BECK ASKS RALLY
FOR CONSTITUTION
Basic Principles Fighting for
Existence, Declares
Representative.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PRESS.
. A call for a great rally to the de-
fense of the Constitution was sounded
last night by James M. Beck, former
solicitor general and member Of Con-
greSs, who declared the basic princi-
ples of the Constitution are fighting
for their very existence"
I'm recent years, men in high au-
thority, who took solemn oath to
defend the Constitution without res
ervation or mental evasion, have eaten
away vital portions of the Constitu-
tion," he said in radio broadcast Of
the American Liberty League, "some-
times by super subtle Interpretation
and sometimes by bald usurpation.
b*%
e Thoughtful men may well be con-
cerned, not only with clear violations
of the constitutional limitations, but
with abandonment of its basic the
ories.
Human Rights Question.
"For example, there has been an
insistent effort by men in high place
and low place. including those radio
orators who fill the heavens with their
insensate clamor, that We who love
the Constitution are subordinating
human rights to property rights.
Indeed, when the formation of the
American Liberty League was an
nounced, it was suggested that its
founders failed to take sufficient &C
count of human rights.
False Distinction.
"If there be any just distinction
between human rights and property
rights, the American Liberty League
is more concerned with the former
than with the latter. but the distinc-
ton is false and invidious.
rs not the right to property hu-
man right? Property has no rights,
but human beings have right to
property, and it is one of the most an
cient and sacred of all rights. The
cave dWeller would have defended
with his life the flint that he fash
ioned from a rock for his self-defense,
and the sanctity of contract and the
right to property have ever since been
the very essence of civilization"

4 Because of the increasing

of Air Commerce, has arranged to
cooperate with the Justice Depart

Frequently Have Experience.
Special agents of J. Edgar Hoover's
bureau frequently are called upon to
investigate suspects who have had
flying experience. Recently they
learned that fugitive implicated in
the robbery of mail messenger in
Pennsylvania was interested in avia-
ton. He had used several aliases"
and these were supplied to the Com
merce Department with request that
the aviation files be searched for such
q name.
The Bureau of Air Commerce had
record of a student license issued un-
der one of the aliases, and were able
to give Hoover's men an accurate de-
scription of the mans physical ap-
pearance-information of great value
in the hunt for him.
Aviation license records furnish an
important clue to the identity Of the
writer of extortion letters threatening
to kidnap the daughter of the late

HOOVER HOLDS
CONF FERENCE:S
WITH LEADERS
Former President Silent About
Nations Political Affairs After
Numerous Discussions

NEW YORK, Aug. Is. WP-For-
mer President Herbert Hoover, de-
laying his return to California to
deal with personal affairs" con-
tinued today series Of conferences
with national Republican party
leaders that has engaged him since
Monday.
Mr.. Hoover has been sounding
eastern Republican leadership for
ideas that might be used in the
1895 G. o. P. campaign to unseat
President Roosevelt. He took time
between business meetings of the
New York Life Insurance company
and two charitable organizations to
confer with more than two dozen
leaders of his party.
What he heard he kept strictly to
himself.
One Of his visitors was Charles
D. Hilles, New York Republican
national committeeman who popu-
larly is supposed to speak for fl
nancial interests that formerly re-
garded Mr.. Hoover coldly. The two
rode together from Mr.. Hoover's
hotel to the New York Life direc-
tors meeting.
Previously it was reported, Mr..
Hoover conferred with Theodore
Roosevelt, Ogden L. Mills, former
treasury secretary, and David A.
Reed, former Pennsylvania senator.
Mr.. Hoover planned TO depart for
his California home this afternoon.
CHICAGO, Aug. Is. UP-Her-
bert Hoover, who paused in Chicago
four days ago to deliver a stinging
attack on President Roosevelt, will
return here tomorrow for series
of hotel-room conferences with
midwest Republican leaders.
The former President leaves New
York today enroute back to his
home in California.
Invitations were received by
friends of Mr.. Hoover in several
grass roots" Republican states ask
ing them to meet with him infor-
mally at the Drake hotel. Among
the conferees probably will be Silas
H. Strawn and George F. Getz,
treasurer of the Republican national
committee.
1t was reported that Mr.. Hoover,
titular head of the G. o. P. forces,
might outline a proposal of 1885
campaign strategy conforming with
his statement of last Sunday charg-
ing President Roosevelt with "dic-
tatorial" ambitions.

