ing the nation" from civtl war and
chaos through his vigorous action
The fact that Hitler. with only
few exceptions. did not mention the
names Of the n dead evoked much
comment.
Justifies Speedy Action.
"I had to act With the speed OF
lightning" Hitler said IN recounting
details Of a plot he said was Matched
By Ernst Roehm. chief o. staff. and
other Storm Troop leaders. Roehm
was executed in the June "purging "
In that hour was responsible for
the fate Of the German nation and
thereby was the German peoples
supreme Judge
Il hope confidently that II fate
should at any hour call me from my
place, my successor will not act dii-
ferently and in case he, too. must
abandon the fleld the third one after
lis will be ready 10 safeguard the
security OF our people and nation
with no less determination" Hitler
said.
Although Hitler promised the Brown
Shirts that I'm a few weeks" they will
again be dominant on the German
streets and will show everybody that
It Is unmistakable that National So
ciAlist Germany is all the stronger
now that ii has overcome a great diff
fculty" He hinted that the proposed
reduction OF the Stormers' numbers
would be carried out.
Split on Army Policy.
He asserted Roehms insistence that
the Reichswehr be merged with the
Storm Troopers was primary cause
OF their split,
Hitler said he was informed OF the
plot and early in June "tmportuned"
Roehm "of his own accord 10 oppose
this madness"
The counter revolution" he said,
"wAs to begin with an assault upon a
government building and with my ar
rest Orders were to be given to the

The chancellor charged Roehm had

Schleicher's wife.
only by interfering ruthlessly and
with blood was 1t still possible to pre-
vent the revolt from spreading out" 4"
Hitler continued. There could be
no question but that it was better to
destroy a hundred mutineers and
eonspirators than to let tens of thou
sands of innocent S, A. (Storm
Troops) men perish on one side and
tens OF thousands OF equally inno-
cent persons on the other"
Hitler claimed normality was re-
stored by July /.
Two little girls presented Hitler
with roses when his speech was over.
Nearly all the audience were men,
bers of three groups: The Reichstag,
the Stahlhelm or Steel Helmet Vet
erans' Association, and the Storm
Troops.
Hitler was under heavy guard when
he went to the Kroll Theater. where
the Reichstag met, and on his re-
turn Thousands cheered him on

The schedule is divided into
eight basic sections comprised of
100 questions covering practically
every phase of the agricultural in
dustry Every farmer will not have
to answer all of these questions,
only those pertaining to his par
ticular lines of activity. The ques-
tions will cover the calendar year

BROTHER OF
SAMUEL GETS
HIS FREEDOM
Jury Finds Former Utilities Ex-
ecutive Not Guilty Of Taking
Company Funds
HAD HIDDEN in CANADA
Accused Turned Over To Am
erican Authorities To Face
Charges Against Him
HAD HIDDEN In CANADA

CHICAGO, Dec. 81 U.p)-Martin
j. insult, 69-year-old brother of
Samuel insult, was acquitted by a
jury in criminal court today on
charges of embezzling $344, ,720 from
the Middle West Utilities Co.
The jury received the case at
12:40 o'clock this morning and re-
turned its verdict to Judge Cor
nelius j. Harrington at 3:25 o'clock.
One of the first to congratulate
the lanky, white haired defendant
was his brother, Samuel.
A month ago Samuel was acquit-
ted of mail fraud charges by Jury
in federal court. He is scheduled to
go on trial in state court Jan. z on
embezzlement charges similar to
those successfully fought by Mar
tin.
The state charged that insult en-
bezzled funds from the treasury OF
the Middle West-a key unit of the
$2,000,o00,000 insult utility system
year before its collapse in 1892.
The money was used, according
to the prosecutions evidence, in a
desperate effort recoup insults per-
sonal losses in the stock market.
insult, who like his brother con-
tends he is virtually penniless now,
denied the charges his stocks were
sold to Middle West, he said in a
perfectly proper, and moral trans
action"
He admitted that the market
value of the stocks was consider
ably less than the amount he re-
ceived for them but explained that
he and other officials of Middle
West were confident they would
rise again.
Though not as we'll known ma
tionally as his more famous BROTH
er, Samuel, Martin insult came into
prominence with the collapse of the
huge Insun empire which was fol-
lowed by filing of federal and state
charges against the insults and their
associates.
Martin insult went to Canada,
where he was later arrested on re-
quest of United States authorities
and extradited to this county to
face charges Of embezzlement.

