BURY OUTLAW
IN OLD HOME

JOPLIN, Mo-, Jan. 8. (U.P)-The
body of Wilbur Underhill was
brought here today for burial in
the city where the "tri-state ter
ror' began a sensational career of
crime Is years ago.
Underhill died in the prison Sat
urday night of bullet wounds suf-
fered a week earlier when officers
captured him at Shawnee.
The mother criticized officers
for moving Underhill from Shaw
nee to the prison few hours be-
fore his death. She said the move
fastened his death. A report that
underworld friends were planning
to free the wounded gangster
caused officers to transfer him.
Underhill, suspected of killing
many men and of perpetrating
dozens of other crimes, was ar
rested here for the first time in
his career in 1919. The offenSe
was robbery, according to official
records.

MAYOR RAPS
GOV. LEHMAN

NEW YORK, Jan. 8. U.P) -
Mayor Fiorella H. La Guardia, re-
fusing to accept gubernatorial dis
approval as a death warrant for
his emergency bill, injected a
charge of politics into his renewed
fight to save the city from "finan-
cial chaos
In a stinging reply to Gov. Her
bert H. Lehman's announcement of
the LaGuardia plan as "unneces-
sary" to refill the citys almost
emptied Golfers, the fusion mayor
charged tie Democratic state exc
cutive had been instrumental in
creating the existent banking die
tatorship" which holds control of
city tax collections during the next
three years.
The LaGuardia bill, the mayor
added, while granting the city exc
cutive wide powers over salary dis
bursementS and departmental Or
ganization to effect economies, does
not constitute a dictatorship, but
is sound city management" under
TIE same principles that have given

LABOR SAYS
MANY REMAIN
WITHOUT JOBS

WASHINGTON, Jan. S. UP)-
The American Federation of Labor,
in a review of the entire recovery
drive to GATE, reported today that
100000 workers who were without
jobs last year end, now have found
employment in industry, and that
4,600,000 others have temporary
work under CWA. PWA and CCC.
Tie result of the drive has been
mixed, the review contended.
Millions who got jobs during the
year are better off, but those who
bad jobs at mere than minimum
wage have lost ground it was
stated. I'VE must not forget that
n November 10,702,000 workers still
had no industrial employment, that
CWA funds giving temporary work
TO 100000 will be exhausted by
February Is, that business still IS
80 per cent below normal, and that
tie outlook is oVerShadoWed By a
danger which might destroy all
progress made-inflation by fiat
money"
Workers total buying power is
above last year by $543, 100000
month, or 26 per cent, farm prices
have risen 25 per cent, and the gen.
eral price level is up II per cent,
it was said.

IMMUNIZATION
OFFERED FOR
LOCAL PUPILS

Immunization against diphtheria
is offered in the El Centro elemen-
tary schools on Monday, January
Is, through the courtesy Of the I'M
perial county health department.
Although there has been a marked
decrease in the prevalence of diph-
liberia, states Miss Edith Eicke,
school nurse, in some communities
an actual increase in the death rate
has occurred. 1t can, however, states
Miss Eicke, be controlled largely and
even wiped out if the greater per-
centage of the children in the COM
munity is protected through i'm
munization.
AT the present time the Ell Cen
tro district has 30 per cent of the
children who have not been immun-
lied against this disease. Miss Eicke
states that this percentage is rather
large and that it is hoped that it
may be lowered.
Slips have been sent out to all
parents of children who have not
been immunized, in order to inter
est them in the matter. 1t is sug-
gested that the children either be
taken to the family doctor or that
parents avail themselves of the op-
portunity to have it done in the
schools.

tackled an armed bandit and cap
tured him for police, authorities
reported today.
Steinthen passed a delicatessen

ed into the store, tackled the gun
man and threw him to the floor.
In the midst of the struggle Riah
went to the aid of Steinthen and
was shot in the groin. Steinthen
beat the bandit into submission, dis
armed him and held him on the
floor until police arrived.
The suspect gave his name as
William Humphries. He was jailed
on suspicion of robbery. Stein
then departed amid a chorus of
cheers after shaking hands with

