Found guilty yesterday Of refus-

assembly when told to do so by an
officer of the law, Flavio BuSta-
mente, Refugio Salazar and David
Martinez will be sentenced tomor-
row morning. The trial was by
jury in the BraWley justice court
with Judge Griffin presiding. The
jury deliberated over its verdict less
than an hour.
These men had been arrested in
Brawley during the recent lettuce
strike and their trial had started
last Wednesday morning.
In CaleXico the trial of Emma
Cutler, c. A. Hoffman and Clar-
ence Lynch, three other alleged
agitatorS in the same strike, seems
to have run into other difficulties.
After consuming over weeks
time in the empaneling of a jury
for this trial and the submission
of evidence, the jury which has
been considering this evidence since
yesterday was not ready to make
its report to Judge Lorenz this
noon.
E. Dubard, l.. Ramos, Pete Bun
mel and Lewis Highley appeared be-
fore Judge Gruble in Calipatria
yesterday afternoon, charged with
disturbing the peace in connection
with the pea pickers strike. The
men pleaded not guilty and We're
brought back to the county Jail
under $100 bonds each. The re-
manning nine who had been arrest
ed Sunday in Calipatria, pleaded
guilty to the charge and were Civ
en- sentences of 80 days each in the
county Jail suspended on condition
that they leave the valley imme-
diately.
A survey of the Calipatria area
made by the sheriff's office this
morning showed that pickers were
at work in all the fields and that
there was no longer any need for
the presence of deputies to protect
the workers or prevent any dem
onstrations by agitators.

NEW YORK BRIDGE
OFFICIAL ACCUSED
La Guardia Charges Commits
Sioner Received Fee for
Leasing Offices.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 10.-A sensa-
tion in Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia's
investigation of the Tammany regime
he toppled from power came today with
a disclosure that charges Of misconduct
had been filed against Fred c. Lemmer-
man, commissioner Of the Tri-Borough
Bridge authority, which is in charge of
a $50 1000 900 bridge project.
The charges were filed on behalf of
the mayor by his new commissioner of
accounts. Paul Blanshard, long foe Of
the old city administration. and now
conducting an exhaustive inquiry into
its acts.
Lemmerman was accused of receiving
1890 as a brokerage fee from the
owners Of a building for consummating
a lease for bridge authority Offices.
The rental for the Offices, in the f.
nancial district, was fixed at $4,000
a year.
The bridge authority is in charge Of
giant span linking Manhattan, the
Bronx and Queens. work on which has
hCCli oldL ICO.
Lemmerman, an appointee of former
Mayor John P. O'Brien. was sum-
moned to appear before La Guardia on
January % to answer TO the charges.
The case. growing out of the commits
sioner Of accounts power to investigate,
is not court matter. Under State
law setting up the bridge authority, the
mayor is authorized to remove a COM
missioner for misconduct or neglect
after l0-dayS notice
Blanshard accused Zimmerman of
waste of public funds" and excessive
payments" in renting the Offices at
$1,000 month. He said kemmerman
was guilty of gross impropriety," and
that his explanations have been either
SO incomplete or SO unworthy OF
credence as not to constitute acceptable
explanations"
The alleged fee. Blanshard said. was
paid by check last October to F. c.

AWAITS WALLACE
ON PROCESS TAXES
Senate Agriculture Group De-
sires to Hear Him on Its
Operation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Agriculture Committee
today was awaiting word from Secre-
tary Wallace as to when he will appear
before the group to explain the work.
ings OF the processing taxes provided
for in the farm adjustment act
Secretary Wallace was notified yes
terday the committee would like to
hear him some time this week. The
request for his appearance was made
by Senator Smith of South Carolina,
chairman of the committee
Senator Smith has suggested several
times that the Accent levy on lint
cotton be repealed.
He said. however, no measures for
repeal of the tax or any of the other
levies were before his committee and
indicated he did not intend to press
for such legislation.
Chairman Jones Of the House Agri-
culture Committee also said he felt the
processing tax feature of the act would
be left untouched. He added he had
heard some complaints about the hog
tax and that it was partly responsible
for present low prices to producers.
Senator Carey, Republican. of Wy
omlng, has introduced a resolution for
an explanation from the Farm Ad-
ministration of the recent drop in pork
prices, and Wallace probably will be
asked to go over the swine situation.
1t is the contention of those who
oppose processing taxes that the farm
er, instead Of the consumer, pays them.
and that they depress agricultural
prices.
Farm Administration officials reply
that this may be true in some rare
instances, but they contend the farmer
ultimately receives the benefit, because
the tax raises funds to pay the producer
to control production and get rid Of
surpluses, thus clearing the way for
price increases.

,y the Associated Press.

MADISON, Wis, January l0.-Farm
fertilizers soon may be used to pro-
mote growth Of game fish as a result
OF experiments conducted by University
of Wisconsin scientists.
Reporting the progress Of their work,
DR.. E. A. Birge, 83year president
emeritus Of the university, and DR..
Chauncey Juday, professor Of Imnology,
today said the application of super
phosphate and lime to the waters of
Weber Lake resulted In the blooming"
Of certain forms of algae
If ordinary farm fertilizer can stim-
ulate growth Of marine plant life it
will indirectly promote growth Of game
flsh because they depend largely upon
such vegetation for food, the report
stated
Earlier research by the scientists re-
vealed that many Wisconsin lakes have
insufficient natural food for fish which
inhabit them even though the lakes are
understocked. The experiments showed
that constant stocking Of such lakes
either would retard the growth of fish
or cause their death by starvation.

DENVER. January l0.-Both former
United States Senator Charles s.

brought.

gold in her possession and on another
count of having failed to report her
gold holdings to the internal revenue
collector.
Il realize that In my course Of action
am facing severe penalty should I
be tried and found guilty" she said
Il do not believe the Government can
take the money from me legally and do
not propose to give up the gold until

ernment has the constitutional power

tice and the Federal Reserve Board

White HOUSE REPAIRS
FUND ADDED TO BILL
Appropriations Group Favors $780,.
600 for Upkeep Of Executive
Mansion.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt wouldn't ask for
s50,000 to repair the White House, but
the House Appropriations Committee
wants to give it to him anyhow.
In his annual budget message he asked
1878, ,419 to run the executive Offices
next year. including salaries and every
thing. The Appropriations Committee
recommended today that $50000 be
added because of this testimony by
Lieut.. E. r. Lock, Army engineer:
over the past Is years it has been
customary to appropriate that amount
($50.000 every two or three years.. The
building is quite an old building, and
the amount to take care of it has never
been really sufficient to keep it in first
class shape. The flooring gets very
badly worn and the rugs become
threadbare. Those conditions are really
not appropriate for that type of build
ing.
THE value of the building, imagine,
is around $2,500,000, and for similar
buildings elsewhere a greater amount
for upkeep Is usually spent"
