Lounsbury Back
From Conference

H. E. Lounsbury, Scout executive,
has returned from a Scout execu-
tiYes training course and regional
conference held last week in San
Francisco with headquarters at the
Gift hotel
A complete program covering all
the problems of Scout work and or
ganization was given for the Scout
executives, while the regional con-
ference had for its theme, How To
Promote Growth and Longer Ten
ure".
Lounsbury reports that the local
council has a high standing as far
as Scouting, growth in membership
and activities were concerned but
that it vas weak in its financial
backing. and reported as needing a
larger number OF adults actively
engaged in supporting the work.
Lounsbury states that among the
items scheduled for the next three
months Will be the annual finan-
cial drive. the training course for
Scout leaders, and the organizing
Of deputy commissioners into a
group to act as assistants to the
executive, each commissioner being
in charge of four Scout troops.
These deputy commissioners will act
as a unit under the leadership Of
Ralph Reynolds.

at least give something. None
should hold back because he feels
his donation will be too small. We
want as much as everyone can
give but we do not ask anyone to
iniure himself in giving. We would
prefer to have a small contribution
from every adult in FL Centre,
rather than a few large contribu-
tions, though we hope for as many
large ones as we can get"
j. E. Brook, president of the
Imperial Yuma Boy Scout council,
asserted that the Boy Scout work
is among the most important be-
ing done in Imperial Valley.
Our crops and all our material
wealth will count for nothing" he
said, IF we permit ourselves to
raise bad boys who will develop
into bad citizens OF tomorrow. The
great majority of prisoners up in
San Quentin are under "a years
of age, and they are there chiefly
because they were not given the
proper outlet for boyish energy IL,
their youth.
"One will not find the former
Boy Scouts there. The gangsters
and racketeers we read of SO much
today are just boys who were per-
mitted to waste their leisure hours.
The Boy Scout movement puts
these hours to good use and de-
velops the best characteristics Of
the boy, at the same time helping
him to subdue the less desirable
qualities. A Boy Scout means a
good citizen"

Among other announcements by
Schwartzkopf during press inter-
views were these:
No clothing believed the prop

has been found in the vicinity of
the Lindbergh home.
No trace of clothing or other
traces of the kidnapping have been
found in any of the orrnan asylums

No further check of incinerators

Can you say whether he or any

ing sought for questioning?'
The reply:
Information on Roma and his
associates whose supposed head
quarters was on President street,
Brooklyn, and the homes of his
associates were carefully searched
for any evidence that would con-
meet them with the crime. Having
no further information that would
in any way connect them with this
crime, we have vindicated them"

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT ASKS
AID OF Ell CENTRIC CITIZENS

Preceded by a breakfast at the
Barbara Worth hotel a group oi
local business men will start out
tomorrow morning under the direc-
ton of NJ. o. King campaign chair
man for the purpose of obtaining
funds to carry on the Boy Scout
work in El Centre.
Team captains and workers, who
have been selected to conduct th1
campaign, are urged to be at the
hotel in time for breakfast at {
o'clock.
Following breakfast. the leaders
and workers will move into tbs
sections of the city assigned to
them for an intensive campaign
10y which it is hoped to raise $4,000
the quota set for this city.
IN connection with the campaign
King stated:
THE amount we are out to raise
is the lowest possible minimum on
which the Boy Scout work can be
conducted here. The budget has
been carefully gone over by a COM
mittee of local business men, and
every unnecessary item has been
eliminated. Every dollar will be
stretched to the utmost limit and
those who contribute may rest
assured that every cent will be eX-
pended judiciouSly"
THE fullest support for the Boy
Scout movement should be ac-
corded by every parent and every
individual who has the welfare of
boys at heart was the statement
made by o. G. Horne, finance Of
ficer for the drive.
The Boy Scout movement has
long ago been established as among
the best influences in the life of
the American boy and its need in
Imperial Valley is beyond dispute.
Our boys of today are the men
of tomorrow, and they should be
given every inducement to become
good men and desirable members
Of the community, instead of de-
yeloping into less desirable paths.
The opportunities for healthful
recreation that every youngster
needs are necessarily limited be-
cause of our environment and the
temptations they face are often
greater than those faced by us
who spent our boyhood in older
settled communities.
THE Boy Scout movement by
providing supervised recreation and
training in the boys leisure hours,
the really dangerous hours, helps
to fit him for the duties of man.
hood
1T is a real duty on the part OF
the mothers and fathers and every
individual in Ell Centro to support
this campaign for funds. All can

for the state. Stanley arrived az
the scene of the fight as Mccoy

scribed TO the jury the fight which
resulted in McCoy's death. Mccoy,
said Stanley, apparently attempted
to evade Hendrix by running away,
but was unable to do SO.
Trouble Recounted
Other witnesses summoned by
the state built up a story of con-
slant trouble and pickering be-
tween Hendrix and Mccoy over a
period Of years, dealing largely
with water troubles engendered by
McCoy's position as Zanjero for
the Imperial Irrigation district,

son when the latter cross-examined
him. Utley had to be summoned
from another court room, where he
is acting as a defense attorney.
On cross-examination, Utley, IN
spite of objections by the district
attorney, answered thompson S
questions by denying any knowledge
of a transaction in which Mccoy
assertedly took a still to Luther
Shelton, asked Shelton to operate
it. and later turned him in to Of
ficers, causing his arrest.
Utley also denied that Mccoy
ever brought suit against Shelton
for money assertedly loaned Mrs.
Shelton in order that she might
go to Reno to divorce her husband.
The line of questioning dealing
with affairs closely involving Nc
Coy, Hendrix and Shelton was OBJ
jected to by Wolford, and the OBJ

lodged a capital attack indictment
today against Joseph (Blackie)

The indictment charged Young

Oahu jury under a new law fixing
the death penalty for violators, and
was returned within 25 hours of
Young's arrest.

Angered by continued attacks on
women-this is the third case in
two weeks-Weeber said his whole
department will bend its efforts to
secure Young's conviction. Neith-
er Weber nor Kelley will accept a
plea of guilty from Young, they
said, since a precedent has been
established whereby capital punish

a jury has convicted the defend

there was between 100000 and

among counties of California, I'M
perial is seventh among those same
counties in the number of criminals
sent to San Quentin and Folsom
prisons, according to figures COM
piled today by Hazel Livingston,
shorthand reporter for the district

were apprehended and brought to
trial in superior court during that
year. OF this number only 10 were
acquitted.
Eighteen were awaiting trial at
the beginning of this year, 129 had
been tried and convicted or pleaded
guilty, and 10 were dismissed for
lack of evidence or to file new

per cent of the total number Of
felony cases in superior court.
Assault with a deadly weapon
and murder comprised 8.4 per cent
of the total. Statutory crimes to-
tailed 1872 per cent. Other percent
ages were: Escape from custody
of an officer, &c per cent; bad
check charges, l5 per cent; pos