HORTON SAYS DELAYS IN HEARING
POWER CASES ARE UNAVOIDABLE
Attorney Informs Board Courts Granted Extensions
Notwithstanding Strenuous Protests By Him

that additional time was given by
the federal judge before whom the
matter was called to the Southern
Sierras company in spite of definite
and strong protests made by Horton
in person that the district did not
favor any further delay. Hearing
on motion to dismiss the action
brought by Horton against the ac-
ton of the company in federal court
has been set for hearing on Febru-
ary Is.
Director Rose pointed out that
before money can be obtained for
the construction of power plants
along the canal route the district
must be able to validate its contract
for this purpose with the govern
ment. He felt that with suits pend
ing against the district this valida-
ton could not be obtained.
1t was further pointed out that
it might be good idea to draw up
this contract as soon as possible
and then commence valuation pro-
ceedings SO that no delay would be
experienced in the matter
Horton reminded the board that
two main questions were involved
in these suits, one the constitu-
tionality of the right given an ir-
rigation district to enter into power
distribution business and the other
the matter of interstate commerce.
Both of these, he said, have been
questioned by the power company
which means that ultimately the
case will, in all probability be
borught before the United States
supreme court.
With this fact in view, he re-
minded the board, it would seem
the better course to press the ac-
ton in the federal court in prefer
ence to that in the state court be-
cause the latter action would have
to come to the federal courts any
how. In this way time could be
saved by concentrating on the ac-
ton now in federal court.

NO STRIKE ON
P. {. LINE :
Company And Employees Reach
Compromise Avoiding Threat
ened Tie-Up.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81 U.P) -
Threat of a strike of 5000 far west
ern railroad trainmen vanished to-
day with the settlement of bitter
wage dispute between employees
and officials of the Pacific Electric
Interurban railway.
Terming it "a victory for both
sides" the national labor mediation
board announced compromise had
been reached, providing wage in
creases ranging from three to %
cents an hour.
The controversy over basic wage
rate had ragged several weeks,
threatening not only a strike of P.
E. workers but also a sympathy
walkout of western yardmen and
switchmen of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
lines.
The settlement represented a
compromise between a Sc cent basic
rate offered by the interurban and
a 621a cent scale demanded by en-
ployes.
Under the peace terms, freight
handlers will receive the maximum
increase of 90 cents an hour. Plat
form men operating on short runs
will receive three cents an hour in
crease and those on longer runs six
cents. Half the increase will be-
come effective Jan. l and the other
half, July l.
Fine Christmas Present
William M. LeiserSon, chairman
of the mediation board, said the
settlement was "a splendid Christ
mas present" for all concerned, in
Guiding 100000 commuters who de-
pend upon the P. E. or big Red"
cars for daily transportation.
Employees were represented in
the negotiations by the brother
hoods of railway trainmen and
signalmen.
D. A. Mackenzie of Cleveland,
international vice-president of the
trainmen's brotherhood, said cer-
tain details of the compromise had
to be worked out today with the
mediation board.
"But the strike threat is over"
he added.
The P. E. settlement in no way
involved the current strike of union
employees of the Los Angeles Rail
way company. Officially, the strike
is still ION" but operations of street
cars and buses have been little i'm
paired since the walkout was called
a month ago. The city railway has
steadfastly refused to reinstate the
strikers without loss of seniority
privileges.

Taking of the farm census will be
started on January 2, according to
E. d. Easterling of Riverside, assis-
tant supervisor for District No. 6,
embracing Inyo, Mono, Imperial,
San Diego, San Bernardino, River
side and Orange counties, who was
here today in connection with the
census.
Headquarters for the district are
at Room 90, Mapes building, 392
Court street, San Bernardino, with
Louis H. Hoskins of Anaheim in
charge.
Sixteen enumerators will be re-
quired for the 16 divisions into
which Imperial county is to be
divided. 1t is planned to have
farmers or those connected with
farming to take the census, and so
far as possible to have each enumer-
ator reside in the division which
he covers. Pay is on the piece basis
and ranges from 25 cents to Sc, de-
pending upon road conditions, size
of farms, the distance between
them and other factors.
Easterling urges all farmers and
ranchers who have not received a
sample copy of the schedule to pro-
cure one at the earliest possible
moment so that they may give
