FOR MURDER
Hearing on the Appeal of
the Defense in the Khair
Din Case to Be Held in
Los Angeles Monday.

The state, to which the masser
passes automatically, will vigorously
resist the appeal to reverse the judg-
ment Of Judge Franklin J. Cole of
the Imperial County Superior court
in sentencing Khair Din to life i'm
prisonment for the murder of fel-
low countryman.
The appeal of Defense Attorney O.
V. Wilson comes up Monday morn
ing before the Second division of the
District Court of Appeals in Los An
geles. The appeal is based on a sup
posed reversible error of the trial
judge in admitting hearsay evidence.
District Attorney E. R. Simon will
also go to Los Angeles and be pres
'ant at the hearing to advise the
deputy state attorney general, whose
duty requires the resisting of the ac-
ton. Every effort will be made, ac-
cording to the district attorney, to
secure a dismissal of the appeal and
the sustaining of the lower court.
Khair Din was arrested in 1917 for
the murder of his two former part
ners in farming enterprise. In the
tial of the one case he was acquit-
ted, but in the trials to which he was
held for the death of the second Hin

Washington, Jan. 24.-Bolshevism
is spreading rapidly in the United
States, Archibald Stevenson of New
York, representing the military in
telligence service, told the Senate Ju-
dietary subcommittee investigating
German propaganda, today.
The Bolsheviki have established So
viets in nearly all large industrial
centers in the country, he testified.
They have been organized to such
degree that they constitute "the
greatest menace to the country to-
day." the witness stated. The plan of
the soviet delegates, Mr.. Stevenson
said, "is to extend their influence un-
til they can take over the govern
ment.
: S'The idea is to overthrow the gov
ernment, is it?" Senator Overman,
chairman of the committee, asked.
"Precisely," answered Mr.. Steven
son.
The leaders of the movement in
this country are largely Russian. Mr..
Stevenson said the central idea of
their organization was taken from
the constitution of the soviet govern
ment of Russia. He produced copy
Of it and it was read into the rec
ord One of it's principles was to
disfranchise anyone who employs la
Dor or pays wages.
Bolshevism has been particularly
active in the United States since the
armistice was signed. One of its
purposes. according to Mr.. Steven
son, was to create sentiment in this
country against exacting harsh terms
from Germany. He quoted an edi-
torial from the New York Stats
Zeitung of December to show how
that newspaper was aiding this prop
aganda. lr' Z"
Mr.. Stevenson mentioned John
Reed, the writer, as the official rep
resentative of the Russian Bolshe-
wiki in the United States.
The recent outbreaks in Argentina
were fomented by propaganda pre-
pared in New oYrk by the Industrial
Union of North and South America,
according to the witness.
This propaganda is prepared in
Russia and shipped to Latin-Ameri-
can countries to promote the cause of
Bolshevism, he stated.
Mr.. Stevenson furnished, the COM
mitee with three remedies for the
Bolshevik menace in the United
States.
First, he said, he would deport the
chief agitators.
Second, he would suppress their Sc
ditious literature.
Third, he would launch vigorous
counter propaganda "by Americans
and for America"

P. D. IN
FIRST CLASS
Postoffice During the Past
Year Has Gross Receipts
of S42,9O9.14, an Increase
of $4,000. /E

Registering an Increase of nearly
$4,000, the Ell Cettro postoffice du-
ring the year past broke records
according to Postmaster Collins. The
total receipts were $42,90914, as
compared with $4,000 in 1917.
In view of this report an effort
wiwll be msde to have Postmaster
General Burleson designated the Of
flee as a first class office Ac-
cording to the rules of the depart
ment, when an office shows gross
sales of more than $4,000 it is au-
tomatically placed in the first class.
This = change carries with it an in
crease of salary to the postmaster,
increases in the office force and ad-
ditional help whenever necessary.
However, because of the increase
in postage rates and the ruling that
the deduction of cent per stamp be
made for war revenue, it is doubt
full if the stand of the office will
be elevated.
Postmaster Collins also reported
that the total sales of War Savings
Stamps in this jurisdiction were $751;
$50, of which more than $13O.OOO
were made from the local office. The
quota of the district was exceeded
by $4,000.

MINOR C[EWS
UNC0vER RE D
IN PROBE Of
MURDER CASE
Possible Partial Identifica-
ton Indicates That the
Woman May Have Been
Wife of Hindu.

Analysis of the blood of the wom-
an whose charred body was found
among the driftwood of New river
Monday night, to determine her prob
able age and race, was regarded as
probability in official circles today
following another twenty-four hours
of almost fruitless investigation of
the murder mystery by Sheriff APP
plestill.
1t was asserted that experts or
scientists through an analysis Of the
blood could uncover these important
facts, thus narrowing down the field
for investigation and giving some
tangible clews for the officers to
work on.
From material unearthed and
traced down today a possible partial
Identification of the murdered wom-
an was established, indications being
that she might be the wife of VAL
ley Hindu, who is reported to have
been missing for several days.
A local shoemaker today identified
the tan shoes which the woman wore
as being ones on which he had done
some repair work recently, although
he could not definitely say when the
shoe was in his shop or who the own
er might be.
The important feature of this de-
velopment was the elimination of all
theories that the woman was a stran-
ger in the Valley, brought here by
the murderer for the condign pur-
pose of dispatching his victim far
from her home and friends. Insteaed,
it indicates that she was a local
woman.
