Roosevelt Prefers
Planes To Dirigibles

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. WH -
President Roosevelt has no thought
of asking congress for funds to re-
place the giant navy dirigible Ma
con that crashed in the Pacific
Ocean last night, he said today.
If money to replace the Macon
was available, the President point
ed out, he would prefer seeing it put
to use in construction of about so
long range scouting planes, instead,
he said.
The Presidents position, it was
pointed out, did not necessarily
mean that development of lighter
than-air craft in this country was
ended nor a departure from past
policy regarding the use of giant
dirigibles.

ROSE HORTON
HAVE TORR|D
VERBAL TILT

Mark Rose, irrigation district di-
rector and Harry w. Horton, chief
counsel for the district, engaged in
a verbal battle at the board meet
ing this morning. This battle which
waxed hotter as 1t progressed was
finally brought to an end by order
of Evan T. HeweS, chairman of the
board who recommended that the
two combattants adjourn elsewhere
if they desired to continue the mat
ter.
The subject of the argument was
a resolution introduced by Rose
which asked that the board demand
of Horton that he produce proof OF
statements he had made in recent
newspaper advertising during the
election campaign.
1t was the opinion of Directors
Hewes and Young that the board
room was no place for the discus
sion of such a matter and that it
was more question for the grand
jury or the courts to handle.
The motion to introduce the res
olution before the board was sec
onded by Director Aten but it was
finally determined to table it un-
til the next meeting when a full
board would be present as Director
Kalin was absent.
On February 26 the board will
hold a special meeting at which
time the bond for newly elected
officers will be determined. These
are: Charles Morrow, director Braw-
ley division, Ira Aten, director I'M
perial division, E. N. d. Hatch,
treasurer and Charles A. Bratton,
assesSor-collector.

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Feb. 13.-A
jury of four women and eight men
began their deliberation today up
on the guilt or innocence of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, accused of
numbering Charles A. Lindbergh,
Jr.
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard. in
a strong charge to the jury, advised
them they could return one of three
yerdicts. They are:
l. Guilty as charged in the in
dictment.
2. Guilty with recommendation
for life Imprisonment.
3. Acquittal.
The justice concluded his charge
at HIS a. m, but the jury did not
at once retire. Trenchard asked
them to remain in the jury box un-
til their room was prepared, with its
exhibits.
They left the court room at 11:2c,
while the spectators remained in
their seats, and counsel for both
sides went into a conference at the
judges bench.
In the course of his charge, JUS
tice Trenchard ruled:
1. That if Hauptmann entered
the Lindbergh nursery by opening
the window, it was burglary, and
that the resultant death of the child
was first degree murder.
2. That it was possible to recon-
mend life imprisonment, if Haupt-
mann is found guilty, but that the
recommendation "must be part of
the verdict. .
3. That If there is any reasonable
doubt on any important point i'm
plicating Hauptmann in the crime.
the verdict must be acquittal.
! Mention Condor Testimony
The justice cautioned the jury to
pay particular attention to the test
imony of DR.. John F.. Condor re-
garding the ransom negotiations,
and pointed out that his evidence
was corroborated by "several other
persons whose credibility has not
been questioned
! He also called attention to the
/ testimony of AmanduS Hockmuth
| to the effect that he saw Haupt-
mann on March 1st near the Lind
bergh home with ladder in his car,
and asked. lis it not possible he
could have remembered the incident
| because the child was kidnapped that
night?'
! He mentioned the fact that sew
eral of the defense witnesses had
been convicted of crime, ard said
that fact should be given consider
alton in determining their credible
| ity
Regarding Hauptmann' own
| testimony he said the jury should
disregard the fact that he was an
interested party in the case, but
that it should also consider his
credibility from the standpoint of
his own criminal record in Ger
many.
Defense counsel objected strenu-
ously to certain portions of Justice
Trenchard IS charge, particularly
involving proof that the child was
taken down the ladder from the
nursery.
Frederick A. Pope, associate at
torney for Hauptmann, argued at
length, in a conference at the bench,
on the question of proof of death.
He was overruled OH a motion TO
bring the jury in again and revise
his charge.

It was stated at union headquar-

ers is more complete today than it
was yesterday afternoon, when, at 8
o'clock the Word was given and the
strike started
Not only is El Centre affected by
the strike but sheds all over the
valley were shorthanded today fol-
lowing the walkout yesterday. In
some places, today, shippers were
attempting to move the mounting
boxes of lettuce brought in from the
fields by skeleton crews. In other
! instances, it was reported, non-un-
ion crews were to be employed in
order to keep the sheds operating.
There were no reports of any out
breaks of violence in the county last
night or this morning. Sheriff Ware
while ready for any emergency
stated this morning that no instan-
ces of trouble between strikers and
other workers or shippers were
brought to his attention.
Help Asked
At local police headquarters many
calls were received from shed own
ers this morning asking for the pre-
sence of police as they feared out
breaks of violence. These calls
were answered but up to press time
only minor disturbances had been
reported.
A visit through the section of Ell
Centro where the packing sheds are
located which was made shortly af-
ter noon revealed no instances Of
disorder as having happened or
about to happen. There was a min
imum of activity at the sheds, while
near the entrances were groups OF
strikers acting as pickets in the in
terests of the strike.
1t was further reported at union
headquarters that six valley ship
pers have signed the agreement with
the union and that other shippers
were considering taking similar
action. Those signing this agree
ment were: M. E. Yourman, Calex-
leo; j. P. Carter, Calexico; Salinas
Valley Packing company, Ell Centre;
Gold Link, Holtville, the Prince
company, Heber, and the George
Mann company, also of Heber.
Strike Fund Started
Following the signing of agree

