WEATHER DELAYS
WORKS PROJECTS
Underpass, Post Office,
Highway and Armory
Work Suspended

Various public works projects I'M
der direction or sponsored by the
WPA or State were at a standstil
here today when the first general
rain in weeks fell in this section.
Work that was held up was the
100000 underpass job which will
connect Church and Charles streets
the enlargement program at the post
office, the new National Guard Ar
mony and the Townsville highway
Excavations are well advanced at
both the underpass and the post Of
flee, all of this being outdoor work,
and which could not be carried on
in a downpour of rain. The Towns
vile road, of course, is also outside
work and this could not be pressed.
Except for the armory, neither of
the projects can be said to be hardly
more than half completed. 1t is es-
timated that late spring or early sum-
mer will see the underpass and the
post office job completed and both
structures in use. The highway job
may be finished before that time. and
the amory could be made ready for
use around the first of the year If
weather conditions and work condi-
tons were favorable.
It is feared, however. that contrac-
tors will encounter much more wealth
er like that which interfered today.
and that the winter season will see
the progress now being made slowed
down considerably.

from that body would be sought.
The two daily trains, Nos. POI and
2O8, now operating between Hender-
son and Oxford as mixed trains,
would cease to handle passenger traf-
fic entirely if the petition is granted.
The railroad accompanied its re-
quest by statement showing that for
the two years 1884 and 1885 on thro-
ugh to July, 1886, the total revenues
derived from the two trains for
handling of passengers was $222.O8.
The railroad claims that by discon-
tinuing the service a saving of $780,

time for the crews and the extra a.
mount for fuel necessitated by
handling the coach.

a part of the curriculum in Cali
fornia schools was made by Phil
lips at meeting here of the
State School Trustees association.
The legislator, Republican NOM
inee for state senator from River
side county, explained that he
could see no reason why Commu-
nism should not be taught "as
we'll as Socialism, Marxism and
FaScism."
Assemblyman Phillips declared
it was his belief that the best
defense against Communism was
to explain its principles and allow
students to see its weakness.
If his plan is adopted, the only
precaution he advocated was to
guard against "over-teaching' the
subject.
The assemblyman then added
that he saw no reason why an
oath to support the American
flag should be considered "a COM
plete antidote against the insidious
movement of Communism in our
schools"
Phillips pointed out that he
personally was strong foe of
Communism but declared he first
made a study of MARKHAM teach
ings before coming out against
Communism.

Companion Admits
Theft But Driuer
Clings to Denial

A full confession on the part of
his Negro companion failed to
shake a white truck driver from
his assertion that they had not
stolen 30 rolls of used parbed wire
found in their truck on Adams
street Tuesday night.
j. A. Lyons, 33, Negro laborer,
told the same story as his COM
panon L. c. Brown, 81, for sew
eral hours after their arrest by Ell
Centre police. He finally decided
to confess the theft.
The two men were found in a
truck near the Ell Centre Lumber
and Trading company Tuesday
night. The arresting officer, Floyd
Ackley, declared they had no lights
on the truck and that their truck
contained barbed wire similar to
that on the inside of the lumber
company fence. The men in the
truck said they had stopped to re-
pair their truck lights but Ackley
found them working perfectly.
Lyons confessed that they took
the wire from a ranch two and
one half miles east Of Heber and
offered to lead the officers to the
scene of the theft.
Officers said Browns name ap-
peared on the police records in
connection with a drunk driving
charge and that their records show
ed he had been involved in in
vestigations of theft of pipe.
The men were turned over to the
county for further investigation.
