Much Interest
In PaIo Verde
Festival Plans

Interest in Ell Centro's palo verde
trees and the annual palo verde
festival is becoming statewide. In
last Sundays Los Angeles Times,
on the front page of the South
land Homes and Gardens" section,
there was an article by Mrs. Iva
M. McFadden of Westmorland, a
staff writer for The Times, con-
cerning Ell Centro's palo verde
paintings.
The article was illustrated with a
large picture of palo verde trees on
Wensley avenue. "Since that time, .
reports Mrs. j. S. Jones, chairman
of the chamber of commerce tree
planting committee, "15 inquiries
have been received by me from
various parts of Southern Califor-
mia, asking how palo verde trees
or seed may be obtained. These
letters come particularly from the
beauty spots of Southern Califor-
mia and from cities famed for their
loveliness, such as Santa Barbara,
OdIl Iti ildl IiiiO, 1Oo 1hAiGNANos OoAi
Diego, Cotton. Pasadena and Riv-
erside. Apparently said Mrs.
Jones, "other cities are impressed
with what FL Centre is doing in
the way Of street planting and in
the value of palo verde trees, and
appreciate it's beauty and adapta-
bility for avenue planting"
Preparations for Ell Centro's Sec
ond annual palo verde festival are
steadily progressing. At present,
the tentative date set is April 81,
but as the season is somewhat
backward, it may be that 1t will be
decided by the committee to make
the date one week later.
Many persons have been grow
ing flowers for the flower show
connected with the event, and it is
understood that school students
will be important participants.

HAMILTON To
PAY PENALTY
FOR GRIMES
Public Enemy No. |" Taken
Without Shot Being Fired And
Will Be Executed

HUNTSVILLE, Texas, April 6.
U.P)-RaymOnd Hamilton, the
s0uthwest's most dangerous out
law, was dressed in at the Hunts
vile prison at 1:50 p. m. today.
Hamilton was chained to the
automobile when IL arrived at
the gates of the 80-year-old pris-
on farm which he escaped from
the death cell last July 22.
DALLAS. Tex, April g. lU.P)-Pub-
lie enemy No. L, Raymond Hamil-
ton, will be electrocuted al the con-
venience of Texas officials. it was
indicated today. The captured bad
man, heavily guarded in Dallas es-
cape-proof Jail, sneered at the chair
and officers alike, asserting that
his life was by no means ended.
Murderer and bank robber, Ham
ilton had succeeded to the infamous
mantle of John Dillinger, Charles
pretty Boy) Floyd and George
(Baby Face) Nelson by process OF
machine gun elimination. II
had boasted he never would be TAX
en- alive. But he surrendered with
out firing a shot when surrounded
by officers in the Fort Worth rail-
road yards last night.
Hamilton never will be tried for
the host of robberies and shootings
charged against him since his es-
cape from the Huntsville peniten-
tiary deathhouse, July %. He al
ready is under death sentence for
the murder of a prison guard. 1t
may be necessary to resentence him
He will be taken to Huntsville and
executed at the convenience OF
the warden.
Hamilton, in a spectacular GRIM
inal career that began in childhood,
has escaped so many jails that Of
ficials took no chances. He was
under the eyes of guards at all
hours. His confident bearing, his
inclination to sneer and boast, in
dicated his hopes that he might
manage to escape again before the
lethal current at Huntsville strikes
him.
Denies Killing
"They can burn me- he said,
"but Is the truth I never killed
anyone in my life.'
Hamilton was armed with two
pistols when caught but he had no
chance to use them.
Officials believed the exact toll OF
Hamilton IS depredations since his
escape never would be known. Nu-
merouss bank robberies in Texas,
Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi
bore the imprint of his technique.
In the Huntsville deathhouse,
Hamilton will rejoin Joe Palmer
who escaped with him last July.
Their companions in the break were
killed by officers. Palmer was re-
captured in Kentucky. Major Crow
son, a guard, was killed in the es-
cape and it was for that crime that
they will be executed.

