Holtville this morning which in
vestigated the shooting of Guade-
lupe Lopez, 10, on the Starner

their home and the younger Lopez
ran out to get away from his olt1r
brother. He seized a 30 calibre
rifle leaning against the outside of
the house and pointed it at his
brother, not knowing the gun was
loaded. He pulled the trigger and
his brother dropped to the ground
with a bullet through his heart,
death being almost instantaneous.

OPPONENTS Of
LONG SEEKING
FOR CON TROL
Split In Followers Of Late
'Kingfish' Seen AS Chance
To Grab Power.
By II. FEMRITE

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW ORLEANS, Sept 23.-While
two powerful leaders of the political
machine set up by the late Huey P.
Long today stood divided. oppon
ents of the dictatorship hoped TO
form a wedge to push their CUB
ernatorial candidate into office.
Opponents Of the Long machine
combined forces behind Congress-
man Cleveland Dear of the eighth
district in a drive to elect Dear as
governor.
Meanwhile in the Long camp
there was confusion. Split in two
factions, observers said it was doubt
full if they would compose their diff
ferences. One faction was led by
Gov. Oscar K. Allen, nominal head
Of the Long political machine, and
the other by Lieut.. Gov. James A.
Noe of north Louisiana.
Noes heated declaration that he
would run for governor even though
he lacked the support of Governor
Allen and a group of south Louisi-
ana followers of the slain king
fish" presented a direct challenge
to the Allen element. The situa-
ton found two sets of staunch Long
men from north and south sections
of the state in strong bid for
control of his hierarchy.
Claiming that he had been sold
down the river" by the Allen for
ces who met Saturday to decide on
candidates, Noe contended that he
was the logical man to carry on the
Long traditions. He declared that
his friends are sticking with me. >
The slate chosen by the Allen
group ignored Noe and bore the
names of Judge Richard w. Leche
for governor, and Earl K. Long, bro
ther of the murdered senator, for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Wade o. Mar
tin, public service commissioner,
will receive Aliens appointment for
the unexpired term of Senator Long.

ton for the siX-year term in the

dent happened, three miles north

ing a fictitious address. He was pick
ed up two hours later and placed

Far AS Possible Pending
Final Court Decision.

Imperial county's board of super
noon to aid in furthering the pro-
gram of the irrigation district for
the electrification of the county
rural areas. At 4;30 the county
board was to hold a special meet
ing to consider the request of the
district directors for granting fran
chises to construct and maintain
electric pole lines and transmit cleo
trio current along all county roads,
streets alley and highways and
other public rights Of way.
Notices calling this special meet
ing have been sent TO all the mem
bers of the county board. Hugh T.
Osborne, the only member out of
the county at present, was con-
tacted by telegraph in Lapeer,
Michigan, where he is visiting his
mother who is seriously ill.
Osborne was asked to reply by
telegram before the meeting this
afternoon, giving his consent to
holding this special meeting and
also to taking action on the matters
to be brought up before the board
for their deliberation.
1t was expected that the supervi-
sors will stand behind the district
directors in their program for rural
electrification of the county as an
integral part of the general power
program sponsored by the district
to generate and distribute Allan
erican canal power under the sup
ervision of the district itself.
District Pushes Program
Step by step this program is 60
inc the matter to the attention of
the supervisors in this manner indi-
ing he matter to the attention of
he supervisors in his manner indi-
Gates clearly that the district board
has not swerved from its original
intention of following out its pro-
gram in all its details.
This matter of securing franchises
will be pushed despite the fact that
the general power program of the
district is held up temporarily
through court ction brough t
against them by the Nev-Cal cor
poration, pending in federal court.
The latest development in this lit
igation was the action of Judge
Harry Hollzer several days ago, in
modifying the temporary restrain
ing order granted against the dis
trict to permit the directors to make
an application to federal authori-
ties for $13,500,000 with which to car
ry out the program.
Electrification of the rural areas
is a basic portion Of this program,
Though the restraining order has
been granted and in the modifica-
tion of this order the court, while
allowing the district to make the
application for funds, stipulated
that this money could not be accept
ed or used without further order
from the court, the district directors
feel it advisable to secure the nee
essary county franches so when
the litigation is finally cleared up
and if the restrictions against the
power program are lifted, the pro-
gram can get under wdy without
further delays.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-An official
communique on the reason for
British fleet concentration in the
Mediterranean disclosed today the
real gravity of British rela-
tions.
Intended as an assurance to
Italy, the communique said the
concentration, and military and
naval measures generally, were not
intended as a 'maneuver" or any
thing like that but "as natural
consequence of the impression cre-
ated by the violence of the cam
paign against the united kingdom
which has been conducted by the
Italian press during the last few
weeks
The Italian press is closely con-
trolled by Benito Mussolini, hence
the significance of the statement
Sir Eric Drummond, ambassador
to Italy, visited Fulvio Suvich, un-
der secretary for foreign affairs, at
Rome Friday.
They decided, 1t was said author
itatively, that the best means to
reduce tension would be to issue

