IS NAMED AS
BORDER CONSUL AGENT
KE7TNER WIRES TO
CALEX|CO THAT ONE
HAS BEEN CHOSEN

The United States will have an ac-
credited representative at Mexicali,
an appointeee of the Department of
State, in the person of frederick
Simpich, who will arrive within the
next few days and assume his duties
at once.
A telegram from Congressman
Kettner bringing the information was
received late yesterday in Calexico,
setting at rest the rumors that per-
sons whose interests lie across the
border line were about to check the
plan through pressure being exerted
at the national capital.
Mr.. Simpich is the American con-
sui at Nogales. The telegram an
nounced that his transfer to
Mexicali had been ordered, to
take effect at once. The mes
sage also added that Mr.. Simpich
had been selected for his efficiency
and ability, and that he was consid-
cred one Of the ablest men in the con-
sular service. He is experienced in
handling big affairs and acts with
fearlessness and absolute fairness.
The fact that an "outside man" has
been chosen is especially pleasing to
the cotton growers, who, all along,
have emphasized the need of a rep
resentative who had no interest in
the Valley, or any portion of it, other
than to administer his duties with an
eye to the interests of the greatest
number.
Whether Mr.. Simpich will be known
as regular consul, or whether he
will be a consular representative or
agent, will not be known until his ar
rival here. In either case, he will
have power to represent the govern
ment in dealing with the Mexican au-
thorities.
No further steps will be taken to
secure relief or make arrangements
for the coming year until Mr.. Sim
pich comes and takes up his duties.
All the American growers express a
willingness to leave matters entire
ly in his hands.

Brawley Loses Second Place.

In a game replete with hits, runs
and errors, Brawley surrendered sec
ond place to Holtville yesterday, which
took the long end of an to 2 score.
As usual, it is the same old story of
one bad inning-the fourth. Johnson
of Holtville started the innings by
getting to the first station on an err
ror, and then the Holtville team
started, and when the third out was
made every man on the Holtville team
had faced Patterson once and the
score stood 6 to 1. Baths home run
in the fifth over the right field fence,
with Brazleton looking longingly aft
er it, and Hills run in the ninth, COM
pleted Holtville's scoring. In the
eighth inning Brawley seemed to have
a faint chance to bring the game out
after Moffett, with two down, walked
three men in succession, filling the
bases, but one run was all that came
over.
The loss of Pepper, who has accept
ed place with the Wells-Fargo Ex-
press Company at Cotton, seems to
leave a mysterious something lacking
for although West caught fairly
good game yesterday, yet the steady
ing effect for which Pepper has been
favorably commented on in every town
in the league was absent.
Owing to the fact that Lewis Ivy.
the umpire assigned by the league
officials, did not show up, the indi-
Gator was handled by the popular
young dentist of Brawley, DR.. Nor

TOLDEN CLAIMS He
SHOT TO SAVE SELF

On December II William M. Toll
den, negro, shot and killed Frank Ap-
person, another negro, in Imperial,
and Tolden is now being tried in the
Superior court for the crime.
The defense, represented by Attor-
new Joseph F. Seymour, Jr., claims
the act was done in self-defense.
A jury was quickly selected, the
people being represented by District
Attorney Galen Nichols and Deputy
E. R. Simon. Two witnesses. were ex-
amined this morning.
On the night of the 18th Tolden and
were in barber shop on
Ninth streets and without many
words they started for the street, Toll
den whipping out revolver and send
ing three bullets into Apperson's body.
Tolden is alleged to have declared that
Apperson disrupted his family rela-
tions and that he believed Apperson
was about to draw when he fired.

Westsiders Go Down by a
Score of 6 to @ in a
Fast Game.
League Standing.

Classy pitching by Priest and the
patched-up Seeley team enabled the
locals to shut ou the visitors here
yesterday, the score being 6 to 0.
Priest allowed only four hits,
famed ten and gave three bases on
balls. Adams did not pitch a bad
game, at that, for Seeley, striking
out eight
Owing to illness, it was necessary
for Seeley to pick three players from
the grounds in order that the specta-
tors might not be disappointed. Kep-
ley slammed out a triple with Baker
and Priest each making two-base hits.
Hardcastle, for Seeley, cracked out
one that was good for two bases, ex-
|cept in the ninth inning, did the visi-
tors get more than one hit to the inn
ing.
The locals gathered in a run in the
first, two in the fifth and three in the
final frame. Seeley made three err
rors, while Ell Centre went them bet
ter and five were chalked up against
them. Rube Gardner umpired; the
game being short, requiring an hour
and forty-five minutes to complete the
mine innings.

PLAN NEUTRAL
CODE THAT WILL
PROTECT FROM A
CASE
North and South America
Join Together to Assert
the Neutral Rights.
TO DISCUSS CASE
ON NEUTRAL BASE
Movement Has Approval of
the President-TO Meet
on January 22nd.
(Bv United Press)

Washington, Jan. 8.-A new inter-
national code to protect "liberty of
neutrals" is being arranged for North
and South American experts, Presi-
dent Wilson lauding the originators.
It means the formulating of new
principles to be discussed at a meeting
of international lawyers in Havana
soon. German summarizing and Brit
ish commercial interference are re-
ported as the main reasons behind the
move. The new code is to endeavor
to make it impossible to have another
Lusitania case, involving neutrals, and
will treat the subject of neutrality
from the standpoint of neutrals. De-
tails are withheld pending meeting
on January %.

PICKING DONE
BY april OVER
in OLD MEXICO
Nearly $4,000 Bales Have
Been Ginned So Far in
CalexicO-MeXicali.

Up to the close of business last
night the Globe Mills in Mexicali had
ginned 1890 bales of cotton, which,
is is estimated, is about two-thirds
of the 1917 crop grown on the Mexi-
can side of the line.
At the compress in Calexico $1,000
bales have been ginned to date, and
last night the compress yards con-
tanned 15,6OO bales. The total num-
ber ginned at Calexico and Mexicali
to date is 47,4OO. Since the estimates
made few weeks ago placed the to-
tai of this years crop in the I'M
perial Valley at $4,000 bales, approx
imately three-fourths of the ginning
is done. Little baled cotton was on
hand at the Globe, which sends its
product to the Calexico compress to
be baled.
1t is believed picking in Mexico will
be completed about the last of April.
By that time some of the spring plant
ing will have been done, the amount
upon the weather condi-
tions. The absence of rains at this
season is favorable to the growers,
who are crowding the picking as fast
as possible.
Labor conditions, it is said, are bet
ter than at any time since this years
picking began.

Graham, in charge of the work for
the contractors.
At this time there is a distance Of
1,5OO feet to complete, but this will
be finished within a few days. 1t re-
quires some further time to water and
prepare the paving for travel.
Ell Centro people are enthused over
the contemplation of the completion
of a splendid highway connecting this
city with the mountains. There will
be no more dreary sand ruts to en-
counter, making it pleasure to mo-
tor to the mountains and thence to
San Diego.
1t is proposed to make the opening
day gala one and it is quite possible
that the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce will arrange celebration in
honor of the event.

Five-sixths of the stock of the Cali
