SOUND ADVICE.

For many years my earthly lot.
From troubles was exempted,
When Uncle Ezra told me not
To let myself be tempted.
I little knew the value then
OF the advice he gave me.
But time and time and time again
Ny Uncle's words have saved me.
A cop once said to me. Brush by"
/ turned my nose up smugly.
Although / must admit that I
Was tempted 10 get ugly.
He slugged the next man that he
met
And took him 20 the station,
And was very glad. you bet.
l fought against temptation.
A gentleman / barely knew,
And at whose nerve | wondered,
Once asked me quite abruptly TO
Advance him fifteen hundred
He tempted me-but heart I took.
And cried, My means forbid it"
And since I've learned ne was a
crook.
I'm rather glad did il.
When tempted once 10 take a drink.
My Uncle's maxim welded
It's saving power hate 10 think
That I so nearly yielded.
The stuff was methyl alcohol
And persons less stout hearted,
Who fell for it, are one and all
Among the dear departed,

INSPECTION Of
CITY Gas MAINS
MADE OFFICIALLY
City Councilman J. L. Traueys,
City Clerk Van Way, Frank
Richmond, Engineer Bcrkiey
Examine Test Pits on Gas
Mains.

A tour of inspectors of over dozen
test pits to examine the pipe Of the
defunct Imperial Valley Gas Company
was. made yesterday by City Clerk
Walter Van Way, Councilman j. L.
Travers, Frank Dichmond, plumber,
Engineer L. M. Berkeley, who has been
employed by the city to place valu-
alton on the plant and q representa-
tive of The Press.
A majority of the pipes inspected
were in good condition. Some Of these
were on the extensions put down in
recent years and were in excellent
condition.
On the old system the larger pipes
were found in fair shape. One or two
of the smaller pipes which had lain
in wet ground were in such shape that
OF would be impossible to tell how
long in the future they would be SER
viceable.
After the examination was over the
sentiment seemed to be that a more
thorough examination would be nee
essary before en- accurate opinion
could be given. Some sections of pipe
will be removed so that the inside may
be examined.
Engineer Berkley will make his re-
port within a few days.

DEATH THREAT
IN LII T O|:
N 4 7 LOCK
IGNORED
Chief of Police Refuses to
Take Serious Notice of
Blackhand Origin; Hindu
Radicals Believed Guilty
of Sending Letter.

An attempt on the life of Chief Of
PCiice Dave MatlOck, of this city,
will he made by radicals or Reds to-
morrow night, according to 4 poor
ly scribed note received by the chief
this morning.
On receiving his mail, arriving on
eight O'Clock train, his attention was
attracted to soiled and ruined envelope
2ostnarked Imperial.
The inscription en- it was:
''to the chief of Police, FL Centro.'
He at once opened the letter and
on one side of small piece of wrap
ping paper was scrawled:
my gang will get you chief of E.
Centro."
On the other appeared:
"The man of mistry, the blood Of
Linnie will on Saturday night anc
you shall die"
AS signature there appeared al
the bottom, an i'll shaped heart, with
a knife drawn through it, and spots
of blood dripping from it.
The writing was very poor and look
ed like that of an East Indian, OF
Hindu, according to Sheriff Applestill
who was consulted by Chief Matlock.
On the paper appeared the heading
'Los Angeles, Calf" and typewriter
beneath it was the date, "Oct. 20.'
The envelope dated October 21 from
Imperial.
Chief Matiock stated this morning
he had no idea whom might be Sc
sponsible for the message and could
offer no solution. He could not recall
to his mind any incident that might
warrant such an attack on his life.
When asked what his position in the
case would be he said"I have nothing
to say and l AN NOT going to leave
town."
It is believed that Hindu radicals
are responsible, but the word, 'Len-
ME- leads others to believe that it is
Russian OF MeXican5 that are implicat-
ed in the affair.
According to reports from Mexica,
the Russian soviet regime has thickly
massed the laborers of Mexico and are
now, no doubt, attempting further
harm on this side of the international
line.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22.-Hurling
broadside after brcadside into the
ranks CT those who favor allowing the
Japanese to continue to hold land in
California, Senator James d. Phelan
last night received the endorsement Of
a large audience in the Long Beach
auditorium when he made the state
n:ent that 81 would rather see Japan
irritated than California sacrificed"
The senator answered every argu-
ment of his opponent reative to the
protection of California industries and
cited the senatorial record to show
that he had voted for every measure
tending to prevent international war
fare and to advance the interest of
eX-service men. At noon the senator
addressed large gathering Of busi-

QUESTIONS
ASKED HIM
Takes Time However to Viii
lily The Press for Inquir-
ing into His Past Record j;
Crowds Disappointment
to C. 0. p. Leaders.

Samuel Shortridge, republican
candidate for the senate, yesterday
demonstrated that the way he ans
wers embarrassing questions is to
viliify those who have addressed
him.
Instead of answering questions
which have been propounded in The
Press concerning his past record Mr..
Shortridge contented himself with
villifying the paper and attempting to
belittle it. But one question did he
discuss in any form and this one very
briefly. This was the fact that he
had acted as attorney for Abe Ruef,
political CRATER in 1906.
In his address at the Tulane theatre
last evening he admitted the charge,
and then when he sensed the chill
sweeping over the rather small audi
once, hastened to half excuse himself
by saying that he had done it because
Abe's mother and sister had asked
him. Then he Immediately changed
the subject and continued to denounce
The Press, which seemed to be his
favorite indoor sport last night.
Yesterday afternoon at CaleXico af-
ter he had excused himself for doing
so he proceeded to explain to Calexico
people what he thought of this paper.
Silence greeted his supposedly most
telling shots and after some more
rrCfuse apologies he returned to his
set speech.
Silence at the Tulane last night
proved a damper to his activities and
the only time he got a laugh was
when he started out by saying "now
am going to tell you about an editor
in your town" and again at the end
when he invited the editor to lunch
with him in Washington next March
A. This last brought a big laugh from
nearly everyone in the house. most of
them realizing how visionary this
dream was.
In direct contrast to the gentleman
" way in which Senator James ID,
Phelan referred to his opponent dur
ing his recent successful visit in the
Valley, Mr.. Shortridge last night
launched into trade against the
senator's money, against the fact that
Senator Phelan had been born with
a silver spoon in his month, against
the truly non-partisan campaign which
the senator is conducting. Not con-
tent with attacking Senator Phelan
from practically all angles, he made
the insinuation that the senator with
his money was purchasing the support
of the various papers throughout the
state.
Mr.. Shortridge's tour throughout
the Imperial Valley was not the sue
cess that his republican hackers would
have wished. While at each city he
was met by a fair crowd enthusiasm
for Samuel Shortridge appeared lack
ing. This was particularly shown by
the fact that republicans in the audi
ence would cheer his shots at the dem
ocratic party, free trade, the league of
nations and kindred subjects, yet when
