LEGISLATURE
SWINGS INTO
FINAL WEEKS
Night And Weekend Meetings
Will Be Held To Finish Urgent
Business By June l
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
SACRAMENTO, May IA. - The
legislature swung into it's tradition
al closing weeks stride today with
house leaders pushing for speed on
non-controversial measures and a
general buSinesslike attitude re-
placing the procrastination habits
of the past.
The long period of daytime ses-
sions ended yesterday when Speak
er Edward Craig announced gener-
al night meetings for the remainder
of this week and probably through
out the rest of the session in an ef-
fort to conclude activities May rs
or by June l at the latest.
Members of the assembly ways
and means committee hoped to be-
gin final deliberations on the state
budget bill Wednesday night, and
contemplated weekend meetings to
assure action on the assembly floor
next week.
The joint revenue and taxation
committee of IA may conclude its
work today or tomorrow, recon-
mending tax plans which would
raise enough new revenue to bal
ance the budget and handle the
state IS share of unemployment re-
lief. Until sufficient revenue is
available, the budget cannot be ap-
proved. Most of the important
work of the legislature, therefore,
is awaiting the committee sug-
gestions.
| Four Bills Favored
| Revenue questions featured the
ways and means committee dis
cussionS last night and four import
ant bills were sent out with faV-
orable recommendations.
One would authorize a 100000
900 bond issue to finance the San
Francisco and Los Angeles exposi-
tions planned to celebrate compile
tions of the bay bridges and Boul-
der dam. The money would be re-
funded from gate receipts.
Another would appropriate the
$4,000 for the purpose of findlng
positions for deaf persons.
Unclaimed meter deposits held by
public utility companies would be
claimed by the state under terms OF
third measure. It was estimated
the treasury would be enriched by
81 100000 if this bill is passed.
Money conscripted from the gas
oline tax fund for state purposes
other than highway building would
be returned as soon as funds were
available under provisions of bill
by Assemblyman Rodney l.. Turner.
Changes in election laws were
advocated in bills approved by the
assembly elections committee. AS
semblyman Ellis E. Patterson. King
City, proposed a non-partisan legis-
lature and Senator Ed Fletcher,
San Diego, appeared before the
group to win support of his meas
ure requiring that candidates be
registered with a party six months
before officially entering political
contests.

JACKSON, Calf, May ID UP)-
Tension which gripped the Mother
Lode gold mining district as a re-
suit of the week -end clash between
sheriffs forces and a group of as
serted radicals had abated and

charges to be laid before Governor
Frank F. Merriam as an aftermath
of the disturbance, in which some
200 Invaders" from the San Fran
cisco bay district were repulsed by
sheriffs deputies and armed citi-
ZenS.
Marsh said his report would
charge Amador county officials
were unable or unwilling to pre-
serve law and order" His action
followed claims by Arthur Warren,
organizer for the American Fedora
ton of Labor, that he had been
escorted from the district and
threatened with bodily injury If he
returned.

Five Days Have Elapsed Since
Evidence Was Presented To

Germs Second Degree Murder
Conviction Verdict

SAN JOSE, Calf, May a. U.P)-
The endurance contest between
Judge r. r. Syer and the David
Lamson jury continued today as the
jury told him for the third time 1t
was deadlocked hopelessly, only to
be sent back for further delibera-
ton.
Judge Syer S persistence brought
heated protest from Defense At
torney Edwin v. Mckenzie.
Mckenzie virtually demanded the
jury be discharged at oncer-a step
most observers feel would mean
Lamson's freedom from charges he
murdered his wife.
Informed by the jury it believed
there was no possibility Of chang
ing its 8 to 3 lineup, Judge Syer
announced he would poll the mem
J bers sometime this afternoon. He
intimated the jury might be dis
charged at that time if still unable
to agree.
AS Judge Syer told the jurors to
eat lunch and talk over the case
a while longer. Mckenzie sprang
I. angrily to his feet.
"Any verdict now agreed upon
would not be a true VERDICT he
argued. "'This jury has been out
% hours, which I believe is a
world IS record. We contend that
any verdict now would be a forced
one.''
"That is a matter discretionary
within the court, Judge Syer re-
torted.
Miss Mary Richter, foreman Of
the jury, told the judge the body
still was deadlocked at to 3, same
as yesterday. Her statement con-
tradicted previous reports the count
had swung to 10 to Q.
She gave no indication whether
the vote was for or against con-
viction.

Haggard and silent after their 86
hours of confinement since they
were given the David Lamson case
last Friday, jury Of seven men
and five women returned to its de-
liberations at 945 a m. today.
Fully one-third of the So hours
have been spent in argument over
verdict, with the latest report fix
ing the stand as 10 to 2 on an
agreement in the wife-murder
charges.
AS the Jury revired last night, one
member was overheard exclaiming,
~ can't see why you two are

Whether the two were persisting
!. for acquittal or conviction was un-
determinable, inasmuch as the jury
has succeeded in masking its work.
ings most effectively since Satur-
day.
The only definite indication of its
stand was the statement made in
court yesterday that the count was
- to g. How the votes were cast
was not disclosed.
y Men of the weary jury were
somber- faced and took no notice of
spectators. The women were some
what more sprightly, some of them
waving to friends in the crowd.
However else the jury stood, it
was believed definite a hanging
conviction, such as Lamson was
given in his first trial, had been
discarded as a possibility. The ar
gument now was believed over
second-degree murder conviction.
