R Marquis. when his car turned turtle at a turn and crushed him Thereafter it was no race. Pullen was 40 miles ahead of the second car at the finish and 55 miles ahead of the third
 Ralph De Palma. who won the Van derbilt cup Thursday, was fourth. Old field, his most persistent opponent the other day, was eliminated by bad motor 10 laps from the finish.

Guy Ball. second, finished in 5:53:23. making a speed of 6S.4 miles an hour. Taylor took third place when Gil Andersons car broke down and lost second place six laps from the finish.

statutes to clear the QeIenuanl.
 Lacy's case was not submitted to the jury until 10:30 o'clock tonight following a lengthy charge by the presiding judge For five days the jury had heard evidence which tended to show the defendants guilt, and for five days they had sat patiently in their seats in the jury box. They re- turned their verdict of guilty in AT minutes after retiring from the court room.
 The defense raised every point of w or technicality which might serve o aid the defendant, but the state s sase WAS too strong. Lacy was be- ssAsyed to be guilty long before the rase was Submitted to the jury. JURY's VERDICT
 NOT "A SURPRISE
 The jury's verdict was not sur prise. It was evident from the mo- ment the trial began that the defense had an uphill fight The state had evidence that Lacy had secured the money. The defense relied on the fact that the state had not proved that Lacy had not released his ownership of this property. The defense main tained that Lacy was responsible to J. G. Oakley, former president of the convict bureau, rather than to the state, and the lawyers representing that side based their entire hopes of acquittal on that ground.
 On the other hand, the state had in troduced B strong chain uf evidence. Ii was proved that Lacy had received s72.- GOO of state funds in his possession and that this money had never reached the state treasury.
 The pnrlcipal theory of the defense. therefore Twas that the state would be unable to iestablish the ownership of the property alleged to have been embedded.
 Argumett in the case began when court convened fthis morning and continued throughof the day.
 IsEIBEIj OPENS
 FOR HE STATE
 Solicitorf William T. Sei,,els opened for the state. and made an able speech to the jur!.{ He declared that Lacy was . thief and his chief purpose in sur rendering was to. secure liberty on a technica4ty of the law.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
PLANNING PROGRAM
BIG CELEBRATION

AS a result of a special meeting
of the Ell Centre fire department
Monday evening a committee con-
sisting of Joseph F. Seymour, Jr.,
Charles Sones and w. E. Jones were
appointed by Chief lumber for the
purpose of soliciting funds for car
rying out the Fourth of July cele-
bration in this city. A special re-
port from the committee which ap-
peared before the trustees last week
was heard.
This report was to the effect that
the trustees would cooperate with
the firemen and rendered whatever
assistance was Necessary. 1t is pre-
sumable the main features of the
celebration will be held at the fair
grounds, while different parades and
fire drills, etc, will be given on the
public streets.
Chief lumber and his men have
been working for some time on the
proposition, part of the details be-
ing assigned to each member who
is especially fitted for that particu
lar section of the celebration.
Arrangements will be made to have
all vehicles stand on the side streets
and in different parts of the city, so
as to leave Main street free for the
exercises. Concessions will be sold
and, together with the funds do
mated by the merchants, it is be-
lieved that the banner Fourth of July

celebration will be held in Ell Centre
and that it will become an annual
event.
The members of the fire depart
ment are figuring on special uni
form for the occasion-white cap,
white shirt, white duck trousers and
white shoes. Most of the men al
ready are in possession of these
articles, but uniformity is desired so
that the department will be able to
turn out in an extra neat appear
ance.
Arrangements will also be made
with some amusement concern to
furnish special entertaining features.
Chief lumber believes that better
results could be had if committee
were to be sent to San Diego or
Los Angeles to confer with some OF
the leading and reliable carnival
companies and in this manner select
some of the choice acts for the
celebration. 1t is thought that about
s7OO VIII cover the actual expenses
of the big day. There will be money
coming from otneT SouiceS, no"S'SA'
besides that subscribed by the mer-
chants. The trustees may be IN
position to make an appropriation
for the occasion. 49,,
The department will have a little
over three months in which to set
tie ali details and began early so as
to provide the very best fiesta ever
seen in the valley. The members
have all entered into it energetically
and the enthusiasm displayed last
night augurs we'll for the quality OF
the celebration.
