BOXERS TO SHOW
FOR IRISH FUND

"The wearin' O. the green" by the
workers and the natural bread winners
in Ireland is taking its toll of the lives
of the women and children faster than
the machine guns of the crown forces
can wipe out republican" meeting.
There is dire distress among the
women and children of Ireland, and
thousands are in need of food and
clothing. The whole of the United
States has been engaged for weeks in
collecting funds for the relief in Ire
land. The Imperial Valley has done
a bit along this line, but not so much
as it ought to, and now there is an op-
portunity for the big hearted sporting
element to lend it's aid.
In the Owl arena at Mexicali Sum
day there is to be 15-round scientific
boxing match between Lee Morrisey
and Chet Neff, those two fast, skllful
box-fghters for the benefit of the
fund. The entire proceeds will go for
the relief of the starving women and
children of Ireland. T. j. West, the
head of the T. j. West company, of
Calexico, is in charge of the affair,
and he promises worth while exhi-
bition. The tickets are only $1.5O and
there are several hundred people in FL
Centre who are admirers of the manly
art, that can well afford to spend this
amount for great and worthy cause

I A Il ERS
MUST CUT
HARDING
SAYS
Washington Administration
Starts Drive to Secure Re
duction in Costs to Con-
sumner of All Necessaries
of Life. 80 gXTEl
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The
Harding administration is using pit
iless publicity" as club to beat dowr
retail prices.
Regularly and almost unanimously
cabinet officers and other holding I'M
portant places declare that retail
prices are higher than the prices of
raw materials warrant and that the
unwillingness of the retailer to reduce
is contributing to industrial stagna-
ton. These statements are maoe in
speeches, talks with newspapermen or
in other ways that will bring them be-
fore the consuming public.
The apparent aim of the effort is:
First, to convince the retailer THAI he
must reduce prices for his own good,
as we'll as for that of other classes,
and second, to drive home to the buy
ers that they can get lower prices if
they demand them often and force
fully.
President Harding himself started
the drive in his message to congress
when he declared retail prices were
too high and suggested congressional
investigation.
Since then the Federal trade COM
mission has issued report on which
the president based his statement. Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace, Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover and D. r.
Crissinger, comptroller of the cur
rency, have declared in speeches that
the retailer is holding off inevitable
reductions.
Scarcely day passes that the retail
price reduction doctrine is not laid be
fore newspapermen.
Correspondents went to see w. P. G.
Harding, Governor of the Federal Re
serve board. Harding declared that re-
tail price reductions mad in many
cases not kept pace with those of raw
materials. He cited the case of a re-
taller who made $50 per cent on drv
goods after the jobber's price was re-
duced.
The same correspondents went to
see Attorney General Daugherty who
made similar statements.
Those Shoes" said Daugherty, II
paid $3.50 for a pair like that last
year. A similar pair cost $3.50 this
year, but with the present price of
hides, the retailer might easily have
made more on this pair than the $3.50
pair"
Assistant Attorney General Goff
then said he bought q hat for $15 in
New York last year.
II got one just lik. 1t for Sc this
year" he said. "The dealer explained
that he couldn't get SIS for them"
That's it," Daugherty said. "Three
housewives with powe:-, Tor positive
conversation can do more to convince
retailer he should reduce prices than
this whole department"

TODAY is FRIDAY
18TH OF ILL OMEN

Have you taken heed of your move
ments today?
This is Friday, the 18th, ill-omened
day of history and prophecy.
If you haven't met with some calam-
ity so far, there is yet time for old
Bad Luck to get in his deadly work.
The day doesn't end until midnight.
1t is claimed by the initiated and
the superstitious that III Luck will dog
your footsteps all day. And others,
not so strong in the belief, admit that
Dame Fortune is just a wee bit more
elusive today than at other times.
Look out for Black Cats, Spilled
Salt, Walking Under Ladders, and all
other signs and portents.
The day is yet young.

