Imperial Valley press., 1916-12-22

With all the evidence having been
concluded yesterday afternoon, argu-
ments were Immediately started.
Deputy District Attorney E. R. ST.
mon made the opening address and in
a dispassionate but clear manner laid
the circumstantial evidence before the
jurors. Step by step he unrolled the
volume of circumstances by which
the state expects to bring about the
conviction of B. C. Lytle, who is
charged with twice attempting to dis
figure Thomas Potts, the Holtville
druggist.
The session this morning was CIV
en- over to flood of oratory from
the lips of Joseph F. Seymour, Jr.,
who, together with James w. Glass
ford, formed the legal battery to pro-
tect the interests of their client. Mr..
Seymour bitterly attacked some allie
cations of the prosecution, ridiculing
many statements and hurling vitriolic
invective on the state for attacks on
the character of Mrs. Lytle.
The court attaches believe that the
case will get to the jury today and
with Sunday and Christmas follow
ing it is expected that some kind Of
a return will be made before Christ
mas.
Attorney James w. Glassford and
District Attorney Galen Nichols have
yet to present arguments, but neither
one is noted for lengthy talks to a
jury.
Those who have followed the cele-
brated case from start to about its
conclusion are Of the opinion that the
prosecution has played up all of the
circumstantial evidence to the best Of
their ability and that if conviction
does not ensue it will not be due to
lack of effort on the part Of the dis
trict attorneys office.
On the other hand, Attorneys Glass
ford and Seymour, for the defense,
have been Industrious throughout the
case. They took advantage Of prac-
t:cally every technicality as to objec-
tions and produced several competent
witnesses. The case was started in
the Superior court on December II,
hut was discontinued for three days
on account of the illness of Juror
Elmore. There have been longer tri-
ais in Imperial county, but it is not
believed that one of greater interest
than this has engaged attention of a
crowded courtroom.

Enthusiastic =

I'VE can tell them how to get there.
We can also tell them what to see
now" said Albert P. Taylor, secre-
tary of the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee, today in talking on the trip
to Kauai made by the committee last
week. THE committee now has an
idea of all of the beauties of the
islands and the island visits have
been a great help to the members in
handling the work. =
Kauai has the good roads fever in
every respect and the citizens OF the
Gan den Island are to be congratulated
for their stand in boosting for I'M
proved road conditions. Instead q
the rutty roads we found many of the
highways that would RIVAL the best on
the mainland. The roads to Waimea,
Hanalei and Lihue are unsurpassed
and the people of Kauai are plannip 6
on extending the road to the Barking
Sands. ....... f."

will some day be better known to the
tourists. With long, sandy beach,
clear water and not a suspicion of
coral, it is certain to take its
place with the famous bathing beaches
of the world. This is an ideal place
for GUNNER outing.

Members Of the Hawaii Promotion
Committee urged the Kauai Chamber
of Commerce to be active in working
for the tourist trade to Kauai, and as
the members on the Garden Island are
all boosters, it is certain that Kauai
will become a great tourist center.
AItogethr the work in building up is
progressing, and whence once the
steamship landings are complete the
Kauai people will be satisfied.
Chairman Emil Berndt made one
of the. best promotion talks before
the Kauia Chamber of Commerce that
has ever been presented in Hawaii.
He explained the idea of promotion
and stated how the people could work
to give the tourists satisfaction. His
address was made in an enlightenipg
and forecful manner. -
when any point comes up during
the meetings in regard to one of the
islands the members will not have a
hazy idea, as before, but can handle
the subject in an intelligent manner.
Now that we have made trip to all
of the islands. the work In promotion
will surely be improved, he con-
cluded.

''The value of this spirit of team work in the factory and it's effect on the selling field cannot be we'll esti- mated in terms of dollars and cents. In the old days the men on the firing line used to have the feeling that they carried bigger share of the burden in disposing of the company's output; on the other hand the men in the factory were firmly convinced that the cars sold themselves after they left the fac tory and that the greater credit was in the, building and not in the dispos- ing of the line. Nowadays, however, the field forces have come to realize that the skilled workman not only builds his belief into the cars, but is ager that every little detail for which he is responsible shall leave the fac tory 100 per cent, perfect. To the field forces this has meant the elinni- nation. of numb berless slight annoy ances in the finished product and it has made his work in the field pleas anter and more easily profitable.
 "The result is a harmonious action between the two great vital forces that make an organization permanently successful Best of all, the reflection tory and field force has permeated to the public so that today throughout the country there is a general belief that while Oakland has in years past built more expensive ears, the factory has never built cars as good as at the present time."

Oakland Manager Shows Value of
 Personal Element
BY FRED W. WARNER,
 Oakland Manager,

"A broad experience of many years on the firing line before I as- sumed additional responsibilities of factory management thoroughly inn pressed me with the necessity of CO., operation between factory and firing line in establishing and holding popu- lar prestige for any manufacturing product
 Consequently it has been the con- stant aim of Oakland management from the highest executive down to the foremen of a minor department to drill into the men the fact that the permanent success of an organization is due not to the executive ability of any one man or one set of men, but to. the individual ability of every workman whose skill goes into the building of the product as a whole.
 A part of this system is the ar rangement of periodical factory meet ings for the foremen of the various departments of the factory. In these meetings each man is encouraged to take an active part and to discuss his problems, and make individual sug- gest1ons without fe rorfavor. As a result these meetings have developed into experience talks, and an inter change of ideas that have been of great benefit to the organization as a working unit.
 t'As an instance of how this plan has worked out for the benefit of the product as whole, let me cite our policy in regard to the problem of what is known in a factory par1ance as turnbacks,' which for some req son of defect have not passed final inspection. A scratched fender or leak in a radiator may often hold up carload shipment of cars, or a "bone-head play on the part of some workman, which has escaped the eagle eye of the foreman, may often cause the laying off of number of men in the department for a day or

Three Is Not A
 Crowd In Newport
 National Roadster

The old adage that two is company and three is a crowd does not apply to the new Newport Six roadster just built by. the National Motor Vehicle Go, Indianapolis, and sold by the Elm Auto. Go, of this city.
 This roadster not only has new snappy and distinguished body lines, but has a unique arrangement which provides three individual arm chair seats. There is an aisIeway between the two front, seats, making easy ac- cess to the third or rear seat.
 The three passengers are cozify and comfortably housed in such a, posi- ton that they can easily carry on a conversation, but are in no sense crowded. When the third passenger is not in the rear seat, the car has the sappearance of a regular roadster, there being no conspicuous empty seat. The popularity of this new type of car is evidenced by the vast number of orders which were instantaneous as soon as the public became acquaint- ed with this new creation. It is often equipped with wire wheels, and in the fashionable social centers of the East the debutantes have nick-named rid ing in this new car ttthFee-sorne mo- toring. This model will be on exhi- bition at the auto show either in Highway or Newport models. It was one of the biggest hits at the New York show.
