First Passenger Ship.

Los Angeles, Feb. 1.-THE steamer
Great Northern, the swiftest Ameri-
can passenger ship afloat and the first
passenger boat through the Panama
canal, arrived at Los Angeles harbor
today from Philadelphia, with 563 dis
tinguished Fasteners aboard. The
ship was met at the dock by a Joint
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce and the 1915 entertainment
committee, who conducted the guests
in autos and special street cars
through the city and suburbs. Later
they entertained them at Hotel Alex
andria at luncheon. The Fasteners
brief stay was made a continuous
round of enjoyment of Southern Cali
fornia sunshine. Among the passen-
gers are former Governor and Mrs.
Glynn of New York and Norman f.
Mack, former national Democratic
chairman. The boat left late this aft
ernoon for San Francisco.

STEPS FROM MOVING
CAR: WOMAN INJURED

A misstep when she was alighting
from a moving stage in front of her
home on Imperial avenue, Tuesday
afternoon, resulted in painful injuries
to Mrs. L. McDarby. The woman,
in addition to bruises and abrasions,
was rendered unconscious by the
shock and was removed to st. Thomas
hospital, where she was treated by To-
cal physicians.
For some time the husband of the
injured woman has been treated at
st. Thomas hospital for apopleXy, and
il was on the return trip from a visit
with her husband that the accident
occurred. The stage on which Mrs.
McDarby was passenger, halted
slowly in front of the woman's home.
In her haste to alight she stepped
from the still moving car. Apparent
ly misgauging the distance, the woman
was thrown violently to the earth.
An ambulance was summoned and
the injured woman was rushed to st.
Thomas hospital, where she received
medical attention. According to re-
ports this morning her condition is not
serious.

STAGE OPERATORS
IN VARIANCE

Various Operators Who sppeared last
night before the city trustees seem
to have again developed n diversity
of opinion among themselves, despite
their statements at a previous meet
ing that the ordinance requiring the
removal of all stages from the streets
of this city would be satisfactory.
The variance existing between the
drivers appears to be the disinclina-
ton of some to move their stands from
the business streets, who declare that
they prefer an increased license rate,
while others strongly favor a stage
depot or central station for stages ply
ing between valley points.
According to an announcement made
this morning, the trustees in the pro-
posed ordinance now being framed
probably will draw a contradistinction
between the stages that ply regularly
and those which stand bearing For
Hire" signs. The completed ordinance
is expected to be placed before the
trustees at their next regular meet

Does Not Accept Defeat.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE president
will stand pat on the ship purchase
bill, it was announced at the White
House today. No compromise will be
acceptable, but the Gore bill as it now
stands will be adhered to by the adj
ADMINISTRATION until the end. If neces-
sary, the president will go to the
country on it. If the measure is de-
feated at the present session of the
Senate an extra session probably will
be called.
Action by the House is now being
considered as a result of a conference
held by the president today with
Fletcher and Simmons. 1t was deemed
significant today when it was an
nounced that Lane has been delegated
by the president to attend the formal
opening of the San Francisco expo
sition. This is taken to mean that
the president, seeing an extra session
inevitable, has given up hopes of at
tending the fair himself.

APHIS ENIGMA SOON
is TO BE SOLVED

The mystic problem of the elusive
aphis is soon to be solved. Since the
appearance of the pest in the valley,
its comings and going have proved an
enigma to local authorities on the bug
question, but within the next few days
Imperial county is to have aid from
the University of California.
Today E. L. Barrett, of the Bureau
of Entomology of the United States
Department of Agriculture, is in Ell
Centre and is approximating super
ficial estimate of the extent of the
aphis at this time. Mr.. Barrett, whose
headquarters are at Pasadena, arrived
in Brawley last night, came to Ell Cen
tro this morning and is in session
with F. w. Waite, county horticul-
tural commissioner, today.
The aphis experts speciality consists
in checking the ravages wrought by
the cereal aphis, but, due to the i'm
passable conditions of the roads, he
probably will be unable to make an
inspection tour of the valley.
In speaking of the aphis this morn
ing Mr.. Barrett said:
"Attempts at the elimination of
aphis must be made when the pests
make their initial appearance"
During the warm weather the fe-
male aphis appear in various portions
of field, where they propagate rap
idly. 1t is at this time, he declared,
that drastic measures must be applied
tc completely exterminate the rapid
ly growing colony. The application
of Black Leaf 40, nicotine mixture,
or the spreading of burning straw
were both effective, he declared.
According to Mr.. Waite, the barley
Imperial Valley press., 1915-02-11

