Shortly after Schoenburg was
sentenced by Superior Judge R. d.
McPherrin to San Quentin prison
for a term of from 10 years to life
for second degree murder, Under
sheriff Rodney Clarke revealed that
the man who was shot to death in
Ell Centre early on the morning of
July % was a CIO agent for whose
death Harry Bridges, Pat Callahan
and other nationally known CIO
leaders demanded vengeance.
Meyers union affiliations, un-
known until he was killed, were not
made public because authorities did
not wish to risk prejudicing jury
against the dead man, officials
explained. At the same time tele-
grams and letters from CIO labor
leaders were regarded by the Off
GERS as an attempt to create publi-
city depicting Imperial Valley as
a place of violence against all labor
union agents.
Night of Blaze
Schoenburg denied knowledge
that Meyers was a CIO organizer,
and county officers declared their
investigation failed to show any
such knowledge on Schoenburg's
part. Both Schoenburg and Meyers
were employed at the Freedman
Packing Shed in Ell Centro, near
where Meyers was shot on the
same night fire of mysterious
origin destroyed the shed.
Schoenburg's plea of guilty to
murder, fixed by the court at Sec
ond degree, saved Imperial county
thousands of dollars that would
have been spent had the case gone
to trial. 1t came as complete sur
prise in a crowded courtroom where
spectators expected Edgar B. Her.
vey, Schoenburg,s attorney, to plead
him not guilty. Before the surprise
had subsidized, Schoenburg was cali
ed to the witness stand, questioned
briefly, and sentenced to prison.
District Attorney Elmer w. Heald
then recommended the minimum
term, and at Ecrvey's request Judge
McPherrin joined in the recon-
mendation.
schoenburg was not questioned
about the murder
Died Next Day
Meyers body was found early
in the morning of July % by Po-
lice Officer Jack Tackett, en- route
to the Freedman Packing shed
which was in flames a block and
half away. Meyers died next day
indicating that Schoenburg shot
him, but without giving conclusive
testimony. The gun with which
fatal shots were fired was never
found.
Witnesses were located who had
seen Schoenburg and Meyers to-
gether earlier in the evening, both
drunk.
AT a coroner's inquest Schoen-
burg denied he killed Meyers. de-
scribing the other man as my

President went directly to the
White House where he is expected
to lay the lines for a battle for
control of his party-a battle by
which he hopes to eliminate con-
servative leaders who he says op-
pose the broad objectives of his
New Deal.
Behind the presidential special,
Mr.. Roosevelt left unmistakable
indications of his preferences in
the Georgia and South Carolina
primaries. At Barnesville, Ga, he
delivered smashing blow at con-
servative Sen. Walter F. George
D., Ga, and asked for the nomina-
ton of Lawrence Camp, U. S. dis
trict attorney at Atlanta and a
staunch supporter of his adminis-
tration.

AT Greenville, S. c., he made
obvious his support of Gov. Olin
d. Johnston, young South Carolina
governor who seeks the senatorial
nomination on the claim he is a
100 per cent Roosevelt respected
inference, Mr.. Roosevelt repected
Conservative Sen. Ellison D. Got
ton Ed Smith, D., S. c., and prom
ised to return to South Carolina
later, apparently to make his views

The speed demon has always ex-
listed In one form or another. Greek
mythology in the story Of how Phae-
thon drove his fathers chariot offers
perhaps the earliest example ofwhat
can happen when people drive
vehicle so fast that it gets beyond
their ability to control 1t. 1t will be
remembered that Phaethon wished
to prove that Apollo, the God Of the
Sun, was his father, and for his
proof. sought to persuade his father
to let him drive the chariot. Apollo
finally consented with reluctance,
and after many warnings and in
structions, the boy set out. Then
Phaethon lost control Of the fiery
horses and set the world on fire.
Jupiter had to toss thunderbolt at
Phaethon to stop him.
This myth is strangely modern.
People are warned today about the
dangers of speed. But many drivers
try to set the world on fire by their
speed, just as Phaethon did.
When the horse and buggy clut-
tered up the streets, the speed

demon was in evidence. Usually
the horse made up for any deficiency
in the judgment of the driver. Then,
when the bicycle rage was at its
height, there were many who gave
good imitation of how a human
being tried to overcome the force Of
wind resistance. In the early days of
the automobile, loud complaints
were made about the dangers of a
speed of five or ten miles an hour.
The public today may be inclined
to poke fun at the earlier examples
of the speed demon, but perhaps the
present age will be laughed at in
some distant day because Of the way
many rush about in cars.
Last year the rate of death per
accident which involved exceeding
the speed limit was 35 per cent
worse than the average death rate
for all accidents due to improper
driving practices. A word to the wise
is sufficient. 1t has been said that II
everybody would drive about 20 per
cent slower lot of the national
oversupply of automobile accidents
would be reduced.

The Asparagus Beetle
And Control Method

The asparagus beetle is a hand
some little creature, about one
quarter inch long, blue-black in coll
or, with red thorax, and a dark blue
wing cover marked with lemon yell
low and reddish borders. The mark
ings of the wing covers are quite
variable, the light color sometimes
forming submarginal spots.
Both adults and larvae feed upon
the tender asparagus shoots in the
spring and later attack the fruit
ing plants. Damage caused by their
attacks render the shoots unfit for
market.
The beetles hibernate over win
ter under whatever rubbish or shell
ter may be available near the aspar-
agus patch. About the time that
the asparagus cutting for market
commences they appear and lay the
eggs for the first brood.
The eggs are deposited upon the
stems or foliage, usually two to
seven in a row. The eggs hatch from
three to eight days. The larvae at
once commences to attack the ten
der shoots, and becomes full grown
