A DV|CE To
: THE COTTON
I GROWERS
American-Egyptian AssOci-
alton Issues a Warning
Statement Anent Fowler
Plan to Form Pools for
Handling the Low Grade
Crop.

Within the past ten days the cotton
growers of the Imperial Valley have
had presented to them a plan, which
and profitable way for them to real
ize on their holdings of low grade
product.
The plan is being urged by the Ed
ward M. Fowler company, well known
cotton brokers, and contemplates the
formation of pool, or rather three
pools, embracing three different
grades of cotton, and all cotton pooled
with them by the growers, was to be
haEdled through the Oakland Cotton
Mills, for manufacture into yarns fer
toWeling and like uses.
The American-Egyptian Cotton
Growers Association, of which w. S.
Stevens, J. Garnett Holmes, r. f.
Garnett C. R. Greene, Charles M.
Smith John J. Phillips, P. A. Tharald-
son, and j. c. Norton are the direct
ors, has issued statement in refer
ence to the proposed pools, asking
that the grower ''go little Slow" in
signing up contracts and to give the
matter he most serious consideration,
before signing. The statement, which
is issued for the association by Mr..
C. H. Craghorn is as follows:
'The Edw. Nj. Fowler Co. are now
contemplating an agreement with the
hort staple cotton growers of this
valley, and this matter is being very
carefully looked into bv the Arizona
American-Egyptian Cotton Growers
association, and it is suggested that
the cotton holders wait the result of
this investigation, which will take only
few days.
The Fowler Co. wants the farmers
to pool their cotton for shipment to
the mills, who will sell the cloth. etc,
made from it. Several things are to
be considered against this contract.
THE control of the cotton would
change from the owner to the mill.
2-The farmer continues to carry
the burden and pay for the operating
and costs.
3-The producer gets no money un-
til the mill sells the goods.
4--If the mills need cotton, why
don't they buy it outright?
5-Thc acceptance of this contract
would tend to weaken the market, as
the mill would be in position to Of
fer its goods cheaper in order to ges
the business. than other mills. VINO
have no similar agreement, and by so
doing the mills would not reduce its
profits.
6-The Fowler Co. has made con-
tracts with the Pima growers and is
not living up to them.

PEETE TRIAL
ENDS. BAD DAY
FOR WOMAN
(By Associated Press)


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.-Detect-
i've Sergeant Louis Canto in testify
ing for the prosecution in ;.e -eete
Mrs. Peete had told him the story con-
corning the Spanish woman and
Denton quarreling in the kitchen of
the Catalina street home, of the
wounding of the woman by Denton
The detective said Mrs. Peete and
Denton quarreled all night long, and
that when she heard a shot she went
down stairs and saw blood running
from a wound in the woman's shoulder
and the pistol bullet spinning around
in the kitchen sink.
Three big points were made by
the state in the prosecution of Mrs.
Louise Peete for the murder of Jacob
Charles Denton. Their introduction
led to the first display Of nervousness
on the part of the defendant and
when court adjourned for the day she
gave sigh of relief, her face clearly
indicating preference for the quiet
Of her Jail cell to the courtroom bat
tie.
The points scored by the state
were:
Introduction of Denton's revolver
which the state claims was used to
kill him.
Testimony by Denton's nephew,
Paul Aument, concerning Mrs, Peete's
statement about Denton's quarrel with
the mysterious Spanish woman.
Concluding testimony establishing
the corpus delicti.
In addition to these points the testi-
mony OF Mrs. Paul Aument, Denton's
niece, was the most damaging the
state has introduced. 1t remained un-
shaken in a bitter crosse examination
and when she left the stand the state
prosecutors clearly expressed their
jubilation.
Mrs. Aument identified the belt
buckle found on the body as one
which she had selected for her uncle
She also told of conversations with
Mrs. Peete in which she asked the
defenGSnt about the rent she was
suppo I'd to pay for the Catalina
street home. Mrs. Peete told her that
she had made different arrangements
with Denton and was using the rent
money in making improvements on
the property. She also said that
Denton had authorized her to sell the
house.
The most damaging testimony given
by Mrs. Aument was found in her
statement that Mrs. Peete had re-
quested her to write letter to Den
tons daughter, Frances, and asked
her not to start an investigation into
Denton's disappearance.

