fragrant violation of the law
prohibiting shipment of arms to
Bolivia was charged today against
American munitions makers by
Joseph C. Green, State Depart.
ment official, in testimony before
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee.
While the law prohibited ship
ment both to Bolivia and Para
quay, at war with each other
until recently in the Gran Chaco,
Mr.. Green mentioned only ship
mentS to Bolivia, adding:
There are arms manufac-
turers who have flagrantly viO-
lated the ban on shipments to
Bolivia, and probably are now
violating it. Cases have been
turned over to the Attorney
General. 1t is hoped that
there may be some prosecu-
tiOnS."
Mr.. Green urged passage OF a
bill requiring munitions makers
to report all foreign arms ship
ments to the State Department
and to be licensed.
Asked what effect the bill
would have on the prospective
war between Italy and Ethiopia,
he said that it would give the
State Department machinery to
enforce any policy that may be
decided upon.
He said State Department in
formation indicated that ship
ments of arms to Italy and to
Ethiopia are negligible or non
existent.

SHERIFF FAILS

HIRES HANCMAN
'FIunkS' Final Examination,
Gets His Teacher to

NJ MICA fFfeF
NEW MADRID. Mo. Aug. 30
Sheriff Sam Harris Of New Madrid
County failed TO pass his final ex-
aminations as a hangman today.
and A substitute sprung the trap
that sent Roy Hamilton and Eddie
Gaymond to their deaths here to-
DAY.
For weeks Sheriff Harris has been
taking lessons in the art of hanging
from the nations most famous
executioner. Phil Hanna of Epworth,
III.
But as the time drew near for the
execution. Sheriff Harris turned the
distasteful task over to his teacher
and 1t was Hanna who adjusted the
moose and gave the signals to a
deputy to pull the lever.
AS if by re-arrangement. the
two doomed men marched to the
gallOWs in the tree-studded back
yard of the sneriffS home in the
same manner and muttered the
Identical words of good by. boys.
Hamilton was the first to pay
with his life for the Staying of
Arthur Cashion during an attempt
ed robbery of Mr.. Cashion's filling
station on Christmas eve in 1898
Sheriff Harris stood at the bot
tom Of the steps leading to the gal
lows platform. He shook hands with
Hamilton and then stepped back,
gulping once as he said. "Good-by,
Roy
Hanna led the way to the plat
form, Offering Hamilton a cigaret.
and then a deputy sheriff adjusted
a strap around Hamilton's arms
and legs. A moose, tied into an cas-
lily slipped loop. was suspended gro
tesquely from a heavy wooden rail-
road tie directly over the platform.
Hanna adjusted it, and in the
clear sunlight of a cloudleSs day
he signaled a deputy. not identi-
fed, TO spring the trap. There was
a creaking of loose jointed wood
straining under a heavy weight as
the body jerked to a sudden stop
five feet below the platform level.
Thirteen minutes later, Hamilton
was pronounced dead.
Equally calm. Gaymond went
through the same procedure -
almost move for move-and was
pronounced dead II minutes later.

ages looked much alike: there was
red, white, or green tissue paper,
ribbons in the same colors, with
possible gold or silver cord, and
there choice ended. The giver had
little opportunity to express any
originality or artistic talent in
those days, but the story is very
different today.
Cellophanes Add Color
Not only are there beautifully
designed papers in every color
combination, but there are the
shiny cellophanes. the COLDS, the
silvers, which supply the material
upon which the giver may exer-
else talent and ingenuity. Every
color harmony under the sun may
be achieved and packages may
be gay, light, informal, or they
may be as formal as gold and sill
yer and stiff brocaded ribbon will
make them. or as modern as Gel
lophane and aluminium.
This year a vogue for silver and
blue seems to replace the CHEEKY
crimson and green of the past.
All sorts of blue papers, from
transparent cellophane to pattern
ed sheets, blue and silver ribbons,
silver stars, seals are being used.
White and blue tissue paper COM
bined. the white over the blue, and
tied with blue ribbons is particu-
larly effective.
Metallic Papers Good
For extreme formality and also
characteristic of modernity, are the
metallic papers, gold and silver,
with ribbons of stiff brocade.
For the lover of the old-fashion-
ed Christmas, there is nothing
more pleasing than red and white,
green and white and similar COM
binations which may be given
touch of modernity by being OF
cellophane instead of tissue.
Sprays of holly, silver or gold
leaves, a bit of desert holly, gay
hued flowers, pine leaves, do much
toward making a package gay,
Infinite possibilities await the wo-
man with bit of originally and
her Christmas packages will be
greeted with the admiration OF
their recipients.