DRY ELECTION WITH
VERY LIGHT VOTE

CALEXICO, May ia special
election is being held here today when
the voters of the city will decide
whether or not a prohibition enforce
ment ordinance shall be passed by the
city trustees. The election was called
by the trustees after the ordinance
had twice met with strong opposition
from some of the councilmen who OBJ
jected to it's passage on the grounds
that the people of this city do not want
such measure, having voted strongly
against the state amendment along
the same line at the last general cleo
tion.
An exceptionally light vote is being
polled Mayor Abbott and City ClerK
Steintorf advocate the approval of the
ordinance, on the ground that only
under such law can the city prose
cute violators Of the Volstead Act and
reap the benefits of fines which will
accrue.

WASHINGTON, May 13--Railroads
iof the country are not in position to
indulge in experiments involving re-
such action would increase their reve-
nues, according to testimony given be-
fore the Senate Interstate Commerce
Commission today by julius Krutt-
schnitt, head of the Southern Pacific
system.
Senator Townsend of Michigan in
quired whether the witness believed
that the increases in rates last sum-
mer had had disastroa5 effect upon
the revenues of the carriers.
81 don't think they had any appre-
eiable effect at ALL" replied Mr..
kruttschnitt. 'The increase in rates
was given at time when business was
on the decline and prices were falling"
Defense of existing transportation
charges was made by the witness
when senator Townsend said there was
a question in his mind as to whether
the rates had not discouraged the
movement of traffic, and that high
retail prices was not an excuse for
overcharges by the railroads.
81 do not thing the present rates
constitute an overcharge," replied Mr..
Kruttschnitt.
Queried as to how the railroads
were going to reduce expenses, the
witness asserted that the greatest re-
lief to be given the railroads was per-
mission to reduce wages to the basis
paid for similar work in outside in
dustries. Any idea that great savings
could be brought about by improved
operating methods, was Incorrect, he
declared, because most of the time and
money-saving devices possible in rail-
road operation had already been put
into effect.

TO ERADICATE
DREAD CATTLE
DISEASE HERE
Farm Bureau Head Arranging
for ReNHiar Course of Treat
Ment of Dairy Herds.

Cattle diseases which are prevent
able have been costing the dairymen
and ranchers of the Imperial Valley
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually is broad, but absolutely true
statement, according to the officials
Of the Farm Bureau and the Dairy
mems association.
The chief of these diseases is con-
tagious abortion and in order to show
the dairymen and cattle raisers how
to control, cure and prevent this dis
ease, Farm Adviser Z. L. Garthwaite
through the kindness Of Walter Du-
pee, the famous Guernsey breeder. Sc
cured the services of DR.. A. J. Wood
side, the leading veterinarian and spe-
cialist in the disease in this country,
to give a series of lectures and DEM
onstratiors throughout the valley.
These demonstrations held last week
were largely attended and of incalcul-
able benefit to the dairymen and stock
raisers
That the good work done by DR..
Woodside may not be lost to the ranch
ers of the valley it is planned, says
Mr.. Garthwate, to get about dozen
dalrymen to volunteer to put their
herds under the supervision of DR..
Woodside to- clean the herds of con-
tagious abortion or abortion diseases.
DR.. Woodside absolutely rid the ia
nous Guernsey herd of Dupee's in San
Diego county and his lectures and DEM
onstrations here last week convinced
local dairymen of his unusual ability.
Any dairyman who is sincerely anx-
ious to clean his herd of this dread
disease will please communicate with
the Farm Advisor. court house, Ell
Centro. AS soon as the first dozen
dairymen have signifed their willing
ness to establish theirs as demonstra-
tion herds, the farm advisor will en-
deavor to get Dr.. Woodside to come
to Imperial Valley one week during
each month to work on these herds
until they are cleaned up.

D DESPERATE
bA I TIE IN
MEXICAL| |
STREET
Two Are Dead and One Dy-
ing as Result of Duel in
Front of Crowded All
Night Cafe.

