DEATH SCENE
PRESENTED|N IN
LA|MSQN TRIAL

SAN JOSE, Cal, Aug. 29 U.P)-
A grueSome exhibit-newest of a
series of startling displays -pictor-
tally presented the death scene OF
the Allene Thorpe Lams0n murder
case at David A. Lamson's trial
today.
The young defendant blanched as
the state hung on the courtroom
wall picture of the bathroom of
the Lamson Palo Alto home, taken
soon after Mrs. Lamsons body was
found in the bathtub Memorial
day.
The dead Womans head and arms
dangled over the edge of the tub
that formed the central feature
of the exhibit. Nearby was the
washstand which the defense may
claim was the instrument of heI
, death.
The seven men and five women
holding the former Stanford Press
executives fate in their hands star
ed fascinated at the picture. Tears
filled the eyes of DR.. Margaret
Lamson and Mrs. Willis Thoits
sisters of the man accused of beat
ing his wife to death because she
allegedly deceived him and trust
rated his love.
Few paid attention to the routine
testimony of H. A. link, chief of
police of Palo Alto.
The picture brought into the
trial the stark realization of the
violence of the campus Y. w. c.
A. secretary's death. The top OF
her head was indicated. Her arms
hung Imply palms turned out
ward, The left hand seemed to reach
for slipper said to be Lamson's.
Blood and water spotted the
floor of the little room where
through accident or murdeous at
tack, the former Lamar, Mo-, girl
came to her death.
The spell cast over the crowded
courtroom by the display was brok-
en- abruptly by bull-voiced Edwin
M. Rea, chief attorney for the de-
fense. He broke the silence char
acteristically, by starting an argu-
ment with prosecutor Allen P. Lind

Chicago Methods Adopted By

Tragedy.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20. tU.P,-
A double gangland execution, as
ruthless as one of those that made
Chicago's underworld Infamous,
confronted local police authorities
today.
With but meager clues to aid
them, officers sought three we'll
dressed men who strolled calmly
into a cafe last night and opened
fire on two late diners.
The victims, to whom death came
instantly, we're identified as Harry
Mackley, 25, of New York, and
Frank Keller, of ST. Louis.
Having accomplished their delib-
crate executions, the three killers
turned and walked hastily but with
cut confusion to a waiting sedan.
The car sped away without any
witnesses getting its license num-
ber.
The automobile in which Mack
ley and Keller drove to the Bella
Napoli cafe, scene of the slayings,
was registered to Sonia Dresnick,
of Long Beach.
Police took her into custody for
questioning but she was able to give
little information. She said Mack

STATE GETS
PAYMENT ON
SALES TAX

MERGED, Calf, Aug. 30. 'U.P)-
One hundred sixty-seven pennies
today comprise the states first COL
lection of revenue under the new
sales tax law.
The pennies were accepted by
Assemblyman c. Ray Robinson from
Charles Abeytia, former Merced
Falls grocer.
When he closed his store last
week, Abeytia had the money in a
milk bottle. Religiously, he had col
lected it since cne law became oper-
ative.
Equally religiously, he came to
Merced yesterday to turn the money
over to the state. He tried an ac-
credited tax collector, he tried both
Merced banks and several city and
county offices. Finally Robinson
took the money for the state board
of equalization.
In telephone conversation with
Robinson, Fred E. Stewart, state
board member, said the money was
the first to be collected First quar-
ter payments are not due until Oc-
tober /.

