Pantages Found
Guilty of Attack
Long Term Asked
Jury Recommends That the Maximum
Sentence Be Given Theatre Man
3-Day Deliberation.
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 27. Alex
ander Pantages, wealthy theater
owner, was convicted of assault on
Eunice Pringle, 17-year-old dancer,
by a superior court jury tonight af
ter three days of deliberation.
The jury recommended that Pan
tages begiven the maximum penalty,
which calls for imprisonment in aSn
Quentin prison for not more than 50
years.
The jury, in making its recom
mendation, urged that after a year
of the sence is served, the state pris
on board can extend clemency if it so
desires. The jury was composed of
seven women and five men.
Judge Fricke set Friday, November
1, as the day for formal pronounce
ment fo sentence. Joseph Ford, de
fense counsel, said at that time he
would Dresent a motion for a new
trial. Pantages was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff, and taken into
the prisoner's room for formal book
ing and cell assignment in the county
jail, where he will be required to
remain.
Will Continue Fight.
The multi-millionaire vaudeville
magnate sat with his head resting on
his hand at the counsel table while
the verdict was read. He noticeably
paled, but walked to the prisoner s
room with a little assistance from
Jerry Geisler, one of his attorneys.
Geisler said the case would be ap
pealed if a new trial is denied.
"I'm going to fight it out," Pan
tages said.
With the exception of Mrs. Lois
Pantages, wife of the convicted man,
who was convicted of manslaughter
recently and is awaiting hearing on a
petition for probation, all of the Pan
tages family were present. Carmen
Pantages, daughter of the wealthy
man, remained in the prisoner's room
where she could hear the proceedings.
but could not be seen.
Mrs. Dixie Martin, adopted daugh
ter of Pantages, jumped from her seat
in the courtroom at the pronounce
ment of the verdict, and ran into
the prisoner's room with her hands
over her face. There she and Carmen
began weeping hysterically.
Jury Dismissed.

Death Sentence
for Tariff Bill
Read in Senate
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, In -
sists It Can Never Be
Made a Law
Washington A pronouncement of
ultimate death was read over the
tariff bill in the senate Monday by
one of its -sponsors. Senator Reed,
Pennsylvania, and the post mortems
that Quickly ensued found leaders
of all factions passing the blame
around.
The assertion, a repetition of a
statement by Senator Reed in a
speech in Philadelphia over the week
end, led to a free-for-all political
discussion which saw republican
regulars and independents quarrel
ing over the attitude of President
Hoover; democrats and republicans
demanding that the president state
Vi i f nMritinn V a liill on1 nil fi
nallv agreeing that the 'senate must
get down to serious business and pass
some sort of measure.
Although Reed predicted the bill
would die in conference with the
house. Senator Smoot, Utah, in
charge of the measure for the fi
nance committe, assured the senate
that ' no Effort was to be made to
kill the legislation in conference and
that it would be handled
s any
other bill when it reaches that stage.
Johnson Starts the Trouble.
Senator Johnson, California, start
ed the debate by calling attention
to conflicting newspaper accounts,
one to the effect that the coalition
of democrats and western republicans
was succeeding in writing: the type
of hill th nresident wanted, and the
other quoting Senator Reed as say-
ire the bill was dead.
proide "b sta erne rEinB ret-
tion ot
the flexible provisions, John-
son said members of the executive
department had used the "party
lit;h to whin senators into line on
the nronosition, yet no cue knew
how Mr. Hoover stood on rates.
The Californian said it was "up
othe executive to say whether he
wants one kind of a bill or another.
Reed Insists It Is Dead.
Senator Reed said he had been
quoted correctly about the bill being
dead and still was of that opinion.
He based this belief on the fact that
the coalition had placed the export
d.
tak
it,
in favor of both these steps, he said.
a hopeless deadlock was in sight
between the two houses
The Pennsylvania senator said
that if the usual course were fol
lowed and he were named a sen
ate conferee he would insist upon
retention of the debentur plan and
repeal of presidential power over
rats, unless the senate instructed its
conferees otherwise. He opposed both
proposals in the voting.
Chairman Smoot said it was up
to the senate itself to decide whether
there was going to be a bill.
He had not heard of a single sen-
ator saving he did not want the mea-
o,, rooi t ti coi.r, ci.i
and wanted the senateto understand
that he had no intention of killing
it in conference.
Has doubt of Agreement
Senatoi Robinson of Arkansas, the
democratic leader, said there never
had been any probability cf a con-
ference agreement during the extra
sesion. vhile the senate could pass
the bill at this session, he "warned
the republicans that they would have
to take - heir share of the responsibil
ity for "whatever happens to this
poor miant.
S.c!iukr Harrison, Mississippi, sug
gested that the president take the re
publican leaders into his confidence
and lot "cither one or the other side
of the republican groups know where
he stands.
Senator Fees, Ohio, disagreed with
this, fcajing it was the exclusive duty
of ccngiess to legislate without "or-
dc-rs from the president."
Uorah Places the Blame.
After Senator Borah insisted the
. . I
reason ror the cnaotic situation in
which the senate found itself was
due to the tariff framing commit-
tees going beyond the limited re-
vision recommended by the presi
dent, Stnator Fees drew forth the
repuL15f.au platform which Borah
helped write. He said it promised
tariff relief to suffering industries
as well as to agriculture.
Agriculture and industry should
ne treated cn tne oasis or the re
spective merits of each item, Fess
added. "The hope for getting the
bill thru is fading," Fess said. "If
we proceed at the present rate, it
will take one year and five months."
Senator Simmons of North Caro
lina, minority spokesman on the tar-
f, said that action in the senate
'son disclosed" that he committee
bill did not have the support of a
majority of the senate.
The trouble arose out of one
fact that we are considering a bill