ZANE GREY'S
WIFE WRITES
To CHAMBER

In reply to an invitation extended
by the FL Centro Chamber of Com
merce to Zane Grey to visit Imper-
ial Valley and make a trip over the
Imperial Highway route, letter has
been received from Lima Elise Mrs.
zane) Grey, stating that Zane Grey
had sailed for Tahiti the day be-
fore the letter from the chamber OF
commerce was received, but that it
had been filed for his return.
Il am certain he will be very
much interested in the section OF
the country which you mention"
Mrs. Grey writes, land 1 shall per-
sonally see to it that he takes the
trip and gets in touch with you
when he is ready to do So This
statement is accepted as a promise
by the chamber staff and they eX-
pect to have the opportunity OF
greeting Grey and escorting him
through the country traversed by
the Imperial Highway in the early
spring.
1t was because of the great
amount of historical data disclosed
during the recent development of
the Imperial Highway, that the in
vitation was issued to Zane Grey by
the Ell Centro Chamber with the
hope that he would write a novel of
historical interest about this section
of the country. The country at the
south end of the Imperial Highway
is particularly adapted to Grey's
style of writing, having been a cat
tie country for years and, although
Peter B. Kyne has written of the
Palomar region, nothing has been
published concerning the Vallecitos
area, even more important histori-
cally.
The local chamber staff believes
that the Old Butterfield Stage route
and the Emigrant Trail have
enough material of historical inter
est woven around them to enable
Zane Grey to form an interesting
plot, and, by connecting such his
torical data with the present devel-
opment of the Imperial Highway,
which follows the same route as
these pioneer routes, and the pro-
posed ANA state park, which en-
braces the Vallecitos region, much
favorable publicity would result for
these developments in western I'M
perial and eastern San Diego coun-
fioc

THREE DIE IN
FAMILY ROW

RIVERSIDE, Jan, 8. U.P)- A
family quarrel over money mat
ters was climaXed today with the
death of three persons, two of
them killed by the head of the
amily who then turned the gun up
on himself.
Mrs. Ethel Refining, &c. died in
the Riverside county hospital of
bullet wounds received when her
husband, John, shot her at the
climax Of a family reunion in their
home near Palm Springs. Refining
then fatally wounded his daughter,
Ethel, IA, as she slept in an ad-
joining room and then killed HIM
self before guests could intervene.
Investigating officers were told
Refining had recently returned
from Ohio. Five guests were invited
to celebration last night. The
couple began quarreling over money
the husband received from the
sale of the family automobile.
Refining shot his wife, his daugh-
ter and himself before the guests
could halt him.
Ethel recently won beauty con-
test at Banning high school where
she was student.

ELLIOTT SAYS
CWA PROGRAM
NOT EFFICIENT

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8. U.P) =
Charges of gross inefficiency Wete
leveled against local directors of the
CWA program today by John 2.
Elliott, first vice-chairman of the
Democratic state central commit
tee and Southern California CAM
paign manager of President RooSe-
velt and Senator William G. M
Adoo.
Elliott charged that thousands
Of dollars were being wasted in this
district because of the absence OF
any unified work plan.
Almost every form of inefficiency
is apparent in tie local adminiStra-
ton" he said. "As high as 1900
to 1900 unemployed have been as
signed daily to various projects
without any tools or any kind OF
material with which TO work.
This army of men has stood
about, day after day, in many cases
for more than 20 consecutive
days, with nothing to work with
and nothing to do, while they are
on the federal payroll at so cents
an hour.
This is not the fault of the uil-
employed. who are only too ANXIOUS
to work and do their duty on nee
essary public projects"
Elliott also denounced directors
for failing TO meet payroll obliga-
tlons promptly. Some workers, he
said. have gone without pay for as
much as four weeks.

SECTION OF
ALIEN LAND
LAW INVALID

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. U.P -
The supreme court today Eeld ill.,
valid that section of the California
alien land law which requires de-
PENDANTS accused of violations to
prove their citizenship.
The ruling was made on an ap-
peal by George Morrison and H.
Dol, a Japanese, from conviction
on charge of violating the law. Nor
rison was accused of having put
Dol on a farm to operate it, Each
was sentenced to two years in pris-
On.
The defendants contended that
section ga of the alien land law
and section 1923 Of the California
code of civil procedure were un-
constitutional because in cases Of
those accused of an act involving
rights pertaining only to citizens,
the defendant must prove that he
is a citizen.
It was charged that this violated
the old rules placing the burden of
proof of guilt of any crime on TIE
prosecution.
The court reversed conviction Of
the two, holdirg the section COM
olained of went too far IN its oe-
mands on defendants.