trict attorney, expects to visit the
scene of the crime today in an effort
to secure further evidence.
Laino, according to the deputy dis
trict attorney, declares that during
the quarrel with O'Guin the rancher
menaced him with knife. Laino
.clutched a shovel handle and struck
the blow which later resulted in the
death of the raneher. The blow
crushed O'Guin's skull.
Laino, following the tragedy, was
arrested by Calexico officers and was
later given preliminary hearing on
a charge of assault and bound over
to the Superior court for trial.
Then came the death of O'Guin, Feb
ruary 4, and the charge of assault
became charge of murder. Subse-
euent investigation disclosed the fact
that O'Guin's knife, with which he
was alleged to have menaced the
Greek, was lying beside the injured
man.

receives tobacco from home. But some
of the cigars we received were ter
rible. They were so bad W ecOuld
not smoke them. So we threw them
over to the French, who eagerly gath
cred them in. They were so delight
ed that they gave US some cognac in
exchange. This was before they COM
menced to smoke the cigars. After
they had lighted them they got high
" indignant and commenced to fire
at us like mad.
"There were days when we had
nothing to smoke but dried tea leaves
and straw. Then again we have to-
bacco, but nothing to light our pipe
with. We are not permitted to have
fire in the trenches, for the smoke
would draw the enemy's fire. Matches
are very scarce and our electric flash
lights give light, but no fire. SO
one of my comrades has overcome this
difficulty by using a strong magnify
ing glass which he found in the pock-
eli of a French soldier killed in bat
tie. This works all right when the
sun is shining.
'At times cigars were so scarce we
had to throw dice in order to decide
how many puffs each one of us was
entitled to. | was unfortunate
enough to ge tonly three puffs."

Blood Drenched Argonne
Scene of Terrific Fighting

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE battle-scarre
Argonne region is again being
drenched with the blood of opposing
German and French soldiers. The Of
ficial communique of the war office
this afternoon tells of hard fighting
around Fort Marietherse. 1t says the
German losses are heavy, but also
admits that those of the French were
serious, though they hold their ground.
Champagne is another theatre of
fighting. The statement says the Ger
mans attacked the forest north of
Mesnille Hurlus, which recently was
captured by the French, but were
repulsed.

CASE IN CITY COURT
DRAWS LARGE CROWD

With the last juror selected at 1:45
this afternoon, the first testimony was
offered in the trial of M. Schlagar,
charged with disturbing the peace
That the case will be concluded before
late hour this afternoon is the opn-
ion of Attorney Wilson, for the de-
fense, and Attorney J. S.
Larew, who is conducting the
prosecution. A large crowd filled
the city recorders court at the begin
ming of the trial this morning, but
with the resumption of the case this
afternoon the number of spectators
had dwindled perceptibly.

aphis at this time are not appearing
in large numbers, which probably will
materially shorten the visit of the
aphis expert in the valley.
Within the next few days Curtis
c. Clawson, assistant entomologist Of
the Berkeley university, whose head
quarters are at Riverside, is expected
to arrive in the valley, where, accord
ing to his letter to the county horti-
cultural commissioner, he will take up
the study of the aphis in earnest. Mr..
Clawson in his letter stated that he
probably would arrive early in the
week, but according to F. w. Waite
he has been delayed by the recent
storms.

Many Turks Killed.

Cairo, Feb. 11.-Bodies littering the
battlefield east of the Suez canal bear
witness to the slaughter of Turkish
troops by English warships on the
canal in the recent conflict. The bod
les of dead Turks are everywhere, ac-
cording to officers who arrived to-
day.

The HurOus Side.

