OUTCOME IN IDAHO
REMAINS IN DOUBT
eenator Thomas and Gov. Ross in
Hard Fights to Retain Their
Positions.
BY T. r. EVANS.
Epecial Dispatch to The Sta

&pecial Dispatch to The star
BOISE. Idaho November 5.-The
heavy bombardment on the Idaho front
will not die down until the eve of cleo
don day, and the result of the two major
contests, that for United States Senator
and that for Governor, cannot be def
nitely told until after the final vote is
counted
Idaho is normally Republican State.
Democratic candidates under ordinary
conditions are doomed to the role OF
also rams But the 1882 campaign is no
ordinety campaign.
Icnfo Democrats declare the election
E sin the bag"-but their prediction has
more of note of hope than the ring
of positive conviction. For publication"
the Republicans are equally positive OF
victory. but even a casual observer can
not fail to detect their nervousness and
apprehension.
Perhaps the Democratic prediction OF
q landslide for Roosevelt and the DEM
ocratic ticket would be justiflable, ex-
cept for the fact that the newly organ
lied Liberty party has gained strong
following among the discontented ele-
ment in several sections of the State.
In the presidential campaign, Roose-
vent apparently has the edge, although
Idaho must still be left in the uncer-
tain column.
Idaho's senatorial battle between Sen
ator John Thomas, Republican incum-
bent, and Mayor James P. Pope of Boise,
Democrat, might have an important
bearing on the fight to gain majority
control of the Senate Senator William
T. Borah, himself not candidate, has
spent the last two weeks actively cam
paigning for his colleague, Thomas who
is said to be too i'll to take the stump.
Until Borah entered the fight, Pope ap-
peared an almost certain victor.
Borah's support of Thomas has cut in
on the following gained by Pope's active
campaign. If Thomas wins, he has
Berah alone to thank for his success.
Second only to the fight for Thomas
Senate seat is the gubernatorial cam
paign for reelection. He is opposed by
Byron Defenbach, former State treas
urer. Ross is conceded the inside track
in a close battle

than any Democratic ticket has re-
ceived since 1872.

going strongly for the Roosevelt
Garner ticket The seven Demo-
cratic nominees for Congress are
regarded as elected now.

All the Democratic nominees, both
National and State, will win in

Senator Cutting, and the Demo-
Gratis, the electoral votes Of New

LONG CRIMINAL
CAREER ENDED
BY GRIM REAPER

OAKLAND, Sept. 3. U.P)-Robert
Emmitt Hickey, ga, who was Oak
lands bad boy" 81 years ago, and
San Quentins youngest convict is
dead.
He had been in and out of prisons
all his life-mostly in them. The
years had taken his relatives and
friends. When his time came to
die, his only farewell message was to
"the coppers who will have to look
up a new fall guy
Theft of 81 worth of candy and
toilet soap set Hickey's feet, at 13,
on the penitentiary path,
In the years that lay between
them and his death, Hickey had
served six penitentiary sentences
in San Quentin, Folsom, Kansas
and Utah, four of them in Califor-
mia prisons.
There we're no places to send juv-
emile delinquents half a century ago.
The child of 13 who served a term
of two years for a 81 burglary,
came out of prison stepped in crime
lore and ready for anything.
In 1886, at 18, he was back at
San Quentin, cracksman sought
by police from coast-to-coast. Kan
sas took him in 1891-Utah in 1904
San Quentin again in 1911, and
Folsom in 1913.
Quit Crime
He came out of Folsom deter
mined to quit crime and work for
his living.
"It doesn't pay" he told police
officers. I'm through"
But police did not believe him.
Once a yegg, always yegg, they
figured, and for 18 years they ar
rested him as suspected yegg," or
for investigation, the record
sheets show.
From California to Connecticut
his name appeared on records un-
der various names. A few days
ago they took him to Fresno gen.
eral hospital, in a serious condi-
ton. The "old CON-" they said
would not live. Was there any
message he would like to send?
Hickey pondered. Relatives?
friends? he had none.
There were only the cops. May
be Charles Stone, veteran criminol-
ogist at the California state bureau,
might like to know.
They asked me who L wanted
to write to, if she was curtains. 1
told them you was the only man
who could close the book and turn
the picture to the wall. Tell
the cops they'll have to find a new
fall guy, now"

Argument Nearly
Results Fatally

A flare Of temper which resulted
in one shot fired from a shotgun,
but did not cause any injuries ex-
cept to the feelings of the partici-
pants, already had burned and died
yesterday afternoon when Don
Campbell arrived to quel the
trouble which had been reported
few minutes before.
Campbells report at the sheriff's
office said that Jim White, Negro,
had engaged in a heated argu-
ment with James Gibson, another
Negro, and his family. White lost
his temper and left the Gibson
place a mile north Of the railroad
track crossing the Dogwood road
north of El Centre. He ran across
a field to G. z. Lewis, who was
dove hunting.
Shouting that he would kill them
both" according to Campbell,
White snatched Lewis shotgun and
returned to the Gibson place. Glib
son later told Campbell that the
gun was discharged once while Ross
Mason. also colored, was wrestling
with White for its possession.
The explosion apparently cooled
Whites ardor, for he then left the
place and did not return.

