CHARGES MADE
BY HALLORAN

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 5. UP =
Introduction of what was believed
to be the defense's trump card in
efforts to quash an indictment
charging John j. Halloran, veal
thy lumberman, as an accessory in
the Winnie Ruth Judd murder case
today caused further delay in his
afraignment.
The trump card was in the form
of an affidavit by Halloran to sup
port a defense motion that the
Maricopa grand jury was in a
state of mind which prevented it
from acting impartially and with
out prejudice"
Filing of the affidavit caused
Superior Judge Howard Speakman
to recess until late today a hear
ing on an amended demurrer at
tacking the indictment for failure
to cite specific charge against the
lumberman.
Hearing on the affidavit will be
held tomorrow morning. Should 1t
be accepted, Judge Speakman said
he would void his denial of the mo-
ton and reopen that phase of the
arraignment.
Halloran specifically accused G,
A. White, foreman of the grand
jury, with prejudice. To support his
accusations against White and each
grand juror, Halloran submitted a
copy Of the jury's resolution ask
ing the state pardon board to COM
mute Mrs. Judd's sentence to life
imprisonment.

ance company and of projected
New England dairy organization.
So numerous did these rumors
become that only a few months
ago Coolidge suggested to newspa-
pers that whenever they recurred,
regardless of their nature, they be
denied.
Soon after Coolidge left the
White House, he and his wife NOV
ed from their modest duplex apart
ment to a 100000 16-room man
sion, 1.-THE Beeches."
Only twice since leaving the
White House had Coolidge engaged
in politics-first in 1880 when he
made one radio speech in behalf
of his close friend, William Morgan
Butler, u. S. Senatorial candidate,
and the second time in the recent
presidential campaign when he
spoke for Mr.. Hoover.
Calvin Coolidge, rugged, wirJ
example of New England politics
with a heritage of centuries be-
hind him, rose to the presidency
of the United States from most
humble beginnings.
He was born on independence
day of 1872, in Plymouth, Vermont
and his early life was spent on his
fathers farm in the heart of the
Green mountains.
There was nothing in this en-
vironment to lead the boy tc
dreams of greatness. But like 9TH
er farm boys, he made it his am
bition to go to college after years
of hard work, in which the hard
philosophy of a ' difficult struggle
for a living became ingrained ir
him. He succeeded in reaching
Amherst college, to graduate with
distinction if not with high hon
ors.
Until his graduation from col
lege there was nothing to indicate
that Coolidge had any political
ambitions whatsoever. But after
his admission to the state bar, and
the beginnings of a modest legal
practice in Northampton, Mass, ir
the office Of Hammond and Field
he became town clerk-the first
step in long political career.
Coolidge quickly became popular
with the townspeople of North
ampton and in 1899 he was elected
TO the city council-although he
had not sought the office. At the
same time he was made city solicit
tor. The post gave him much ex-
perience in law.
Six years later he married Grace

HOOVER LAUDS
PREDECESSOR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. W.P) -
President Hoover today eulogized
Calvin Coolidge in a message Of
ficially informing congress of the
death of the former President.
In brief message the Presi-
dent said:
"It is my painful duty to inform
you of the death today of Calvin
Coolidge, former President of the
United States.
There is no occasion for me to
recount his eminent services to our
country to members of the senate
and house, many of whom were so
long associated with him. His en-
tire lifetime has been one of single
devotion to our country and his
has been a high contribution to
the welfare of mankind"
| President Hoover remained in
his White House office, preparing
an official proclamation formally
acquainting the nation with the
death of his predecessor. 1t was
expected to set a period of 80 days
mourning.
The house adjourned after read
ing of the Hoover message. The
senate had adjourned previously
upon announcement of Mr.. Cool
idge's death.
The White House announced
late today that President Hoover
would attend Coolidge's funeral,
which is expected to be held at
Northampton, Mass, Saturday
morning. The President will not
attend interment which is expect
ed to be at Plymouth, VT.
White House employees, who
remembered Coolidge as their
friend, lowered the White House
flag to half mast.

