TEXAS EXECUTES HAMILTON FOR
SLAYING OF PRISON OFFICIAL

HUNTSVILLE, Texas, May 10.
UP)-Raymond Hamilton at % pub
lie enemy No. /, died in the cleo
trio chair today, his nerve gone and
a sob yelling in his throat.
Hamilton. whose first crime was
the theft of toy wagon, paid with
his lift for that of Major Crow
son, prison guard.
Crowson was killed January 16,
1884, when Hamilton, Joe Palmer
and three others escaped from
Eastman prison farm in a spectac-
ular delivery engineered by the late
Clyde Barrow.
Hamilton followed Palmer, SEN
fenced for the same offense to the
electric chair. His voice broken and
mis- once grinning face a pasty
white, he was strapped in at 1919
a. m.
He turned to Father Hugh Fin
negan, prison priest, and said
IT wish you a pleasant trip, Fa-

He referred to the priests pro-
jected vacation trip to Ireland.
Then he gave way to convulsive
sobs, which the current stilled. He

WASHINGTON, May 10. U.P)-
Sen. George w. Norris (Rep.) Ne
braska, today succeeded in breaking
the one-man filibuster conducted
by Sen. Warren r. Austin against
his motion to take up a bill to en-
large the powers of the IVA.
The bill was made the pending
business of the state when the vice
President informed Austin that a
motion to take up the bill was not
debatable, if made in the senate s
morning hour.
The earlier motion to take up the
bill had been made at time when
it was debatable.
Norris irritation at the Vermont
senator s monologue grew rapidly

Chamber Urges
More Publicity

If everyone in Ell Centro would
use on their letter paper and enve-
lopes some publicity or reference
to Ell Centro and Imperial Valley, it
would be an effective source of ad-
vertising, according to Robert
Hays, of the chamber of commerce.
This remark was prompted by a
sample of the letter paper used by
the Valley Steam Laundry Com
pany, upon which Manager Ches-
ter Kilgore has inscribed at the
bottom of each page a line I'm
perial Valley . Under the Boul-
der Dam and All-American Canal"
Thousands of letters leave El
Centro every day." said Hays, "and
if every business letter and every
envelope carried some such publicity,
perhaps line "On the Broadway
of America" or about Imperial
Valleys early cantaloupes and
winter Iceberg head lettuce, the
cumulative advertising benefits
would be tremendous. The cham
ber's own letter paper carries the
legend, "On the Broadway of AM
erica" and letters coming from
the chamber of commerce will
hereafter carry map of the
Broadway of America, placed
thereon by rubber stamp, the Of
