unanimous verdict after deliberati IN
of thirty minutes.
The case had been on trial for four
days, and proved liberal education
10 the jury in the matter of the cot
ton industry in Imperial Valley and
the fortunes that have ben made there
One of the witnesses for the plaintiffs
was Joseph Spears, who is now a mil
lionaire from his cotton vestments.
Experts were mainly depended upon
in differentiatinS between good and
bad linters. Briefly, lintcrs are the
short fibres of the cotton seed and
are used by Barker Bros, and others
in the manufacture of mattresses. The
plaintiffs held that the defendants
should have taken all of the linters
under the contract instead of accept
ing the best and leaving the rest.
The defendants contenGeG that the
liners they would not take were
"mixed stuff" moi suitable for thsir
purpose. The depositions of govern

UNFAIR CAMPA|GN
STORY ANSWERED
BY BERT D. NOEL
To the People of Imperial County:

10 the People OF Imperial county:
My attention has been called 10 a
rumor, which, within The last few
hours, has become current on the
street, 10 the effect that | am either
an infidel or an atheist. Upon first
learning of the existence Of this ru-
NOR, l was inclined to treat the mat
Ter lightly, regarding it as too pre-
posterous to appeal to any one, but
citizens have urGed me
TO make a statement in regard TO This
rumor, and l therefore beg to say
that any such rumor is absolutely
false.
am one of eight sons of my
fathers house, and neither myself
nor any one related 10 me- either by
blood or marriage, is either an inf
del or an atheist. For number OF
years l was a member Of the Phila-
delphia Baptist church at Leeds, Kan.
and an active worker in the Sunday
School of said church, and was for
three years president of The Baptist
Young Peoples Union, but since com
ing west | have never identified my
self with any church organization
but have made financial contribution
to various religious movements.
Again l say that the report That
am either an infidel or an atheist
is absolutely without any foundation
wha tsoever.
In conclusion, | wish to say thai
do not wish 10 be understood as
charging, or even intimat;ng, that my
opponent is responsible fol this ru-
NOR, but it frequently happens lhat
radical and over-zealous supporters
of candidate will make unwarran'-
ed statements of such character, and
in such instances of course it is not
jusl 10 impute such statements 10 the
candidae himself 1t is cutie within
the bounds of possibility that over
Jealous supporters of myself, have,
without consulting me, made unwal =
ranted remarks about my opponent
but l wish TO say, with all The en-
phasis al my command, that l will
not stand sponsor for any derogatory
statements about my opponent.
Since coming to this community
have earnestl endeavored to earn q
reputation for square dealing and as
a man whose word is good, and be-
lieve | have established such reputa-
lion among those who know and have
dealt with me, and upon such reputa-
ton as l have, l submit the above
statement. Respectfully,

cluded:

going to defend their territory they
must divide their remaining forces
between The western front and the

dent Wilson, namely TO render il mn
possible for the enemy to recommence
the war and 10 prevent hir profitinE
by the armistice to withdraw from
difficult military situation.
The greatest Importance attachinS
ito the daring movement conceived by
General Diaz is his success in sep
arating the Austrian army occupying
the Monte Grappa and Trentino re-
gions from hat. on the Venetian
plain, and simultaneously threaten
ing Austrian contingents holdins a
section southeast of the piave, which
may be cut off by the Italians adj
Ivancing toward Pordnone.
+ The Italians have destroyed the
Austrian superdreadnaught Veribus
Units, according 10 an official dis
patch.
An official Rome dispatch says:
''The Italian. victory is hourly as
suming such proportions that any
kind of indulsence toward an enemy
which up to The last minute of his
dominion Instituted our brethren, dew
astated lands and fought with lhe I'll
most barbariiy, would be crime"
The Auslrians fleeing from Udine,

ported TO have abandoned great

Austrian armies has continued apacc
along front of 25 miles.
! The American first army has con-
tinued its offensive ahead of sched
ule and is continuing its advance de
spite increasingly heavy enemy fire.
Considering the masnitude of The op-
eration, the American losses are
small and the indications are thai
he German casualties are unusually
heavy. Prisoners report that Aus
trian forces in The Woevre region
are entraining for Austria.
