Poll City On
League Plan

A nationwide poll of communities
on the subject of the League of Ma
tions, the international organization
which President Wilson has been
sponsoring at the Peace Conference
in Paris, is being made by the Lit
erary Digest.
The editor of The Press has been
asked to forward letter to that
magazine expressing the sentiment
of Ell Centre on this important sub
ject. We do not feel competent to
answer for the community, so, for
the purpose of accurately gauging the
situation, this paper has arranged for
straw vote.
Beginning Monday evening, The
Press will carry blank ballots for
and against the League of Nations
in two or three issues and those de-
string to vote are asked to mail or
deliver their ballots in person to his
office.
While we personally favor the Gre
alton of League of Nations in ac-
cord with President Wilson's plans,
our answer as to Ell Centro's senti-
ments will be based on the results
of the poll.
The voting will close on next Satur-
day at high noon.

LAUNCH MOVE
FOR DECREASE: |:
IN Ell CEN1R()
FIRE "A TE;5

A definite move to obtain de-
crease in the fire insurance rate with
in the corporate limits of Ell Centre
is expected to be taken by several
leading merchants within the next
week or two, following the accep-
tance by the city of the $4,000 fire
apparatus.
Assurances have been given by
men in close touch with the Insurance
Underwriters of the Pacific that
with the expenditure of comparatively
little more money by the city to les
sen fire risks, several hundred dol
lars monthly can be saved property
owners on the item of insurance.
While no official statement on the
subject has been Forthcoming or can
be expected, it is authoritatively stat
ed that little effort on the part of
the citizenry. the expenditure of a
little money, an application for
reduction in rates would undoubted-
ly receive favorable consideration
from the powers that be in the in
surance field.
Ell Centro's present rate is a great
deal higher than that paid by coast
cities of the same class. Two rea-
sons assigned for this difference are
the permanent character and class of
construction coast cities, as opposed
to the Valleys penchant for "shacks
tent houses, etc." and the difference
in climatic conditions.
Heretofore the lack of adequate
and modern fire equipment has beer
a point against Ell Centre, but this is
now eliminated with the purchase OF
the new fire engine. 1t is said that
one of the first steps necessary fol
securing rate reduction is the
placing of more firemen on salary, al

LEGAL POINT ON
COUNTY LIQUOR
LAW SETTLED

An interesting legal point in con-
nection with the county's drastic Ii
quor laws was fought out in the Su-
perior court yesterday between Dis
trict Attorney E. R. Simon and At
torney 0. V. Wilson and resulted in
a complete victory for the state.
The action was brought by /. A.
Gray, owner of an automobile seized
for the transportation of intoxicants
into the county, for the return of
the machine, which is being held by
Sheriff Applestill pending the trial
Of the owner for violation of the
law.
The action was on replevin. The
district attorney maintained that to
grant the petition of Gray would be
to nullify and weaken the force of
the ordinance, which requires the
confiscation of machines used in
transporting liquor where the owner
is found guilty of the charge.
20 The judges ruling keeps the auto
mobile in charge of the sheriff un-
til the pending criminal charge is
tried. In the event of conviction
it will be confiscated, but if the case
is beaten it will be turned over tc
the owner.

ASK N D NEY
AID To KEEP
j. 8. | A DO R
OFFICE Open

Owing to the failure of Congress,
in it's haste to adjourn, to pass the
necessary appropriation bills, the
Imperial Valley branch of the Fed
eral Employment Service will be
closed after March %, unless local
financial aid is forthcoming.
1t is believed that at the next ses-
sion of Congress funds will be vot-
ed for the continuance of this i'm
pcrtant wartime activity, which is
an aid both to the employer and the
employee. AS this office has filled
a long-felt need in the Valley for
agricultural help and as the period
to tide it over will not exceed a very
few months, it is thought that the
necessary funds for its retention will
be secured.
The matter will undoubtedly be
taken up at the next meeting of the
Associated Chamber of Commerce
and other specific and patriotic or
ganizations.
The employment office is in charge
Of Captain A. N. Miner and can be
KEEP open, it is estimated, at a cost
of $125 per month.
Since it was established in 1918 it
has furnished employment to over
5000 workers and recently eighty dis
charged soldiers.
The following letter on the sub
ject of arrangements for the Con-
tinuance of teh u. S. Employment
Office in FL Centro," from W. T.
l.<yce, federal director, explains the
sitGation:
a. Due to Congress having failed
to pass the deficiency appropriation
and further, in view of the fact that
no other funds are available, it will
be necessary to discontinue the u
S. Employment Service Office in your
city at time not later than March
%, 1919, unless you can interest va
rious soldier welfare organizations
the Chamber of Commerce, labor OF
farmers organizations, or your mu-
nicipal authorities, to the extent OF
having them finance same until the
end cf the present fiscal year (June
30, 1910, by which time Congress
will have met in extra session and, i,
is confidntly believed, will have made
provision for the continuance of the

Arrest of Colored Man in
San Diego May Solve the
Mystery of Lyons Cross
ing Killing.

Will the chance arrest in San Diego
of a negro going by the unimagina-
tive name of William r. Brown solve
Imperial Valleys greatest murder
nystery-the killing and partial Gre
nation of an unknown woman in the
river bottom near Lyons Crossing
last November?
TIE answer to this question will
probably be forthcoming within a
few days, after Sheriff Charles Ap-
plestill has gone ever every detail of
the heinous crime with the chief of
police of San Diego. The sheriff will
probably go to the coast city for this
purpose within a day or two.
Word was received here today, via
a long distance telephone message
to The Press, that Brown, arrested in
San Diego, Friday evening, for an
assault on a negro woman, had con-
fessed to the murder Of white wom-
an here.
From the information extracted by
the officers, it appears that Brown
has mania for assaulting women
and has perpetrated this same crime
in various parts of the country, also
escaping without punishment.
While the San Diego police have
not obtained complete confession
their information is such as to leat
them to believe that the prisoner is
responsible for the Lyons Crossing
murder, which is as yet unsolved in
any parsicular.
Brown is so years old. He is sale
to have admitted assaulting white
woman recently at Point Iona.
