Hindu Rancher for the
Third Time Faces Judg-
ment for Alleged Murder
of Partners.

With but comparatively short ar
guments from the opposing attorneys,
the trial of the charge of murder
against Khair Din came to an end this
afternoon, when the case was submit
ted to the jury. =
The last witness left the stand at
II o'clock and Special Prosecutor
James w. Glassford began the open
ing argument for the prosecution. He
spoke but twenty minutes, marshaling
the high points of the testimony and
daGlefinG that it had been proved be-
X66da LAY 5peradventure of doubt that
Nar Was guilty of murder in the

~ tEsas understood that the prosecu
fRn ewould not insist upon the death
penalty, regarding this move for the
extreme penalty as impossible i'm
the face of the declarations of nearly
half of the jurymen that they were
opposed to capital punishment.
While the prosecutions attorneys
predicted that verdict of guilty
would be reached. the defense was
sanguine of the results. Attorney O..
V. Wilson, on whose shoulders the
chief work Of the defense resttd, stat
ed that he expected hung jury.
District Attorney E. R. Simon made
the closing address for the prosecu-
tion in rebuttal of the arguments of
the defense. He declared that the
evidence and testimony introduced
formed complete case and covered
every point surrounding the murder.
For the defense, Attorney Wilson
said that the murder of the two Hin
du partners of Khair Din was the
climax of an Oriental feud, which he
likened to tong war, and laid the
killings at the doors of faction
which hated the men. He insisted
that this faction that prepared a
frameup on Khair Din.
The defendants alleged flight into
Mexico, which preceded his arrest at
Ensenada, he described as being a
trim to marry Mexican girl.
The trial Just closing is the third
in which hKair Din has been compelled
to battle for his freedom on murder
charges. At the first trial he was
acquitted and the second resulted in
a hung jury.

Information Is r e c eived
That a Large Supply of
Workers Awaits the Call
of the Valley.

An almost unlimited number of
workers is available for immediate
employment on the ranches of Impe-
rial Valley if housing facilities can
be provided for them.
This is the information reaching
County Development Agent Don c.
Bitler from President Bryant of the
Los Angeles Half Century Associa-
ton.
In this aggregation of war workers,
many Of them retired persons who
have patriotically offered their time
that the nations cause mighmt be aid
ed, are about 200 women, al lagear
to become cotton pickers or ranch as
sistants.
"I have been. assured that almost
all the labor we need here can be
furnished at the moment housing ia
cilities have been arranged" said Mr..
Bitter. "Unless we act quick we
may lose hundreds of these people. as
many other sections are also short
handed"
A pleasant called at the court house
today was V. U. Simpson, a retired
banker of Anaheim, who is in charge
of the squad of war workers sent to
Imperial Valley about week ago by
the Half Century organization. He
reports that the men are taking read
lily to the outdoor life and new work
and are accomplishing good results.
The benefits derived also seem to
work the order way, for the squad
is w. H. Davenport, wealthy Pasa-
denan, who came to the Valley just
a few days ago to visit with his broth
err, a member of the original detach-
ment.
Mr.. Davenport became so enamored
of the outdoor life that he Joined the
squad and has been picking cotton
daily though he is n years old. He
has grown so proficient that he is
picking about 200 pounds daily. When
he came to the Valley he was suffer-
ing from Indigestion. Today he can
eat anything, sleeps well and never
felt better, he says.

That many thousands who next
Saturday will witness the Liberty
Loan parade here, will be more than
pleased with what they see, is at
tested by the new requests received
each day by the committee in charge
from various business firms and or
ganizations for positions in the pa
rade.
Already more than thirty floats
have been promised and it is antici-
pated that this number will be in
creased.
A notable feature of the parade will
be the representation of the various

there are score or more. 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 women will grace
this section of the Liberty parade.

