Colonel Cantu could not be reached
for statement on the suit today. He
is rephted to own an apartment house
in Pasadena, a new $4,000 apartment
house is reported to have been built
by him near Los Angeles and he is
said to have approximately $50, 900 on
deposit in Los Angeles.
Superior Judge Cole this morning ex-
pressed doubt as to whether his iur-
isdiction would allow him to hand
down decree determining whether
the present de faCto government of
Mexico was a legally constituted gov
ernment. Attorney Butcher of Calexico,
who is appearing for Carranza, was
urged to take the case to the federal
court but il was later decided to hear
the case here after an instance EN-
bodying elements similar to those in
VolNed i'm the present case was cited
The case, dealt with by a Missouri
court some years ago, was instigated
by the King of Prussia against a per
son in Missouri whom the ruler al
legged to have money in his possession
which belonged to Prussian subjects.
! The case has been set for hearing
next Friday morning and Superior
Judge Cole said that it would be neces-
sary to prove that the present Mexican
administration is n legally constituted
government as well as to prove that
Consul Paroles is a legally empowered
representative of the present govern
ment
In the event that IL is not estab-
lished that the present government is
legally constituted II will be possible
70 tie up the money involved until
that point has been determined, he
said.
The fact that the money is depos-
tied in the name of the Mexican
government and not in Colonel Cantu's
name has little bearing on the case, he
says, as long as the funds are de-
rived from government revenues and
taxes.

While no definite action has yet
been taken over the request of the di-

Commerce asking for financial sup
port to assist in keeping the Bay City

probable that no money will be forth

Clever Detective Work of Chief Re-
suits in Laying Burglary Charge to
Door of j. W. CrOsby-0ut ON Parole
From Walla WalIa Pen.

Chief of Police Grant Robbins, pull
ed off a nice little piece of detective
work this week. During the last two
or three months there have been quite
a number of petty burglaries commit
ted in town. On last Friday afternoon,
the residence of w. E. Rogers on
South Almond street was entered, and
a valuable diamond was taken from
a stick pin. The matter was immed-
lately reported to Chief Robbins, and
the next day he succeeded in fixing the
crime upon one ]. w. Crosby, who has
been around the town since the latter
part of July. When confronted with
the evidence Mr. Robbins had procur-
ed, Mr. Crosby broke down and con-
fessed. he also confessed to number
of other acts that the chief has had
under investigation.
1t developed that Mr.. Crosby had
been confined in the Washington state
at Walla Walla, for bur
glary, having served three years of
15-year term. and was out on parole.
Mr.. Robbins Immediately communicat-
ed the affair to Warden Drum, and
the prospects are that Mr.. Crosby will
have to serve the remainder of his
term there, about twelve years.

Agent Authorized

The city council has ordered de-
duction of $3.50 from the total con-
tract price coming to the Wycoff-
Green Paving company for the Polk
district No. 5. This action was ta-
ken at the meeting of the council
Monday night when committee re-
ported on the work stating that the
work was not completed within II days
of the specified time allowed in the
contract. The contract provides for
a penalty of $50 per day for each day
over the limit that the work is not

tee was adopted and the city engineer
was ordered to make up the assess
ment roll deducting the $3.50. 1t is
expected that the paving company
will protest against the penalty.
The council transacted much rou-
tine business including the auditing
of current monthly bills which were al
lowed. A resolution was adopted pro-
viding for the drafting of an ordinance
creating city purchasing agent. This
will make it necessary for all en-
ployees of the city to make purchases
for city needs through one head.
resolution was also adopted requiring
all elective and appointive officers OF
the city to make monthly reports TO
the council as we'll as annual report.
