Bic PARTY DUE
EARLY IN APRIL

A party of Brooklyn Eagles, travel
ing the country for the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle, are due to arrive in the Imper-
ial Valley the first week in April for
short stay in this county and then to
tha city.
The Eagles are travelling in a ~
coach special train, the exact number
has not been given, but according to
S. W. Leffingwell, whose duty it is to
arrange for the coming party, there
are between 125 and $50 making the
trip.
On their western tour they will stop
in Yuma for a short visit, from there
make their way to Calexico. Machines,
furnished by the people of that city,
will be put at the disposal of the party
and they will be shown about the sur
rounding country, on both sides of the
line. Arriving in Ell Centro Mr.. Lef-
finSwell and a party of prominent cit
izens will meet them at the station
and escort them through the Valley.
San Diego will be the last stop on
the journey, from there they will
make their way east, via Los Angeles
and San Francisco.
The reason for the coming of the
party is for advertising purposes, to
outline to the eastern people pleasure
tours worthy of travel. Last year a
trip was made to Yellowstone Nation
al Park, and upon returning to the
east an account of the complete trip
was published in the Eagle and sent to
every city in the United States. The
same will be done on this trip and
nothing could be done that would bet
ter Imperial Valleys stock in the
east. Mr.. Leffingwell urges that the
entire county unit in royalty enter
tanning the easterners.

ing bribes and perjury was made.

ney Wilson in making a motion tc
have the charge against E. w. Hill
the son, of perjury, dismissed.
Attorney Wilson in making the
motion gave four grounds on which
it should be dismissed. The argu-
ment on the motion will be heard
Saturday morning.
His motion that the charge of per
jury be dismissed was made on the
following grounds:
First, that the grand jury which re-
turned the Indictment was not law
full grand jury because of the fact
that it was discharged on Dec. 13
1918, after returning indictments in
the famous Delta Land and Cattle
cases, that the law provides that the
judge in January of each year should
call new grand jury and that this
has not been done either in 1919 or
1920. He elaborated considerably on
this charge.
Second, that all the names of the
witnesses have not been attached to
the indictment in the manner pro-
vided bv law.
Third, that the foreman OF the grand
jury, before witnesses in this case
were called, failed to inquire of the
grand jurors if they had any personal
prejudice in hearing evidence in a
case like this. Mr.. Wilson made the
charge this had not been done and
stated that according to law it shoult
have been done.
Fourth. that the indictment was not
presented propes' ly in that it SHOULD
have been signed by the foreman OF
the grand jury. when the minutes OF
the court showed that it was present.
ed by District Attorney E. R. Simon
Court adjourned after hearing the
motion. The arraignment on the
bribery charges will come up tomor,

will make motion to dismiss them
on several grounds.

through the open windows of the