BEGIN PROBE OF
SUPPOSED FRAUD
IN SALE OF OIL

Charging that a gigantic conspir-
acy has been organized for the pur-
pose of defrauding motorists in the
sale of gasoline and distillate, Chas.
G.. Johnson, state superintendent Of
weights and measurese, has written to
Ell Centre stating that the officers
of his department have begun an in
vestigation of the alleged fraud. His
letter to representatives Of his de-
parment, which is of interest to all
automobile owners, is in part as fol-
lows:
"Since the inception of this edpart-
ment there have been constant COM
paints over the substitution of eds
tillate" for straight refined gaso-
line" During the last three months
these complaints have been much
more numerous and much evidence
has been obtained establishing the
fact that the practice of substitution
is becoming very common.
"The straight gasoline has COM
mercial market value of approximate
ly 21c per gallon, while distillate sells
at 12c. The sale, therefore, of ''com-
pounded gasoline" under the represen-
tation that it is straight refined gas
oline and at the price of gasoline con-
stitutes vicious violation of law and
principle. N3ES vi
"From the complaints | believe that
the public is being swindled out of
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually by this deception. The honest
and legitimate dealers are being driv-
en- out of business and standards of
quality maintained by reputable re-
finers are being abused Their ap-
peal for relief to this department de-
mands our immediate and serious at
tention.
"Upon the receipt of these instruc-
tions you will make careful inves-
tigation Of all service stations in your
jurisdiction, ascertain if gasoline and

dities are stored, and if any circum-

With the campaign little more

worth of the bonds of the Fourth Lib

issued this afternoon by Campaign
Chairman O. G. Horne.
In the statement Mr.. Horne sound
ed note of warning against the pub
lie paying too much attention to the
peace negotiations asked for by the
Germanic allies, Germany, Austria
and Turkey. He said:
"Don't think the war is over
Don't think that Germany, in her des-
perate position won't try every low,
deceitful means to save herself.
Germany would rather hear that
the Fourth Liberty Loan had failed
than win battle. 1t would mean
that the American people aer not SOL
idly behind the war.
"There was never a Liberty Loan
so important as this one. There was
never time that another big Jolt
from the American people would do
such effective work in bringing Ger
many to her knees.
"Don't be overconfident. Germany
hasn't surrendered and Uncle Sam

able that the Germans will halt until
they reach the Aisne. The Americans
have aided materially in explelling the

tain. The Americans are geathering

Washington, Oct. 7.-Senator Nc.
Cumber introduced resolution in the
Senate providing that before an ar
mistice be granted Germany disband
her army, surrenedr her navy, agree
to indemnify the devastated countries
and restore Alsace-Lorraine to
France.
Chairman Hitchcock of the Foreign
Relations committee declared "abhor-
rent even the thought of suspension
of hostilities and recommended an ad-
-ditiae ta2she presidents peace pfinci-
pies of one providing that the Allies
deal only with the real representa-
tives of the German people.
Senator Lodge declared that an ar
mistiie would mean Gloss of the war
and all we fought for" and said that
Germany merely proposed long
peace debate.
Developments indicated prompt
and decisive reply to Germany's latest
peace proposal. The president re-
manned secluded today. Germany's
note was delivered to the president
personally by an attache of the Swiss
legation and created the impression
that il, came from Emperor William
himself. Minister Ekengren of Swe-
den presented Austrian Foreign Min
ister Burian's reply to Secretary Lam
sing. The indications are that if Ger
many seeks negotiation" involving
diplomatic qubblings, the offer will
fall flat. If Germany actually and
unreservedly accepts the principles
named by the president and accepted
by the Allies, the way to peace is open
with the withdrawal of all German
troops from invaded territory as the
first requirement. Both Teuton COM
munications ask the president to ar
range an armistice for peace negoti-
ations on the conditions he named pre-
viously.
1t is reported. in Rome that Austria
recently insisted that the Vatican I'M
dertake peace steps. According to
Havas dispatch the Vatican has re-
jected the demand.
In London high foreign diplomatists
believe that no armistice will be
granted before the Teutons complete
ly evacuate Allied territory.
London newspapers reflect distrust
Of Germany's peace proposal. The
Mail says there are no words Of re-
pentance "for the crimes which Ger
many has committed" in Maximil-
ian's speech. "What President Wilson
and the Allies require is embodied in
the words unconditional surrender
Germans must evacuate all territory
occupied, restore property they have
stolen, pay all damage done and sur
render for trial by the Allies the great
criminals of the war" The Mail says
there are 500 of these, beginning with
the Kaiser.

patches show that Austrian newspa-
pers are filled with hope for the sue
cess of the Teuton peace movement.