the jury and appreciate that you
saw your duty and had the cour-
age to perform it,' he said.
"The man who conspires with
eyes open to protect the lawless ele-
ment, gangster and gunmen and
the spew of humanity, must be
punished.
Then Judge Lindley sentenced
williams. manager of Vallejo
hospital, to an 18-month peniten-
tiary term and fine of $4,000;

KANG TEH IS
GIVEN HONORS
BY JAPANESE
Mikado Greets Emperor OF
Manchukuo On Official Visit
To Capital OF Japan
BY RAY G. MARSHALL
United Press Staff Correspondent


TOKYO, April 6.--Many a jap
anese peeked from behind the
drawn shades of buildings along
a guarded route from the Tokyo
railroad station to the Akasaka
palace today to see the triumphal
procession escorting Emperor Kang
Teh, ruler of Manchukuo and guest
of the japanese empire on his first
official visit to the isles of Nippon.
Unlike Lady Godiva, who rode a
single horse, the bespectacled youth
who sits on the worlds newest
throne rode in a red carriage drawn
by eight white horses.
Japanese cavalry, their sabres
clanking against their spurs and
glinting in the sunlight formed his
escort. In the procession were the
automobiles of the official recep-
ton committee, headed by Baron
Gonsuke Hayashi, privy council
Or and one time ambassador to the
court of st. James.
AS the. procession moved away
from the station in one direction, a
swanky shining automobile took
Emperor Hirohito, youthful ruler
of Japan's millions, to his own pal
ace in another.
The young rulers, one heading
one of the worlds oldest empires
and the other it's youngest, met for
the first time in the drab surround
ings of the Central railroad station
today.
Exchange Greetings
They were introduced to each
other formally by Prince Chichibu,
Hirohito's brother and Kang Teh's
guest on a recent visit to the new
domain in northern China.
The emperors, each in formal
court dress and wearing horn-rim-
med spectacles, clasped hands
warmly and exchanged pleasant
tries before parting.
They will meet again when Hiro-
hito, shattering precedent, goes to
the Akasaka palace to pin on the
thin chest of his frail guest the
order of the chrysanthemum, ia
pans highest honors. In return the
former Henry Pu-Yi, last ruler of
China and first of Manchukuo, will
go to the japanese Imperial Palace
to invest Hirohito In the order of
the orchid.
The same high honors always
given members of the Japanese i'm
perial family were paid today to
the youth who was born in the
royal quarters of Chinese emper-
ors.

Unlted fTeSS Stdff NOTTcSpOuucne
|. SACRAMENTO, April 6. - The
fifth week of the California legis-
lature's spring session saw the
state IS lawmakers settling down to
the gigantic task of handling $500
bills before adjournment late in
May.
Accomplishments of the past
week, although slight in comparison
with what was expected, eclipseo
developments of the first month
and gave indication of the heated
activities which will occupy day and
night sessions later on.
Both houses gave final action to
two important measures-a 10 cents
pound tax on foreign oils used
in the manufacture of oleomargar-
inc and other butter substitutes
and a bill limiting freight trains to
maximum length of 10 cars. Both
these bills have gone to the gov
ernor for signature.
The assembly and senate each
disposed of three other controver-
sial measures, and the upper house
in addition handled four bills in
which there was wide interest.
Outstanding developments in the
lower house included:
/. Approval of a building and
loan association reorganization bill
by a vote of "a to IL after several
days of debating.
2. Passage of a bill restricting the
advertising of dentists. The vote
was 73 to 8.
3. Adoption of a 30-hour week
bill which will be reconsidered next
week.

Highjackers Escape
Pursuing Police

LOS ANGELES, April 6. tUP) =
An exciting police chase which ri
vailed a movie thriller before the
fugitiv es escaped was followed
today by the arrest of two men as
suspected hijackers.
Joe de Candido, "a, and William
L. Wheeler, 26, we're arrested sew
eral hours after sheriff's deputies
abandoned a chase after three
men who were surprised while
guarding a $4,000 stolen liquor
cache. Defying bullets, the men
dashed away In an automobile.
Deputies finally were defeated when
the suspected hijackers passed
railroad crossing only a few feet
ahead of freight train.
Officers returned and arrested
Dale Cooley, owner Of a garage
where the liquor was stored. Cooley
denied knowledge of the cache.
