today it was urged by Henry p. Bar
bour, who recently returned from a trip
through the Imperial and Yuma val
leys, that the new municipal docks at
the local harbor be dedicated by the
shipment over them of the first big
cargo Of cotton from the Imperial val
ley. Mr. Barbour enthused on the de-
velopment of the cotton growing indus

within five years 300, 900 bales Of cotton
would be produced there. He empha-
sized the Importance of this industry

STRONG WITNESS
IS MYSTERIOUS
More Dupes Tell How Their Own
Greed Caused Them to Be SWIM
died Out of Thousands on
Fake Matches

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, March 15.
Howard Simpson, a Spokane real
estate dealer. furnished the sensation
in the trial of John c. Maybray and
associates in the federal district court
today, charged with the fraudulent use
of the mails.
No witness called thus far has re-
ceived the attention accorded Simpson.
Considerable mystery surrounded the
manner in which he secured informa-
ton he vouchsafed in the case, and
neither side attempted to show how he
came into possession of it. He indi-
Gated clearly, however, that he had
been in touch with the leading defen-
dants for many years. was perfectly
familiar with their handwriting, their
method of operation. and, in most cases,
with their personality.
Mr. Simpson said he was a man of
wealth and standing in his home city.
The government introduced a direc-
tory of about 200 names of men who
are alleged to have been identified with
Maybray in his operations. This direc-
tory was taken from Maybray's effects
when he was arrested at Little Rock,
Ark, and was compiled, according to
the chirography, by various persons.
Simpson unhesitatingly identified the
handwriting of each person and the
defense made no effort to combat his
testimony.