To CONSIDER
BUYING DRIVE
NRA Developing Plans For
Nationwide Appeal To Make
Purchases Immediately.
BY II. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1898, BY United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. %. A
plan to inject $2,000,000,000 worth
of the new business into Americas
commercial life through a concert
ed buy now" campaign was con-
sidered today by the National Re-
covery Administration. The plan
would be carried out on a quota
basis, with the amount of new
purchases allocated to cities and
towns in the manner of war time
allotments for Liberty bond sales.
The actual buying would begin
when the entire $2,000,000,000 had
been underwritten in agreements to
buy automobiles, clothes furniture
and the hundreds of other COM
modities whose sales have dWindled
during the years of depression.
An idea of how much $2000,000,-
900 in buying would mean to busi-
ness is gained from a comparison
with the entire export sales for
the year 1890, which amounted to
S3,843, 100000.
At signal from Washington an
army of volunteer purchasers would
troop to the stores to buy and
start the wheels of industry turn
ing.
The purchasers would receive
double benefit. They would have
the advantage of present low prices
in most fields, and they would
know that a tremendous volume
of purchases such as this could
not help but better conditions
throughout industry as a whole.
NRA officials are investigating
the plan from all angles and SO
far it has received considerable
support. Indications were that
something of this kind would be
attempted.
The present NRA machinery set
up to deal with state, city and
community groups in spreading the
blue eagle doctrine could be
swung into effective action in a
buy now" drive
Before the plan is acted upon
definitely, NRA officials wish te
be able to assure prospective pur-
chasers of adequate banking sup
port.

SHARP REPLY
TO GOVERNOR
BY MERRIAM

LONG BEACH, Cal, Aug. 30. U.P)
Lieut.. Gov. Frank Merriam today
struck back at Governor James
Rolph, jr.. following the latter S
statement that he opposed the state
sales tax and intimation that Mer-
riam was responsible for the meas
ure,
Governor Rolph overlooks the
question in which the taxpayers are
Interested said Merriam.
cit is not who is to be credited
with passage of the sales tax, but
who made it necessary
The lieutenant governor did not
elaborate on his statement.
Both Rolph and Merriam have
been mentioned as possible candi-
dates for the governorship in 1884.
Rolph has alleged a whispering
campaign" has been inaugurated
against him, in which he is blam-
ed for the sales tax, unpopular in
some quarters.
Although he did not accuse Mer-
riam of starting the whispering
campaign he sought to place the
sales tax on Merriam's political
shoulders.

AWAIT REPORT
UPON CANAL
Swing Sends Optimistic Mes
sage To District Following
Capital Hearing.

Report from All American canal
board nearing completion, were
the opening words of a telegram
received by the Imperial Irrigation
district board of directors this
morning from Phil D. Swing who
has been in Washington, D. c., for
some time past working for the in
clusion of this project in the ma
tional recovery program. Swing
continued by saying that this board
would meet again this afternoon.
He stated further that a joint
committee from the department of
the interior and of agriculture is
trying to work a harmonious policy
on reclamation and withdrawal of
marginal lands from production. The
canal was being discussed in their
report, he said, and he was called
before them this afternoon to con-
firm and supplement date furnish
ed by F. w. Greer.
Swing also stated in this wire
THAI he would see the chairman OF
this joint committee in order to
allay the fears of the department
of agriculture regarding new lands.
This, in all probability is in view
of the policy of agricultural re-
trenchment being pursued by the
government at present.
He said that there has been much
talk of charging interest and he
emphatically denounced this pro-
posal as it would seriously hinder
the completion of the project should
interest be charged. A copy of the
opinion handed down by Attorney
General Mitchell that no interest
was intended in connection with this
project was given by Swing to the
chief counsel of this committee and
he now believes that the proposal
will be killed.
The board of directors met this
morning and disposed of several
matters of routine business.

'R0LPH SIGNS
FISH MEASURE

SACRAMENTO, Aug. %. U.P)-
Conservation of various species of
sea fish was assured today when
Governor Rolph signed a bill pro-
hibiting sale of the fish for two
months each year.
The measure prohibits sale of
White Sea Bass, Barracuda and Yel-
lowtail for the two months spawn
ing season.
The restrictive period was set for
June and July for Sea Bass and
Barracuda, July and August for
Yellowtail. The act does not be-
Ccme effective until 1884.
"The measure Governor Rolph
said, "has as its objective conserv-
ing of southern California food fish
which are in danger of being sadly
depleted unless adequate protection
is given to those food fish during
the spawning season.
81 have endeavored to effect a
compromise on this bill between the
commercial fishermen and the fish
and game commission, but without
success, and I believe it is to the
public advantage that the bill be

