REFERENDUM
THREAT MADE

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 4. U.p)-
Threat of a referendum hung over
the Great Central Valley water pro-
ject today as Governor Rolph pre-
pared to sign the bill tomorrow
setting up a water authority with
power to issue $170,000,000 worth
of revenue bonds to finance dams
on the Sacramento and San Joa-
cuin rivers.
Senator w. P. Rich, Marysville,
leader of the fight in the legislature
against the water bill, discussed a
referendum with water users yester-
day and predicted that his constit-
uents would sign a referendum Pc
tition and that the necessary 10000
votes could be obtained.
Senator Rich said, however, that
no action would be taken until
Governor Rolph actually had signed
the BILL
Senator Thomas Mccormack, Rio
Vista, said he would support a ref
erendum, but would not initiate
such an action. Opposition to the
water project is based on the con-
tention that rights of Sacramento
Valley water users would be jeop-
ardized under the broad powers
given the California water author
ity.
A referendum would hold up the
project until November, 1884, and
probably make it impossible to OBJ
tain federal aid under the MIRA.
Earl Lee Kelly, director of public
works, predicted that referendum
would not be successful because the
project meant too much to the peo-
pie as factor in stimulating en-
ployment.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4. UP)-Dis-
crepancies in the story of Philip
Edwards, 19-year-old San Diego
high school graduate, today threw
further doubt on his confession !"
OF the mutilation and murder of
seven-year-old Dalbert Aposhian.
Authorities were mystified. They
neither accepted Edwards story,
parts of which were found to be
truthful and parts false, nor elm
mated him as suspect.
First declaring that he had
placed dismembered parts of the
boys body in glass jar and
thrown it into the bay, Edwards
later declared he had disposed OF
them in his own home. Divers
seeking the jar were recalled.
Harry j. Kelly, captain of detec-
tiveS, said Edwards changed his
story after he had taken the sus-
pect to the San Diego Rowing club,
where records showed that an ed
wards had rented a boat at 1:2O
p. m. The afternoon of July 10,
alone, and had returned it at 2:25
That afternoon Edwards had said
he was with the Aposhian boy on
the streets of San Diego until
night.
Edwards at first denied and then
admitted that the handwriting on
the rowing club register was his.
DR.. H. F. Andrews, county psy-
chiatriSt, began tests of Edwards
sanity.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4. U.P)-
Harry Raymond, chief of police of
San Diego, last night expressed
doubt that Philip Edwards murder
ed and mutilated seven-year-old
Dalbert Aposhian in the border
city.
On a visit to Los Angeles for
reason he refused to divulge, Ray
rlond said:
After checking and re-checking
Edwards confession, I have SER
ious doubts"
He pointed to several discrepan-
cies in the suspect IS story.
81 asked him what he did with
the victim S clothing and he said
he threw the clothes into the ocean.
AS matter of fact, the boy was
fully clothed when the body was
found.
He appeared ignorant of the
fact that the victim IS eyes had been
gouged out. He said parts of the
body had been placed in a bottle
and thrown into the ocean. He
described the location and if the
bottle is there we III find it. Other
wise his story is false.
1--WE will continue the investiga-
ton until I am firmly convinced
that Edwards is guilty or not
guilty of this crime, irrespective of
his confession

HEARST HITS SMITH
FOR MONETARY STAND
Declares Roosevelt Strives to Get
U. S. Away From Blood
Money of shylocks.

BY the Associated Press
SAN SIMEON, Calf, December q
William Randolph Hearst said tonight
that President Roosevelt lis striving to
get the country away from the blood
money of the Shylocks, away from the
hard money of hard men," and assert
ed that Alfred E. Smith is "all wet" in
his call for return to the gold
standard.
The publisher, speaking on Where
Is Our Money!" over a National Broad
casting Co. network, said:
Those who do not know SO much
about finance, but know something OF
human nature, think that 1t Is safer to
follow Mr.. Roosevelt than the interna-
tional bankers who have robbed US and
betrayed us in the past, and are ap-
parently striving to establish the dollar
of depression so they can plunder US
again.
The bankers want you to pay them
in hard money, in blood money, and
they call easy money 'baloney' money.
The phrase was invented by Mr..
Morgan's political agent, Mr.. Al Smith.
Mr.. Smith speaks the Tammany
tongue, and the word 'baloney' is an
important part of that limited vocabu-
larry.
'Mr. Roosevelt is striving to get the
country away from the blood money of
the Shylocks, away from the hard
money of hard men.
He is trying to make money easier
for the average citizen. easier to get,
easier to earn, easier to save, easier to
spend.
He is trying to give our people the
easier money which foreign nations
have already given their people"
The President Hearst continued, Is
trying to make it possible for American
products to compete in world markets
and to protect American markets from
a flood of foreign goods.
