Hoover Bent on
Completing Job
at White House
Leaves Palo Alto Home for a Fast
Train Trip to Washington To
Maike Trip in 90 Hours.
Palo Alto. President Hoover
turned eastward Friday night, rested
and ready for a speedy trip back to
the national capital to take a hand
once more in pressing national and
international affairs. Cutting short
his vacation by a day in order to
place his hand closer to the helm of
governmental matters, the president
was described by the white house
physician, Dr. Joel T. Boone, as
"ready to go back and finish his job."
His special train left here at 9 p. m.
The president already is looking
forward to the program he will place
before congress and to the requests
of foreign nations for debt discus
sions. One of his secretaries told
newspapermen, however, debt ques
tions were being handled from Wash- j
ington and that "these matters will
not be placed formally before the
president until he reaches the white
house." J
Mr. Hoover spent a quiet day in
his home here before starting his re
turn journey, which railroad execu
tives have outlined as a flying nine
ty hour trip that will place him back
in Washington by Tuesday noon. A
minimum of stops has been requested
by the chief executive. He spent a
short time Friday in writing the
brief rear platform address he will
deliver Saturday morning at Glen-
dale, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles,
before leaving his train for a fifteen
mile automobile ride to allow Mrs.
Hoover to see the new home of their
son, Herbert Hoover, jr. The presi
dential party will board tho train
again at Alhambra, Calif., in order
to save time on the return trip to
the capital.
The rough outline of the itiner
ary to be followed by tae Hoover
party included brief stops at Yuma
and Tucson A.riz., El Paso, Tex
Kansas City, St. Louis and on east
ward. One of the white house sec
retaries said that altho the presiden
might appear on the rear platform
at some of these stops he has plan
ned to make no formal speeches after
leaving Glendale.
After sending a message to be
read at the tomb of the unknown
soldier in Washington, Mr. Hoover
confined his formal participation in
Armistice day events to receiving in
the driveway of his home a group of
men from the Palo Alto post of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, and pre
senting a medal of the Order of the
Purple Heart to A. N. Neilson, World
war veteran. A delegation of local
veterans watched the ceremony and
applauded the president.
Among those invited to accom
pany the president on his return to
Washington were Marshall Hale
California republican leader, Secre
tary and Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur
Mark L. Requa, republican national
committeeman from California, and
Milton Esberg, California manufac
turer and close friend of Mr. Hoover.
A crowd gathered about the sta
tion and cheered the president as he
and Mrs. Hoover waved farewell. The
president stood on the rear platform
of the train several minutes, smiMng
and waving at the crowd while photo
graphers used their flashlights. In
response to the greetings he said
"I deeply appreciate this expression
of good will from my own neighbors."

State Supreme Court Says That It
Is Not Ne3li522.ce to Drive In
to Cloud cf Bust.
The supremo court Thursday cent
back for retrial in Sarpy county the
damage case of Clarence P. Bainter
against Leo Appel and the Yant Con-
struction company, with tho latter
out of tha litigation becau.se Eainter
had not shown that the relation of
master and servant existed between
the two defendants. The trial court
held that it was negligence on
Bainter's part to drive into a cloud
of dust cn a gravel road, and hence
he could not recover against Appel,
whose truck he met hcadon, even tho
Appel was driving on the wrong side
of the highway.
The court said that it is prima
facie Lawful for a driver of an auto
mobile to drive in on the portion of
the road over which he has the right
of way at a speed not exceeding fif
teen miles an hour when arproaeh
ing within fifty feet of and in tra
versing an intersection when hi?
view i3 obstructed. His view will be
deemed to be obstructed when at any
time during the last fifty feet of his
approach to the intersection he does
not have a clear and uninterrupted
view of such intersection and of the
traffic upon all highways entering
it for a distance of 200 feet from the
intersection.
As Bainter was driving on the
right side of the road, and as to east
bound traffic had the exclusive right
of way, he could assume that one
driving in the opposite direction
would not project his car into a cloud
of dust on his side of the road. The
decision construes for the first time
the new uniform highway law, and
in doing so the court says it is re
quired to take judicial notice of the
state highway rules promulgated by
the state road department and to
construe them as an addition to the
statutes rather than in explanation
or interpretation thereof.
