HOLD CONFERENCE
WITH THE HIGHWAY
MM|SS|O NER

l.. J. Thomas and Casey Abbott, of
the Imperial county highway commits
sion, yesterday held a conference with
Chairman w. D. Darlington, of the
state highway commission, for the
purpose of securing some agreement,
if possible, concernino the construc-
ton of the state highway under the
pending bond issue in this county, it
being taken for granted that the
measure will carry.
eve want the state to build as much
milage as possible" said Mr.. Thomas,
"and we will endeavor to obtain some
definite pledges concerning the mat
ter"
The state road program calls for
perial Valley highway through the
ment of the Valley-Indio highway.
The latter project is of more impor-
tance to North End residents than
the San Diego road, as the San Diego
highway is passable at all times, while
the Valley-lndio road is impossible
to a person not used to desert roads.
Included in the state program is q
road from Trifolium to Holtville, this
being part OF the San Bernardlno-
Yuma road. If the state should decide
to postpone construction of this road
until the last, it will mean that a con-
siderable section of Imperial county
will go without good roads for some
time.
The state highway section was left
out of the calculations Of the county
commission, thus enabling the county
people to give every section of the
county adequate roads. The compile
ton of the state highway Will link up
the county system and make commu-
nication between Valley cities easy.
The state commission will be asked
as to its intention in regard to the
Valley, and which road will be built
first in case the highway bond issue
carries

First Grapes
Leave Valley

The first grapes to leave the val
ley went out yesterday. They were
shipped by Francis Heiny of Brawley
and were an early seedless variety
from vines from the old government
experimental farm. About 25 pounds
were shipped.
Indications point to the grape out
put being at least normal this year.
No great increase is reported, and a
good crop will produce about $50 car
loads from the vallev. Last year
Brawley shippel 40 carloads, and it is
expected that this will be slightly in
creased this year. Last season the
output was 140 cars from the valley,
and 60 cars from Mecca and the Goa
chella valley.
Grape producers are starting now to
line up labor, and the fruit men here
for the cantaloupe season are being
signed up for the grape season.

COURT HOUSE
'RUMOR SAYS
VICE PROBE
is PROJECTED.
Conflicting Reports Are Re-
ceived on Conditions in
Valley Towns Under Some
Suspicion.

Possibility of a big drive by Sher-
iff Charles Applestill and District At
torney E. r. Simon against the last
vestiges of the "wide open" town days
remaining in the county was a sub
ject Of serious discussion at the court
house today following the receipt of
several conflicting reports.
According to some authorities, at
least one, if not two, incorporated
cities in the Valley provide the set
tin0 for great amount of gambling;
that loose women in growing numbers
are plying their trade in open disre-
gard of the law and the sentiment
of the communities, and that large
amounts of liquor have been shipped
into the county for the coming long
dry spell.
On the other hand come reports,
which may be regarded as official, in
contradistinctionto rumors, that never
before has vice. as represented by
gambling, bawdy houses and blind
pigs, been so nearly extinct; and that
the county officials are receiving the
cooperation of the officers Of the in
corporated cities in maintaining this
highly moral condition.
In the lace OF tneSe cOnInctlng re-
ports, the district attorney today is
sued complaint for the arrest of
one of the best known gamblers in
tie Valley and man who is said
to have recently operated gaming
establishment in a Valley town.
Although the majority of the towns
of the Valley are said to be compara-
lively free from the contamination of
ice, except for that brought in by
itnerants who leave as soon as they
have picked up ''piece of change"
one or two cities are under a more
or less official suspicion.
Whether the proposed investigation
will be launched will rest with the
two county officials mentioned By
some persons close to them it was
said tht such probe was in contem-
plation.

Court Changes
WOnnan's Role

AS an object lesson to those who
waste the valuable time of the courts
and the peace officers in filing
"shaky" charges and failing to prose
cute them. Justice of the Peace Isaac
Mayfield this morning issued an or
der transposing Mrs. Luck Adkins,
colored, from the role of prosecutor
to that of a defendant
The court turned over to officers
an order citing Mrs. Adkins for con-
tempt "for filing a frivolous COM
plant and for failing without good
cause to prosecute the same" The
contempt proceedings are scheduled
to be heard within the next day or
two
The incident grew out of the filing
by Mrs. Adkins Of a charge of aban-
donment against her husband, Lee Ad-
kins. At her instigation deputy
sheriff was sent to San Diego to ap-
prehend Adkins and bring him back
to this county for trial.
In bringing Adkins to justice the
county spent some $50 in cash in ad-
dition to the loss of time to both the
court and the officers. Thus when
the prosecuting witness failed to
show up at this mornings scheduled
proceedings the court grew wrothy.
The charge against Adkins was dis
missed and the contempt order
against the woman was then entered.
The attorneys in the case were Will
son and Ellison for Adkins and Don
c. Bitter for the prosecution.

Of JEWELRY
FIRM FOUND
Manager of Jewelry Firm
Is Arrested on a Charge
of Observation-Disclosures
Accusation.

A case that promises to surpass
the Franklin-1rvine and the Tomlin-
SON -RuErdOrf cases in public inter-
est as well as extended litigation will
reach the Superior court within a
few weeks, it is thought.
The case arises out of the arrest
yesterday in Brawley of J. R. Jenk-
ms, manager of a jewelry store, on
charge of embezzlement.
The complainant is Frenk Frey, a
returned service man who is owner
of the store. He alleges that the
books of the concern show that Jenk-
ins is short in the sum of approx
mately $4,000 and he has brought the
criminal action as a preface for civil
action for the recovery of that
amount.
On the other hand, Jenkins, who
is extremely popular in the North
End, alleges that the charges are
trumped UP and untrue: that the
books Of the store, which were au-
dited up to the moment he turned the
place over to the owner, show an even.
balance.
The friends of Jenkins claim that
Frey accused the former first of be-
ing $1,000 short in his accounts and
sought complaint from the district
attorneys office; but this action was
refused until an audit of the books
should disclose beyond a doubt that
crime had been committed.
The answer of jenkins to this con-
templated action was civil suit for
the collection of $500 in salary al
legged to be owing him. Frey then
countered by the criminal action.
The preliminary hearing of the
criminal charge will be held in Braw-
ley within two weeks at a date de-
pending on the return Of the defense

Paris, June 12.-The reply of Bella
Kun, Hungarian Soviet government
foreign minister to Premier Clemen-
ceaus demands that hostilities against
,the CZecho-Slovaks cease, is apparent
lV unsatisfactory, as it has not been
Published. The minister's statement
that he was invited to the peace con-
terence IS denied officially. Clemen-
ceauS' statement that he would not be
invited to the conference if he did not
cease fighting has been twisted into
an invitation to Paris.
The reverses of Admiral Kolchak's
troops in southern Russia have caused
uneasiness in official circles. The re-
verses reported since Bella Kun's sue
cess against the Czech's are being
viewed with especial concern and the
strengthening of the Bolsheviki hold
IN Moscow by interruption of the
ESthonlan's advance against Petro-
grad Is also a source of uneasiness.
The Bolshevki peril is again com
mandIng the attention of all the dele
cations here and there is no effort
to conceal the menace the Hungarian
Bolskeviki offer Poland as we'll as
Czecho- Slovoliia. Austria is regarded
as fertile ground for Bolshevism and
if Austria were under Bolshevik con-
troll, with part of Czecho- Slovokia, the
BolsheViki would hold d wedge in CEN

three sides of Poland, which is already
