sci revolved chiefly about the
meaning of the word incumbent"
1t being the contention OF counsel
for Miss Barry and McIver that
only actual possession of the Of
ficeS and records constituted a
person an incumbent while Harry
Horton, counsel for Hatch and
Bratton challenged this interpre-
tation, holding that only person
who held certificate of election
and had otherwise qualified for the
position could be legally considered
the incumbent of the office.
After Judge Warmer had listen
ed to these arguments for some
time he stated he was not so sure
about the meaning of the word as
he had been earlier in the day and
for that reason determined to take
the matter under further con-
sideration.

PARIS, March 26 W.D- French
distrust of British German arma-
ment negotiations emerged clearly
today and gave warning that what
ever happened in Berlin could be
but a first halting step toward
general European armament.
Fear was frankly expressed that
Germany might win Britain from
Frances side on basis that would
wreck Frances agreements with
her own allies but fail to provide
any security systems in their
place.
1t was suggested that Adolf Hit
Ter might offer Great Britain q
western European aerial defense
treaty which would calm all British
fears and thus lead to a break in
the newly cemented British French
entente.
The air league is Britain's prin-
cipal hope in all the negotiations
to consolidate peace in Europe.
France is more concerned with
guaranteeing general security,
which means her own, to end the
constant threat from Germany,
nation of 65,o0o,000 people who in
a war would be opposed to her own
40,000,000.
General opinion was that Ger
many might offer Britain conces-
sions which would mean great
British diplomatic victory at home.
strengthening the British govern
ment's position in general elec-
ton which may come any time be-
tween now and October of next
year.
It was suggested also that Ger
many might play on what was
called the inherent fear and dis
trust felt by mnay British people
for communist Russia.

Legislative investigation of re-
ports that Nathan j. Elliott, Los
Angeles truck lobbyist, said he
controlled" the Southern Cali
fornia delegation and could swing
vote for $4,000, was ordered in
both houses today.
SACRAMENTO, March 26. U.p)-
A sweeping investigation into a
statement attributed to Nathan j.
E. Elliott, Los Angeles truck lob
byist, that he controlled the
Southern California delegation in
the legislature was ordered today
by the assembly.
The inquiry was asked in a reSo-
luton introduced by Assemblymen
c. Don Field, Glendale, Harry B.
Riley, Long Beach, and C. G. Cott-
rell, San Jose, and Immediately
drew charges that many lobbyists
were little more than "racketeers. -
The resolution, calling for ap-
Apointment of committee of three,
was passed by vote of 73 to 5.
In pointing out the need of an
inquiry, the resolution said:
Nathan j. Elliott is reported to
have stated: "I hold in my hands
the entire Southern California dele
cation and can say whether bill
is to be passed or defeated and it
will take 1000 to do it.
"This resolution vitally affects
every member of this house, Field
said. "It is this type of lobbyist
that puts the stamp of disapproval
on this house,
Assemblyman Earnest o. Voight,
Los Angeles, joined in the TRADE
against lobbyists.
1.-The real subversive influences
are not the Communists, but these
leeches-these lobbyists. I would
like to show them up for what they
really are" he said.
A more extensive inquiry was
proposed by Assemblyman Jesse
Mayo, Angeles Camp, who said
there were "too many cinch bill
artists living in splendor" as a re-
suit of the development OF the lob
bying racket.
Wants Matter Settled
While there was some opposition
to the resolution on the ground the
assembly had more important bus
mess to consider, it was the general
opinion that this case should be in
vestigated and made an example -
to other lobbyists, many of whom
reportedly have made statements
throughout the state concerning
their ability to control votes.
"It seems to be a question of
whether votes have been or have
not been bought - said Assembly,
man Geoffry Morgan, Santa Mon
ica, "and it should be settled at
once.'
Elliott's asserted statements were
called to the attention of the leg

ed before a senate committee In op-

railroad commission.
