murder an abandoned automobile run
about, rented from a Boston garage,
and which Marsh was seen to have
entered on the morning he disap
peared, was found buried to the hubs
in the marshes. A description of the
man who rented it tailed with the
description of the man who had been
hanging about the Marsh home. This
description also fitted that of dis
tant relative, about 25 years old, who
lived in Stockton, Cal. With nothing
to connect this man with the crime
but these meagre descriptions, Mas
sachusetts police visited the home OF
Dorr in California, where they found
he was engaged to woman older
than himself. who also was distantly
related to Marsh. Dorr expected to
share in an estate thought to be ap-
proximately $1000,000. Dorr was
learned to have started for Massa-
chusetts about two weeks before
Marsh was murdered. Arrested and
taken to Massachusetts, Dorr was
identified as being the man who
watched Marsh's home. Dorr
feigned insanity so well for time
it was thought he never would be
brought to trial. Later he realized
feigning was futile and confessed on
the witness stand.

the other had been the individual who
did the forging.
Neither could speak English, re-

money and had another on his per-

Miss Grace BreedlOve Wins
$1275 Prize Automobile
In the Great Contest

Finishing with the enormous total
of more than three and one-half mil
lion votes, Miss Grace Breedlove won
the prize Hupmobile in the Press con-
test Saturday night. Miss Breedlove
had stood high in the score list
throughout the entire campaign, head
ing the score list many times, but
she always managed to keep a good
sized reserve of votes and could not
be induced to show her hand in full
at any time during the campaign.
During the last two or three weeks
of the contest, she worked eXcep-
tionally hard in Imperial, Holtville
and Calexico, as we'll as in Ell Cen
tro and the country districts through
out the valley, and every day during
that time secured from six to twenty
five subscriptions for periods of one
wear or more each. Her chief com
plant throughout the campaign was
that her friends were so eager to
help that they gave her subscriptions
for from one to five years before
she had tim eto finish the little speech
size Htu pTepdTeu lOi liC oo,uoloh' -
there are any in Imperial, Holtville
or the rural district in that vicinity
who have not subscribed in her ia
vor, it is probably because they are
newcomers in the valley and have not
vet had the pleasure of her acquain-
tance.
Miss Breedlove generally had
checks for subscriptions made in her
favor, and banked the money in the
First National Bank of Imperial,
where the tellers were nearly
swamped few days ago by her de-
posits of checks for SO, $6 and SIS
items. The jury of awards found her
system of turning in subscriptions
with a single check to cover all she
had obtained up to noon Saturday
saved them much time in checking
up the cash and commented favorably
upon the fact that her figures were
so easily verified.
Miss HalIam Wins Seeley Lot.
Miss Hallam finished second in the
list with score of nearly three mil
lion votes. She did remarkably well
throughout the campaign and wins a
very handsome prize in the $500 lot
in Seeley. This lot is located on the
main business street of Seelev and
about half block from Edgar Bros.
store.

Committee Recommends All
Stage Lines Vacate Main
Street; Pool Halls O. K.

That all stage lines will be COM
PEELED to vacate Main street and to
secure locations on. either Fifth, Sixth
or Broadway, leaving State street
free, is the main point in the report
of the special committee consisting
of Trustees Egerer, Swanson and
Travers, which will be submitted at
the meeting of the city council held
either this evening on Tuesday night.
The pool rooms will be practically
left as before. 1t may be possible,
stated Trustee William Egerer this
morning. that some regulations or
recommendation will be made as to
the hours when music will be per-
mitted. 1t is the belief that with
the stage lines barred from stopping
at the entrances of the pool halls,
much of the Objectionable comment
against the amusement parlors will
have disappeared.
In speaking of the recommenda-
tions, Police Commissioner William
EPerer said:
"We have decided to remove all of
the stage lines from Main street. We
thought it wise to permit State street
to be free from them also, on ac-
count of the public library and the
churches ON that street. There will
be sufficient room on Fifth and
Sixth streets, while the block on
Broadway bounded by those two
streets will supply any other needed
space for stations for the various
stage lines.
"We are also going to recommend
