VOICES
PROTEST UPON
POWER SURVEY.
Continued from Page one)

the valley will remain staunch and
loyal to the district. and will not
be induced to sign any document
that will contribute support to the
power company in its fight against
the very people from whom they
are seeking support.
THAT the administration would
make a loan to subsidize a corpor-
alton seems ridiculous in the light
of recent statements by the presi-
dent of the corporation, A. B. West.
that 25 per cent of the entire pow
er load in Imperial valley is the
company's private load. The state
ment seems to indicate that the
company, after 20. years in 1mper-
ial valley, has fallen far short OF
its duty.
Furthermore, the application OF
the power company for rural
identification loan places the COM
pany in a unique position-the po-
sition of a corporation aligned
with other interests known to OPP
pose openly the administrations
rural electrification program, yet
itself seeking benefit from that pro-
gram. 1t is like man shaking
hands with another man with one
hand-and hitting him in the jaw
with the other.
"As representative of the peo-
pie of the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict, through its board of direc-
tors, I again ask the people of the
valley not to be misled into as
sisting the power company in its
warfare against the Imperial Irri-
CATION district, warfare directly
against the taxpayers and electric
ity consumers of the valley. Every
signature on the power company's
petition is a signature against the
districts program"
Text of the protest to be circu-
lated by district officials through
out the valley will be found else
where in this issue.

a desire to save her from suffer-
ing" police said, attacked his Is
year-old wife, Pearl with ham
mer and razor today. then cut his
own throat with fatal results. Sur
geons feared the girl-Wife would
die.
Her face was mutilated by razor
slashes and her skull probably
fractured by the blows of a car
penter's hammer.
Police, summoned by neighbors
who heard terrified screams, broke
into the house to find her lying
unconscious in a pool of blood and
her husband dead beside her. In
his hand the man still clutched a
blood-spattered razor.
A note, found on a table, read:
"I want to take Pearl with me
1 want to save her from suffering
all her life and I want to take her
along"
Why he despaired of living, po-
lice did not know.
Thorstenson, who was employed
by the Santa Monica Telephone
company, married his girl-bride

HOPE TO GET
FINAL WORD
FROM HOOVER
CONTINUED from Page one)

sion of 1888 when group OF
staunch Hoover men in congress
passed word to Palo Alto that the
party must look elsewhere in 1896.
Simon Fess, of Ohio. then a SEN
ator and formerly chairman of the
Republican national committee, eX-
planned that Hoover's ambition was
to help pick the man to beat
Roosevelt in 1886 and that he
wanted to say large and final
word on the Republican platform.
That may still be the limit of
Hoover's ambition. His tactics in
recent months might be directed
either at obtaining a nominal party
leadership pointing toward active
participation in the platform max
ing the strategy of the 1896 pres
idential year.
In any event, Hoover was long
silent until last February. Then he
startled the country with tele-
gram to the United Press demand
ing that the administration resume
the gold standard.
Since then the former President
has been heard from frequently.

PENSION BILLS
VETOED TODAY
BY PRESIDENT

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 3. U.R)
Rapidly clearing away the work
he inherited from congress, Pres
ident Roosevelt today vetoed six
more measures designed to increase
pension provisions Of Civil war vet
Grams and their dependents.
Mr.. Roosevelt acted on the bills
shortly before setting out for the
farm of Moses Smith near w lit
tie village where he was scheduled
to address a rally Of his Democratic
neighbors and friends. In this con-
nection he was pinch hitting for
Mrs. Roosevelt who prevailed on
him to take her place when she
was called to Winetka, ILL.,, TO at
tend the funeral of Mrs. Harold
L. Ickes, wife of the secretary Of
interior.
AS is his custom, the President,
in killing the six bills, set forth his
reasons instead of letting them die
by the pocket veto route.
One bill would have granted pen
Sions to certain individuals who
served in irregular state Organiza-
tions but who never we're muster
ed into federal service. Another
would have granted $40 monthly
pensions TO 184 helpless children of
Civil war veterans. Still another
would have given an increase of
from $40 to $50 monthly to 5l6
widows who are said to be disabled
A fourth measure increased pen
sions from $50 to $40 a morth to 33
disabled but remarked widows Of
Civil war veterans and an increase
for others. Number five N~oWded
pensions for 80 widows who had no
title to pension under the law. The
sixth called for pensions to 463
widows who also had no claim un-
der existing general legislation.

MIAMI, Sept. 3.-High seas and
hurricane winds today beat back
three rescue vessels attempting to
rescue 352 persons from the Nor
gan liner, Dixie, fast aground on
Carysfort reef off the Florida coast.
Closest to the Dixie, which went
aground during a hurricane last
night, was the tanker Reaper. The
Reaper was riding out the storGl
about a mile abeam of the strand
ed liner, but dared not attempt a
rescue lest it share the fate of the
Dixie.
Two other vessels, the United
Fruit liners Limon and Platano,
were reported very close" The
steamer Watertown was ploughing
toward the scene through heavy
seas but it was believed at least 20
miles away. The coast guard cut
ter Carabassett out of Port Ever
glades and the cutter Saukie out
of Key West, were pushing toward
the Dixie's location at top speed.
The Reaper appeared to be the
one vessel in position to effect a
rescue by lifeboats, but the seas
we're still too rough for such an
attempt.
