A comparison of total battleship
forces available N 1920 with 1910
shows that this year there are Is
dreadnoughts and 10 p%redread-
noughts, excluding the Oregon class,
against 20 pre-dreadnoughts in 1910,
including the Oregon class. Most of
the battleships listed as available in
1910 are now considered obsolete.
Ten years ago the navy destroyer
force consisted Of about 3S vessels,
including II torpedo boats even then
practically absolete. This year Ad-
mand destroyer forces a~ggregating
more than 200 vessels, with over 100
more in reserve or under construc-
tion. In 1910. 16 submarines were
carried on the active list Of the navy
This year nearly 100 Of the sub
mersibles are attached to the two
fleets, with about IS more under
construction.
The. cruiser strength Of the nav
has shown little change in the past
ten years. In 1910 the backbone OF
the cruiser force was the big eight
armored cruisers, now reduced to six
by the loss of the San Diego and the
Memphis. No light cruisers of i'm
p~ortance have been launched in the
last decade.
One of the most striking increases
in American naval strength in the
past ten years has been In auxiliary

NWR| TTEN
LAW MAY Be
DEFENSE Of
YOUTH
Fred Robinson of Calexico
Goes on Trial for Murder
of His Wife's Sweetheart {;
Eternal Triangle Results
in Death.

The trial of Fred Robinson of
De la Cruz former employee of
the Imperial Valley Hardware Co.
OF that city, began this morning in
the superior court No. /.
Robinson, a husky youth of "a
summers, sat unmoved through the
mornings proceedings while his wife,
with eyes red from weeping, sat by
his side. Robinson shot De le Cruz
because of his alleged relations with
Mrs. Robinson.
Although there is said to be q con-
fession in the hands off the state. the
defense this morning gave no inkling
Of what the line of defense would be.
1t is expected that the unwritten
law will, however, be what the defense
places it's confidence in to secure the
freedom of Mr.. Robinson
Sitting in tn courtroom, robed in
black, was Mrs. De Ia Cruz, an attrac-
tive American girl, and widow Of the
slain man.
Sensational evidence is expected
when the prosecution rests its case.
During the questioning of jurors this
morning District Attorney E. R.
Simon dwelt at length on the phrase
""justifiable homicide"
Most of the morning was taken up
in selecting a jury. The attorneys for
both sides had very difficult time in
getting a jury that suited them. The
jury was finally selected and the first
witness was DR.. F. w. Peterson,
county coroner. The doctor testified,
that he had examined De la Cruz
after death and found that death was
caused by gun shot from a revovler
of not more than 80 caliber size. Dr..
A. D. Rice of Calexico was the next
witness, testifying that he had beer
called to give aid to De la Cruz and
had found him laying on the side walk
unconscious. Also that he had died
about an hour and hall after he had
been called.
The courtroom was filled to capaci-
ty with the relations of Robinson and
his friends. The niv5: noticeable
feature among the spectators was the
number of women and girls present.
The case has many peculiarltles
which do not present themselves at
most murder trials. The defense will
probably try to establish the fact that
the defendant was afflicted with tenn
porary insanity and tnereoy not re-
sponsible for his deed in case the un-
written law is not used.
Robinson is a rather nice looking
young fellow. He has been in Calex-
leo for about four years and during
that time has acquired a very favor
able reputation.
The attorneys for the defense are
Ault and Oliver. Those for the state
are District Attorney Simon and
Deputy Scott.
