In one week this phantom influence
governed the passing OF two lives
into that realm which to many
people the war has made as real as
the material sphere.
Mrs. Gertrude MyrOn Gibbons, held
in Los Angeles on a murder charge,
reached out for it's guidance in her
confessed purchase of poison TO
deliver her invalid husband from
physical misery.
Sergeant Clarence Dunn, Fortieth
coast artillery, who killed himself
and wounded Mrs. Helen Gesler, of
San Jose in a death pact, followed

the enamoured pair to find ethereal
happiness.
Both tragedies were rooted in a
faith that life hereafter is more
precious than the present. Both
Dunn and Mrs. Gibbons planned to
hasten the transition by force.
Gibbons was consumptive. Might

From far-away California comes
a query to the chief of police of
Albany, Ga. concerning a 15-year-
old boy who confessed in Juvenile
court, Los Angeles, that his sneak
thefts in money and jeweIry since
escaping, from a reform school IN
Alabama in June, 1918, have amount
ed to more than $4,000. Some of
these thefts were committed in this
city. according to the boys confess
sion.
A large topaz ring, an automatic
pistol and a few dollars in money
were stolen in Albany in June of
last year, the boy told the proba ton
officer of the Los Angeles court
The local police have records of
such property having been stolen
here about that time, and have so

According to the letter received
here, the boy, whose right name is
Gilbert Gardner, but who answers to
the aliases of Willie F'rasier.. Claude

nest Randall, an 1&-year-old boy,
who helps to dispose of the stolen

LINE, SAYS GENERAL
AtIantians With Troops From
Tennessee and the Caro-

American troops were the first to
break the Hinden5urg line, according
to the London Daily News in it's COM
ment on the report of Field Marshal
Haig on the operations from the end
Of April last ~ the close of HOSTILE
ties. The news points out that at
least the first mention of break
through contained in the field mar
shal's report was in the course Of his
description of the days work on Sep
TENDER 20, IN which he wrote:
North of Bellenglise, the Thir-
tieth North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee and District Of
Columbia), Old Hickory, American
division, Major General E. M. Lewis,

lenses of the Hindenburg line, storm

pressed on with great gallantry as
far as Jouy. where a bitter struggle
took place for possession of the viii
lage. The lighting on the whole
front Of the second American corps
was severe and in Bellincourt, Nou-
roy. GillemOnt farm and a number
of other points, amid the intricate
defenses of the Hindenburg line,
strong bodies of the enemy held out
with great obstinacy for. many
hours.
"Theee points Of resistance were
gradually overcome either by the

NATIONS LEAGUE
MAY SPLIT TWO
MAJOR PARTIES

Washington, March 10.-The
. League of Nations question is pro
ducing political complications in both
he major paries and if it should be-
come an issue in the presidential elec-
ton next year it might split the Re
publicans as well as the Democrats.
There is great deal of speculation
on the probable fate of William H.
Taft as Republican presidential
possibility in view of his endorsement
of the League of Nations constitu-
ton submitted by the president, and
his appearance arm in arm with Mr..
Wilson at the New York meeting to
support the chief executives appeal
for its support.
In a conference of Republican lead
ers within a week, four men were
listed as iooming large" in the field
of possibilities for the Republican
mination-Senator Harding of
Ohio, Governor Lowden of Illinois,
Senator Watson of Indiana and Sen
ator PoindeXter of Washington.
Of these, Governor Lowden and
Senator Harding were particularly
dwelt upon.
Former Senator Beveridge of In
diana is also being groomed for the
race by Progressive Republicans.
In the Democratic camp there are
plenty of signs of possible split
over the League of Nations, Former
Speaker Champ Clerk, defeated at
Baltimore in 1912 by Mr.. Wilson, is
without doubt candidate for the
Democratic nomination next year. He
is opposed to the League of Nations
as it has been presented.
William Jenning Bryan is suspect
ed of opposition, for he has been
strangely silent on the question.

FIRST CARLOAD
OF VALLEY PEAS
SHIPPED EAST

Brawley-Brawlev's first carload
of peas was shipped Saturday to New
York by the American Fruit Dis
tributors Company. From now on a
carload will leave Brawley every 9TH
er day throughout the season.
Most OF these peas are grown on
the American Fruit Distributors
ranches in No. 8. Others are pur-
chased from growers.
The peas are packed 80 pounds in
drum, with a small cake of ice in
the center, and put into iced cars
The drums, icing and packing cos
about S1.00 per drum, and the pick
ing from l "a to cents a pound
Before they are drummed, peas must
be carefully graded, making another
expensive step in the shipping pro-
cess. The vines are in unusually
good condition this year, making pick
ing easy, and the peas themselves are
in fine condition.
A week ago the Los Angeles mar
ket was 10 cents per pound, but the
appearance of local peas weakened
the market so that prices in Los An
geles are from 9 to II cents pei
pound.
The East, however, will provide
good markets.
