firmation of the report that Nikola
Lenine, Bolshevik premier, has pro-

appealing to women to volunteer for

VENUE IS
To
DIN
Fourth Trial Will Be Heard
in San Diego Courts-MO-
ti0n Granted Today Ends
Case for Imperial County.

The motion for change of venue
for the fourth trial of Khair Din,
alleged murderer, submitted by
Attorney o. V. Wilson for the
defendant at l: 80 today, was
granted one hour later by Judge
Franklin J. Cole, on the ground
that the thirty affidavits submit
ted by the defense indicated that
there was general belief eXtant
that the defendant was guilty;
that there was prejudice against
him as being member of the
HindOO race, and that the recent
movement on foot in Imperial Val
ley. which would prevent Hind0Os
from leasing land, were sufficient
to grant the motion.
With the granting of the motion
for a change of venue for the fourth
trial of Khair Din, in the Superior
court this afternoon, the history of
this long-drawn-out case finally comes
to an end in so far as Imperial coun-
ty courts are concerned. All wit
nesses, attorneys and everyone having
to do with the case will go to San
Diego, where the fourth trial will be
heard some time during July.
The Khair Din case has been one
of the most sensational in the his
tory of the Superior court of Imper-
ial county and dates back to the morn
ing of August Ia, 1917, when the bod
les of two Hindoos-Hassan Ali and
Fareed Baksh--were found dead about
a quarter of mile northwest of the
lockwood store on which is known
as the Ed Meserve ranch.
Witnesses later stated that shots
were heard about o'clock the even
ing before, indicating that the alleged
crime was committed on the evening
of August 13, 1917. Ten days later
Khair Din was arrested at the re-
quest of Sheriff Applestill by Mexi-
can authorities at Ensenada, Mexico,
and afterwards brought to the Impe-
rial county Jail.
Khair Din was first tried for the
alleged murder of Hassan Ali and
was found not guilty.
The second trial was for the alleged
murder of Fareed Baksh. with the
result that the jury could reach no
agreement, the vote of the jury being
six guilty and six not guilty.
At the third trial on the same
charge the defendant was sentenced
to life Imprisonment at San Quentin.
Pending the decision of the District
Court of Appeals, where an appeal
fer new trial had been filed by At
torney O. V. Wilson, Khair Din was
taken to the state prison, where he
remained until recently returned to
Imperial county on an order of Judge
Cole for a fourth trial, granted by
the state supreme court after the moi
ton of Attorney General Webb for
a rehearing had been twice denied.
What fate the final chapter Of the
case holds for Khair Din will be de-
termined by the San Diego courts.

London, May 26.-Just when all
hope for Hawker and Grieve had been
given up, England was thrilled this
afternoon by the news that the gal
liant aviators had been rescued by the
Danish steamer Mary, bound for Hor-
sens, Denmark
British destroyers are racing
through the North Sea in an endeav-
or to intercept the steamer and bring
the two airmen to England.
The Mary passed the Butt of Lewis
station, at the northern end of Lewis
Island, Sunday mrning, and signed to
Lloyd's that she had picked up the
crew of the Sopwith trans Atlantic
plane. The station Immediately quer-
led:
"Is it Hawker?"
' YES" came the reply.
The Mary is slow steamer, un-
equipped with wireless. She had al
ready required twenty-five days to
make landfall from New Orleans
and in passing the northern end of
Scotland apparently intended to con-
tinue direct to Horsens.
The news was flashed to London,
where it caused immediate rejoicing.
The admiralty Immediately ordered
efforts to be made to intercept the
Mary and take off the two airmen.
London, May 26.-Harry g. Hawk
er and Lieutenant Commander Mac
kenzie Grieve, the airmen who start
ed last Sunday to fly across the At
lantic from st. Johns, N. F., have
been picked up at sea and landed in
Scotland Both men are in perfect
health.
Hawker has sent this message from
the Revenge to the Daily Mail:
"My machine stopped owing to the
water filter in the feed pipe from
the radiator to the water pump being
blocked with refuse, such as solder
and the like, shaking loose in the ra
diator."
Hawker and Grieve were in the
water an hour, and a half before be-
ing taken aboard the steamer Mary.

Jack Demphsey is the only logical foe for Jess Willard in the scheduled July battle.
 Any thought of matching Georges Car pentier with the big American champion for bout within the next six months should be dismissed. Carpenter has not figured in a ring contest Of any conse- quence since 1914. The great French war rior needs several tuning up" fights. so as to attempt to find himself again. It IS within the realms Of possibility that Carpenters four-year absence from the ring may have retarded his puginstic progfess.
 Dempsey. on the other hand, is trained to the minute for a championship battle. He has been lighting almost constantly through the past two years and his show ing has been so splendid that of all of the fighters in the world, he alone is qualified to take on Willard. He has whipped every great and near-great ringman in America-and whipped the bulk of them in record time
 The showing of Jack Dempsey during the past IS months is perhaps the most renarkaole Of any heavyweight ringman or this or any other era. It has earned Dempsey the right to be the first to bat tie for the title and he certainly should bet the chance.
 Carpenter probably is the greatest French pugilist of all time. Perhaps if the war bad not engu!fed him and swept nm from the ring, he might have be- come worlds s wonder. But the fact is indisputable that Carpenters only real claim to the reavyweight greatness.
