UNIFORM TAX
PLAN SOUGHT.

FRESNO, Sept. 26 WR)-Uniform
methods of tax valuation and COM
men standard values in all of Cali
fornia's So counties today were the
aim of delegates to the annual three
clay convention of the County As
SCISSORS association.
J. w. Hartman, chief deputy as
SCISSOR of Los Angeles, stressed the
necessity of county assessors and
the state board of equalization COM
ing to an agreement upon values to
attain equalization of assessment
rolls throughout the state.
Assessors must finally adopt
uniform methods for arriving at the
value of improvements, land and
personal property" Hartman said.
Likewise the state equalization
board should adopt the same meth
cd in order that we may have a
common understanding and think
along the same lines as to methods
Of determining value.
"This is an absolute necessity if
we are to have equalization
throughout the state"

YOUTH ADMITS
KILN c AGED
UNCLE, AUNT
Drove Bodies Off End of
Pier, Slayer Calmly
Aids In Recovery

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26. UP
White clipped and quivering, snub-
nosed Leroy Drake, 19-year-old col
lege boy, today stammered a con-
fession that he poisoned his elder
" uncle and aunt, then sank their
bodies into the sea in closed car
"T didn't want them to know l
had disgraced them" gasped the
youth, twisting nervous fingers.
He told police he had recently
been arrested on a grand theft auto
charge, and that he was afraid
Henry Steinhuer, 60, and his So
year-old wife, Nellie, with whom he
lived since he was three years old,
would learn of his disgrace"
brakes calm broke 10 hours af-
ter he had seen the bodies of his
benefactors hauled by divers to the
murky surface of Los Angeles har-
Dor.
Police had marvelled at the icy
detachment with which he directed
the search.
Informed by l.. B. Britain, radio
storekeeper for whom Steinhuer
worked that the couple had been
missing since last Friday, police
questioned Drake whom they found
alone in his relatives home.
After some hesitation he told an
amazing story that he had driven
the bodies of the couple off a pier
in a panic after they dropped dead
while drinking coffee after dinner
Thursday night.
At first avowing that his aunt
deliberately put the poison in the
coffee to kill her husband and then
herself, Drake said he hoped to
make their deaths apepar acciden-
tai because they were good church
people"
He readily showed officers where
the automobile and its dead lay
under 80 feet of water
Later under the cold eyes and
prodding questions OF police his re-
serve broke and the macabre story
of the death dinner came in rush
of words.

fishing ground, Mr.. Roosevelt will
head for the bay of Panama to fish
again off the Fearles Island and to
visit an island on which he said no

PRESSURE TIGHTENS ON ITALY
Attendance For
Schools Is Told

Slight decrease in the registra-
tion at the end of the first week in
Ele elementary schools of the county
is reported, the high schools show
ing a slight increase, according to
the figures reported to the county
superintendent of schools office.
All the schools of the county have
reported with the exception of
Highline and Westside Union, the
latter having been in session only
this week.
Total enrolment in the element
ary schools of the county, city and
rural, at the end of the first week
this year is 1892 as against 1884
last year, difference of AZ pupils.
Addition of the two above named
schools to the list is not apt to
change the figures greatly as
neither has exceptionally large reg
iStration.
For the high schools, including
the junior colleges, an increase of 90
students is shown at the end of the
first week this year, 2239 students
being registered this fall as COM
pared to 2149 last year.

VITAL STEP
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 26. The
League of Nations has taken what
may prove to be the gravest step
in its history.
The action of the powers in in
voking article Is of the covenant
implies that they are ready, If nee
essary, to proceed to article 16, ttNe
grave section which provides for a
collective international boycott and
military action. Dynamite is con-
tanned in paragraph 2 of the ar
ticle. 1t follows:
1T shall be the duty of the coun-
Gil to recommend to the several
governments concerned what ef-
fective military, naval or air force
the members of the league shall
severally contribute to the armed
forces to be used to protAct the
covenants of the league"
There was no equivocat1on in
today's proceedings of the council.
Capt. Anthony Eden of Great Brit
ain said as plainly as possible that
Britain will back the covenant to
IllC llIlllJs t IdllOC eilANl AbeAooAo oSOod
by his side.
1t was the general view that on
ly the milder economic penalties
would be invoked at first to see
how Italy reacts.
Meanwhile, the council Is not
closing the door to peaceful settle
ment by agreement. The concilia-
tion committee of five-Britain.
France, Spain, Turkey and Poland
will be revived, to stand by and
seize any opportunity that rises for
peace.
1t would be foolhardy to predict
war in Europe. Many things could
arise to prevent it. 1t is possible
only to marshal the known facts
and observe which way they point.
Britain, France and other powers
have committed themselves to the
world with the declaration that
they will carry out the terms OF
the covenant.
Mussolini repeatedly has pro-
claimed that nothing on earth can
stop him from attacking Ethiopia
and, as he told Ed L. Keen of the
United Press, he will go ahead
with the league, without the
league. or against the league"

