Notes Of Inter
est to Workers =
of the Red Cross

The latest need of the local chapter
OF Red Cross Is a long table for the
use of the. surgical dressings COM
mittee. II any one has one they will
donate or loan they are asked to phone
t0he Red Cross rooms or Mrs. A. F..
Balch, chairman. Also old soft mus
Inns. table linens. or light colored
prints or cotton goods are greatly
and snippings for filling fracture pill
lows. These must be clean and are to
be sent TO the Red Cross rooms in the
library.
Any one wishing to help, on sewing
will find asleader in charge every after
noon except Wednesday. The leader
will show how every thing should be
DONE 1t ID necessary that all lines Of
work be kept up 50 the chapter is in
need of workers all the time.
OF late the chapter has been asked
why local boys in the service have not
received knitted articles, so a letter re-
ceived from the central division head
quarters in Chicago Is being used as an
explanation. The letter says that there
is a great demand for knitted arti-
cles, as the Red Cross Is asked to
supply our soldiers in France and
those about to sail, and in addition
constant requests are coming from
camps and environments in this country.
Every effort is being made to supply
the need from whatever source it may
come, therefore all chapters are asked
to continue knitting to the limit or
their capacity for several months to
come, as there is at present no danger
of an overproduction of knitted articles.
The national organization appreciates
the strength Of local sentiment, but at
the same time asks that chapters give
due consideration to the men OF the
United States forces as whole.
When chapters have endeavored to
distribute the finished articles they
have frequently duplicated the work OF
the national organization. They also
are not always posted on the exact
location OF the men whom they wish
to reach. Misdirected shipments have
caused confusion and delay resulting
in the articles not being put to use as
quickly as they would have been had
they been forwarded direct to the
bureau of supplies.
Field directors operating under the
bureau OF military relief have been
appointed and are established at each
camp and cantonment. These directors
are in daily touch with the division
bureau OF military relief, and are ad-
vIsed without delay of the exact need
that may exist among our men. This
fact should reassure chapters that
everything possible Is being done by
the national organization to handle the
Another interesting note in the letter
is I'd the effect that no new knitted ar
icles have been rejected because OF
difference in color and seize from STAN
dard instructions. When unsuitable
for military purposes they are used IN
civilian relief work.

JURY EA|lSn0 REACH
VERDICT AFTER TWENTY
HOURS OF DISCUSSION

After debating the merits of the
evidence in the Will Thomas burglary
case which was heard in the Superior
court yesterday, the jury failed to
agree and were discharged. The case
was Immediately reset for April II.
1t is understood that the jury stood
10 to 2 for conviction from the first
ballot.
District Attorney Nichols requested
that the case go to trial today, but
objections on the part of Attorney o.
v. Wilson for the defendant were sus-
tained.
The defense maintained that insult
ficient evidence had been adduced to
convict Thomas. In Thomas room at
the Star rooming house in Imperial
was found a quantity of clothing al
legged to have been stolen from a stor-
age room in the rear of the premises.
The proprietor of the lodging house
had provided this building for the stor-
age of trunks belonging to the guests.
Some time after the robbery is said
to have been committee, but before it
was discovered, the proprietor of the
Yooming house had occasion to unlock
the storage house and found two
trunks broken open. An investigation
followed and a number of articles
identified as belonging in the trunks
were found in the room occupied by
Thomas.
The defense maintained that the
discovery Of stolen goods in the pos
session of a person did not necessar-
lily brand him as a thief, and supreme
court decisions were cited to substan-
tate the contention.

Election in Mexicali Passes
Off Quietly With Jose
Cantu Congressman.

Apathy marked the national elec-
tion in Mexico Sunday, so far as the
territory of Baja California was con-
cerned.
In Mexicali the vote was extremely
light, and the electoral board, at the
close of the day, announced the choice
of Jose Cantu for congressional dele
gate from the territory.
The Mexican Congress will convene
in the capital on May 1. There are
two branches, similar to the American
Congress. ...
Consul Parades stated that there
was no doubt as to the result of the
election, since General Carranza, pres
idential candidate, was practically un-
opposed. In some of the state, he
said, there were evidences for some
time of the probability of lively con-
test over seats in Congress. The
elements of the contests, however, are
more personal than political in their
nature.
