J. P. Riley, cotton buyer who has
been making his headquarters at Ca
lexico, while a visitor in Ell Centre
yesterday afternoon stated in an inter
view that he expected cotton to be the
highest price in the history of de-
cade for the next season.
"The acreage is less than last year
all over the country" he said, "and
the prospects for cotton in all parts OF
the state and elsewhere are below nor
NAL. In general way the prospects
are good and constantly improving
now that warm weather has set in, yet
they are not to be compared to the
prospects at the same time last year

ers next year will get dollar pound
for high grade staple variety. Should
this be true, there'l be plenty of
money in Imperial Valley next year."

weeks for Lexington, Va, where he
will spend the sumner with his people,
returning to Imperial in the fall.

MAY ADMIT WOMEN
TO ORD|NA ION
Puzzling Question before Gen.
eraI Assembly Which This
Year Is Meeting at Philadel-
phiQ; Female Preachers?
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, May 20.-Admis-
sion of women to ordination as ruling
elders of the Presbyterial church is a
question that will be submitted to q
referendum vote of the entire denomi-
nation in the United States if the rec
ommendation of commission which
has been studying the subject for the
past year is approved by the Presby-
terrain general assembly which opens
its annual sessions here tonight.
A survey, taken by the commission
on the Official Relation of Women in
the Church, in which the opinions of
leading ministers. elders and women
was obtained, led it's members to these
conclusions:
"That the Scriptures did not forbid
either women elders or women preach
ers; that three other denominations or
dain women to the ministry but that
few women avail themselves of the
privilege; that four other denomina-
tons did not have women preachers
and are not inclined to have them;
that the evidence shown is favorable
to women as elders but unfavorable to
women as ministers; that of the
Presbyterians canvassed 60 percent
favored women as elders, AZ percent
favored women as ministers, while
31A per cent opposed any change in
the present usage of the church"
An elder in the Presbyterian church
occupies spiritual office but does
not preach. He assists the minister in
his religious duties and, as prebyter
is member of the governing body OF
the church endowed with the function
among others, of maintaining denomi-
national doctrine and administering
discipline. For centuries the office
has been filed exclusively BY men.
Last year, three Presbyteries, it was
said, made overtures to the general as.
sembly. One from the Presbytery OF
Columbia river asked that women be
made eligible to ordination both as
ministers and ruling elders. Anothe,
from the Presbytery of Dallas, Tex.
asked that a committee be appointed
to investigation the whole question OF
enlarged opportunities for women il

PRETTY GIRL
MAY Be STAR
WITNESS IN
HILL CASE
Witness for the
State Said to be Able to
Tell Startling Things
Which Were Not Before
Grand Jury.

While it has been generally accept
ed that former Deputy Marshal H.
c. Hyde would be the star witness
for the prosecution in the coming
trail of former Chief of Police c. E.
Hill, which will open in earnest Mon
day morning before Judge Phil d.
Swing, it developed this morning
that there is supposed to be an "ace
in the hole" in the form of a pretty
19-year-old girl, who is said to have
been an inmate of local house just
prior to the famous vice raids.
That this girl will take the stant
and tell "all" was intimated in circle:
where knowledge is supposed to lie.
The injection of a beautiful youth
ful>witness into the case will likewise
increase the interest in the case which
is expected to be one of the most bit
terly fought in the history of the
county.
Yesterday afternoon saw the jury
and Judge Swing then ad
journed court until Monday morning
He warned the jurors to be ready
Monday for a severe trial and stated
that it would probablytake the great.
err part of the week.
Former Councilmen George Watkins
and A. N. Bucklin are expected to
furnish material for the defense which
will be used in breaking the chain OF
evidence which the prosecution is ex-
pecting to forge.
1t is very probable that the trial OF
the son f. w. Hill on charges of sole
ting and receiving brides will not take
place until in June when a new jury
panel will be called.