On thoroughly exhausted horses
the deputy and his two trailers

Koran Immediately wired the San
Diego sheriff of his discoveries and
was instructed to return TO the
bodies and to give them such burial
as conditions would permit. After
a short rest the party again set
out on their .gruesome journey.
They now were accompanied by
pack horses carrying a supply of
water and also two containers fill
ed with kerosene.
Striking directly across the des-
ert from Ogilby the party made
their way to the body of the first
discovered victim Billy states that
for obvious reasons he delegated
the unpleasant duty of cremating
and burying the body TO his In
dian assistants.
Who the unfortunate victims
were, whence they came and their
probable object in attempting the
hazardous desert crossing, with
such poor equipment, are secrets
which are still buried deep in the
shifting, wind blown sand of the
desert hills

BY II. ]. WORTHINGTON

Modern highways, efficient and
speedy cars and radio communica-
ton as aids in the work of the
present day sheriff's forces serve
10 recall to the mind of some of our
old time peace officers the diff
culties Of their duties in those early
days when the west was in the
making.
w. c. Koran of Winterhaven,
better known to all old timers as
Billy Horn, may upon occasion be
prevailed upon to tell of some of
his early experiences as the sole
representative of law and order in
the river district when it was a
portion Of San Diego county.
During the late '80s, Billy, as
every one knows him, served as
deputy under an old time San
Diego sheriff. What is now known
as Imperial Valley was but a desert
wilderness and the only real need
for law enforcement in this section
was along the Colorado river and
in the mining camps of the ex-
IRENE eastern end of the county.
At the time of our story, Billy,
was making his headquarters near
Ogilby, then an important ship
ping point on the main line Of the
Southern Pacific railroad. Early one
hot summer morning, according to
Billy's narrative, Hall Hanlon, a
pioneer rancher and ferry operator
with headquarters on the river
near Pilot Knob, reported to Koran
that team Of horses had wander
ed TO his ranch in an exhausted
condition.
He stated that the horses were
carrying the remnants of a set of
light harness and that they had
apparently come from the direc-
ton Of the sand hills north of the
Hanlon ranch. Hanlon, fearing a
desert tragedy, had telegraphed the
sheriff in San Diego of the Cir
cumstances and had, in turn, been
instructed by the sheriff to COM
municate with Deputy Koran at
Ogilby.
Deputy Koran prepared to make
an immediate investigation and so
advised Hanlon but due to some
local trouble he was prevented from
leaving Ogilby that day. A delay
Of one day was not important, rea-
soned the deputy, as his knowledge
of the desert convinced him that
the unfortunate driver of the team
had unquestionably persisted before
the horses had arrived at the river
He knew that no human could
withstand the whitening summer
heat of the sand hills for more
than a few hours if left afoot anc
without water.
Sheriff Orders Action
However, when Koran failed tC
arrive at Hanlon's ranch as he
! had promised, Hanlon again Wirec

/ threatening him with dire conse-
quences unless he Immediately
dropped all other affairs and go

though he was $50 miles from hi

OLD TIME DEPUTY TELLSOF
FATAL SAND HILLS JOURNEY

I picked up the back trail left by
the horses near the Hanlon ranch.
The trail was easily followed across
the desert as the horses had SEEM
ingly made a direct line from the
point where they had been freed
to the nearest water which was at
the river.
After travelling on the back track
all day the party of searchers was
overtaken about dark by a typical
desert sand storm of hurricane pro-
portions. Weathering the storm
during the night as best they could
the party again set out at day break
on their futile task Tracking was
now most difficult but they con-
tinued on in the general direction
of the day before and eventually
came up with the first evidence
of the deserts vengeance.
Body of Woman Found
1t was late afternoon when the
party topped a slight incline. There
Immediately before them lay the
body of a woman. All evidence
indicated that the unfortunate vic
tim of the deserts sun and heat
had persisted while attempting to
follow the tracks of the horses
which she perhaps realized were
instinctively headed towards the
nearest water.
As time was pressing, the search
ers left the body Of the woman as
they found it and pushed on to-
wards the north. Soon they could
see, lying in the trail ahead, the
spraWQed body Of man.
Expecting to find the wagon OF
buggy used by the unfortunate
party at any moment the search
ers were startled, after travelling
not more than one mile further
by the discovery of the body Of
yet another member of the ill fateo
group. This body was also that oil
a man and like the other two bodies
was of more than usual Stature.
/ Broken Down Blackboard Found
/ Here again nothing about the
body gave any indication as to whC
any of the victims might be anC
! Immediately the delayed search fol
the vehicle was again taken up. A:
| night came on the searchers were
rewarded by finding the remains o.
an abandoned and a more or les
dilapidated blackboard, such as wai
in common use throughout the
west in those days.
The last discovered victim, whit
was no doubt the first one TO sue.
cumb. had travelled a distance o
less than one mile after Leaving
the rig. Nothing about the vehicle
shed any further light upon tht
identity of the lost trio. Very few
personal effects were found abou
the blackboard but an empty tel
gallon water keg and two empty
canteens gave mute evidence o
the tragic predicament with which
the three wanderers had founC
themselves faced. A large tin TO
bacco box filled with cheap, car
nival type jewelry was the onll
thing of even nominal value founC
about the rig.
Rescuers i'm Tight Spot
The rescuers now found them
selves in a more or less Difficult
situation Their scant water sup
ply was almost exhausted and thei
saddle horses were in bad shap
as they had gone, "a hours with
out water or food. The only al
tentative was a forced night rid