Wong Chung, Chinese merchant, and
Yot Lee, hatchet man of one OF the
numerous tongs on the Coast is dead.
and Meh Wah, partner of Yot Lee, is
dying, as the result of gun and knife
battle in the Chinese quarter of Mex
cali last night.
The three men met in front of the
Paris Cafe at an early hour this morn
ing and without warning Chung drcvs
ian automatic revolver from beneath
hisssblouse and began shooting. Lee
and Wah returned the fire and the
latter attacked Chunk with hatchet-
knife, cutting his chest and sides into
ribbons.
Lee fell at the first fire with bulle;
through his head and as he well .,e
received two more shots in the clest,
either of which would have been fatal,
according to the medical report.
As Chung fell beneath the repeated
slashes of the razor-like cleaver in the
hands of Wah, he fired last shot
from his automatic which caught his
assailant below the left arm nit and
passed through his body just, above
the heart.
A crowd of police and citizen, at
tracted by the shots, rushed to the
spot, but the officers were not in tine
to interfere Wong Chung died on the
sidewalk before he could be removed
to the hospital for treatment. His
body and that of Lee were taken to
the morgue and Meh Wah is in the
hospital with but little chance of re-
covery.
The shooting grew out of an attempt
of Yot Lee and Meh Wah to collect
an alleged debt owed by Chung. 1t is
alleged that they approached him sew
eral days ago and asked for the money
and on being told that he was unable
to pay at that time they threatened
that if he did not have the money by
the next day they would carve him to
bits and throw his remains to the coy
otes of the desert and leave his bones
for the picking of the vultures.
Wong Chung, whose ethics prescribe
that his hOnored remains shall rest
with the bones of his fathers in Canton
province of China, armed himself and
at the next meeting with, the men be-
gan shooting without delay.
There were nearly 100 persons in
the restaurants in the vicinity, while
the battle to the death was going on,
who were panic stricken, many of
them being Americans from valley
, towns.

GASOLINE Is
CUT2CENTS
PER GAL.
TO-DAY !.
Great Output of Crude Oil
and SubnOrmal Demand
Causes Standard Oil Com
pany to Make Reduction.

A reduction of two cents a gallon
in the market price of gasoline and OF
25 cents barrel for fuel oil, effective
today, was announced in San Francis
co last night by the Standard Oil Co.
of California.
The field price the comr~ny will pay
for all grades of crude oil also will be
reduced 25 cents barrel.
"The economic condition which has
brought about these reductions is the
recent increase in production of crude
oil, coupled with slackened demand,
which, if continued, will result in q
large SURPLUS" the company an
nounced at is estimated that the in
creased supply of crude oil is no ang-
er than would have been needed 70
take care Of normal demand if con-
sumption of petroleum products had
continued to increase at the rate es-
tablished in 1920"
A reduction of two cents gallon
in the price of gasoline was put into
effect this morning at all Standard Oil
stations in the Imperial Valley.
Authority for this statement is 0.
L. Davis, district manager for the
Standard Oil company.
The price of motor car fuel today
to service stations therefore, will be
27 1-2 cents a gallons, as compared
to 20 1-2 cents, the figure at which
gasoline ha S been sold to them here
for several, months
The two cent reduction, Mr.. Davis
said, would affect all Sta-:;,ard Oil sta
tiOnS in hiS territory in tha I'm pari q |
Valley.
The price to auto trucks and tract
ors is 2S 1-2 cents and to gas engine
plants, ETC., 20 1-2 cents.
1t is estimated that the reduced
price will save the motor ear owners
of the valley $4,000 per day.

Neither Salt Lake or Vernon has, as
yes, won series. The former has lost
three and tied one, while the Vernon
ties have lost two and tied three. Port
land, the tail enders, at least has a
series won to its credit, but it has four
series lost charged against it. San
Francisco has taken four out of five
series, Los Angeles being the only
club able to take their measure thus
far
Last season the teams started off
more evenly punched than they are
this year but the indications are tha.
there is more potential strength in 4
number of the present clubs so that
surprises are more in order than they
were in 1920. We have not yet reached
the "slumping" season which is q fac

to be reckoned with