BACK PAY DUE
To DOCK MEN

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26. UR)
Waterfront employers today an
nounced they would pay 10000
longshoremen a sum variously eSti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000
for overtime work last year, when
ever the workers present authenti-
Gated claims.
Charges that employers had ig-
nored a ruling of Judge M. c. Sloss,
federal arbitrator, holding the men
entitled to retroactive pay involved
in the change from an eight to a
six hour day, were made by long
shoremen representatives at closed
meeting of the joint labor relations
board Tuesday.
Herman Phleger, attorney for the
employers, said:
THE companies have neither ig-
nored Judge Sloss' decision nor re-
fused to pay. On the contrary, no
demand for the money has been
made on them"
Thomas G. Plant, president of
the waterfront employers, said to-
day, in announcing the overtime
would be paid, that employers will
insist on the registration of addi-
tional longshoremen so that "the
six hour day will be fact instead
of theory"

the curving concrete wall of Boulder
dam.
A lake 80 miles long, in places 310
feet deep, stretches toward the
Continental divide. For the first
time in uncounted centuries since
the river cut Black canyon, across
the walls of which stretches the
dam, its waters are subject to con-
troll.
Feb. l, when engineers turned
huge wheel and let a gate down
across the last diversion tunnel,
they started storage process which
when complete will see 30,000,000
acre feet of water held in a lake
lis miles long, 584 feet deep at the
Gam and covering 227 square miles.
Water for irrigation purposes now
is flowing through the outlet tun-
nels at the rate of 10,100 cubic feet
per second The inflow is 5540
cubic feet. Already the dam has
doubled the amount>of water avail
able during the dry season, and the
lake will diminish daily until the
flood season next spring.
The lowest flow is from now until
May, when melting SHOWS will begin
&c replenish the lake and continue
the storage which will take several
years to reach maximum. Then
enough water to cover the state of
Connecticut ten feet deep will be
stored.
Held safely behind concrete walls
727 feet high, 118 feet wide and $50
feet thick at bedrock, this water will
furnish power for the industries of
Southern California, and Nevada,
and water for potential population
of 100000 in the Los Angeles
metropolitan area.
In Arizona 100000 acres of land
will be reclaimed and Imperial VAL
ley of California made safe from
such floods as that which 20 years
ago created the Salton Sea. The
desperate fight of agriculturists,
who yearly fought to keep the tor
rent in control is over.
Eighty-nine men lost their li>Ss
in bringing the dam to completion
two and one-half years ahead of
schedule, no more than normal per-
centage of the thousands employed
in a hazardous occupation. At the
feak of construction, 5,218 men were
cared for in this model city, which
cost $2,000,000 to construct An av-
erage of 4,648 were employed in the
construction work, receiving 100000
monthly in wages from the Six
Companies, Inc, contractors.

ANCIENT. FEUD
ENDS IN FIGHT,
WOMAN DEAD

ELIZABETH, N. j., Sept. &c (U.P
An eight year feud between John
Crempa, militant farmer, and the
Public Service Electric Light and
Gas company, was climaxed late
today when deputy sheriffs shot and
killed Crempa's wife, wounded the
farmer and fired on his young
daughter who escaped unscathed.
For weeks the deputies have been
attempting to arrest Crempa on a
chancery court citation growing out
of his refusal to permit the public
utility to string power line across
his Terril road property.
Today Is deputies under Sheriff
C. Wesley Collins surrounded the
farmers house. One went to the
front door and ordered the family
to evacuate. Crempa refused and
the deputies hurled tear gas bombs
through the windows.
This brought Crempa, Belgian
world war veteran, and his wife and
daughter, all armed, to the front
perch. According to the sheriff they
opened fire. The deputies returned
the fire, killing Mrs. Crempa.
Crempa was wounded in the leg
and was taken to a hospital. The
daughter was detained temporarily
Another member of the family
John, Jr., 10, was arrested last night
on a contempt of court.
The Crempa family had been vir-
tually barricaded in their home for
three months. Last June, police
with court authorization, sought to
enforce a court order granting the
electric company permission to
construct the power line. The
Crempas resisted so forcefully the
officers withdrew.
Efforts to dislodge the family
were made periodically, with the
same result, until today. Crempa
was willing to grant the utility
domain over his land but not for
the $500 condemnation price fixed
by the court.

DEFEND HOMES,
ASKS LEADER Of
| |C|SM

CLEVELAND, Sept. 26 U.P) - A
powerful appeal to Catholic women
CT America to unite actively and
effectively in defense of God and
the Christian home was made today
by Archbishop John J. Glennon of
st. Louis.
In sermon to more than $4,000
persons, mostly women, gathered in
the huge lake front stadium for
the final days program of the
seventh national Eucharistic Con-
gress, Archbishop Glennon bitterly
assailed the practices of divorce and
birth control as among the great
est of modern tragedies
THE enemy is not satisfied with
its assault on the city of faith and
the House of God" he declared.
"The enemy goes further and en-
cages also to destroy the unity, the
stability of the Christian home.
That home, as you we'll know, is
based on the sancity and the indis-
solubility of the marriage bond.
Take from the marriage bond its
permanence, break with scriptures,
with established morals, with the
Christendom and the Christ; legal
lied divorce, release the husband
and wife to seek other mates-and
what becomes of the home?
"You have in it another father
tomorrow; another mother tomor-
row-and the home, a home no
longer, becomes a thing even more
precarious than a boarding house
and with much less morale"
