GAS 7 AWAY !
FOUND
IN bRANI |: =::Y

The Brawley authorities yesterday,
apprehended d Mexican woman who it
is stated left a new born babe beside
the Southern Pacific tracks in that
city,
The babe, lying on a pile of hay
slightly covered by a few branches
broken from a nearby tree, was found
by a rancher, and taken to the Braw-
ley hospital where it was found to be
nomal, healthy and undoubtedly of
Mexican parentage.
Physicians examined the woman
and stated that she was the mother
Officers are making an investigation,
and it is reported that the mother who
is unmarried, was placed under ar
res, charged with neglect.
Subsequent investigation has re-
vealed the facts that in order to as
certain which woman was the mother
Of the babe that it was necessary for
the physicians to examine number
of women in a Mexican camp.
When confronted by the evidence
produced by the examination of the
physicians, the mother stiV denied
that the child was hers, but that she
ives perfectly willing to take the child
and nurse it, if the authorities were
willing. When questioned as to where
child was, she said that she was a
widow and that her husband had been
for three years, so it was quite impos-
sible for her to have a baby, altho
she would keep the founding.
The district attorneys office states
that no action will be taken against
the woman if she now takes care of
the baby.

N NARY URGES
SENATE SUPPORT
OF PEACE PACT
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
McNary, Republican, of Oregon, spoke
in the senate, today, in favor of the
League of Nations and urged its ac-
ceptance without such amendments
or reservations as would altar its
splendid purposes and weaken it so
far as effects our duties" The senate
he said, could without harm adopt
certain reservations in the form of in
terpretatons. Article 10 should be
left unimpaired. He denied that this
article obliged America to go to war
under anv condition whatever except
Of justice.
Senator Moses, Republican, of New
Hampshire told the senate that the
United States, by accepting the role
Of principal power as designed in the
treaty would embroil itself for many
years in European troubles. He said
the league of nations was bad
enough but other provisions of the
treaty were worse.

SPOUSE DID ELOPE
SAYS MRS. DRAKE

Allegations in the report of the
elopment of Henry Drake and Mrs.
Cora Hoffman in Imperial, are being
made fast by both sides in the con-
troversy. Friends of Drake appear
and denounce the charge as malicious
stating that there is no foundation
in the report, while friends of Mrs.
Drake as just as emphatic in the
stand that Drake did elope with Mrs.
Hoffman.
1t is stated by one who knows the
facts in the case that Wednesday
NIGHT. the one before the disapper-
ance of the two, that Drake remained
at the home of the Hoffman woman
all night. 1t is also stated that while

has large cattle interests in Texas
and that he has gone to that state
on business. This allegation is thrown
into the discard by the statement of
Mrs. Drake that her husband had no
cattle interests in Texas and that he
is supposed to have gone to Houston,
Texas where the parents of Mrs.
Drake live.
Before Mrs. Drake consented to
Drake taking the youngest girl with
him, it was promised that Drake
would leave her at the home of Mrs
brakes parents at Houston.
Subsequent investigation reveals
the fact that Drake bought ticket
only to San Antonio, Texas and not
to Houston.

COMPANION GOES FOR HELP.

fast pace. After continuing across
the sands for some time Woodward
called to his companion that he was
going entirely too fast and suggested
that he, Woodward, take the lead.
Suddenly without any warning
Shissler began to stagger. Woodward
Immediately dropped the articles he
was carrying and rushed back to aid
his companion who fell unconscious
in his arms. Laying him down on the
sands, Woodward sought to find some
shade and dragged him to a mes
quite bush. There he gave him water,
washed his face and wet his head
and did everything to aid him.
Seeing that immediate aid was nee
essary if Shissler was to revive,
Woodward, after strapping Shissler's
feet together with his belt to prevent
him from wandering away, and dis
charging the shot gun, started across
the sands for help.
Running, stumbling, falling Wood
ward finally reached No. Water
Company's zanjero house where first
aid attention was given him while
Counts, the zanjero went for addition
al help.
Counts rounded Up two or three
neighbors and with Woodward they
started back to rescue Shissler. When
they reached the spot where Shissler
was they found him toppled over on
his face in the sands, dead.
The rescue party returned to the
zanjero house where Coroner Peter
son was telephoned for permission
to bring in the body.
There being no bridge at this point
on the Highline canal it was nee
essary to swim team of mules across
the canal. The body of Shissler was
strapped to the back Of one of the
mules and brought in to the High
line where it was met by Coroner
Peterson and B. E. Lemons, of the
undertaking firm of Shaffer & Lem
ons.
The body was brought to Ell Centre
late last night and will be shipped tc
Los Angeles tonight.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-An &C
tive campaign to bring about armed
Intervention in Mexico is in full swing
here with an increasing pressure for
action upon congress and the eXecu-
tive The resolution adopted by the
Texas senate suggesting that if the
Federal Government cannot protect
the border as it was potected by the
Republic of Texas that it accord to
the State of Texas liberty Of action
to act on it's own account more than
any other development has served to
focus political attention to the propa-
ngada.
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, one
of the leaders in agitation, has added
fuel to the flame by giving in the
names and rank of number Of Car
ranzista officers and men who have
been killed in raids over the American
border during the past year and there
is an accumulation of reports from
all parts of Mexico of recent out
RACES upon Americans.
Henry P. Fletcher, American Am
bassador to Mexico told the House
Committee on Rules today, that since
his appointment three years ago,
about fifty Americans have been kill
ed in Mexico without single prose-
cution by the Mexican authorities. He
gave it as his opinion that the with
drawal of the recognition of the Car
rama government by the United
States would only increase the tur-
moil. He said he did not know of any
revolutionary leader who was capa-
BILE of establishing a permanent gov
ernment.
Fletcher said he had not noticed
any especial anti-American feeling
in Mexico. He said that the presence
in Mexico of a greater number of
American than of other foreigners
probably accounted for the greater
number of outrages affecting Amer
leans.
The Ambassador was summoned
before the committee in connection
with the resolution of Representative
Gould of New. York for the appoint
ment of a joint congressional commit
tee to investigate the replations be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
The Ambassador repeatedly declined