ALIENS USE OLD
SLAVE ROUTE TO
ENTER COUNTRY

SANDUSKY, o., Sept. 8. U.P)-
The route which fleeing slaves once
used to escape from the United
States into Canada now is being
used reversely by aliens seeking to
enter the United States from Can
ada.
United States border patrolmen
state that their chief duty these
days is to prevent the transnorta-
ton of aliens across Lake Erie.
They say that the Canadian shore
from Amherstburg and Sandwich
through the Point Pelee is thick
eted and skirted with marshlands
just as is the Ohio shore from Mar
blehead, across Sandusky bay, to
Toledo. 1t was these same sections
of shore line which afforded sane
tuary for slaves who sought their
freedom in Canada.
Foreigners apparently are un-
daunted by the hard times and
scarcity of jobs in the United States,
patrolmen say, and are willing to
take almost any kind of risk to
get into this country.
Fishermen and runners ply
back and forth across the lake un-
der cover of darkness. And the
rum-runnerS are especial centers
of attention. Now that the de-
mand for Canadian liquor in the
United States has decreased con-
siderably, they will gladly bring an
alien across for a few dollars.

LEADER EXPLAINS
MOVEMENT TO OBTAIN LOANS

so widely distributed, would result
I in more widespread and permanent
good than a loan of the same
amount for new projects which
create at best only temporary en-
ployment. 1t is Just as important
to keep those employed who are
now employed as it is to create
employment for those now unem-
ployed.
In effect, loans to irrigation dis
tricts are construction loans for
it would mean the repairing, re-
storing and improving of the dis
integrating industrial structure OF
the farming industry. The holding
of farm labor on the farm at q
living wage is far more important
than to find temporary work for
him on new bridges, highways or
new post office buildings.
Loans to irrigation districts
would be safe and amply secured
and among the beneficial results
would be the following:
Cd 1t would relieve the farmer
of the high charges now necessary
to meet the high interest rates on
the present bonds, as well as the
principal of the bonds now falling
due, by extending the maturities OF
the districts indebtedness.
90 1t would enable the farmer
to expend that extra money, if he
can make it, in purchasing neces-
sary farm implements and goods OF
all kinds and thus aiding industry
all along the line.
90 It would go far to stabilize
the most basic of our industries,
that of agriculture.
(4) 1t would prevent hundreds
of farmers from losing their farms
and homes.
60 1t would prevent thousands
of farm laborers and the sons and
daughters of farmers from leaving
the farm to seek employment else
where, and thus prevent such addi-
tions to the unemployed.
(6) 1t would distr butte the
amount of the loans among thou
sands of small bondholders, thus
enabling them to use the money
for other purposes, and again help
ing industry of all kinds.
Cd It's effect would be more far
reaching and effect beneficially
more people than would any other
kind of loan that could be made by
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration..
We have not gone into details in
regard to any particular loan, for
naturally and properly investiga-
ton should be made in regard to
each application.
We believe that under the act
Imperial Valley press., 1932-09-03

irrigation districts are eligible as
borrowers from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. We believe
that the irrigation law of Califor-
mia is sufficiently broad to meet
the legal requirement of the cor
poration in the way OF security. If
any change or amendments are
found necessary the state legisla-
ture meets in January next and
undoubtedly any necessary legisla-
ton could be obtained. We believe
they are entitled to consideration;
we believe that such loans will be
OF widespread benefit. Such loans
would not be for the purpose of
bringing more acres of land under
cultivation, but to save those al
ready improved and making 1t
possible for more people to live
and work on the farms.
Representing the irrigation dis
tricts of California and the thou
sands of farmers living therein who
have their all invested in their
farms, and believing that in such
loans you have an opportunity of
giving real emergency relief to an
industry sorely in need, and one
which if helped, will benefit the
entire nation, we ask that you give
these applications for loans your
serious and immediate attention.
Very truly yours,
Irrigation Districts Association
of California.

Executive Vice-President.

