OPERATION OF WPA EXPLAINED AT
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING.
PLANS For Newest Federal Relief Agency Include
Many Projects Planned For Permanent Improve
ments In Imperial County

At the first of the regular We'd
nesday dinner meetings of the
summer, chamber of commerce
members and directors met last
night to hear Roy Johnstone, chief
of the works division of the local
SERA, speak in behalf of w. j.
Sterrett, county administrator, con-
corning the new Works Progress
Administration which is replacing
in part activities of the SERA.
Johnstone was introduced by
President Sem Bacon who eX-
planned that through the absence
of Director Sterrett, Johnstone
would describe the new set up.
The new Works Progress Admin
istration, according to Johnstone,
is the fourth governmental organ
ization to function in Imperial
county, the first of which was the
RFC. Under this first administra-
ton, the amount of funds spent on
direct relief in this county was
$313,O00, followed by the CWA,
which, between December, 1888,
and April, 1884, spent 100000 in
Imperial county. Until forming of
the SERA, he explained, all funds
expended were for direct relief.

latter administration, the total sum

DEATH CLAIMS MRS. W. S. FAWCETT
Pioneer Resident Of Ell Centre Dies On Visit To
Friends In Northwest

Many friends in Ell Centro and
other valley cities we're grieved to-
day to learn of the death in Seattle,
Washington, this morning, of Mrs.
Viola G.. Fawcett, wife of Will S.
Fawcett, pioneer residents of Ell
Centre.
Mrs. Fawcett, whose health had
not been of the best for several
months, had been visiting friends in
Seattle since the latter part of
June. Recent letters indicated no
marked change in her condition and
the news of her death came as a
distinct shock to Mr.. Fawcett who
was at their local residence, 510
Wensley.
Mrs. Fawcett came to the valley
with her husband and daughter in
1901, following prior visit by Mr..
Fawcett, on which he drove a buck
board team here from Riverside,
making a homestead entry on land
at Heber. Later they removed to
Ell Centre and for years have been
active in the social and civic life of
this community.
During the World war Mrs. Faw-
cett was active in patriotic work,
being a member of the executive

expended in this county since 1893
reaches over $2,000,00O
Of this total. $4,000 was spent
on public property projects; $53,-
900 in a campaign to eradicate
farm pests; $465,0O0 for the I'M
perial Irrigation District in clean
ing canals and other projects; $59,-
900 to supply the people of Imper-
ial Valley with water during the
shortage of last year, and $4,000
for water for stock.
Expenditures also included $31,-
900 for improvements to school
buildings in Imperial county; $780,
900 for county road improvements;
$4,000 for construction of wards,
nurses home, water system and
other improvements at the county
farm and hospital; $4,000 for con-
struction Of the new auditorium at
Holtville; $4,000 for improvements
to the county game refuge; and
$11 900 for improvements to the U.
S. Experimental Farm near Bard.
Under the new Works Progress
Administration, Johnstone stated,
requirements for those employed
on all labor will call for physical
and mental fitness for the work,
providing that no person under the
age of 16 shall be put on other
than direct relief. Since March,
1885, many persons have been tax
en- off SERA labor rolls and placed
on direct relief as projects to be
undertaken were too strenuous for
many relief clients.
Useful Projects Planned
Among the requirements of w. P.
A. are that local offices be estab-
lished for investigation purposes
and to insure execution of the
Works Progress program, and to
survey wages and working condi-
tionS.
Only those projects which are
useful to the community and which
will insure a maximum of employ
ment in the communities will be
undertaken. They must also be of
a nature which will promise con-
siderable returns to the federal
treasury and must also provide
that considerable percentage OF
money spent shall go for labor and
wages. All projects undertaken are
to be carried through promptly.
There will be several classes of
w. P. A. Projects, such as rural
electrification and rural reSettle-
ment, which will be financed by
the government and conducted by
the government; and those nom
federal projects which are conduct
ed by states, municipalities and
public bodies.

of more than $4,000 in govern

read. Re-sentencing was formality
following denial of Mrs. Madison's
appeal by the state supreme court.
If the sentence is carried out it
will be the first hanging in the new
Tehachapi prison, and it will be
necessary to erect a scaffold on
which to execute the woman.
Mrs. Madison's last resort to
escape the gallows will be an appeal
to Governor Frank F. Merriam for
pardon or Communication of the SEN
tence to life Imprisonment.
Her attorneys, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lloyd s. Nix, have already filed
application for commtiation on the
ground of Mrs. Madison'S recent
statement that she killed Madison
in self defense when he threatened
her with a butcher knife March
"a, 1884.
Ernest Whitehouse CortiS, execu-
tive secretary of the Mems League
of Mercy of the United States, an
organization for the prevention of
capital punishment for women, said
he had forwarded to the governor
an 8-inch butcher knife found in
the Madisons' apartment.
Police reported they found no
knives in the place, but Cortis said
it had been discovered yesterday in
a bedroom bureau drawer.

