PASADENA. Cal, Dec. 31.-Har- ward and Oregon university football squads tapered off their training to- day for the east vs. west football game here tomorrow. Bot hteams did enough work to keep them in condi- ton. Coaches expressed satisfaction with the condition of their men. To all appearances Harvard players lost a little weight without sacrifice of con- dition in training here. while Oregon players laid on a trifle of flesh, this tending to equalize the weight of the opponents.
 The weather today. was cooler and more like that tho Harvard players have been accustomed to. The predic- tion for tomorrow is fair and cool The game has created the greatest interest yet shown in the annual east west classic here. Every one of the more than 33,000 seats in the Tourna- ment of Roses park has been sold. Coaches Fisher of Harvard, and Huntington of Oregon, today an- nounced their line-ups for New Years day.

Accuses Widow of Murdermg Brown
: CRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich, Dec. 31. A statement again directing the at tention of the authorities toward Mrs. Ruth Provost Brown, widow of J. Stanley Brown, who was shot to death week ago, was made to the prose cutor and sheriff today by Mrs. Cecil Tester, who was brought here this morning under a warrant charging murder.
 After a lengthy examination the sheriff reiterated his beleif that Mrs. vester did not kill the young man, but stated she would be held temporarily owing to her apparent intimate knowl- edge of Browns affairs.
 Sheriff Caldwell said Mrs. vester told the officers that Mrs. Brown had once attempted to buy poison at a drug store here. The sheriff quoted the Vester woman as saying that Mrs. Brown intended the poison for her husband.
 Mrs. vester stated she was with Brown when his will was drawn up last Thanksgiving day. Brown told her later, she said. that he planned to add a codcil providing that if he died suddenly payment should be withheld from his wife until circumstances of his death were cleared up.
 Browns will was filed today. The home was bequeathed to his widow and the income equally to Mrs. Brown and the elder daughter.

 IL is the theory of the defence that Miss Lesser broke the engagement inn mediately and that New, enraged. shot his fiance. Miss Clancy said her con- versation with Miss Lesser occurred only a few hours before the latter s death.
 George Gallagher, county 1ailer, said he thought New was insane at times.'
 II. l.. Anderson of Venice, a nearby beach resort, testified that New att tempted to borrow S100 from him to defray the expenses of marrying Miss Lesser and he lent him $10 fo. this supposed purpose a few hours before News fiance was killed. This witness said New was insane in his opinion.
 Several others testified briefly they considered New mentally unbalanced. Mildly insane 'irrerational," and irresponsible" were some of the de- scriptive terms used.

DAIRY TALKS
Start the New Year right-make a resolve to own an efficient
 dairy herd before
NO. 67
1921. Share in the prosp. 1920 by owning a dairy her

The year of 1920 promises to show greater results in dairying than in other lines of agri- cultural endeavor. This is predicted by the universal interest which is being shown by farmers and business men generally, and the plans that are being made for improving dairy stock, and the foundations for new herds that have been laid.
 During the year 1919, it was necessary to reconstruct many industries as after the war conditions made themselves felt. This was especially true of the dairy industry. The cow population of the world had been decreased far more in proportion than the human popu- lation, and the principle source of supply of dairy products had shifted from European countries to the United States.
 Europeans have always been big consum- CTS of dairy products, and as a result, one of the greatest industries was the production of great quantities of dairy products, much of which was exported to the United States. 1t is now almost impossible to purchase any inn ported cheeses, and will never again be pos sible as far as former conditions are con- cerned, as the demand far exceeds the sup ply in the Scandinavian countries, Holland, Switzerland and Italy from whence most of the supply was exported.
 This alone places a load upon the dairy men of the United States in addition to further demands for products, caused by increased knowledge of the food value of milk and cream.
 It can readily be seen that the dairy busi ness is only in its infancy, and the farmer who goes into the business a solid foundation will reap profit for all the years to come, which canot be approached by any other farm endeavor. In other words, solid and substantial market at excellent prices for every ounce of butter fat produced, with no possibility for many years if ever, of there being an overproduction.
 Dairymen from other states are making strong endeavors to get into the dairy busi- ness in the Salt River valley on account of the ideal climatic conditions that obtain here, and are receiving more encouragement than for merly because of the fact that land owners realize that the real hope of prosperity for the valley lies in diversified farming and dairying. This belief is concurred in by bankers and business men and every assist ance will be given the farmer who desires to embark in the dairy business.
 Let this department assist you in getting into the dairy business.
 Our farm experts are practical men who KNOW BY DOING" just how best to care for stock and arrange crops, buildings and all other farm matters. They will be glad to as- sist any farmer or dairyman free of charge.

BODY CAST ON BEACH
NOT THAT OF MIKEDIS

Louis Mikedis has returned from
San Diego where he went to view the
body washed up at Coronado. but he
found that it was that Of his missing
brother, John. With this further dis
appointment, the Mikedis boys do not
know what other turn to make.
A well known local man, a Greek
friend of John Mikedis, said that he
did not believe John had met with
foul play.
"There was some friction among
the brothers." he said 81 believe John
simply took his share of the money in
sight and left, as the easiest solution
of the trouble. l do not believe he is
dead at all, and think he took this
means of eliminating himself from
the firm.
AS John kept the books, no one
knows just what amount he may have
secured before leaving is unknown but
it is believed that in this event, if he
did take this action, he only took
what belonged to him, as he was a
man of scrupulous honesty.

