BY BEN STERN


MYTH unctuous tone and many
w protestations of ferVid desire
to serve the people, twenty-six
members of the state senate put
on a show here Saturday that was,
to the initiate, funnier than any
revue Skit.
Frank r. Kent, well known ma
tional political commentator, once
wrote: "Insincerity is an essential
part of political equipment" The
apotheosis of this insincerity was
manifested at the Saturday meeting,
by all except, perhaps one or two.
The remainder showed themselves
to be even more than abundantly
equipped.
Almost every known proposal for
tax relief was suggested, except the
one praised most highly by the
soundest economists and students
Of taxation-the income tax.
The senators meeting here shrank
from that topic as if it were ana
therma, and contented themselves
with discussions and mouthings of
worn phrases regarding the bank
ruptcy facing the state.
An example of the type of COM
ment made was that of Senator
Thollie w. Druley, of Boston, known
to his colleagues as "Driveling Dru-
ley" who said: "a special session
would be good for the morale of the
people"
Not word about soup kitchens,
nothing about the prospect faced
by thousands of small home owneSs
and farmers that their homes and
farms may be taken from them
next next month because of tax de-
linquency.
1t is true that all agreed that
special session is necessary, but few,
if any, of those present displayed
an intelligent knowledge Of what
may be q remedy.
All but one or two were loath to
embark upon discussion of a sub
stitute for the present obsolete, I'M
fair and inadequate system.
1t was a curious meeting of eva
SionS and subterfuges, and th:; was
most apparent when Senator Lee
j. Hartzell of Ft. Wayne, senate
pro tenn, who issued the call, at
tempted to exclude the press over
the protests of others, who declared
that ''the taxpayers had right to
know what was being discussed"
Hartzell, the friend of lobbyists
opposed to the income levy, tried
to gavel through a motion to close
the doors to all except legislators,
only to meet defeat at the hands of
Senators Walter Chambers, John
Niblack, Frank Southworth and
George Sims.
The meeting was disappointing in
that the majority present seemed to
lack the nerve or mental alertnesS
really to grapple with the problem.
The one saving grace was that
all recognized the need for special
session.
The remark which brought the
loudest applause was that of Hart
zell, who ended long peroration in
favor of every kind of public salary
and budget reduction, including that
of school teachers, with the state
ment: eff we don't do it, we are
towards and should resign"

Then he looked up at Tarzan with pleas
ant smile that revealed row Of strong white
teeth. He spoke a few words which the ape
man judged were a polite expression of
thanks. Then he sought comfortable place
in the tree for the night :. It was just be-
fore dawn when Tarzan was awakened by the
shaking of the tree in which he had chosen
to sleep.

TEXAS
OIL FIELD UNDER
MILITARY GUARD

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 26. U.P)-
Armed national guardsmen and
Texas rangers today took COM
mand in the rich East Texas oil
field as Gov. Ross S. Sterling
sought to maintain the states
right to curb crude petroleum pro-
duction.
The state railroad commission
had ordered that wells in the four
county field be allowed to produce
only 40 barrels daily, a measure
designed to prevent physical waste
of oil by glutting midcontinent
markets. A federal court decis-
ion, returned Monday at Sherman,
held the commissions authority
invalid.
Almost Immediately, the COVER
nor was informed that 16 wells
near Tyler had been opened to
full capacity. The executive gave
Col. L. S. Davidson, stationed at
Kilgore in the heart of the field,
the right to call out as many
troopers as necessary to enforce
the commissions ruling pending
its appeal to the United States
supreme court. Along with the
soldiers. "a Texas rangers, men,
bers of the state police force, were
sent to the area.

TRIPLE BUDGET
BEING PREPARED
BY VANDECRFI

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 26. U.P)-
Three separate state budgets, each
carrying a plan for balancing the
expected deficit of $40,000,00O, will
be submitted to the 1888 Califor-
mia legislature when it meets next
January, ROLAND A. Vandegrift,
director of finance, announced
here today.
Incorporated in the first bud
get, Vandegrift said, will be all of
the present fixed charges voted
directly by the people or by prev
ious legislatures and which total
70 per cent of the state expendi-
lures. These cannot be lowered
except through enactment of new
laws or changing the state con-
stitution.
The second budget will carry al
provisions of the first, but will
reduce all expenditures to a min
imum and eliminate non-eSsentials
in state service, in addition to
offering suggestions for reductions
which can be made only by legis-
lative enactment.
The third document the finance
director said he would present to
the lawmakers will contain all sec
tions of the second budget plan,

tainable only through amendments

ITALY EXTENDS
AMNESTY FOR
MANY EXILESI

MILAN, Italy, Oct. 26. U.P)-
Fascist Italy was open today to its
political exiles.
Premier Benito Mussolini, ap-
parently secure in his belief of the
uncoAquerable force of his dicta-
torship, extended the olive branch
to thousands of former foes of his
regime, provided they renounce the
error of their ways and cooperate
with Fascism.
AT the same time, he predicted a
universal Fascist triumph in Eur
ope and century of Italian power,
with Italy returning "for the third
time" to direct human civilization.
The dictator's speech at Milan,
in celebration of Fascism's tenth
anniversary, was received with sat-
isfaction by the country.
1t was estimated the amnesty
offer would affect 1000 exiles in
France, 300 in Belgium and Lux
embourg, 500 in Switzerland and
500 in the United States and South
American republics. The premier
did not specifically say what would
be his attitude toward those island
prisoners definitely in custody for
political offenses, although it was
expressed a more lenient policy
would be adopted.
Mussolini tempered his announce
ment with a plain warning, howev-
er, that those who returned must
behave.

