BALDWIN WINS
COURT BATTLE
FOR MAYORALTY
MeIIett Loses When Jury
Votes 10 to 2: Appeal
Considered.

By Times Special
ANDERSON, July 15.-Jesse H.
Mellett, former Anderson mayor,
and his counsel were comforting to-
day on what will be the next step
in his efforts to GUST Mayor Harry
R. Baldwin, following a Madison
circuit court jury verdict Friday
night unfavorable to Mellett.
Voting 10 to 2. the jury, after
eight hours elaboration following a
trial which opened Tuesday, found
for Baldwin in quo warranto pro-
ceedings brought by Mellet in an
attempt to unseat the mayor.
Immediately after the verdict,
Mellett counsel indicated a new
trial would be asked.
This was the second trial of the
case within three weeks. The jury
disagreed at the first trial. Judge
John w. Craig of GreenSburg, who
presided as special judge, had stated
he would accept a 1912 verdict, but
not even ten could agree at the first
trial.
Mellett, declared by physicians
called by Baldwin to be suffering
from an incurable disease, contends
that while he was i'll several months
ago Baldwin illegally assumed the
office of mayor.

PORK IS BANNED IN
BIG WORKS PROGRAM
Few PoStoffices Expected to
Be Built.

By Scripps-HOtCard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has served notice
that the three billion dollar public
works fund is no political pork
barrel.
Favorable consideration will be
given by the President and the pub
lie works administration to non
federal projects that promise a re-
turn on investment-such as mu-
nicipal power and municipal water
works systems.
The administration, it was learned
at the White House, has decided
that none of the public works
money is to be spent on federal
buildings and postoffices that can
not be justified on economic
grounds.
Rigid adherence to this policy
probably will provoke bitter protest
from politicians over the country
who expected this federal money to
be ladled out with a free hand in
their respective districts.

REPEAL VICTORY
IN SOUTH SEEN
Arkansas Only State Rated
to Uphold Anti Wet
Sentiment.

By Scripps-H0WGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. July Is. The
democracy of Dixieland, responding
to the wishes of the popular Dem
ocratic President, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, marches triumphantly
toward the polls under the banner
of prohibition repeal.
In Alabama and Arkansas. bell
Wether states of the once solid dry
south, the voters will ballot on re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment
next Tuesday. In Tennessee the
voting will take place two days
later.
Political dope sheets, which fore
cast a 2 to l majority for re-
pealists in the total popular vote of
the three states, list Arkansas as
the only doubtful state.
In Arkansas, the prohibitioniSts
have made an intense ballyhoo
campaign. They have deployed
speakers and sound trucks over the
state, and have penetrated even
into the remote, Sparsely-settled
hill country.
Such oratorical drawing cards as
Sergeant Alvin G. York, World war
hero, and Oliver w. Stewart, pres
ident of the Flying Squadron
Foundation, have joined in the
last-minute drive of the anti-re-
pealists.
A feeling of tutility has settled
ove the dry forces in Tennessee
and Alabama. Party loyalty and
enthusiasm for President Roosevelt
runs high.

RANGERS RULE ON LAST FRONTIER
Grim Texans, Quick ON Trigger; Are Terror to OutLa0Cs

I am the law west Of the Pecos."
And so, it seemed, he was.
TEXAS remembers, too, the IA
Il nous Red Ride" that the
Rangers staged in the '70s. clear
ing the whole border from Browns
vile to Ell Paso of outlaws.
Banditry, cattle rustling and other
forms of crime had dismayed the
ranchers and driven many of them
from the country.
Captain Lee Hall, in charge of the
Rangers, conferred with Governor
Ireland of Texas. They decided on
the ride" and all Rangers in the
state were summoned to Browns
vile.
Dividing into three groups, which
formed a screen some twenty miles
deep, they rode from one end of the
Rio Grande to the other, cleaning
out the bandits and bad men.
When the Rangers wound up at
Ell Paso six weeks later on, no n
knew how many ~desperadoes had
been killed, as no count of the cas-
ualties among the outlaws had been
kept.
Today's custodian of law and or
der in the country west of the Pc
cos" is Ranger Captain J. Eagle
Vaughan, a product Of the Big
Bend. Fifty years of age, the most
of them spent in the saddle in the
Big Bend country, Captain Vaughan

ambushed Ranger Eugene B. Hulen
and Border Patrolman Joe Sitters
back in 1916, leaving their bullet
ridden bodies in a ravine.
There still is some banditry,
though somewhat denatured in
form, explains Ranger Captain D.
E. Hamer, a veteran in the service.
"Candalrio Baeza, who kidnapped

Gently, is a tricky bandit leader who
has gathered about him about 100
men. He lives by plundering small
ranches and villages.
He never stays to fight, but sour

A terse way of describing a man
hunt which probably carried him
200 miles along the desolate Dor

deep canyons, infested with noun
tain lions and with the underbrush
crawling with poisonous snakes.
Candalrio Baeza rides again to-
day. The withdrawal of United

the interest of economy, has made
him bold. But the men of the Big

A DAY
ca BRUCE CATTQN

TINE internal long-tern indebt-
il edness of the United States to-
day is approximately S134, 000. 000,-
900. Nevertheless. it is exaggerating
things to say that this constitutes
an i%ntolerable burden. We can carry
the load very nicely if there is only
a moderate improvement in general
business.
So, at any rate, asserts The In
ternal Debts of the United States"
a fat book prepared by economists
under the direction of the Twentieth
Century Fund and edited by Evans
Clar.
1t examines all phases of debt
burden and lays down a series of
general recommendations.
The book points out that there are
two ways of meeting this debt prob
lem. We can scale down our debts
to fit our depressed economy; or We
can take action to bring our econ
omy up to the level where it can
sustain the debts. The experts rep
resented here conclude that the sec

Opposing any general readjust-
ment for all debtors. they urge sep
arate adjustments obtained through
administrative mechcaniSms set up
for the different fieldsfarm deSts,
industrial debts, city mortgages, and
so On.
These could include reduction of
interest rates, avoidance of fore
closures, extensions of time for ma
turing obligations, and retinancing
measures.
To induce industrial recovery, they
suggest controlled currency expan-
sion coupled with an extensive pro-
gram of public works. They also
call for strict Capitalization of COM
