To SHOOTING

Russell King, 80, son of Mont
gomery County Commissioner
Charles E. King, of Clarksburg,
Md, is in a critical condition to-
day after having been shot by a
disgruntled employe last night.
The shooting occurred in front
Of Bars store, Clarksburg. shortly
after the elder Mr.. King had
taken his oath of office as
county commissioner.
His assailant, John Brown.
colored, 20, of Clarksburg, shot
himself and died instantly.
Witnesses said that Brown, who
had worked on a farm of Com
missioner King near Boyd, Md.
came up to Mr.. King as he
alighted from his automobile in
ClarkSburg. A few words were
exchanged and the colored man
then drew a gun and fired five
times. One shot entered Mr..
Kings hip. Another his back.
The colored man fled.
DR.. Upton Nourse treated Mr..
King and ordered him rushed
to the Frederick (MdO hospital
where his condition today is de.
clared serious.

Dogs In Hotels
To the Editor of The Times:
There seems to be in many
hotels in Washington a preju-
dice against taking in dogs,
which makes a great hardship
on the tourists visiting your
city. The writer has had to
put her well-trained, quiet and
inoffenSive dog in the kennel
while here, which not only is
expensive but injurious to the
health of an animal, due TO
lack of exercise and crowded
space.
Hotels take noisy children
and all conditions of humanity
and 1t seems unfair to draw
the line on a dog, provided it
is quiet and housebroken and
of the small, toy variety.
I have taken my dog to
nearly every State and to Can.
ada and Mexico in my travels
and never had any difficulty
in having it accepted by hotels,
but here I have encountered
considerable trouble, as it seems
almost an unwritten law to
bar dogs.
After all, animal lovers to a
certain extent support hotels
and keep them open and have
rights. D. A. D.

PATRONIZE YOUR MERCHANTS

earnings in Imperial Valley of which
they are a part. So too will outside men
whom the contractors find it necessary
to bring in on the job.
A determined campaign to keep money
paid out on the canal in Imperial Valley,
is to be waged. A similar campaign
among residents of the valley who are
not working on the canal would not be
out of place.
Local merchants have carried on dur
ing the past five years in the face of tre-
mendous difficulties. They have
stretched credit to the limit and beyond
to help those who were feeling the
pinch of depression. They have paid
their taxes, aided in community activities
and have demonstrated their faith in
their community by heavy investments.
They deserve the fullest support of
the buying public, instead of being ig-
nored by those who persist in buying out
of town. Their wares and prices being
comparable with those elsewhere, loyal
ty to the home institutions alone should
dictate patronizing them to the limit.
There are very few who have been CIV
en- credit by outside merchants during
the past five years. 1t is grossly unfair
to patronize the local merchants when
credit is needed and to spend ready
money with outside firms.
Construction of the All-American
canal, plus the continual lure o. Cali
fornia, is going to bring many tourists
here this winter. They will expect them
to spend their money here and they un-
doubtedly will, but it should not be left
to them. They should have the example
of local residents being loyal to their
community and their merchants. If this
is done, there will be no vacant stores
in the business section.
Imperial Valley press., 1934-09-13

Two weeks ago this column remarked
that Imperial Valley was "at the turn"
in business, with. the arrival of Labor
day. Last week we quoted local mer-
chant as stating that business had i'm
proved gradually since the rain the day
With the opening af/school only a few
days away, marking fhe resumption of
full activity in the valley, the increase in
business noted last week is even more
pronounced now.
True our water situation is not all
that we would like to have it, but there
is better than even chance that it will
improve rather than grow more serious.
Despite all our worries we have come
through difficult summer season and
the approach of fall, always harbinger
of better things, is even more bright this
year
Merchants have indicated their faith
in better business by stocking their
shelves more than ever before They
have prepared to give the people of Ell
Centre prices and service that cannot be
challenged.
Observation in the business section
and talks with merchants show that the
people-the buying pubhc-are taking
advantage of the offer. There is much
more business activity to be noticed than
there was two weeks ago, and merchants
state that it is slowly but steadily in
creasing day by day.
In this connection it might be pointed
out that it is only reasonable to expect
that construction of the All-American
canal is going to have beneficial effect
on local business. Valley men are being
given jobs on the canal and more will
follow as the work is speeded up.
These men will naturally spend their

ACTION OF RESCUE SHIP CAPTAIN
CRITICIZED BY TWO ASSISTANTS
Officers Declare He Failed To Use Oppor-
tunity To Save Passengers Aboard MORO
Castle During Disaster

NEW YORK, Sept. 13. U.P)-The
Captain of the S. S. President Cleve-
land, answering an S. o. S. from
the burning MORO Castle, failed to
take full advantage of his oppor-
tunity to save victims, two of the
Cleveland's officers charged today
before federal inquiry.
The chief officer and the third
assistant officer criticized Captain
Robert Carey of the Cleveland. con-
tending that life boats should have
been lowered earlier and that the
maneuvering of the Cleveland could
have been such that some victims of
the disaster probably would have
been saved. The Cleveland's rescue
boat failed to pick up any survivors.
The Cleveland'S two officers said
they had confidence in Carey until
they faced the MORO Castle disaS-
ter. In that crisis, they said, they
lost their respect for his competen-
cy and would not serve under him
again.
Carey previously had testified
that there was no delay in aiding
survivors of the burning liner.

Be REMOVED
Action Will Pave Way For Re-
turn OF Archduke Otto And
Former Empress.
BY STEWART BROWN
nited Press staff Correspondent

United Press staff Correspondent
Copyright, 1884, BY United Press
VIENNA, Sept. 13.-The Austrian
government intends to rescind the
Hapsburg exclusion law soon, the
United Press was informed today.
1t may mean that Archduke Otto,
claimant to the throne, and his
mother, former Empress Zita, may
return to Austria before Christ
mas, although as private citizens.
Annulment of the exclusion act
would not mean restoration Of
the Hapsburg in Austria. It might
eventually, but not for the time be-
ing.
1t would mean the family could
return to Austria as "private cit
liens" and repossess estates and
property which the state confiscat-
ed in 1eN).
AS a first step, the government
soon will open negotiations with
representatives of the HapSburg
family concerning property to be
restored and indemnities to be
paid, the United Press was inform
ed.
In maky instances the govern
ment cannot and does not want to
restore everything of private ma
ture it seized in 1919. Some Haps-
burg property already has been
sold into private hands, or is of
such nature the government wishes
to keep it.
In the latter category fall the
Hapsburg art treasures. Much of
this art, now in the public museums,
was the private property of the
family. Many of the fine italian
masterpieces were "ma-ried' into
the family's possession. For those
the state might indemnify the
Hapsburgs.
The entire cabinet is agreed, it
was understood, that Austria must
right the wrong it committed in
1919 when it confiScated all prop
erty of the Hapsburgs no matter
from whence it came.
The government considers the
exclusion act of 1919 as an inter
nal question in which the foreign
powers have no say. AS soon as it
can it intends to let the Hapsburgs
come back as private citizens.
Many believe that even if the ex-
clusion act were cancelled Otto
and Zita would not return. They
would only consent to come back
to the land from which they were
banished on condition Otto were
given the throne Of his father, the
late Emperor Karl ".

returned from the Maine campaign
with statement that hereafter the
fight against liquor will be lone OF

the fight will be for the liberation
of man from the influence of Ii
quor, freedom of states from liquor
traffic and release of industry and
social progress from alcoholic de
moralization.

sided from start to finish" and the