Simmons said the bill could not
be killed in conference unless the
majority of the senate considered.
If the president could control the
house, he added, then the bill would
be killed, but the responsibility
would rest with the executive.
Get Back to Schedule.
After the turmoil over party re
sponsibility, the senate returned to
consideration of rates in the chem-
icals, oils, and paints schedule and
adopted another batch of republican
committee amendments providing
both increases and decreases in exist-
ing duties.
The drive to be made by Senators
Jones of Washington and Thomas of
Idaho, both republicans, for blanket
increases in these rates to an ad-
valorem minimum of 45 nercent was
1 postponed after Chairman Smoot urg-
ed that committee amendments be
disposed of first.
Party and group lines Eplit on
two rollcalls on the committee pro-
posal to eliminate the house in-
crease of 1 percent a pound in the

weighing with container less than
forty pounds. An amendment by
Senator Wagner, democrat, ftew
York, to cut the rate to six cents
was defeated, 67 to 8, and then a
proposal by Senator Goldsborough,
republican, Maryland, to increase it
to 9 1-2 cents rarried 43 to 34.
On the Wagner proposal, 23 dem-
ocrats and 4 4 republicans voted
against, and two republicans and
six democrats supported it. Golds-
borough's amendment drew 35 repub-
licans and eight democrats to its
support and 23 democrats and eleven
republicans against it.--State Jour

Why Do We Have Laws?
When scientists advance the theo-
ry. that the worlds were made bv
what is known as the Nebulous
Theory, they produce what they
think a very strong argument to
sustain their belief. The Bible says
"in the begining God created the
heavens and the earth, and that the
earth with without form and void.
and that darkness covered the face
I nf Ihp deer. " Aln Is envs that rhir-
ing the period when the earth was
forming for the reception of man,
that it was always by the edict of
God the Creator and no matter about
the Nebular Theory, God was behind
it all. There must of necessity be
some way of conducting so large an
operation as the universe, and so the
Creator thereof rightly should say
just how it should be conducted and
m this way, Jehovah enunciated a
law. If we who are mortals are try
ing to conduct the governments of
the world, are but mortals and the
Father devine, we must of necessity
have laws, to govern our affairs.
I Laws are instituted for the bene-
fit of the governed and eminating
from the sovereign power, which is
from God. Our laws are patterened
after God's laws, and as such are
aimed to be as just as we are mortals
can make them We make mistakes,
and when we do we have the re
course as a people to alter and change
them. Such was the declaration of
the preamble of the Constitution of
the united states, we nrmiy oeneve
the greatest nation on earth.
Laws Enacted For Man's Benefit.

ed, they sang songs of praise to the
God whom they left their former
home and came to America to worship
according to the dictates of their own
conscience, and the inspiration of the
scriptures. As America has depended
on the observance of the laws found
ed upon the Bible they have pros
pered. Of course America has made
some mistakes, but in the main she
has endeavored to observe the com
mands of Jehovah, many of the laws
engrafted in cur constitution and
statutes are from the Bible and the
commands of God.
Christ the Exponent of Law.
During the earlier years of the
world's history, the people often for
got God and were punished there
fore. In fact at the time of the flood,
they had become so wicked, it look
ed like there was nothing to save.
However, God did save eight people
in the ark, and started the world
anew.
The first act was to pledge to
Jehovah obedience and the rainbow
spanned the arch of the sky, as a
testimony between God and man. that
the world should not again be de
stroyed. Still they tinned, and the
race was in condemnation, and the
Father of all, sent His Son, Jesus
the Christ, to pay the penalty, with
his life that we might be given a
chance through grace, as we had for
feited; it througn the technicality cf
law.
Why Should We Obey the Law.
When in the beginning, Cod creat
ed the heavens and the earth, fit
ting it a very paradise for us, we
forfeited that, he destroyed the peo
ple that a new race without sin
might Inhabit the land. Then he sent
his son to pay the penalty of our
sins, and when the Saviour came it
was to pay the sins of all minkind
from the earliest glimmerings of the
history of the world, until the last
person shall inhabit this globe.
The plan of salvation is open and
free to all who will accept. When
God the Father and Chrit the Son,
lrave done what they did for man
kind, looking at the matter In the
attitude of gratitude, for the bless
ings conferred, we should unless we
are ingrates. observe the laws of
mankind, which are patterened after
those of C.oi, and obey them. Not
alone tacidly do this, hut be earn
est in our observance of them and
in seeing that others do so. Obey the
laws, and if we are presuaded that
they are not right, change them, but
do not be a slacker by failing to
