THROWS DOWN
PRESIDENT ON
SECOND VOTE
Refuses To Include Death
Sentence" By Passing Modified
WheeIer-Rayburn Bill
INVESTIGATION ORDERED
Lobbying For And Against The
Disputed Legislation To Be
Subject Of Probe

WASHINGTON, July UP)-The
house passed a modified Wheeler
Rayburn utilities bill today and fol-
lowed quickly with an order for i'm
mediate investigation of lobbying
both for and against President
Roosevelts death sentence" de-
mand.
The lobbying inquiry was ordere&
by regulation after Rep. Ralph
Brewster, (Rep), Maine, climaxed
a series of charges by members with
the assertion that Thomas Cor
coran, RFC counsel and brain
truster, tried to force him to vote
for the death sentence"
The house without a dissenting
vote ordered the rules committee
to make immediate inquiry into the
Corcoran charge and into charges
by other members concerning lob
bying by both the administration
and power interests on the bills.
Chairman John O'Connor of the
rules committee informed the house
ne considered the Corcoran matter
serious" He said the committee
would move for a prompt inquiry
without consideration for those
involved regardless of whom they
represent"
Brewster stated flatly that Cor
coran threatened to halt conStruc-
ton of the huge PaSsamaquoddy
project in Maine if he voted against
the death sentence"
Rep. John Hoeppel (Dem.) Cali
fornia, charged he had been adj
yised that California relief expend-
itures would be more generous If
he voted for the death sentence.
Defends Corcoran
Rep. Edward c. Moran (Dem)
Maine. came to Corcoran's defense.
saying Corcoran had denied the
story of the alleged threat as des-
cribed by Brewster.
Moran claimed that it appeared
from CorcoranS version of the af-
fairs that there had been no threat
involved. Moran said he had
| talked to Corcoran since Brewster
made his charges.
"Corcoran told me-" Morgan said,
"tnat what ne said TO Representa-
tive Brewster was that if Brewster
felt he could not continue the util-
ity death sentence, he could not be
trusted with the PaSsamoquoddy
legal matter"
Brewster it was explained, has
been a member of a power policy
committee which has aided in the
setting up of the Passamoquoddy
project.
Moran's statement was meant to
indicate that CorcorAl claimed not
that Passamoquoddy would be halt
ed but that Brewster would be like
ly to lose his post on the policy
committee.

HEALD BACK
FROM COAST
CONFERENCE

Robberies, burglaries and petty
thieving have dropped about IS per
cent in California since the inau-
guration of the present general re-
lief program, was the opinion eX-
pressed at the recent state corHen-
ton of district attorneys held last
week in Santa Monica. This opin-
ion was upheld by the delegates
present according to Elmer Heald,
local district attorney who has just
returned from the convention.
The relief program has attempt
ed to give employment and also
food and other necessities to many
out of work at present and fer tlis
reason has served to Keep many
transients off the highways and
away from cities as proWlers and in
so doing is responsible for the de-
crease in petty criminal activities.
Many interesting talks on crime
and allied subjects were given the
convention delegates, Heald said.
Mae West, viii Rogers and Wallace
Beery were speakers at the conven-
ton banquet.

ANNUAL AUDIT
' PRESEN To
BOARD TODAY
Total OF $36,989.S1 Cut Off
Two Items OF Expense From
Previous Year
FINANCIAL COST EXPLAINED
Net Increase Of $lO,642.55 Is
Accounted For By Interest On
Bonds And Laguna Contract

Substantial decreases in the ex-
ecutive and operating costs of the
Imperial Irrigation District for the
calendar year ending December 81
1884, over the preceding year are
noted in an audit completed last
week by Hutchinson and Company,
certified public accountants, and
presented 20 the board of directors
at their meeting today
Evan T. Hewes, chairman of the
board, stated that this audit was
one of the best ever made of the
districts financial condition.
The audit shows a decrease in
executive cost of $15,60709 and of
,$21 .382.72 in operating costs, a total
of $36,989.81 for last year as against
the totals for the previous year. On
the other hand, however, an in
crease in financial cost is shown
by the audit which is represented
chiefly by the accrued interest on
bonds registered subsequent TO
December 81, 1888 and the increase
in interest on the deferred balance
on the Laguna Dam contract.
I'm this connection, with partic-
ular reference to this increase
which amounts to SAT, 1926, or a
net increase of $10642.55, such
should not strictly speaking be
charged against us for the past
calendar year." Hewes said, be
cause such increase was in field
over which we had no immediate
control"
Corroborating HeWeS' statement
the audit speaks in the following
language: 1T should be noted that
the actual operating expenses OF
The district were reduced during
the period under review in the
amount of $36,93981, the net in
crease in expenses being entirely
attributable to the increased inter-
est cost due to the inability of the
district to meet its maturing obli-
cations before delinquency. The
revenue realized from assessments
and penalties of the 1933-34 levy in
the amount of $536, 1927, repre-
sents 64.40 per cent of the total as
sessments and penalties of the 1883
"a levy, indicating delinquency in
the total roll of $3.50 per cent"
Collections Better
The treasureriS balance on Dec
ember 81, 1884. amounting to $780,
892.75, represents the aggregate of
the funds that were actually on
deposit in the districts depositor-
les on that date. Gross receipts to
all funds for the year totaled ST.
