The : President’s appointment of Senator Hugo L, Black of Alabama to succeed Justice Willis Van Devanter, resigned, on the United States Supreme Court bench comes as a shock to thousands of Americans, regardless of party affiliation. Senator Hiram Johnson’s quick move to have the appointment duly considered by committee and the. usual investigation made, was a tactful move to delay for a few days, what most correspondents regard as inevitable, Senate confirmation. Actually of course Black’s record in the New Deal is an.open book. There has been no more blatant supporter of Roosevelt’s extremely radical reforms, than Senator Black. He is now rewarded for ‘that loyalty to Party and disloyalty to everything that is fine and splendid in.American traditions and government. He has been an an advocate of measures in Congress, which, if. his appointment is confirmed, he will now pass upon as a Supreme Court Justice. Had he been an attorney, pleading any these New Deal causes in any court he would have.legally disqualified himself from sitting in judgment on the constitutionality of measures, which he has mightily helped to pass through Congress. Senator Black was the author of a 30-hour work week bill before and after NRA, and declared in connection with it that private must shorten hours or continue to bear the burden of unemployment and dole taxes. He headed the Senate committee investigation which followed. Farley’s repudiation of air mail contracts, and the substitution of army fliers,for private carriers which resulted in the death of 12 S. army: pilots.

Trujillo, 20 years old, is now in the county jail charged with petty theft. For some time _officials have been on the lookout for. sneak thieves who steal women’s purses while they are dancing . in the various resorts. Saturday night, Dean Johnson, deputy employed at LeBar Meadows, caught Trujillo in the very act of “‘lifting a purse”. He stafted for Trujillo who darted: through the door and made off with the speed of an antelope. Johnson pounded along behind and fired two shots over the fugitive’s head. And Trujillo, seared, flung the purse away and opened up new reservoirs of speed. . He did not look too closely where he was going, however, and ran into barbed wire fence. The fence received him and gave away a lit. -tle, then shot him back like an ar. row from a bow right into the . arms of the deputy. But he was a changed and different Trujillo. When he _ hit the fence he was a dapper dandy. When the fence shot him back to Johnson, he, was tattered and torn. One pants leg and other fragments of his habiliments hiad stayed with the fence. He ran too ALLEGED FISH BLASTER . . four places were ruled out. Dorf was in charge of the starting . of the races and also was judge of. Nevada City swimmers upheld the inter-city swimming meet between Grass Valley and Nevada City .Sunday at the Pioneer Park pool.

Unusually fast time, beating C. I. F. records, was made in both the 100 yard free style won by WaAlt Hallet and the 50 yard backstroke won by Phil Joyal, both of the local team. Certtificates were given to the winners of various events by the City of Nevada with colored ribbons on in the event. Class A.

He has risen by bawling loudest his desire to champion the underdog. He lacks the personal mag-! he grammar school will open for natism of Long but is endowed with a shrewder mind. He is probably the poorest specimen of judicial material to be nominated, to a place on Sinreme Court in the last fifty years. He is fifty one years old and will probably outlive the man who appoints him to this high place in govern. ment. “The good that men do dies with them but the evil livés on.”’ . But speaking of underdogs. The South of the good old U. S. A. has the largest underdog of any part of the globe except possibly China. This underdog consists of a Negro population mueh largér than that in the Congo and a population of illiterate whites that live on a plane little higher than that of the Negroes. Generally. speaking the Southern Democratic gentlemen in the Senate do not want this underdog disturbed. The old saying: “Let sleeping dogs lie,”’ suits them down to the ground. They do not wish actually to increase wages, for if they do the ‘“Vazy hounds” won’t work 12 hours a day, or many days a ‘week, and further, if wages are increased, they will have to compete on a somewhat more equal basis with industry in.the North. The Southern Democrat in} politics is more conservative actually than any Northern Republican ever dreamed of being. Black cannot but be regarded by his Southern confrefire ‘brand whose proposal of a thirty-hour week and high minimum pay of 40 cents an hour would raise merry hell with labor conditions in the Sowth, if it were enacted into law. Already Senator Glass of Virginia has announced he will not, vote confirmation of Black. Perhaps Glass’ view of the matter will gain followers enough among the Conservative Democrats to beat the nomination, but it ‘does not.seem likely. This demagogue will probably be elevated to the United States Supreme Court. Luther Marsh, Jr,, and. Keith Marsh had their tonsils removed Saturday. Dr. Tickell was the physician in charge.

Coolidge. : He sailed from Tangku, the port of ! the city of Tientsin on July 21 after . snending two weks in the war zone. . Because the trains leaving Tientsin were crowded, he was allowed only hand baggage, being forced to leave, his trunks full of fossils in the East . Station, Since the ‘bombing of that structure, he has had no word concerning the fate of his important scientific finds. There is a possibility that his baggage may have been moved before fighting broke out and: put on a steamer enroute to this country. ZAPée On Dr. Chaney spent seven weeks in the area round ‘Peiping, collecting fossils of plant life from the rocks. He was on commission from the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D. C., and was working in cone. with the Chinese National Geological ! . Survey. In the course of his search, he uncovered many fossils of plants which were present in Oregon and California during the Miocene Age. These included maple, oak, and walnut trees. This, he believes, is evidence that these Asiatic and North American trees had a common origin and were spread over two continents, probably crossing from Asia to North America via a land bridge across what is now Bering Sirait. Other evidence gathered leads him to believe that the giant Katsura tree, now flourishing as a lumber tree in Japan and China . but, unknown on :this continent, may have had its origin in North America. He has uncovered fossils of the Katsura tree in abundance in the Miocene strata of North America but has never found evidence that they lived in the Miocene age in Asia. Two days before fighting broke out in the Peiping-area Dr. Chaney visit. ed the now famous caves at Choukoutien where the fossils of the Peking Man have been uncovered. . struction has shown that Peking Man 1,194 total vehicles, 597 average per ; day, 37 average per hour; Grass Vallev-Nevada City highway. south of .

Station, Since the ‘bombing of that structure, he has had no word concerning the fate of his important scientific finds. There is a possibility that his baggage may have been moved before fighting broke out and: put on a steamer enroute to this country. ZAPée On Dr. Chaney spent seven weeks in the area round ‘Peiping, collecting fossils of plant life from the rocks. He was on commission from the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D. C., and was working in cone. with the Chinese National Geological ! . Survey. In the course of his search, he uncovered many fossils of plants which were present in Oregon and California during the Miocene Age. These included maple, oak, and walnut trees. This, he believes, is evidence that these Asiatic and North American trees had a common origin and were spread over two continents, probably crossing from Asia to North America via a land bridge across what is now Bering Sirait. Other evidence gathered leads him to believe that the giant Katsura tree, now flourishing as a lumber tree in Japan and China . but, unknown on :this continent, may have had its origin in North America. He has uncovered fossils of the Katsura tree in abundance in the Miocene strata of North America but has never found evidence that they lived in the Miocene age in Asia. Two days before fighting broke out in the Peiping-area Dr. Chaney visit. ed the now famous caves at Choukoutien where the fossils of the Peking Man have been uncovered. . struction has shown that Peking Man 1,194 total vehicles, 597 average per ; day, 37 average per hour; Grass Vallev-Nevada City highway. south of .
