hall paid for the penalty for the
murder of John H. "Hardrock"
OBrien near Las Vegas last June
81.
Forty-one witnesses, most of them
police officers, witnessed the execu-
ton through two windows in the
building. Just before He'll was
strapped to the chair, he smiled
and waved farewell to the wit
nesses peering in at at the win
dowS.
The gas generator beside the
chair was turned on at 6:28. -Four
minutes later. Halls bald head
slumped forward and DR.. James
Thorn, prison physician, who was
listening to his heartbeats through
a stethoscope extended into the
death chamber, pronounced him
dead.
The witnesses stood tense. Among
the silent group we're Court Smith,
warden of Folsom prison, and War =
den James B. Holohan Of San Quen-
tin prison, both of California. Smith
turned from the winodw and walk
ed away as Hall nodded his head.
Warden Holohan said the eXecu-
ton seemed to be simple and
humane method OF dIspos;ng OF such
a case" Warden Smith declined 10
comment.
DR.. Leo L. Stanley, chief physi-
clan at San quentin, was another
witness. He said the gas "appar-
emily caused a painless DEATH" and
that convulsions of the face and
throat did not necessarily indicate
physical suffering.

Arizona Dry LalD
Taken off Books

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. %. UP-
Prohibition forces marshalled their
forces for a campaign to agitate
local liquor laws today as the state
bone dry law passed from the
statute books.
From his hospital sick bed, Gov.
George w. p Hunt was to pro-
claim officially results of the gen.
eral election when Arizona voted
repeal by an overwhelming major
ity. The governors action will
permit physicians to prescribe
liquor for medicinal purposes,
druggists to handle prescription
liquor, and clear superior courts
of all prohibiting cases.
Persons serving sentences as
liquor law violators, however, will
not be released, the state board of
pardons indicated.
Arizona has been dry since 1914.
