Attorney J. F. Seymour, Jr., ap-

mented a contention that McCrory
was being illegally detained in the

that his client should be remanded
back to the proper authority, the mar

On this question City Attorney j,

Latest Information.

At a late hour this afternoon it is
learned that the train from Los An
geles left the Junction at 2:3O and
is due here at $3.50.
The regular day train left Los An
geles for the valley on time this morn

During the day the air has been
cooler than for several days, and it
is expected that still cooler weather
will prevail for time.
No rain has fallen during the day,
though clouds hang around the hori-
zon, and the prediction of further
showers on the coast may imply that
shows are possible in the valley.

Extra Session of
Court Necessary

Owing to the fact that criminal and
civil cases before Judge Franklin j.
Cole in Superior court have about
doubled for the past four months over
the same period last year, due un-
questionably to the sale of booze in
the valley, Judge Cole will declare an
extra session of court to better clear
the calendar. The session will be de-
clared February l.
In the event that an extra Superior
court Judge cannot be secured, an at
torney, agreed upon by attorneys in
the case, may be appointed, to sit in
that particular matter, the law pro-
viding that such appointee may judge
in any cause as judge pro tenn and
such decisions be as binding as if
pronounced by Superior Judge.
The extra session court will sit in
the county supervisors chambers.

Credit Bill To
Aid the Farmers

(From Congressman C. H. Tavenner.)
Washington, Jan. 27.-Congressman
E. R. Bathrick of Ohio, who has been
making an extended and minute study
of the farm credit problem, has rein
torduced his farmers credit bill in
the House with some new and inge-
nious features Incorporated therein.
The principle underlying the Bath
rick theory of rural credit is that the
government should borrow money, US
ing its own credit to secure low in
terest rates in the money markets of
the world. This money would be bor-
rowed on bonds. The government would
then re-loan this money to farmers on
the security of their farm mortgages.
These mortgages would, of course, be
the security for the government bonds
to be issued. Under such an arrange
ment Bathrick thinks the government
could let farmers have money at about
or Az per cent interest, making a
good profit in addition, which could
be devoted to the improvement Of
country roads.
The new features which Mr.. Bath
rick has added to his bill have to do
with the organization and manage
ment of such an institution as he pro-
poses. He would have an organiza-
tion committee consisting of the Sec
retary of agriculture, the postmaster
general, the secretary of the treasury
and two farmers appointed by the
president. After this board has or
ganzed the farmers credit system, it
shall continue thereafter only in an
advisory capacity.
The actual administration of the
system would be in the hands of a
new bureau of the Department of Ag-
riculture, to be known as the Farm
Credit Bureau. The commissioner of
this bureau would be the active head
of the farm credit system, having
complete charge of the investigation
of all applications for loans and for
all details of the business. The bill
Imperial Valley press., 1914-01-27

gives the advisory board power to call
upon any government employees to as
sist in operating the system. Thus,
Bathrick thinks, the postmasters Of
the country, who are the closest gov
ernment employees to farmers, could
be appraisers of farm values, inspec-
tors in the system and custodians, OF
all the necessary blank forms to be
used by applicants for loans.
The bill would then encourage the
formation of farmers farm credit as
sociations throughout the country.
These could be profit-earning organi-
cations, being paid by the government
for services in appraising and inspect
ing securities. Through these associ-
ations loans would be made to farm
ers. The commissions upon mortgages
would be the profits of the organiza-
tions and farmers would be encour-
aged to invest in these associations.
With this capital at hand, the associ-
ations could make short time loans to
farmers in their vicinity, leaving the
long term loans to the government
system.
In commenting upon his bill, Mr..
Bathrick said:
"One theory of the bill is that the
profit of making this class of loans
shall be wholly employed to the ad-
vantage of all the people and shall not
be given into the hands of very few
of the people, whose extortion has
heretofore operated to create bad
condition of agriculture, which we are
now endeavoring to cure"

Wilson is understood to have ex-

last night. 1t is stated the president

of the embargo prohibiting the rebels
to ship arms across the border.
1t is believed this will be effective,
as Carranza has waiting at the bor-

munition. The president discussed the
Japanese Mexican situation with the

HANDY & WEBB'S BIG
ALL.STAR VARIETY SHOW

The best of praise can be given to
the Handy & Webb All-Star Variety
Show, which opened at the Tulane
theatre last night.
Webb and White opened with their
unique novelty comedy act, "The Girl
From Nowhere" and made a big hit
with the many in attendance, and
were recalled several times. Miss
White has a good voice and medley
of popular songs with which she
opened the act made good impress
sion from the start. She is costumed
in the latest gablegrams from Paris
and her dainty feet are shod in jew
eled slippers. Mr.. Webb, as black
face comedian, is scream and kept
the crowd almost suffocated with
laughter. The comedy is clean and
new and scored heavily.
Little Marie, the Girl with the Doll,
is indeed clever entertainer, playing
a mandolin in an exceptional manner
and producing both melody and har-
mony. Little Marie is not only ver-
satile, but pretty, cute and winsome,
making hit with the audience with
her clever stories and good singing.
The last song she sings, using the
doll, causes no end of merriment with
the audience.
Handy, the king of comedy Jug
glers, certainly lived up to his ad-
vance notices and was a riot and
scream from start to finish, some very
difficult stunts being performed by
him with apparent ease and an air
Of Indifference. His work was char
acterized by extraordinary rapidity
and precision of movement and the
opinion of both press and public is
that Handy is the best juggler ever
seen in this city.
The illustrated song by Miss St.
Clare was beautiful and was received
"Aei HULL opPiduoS. VdIu N new
ton closed the bill with their nifty
nonsense. Mr.. Ward is one of the
cleverest comedians ever seen in the
west and his work is side-splitting in
its eccentricities. Miss Newton is the
daintiest, prettiest little songbird and
dancer who ever visited Ell Centre and
is worth going miles to see. The work
of this clever team last night was
revelation to the patrons of the The
atre Tulane and their surprise finish
shook the audience with laughter.
The Management of the Tulane the
atre should be congratulated on secur-
ing Handy & Webb's All-Star Varie-
ties, as this attraction is the best ever
seen in this city.
There will be an entire change of
program tonight.

This was the declaration of Gen.

speech since leaving the American
border, where he conferred with Will
liam Bayard Hale. The speech showed
bitterness toward America, particu-
larly for failure to lift the embargo
on arms. He declared nations and in
dividuals are ready with suggestions
regarding the conduct of affairs in
Mexico, but are not ready to furnish
tangible assistance when it is possible.
He declared America has Disseminated
in favor of Huerta and needlessly pro-
longed the war, causing heavy losses
of life, through failure to lift the
arms embargo. Therefore, he said,
her citizens need not expect repara-
tion for their financial losses in Mex
leo when the constitutionalists are

no peace program, as he will wage
war to determination against Huerta,
and that constitutionalist success is in