Berlin, Feb. 11.-Cigars and cigar
cites are the most highly valued ar
ticles at the front. In an interesting
letter, just received here, a German
soldier tells of a trade where he ex-
changed so cigarettes for a whole
steer. He writes:
"Most of our boys at the front are
inveterate smokers. They know the
value of a good weed. Sometimes a
good smoke will make you forget that
your stomach is empty.
"For the last two days | have been
srbsisting on bread and cigars. Our
field kitchen-the goulash gun, as we
call it-cannot come up to the battle
line, and SO we must live on what we
carry in our knapsacks. A heavy
black cigar will tide you over for a
day when there is nothing else to
chew.
"a few days ago we were all long
ing for some fresh meat There was
none for miles around. Suddenly a
Bavarian detachment came along, with
a whole drove of cattle. First they
refused to let US have any, but after
some bargaining they traded a fat
steer for fifty cigarettes.
Every soldier in our army is sup
piled with two cigars every day at
present Besides, almost everybody

leads close obserants of the German
military condition to believe Germany
realizes that she is facing the gravest
situation of the war. This feeling is
added to by a news agency dispatch
from Petrograd announcing that the
Germans have evacuated Lodz, Poland.
The news of the evacuation of LODI
is held as great event by sympa-
thizers with the allies.

Germany Faces Crisis.

Copenhagen, Feb. 11.-Private re-
ports from Berlin state that the Ger
mans have evacuated Insterburg, East
Prussia, and the inhabitants of that
city are fleeing in panic before the
Russian center. 1t is an important
manufacturing city of $4,000, thirty
five miles from the Russian frontier
and sixty miles from Koenigsburg.

Score List Makes It's
First Appearance Today
POPULAR CANDIDATES ENCOURAGED TO ENTER-MANY HAVE
CALLED UP FRIENDS OFFERING SUPPORT IN CASE
THEY DECIDE TO TRY TO WIN ONE OF THE PRIZES

The score list makes its first ap-
pearance today and, although only a
few have made any serious attempt
to win so far, they have met with the
most encouraging success and have
been surprised at the extent of inter
est shown by their friends. AS soon
as the names of those nominated ap-
peared the other day, several candi-
dates were called up on the telephone
by friends anxious to see them win,
and were promised vote coupons and
other support in case they decided to
make an effort to win the 81 400 prize
Oldsmobile, the $3.50 Kimball player
piano or one of the other handsome
prizes offered.
Subscriptions Coming In.
Subscriptions are coming in rapidly
for so early in a campaign of this ma
ture All who have tried have found
il easier than they supposed to get
subscriptions. One subscription a day
is good record, and if kept up every
day in the contest is certain to re-
suit in the winning of some prize. No
candidate will go out every day in the
contest and secure at least one new
subscription without building up a
large and enthusiastic following very
quickly. Although subscriptions may
rot come as rapidly as expected, at
first, those candidates who try now
will find many unsought subscriptions
volunteered to them later in the cam
paign.
An early start is half the victory.
The prizes are within the reach of all.
Candidates are not expected to 60
among strangers for subscriptions.
The easiest, as well as the most sue
cessful, way is to go only among
friends and acquaintance. Friends
and acquaintances, after giving their
subscriptions, continue to take an in
terest and help secure more of them
for the candidate they voted for
Strangers, although they may sub
scribe readily, seldom take further in
terest in the contestant voted for.
$500 Week for Someone.
Some candidate will be rewarded at
the rate Of about 5000 week from
now until April 3, and two others will
be rewarded at the rate of nearly $10t
a week. Few successful business mer
make as much. No one will fail tt
win something. There are man!
prizes, and cash commissions for thos'
who do not win prizes yet turn il
'S25 in new subscriptions during th'
progress of the campaign. 1t will pa,
to make an attempt. Many goo'
things in life are lost through lacl
of confidence and failure to attemp
to secure them.
$4,000 Extra Votes.
Candidates who start early will b
given an opportunity to gain bi

the whole rate structure, including
rates to intermediate points, be- re-
duced to meet water rates, the earn
ings of the railroads will be swept
away, unless some adjustments are
made, and great industries around
Chicago and the Mississippi valley
will have to lose their Pacific coast
customers or migrate to the Atlantic
seaboard.
In this situation, the commission de-
clares, it is necessary to lower the

competition without lowering rates to

"the shrinkage of rates via the canal

points presented by the railroads show
that under existing rates the railroads

With a few specific exceptions, the
decision permits reductions on long

The decision is on what is known