Mark Rose Brings Back
from Washington Most
Cheering Bit of News. But
Little Doubt ApprOpria-
ton be Made.

Little opposition to the appropria-
tion of an adequate sum for the con-
struction Of the All American Canal
is anticipated in the next session of
the legislature was the announcement
given out by Mark Rose this morning
in the first interview granted since
his return from Washington sunday,
where he has been in conference with
members of the various committees
and directors of governmental offices,
securing affidavits and dispositions to
be used in the Injunction proceedings
brought against the irrigation dis
tr;ct by the Mutual Water Company
to restrain them from paying $4,000
to the Laguna Water Company, Of
which Mark Rose is president and
leading stockholder.
While in Washington during the
past two weeks Mr. Rose met many of
the leading figures. in national poll
tics and was re-assured at c-rSy point
that the new administration was in
favor of heavy reclamation program
and that the construction of the All
American Canal would be among the
first matters taken no.
Judge Kincaid, father of the re-
clamation bill. calling for survey Of
the Imperial Valley and an investiga-
ton of the Colorado River project,
was one of the first men interviewed
by Rose. He told Mr.. Rose that
President-elect Harding has expressed
himself favorable to western land
reclamation and that congress was in
accord with the administration.
With the rehabilitation of our west
ern country continually before con-
gress and the soldier settlement bills
floodnf the floors of the House and
the Senate the legislature can do little
other than pass favorably on the
measure was the belief expressed by
Rose
The development of electric power
to take the place of the coal and gas
is also playing an important part in
the sentiment expressed in Washing
ton, he said. A power plant at
Boulder Dam, such as being consider
ed by the Reclamation Service, would
provide sufficient electricity to supply
Southern California, New Mexico and
part of Colorado with power, he
pointed out. All this the engineers
have pointed out in their report which
is soon to be presented to Congress
for consideration.
The report, as compiled by Chief
Engineer Schlect, Engineer Gault and
others has been completed and was
ready for the printer at the time
Rose left Washington. He was as

PRISONER IN
JAIL ALLEGED
TRAIN BANDIT

Tucker Terhune, alias Harold -
bert Terhune, % years old, arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Sam Griffin for
burglarizing three houses at Bonds
Corner on January is wanted by the
Federal authorities at Washington for
train robbery under the name of Jack
A. Wilson, according to the informa-
ton given out by Sheriff Applestill
and Dave Gershon, of the Uepar-ment
of Justice, who arrived in Ell Centr-
yesterday. The man was identified
by finger prints on file in Sacramento.
The man was arrested following a
thrilling chase over the desert. His
accomplices, Harvey Hamel n d
Joseph Piva, arrested in connection
with the valley robberies are not iden-
titled with the train robbery, it was
said
Gcrshon has received no informa-
tion as to the time or place of the
alleged robbery. The personal letter
received by him from headquarters
stated nothing other than man
known as Jack A. Wilson, whose real
name is Harold A. or Tucker A. Ter
hume was wanted by that office for
holding up a train. Two other men
assisted with the job, it said, and
they have been taken into custody.
"And the department is desirous of
information on the man now being
held by Sheriff Applestill," the letter
concluded.
1t is believed that the information
leading to the identity of Terhune
was furnished by the two men now
being held by the Department of
Justice and who are alleged to have
aided him in the robbery.
When examined by Gershon and
Sheriff Applestill at the county Jail
this morning Terhune denied the
charge. More convincing evidence
was thrown at him when he suffered
and refused to talk and finally said,
81 don't admit anything, you will
have to prove it on me-"
He was made to sign his names
"Jack Wilson," Tucker Terhune'
and Harold Terhune," and in each
case they compared exactly with the
evidence in hands of the authorities
Mail coming to the county Jail from
his mother is addressed Harold L.
Terhune" which colaborates again
with federal information.
Il am satisfied that we have in our
custody one of the most looked for
highwayman and rob0er in the coun-
try" said Gershon, "and the evidence
we have against him is as convincing
as any | have handled. l understand
Sheriff Richard Veale was here some
time ago looking intH the case. Ev-
| identity he is wanted in other parts OF
the country also" 81, .t.
Terhure was discharged from the
navy dishonorably under the name OF
Jack A. Wilson, it is stated by the
! officers.