CLAIM EMPLOYERS
UNDERPAID THEM

With the closing Of the harvest sea-
son numerous hort-payment charges
are pouring into the district attorneys
office. A Mexican. Portuguese, and a
German-Swiss, all coming from diff
ferent parts of the valley, all gathered
at one time in the office of the district
attorney, all of them with claims
against employers who, they said, had
under paid them.
According to Assistant District At
torney Don Bitter all laborers who
have been underpaid need but to prove
that by the wage scale fixed by a
verbal agreement with their employ
ers they have been underpaid and they
will receive their claims. The law also
says that labOrers are entitled to the
customary wage paid for their kind
OF work, so that the underpayment of
help seems an almost hopeless hope
less hope on the part Of the employ
ers to swindle their employees.

the lead, neither yacht had yet rounded
the outer mark-15 miles from the

breeze freshens they may not be able
to cover the rest of the course within

POLICE CHIEF
Rumors of Bootlegging and
Gambling Leads to- Thorough
Inspection of T0lUn Mo
Truth in Rugaors, Says Chief.

| According to the police department
there are a number Of reports around
town that Ell Centro Is a wide open
town, that every soft drink stand in
town is selling liquor land that there
are gambling games every night. The
few people who are giving out these
department knows all about the Of
fenses, but will not act against it.
When Chief of Police Dave Matlock
returned home yesterday and heard
the rumors, he decided to satisfy the
gossips, and he made a very thorough
investigation Of every suspicious look
ing soft drink stand in the city, and
of every place wherein there might
be gambling Of any kind. The chief
found to his own satisfaction, and to
the satisfaction of others, that the
town was absolutely clean. There was
no soft drink stand which was dispos-
ing of liquor.
The following is a statement from
the chief: There are a few people
who stand on the street corners and
criticize the police department, saying
that they know OF the selling of liquor
anu VI SdiHUlHlS. II CIicSc SAME peO-
pie will come to me and tell me where
the offenses are being committed, in
stead Of standing off and criticising,
will guarantee that the breaking OF
the law will stop. l took these few in
my office last night and not one Of
them could prove that he knew what
he was talking about. want the
people to know that the town is now
more free from lawlessness and crime
than ever before, and that every police
officer under me has explicit instruc-
tions to arrest any one found break
ing any law" 'sA = .
Chief Matlock, while on the coast,
acquired a number of new ideas for
the police department, which will be
inaugurated very soon. One of them
is the printing of a small manual,
which each police officer will carry
with him at all times. The manuals
contain all the duties of a police Of
ficer and what to do under certain
conditions. They will be of great aid
to the officers, as they give specific
instructions for every predicament.

ANXIETY FOR
ACCUSED ENDS
IN SUSPICION.
Of WITNESSES
Case of Bad Check becomes
One of Forgery AS Sus-
piciOn Is Shifted to the
Two Main Witnesses for
Defense.

One OF the most peculiar situations
in the history of Imperial courts oc.
Cured at Holtville yesterday wher
out of their. intense desire to free the
defendant in a bad check charge two
OF the principal witnesses for the de.
Tense were held for investigation on
the suspicion of being forgers.
Ionnie Meade, resident of Holt
VILE, was brought to trial yesterday
charged with having written an un-
negotiable check. Meade had been
towed into Holtville by H. E. Roblyer,
and, being without money and without
check book, had borrowed check
from the night-watchman and writ.
ten out one for ten dollars to pay
Robiyer. The first check written was
not made out correctly and Meade
made out another one.
j. l.. Slayton, a boy of 16, was
with the men at the time the check
was written out, and it is now sup
posed that he picked up the first and
incorrect check, and in coalition with
his brother-in-law, J. J. johnson, the
other suspect, erased the pencillings
on the incorrectly made out check and
then passed it.
When Meade was arrested he i'm
mediately got in touch with Roblyer,
who had passed his check with no
difficulty, and thus cleared himself.
During the trial it became known that
two checks had been cashed in the
name of H. f. Roblyer, the one
proving itself to be Unacceptable at
a store in Holtville.
With this peculiar situation facing
the court the nervousness of the
young boy and the intense desire of
the older Johnson to clear Meade led
the court to look into the cases of the
two. They are now being held at the
county Jail, awaiting their examina-
tions.
In the Ell Centre courts during the
afternoon the bitter and beater of
Peter Neckles, one Marion Perkins,
colored, was given 60 days. In the
case of Setter and Livingston, Setter,
who was accused by Livingston of
having stolen his water, was given
suspended sentence of six months,
while Livingston, who assaulted Set
ger, was given a suspended sentence.
Of 60 days. Livingston claimed that
Setter had stolen his water, and that
he had gone over ito see about it."
He said that while he was remOns-
trating with Setter, Setter had made
for gun, and that then he had set
upon him and beaten him.