ers were ordered TO return to the
sheds and resume the work left off
yesterday afternoon. 1t was further
stated that a strike fund is being
set up with donations to be receiv-
ed from those who have resumed
work in these sheds.
In this agreement it is expressly
stated that there shall be no piece
work packing or trimming of lettuce
nor shall there be any split bench

tuce or carrots. This was one of
the main contentious brought up by
the union in its pre-Strike meeting
and on which the shippers had so
long failed to agree.
1t is further stipulated that time
and one-half shall be paid on Sun
days and eight stipulated holidays

over the radio about the case.
It's in the jurors hands now and
not ours, SO all our getting messed
up in anger and arguments won't
do any good.
I wonder if the jurors minds
were made up early like all the
rest of ours were. I have had a
hunch somehow that 1t would be
a hung jury. If it is or if it's
some other celebrated case I
wonder if they couldn't just
sneak off in a back room some
where with a judge, a jury and
a few witnesses and then do it
like the supreme court handles
theirs. Don't let us know any

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WHERE TOBACCO MONEY FLOWS

Robson county may not be flowing with milk
and honey, but it certainly has been flowing with
tobacco money.
Cash to the amount of S10,319000 had been
paid farmers by the tobacco companies up to last
Saturday night for the seasons leaf crop sold on
the Lumberton and Fairmont markets alone.
That is shower of cash that would be regarded
as bonzana to Charlotte or any other city of its
size or even much larger-being paid to producers
of farm products within few weeks period.
And yet the combined population of Lumberton
and Fairmont is barely than 1000, and that
takes in populous adjacent suburbs.
The population of the entire county of Robson
is only a little above $4,000. Money paid growers
for tobacco at Lumberton and Fairmont alone was
$156 for each man, woman and child, white and
colored, in the county, the average, or 1924 a
family, counting four persons to the household.
If all the money paid for the leaf in Fairmont
those municipalities it would mean about $500
for each inhabitant, of every age and color.
Up to Saturday night almost 50,000O0O pounds
had been sold on the two markets-whch are only
il miles apart-at an average above 20 cents a
pound
And with more than ten million dollars already
pocketed for tobacco, Robson still has the bulk
of it's big cotton crop to be marketed-and it is
one of the principal cotton producing counties in
the state.
If Robson is not enjoying prosperity, it must
be because it does not produce enough of food arG
feed crops.-Charlotte Observer

THE DODGINC DICTATOR

Italian propaganda seeks to convince the
world that Dictator Mussolini has the un-
divided support of the Italian people, This
propaganda is inspired in official sources
and is. spread by the Italian press, which
is allowed to print nothing except matter
approved by the government and propa-
ganda manufactured to the order of the
dictator. Consequently, the world knows
bat little of true conditions in Italy; and
the inhabitants of that country know prac-
tieally nothing of conditions throughout
their own country and even less of the at
titude of the outside world to Italy and
Mussolni's war of aggression in Ethiopia.
: The effort to make the world believe
that Italians to man are backing Musso-
lIni are not corroborated by the facts. If
that were true there would certainly be no
CITIZENS OF the country who would seek to
deprive Italy of the services of the dictator.
Yet, it is anrestablished fact that Mussolini

HENDERSONVILLE INVITES YOUR
PATRONAGE

The Times-News uniteS with the mer-
chants and other business men of Hender-
sonville in extending a cordial and hearty
invitation to the people of Henderson and
adjoining counties to bring their Fall anu
Winter business to this place. We do this
as the Merchants Division of the Chamber
of Commerce launches its big campaign
for trade expansion and bigger and better
bnsiness. This is announced in this news
paper today.
This campaign for business is the most
promising and enthusiastic movement o.
the kind ever started here. 1t is backed by
a large majority of local merchants and
business men, who are participating and
expect to do everything possible to make
it a success. As far as the public IS con-
cerned, this campaign introduces Won
derful opportunity to the people of Hen
Jacksonville and this towns trade territory.
Our business men are providing this oppor-
tunity in the form of enlarged facilities for
bnying and selling, in the most systematic
as we'll as the most extensive drive for busl-
ness that has been made in many years.
To sum up the whole matter IN few
words, Hendersonville merchants and busl'
ness men are in position to give better ser
vice and to offer more extensive and better
values in merchandise, in view of this con-
certed drive for trade. The family living
ten, twenty, or forty miles, distant from
this place will find a trading trip to Hen
Jacksonville not only an enjoyable and III
teresting experience, but a profitable op-
portunity to transact business or purchase
merchandise.
aHendersonville has large number OF
experienced merchants in all lines and
there is no question about their ability or
facilities for serving the trade of this terri
terry. There is no reason connected with
the range or quality of merchandise, Oh
with prices, which can justify the people
within radius of forty or fifty miles oil
this place in trading elsewhere. They viii
