LOS ANGELES. — (AP) — A
blood-stained butcher knife, found
in a widelv disordered house, after
police received a telephone call
that a woman had been siain at
the address, caused the start Sat
urday of. a search for Mrs, Edith
Smith Jaynes ‘and her close
friend, Mrs. Ocie Hessclbartl,
who lived with her.
District Attorney Burton Fitts
said Mrs. Hesselbarth., and Mrs.
Jaynes, former wife of a Los An
geles policeman, furnished the
prosecutor’'s office with informa
tion that a gang of robbers hail
recently moved into the city.
“We believe that either one or
both of these women have been
killed because they talked,” Fitts
said. ;
Police quoted a woman as cry
ing hysterically over the telephone
late Friday night:
“Four men have murdered a wo
man out here and taken her for a
ride in the desert. They did it be
cause she squealed about a bank
robbery at Ventura.” =
The unidentified informant add
ed that the woman had “put up a
fight for her life,” had woundeld
one of the attackers with a butch
er knife and had held up a photo
graph of her infunt child in a plea
that her life be spared. ;
Police found substantiating evi
dence of the story at the house.
{(l'he butcher knife was on a kitch
en shelf and on the floor was the
grumpled picture of a baby.
Mrs, Jaynes’ 8-months old baby
has been cared for for some time
by friends at San Bernardino.
Hoover Is Pictured
As Great Executive
By G.O.P. Chairman
WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Pres

day as ‘“one of our greatest chief
executives” who was “beaten only
by forces of fate beyond human
control.”
Chairman Sanders, of the Re
publican national committee, is
sued a statement saying the final
‘election nigures would show “that
no defeated candidate in history
ever received as great a popular
tribute as did Herbert Hoover
'last Tuesday.”
“No successful Democrat, prior
tc this year,” Sanders added, “ever
received in victory a popular vote
even approaching that given the
President in defeat.”
Sanders’ statement was issued
as returns developed a striking
similarity between the popular
vote by which Hoover was de
feated in 1932 and the total by
which he was elected in 1928.
With about & percent of the nae
tion’s polling precincts still miss

Hitch-Hiking Confederate Veteran Gets

§ ATLANTA —(AP)— A wander

Prehibition Arguments Continue With
Bcth Sides Claiming Victory; Hoover
Would Sign Beer Bill, It Is Rumored
SMALL TAX ON BEER
WOULD BRING HUGE
REVENUE TO U. S.
WASHINGTON—(#)— Organiza
tions on both sides of the prohibi
tion argument came forward Sat
urday with new statements apro
poa Of the election result. |
The Methodist Board of Tem
perarce restated its view that the‘
election of Franklin D, Roosevelt
“is in ‘no sense a wet victory.) |
This was coupled with an asser
tion that the churches would re-i
new the fight against liquor, and
that congressmen voting wet would
be held responsibie and their ca
reers could be “adjudged’ by the
consequences” of their votes. ‘
The day also brought the first
contention that President Hoover
would sign a bill legalizing beer.
This occurred in statement by the
Federal Dispensary-Tax Reduvction
League, an organization seeking
prohibition change. It said:
“We are informed by three of
ficials very close to . President
Hoover that he will sign the beer
bhill if it comes before him.” ~
The statement has had no con
firmation as yet in any other
quarter.
Rufus S. Lusk, national legisla
tive officer of The Crusaders, a
repeal organization, issued a state
ment saying:
“One cent a glass tax on beer
will atsrt an immediate golden
flow of revenue into the United
States Treasury at the rate of
over $600,000 a day or well over
$200,000,000 a year. Tax it two
cents a glass, and the reyenue wil
be almost half a billion annually.”
Another prohibition development
was the statement by Senator
Walsh (D.,, Mont.), to newspaper
men that he would support the
party's platform on repeal of the{
18th amendment and modification
of the Volstead act. |
’ Walsh expressed the opinion
|that legalization of beér within
constitutional limits could be ef
fected at the short session and
said he would be for it.
He added, however, that he had
not fixed in his mind the limit of
iulcoholic percentage that could he
lallowed in beer under the consti
["tution although he remarked, '
believe it can he increased.”
“Morally Bound”
Asked if he thought dry Demo
crats from the south would vote
'to carry out the party's platform
|,on prohibition repeal, the Montan
.an said that “Democrats who ran
on the platform are morally Lound
to carry it out if elected.”

Saturday by Senator Swanson of

throughout the campaign.
“Since the ‘South is a third of)

Governor Albert C.. Ritchie of
Maryland are two southerners,
Swanson said, who are being dis
cussed with Rdosdvelt fdd cabi
