Effort Speeded to
Inform Voters of
Right to Ballot

Imperial Irrigation District Of
ficials, looking toward the Feb. 3
election, were worried Monday af-
ternoon over misunderstanding
which leads some qualified voters
to believe that they are not eligible
to cast a ballot in the district elec-
ton unless they are property own
erS.
One woman was heard to remark
in the county clerks office that
there was no need for her husband
to register in time to vote in the
district election because he was not
on record as property owner, their
property being in her name.
Because Thursday is the last day
in which to register for eligibility
in the district election, officials
speeded up efforts to inform the
misguided voters that property
qualification is not necessary. A
property qualification law under
which the last district election
was held was declared by the state
supreme court to be unconstitution-

WASHINGTON, Dec. %.

don, Norman Thomas and
Earl c. Browder arose from the
same dinner table, as thoroughly
roasted over the sarcastic fire of
the GridirOn club as the chicken
they ate.
For the first, and doubtless
the last time, the four presiden-
tial candidates had dinner to-
gether last night at the clubs
semi-arnual banquet and then
saw themselves lampOOned in
series of good -natured sketches
which lasted until after mid
night.
President Roosevelt and Gov.
LandOn spoke, but mo reporters
were present" in accordance with
long standing traditions of the
club, which is composed of lead
ing correspondents.
The GridirOn club allowed al
most no one of prominence to
escape it's soaring. Herbert Hoo
yer, for instance, walked onto
the stage of the Willard Hotels
banquot hall, i'm full evening
dress, but minus his trousers, to
join a group of mourning Re-
publicsns. Rexford G. Tugwell,
the brain truster who left Wash-
ingtOn to become mOlasSesi
manufacturer, appeared at the
Union League club in red UNDER
wear.
aren't you still a little red?"
queried J. P. Morgan, of the
membership committee. Tugwell
insisted he still was wearing his
old resettlement uniform i'm
which he had been sewn up for
the winter. He said he had de-
cided not to roll up his sleeves
and make America over, but
merely to roll America"
"YOur election is unanimous"
shouted Morgan. "W elcome,
brother, IDelcome."
The trOuserless Hoover found
his fellow Republicans in sad
plight. Most were clad in rags.
Republican Chairman John Ham
ilton wore a barrel.
"Are we all hcre?" asked Gov.
LandOn.
81 think so, Alf," replied Ham
iltOn sadly, but I'm still trying
for a recount"
Hoover told the other Repub-
licans he would wait until taey
were ready to make arrange
ments for the last solemn rites.
The club titled it's opus "The
Greater Ziegfeld" and dedicated
it, not to the late FlOrenz Zieg-
field, "but to the greatest show
man of them all, Franklin ID.

MURDER TALE
DESCRIBED TO
AUTHORITIES
Woman Involved
In Staying Tells
OF Boasts

Imperial county gran d
jury members were sched-
uled Tuesday afternoon to
investigate the killing of
Jo h n Tillery by Imperial
Traffic Officer Reed Cunningham
Sunday when Tillery attempted to
escape after arrest. A coroner's
jury found that Tillery died from
gunshot wounds inflicted by an
officer in line Of duty.
A new angle was precipitated in
to the case late Monday when
Mrs. Grace Whitten, 81, in whose
company Tillery was arrested in
an Imperial hotel Sunday, admit
ted after questioning that Tillery
told her he had murdered her hus-
band last August. She said Tillery
told her he had put her husband
in a hot place and that there
would be no more trouble from
him.
Chief of Police William Burton
of Imperial remembered that Whit
ten August 20, had signed COM
plant charging his wife, her sister
and her husband with disturbing
the peace. The three were jailed
and the trial set for August 81,
at Imperial justice court. Written
failed to appear in court as the
complaining witness and the
charges we're dismissed for lack
of evidence.
Burton said he had not seen
Whitten since August and quesv
tioning among those who knew
him revealed that he had not been
noticed by others who knew him.
Tillery was arrested by Burton
and Cunningham for contributing
to the delinquency of minor.
Officers entertained the theory
that. if, Mrs. Whitten's story is true,
it provides one reason for Tillery's
attempt to flee.
Tillery'S flight came after his
arrest when Cunningham reached
to open the door of the police auto
mobile. Tillery ran east on Ninth
street from Imperial avenue. Cum
ningham shouted for him to halt.
When he did not, Cunningham un-
holstered his revolver and gave
chase. AS Tillery disappeared into
the darkness the officer fired twice.
The shots hit Tillery and he gave
up after running a few steps fur
ther.
Mrs. Whitten's sworn statement
to Sheriff Bob Ware, District At
torney Elmer Heald and Criminal
Investigator Tom Sharp, revealed
that Bill Whitten filed complaint
against Mrs. Whitten, her sister,
Mabel johnson and Ether Johnson
for disturbing the peace on August
20
Mrs. Whitten, her sister and
brother-in-law Immediately went to
their home at the Tillery ranch,
four miles northeast of Imperial.
T1llery called Mrs. Whitten inside
and told her that he had killed her
husband and that she had better
go to her home in Arkansas, Off
GERS quoted her as saying.
The Johnson's, Mrs. Whitten and
her father, j. Nealey, hitchhiked
to Yuma the afternoon of August
q and then caught a freight for
Arkansas where they remained un-
til September 25, according to her
story.

The senate will constitute itself
a court of Impeachment, and noti-
fly the president formally of the
charges against him.
President Gomez will then be
given "a hours 20 prepare his de-
Tense and engage counsel. This
will delay the presentation of tes-
timony until noon Wednesday.
Under the procedure adopted by
the senate in an all-night session,
both the prosecution and defense
will present testimony. Then the
senate will go into secret session
TO reach a verdict. The decision
as to whether President Gomez
must quit or remain in office will
be based on simple majority
when the senate vote is taken.

LAW REVISION
CONSIDERED BY
SUPERVISORS
Supervisors Discuss
Ordinance at
Meeting

A revised county govern
ment law as recommended
by the Imperial county grand
jury, a contract for pur-
chase of gasoline by the
county and proposed ordinance
bonding crop sprayers were among
items of business considered Mon
day afternoon by the county board
of supervisors.
The grand jury submitted draft
of joint recommendation, entered
into by the supervisors, to State
Senator Edward H. Law, Assembly
man Clarence Walker and the state
legislature, for revisions in the
county government act affecting
this county. The proposed changes
are routine, made necessary by
legislation last year giving the sup
ervisors power to fix salaries for all
county officials except auditor, dis
trict attorney supervisors and jurors.
No changes were made in existing
salary setupS.
The supervisors accepted the bid
of the Standard Oil company to
furnish the county's gasoline for
three months at 13l2 cents gallon.
The district attorney was ordered
to draft proposed ordinance plac-
ing under bond all operators en-
gagged in spraying such agricultural
crops as melons against insect pests.
The bond is necessary, the super
visors feel, to prevent loss by dam
age to other crops or livestock from
poison spray.