STATE SALES
TAXDEFENDED
BY OFFICIALS
Board OF Equalization Asserts
Reduction In Property Levy
Will Popularize Measure.
ADVANTAGES POINTED OUT
Chairman Predicts Merchants
Eventually Will Include Tax
In Sales Price.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 90 UP, =
Sweeping reductions in real pro-
perty tax rates throughout the
state, expected to be announced soon,
will result in public acceptance Of
the new state sales tax and aban-
donment of proposals to repeal it,
the state board of equalization pre-
dicted today.
Lowered assessed valuations on
pre- 'erty, reduced rates of taxation
ana strict limitation of budget in
creases will more than offset the
first irritation and annoyance OF
the public at being required to pay
a sales tax, according to Fred E.
Stewart, member of the board.
when the new local tax rates are
announced on Sept. /, reflecting
many millions of dollars in savings
to home owners and general pro-
perty owners he said, "the public
will have its first opportunity to
weigh the advantages of the sales
tax against its disadvantages.
by transferring $38,OOO,OOO in
school costs from local government
to the state, to be financed by the
sales tax instead of the property
tax, the new tax plan saved thous-
ants of California home owners
from tax confiscation and eviction
Some 100000 taxpayerS-every res
ident of the state and every visi-
tor in it-are carrying the load to-
day which was formerly carried by
some 100000 property owners
Declaring the public will approve
the sales levy when benefits of the
plan become fully known, Richard
E. Collins, chairman of the board,
appealed to business men and civic
leaders to assist in educating the
public to advantages of the new set
up.
Separating the purchase price OF
the article and the tax by mer-
chants at the start of the tax pro-
gram may have been a mistake,
Collins said, las this made for de-
lays and irritation, building up sales
resistance and hurting trade"
But the great majority of mer-
chants are now changing to the
one price plan including the tax
in the sales ticket and counting it
as part of ordinary business rou-
tine" Collins said. while the state
law prohibits merchants from ad-
vertising that they absorb the tax,
it does not, under any circumstan-
ces, prevent the merchant from ad-
ding the tax to the purchase price
of the article and including it in
the general charge.
LAS more merchants adopt this
procedure and stop building up sales
resistance by repeated mention Of
the tax, 1 am convinced the sales
tax will be accepted by the public
cheerfully and willingly to meet the
present emergency"

GEORGIA DIES

PARIS, Aug. 20. W.P)-The ghost
republic of Georgia has vanished
from it's last haunt. the French
diplomatic list, and the marrying
Mdivani princes are men without a
country.
For several years the republic of
Georgia was listed as maintaining
a legation, but with the reestablish-
ment of official relations between
France and Russia the legation is
no more.
Actually Georgia as source of
titles ceased in 1901, when the little
principality became a Russian pro-
vince. After the fall of the Cars
during the World war, it came to
live as a Soviet republic which does
not recognize titles.
There were many Georgian prin-
ces in old days, for anyone who pos
sessed a pair of shoes, stone house,
a flock of goats and rifle was
recognized as hey, which is tram
slated prince.

days, Engineer Croft had stopped
his train a mile from the bridge
to investigate the condition of the
track.
The train was running only 20
miles an hour when it started across
the bridge.
Plunged Into Water
The west end Of the trestle was
strong enough to hold the engine
but as it rolled across the structure,
pulling a string of cars the weight
was too much and the east span
of the bridge gave way.
The engine plunged into the
muddy water and was submerged
in the deepest part of the arroyo.
Two baggage cars toppled off into
the stream. A chair car careened
madly and dropped into water. A
tourist sleeper followed it.
Inside the train passengers were
sleeping, some in pullman berths,
others curled up in day coach seats.
The terrific jolt and impetus
given the cars when the engine fell
through the trestle awakened the
passengers. The coaches piled up
after the engine SO quickly that
the startled travellers scarcely knew
what was happening.
Some of the were thrown to the
floor and tossed against the seats.
A second later, the coach aisles
were scene of wild disorder.

Hollingsworth rejected the de-