played a game with fate and fate
won.
In 1914 Woodward entered desert
claim for land in section -, this land
being located about six miles and a
half east of the Highline canal. and
built on his claim little shack. Later
when the government withdrew this
land Woodward left the place and
returned to his home in Los Angeles
leaving behind him in the shack a
quantity of personal articles, includ-
ing a shot gun, revolver and camp
equipment.
For some time Woodward had
promised himself that at the first op-
portunty he would return and get
these few articles. The opportunity
seemed to present itself last week,
and so accompanied by Chas. M.
Shissler, a newsdealer of Ocean Park,
he left Los Angeles Saturday morning
for the valley. The first night, camp
was pitched at Palm Springs while
Sunday night saw the men at Braw-
ley.
Arising early yesterday morning
the men set out to visit the home
stead and drove the machine to the
east Highline canal. There the ma
chine was left and they set out
on foot to the claim, carrying a big
canteen of water. The trip out was
made without incident and after a
three hour rest at the camp, during
which time Mr.. Woodward packed the
few articles he wished to take bach
with him, his companion secured q
two hours sleep.
On the return trip, which was start

morning, Shissler took the lead and

HOW MUCH IS SKIM
MILK ACTUALLY WORTH?
CREAMERIES SELL SKIM MILK FOR ONE CENT
PER GALLON CAT CREAMERY

When J. NJ. Henderson Jr., Of Sac
ramento, organized the Imperial val
| lev unit Of his state combination, one
of the strong arguments which he
employed to get memberships was the
great use which his association would
make of the skim milk. Henderson
| went so far as to claim that the skim
milk was worth more than the cream.
The Imperial Valley Milk Producers
association have used the same line
| Of advertising in a local paper.
The San Francisco Bulletin on July
18th had the following tosay on this
important skim milk question:
In spite of the claims of the promo
/ ters of the Milk Producers associa-
tions that "more money" is to be made
! out of the by-products Of milk than
! out of butter-fat" skim milk can be
bought from the association plants at
! l cent a gallon.
| This was learned today by a Bull
letin reporter, who was offered un-
! limited quantities of skim milk at
that price at the creamery at fanny
Switch, near Tracy, where the "sur-
plus milk" from San Francisco's for
mer supply is being converted into
butter while the price is held up to
"A cents quart TO San Francisco
consumers.
That the farmers are being de-
ceived by the promoters of the asso-
Citations and the consumes are also
being held up through the manipula-
ton of the "new middleman," is
. shown by the revelation contained in
this fact.
Attractive notices are being sent
out by the local brokerage firm which
is trying to sell the first-mortgage
notes issued on the farmers property,
pointing to the fancy prices being Of
fered for casein, milk-sugar and al
bumen which they claim, are being
turned out in large quantities by the
plants of the associations.
One By-Product Plant
AS a matter of fact, there is but
one plant in operation by the asso-
Citations equipped for making these
Sy-products. This one is at Mo-
desto. Were the claims made by the
promoters true and ready market
available for these products at the
prices quoted to the farmers by the
promoters, it would be an easy thing
to load the skim milk on the train
at fanny Switch and send it few
miles to Modesto for the converting
process. Why, then, was Bulletin

Facts to Know

But were the associations figures
accurate, the fact that a few miles
from the one plant in operation this
by-product is being sold for l cent
a gallon, or II cents a hundred, ar
CUES for either one of two things
either gross inefficiency or delib-
crate deception against the farmers
on the part of the association pro
moters. There is quite difference
between 5000 claimed by the pro-
moters, and II cents, actually being
received.
The Bulletin, which has always en-
conuraged legitimate cooperation
among producers and has been i
stanch friend Of the farmers in all
their tsruggles for better economic
advantages, believes that they should
know these facts in their own inter

the skim milk he wanted" at 1 cent
a gallon?
Representing himself to be a
chicken raiser, the reporter was told
by an attendant that the farmers
were buying the skim milk for hogs
and chickens at that price, and that
nearly all of it is being so bought
up. When the fanny plant was first
started, at the time when the asso-
ciated milk producers found themsel-
YES with Surplus" of $4,000 gal
Ions a day because of the breaking
away of three big San Francisco dis
tributors from the combine, skim
milk was actually thrown away. This
was admitted by the attendant. Now,
however, it is being sold back to the
stock producers.
If, as the promoters claim, skim
milk is in demand sufficient to bring
500 per hundred pounds through by
products manufacture, The farmers
are being done out Of $1.97 per 100
pounds when they sell it for 1 cent
gallon to their fellow farmers or
themselves. The promoters claim
that out of 100 pounds Of milk the
butter-fat brings 1928, casein .343
cents, milk-sugar .487 and albumen
26 cents, thus making the skim milk
of greater value than the butter
fat. That these figures are grossly
exaggerated can be seen from today
market quotations, which give milk
sugar at IS cents instead Of 81 cents
quoted by the association promoters; :;
casein at 10 cents instead Of II cents,
and albumen at 3 "a cents instead of
26 cents. As a matter of fact, the
market is poor for all of these prod
