JUDGE ORDERS
30 US ARREST
AS PER JURER.

Furnishing a sensational and uneX
pected climax to a case that has at
tracted attention throughout the Val
ley, Ray Gray, a witness tor the de
tense in the case cf Edgar Byrd
charged with an assault with dead
ly weapon with intent to murder City
Marshal Charles Gillette Of HoltVille
was arrested shortly before the noon
adjournment Of court on a perjury
charge.
Cray, who is the step-son of Newt
Gray, one of the best known pioneers
cf the Valley, and is but Is years old
was placed under arrest on the orders
Of Presiding Judge Luce of San Diego
county and remanded to the Juvenile
ward Of the county jail to await
trial.
The incident occurred while young
Cray was being cross-eXamined by
District Attorney E. A. Simon after
he had told story on direct eXalni-
nation which lad depicted Marshal
Gillette as aggresscr in the assault
ard at variance with testimony which
had been given from the stand by
witnesses of the fight for both the
defense and the prosecution.
After listening to the tangle OF
facts and fancies voiced by the al
legged irresponsible witness for a time,
Judge Luce excused the jury and then
turned his attention 10 the land. The
court put several questions to Gray
to develop the latter's understanding
cf perjury and its penalties.
Deciding that the youth was fully
cognizant OF what he was doing, the
Judge placed him under arrest, sur
rendered him into the custody of Of
fice1s and directed the district attor-
ney to issue a warrant charging per-
jury.
Gray informed the court that he
had never talked over with anyone the
story he was to tell on the witness
stand, and denied that he had "framed
his testimony" with either the de-
fendant or the. defendants counsel,
Attorney O. V. Wilson.
When the suspense caused by the
incident cleared, District Attorney 81
mon issued a statement to the effect
that he not only would obey the in
structions of the court. but would I'M
lnediately set into motion an investi-
cation to learn the identity of the in
stigator of Gray's alleged prejury.
Someone put this youth up to the
improbable story he told and that
somebody should be punished. He OF
she is more guilty than is the boy,
who apparently followed somebody's $
instructions" said the district attor-
ney. when ] find the guilty party
| will prosecute to the full extent Of
the law on a charge Of subornation of
perjury"
Gray was the second witness called
for the defense, following his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Newt Gray, who had
been subpoenaed by the prosecution.
1t is probable that the case will go
to the jury by the time of adjourn
ment this afternoon.
Attorney Wilson, for the defense,
stated that he had but five witnesses
to call.
The prosecution will insist on a
term in the penitentiary for Byrd,
who was convicted and served pris-
cn term for shooting up another
wearcr of the marshal's Star in Holt
Vile.

'SSUE CALL FOR
CONFERENCE ON
PLANT DISEASES
(By Associated Press)

Sacramento, April 24.-On the east
the Rocky mountains and on the west
the Pacific ocean form natural bar
riers for states of the Pacific slope
against the migration of harmful in
sects and of plant diseases. If plant
distribution by human agency can be
properly regulated in this region,
comparative freedom from horticul-
tural diseases may be enjoyed by the
western states, G. II. Hecke, commits
sioner of horticulture for California,
believes.
Governor William d. Stephens, at
the suggestion of Mr. Hecke, has writ
ten the governors of nine western
states requesting that plant quaran-
tine representatives be sent to Cali
fornria on May 26 to meet at Riv-
erside with representatives from this
state, Canada, Lower California, Ha-
waii and Florida to discuss problems
arising from plant importation.
The plant quarantine conference
will be one of series of horticul-
tural conventions to be held in Riv-
erside May 26 to 81. The State As
sociation of Nurserymen and the State
Association of County Horticultural
Commissioners will meet there, there
will be a convention of fruit growers
and farmers and a conference of vege-
table growers. The Pacific Slope
branch of the American Association
of Economic Entomologists also will
convene at that time.

SIX MONTHS To
PAY FOR YOUR
LIBERTY BONDS

The Victory Liberty Loan is here.
1t is the best bargain of all of Amer
!ca's stupendOus war security issues.
That financiers and economists agree
upon. 1t is also the last of the Lib
erty Loans.
1he loan is for $4,000, 100000, sup
ported by notes carrying 3-4 per
cent interest and liberal tax eXemp-
tion features. These are convertible
into notes bearing 3-4 per cent in
terest virtually free of taxation. The
first will be more valuable to the
poor man. The rich man will buy
the second. Both series mature in
1928, but the government ha the
privilege of calling them in in 1922
The early maturity of these notes
makes them a prizen investment.
In order to get wide distribution
of the Victory Loan among the rank
these notes into the humblest homes
of America, the government will sell
them on time. The man who buys a
Victory Note will have six months in
which to pay for it. In other words
the government does not want the
banks to take the loan, even if the
banks could.
Six months to pay! Think of the
years these boys of ours who have
come back without legs or arms Or
eyes, are going to pay. Is there a
man among us who calls himself an
American who cannot take his share
of this lean under these terms? Can
that man face these armless and leg
less fellows and tell them why he is
not taking his share?
If the war has done one thing for
this community it has made it Amer
lean, heart and soul 1t Is gong to
stay American.
The test of that Americanism is its
record in the Victory Loan.
Men and women, this is the last
Liberty Loan. Let's stand shoulder
to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. all-and fin
ish this war job that those who died
shall have died not in vain.
