SLOT MAC HINES
HELD ILLEGAL
BY |. MAYF|ELD

Justice Isaac Mayfeld this morning
announced his decision on the now
famous test case of the state VS..
H. Hamana of Brawley, charged with
having three slot machines in his es-
tablishment by which gum and other
merchandise was purchased.
Inasmuch as all the slot machines
taken in the recent raids will be re-
garded as coming under this decision,
it is of vital Importance.
Justice Mayfeld ruled that the ma
chimes were gambling devices on all
three counts. The defense admitted
one machine was a gambling machine
and the legal battle was over the
other. 1t was shown that strings had
been used to block the mechanism in
various ways.
Mn. M. Morse, Jr., an attorney from
Los Angeles. acted for the defense and
announced that the decision will be
taken to the higher courts.
Word from Calexico this morning
was to the effect that large number
of warrants were served there yester-
day on owners of slot machines.

Mrs. Grace Sutten Powell of San
Francisco, representing the National
Y. W. C. A. in this state, explained
the work of the organization. Ques-
tions were asked and answered and
all present were insistent that there
was great need of the all-around ac-
tivities which the association could
supply, and that this spring was the
time to get this work under way.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that there should be an attempt made
to have two-week camp for high
school girls in the mountains of the
county, and just as great insistence
that provisions should also be made
to provide weekend rest for business
girls during the hottest part of the
summer. A camp committee was APP

Miniature Man
Denounces U.s.;
Mind Questioned

Standing on the corner of main
street in Brawley and shouting at the
top of his voice, Down with the gov
ernment," "ro h with the law" and
many other similar remarks, has led
to the arrest and investigation of the
mental condition of one Ernest Wo-
notney, aged 40 years, who stands
exactly 8 feet and 6 inches high.
Charges of insanity have been
lodged against the dwarf and he is in
the county hospital undergoing medi-
cal treatment.
1t is thought that the man was part
of the circus that appeared in this
city a few days ago and for some
reason or other became separated
from the organization.
Owing to the frequent appearance
of Superintendent Adams. who stands
feet and inches and the dwarf, the
inmates of the hospital have expressed
their intention of putting on a Mutt
and Jeff performance and the popular
superintendent has come in for large
amount Of kidding" along this line
