PEACE NOTE Is
HANDED TO
NATIONS
(By United Press)

Washington, Dec. 14.-Within a few
hours after the receipt of Germany's
official text, Secretary Lansing, at
President Wilson's order, dispatched
it to London, Paris, Pctrograd and
Toxic; also to the provisional capitals
ol Kumanis, Serbia and belgium. He
se.t It without suggestions or COM
ment.
1t is learned that the administra
ton has instituted series of 'con-
fidential soundings" in the belligerent
capitals to determine the various gov
ernments disposition toward the peace
consideration.
The German peace proposals
reached the state department through
Charge Grew of the American en-
bassy. Berlin transmitted it with a
note of confidential memorandum for
the guidance of President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing in handling the
peace note. The text is to all intents
identical with the early press dis
patches.

MILLIONS OF CIGARETTES
FOR NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
(By United Press)

FL Paso, Tex, Dec. 14.-Lucy Page
CASTOR, the famous anti-cigarette
crusader, take notice:
Next after rations and shelter, it
appears from statistics compiled here
that cigarettes are necessity to the
smooth operations of the modern war
n'achine.
During the past month more than
100000 cigarettes were smoked by
the $4,000 guardsmen and regulars in
this district. The average consump-
ton is slightly more than four and
ore-half pills" a day for each SOL
der. And the one-half doesn't mean
butts, either.
In addition to this, the soldiers
burned tens of thousands of packages
of sack tobacco, cigars and masticated
about ton of "chawin' tobacco"
Due to the inconvenience of car
rying pipe while in service uniform,
soldiers who in civilian life were dew
otees of the pipe are fast turning to
the convenient cigarette.

RAISED
Grand Jury to Meet TomOr.
rOw-May Recommend
One More Judge.

The grand jury will meet tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock and will con-
tinue in session until some matters
of Importance are disposed of.
Among those believed to be on the
program is that affecting the salary
of the superior judge Of this county.
Under the organization charter of I'm
rerial county the salary allowed Judge
Cole is $4,000, while other counties
i'll the state, with less court work, are
paying from $4,000 to $4,000.
1t is said that the grand jury will
recommend to the state legislature
that the Imperial county judgeship be
Paid along proportionate lines. 1t is
also claimed that attention will be
given an additional judge for Imper-
ial county. 1t is very likely that if
the grand jury makes this recommen-
dation that provision will be made for
another superior judge.

uersations Bet.veen Defendant and Sherifs Force in
Which Lytle Submits Reasons Why He Should Not Be
Thougit Guilty; Directs Officers Attention Ward.

In conversations held with Lytle
shortly after the first acid attempt
the witness said that Lytle had told
him that it would have been impos-
sible for him Uytle) to have done
it, as he had been drinking that day,
going home early and sleeping so
soundly that it required a vigorous
shaking at the hands Of Herbert Sny-
der to awaken him.
On the second occasion Lytle is said
to have told Cummings that ''he was
sure Ward must have done it or hired
someone to do it." Ward is alleged
to have been suitor fox the hand
of Miss Cecle Smith, to whom Potts
IS engaged.

YOUNG MAN SENDS
BULLET THRU BRAIN

Apparently worried over financial
troubles brought about by the ampu-
tation of his left leg two years ago,
Wilbur w. Stokely, aged "a, shot
himself in the temple late yesterday
afternoon, dying almost instantly, his
body being found along the road near
the Stillens ranch two miles west of
Ell Centro.
Stokely was in Ell Centre yesterday
afternoon, returning home at 2:30, at
which time he wrote note explain
ing his reasons for committing sui
eide. The note was found with the
body.
Stokely said in the note that he had
lived twenty-four years and couldn't
say he was glad to be permitted to be
Gil earth that long. He only saw
shadows in the future.
About two years ago the deceased
had his left leg amputated, suffering
overwhelmingly at the time and after
wards. He finally recovered and re-
gained a spirit of cheerfulness. This
condition was augmented by inspiring
letters from his sweetheart. Even
as late as yesterday morning he talked
over the phone to his sister, Mrs. Hoyt
Mccarthy, and appeared in good cheer.
He promised to visit her that evening,
but with twilight approaching sad
ness returned and he took his own
life.
Although handicapped, Stokely
worked diligently day and night to
make his way in the world. A little
over two weeks ago he went to San
Francisco, where he visited his sweet
heart. Nine happy days he spent with
his bride-to-be and one his departure
he sealed the troth with ring anc
she gave him a Bible, the same beng
found in his pocket at the time of his
tragic death.
Stokely kept a diary of the happy
days spent with his sweetheart, the
lines portraying keen joy of llvinf
and exuding hope for the future. lheA

WAREHOUSE WILL
COST $4,000 TO
Be ERECTED FOR
OH. T|MMONSCO.
Pioneer Transfer Company
to Have Fine Building
Near Tracks.
w. N. ANDERSON TO
ERECT BUILDING
Building Will Have Capacity
of 1000 Square Feet
and Fireproof.

One of the finest storage ware
houses in Southern California will be
erected in Ell Centro, according to
D. H. Timmons, of the Pioneer Trans
fer Company, who announced this
morning that his firm had just signed
a ten years lease with Contractor w.
N. Anderson, who will erect $4,000
building on his property east Of the
Southern Pacific tracks.
Mr.. Timmons states that the ware
house will be built entirely of rein
forced concrete and structural iron,
not an ounce of wood being used in
the construction. The building will
have capacity Of 1000 square feet
of storage room. The plans of the
structure call for private storage
rooms, in which the furniture and
household effects of an entire house
can be kept separate from the general
storage goods. In this way the own
or can have immediate access to his
goods without having to wait for
other goods to be moved.
Every modern idea will be incorpo-
rated in the building. Although the
construction will be absolutely fire
proof, fire fighting facilities will be
included as precaution should a
llaze start in the goods stored. In
order that there will never be any
need for the use of lantern or lamp or
the striking of match for light, a
complete system of electric lights will
be feature.
The location of the new warehouse
will be Just south and east of the
Globe Milling Company's plant on the
east Of the Southern Pacific tracks
Construction will be started within a
few days, it is said.

Eureka, Dec. 14.-The submarine
H-3 ran aground just outside Hum
bcldt bay today. Fear is felt for the
safety of officers and crew. Appar-
ently the vessel grounded during a