Origin OF County
Name Asked In
Letter To Clerk

What is the origin of the coun-
ty name Imperial? / am making
a study of name origins and have
found those of all counties but
yours
The above request was contained
in a letter received this morning
by Edward H. Law, county clerk,
from Edna K. Neugebauer of Alta
dena.
Law made inquiries on the mat
ter and found out that the name
of the county was changed in 1902
from the Colorado Desert to the
Imperial Land Company, which Or
ganization was at that time active
in developing this portion of the
state. 1t is probable, he said that
through this company the county
received its present name. Further
information on this subject would
be appreciated at the county clerks
office.
Editors Note: For the county
clerks information, Tout's First
Thirty Years credits L. M. Holt,
then editor of a Riverside paper,
and George Chaffey, with creating
the name Imperial" Chaffey,
who contracted to bring water in
to the desert, did not like the name
"Salton Sink" by which this region
was generally known, as it had an
undesirable sound, Holt, a long
time friend of Chaffey, supervised
the publicity that was printed about
the region and called it Imperial, u
Chaffey agreeing this name was
much better than the other.

Navy Prepares
For Irish

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 22.-Navy
looks forward to the Notre Dame
game in the Baltimore Stadium
Saturday afternoon with q fair
degree of confidence.
Navy people know they will meet
q Notre Dame team which Is much
stronger than Irish teams Of the
past two seasons, which were de-
feated by Navy. On the other
hand, the Navy thinks that its
team this year is stronger and
better balanced than last year and
undoubtedly much stronger in re-
serves, despite the Is loss to
Yale last Saturday.
Two Of the younger Navy
playerS-Bill Ingram and Frank
CaSe-made their mark in the
Yale game. Ingram was playing
his first varsity game and Case,
also a sophomore, had only played
in portions Of small games. Both
are likely to be much in evidence
in the Notre Dame game.
During the week special atten-
ton will be given to the weak
points, as indicated in the game
with Yale, and much time devoted
to defense against the running at
tack, the element Of Notre Danes
attack which is regarded as most
dangerous.

Spence To Train
For 0Iympics

VIRGINIA BEACH. Va, Oct.
22.-Walter Spence, eldest Of the
three swimming Spence boys, and
holder of any number of swim
ming records, including the worlds
mark for the 100-yard breast
stroke, arrived here today to be-
gin training in an effort to make
his third successive olympic
team.
Spence chose Virginia Beach as
his training quarters so that he
might be under the watchful eye
Of Harry Cochran, who in 1928,
shortly after the close of the
Olympic games, took him in hand
and directed him through the
years in which he achieved the
greatest records Of his career.
Cochran, at that time was con-
nected with the Penn A. C. He is
now swimming instructor at the
Cavalier Hotel, in which pool
Spence is training. .....~
Although one Of the oldest anna
teur swimmers still competing,
Spence, a Rutgers graduate, holds
the national collegiate champion
ship in the 100-yard event. Other
records he has held include the
220-yard breast stroke, and the
300-yard medley worlds record.
A native Of British Guiana, and
a citizen Of Great Britain, Spence
competed in 1928, and again in
1892, for the Canadian Olympic
team. He, and his two brothers,
Wallace and Leonard, hope to be
members Of that team again in
1896.
Spence is the first of a group
of weu-known swimmers who are
expected to train for the Olympics
here under the direction Of Mr..
Cochran, who is holder Of many
swimming records himself, and
who is known as one of the best
aquatic trainers in the country.
