ASK CONVICTION OF KEYES FOR GRAFTJJHARGE State Sums Up Case Against Former Los Angeles Prosecutor. Bv United Prenn LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8— Buron Fitts, war-crippled prosecutor, who reached the office of district attorney through the benefactions of his predecessor, Asa Keyes, asked a jury of ten women and two men today to convict his former legal chief of accepting bribes while in office. District Attorney Fitts made the State's final plea which may send Keyes, Ben Getzoff and Ed Rosenberg to the penitentiary. The case probably will reach the jury late today. Fitts, who underwent more than a score of operations to save a shelltorn leg, resigned as LieutenantGovernor of California and was elected district attorney without opposition when ugly rumors of graft and corruption followed the dismissal of the Julian Petroleum Corporation defendants-and resulted in the present bribery indictments. - Fitts’ plea was his big moment and the climax of the state’s case against Keyes and his co-defendants —just as it was the climax for the former district attorney who characterized the trial as “the most important case in my tw r enty-six years of public service.” It seemed inevitable that the two men would clash in heated argument just as they did when Keyes, in his final plea for acquittal, attacked Fitts and defense fitnesses With his old slashing fury. The state charges that Keyes received a total of $165,000 in bribes and that Getzoff and Rosenberg paid $125,000 of that amount to gain their freedom in the Julian Petroleum trials. Keyes engaged in several verbal Clashes with his former aide before he reached the dramatic heights of his final plea. His daughter and a former secretary wept, as did several jurors, while the former prosecutor appealed to them. “You know, friends, a man in j public office for twenty-five years, especially in the district attorney’s office, is bound to make enemies. Perhaps some of you have formed an opinion of prejudice that may linger in your hearts today. All I can do is to beg that you lay aside any bias you may have against a man who for twenty-five years endeavored to do his duty by the people." “If T go to the penitentiary I do so with the full knowledge in my heart that an innocent man has been convicted,” Keyes summed up.

EXPERTS WILL WATCHECLIPSE One Due in May; Another Set for 1930. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Feb. B.— With a party of astronomers now crossing the Pacific to observe the eclipse of the sun in the Philippines in May, the United States Naval Observatory here already is making preliminary efforts to observe the following one. This will take place Oct. 22, 1930. In the naval appropriation bill, reported to the hpuse, an item of $3,600 is included for observations of the eclipse. Owing to the fact that preparations for such observations must be many months in advance, the eclipse must be thought of now, even though it comes in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1931, Captain C. S. Freeman, superintendent of the naval observatory, told the appropriations committee. •With its path of totality crossing the South Pacific ocean, there are only two small islands from which the eclipse can be observed. One is Nurakita, in the Ellice group, but it is flat, thickly wooded, and difficult to reach. The other is Niuafou Island, situated about midway between the groups of Samoa, Fiji and Tonga. It belongs to the principality of Tcnga, the only self-governing state in the South Pacific. Chief communication with the rest of the world is by means of the monthly inter-island steamer. Probably the naval party, if the appropriation is approved, will travel to the American Naval base at Tutuila, in Samoa, where a naval tvg can be obtained to carry the party the remaining 300 miles. Carols were first sung in the thirteenth century.

‘ELECTRIC EYE’ PUTS OUT FIRE; CAN CALL COPS Device Demonstrated to Guard Man’s Goods or Do His Work. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. B.— Science has perfected a system of nevertiring “electric eyes” to stand guard over man and his possesions. Known to technicians as a “pho-to-electric cell,” the device emerged •at the annual dinner of the American Institute Thursday night as fireman, policeman and factory hand of infinite ingenuity. It was demonstrated by John V. Breisky of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. The “electric eyes” played fireman first. A lighted match was tossed into a tank of gasoline and kerosene. As soon as the eyes, whose electric current varies with the amount of light they receive, perceived the shadow of the smoke, they released carbon dioxide and smothered the flames. Then the eyes played factory hand. Small packages of supposedly uniform size and shape were passed before them. If one of the bundles was defective or lacked a label it immediately was pulled out of line by the eyes. Similarly, the device counted the guests as they entered the banquet room. Last came the role of policeman! The eyes demonstrated they could sound an alarm at the mere approach of a human hand.

LABOR OUT TO UNIONIZESTEEL Campaign Believed Slated for This Year. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. B.— Belief that efforts will be made this year to unionize the steel industry was expressed in government circles today, as the result of a conference here Wednesday between William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and M. J. Tighe, of Pittsburgh, an official of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tinplate Workers. Although no official confirmation was forthcoming, the impression prevails that the proposal will receive serious attention when the executive council of the federation meets at Miami Feb. 18. Several attempts have been made to unionize the steel industry, but none has been successful.