SORDID CRIME:
REVEALED IN
NEW JERSEY

CHATSWORTH, N. j., Aug. Is.
UP)-The nude body of a man, ap-
parently the victim of "mutila-
ton" operation, was found today
in a shallow, lime-filled grave in
woods about two miles from here.
The mans features were unrecog-
nizable because of the action of
the lime.
Ellis H. Parker, chief of Burling-
ton county detectives, said he be-
lieved the man had been brought
to the woods alive about three days
ago. He said the time element
had been established because OF the
freshness OF nearby blood stains.
Clothes of a good quality" were
found near the body in the eight
inch deep grave which police said
they thought had been scooped by
hand. Chief Parker said he thought
the man had been stripped and mu-
tilated near the grave.
The body was discovered by John
Brooms, a huckleberry picker, who
said he had been attracted to the
scene of the crime by buzzards
hovering overhead. He showed
police where there was blood on
shrubbery near the road, and what
had been a pool of blood, about SO
feet from the grave.

ITALY Gets
PEACE PLAN
FROM BRITAIN
Reply From MussOlini Expected
To Be Received At Conference
Tomorrow In Paris
BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1885, by United Press)
PARIS, Aug. 15.-A British pro-
posal to preserve peace in East
Africa was submitted to Italy to-
clay and a reply from Benito Mus
solini was hoped for by tomorrow.
Anthony Eden, chief British
delegate in the three-power French
British Italian conference to start
formally tomorrow, outlined his
governments plan to Premier Pierre
Laval.
Laval submitted it today to Baron
Pompeo Aloisi of Italy. Aloisi was
to report at once to Mussolini
After a talk which lasted an hour
and a half, Aloisi left Lavals Of
flee, looking grim and displeased.
Laval issued a two sentence COM
munique:
81 had preliminary conversations
with Baron Aloisi. Tomorrow
morning the meeting of the sigma
tories of the 1906 treaty will take
place"
The signatories are France, Brit
ain and Italy and the conference
will be held under its terms which
are that the countries guarantee
Ethiopias integrity.
Alternative proposals have been
discussed in event that-as expected
the British plan proves unsatis-
factory to Mussolini.
1t will then be Laval's task, as
self f-selected mediator between Great
Britain and Italy, to seek an ap-
proach between Italian demands
and the limit of British concession
to Italy's expansionist ambitions.
The plan, it was learned, was for
Eden to read his plan for peace at
the first of the formal three-power
meetings tomorrow. The plan was
said to be in documentary form
and was reported authoritatively
to envisage:
l. Important economic conces-
sionS for Italy in Ethiopia.
2. A proposal that Italy be given
the right to colonize and exploit
rich, sparsely inhabited portions of
the Ethiopian uplands probably
under a League of Nations Ian
date as is provided for former Ger
man colonies in article XXI Of
the League of Nations covenant.
3. The offer of an outlet direct to
the sea for Ethiopia, as measure
of compensation for its concessions.

SENATE GIVES
APPROVAL To
TAX MEASURE
WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. W.p
The Senate, in an unusual
burst of speed, late today passed
the "new deals" tax bill levying
about S25O,OOO,00O on rich indi-
viduals and large corporations.
BY ii. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. U.P)-
Sen. Robert M. LaFollette CProg)
Wisconsin, pounded his senate desk
in a vain plea to increase taxes on
small incomes today when the sem
ate defeated his proposal for raised
surtax rates to yield some $175,-
100000 revenue.
Racing through the new deaPS"
$3.50, 100000 tax bill, the senate re-
fused LaF'ollette's effort to con-
vert the measure into vehicle for
levying against smaller incomes.
His first proposal was to increase
surtax rates by beginning their i'm
position at $4,000 instead of $4,000.
1t was defeated, 81 to 10.
Collapse of the proposal to broad
en- the tax program took most of
the fight out of the senate debate
and raised the possibility the bill
might be passed today. Sen. Huey
L AOllS NDC1IlO, hOuloAoAAeis nelo AAOS
present to delay consideration by
discussing his share our wealth
plan.
Senate leaders hoped to complete
action on the bill by tomorrow,
leaving the way open for adjourn
ment of congress next week.
Irritated by senators who sug-
gested that increased taxes would
destroy initiative, discourage busi-
ness and reduce the total national
income, young Bob" punctuated
his announcements with fist
thumpings and declared:
mo one getting 100000 a year
after all deductions are made will
refuse to draw his income because
he is asked to pay another 5000, 900.
"If he does, there are plenty of
persons who would be glad to
change places with him"

