NOTED STAGE
FIGURE DIES

LOS ANGELES, Nov, 20. UP -
Col. George Frederic Hinton, II,
who once managed the various ca
reerS of Lillian Russell, John Philip
Sousa, Elsie Janis, Blanche Ring,
Fred Stone and other stars, died
at the Sawtelle soldiers home late
yesterday after undergoing an op-
Grafton for stomach ailment.
At the outbreak OF the World
war, Hinton abandoned his man
agerial work to help Col. William
Hayward organize the fifteenth
New York infantry, later the three
hundred and sixty-ninth infantry.
He went to France with the A.
E. F. and was awarded the French
Officer D'Academie for valian'
service.
He is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Nancy Belle Hinton, and
daughter, Margaret Sousa Hinton,
both of whom are in England. The

were fully protected in the proposed
treaty.
Swing stated that on his trip
back to Washington, should the
board assign this work to him, he
could stop in the north basin states
and see what plans were being
made there in the matter of this
proposed water division and also in
regard to the contents of the pros
pectiye water treaty.
The question of a possible eXten-
sion of force account work on the
All American canal was also dis
cuSSed. Resolutions were presented
on this matter to the board from
the Caiexico Chamber of Com
merce. the CaleXico American lie.
gion Post and the county Repubh
can central committee.
TIL first of these asked the board
10 use its influence to secure the eX-
tension of this force account work
IN that section Of the canal west OF
the sand Hills which has not as
vet been allocated by contract to be
done under any other method OF
work.
In the second resolution the LIE
gion pest asked the district board
to make possible arrangements TO
secure the unallocated portion OF
the Sl.000,00O already set aside by
the government for this force ac-
count work to be applied to further
excavation operations in the CaleX,
leo section, thus offering a further
opportunity for employment to men
in that part of the valley, and also
assuring the continuation OF the
force account method of operation.
The resolution presented by the
Republican committee was OF ge-
neral nature and touched upon the
further use of force account con-
struction in the excavation of the
canal. Rose informed the board that
the county Democratic committee
had adopted a similar resolution,
which had been forwarded to the
state central committee, asking that
group 10 take further action in the
matter.
1t was Swings opinion that it
would be better to wait until after
December Is before making any
concerted drive for additional force
account in order to receive reports
on conditions existing in the county
at that time and also on the rela-
tive costs Of the force account and
contract methods as seen in actual
operation in the county.
Further discussion OF these prob
lens followed the noon recess when
the board reconvened at ? o'clock.

SHOUSE GIVES
LEAGUE PLAN

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. U.Pl -
Jouett Shouse, in the first eX-
tended statement since formation,
today presented the American Lib
erty league as a balance wheel
to maintain the nation on the
path of true democracy.
Addressing the Bond club of
New York, Shouse emphasized
there was no intent to fight the
President tooth and nall
Wherever possible" said Shou-
Sc, explaining that he spoke pri-
marily for himself but in express
sion of the general views of the
league directors, the league will
endeavor to advance and to uphold
measures offered by the admins
tration which 1t can approve.
1T will criticize only when crit
icism seems necessary. Such crit
icism as it shall offer will be con-
Structive in its concept and based
upon the board appreciation of the
welfare of the whole people of
! the country"
Shouse gave modified approval
of the NRA and expressed general
regard for the attitude of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
He laid down his chief attack
on policies of the agricultural ad-
justment administration and the
tendency toward "autocratic bur-
eaucracy" which he asserted was
not instituted by the Roosevelt
! administration but had been con-
tinued by it.
The Presidents banking speech,
Shouse said. must be taken as
an assurance of investors and to
those who control the machinery
of investment that maintenance
! Of the rights of private property
forms an integral part Of the ad-
ministation's program"
The league, he said, would con-
! centrate activity on future legis-
lation and emergency measures
which will be reconsidered at the
next congress.
