10y
the first time in forty years
q national convention of one of
the leading parties Is to be held
in Baltimore. In the old days
the Maryland metropolis was the con-
yention city Of the country, even more
so than Chicago Is now. But with the
movement of population westward the
big town at the head Of the Chesa-
peake lost her political primacy.
Almost from the day that the con.
vention system came into vogue In
American politics Baltimore forged to
the front as the leading national con-
vention town. Perhaps n reason was
that she was situated midway between
the north and the south. Another was
that she was one of the largest cities
in the country. A third was her prox-
unity to the national capital, Balti-
moreans even now speaking Of Wash
ington as a suburb. A fourth was her
hospitality. She makes every guest feel
that he is one of her "own folks and
that she Is at his service to entertain
and make him feel at home. No trou-
BILE Is too great for her to take In his
behalf. Subtly. but without Aattery.

President Jackson was nominated in
Baltimore in 1882. as was Van Buren,.
not only for the campaign of 1886, when
he was elected, but for that Of 1910,
when he was defeated by William
Henry Harrison. In 1914 both con-

MONEY POURING INTO
VALLEY; MORE TO FOLLOW


One does not have to look far TO
see the cause of the abundance of
money reported by the banks For
months the dairymen and livestock
owners have been unusually prosper
Gus, and during the last sixty days a
great quantity of alfalfa and barley
hay has been sold for shipment at good
prices, scores of carloads being sent
to market.
+ Now the barley grain harvest is un.
der way, ana the returns coming in
of production are the most satisfactory
in the history OF the valley. Within a
very short time this crop will be go
ing to market freely.
The first few cantaloupes of a crop
expected 10 reach $500 car loads, have
gone forward, and this industry will
be at the height of activity in a few
days.
Hogs i'm few days will begin to be
fed on the new crop barley, and with
in four or five weeks they will begin
to go to market freely.
There is expected to be ready for
shipment early in July the biggest
and best crop of table grapes ever
grown in the valley, and there is now
being planted the largest acreage of
Egyptian corn ever raised here, the
farmers being anxious to avoid the
threatened fail feed shortage, due TO
heavy shipments of hay.
Some time in August it is expected
to begin picking a new crop of cotton.
and reports indicate that this will be a
bigger crop than the last one.
The result of all this is dollars-doi
lars and activity-and because of all
these things this will be the livelest
and most prosperous of summers

VICTIM OF DOUsLE LIFE

CHICAGO. May 20-The killing of
Ia. c. Dillon by a train near Wilmette,
Ia suburb, Saturday partly solved the
Los Angeles murder mystery. After
piecing together various clews, the po-
lice tonight said they were convinced
the dead man was the mysterious Dill
Ion who has been sought by the Los
Angeles police as the murderer of the
woman and that the woman is Mrs.
Bessie Jones. Several former ac-
quaintances of Mrs. Jones today iden-
tilted the picture of the slain woman
as that of Mrs. Jones. Until six weeks
ago Dillon and Mrs. Jones lived at
1921 Evanston avenue, Chicago. He
left and few days later she disap-
peared. Post cards mailed from Nor
folk. Va, were received by acquaint-
ances from Mrs. Jones. Nothing has
Ieen heard from her since. Shortly
afterwl1d DillOus wife's relatives
here received post cards and letters
from him mailed in Denver and Los
Angeles. Friends testified at the in
quest today that Dillon returned from

CONSIGNMENT OF OATES
COMES FROM ALG|ERS

w. E. Whsle, county horticultural
commissioner, left this morning for
Mecca, where a consignment of date
off-shoots has just been received by
the American Date company from Al
giers, and Mr.. Wilsie will cooperate
with Riverside county officials in max.
ing thorough examination of the of
shoots to detect any parasite.
1t is thought possible the importa-
tion of date offshoots is nearing an
end, owing TO the opposition manifest
by the government of Algiers. The
company in this case left behind 1900
off-shoots rather than attempt to get
them out through opposition to the
government and in the future it is ex-
pected the trees will have to be propa-
gated at home.
Mr.. Whsle says that it is probable
the importers will plant the off-shoots
In nursery form for a year, where they
can obtain better care during the ruot-
ing period, and they will then be trans
planted in orchard form.

NEEDLES IS FIGHTING
COLORADO RIVER AGAIN

SAN BERNARDINO, May 2O.-De-
fected by large sandbar recently
formed, the Colorado river, which is
in food because of melting
mountain SHOWS, threatened the de-
struction of part of the town of Nee
dies Saturday.
The 30OO-foot concrete wall, built
by the Santa Fe railway company a
year ago to protect the town from the
river, is crumbling, and the round
house of the company is said to be in
imminent danger. The change in the
current swung the full force of the
stream against the Needles side of
the river.
The big ore ,smelter also is said to
be in danger, as weh as other valuable
property as far south as Parker, near
Yuma, where the floods are fiercely
assailing The big piers which support
the new $f0O0,OOO railroad bridge.
The Santa Fe railroad has had a
large force of men at work reinforcing
tt~s protective dixie at Needles for
several days. Attempts to destroy the
DETECTING sandbar with dynamite have
been delayed by fears that the avail
able boats are not capable of with
standing the swirling currents of the
turbulent river.
