TRAIN KILLS
CAMP YOUTH

Falling under the wheels of a
Southern Pacific freight train at

north of the Euclid avenue crossing

made by police, O'Day with another
youngster named Glenn Bush OF
Ada, Oklahoma, was registered at
the local federal transient camp
Today they we're to have been
taken to another camp in Los An
geles devoted entirely to boys but
left the local camp last night in
tending to get to Los Angeles be-
fore the others. Bush, 1t is said,
ran away from the scene of the &C
Acident and has not been located.

cero, ILL.,, and has an uncle, Robert
, ODay, one of the officials at the

this contract declared illegal.
In his opening argument this
morning Horton called attention
to certain legislative acts relating
to irrigation district affairs and
pointed out that owing to its size,
it contains more than 100000 acres,
the Imperial District is not bound
by the laws pertaining to smaller
districts in all respects.
In this regard the local dis
trict can take certain action for
the protection of its property with
out calling an election of the free
holders of the district to approve
the same. 1t also takes away the
limitations to the amount of the
assessment which can be raised
by the district, Horton said, adding
that he brought this up because
the allegation in the complaint in
timated that this district is limited
in its scope and power of action.

RICHARDSON
QUITS RACE
Merriam's Chance Believed
Strengthened For Governors
Job.

SAN FRANCISCO, June II. U.H
Friend w. Richardson, state
building and loan commissioner
and former governor, today an
nounced he will not seek the Re-
publican nomination for governor
but will support the candidacy of
acting Governor Frank F. Merriam.
Richardson urged other candi-
dates to withdraw in favor of
Merriam in order to present a
united front" within the party.
Governor Merriam has a record
of II years of faithful, intelligent,
honest and able service to the
state" Richardson's statement read.
IT will support him whole heart
edly.
"a number of good men are
seeking the Republican nomination.
I'm the interest of good govern
ment these candidates might we'll
retire and unite to face the men,
ace of Socialist Upton Sinclair who
seems to have the Democratic
nomination within his grasp"
Richardson conferred with Mer-
riam at Sacramento last week.
Reports said Merriam may appoint
him to the post of state banking
superintendent to replace Edward
Rainey.
SACRAMENTO, Calf, June IL.
U.P)-Ex-Gov. Friend w. Richard
sons announcement that he would
support acting Gov. Frank F. Mer-
riam in the gubernatorial contest
was regarded by politicians today as
the most significant development in
Merriam's campaign for election.
Following closely the death OF
Gov. James Rolph, Jr., which auto
matically boosted Merriam to the
chief executives position, Richard
sons action made Merriam the out
standing candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination, observers believed.
Richardson has been a power in
California politics for more than a
decade, holding wide influence in
the conservative element of the par
ty. His support. added to the fact
Merriam will be publicized daily
during his reorganization of the
Rolph administration, will in the
opinion of many, give the acting
governor a decided advantage in the
primary election.
In return for his support, Rich
ardson will have the choice of al
most any appointive position he de-
sires, politicians believed. Merriam
may appoint him state banking sup
erintendent, or state finance direc-
tor, replacing Edward Rainey or
ROLAND Vandegrift, although Rich
ardson said he did not want the fin
ance dictatorship. Either job would
pay him $4,000 year-the same
salary received by the governor.
Many of the questions surround
ing Merriam's shakeup plans were
expected to be answered this week,
with the governor completing ar
rangementS to oust many of the
Rolph appointees and deciding de-
finitely whether to call special ses-
sion of the legislature.

NEW HARBORS BILL
HEARING PLANNED
Dozen Major Projects Ap-
proved-0mnibus Meas.
ure to Be Drafted.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With favorable reports on nearly q
dozen new major projects ready for its
consideration, the House Rivers and
Harbors Committee will start hearings
tomorrow to draft an omnibus bill such
as has not been enacted by Congress
since 1880.
The committee reported a measure to
the last Congress calling for $50, 900 900
to be spent on l3o projects, but it was
not adopted.
Since that time impetus has been
given to rivers and harbors projects
through Public Works Administration
allotments totaling approximately sl25,-
100000.
Chairman Mansfield Democrat Texas,
in announcing yesterday that an omni-
bus mec sure was definitely contemplated,
explained that the public works allot-
ments made no provision for mainte-
nance OF the projects after completion
Hence Congress must approve them so
they may be kept up after public works
funds cease. He added it would be "a
waste OF money not to authorize them.
New Money Involved.
The projected measure while calling
for 500. 0,000 in the aggregate. would
involve only about S25 100000 in new
money because Of public works allot-
ments. The bill passed four years ago
involved about s145 100000.
Maj. Gen. Edgar NJ Markham will
appear before the committee for the
first time in his new capacity as chief
Of Army Engineers. Engineers from
the Public Works Administration also
are among the witnesses to be called.
Although requests of individual mem
bers for prior consideration of projects
reported to the House by the Army
Engineers sometimes are granted, the
reports before the committee normally
might be expected to be the first taken
up. They include projects scattered
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans
The committee at preliminary
meeting adopted resolutions calling for
Army Engineers reports on 10 projects,

SECURITY
PLAN IS EXPLAINED
Two Reasons Are Given for
Farm ard Home Loan
Bond Proposals.
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
Administration spokesmen explained
yesterday that a twofold purpose lay
back Of the plan Of the Government
to guarantee both the principal and
interest of farm and home loan bonds
Such plan was outlined Friday end
measures to carry it out will be in
troduced this week
The administration explanation OF
the reason for the Government guar
| anteeing the S4,00o,000,C00 Of bonds
was:
To check a tendency toward heavy
! discounting when the bonds appear
| on the open market.
To make them more attractive
| in the words of the spokesmen, Ito
give any doubling Thomases' fiat un-
conditional guarantee"
These in turn, 1t was pointed out
would Offset any tendency toward slow
sale of the bond issues.
At present the interest only and
not the principal is guaranteed by the
Government, but officials said that In
view Of the fact that the bonds guar
anteed interest until paid" they were
backed by a virtually perpetual guar
antee.
Proposal Creates Surprise.
Word that President Roosevelt de-
sired legislation to guarantee tae pr-n-
cipal of the bonds produced some sur
prise on the part of congressional
leaders. who said they did not see the
necessity for a guarantee but that If
the President desired it, it would be
| done.
Chairman Steagall of the House
Banking Committee was one of those,
saying that IF a man is given the
choice between foreclosing on a house
he can't sell or taking the bonds on
which the Government guarantees the
interest, he isn't going to hesitate
long"
A member Of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, William F. Stevenson. re-
Gently said MS organization was ex-
periencing no difficulty in selling the
bonds.
While the bonGs place a new burden
on the Treasury, they represent a COL
lateralized burden, backed by the prop
