EVIDENCE ALL
SUBMITTED
TO JURY

Arguments were begun this after
noon in the Nose Richardson murder
trial and it is expected that the mat
ter will be submitted to the jury late
today.
Richardson, accused of killing his
wife, Nina Richardson, on the after
noon of March 13, in the home of
Nancy Smith, occupied the stand this
morning and repeated details of the
killing.
Richardson stated that he was
working about his house on the aft
elnoon of March Is and was there
when the Smith woman called for
his wife, the two going to the Smith
cottage about one block distant from
the Richardson house. After a con-
siderable time had elapsed, Richard
son said that he went to the Smith
house and demanded to know if his
wife was there. He said that Mrs.
Smith told him that she was not, but
Richardson declared that he had
poeped through the front window and
saw Rube Tippens and his wife on the
bed.
Richardson said that he pushed Mrs.
Smith aside and passed through the
kitchen to the bedroom and began
shooting with no particular person
in view. One bullet entered the head
of his wife and another went through
the cheek of Nancy Smith. Another
bullet plowed a groove in the top of
Tippens' head and with no more cart
ridges in the weapon Richardson and
tippens engaged in a hand-to-hand
combat, Tippens finally eluding his
assailant and escaping. Upon the
arrival of officers, Richardson gave
himself into custody. Attorney Sey-
nour is representing the defendant
The case was enlivened this morn
ing, when an aged negro was called
OF to take the witness stand for the
defense. The old man insisted on
kneeling and praying before answer
ing the interrogations. His prayer
consisted chiefly of appeals to God
to have mercy on Nose Richardson.
The witness also sought the aid Of the
judge, jury and attorneys on behalf
OF his friend Nose.

Appropriation for Mainte-

Bureau Is Exhausted.

With the appropriation for the
maintenance of the Imperial Valley
Information Bureau in Los Angeles
exhausted, it will be necessary for
the county supervisors. the Ell Centre
Gambler Of Commerce and the business
men of Los Angeles to devise ways
and means of providing additional
funds in order that the office may be
kept open.
That the office was of great value
to the Valley is not to be disputed
and that it's discontinuance would be
a misfortune is also without argu-
ment. When A. M. Nelson, in charge
of the Los Angeles office, returned
to the Valley recently, the informa-
ton bureau was not closed, but re-
mained open pending other arrange
n;ents. 1t is expected that the super
visors will take some action at their
next meeting, as many business men
OF Los Angeles have entered protests
over the proposed closing of the bu-

TO DISCUSS FORMING
COUNTY CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE THURSDAY

Both the Brawley Chamber of Com

Club have written the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce that their di-
rectors and officers would attend the
meeting at the Barbara Worth hotel
next Thursday night to discuss the
organization of county chamber of
commerce. Replies from other VAL
ley civic organizations are expected.
The meeting was called by the To-
cal chamber at the suggestion of the
Brawlsy Chamber of Commerce and
is expected to prove interesting. The
plan suggested is to form a county
body which will be prepared to take
charge of the big things that affect
the entire valley and in this way ap-
portion the expense to the various
towns, instead of requiring the local
chambers to pay the entire bill in
each case.

PRESIDENT GETTING
IMPATIENT RESULT
CONGRESS- TACTICS
(By UniteA Press)

Washington, May 15.-President
Wilson's advisers say that he is out
of patience with Congress dilatory tao
tics during the past SIX weeks and
plans to use the whip. A series of
conferences has been arranged with
the leaders of both parties as the first
move to speed up congressional action.
The army staff is said to be in ia
vor of a veto for the army bill as it
now stands, but it has been pointed
ont that the president is not compelled
to authorize the volunteer divisions.
1t is probable that army officers will
urge that no volunteers be picked un-
til after the million six hundred thou
sand men have been secured under the
selective draft.
The .conferees will report their
agreement in both Houses today.
These are expected to quickly con-
cur so the measure can go to Presi-
dent Wilson tomorrow.

One of Show Places of

Within very short distance from
Harold Bell Wright's famous ranch,

world-famed stories, in cluding "The
Winning Of Barbara WORTH" which
is story of the reclamation of I'm
Ierial Valley, there is developing
larger ranch which is destined, per-
haps, to become just as famous; not
because of the literary ability of the
owner, but because of the ability to
produce vegetables, the like of which
are a surprise and delight to the peo-

pleasure and profit to the trade.

controls and manages a big LOO

Why it is called the Ranch of the
Golden Smile, but, judging from the
great fields of onions, lettuce, pota-
toes, strawberries, ETC., which are now
growing, and the general market con-
ditions, it seems evident that Mr.. XII
rlura has very appropriately named
his vast field The Ranch of the Gold

On the Ranch of The Golden Smile
the hum of industry is at it's height.

The crops for the present season, still
in the ground, are in excellent con-

already contracted, and others await
ing the time when Mr.. Kimura will
state that he is ready to sell. The
facilities and equipment of this prop
erty are strictly scientific and up-to-
cate. There are great tractors which.
operated by one man, can easily plow
ten acres a day. Motor trucks handle
the crops quickly from the ranch to