JOHNSON
ANIMAL PICTURE
HERE TOMORROW

"Congorilla." the last thing in
wild animal films, and declared by
critics to be the best, is the holi-
day attraction at Fox Imperial air
dome, playing Sunday and Monday.
This film was made by Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin johnson, which should
be a guarantee of its authenticity
to any filmgoer. The Johnsons
have been making pictures in out
of the way places for the past two
decades and their name on a film
is like the stamp sterling" on
silver.
"Congorilla" is their first picture
recorded with sound production.
Over 1000 thrills are shown in the
course of the film, including a
battle between two giant gorillas,
a sight never before recorded on
the camera. Elephants, hippopot-
ami, crocodiles, regiments Of
monkeys of all sizes and shapes,
and the numerous other queer wild
animals of Africa perform before
the camera and the mike"
Practically all of the scenes were
taken along the Congo river and
the Johnsons have added much to
the realm of science because of
this latest adventure.
Tonight the same double bill that
was shown last night will be re-
peated. Doctor X a real thriller,
that will make even grown persons
squirm in their seats, is one half of
the double bill. Relating a weird
tale of murder by a maniac,
Doctor X'' has its serious moments
relieved by the fine comedy acting
of Lee Tracy, who is the hero of
the piece with Fay Wray as the
leading lady. Doctor X" starts
off where other thrill films end,
and its technical set-up reflects
much research and study on the
part of the studio.
Tom Mix as the fairy godfather
Of a boy king, is the other half of
the double bill, appearing in his
latest film, MY Pal, the King"
Tom does a flock of wild west
tricks; in fact, he has a whole
rodeo in this picture and what his
gang of cowboys, equipped with tent
stakes, does to the enemies of the
king is enough to set all the kids
whooping and yelling.
1t is typical Mix picture, though
the action has been transplanted
from the American range to a
mythical European kingdom.

where they intended to board a
train for California.
After firing on the Sharpe car,
the bandits stole an automobile be-
longing to H. J. McQuoWan of
Muskogee. They wrecked the car
few minutes later and fled.

Boxer Victim In
Assault Case

Police court today witnessed the
spectacle of a prize fighter appear
ing before the city judge to demand
official retribution for an assault
on his person.
Wilfred Fuentes, Mexican Adonis
of the prize ring, appeared as COM
planning witness against Micky Nc
Clure, barber, charging that the
latter knocked him down.
Evidence heard by Judge Lee
Nuffer brought out an asserted slur
against McClure's brother, which
was resented by the barber. Fuen-
tes was an innocent bystander, he
said. and merely came to the aid Of
friend, who also had been
knocked down by the irate barber.
Judge Nuffer found Mcclure
guilty, but delayed sentence until

NEGRO LEADER TO
URGE HIS PEOPLE
BACK TO FARMS

WATER VALLEY, Miss, Sept. 3.
U.P)-How TO get the Negro back
to the farm will be the principal
business before the annual session
of the National Rural Religious and
Industrial association, Inc, here
october IL.
DR.. j. M. Williamson, Negro
leader and president of the asso-
citation, believes his people will
thrive best when they are on a
little farm of their own, working
for themselves and away from the
city.
"The trend of civilization al
ways is back to the farm after an
urban movement and now the best
place Is back on the farm" he said.
His association has for many
years been interested in education
al, religious and industrial work
over the south for Negroes.
But the back to the farm move
ment is not confined to the Ne
groes of the south. Already, hun
breads of unemployed in the cities
Of the north among the Negroes
have applied to this association
as to how to return to the land.
Local experiment stations will be
established in every county in this
section to help the people, teach
them how to farm, live at home,
protect their premises, and have
sanitary surroundings.
More than 500 families from the
north already are planning to re-
turn TO farms as soon as arrange
ments can be completed with rail-
roads and landowners.
AT the October meeting, arrange
ments will be made to have tracts
of land cut into small farms, sold
to the industrious man on 20-year
payments, with help for the first
year to start, and to provide good
schools, homes, churches and COM
petent supervisors.

STERN JUSTICE
METED OUT BY
MISSOURI LAW

MACON, Mo, Sept. 3. U.P)-From
worn old volume, Digest of the
Laws of Missouri Territory" Waldo
Edwards. a citizen here interested in
history, has revealed the stern JUS
tice meted out to criminals in pio-
neer Missouri.
Whipping posts, the pillory and
hanging without benefit Of clergy
played their part in the criminal
code of the early settlers.
The volume was published in
1S4S by Henry S. Geyer of st. Louis.
For murder the penalty was
death and there was a clause which
said "the benefit of clergy shall not
be used or allowed upon conviction
of any crime which by statute OF
the territory shall be declared to be
death"
The law provided that the death
penalty was to be inflicted not more
than 200 nor less than 80 days
from the date of the sentence.
Burglary. horse stealing, counter
feiting and bigamy were punishable
at the whipping post. A man con-
victed of burglary could be SEN
fenced to a stiff fine, depending up
on the value of the stolen property,
and 200 stripes we're laid on the
bare back of the defendant"
For horse stealing the fine was
not to exceed $500 and 200 stripes
on the bare back.
The penalty for hog stealing was
not more than 80 lashes and not
less than 25.
The penalty for perjury was an
hour on the pillory, a maximum
fine of $500 and the loss of a num-
Der of free citizens privileges.

Fire Destroys
Actors Ranch

HOLLYWOOD. Sept. 3. U.D =
The ranch home of Harry Carey.
film actor, was destroyed by fire
last night at an estimated loss of
$4,000.
An explosion Of gasoline, when
ranch hand set lantern 100
near a tank of fuel, caused the fire.
Mrs. Carey and the two Carey
children were on the ranch at the
time and with the aid of workers
managed to save some personal be-
longings.
The Carey ranch in San Fran
cisquito canyon was a Hollywood
show place. 1t was restored two
