Wants To Glue
Himself Up
(By Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES. July 9.-Jack
Johnson, ex-wOrld champion prize
fighter, in a telephone call from Tia
Juana offered to surrender to the
United States officers here. They
refused to make the bargain.
United States Marshal Hall said
that Johnson offered to cross the in
ternational line and surrender him
self if assured that he would be im-
mediately taken to Chicago where
there was an indictment against him
on the charge Of violating the Mann
act. He further demanded that at no
time should he be handcuffed or
treated as a prisoner. Hall told
Johnson that he could please himself
about crossing the international line
but that if he did so and was arrested
he would be treated exactly the same
as any other person for whom the
government held warrant.

Valley Pennants
Ready For You

That Ell Centro and Imperial Valley
will be well represented on the coast
and in fact where ever local motorists
go this summer, is attested to by the
rapidity with which the new auto
pennants are selling.
Some few weeks ago the Associated
Chambers of the valley determined
upon this novel as we'll as effective
plan of outside advertising with the
result that hundreds of Imperial
Valley pennants are doing their bit
towards boosting this community.
The pennant is attractive in design
and has a red background with raised
letters in brown, altogether a very
pleasing combination. The pennants
may be had at the chamber of COM
merce, Coggin's garage and machine
shop or at Varney Bros. Fifty cents

sents the entire cost to any purchaser

MEXICAN MON 7 {
CARLO: TO CLOSE

From all present indications the
widely known Owl will close its doors
on September l and according to in
formation from Baja California, Tia
Juana will also be thing of the past.
Gradually the conviction has grown
that the end of the big attractions at
MeXicali' and Tia Juana is close at
hand and the Mexican cities over the
border will have to depend upon other
attractions than those for the influx
of visitors.
This is in line with the announced
policy of Governor Cantu some time
ago to the effect that gambling and
vice would be eliminated this fall
and 1t now seems to be accepted as
fact. Already a number of dealers
are. said to be figuring on going East
and to other points about the country
where clubs offer them chance to
work. AS one expressed it, this has
been considered the last stand for open
gamblers in the whole country.
To further give color to the passing
of the open gambling in Mexico. is the
raid on big gambling house IN No
gales, Mexico, a few days ago by the
military, under orders from General
Obregon and the arrest of visitors and
confiscation of the bank roll. This is
said to be the policy of the Mexican
| federal administration as we'll as the
personal policy of Governor Cantu.
In discussing the matter citizen
of Mexico said that gambling was
not permitted by the constitution
and that it was generally understood
that those at present in power would
enforce this section of the law all over
the republic. 1t was pointed out that
Mexicali and Tia Juana were about the
only points now on the border where it
obtained and this was done only be-
cause the revenue was needed for the
support of the government and the car
rying out of the many expensive inn
provements made and under way or in
prospect.
On the other hand, there are some
who profess to believe that there will
be a change and that the concerns
named will be allowed to continue.
What this is based on is not known.
The same theory was advanced regard
ing the closing ofthe five saloons Just
across the border. and some yet con-
tend that they will reopen, but this
view is not shared by saloon men
themselves apparently, for they are
closed and seeking other business op-
portunities.
What will be done with the big new
Owl building is of course not known,
but it is so well located that it will be
good investment and will not be a
dead loss.-Calexico Chronicle.

AMERICAN BOYS To
ATTEND MEETING c

NEW YORK, July 9.-From all
parts of the United States happy, eag-
er-eyed Boy Scouts are hurrying to
New York, or have already arrived,
bent on the biggest joy event that ever
came to group of American boys. 1t
is big group, too, some 800 of the
pick of the nations boyhood, for they
are the Boy Scouts of America who,
through rigid competition, have been
chosen to represent their various COM
munities at the great convention of the
Boy Scouts Of the world in England,
with trips through Belgium and over
the battlefields of France thrown in.
That, you'll say, is enough to make
any boy happy and eager-eyed.
For three months there has been
the liveliest sort of competition among
the nearly 100000 registered members
of the Boy Scouts of America in all
states and territories, most of the H.
682 roops naturally struggling for the
honor of having one of it's members
represent the United States in the
first international scout contest. Thir-
ty-four nations are sending large dele
cations, invited by the British Boy
Scouts. The demonstrations will be
held in the stadium at Olympia, near
London.
First to Arrive Came Farthest
The first American delegate to ar
rive in New York had the longest dis
tance of any to travel. He is Ezra
Crane of Troop TX. Honolulu. He is
18 years old and is an Eagle Scout with
q of the merit badges given by the
Row Scouts Of Anoorico orUapizatiou
for special achievements. He came
alone from Hawaii and says he started
"good and early" to make sure that
he wouldn't miss the boat in New
York. He brought 1000 of those bril-
liantly colored "leis" that the natives
use as farewell tokens by placing
around their necks. Scout Crane says
they will come in handy for giving an
Hawaiian flavor to the American part
Of the world pageants which are to be
given in connection with this Boy
Scouts of the World "Jamboree,' as
the British boys call it.
