Hayes. the democratic machine, .Congressman Goss and the city court, It was able to hold forth al! these years largely because .Ned Goss and the city court boys nave always managed to throw q few monkey wrenches into the repul'' : can organization just before isn election. The city court boys were willing to do this because their own jobs were more secure if the re- publican organization was kept m a garrulous mood and it's various factions were lunging at each others throats. That rule held good. however, when the republicans had control of the state. Then the city court boys were sitting pretty and everything went off lovely. Now since they are fighting among themselvcs, we. can stand by ana watch the fun. We don't care what they do to each other and we would not shed any tears over any thing that may result from Ithe shindig. We are certain that things cannot be much, If any worse than they are now.

No Slash Asked
On Pea ariff

In a letter to the Imperial Coun-
ty Farm Bureau, Chester H. Gray,
Washington representative of the
national federation, states that no
application for reduction in the
duty on peas had been made to the
tariff commission at the time of
writing, January 18.
This letter was in answer to a
telegram sent by the local farm
bureau asking Gray to investigate
the statement that a reduction in
tariff on peas was to be asked.
Gray states that there is no chance
for congressional action at the pres
ent session and the only chance
for reduction would be through
action of the tariff commission
under the flexible provision.
He urges local farm bureau Of
ficials to ward off, if possible, those
interests which are seeking re-
duction on the tariff, and reminds
them that the national federation
successfully fought in the past an
attempt at reduction on the tariff
on peas.

COURT FREES
ACCUSED MAN
Halloran Case Dismissed By
Judge Who Holds State Did
Not Prove Charges.

COURTROOM, PHOENIX, Ariz.,
Jan. 25. U.P)--Over objections of
the county attorney, Judge j. c.
Niles today dismissed a complaint
charging wealthy John j. Halloran
was an accessory after the murder
of Agnes Ann LIE Roi by Winnie
Ruth Judd, condemned slayer.
Judge Niles in dismissing the
complaint, declared he had been
unable to reconcile the facts of a
murder and the theory of self-de-
fense.
Mrs. Judd had screamed hyster-
ically in her five days on the wit
ness stand that she shot and killed
Mrs. LIE Roi and Hedvig Samuel
son, both her one-time friends, to
save her own life. The state, US
ing her as its witness, sought to
convince the judge she committed
murder.
Mrs. Judd is to hang February
II for the murder of Mrs. LIE Roi.
II have sought the aid of all
court precedent to find some way
to circumvent apparent inconsis-
tency in the states case" ruled
Judge Niles, "but without avail.
Il have been unable to reconcile
the facts Of murder and the the
ory of self-defense.
"In addition, if there is any cor
roboration it is most unSubstanti-
ated.
"In view of the dictuIn of our
own supreme court, binding this
defendant (Halloran) over would
be arbitrary abuse of the authority
of the magistrate" Judge Niles
continued.
1.-THE trial in superior court
would necessarily be an expense to
the county.
"Of course, the ruling of this
court is not final. If additional
evidence is discovered it can be
filed before any magistrate.
Therefor, in view of the states
evidence in connection with the
motion Ito dismiss), the order will
be that the defendant be dis
missed"
Halloran Pleased
Halloran's countenance lit up in
ia happy smile as he perceived that
Judge Niles was about to dismiss
the charge against him. After the
decision was given, Halloran walk

ASKED
BY ROOSEVELT
President-Elect Hopes Special
Session Of Congress May Last
Only Sixty Days.
BY WILLIAM F. KERBY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.-Pres-
ioent-elect Roosevelt has informed
Democratic congressional leaders
the forthcoming special session
must be prepared to deal quickly
with unified relief program strict
ly along lines laid down by the
incoming administration.
The extra session is expected to
convene in mid-April. Leaders al
ready are trying to smooth the way
for speedy enactment of legislation
for economic rehabilitation.
Mr.. Roosevelt's goal is 60 day
session, which would be the Short
est extra meeting of congress in
the memory of legislative veterans.
AS far as congressional leaders
have been informed, the President
elect will ask for a program CEN
tering around four major object
ives:
l. Farm relief: Some variation
of the domestic allotment bounty
plan together with mortgage relief
for debt burdened farmers.
2. Prohibition repeal plus modi-
fication legislation.
8. Budget balancing: Including
some sort of a tax bill; govern
mental economies, and a thorough
reorganization of the executive de-
partmentS.
4. Banking reform and tariff
legislation: The tariff measure
probably to grant authority to the
Roosevelt administration to bargain
with European nations for reduc-
ton of trade barriers.
Congress will be urged to hew
to the line of this program, and
then quickly adjourn. Many in
congressional circles feel the Pres
ident-elect is doomed to disappoint-
ment, but they are doing their best
to make way for his suggestions.

DIFFERENCE IN
WAR REPORTS

ASUNCION, Paraguay, Jan. 25.
UP, - The famous Paraguayan
"Acevara' cavalry regiment of
Guarani Indians virtually annihil-
ated the 41st Bolivian infantry
regiment in the sixth day of a
bloody battle for possession of Ma
wana in the Gran Chaco, the war
department said today.
Official announcement of the
victory caused great celebration
here. The Acevara regiment inher-
tied It's name from a unit in the
war of 1870, when troopers of the
regiment wore metal helmets and
received the nickname "Acevara," i"
meaning in the Guarani language,
'the head that shines"
The war department announced
that the Guarani cavalry charged
the Bolivians and cut them down
with machetes, native hatchets. Bo-
livian survivors fled after the first
attack and were pursued by the
Indians, the announcement said.

THREATS Of
REPR|SAL BY
CHAMBERLAIN
English Chancellor Hints At
Pound Depreciation If Debt
Not Cancelled.
STATEMENT BY HOOVER
President Says Debated Cur
rency OF Foreign Nations Is
Causing Unemployment.

LONDON, Jan. 25. U.P)-Great
Britain held the threat of delib-
crate depreciation of the pound
sterling to throttle American i'm
ports over the United States gov
ernment today, as a weapon to
support a prospective demand for
cancellation of the British war
debt.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor
of the exchequer, intimated for the
first time, when he addressed the
Leeds Chamber of Commerce last
night, that sterling might be de-
liberately deprecated unless there
were a settlement before the next
debt payment date due June Is.
Not only would United States i'm
ports here suffer from depreciation,
but Britain would have the ad-
vantage over the United States in
world markets.
Chamberlain spoke to a group
of MidlandS businessmen assembled
at Leeds, but his remarks obvious
ly were addressed to the Ameri-
can government. The resumption
of war debts payments, he said,
would mean decreased purchases
of American products, either by
depreciating currency or increasing
tariffs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. U.p)-
President Hoover was represented
today as believing that the most
substantial contribution European
countries could make for debt re-
vision would be stabilization Of
their currencies to improve world
economic conditions.
The President was understood to
believe that the flood of goods
now coming to American markets
from countries with deprecated
currencies is causing American un-
employment and business stagna-
ton. He holds that the problem
is an urgent one requiring drastic
4, action.
Faced by this situation, the Pres
ident is said to believe that the
United States has only two alter
natives:
l. To obtain stabilization of for
eign currencies.
2. To raise it's own tariff walls
even higher.