SEARCH MADE
FOR RPR|NCESS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Is. UR) -
Search for Princess Rubie Sale,
who disappeared from the exposi-
ton at San Diego, was shifted
here today with the arrival of her
father, Prince M. u. M. Sale, Cey-
lonese gem dealer.
He said he received a telephone
call yesterday advising him that
his daughter was dancing in Los
Angeles cafe. In the excitement
of receiving the news he neglected
to inquire for the name of the cafe,
he told officers of the missing per-
sons bureau.
A detail of men was sent out 10
check ali local cafes using dancers.
The 22-year-old princess dis
appeared from San Diego a week
ago. She purchased round trip
ticket to New York.
She was believed to have come
to Los Angeles to seek refuge with
friends. She attended local school
for five years.
Prince Sale said his daughter
had been dissatisfied with life un-
der the ancient traditions OF her
people and had desired to seek the
greater freedom of occidental life.
Friends said she has planned Tor
weeks to forsake her religion and
customs and eventually go to Eng
land, the home of her mother, the
former Elsie Goldsborougn.

He says: will you please include in
your reply definite statement adj
vising that you are in position
to supply necessary rights of way
for this project without cost to the
state or federal government and al
so outline to what extent county
equipment could be furnished for

later to undertake the job by day

Want Day Work
The board had indicated in a
resolution forwarded to the highway
division that it could provide not
less than five dump trucks with
drivers for hauling materials, pro-
Vided that the work be undertaken
as day labor project, also that
county equipment could not be pro-
vided for this work in case the job
were contracted The county farm
bureau directors had concurred with
the supervisors in a similar reSolu
ton relative to this road.
A. Y. Preble, chairman of the
board of supervisors, this morning
ansfered Wallace's letter pledging
100 rer cent cooperation of the
board in furthering this project.
Wallace had requested an immediate
answer to his letter in order that
approval of the project might not
be further delayed and that con-
struction might get under way at
the earliest possible moment.
This road, which would provide
a direct paved outlet for the ranch
ers of the north end and the west
ern part of the valley to Los An
geles markets, was approved by the
county supervisors and farm bureau
early this year and then transmitted
TO the state highway division for
further action. 1t is hoped ulti-
mately that the road will be con-
tinued south through the valley to
connect with the CaleXico-Seeley
paved highway near the Mexican
border. Other valley road improve
ments were also sought but this
was considered to be the most i'm
portant and received first call on

augurated by the federal government
as part of its WPA program here.

OPEN VERDICT
IN DEATH OF
MRS. JANE: {

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IS. U.P) =
A coroner's jury was unable to de-
eide today whether the death of
Mrs Mary James, fifth wife of Ro-
bert James, beauty parlor opera
tor, was accidental, suicidal, or
homicidal."
Five of the jurors joined in the

mitted minority report agreeing
that her death was caused by "ac-
cidental drowning"
LOS ANGELES, Aug. Is. U.P) =
Mrs. Mary James, 27, fifth wife OF
Robert James, beauty parlor oper-
ator, drowned when she swooned
and fell into a fish pond at the
rear of her home August 5, DR.. A,
F. Wagner, chief county autopsy
surgeon, said today at the opening
of an inquest into her death.
DR.. Wagner expressed the belief
that the bite of poisonous insect
possibly a black widow spider, was
contributory inasmuch as it might
have induced the fainting.
"It is my belief" DR.. Wagner
said, "that Mrs. James was seized
by a fainting spell and she stood
beside the fish pond and that she
fell into the water in a swoon.
found considerable water in her
lungs but there was no evidence
of disease of any kind or poison or
other foreign matter in the vital
lungs"
Mrs. James was an ezpectant
mother and DIR. Wagner said tul-
ther that he found a normal con-
dition of six weeks pregnancy"
Mrs. James husband was ques-
toned after her body was found.
Officers &cted that his third wife
had drowned in a bathtub in Mani
tou, Colorado. He was cleared OF
any suspicion. The fifth Mrs.
James was a bride of three weeks.
DR.. Wagner's report confirmed a
statement made by Mrs. James in
an unfinished letter found in her
home and addressed to her sister.
In it she said she believed she had
been stung on the leg by an in
sect.
The physician said he found an
acute case of cellulitis present and
explained cellulitis was an inflam-
alton of the cellular tissues caused,
in this instance, by the sting of an
insect.
James stated before the inquest
opened that he never had seen a
black widow spider at his La Cres-
centa home but that there were
numerous insects about the place.