HUSBAND SOUGHT
FOR QUIZzING in
DESERT TRAGEDY
Victim Identified And
Much Evidence Located
By Police.

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 26. U.P)
Following Identification of a red
haired girl, whose battered body
was found on the desert near Vic
toryille, as Mrs. Idemea Cerney,
police visited her Los Angeles home
today and found the house a
shambles.
1t was evident, officers said, the
girl had been killed there and her
body removed to the place it was
found.
Her husband, Gus Cerney, was
sought for questioning.
Mrs. Cerney's battered body was
found on the desert several days
ago by Fred w. Schwarm, pros
pector.
Mrs. Floy Pickens, her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Myrtle CasSell, her moth
er-in-law, and L. Miles, BROTH
er-in-law, positively identified the
body in a Victorville morgue early
today.
Investigators then went to Mrs.
Cerney's Los Angeles home, where
they found evidence of a struggle
and bloodstains. One pillow slip
had been removed from the bed,
which was blood soaked.
All of the Woman'S clothing, and
her cosmetics as well, were in the
house, but her husbands clothing
was missing, officers said.
Mrs. Cassell informed them that
Cerney and his wife had planned
to leave for Palm Springs Oct. II,
and that neither had been seen
since.
Detectives believed Mrs. Cerney's
body had been left on the desert
early last Wednesday morning, al
though it first was believed the
murder had been committed Fri
day.
Other Evidence Found
Cushions from the rumble seat
of Cerney's automobile also were
found in the house. Sheriff Emmett
l.. Shay claimed this indicated Mrs.
Cerney's nude body was taken to
the desert in the automobile.
Cerney, he learned, was familiar
with the resort, as he had gone
on many camping trips in that dis
trict.
Tire tracks showed that the au-
tomobile had been backed across
the lawn to the front door.
Mrs. Cerney, according to her
mother-in- law, had $500 which she
had not informed her husband she
possessed. She also owned diamonds
valued at $4,000, and was to have
inherited $4,000 from her mothers
as yet unprotected estate.
First tentative Identification of
Mrs. Cerney was given by Los An
geles authorities who said her Ber-
tillion measurements and finger
prints conceded with those of a
woman arrested in July, 1880 on
suspicion of robbery. Cerney and
Jack Yelvington were arrested at
the same time, and Yelvington Ia
ter was sentenced to San Quen-
tin on holdup charges.
Schwarm, who found the red
headed girls body, and who had
been held as material witness, has
been released.

ROOSEVELT BACK
in HOME STATE
FROM CAMPAIGN
Planning New Trip Into
New England Which
Appears Hostile.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 26. - Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt came back
to his state today from a midwes-
tern-southern tour which ended
last night with an attack on what
he called the -four horsemen of
Republican leadership: Destruction,
Delay, Deceit and Despair" He
coupled this in speech at Balti-
more with an advocacy of beer as
a revenue measure.
His train arrived ahead of the
8 a. m. schedule, but the party
was permitted to sleep after the
train was shunted to a siding.
Today, Roosevelt prepared for
his final campaign swing-a trip
into New England which, Demo-
cratic leaders admit, is less friend
ly territory than he has invaded in
the past few days.
The New York governor charged
the Republican party with deceit
in its prohibition policies during
an address last night in Baltimore,
where he promised Democratic
beer"
The Democratic candidates next
speaking engagement takes him in
to Massachusetts, Were all indi-
cations have pointed to heavy
trend toward President Hoover.
He swung into New York early
today after one week tour of
the midwest, the border and the
south, his second major campaign
swing.
Significantly, as Roosevelt en-
ters eastern territory again, he is
talking prohibition more promin-
emily. At Baltimore when he de-
nounced the Republican prohibi-
ton attitude as the most colossal
fraud" ever perpetrated on the
voters, he brought loud cheers from
the audience.
The outpouring of crowds every
where and their response to his
attacks on the Hoover administra-
tion convinced Roosevelt that the
Republican attempt to turn the
tide" had failed and that the Re-
publican fear drive. has been
blocked.

THOMAS PLEADS
NOT GUILTY TO
FORGERY CHARGE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26. U.P)-
Elliott B. Thomas, whose dual life
as a Redondo Beach school super
intendent and ficticious stock
broker ended with his confession
he stole public school money,
pleaded not guilty to five counts
OF forgery when arraigned in court
today.
Thomas previously had said he
would plead guilty, and his change
in plans was only to give him more
time in which to aid the county
auditor in untangling the school
district books, his attorney, George
Penney, said.
Superior Judge Elliot Craig set
Thomas trial for November Is,
tentatively, but Penney said the
school executive would plead guilty
before the trial was called.
A county grand jury indictment
Of Thomas brought last night was
based on Thomas own story of his
peculations of more than $1,000
in school funds during a two year
period. He specifically is charged
with forgery of salary warrants
totaling only $768.50.
Thomas disappeared 10 days ago
leaving planted evidence to in
dicate he was kidnapped by burglars
from his school office. He later
was located in Washington where
he was about to marry a Seattle
girl under the name of "E. T.
Sherwood" However, he returned
voluntarily to Los Angeles to
make amends with his wife, and
to confess his peculations.