PROBE
Shit TS BASE

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81. U.P)
u. S. Navy department investiga-
ton of the fatal collision between
the cruiser Chicago and the British
motor ship Silver Palm shifted to
the deck of the damaged warship
today after the inquiry board heard
testimony that the motorship's en-
gines were running ahead when
the crash occurred off the fog
bound Monterey coast.
The investigators postponed tenn
porarily further testimony of the Of
ficers and crew of the British
freighter because of inability to OBJ
tain a satisfactory interpreter for
two Malay seamen.
Before their appearance, D. M.
Pitt and j. o. Tough, of the Silver
Palm engineers staff, testified that
although the ship machinery was
set at stop" the motors were driv-
ing the freighter ahead just before
the crash. Three naval officers were
killed in the accident.
In shifting their investigation to
the Mare Island navy yard, where
the Chicago was in drydock, the ma
val board planned to hear officers
and seamen of the warship tell their
story.

Eleno Quijas, 26-year-old Mexican,
was in custody today as police in
vestigated the disappearance more
than a year ago of his wife, Car

Pickers Back
At Work Again

FRESNO, Calf, Oct. 81. U.D -
Under clearing skies, cotton pickers
flocked back into the fields today
to resume harvest of an already
slightly damaged crop.
Rains yesterday forced cessation
OF picking in some districts, barely
resumed after a months delay due
to bitter pickers' strike. The down.
pour, according to the United States
weather bureau here, discolored cot
ton to some extent.
Imminence of steady fall rains,
ordinarily due at this time of year,
led growers to put larger than usual
crews into their fields to harvest as
rapidly as possible. Steady rainfall,
they pointed out, would cause hum
dreds of thousands of dollars reduc-
ton in the value Of the cotton.
The rainfall also damaged to some
extent raisin drying in the fields
and grapes still on the vines. Cat
tlemen, however, welcomed the
storm, which they said would in
crease the feed on the ranges.

Dairy Industry
Not Improving

Industry may be picking up,
prices may be going up, but the
dairyman, despite the increase in
butter fat price, is worse off than
ever before according to statistics
quoten by George Winwright, as
sistant farm anvisor.
While he is receiving a little
more for his product the dairyman
has to pay so much more for the
products he buys that he actually
is in far worse straits. Figures re-
leased for September show that
the dairyman should receive par
ity price of 29.6 cents per pound
of butterfat in order to get as
much for his product as he has to
pay tor those commodities he has
to buy and which have gone up in
price. Instead he received 17.5
cents for butterfat. In October
the price jumped to little over
10 cents.

OFFICE:
To BE READY
VERY SHORTLY

That El Centro's new post office
viii be ready for occupancy by the
first OF the new year or shortly al
ter the Christmas rush is over, was
the opinion expressed this morning
by William A. Newman, S;ll Fran
cisco. district federal engineer for
the Pacific states and territories. Ac-
companied by Hyrum c. Thomson
construction engineer for the Yuma
post office. Calexico federal build
ing and the local post office, New
man was making his regular per-
iodic inspection to check over the
work.
Newman was most enthusiastic
over the new building now rapidly
nearing completion at Fifth and Oh
i've streets, stating that il is one OF
which the city has every reason 10
be proud. Ell Centre should be par
ticulariy pleased, he said, in that
this city has gone ahead of larger
cities like Los Angeles and San Di-
ego in getting its post office build
ing constructed before the two coast
cities.
The government has great
building program throughout the
nation now under way, Newman
said, but California has the lions
share in this work because this state
has grown so rapidly.
The federal engineer was here
when the site for the post office
was selected and he stated that the
fact of being able to have this site
donated enabled the government TO
put most of the money appropriated
into the building. The result OF this
is that the El Centro postoffice Is
a really beautiful structure and not
on the plan of the ordinary cheese
box type.
He stated further that any city
in the United States would be more
than pleased TO have the FL Centre
post office building within its bor-
ders.