Ryan was nominated and the nom

Ryan was elected by acclamation
after the Pacific Coast delegation

This presumably was a gesture to

AGREES WITH
DUCE' 8 PLAN
Of EXPANSION
Sir Samuel Hoare, New English
Foreign Secretary, Makes A
Surprising Shift In Policy
INSISTS PEACE is DESIRED
Defends Great Britain's Recent
Proposals For Territorial
Changes In Abyssinia
INSISTS PEACE IS DESIRED

LONDON, July II. U.R)-Speak-
ing to a crowded house of COM
mons, Sir Samuel Hoare, British
foreign secretary, today supported
the justification Of some criticism
of the Abyssinian government" by
Italy and concurred in Benito
Mussolinis declaration of the need
for expansion by his nation.
The foreign secretary's declara-
ton, in his first momentous speech
to the commons since he assumed
office, was regarded as surprising
shift of Britain's foreign policy. 1t
came after earlier suggestions for
a three power conference on the
war crisis and after Britain-over
Abyssinian protests-put tempor-
ary ban on arms shipments to
Ethiopia.
Sir Samuel told the house move
for peace was definitely afoot, but
added that at the present time
I'VE cannot say more than that we
are working along these lines"
Hoare softened his declaration
only by the mild query of whether
"the need of italian expansion and
the complaints against Abyssinia
are sufficient cause for plunging
into war"
The foreign secretary denied
Great Britain had any ulterior mo-
tives in its African policy, and in
sisted that England was merely
seeking a peaceful settlement.
ut is not true that we are think
ing of our colonial interests or that
we are massing any troops" he
said.
Hoare defended the British pro-
posal-extended to Italy by Capt.
Anthony Eden-for certain territor-
ial changes in Abyssinia designed
to smooth out the crisis. He said
that, if the offer had reach a point
where it could have been submit
ted to parliament, nine out of 10
members would have been with the
government.
Offer Rejected
Italy, however, rejected the offer.
Eden's offer to Mussolini that
CT6dU bIlJdlIl give GOiiOpAd eAAO POap
of Zelia, to make that country in
dependent of the port of Djibuti,
and strip of British territory as a.
corridor for a railroad to the coast
created a storm when the diplomat
returned to England.
Members of the house of COM
mons demanded to know by what
authority Eden could dispose of the
empires territory. Seila is in Bri-
tish Somaliland only a short dis
tance south of Djibuti, which is in
French Somaliland.
Reflecting Great Britain's deep
involvement in European, African
and Asiatic affairs, Hoare brought
up the Japanese-Chinese situation
when he said:

A meeting between representa-

county emergency relief committee
and state relief officials which had
been proposed for tonight has been
indefinitely postponed, it was learn
ed this morning. Reason for the
postponement is the absence of A.

and the inability of Max Lewis,
state representative, to attend.
1t was stated, however, that this
meeting may be called as soon as
possible, probably next week.
The object of the proposed gath
ering was to discuss county relief
problems particularly as they re-
garded unemployables who are to
be placed in the care of individual
counties and not to be handled by
direct state or federal relief agen-
cieS.

COURT TRIAL
Weyerhaeuser Youngster Says
That He Never Saw Accused
Woman Before
RECOGNIZES FUGITIVE
Lad Asserts William Mahan,
Now Sought By Police, Was
Man Who Seized Him

TACOMA, WASH, July IL. (U.R-
Nine-year- George WeyerhaeuS-
er was unable to identify Mrs. Mar
garet Valley as one of his kidnapers
and told a federal court jury that
he had never seen her before in
dramatic moment in the kidnapping
trial today.
Did you ever see this lady be-
fore?" j. Charles Dennis, United
States attorney, asked the soft
spoken lad after he had slowly and
carefully led him through a series
of preliminary questions.
A hush fell over the court room
and heads craned forward to catch
the boys answer.
NO"
The word was spoken firmly af-
ter the lad had cast a glance at
Mrs. Valley and then turned his
gaze back to Dennis.
Mrs. Valley did not look at little
George when the question was put.
Her head was lowered, her eyes
looking at the floor.
Previously the boy identified
Harmon Metz Valley, who is serv-
ing 45 years in prison, and William
Mahan who is still a fugitive, as
his captors.
WAS anyone else in the house?"
Dennis asked the boy.
Not that I know Of" he replied.
His failure to connect Mrs. Valley
with his imprisonment followed.
George spoke slowly. softly. He
bore the appearance of any aver
age 9-year-old boy and was dressed
5 in a polo shirt, corduroy shorts,
brown shoes and ankle socks.
Mrs. valley appeared more ner-
vouS than the boy. She did not
look at him when he took the stand
and continued to avoid his gaze as
he answered Dennis questions.
He identified a picture of Mahan,
the fugitive who escaped from po-
lice in Butte. Mont.
"Yes," the lad said, II saw him
in front of Annie Wright seminary.
He is the man who put me in the
car%
George was kidnapped from in
front of Annie Wright seminary at
noon, May "a.
Georges identification of Valley
also was from photograph. Valley
was not in the court room but was
held in a cage" in the marshals
office. He will not go into court,
attorneys said, until his wife is
called to testify.
That's Harmon" George said
when shown Valleys picture.
The boy could not identify Valley
as an occupant of the machine
which carried him away from An
ME Wright seminary, but identified
him definitely as one of his guards
during his eight days of imprison-
ment.
