Ell CENTRO LOSES
IN FAST GAME

FL Centre yesterday saw one of the
best ball games played in the winter
league series, and while the local club
went down to defeat before the husky
bunch of MeXicans from below the line
it was real ball game from start to
finish.
The final score of to in favor of
Mexicali does not begin to tell the
story Of hair raisingj plays, sharp
fielding, daring base running and the
steady all around box work done or
both sides. The locals used both of
their first string pitchers in an effort
to stop the visitors but the batsmer
from down south had their eye on the
ball all the time and seemed able to
hit at will when hits were needed. On
the other hand the mound artist from
Mexicali had the Indian sign on the
locals and had them at his mercy.
Next Sunday the two clubs will start
at CaleXico in three game series for
the championship of the valley, both
clubs now standing tied for first place.
The biggest crowd of the season
turned out at yesterdays game and
4 large number of ladies were present.

WASHINGTON, March 28.-The ST
preme court has sustained the Califor-
MIA courts in their decision growing
out Of the condemnation by the gov
ernment of North Island in San Diego
bay for use as naval aviation base
The Coronado Land company, the
owners of the ground taken, were
awarded verdict for S5,0OO,OO with
interest on that amount from the time
the use of the land was first taken
over by the Federal authorities.
The government appealed from the
award on the ground that a portion
of the land included in the award was
certain tidewater property which was
clearly the property of the Federal or
the state governments.
The decision in favor of the Coro-
nado company was handed down by
Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe and this

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Details of
the sworn testimony of alleged init
macy between Mrs. James A. Stilman
and Fred Beauvais, the Indian guide
named as correspondent in the multi
millionaire bankers divorce suit, given
at referees hearing held here were
obtained today.
The witnesses sWore to repeated in
stances of alleged misconduct between
the couple. One of them told of OBJ

er's wife and her alleged companion
together in Beauvais' room in the
Stillman lodge near Three Rivers.
New evidence bearing on the rela-
tions existing between Stillman and
Mrs. Florence Leeds, the former Choir
us girl, has been offered in the form
of an affidavit by Frank Murphy, un-
til few days ago chief steward Of
the Stillman ycaht, the Modesty.
Murphy's statement supported, it is
said, by servants still employed at
the Avignon, 270 Park avenue, where
the Stllmans have lived for several
years, declares that Mrs. Leeds was
brought to the Stillman home by the
banker last April.
Mrs. Stillman was not at that time
living at the apartment and Murphy
declares he never saw her there, but
did see Mrs. Leeds. Stillman still
makes his home at the Avignon
Murphy tells of having witnessed
scenes of intimacy between the bank
er and Mrs. Leeds in the Stillman
home and also aboard the Modesty,
where she often remained overnight.
He also details fishing trip
which was started by the yacht off
Miami, Fla, in February of this year.
Mrs. Leeds was aboard, but declared
the water was too rough to be agree
able to her, and Stillman ordered the
yacht put about and the trip aban-
dOned.
In Miami said Murphy, Mrs. Leeds
was known as ''the Widow Leeds" He
commented on her poor table manners
and expressed wonder at the hold she
had on the banker, which he attributed
to the child Jay, Jr.

ST. MARY'S CONCERT
AN ENJOYABLE ONE

An exceptionally we'll rendered sa-
cred concert presented in st. Mary's
church last evening by the church choir
was enjoyed by large and attentive
congregation.
The program was in keeping with
the Easter spirit, the story of the risen
Savior being the principal theme of
the various numbers. The choral work
showed the results of careful training
combined with no small degree of
talent, while the solo offerings of the
director, Mrs. George r. DeHaven,
and Miss Julia Grogan, were very eff
fective. Particularly pleasing were
a cornet number by Mr.. Fred Kruse,
and a violin solo by Mr.. Padden.
This was the first of series of
concerts to be given by the choir,
thereby affording the people of Ell
Centre and Imperial Valley an oppor-
tunity to enjoy music Of quality that
is seldom heard outside the churches
and cathedrals of the larger cities,
and of which it is to be hoped they
will take advantage.

and was steadily abandoning the pro
duction of cotton for diversified farm
ing and the more attractive and pros
porous life the same labor would earn
at the factory.
What is going to be the outcome?
1t is worth while to notice that this
question is regarded much more SER
iously by those students who have kept
informed regarding this revolution
going on among the cotton producers
than it is by those individuals who re-
gard the movement as merely tenn
pOrary effort to meet temporary con-
dition. You see, the farmers and THEN
friends believe that cotton is now sell
ing at less than what it would cost
to produce it and they have long been
dissatisfied at having to grow cotton
without a profit.
These things are being tremendous
ly stressed today. They forecast a
day OF reckoning in the future. Some
believe that it will mean a great and
disorganizing upheaval The writer is
inclined to the belief, however, that il
will finally result in price for cotton
that will justify its increasing produc
ton, and will, therefore, in the end,
stabilize both the price and the supply
That is what the world needs most of
all

Paper MilliOnaires Who Re-

to Pay Taxes on Profits.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 28.-In.
creased value of capital investment is
taxable under the revenue as of 1916
the Supreme court held. When the
transaction shows actual loss it could
not be taxed since there is no gain
derived.
Taxes estimated to aggregate up to
Sl0O,O 100000 are involved in action of
the Supreme court in the two cases
covering the question of whether aug
mented value Of an investment is Gin
come"
In one case the court was asked by
counsel whether the Revenue Act Of
1916 was constitutional in so far as it
is construed to tax as income capital
increment realized by the conversion
of capital investments into cash."
Thousands of individuals who had
invested in securities prior to the
world war and who, on the general ad-
vance in market prices in that period
had sold their holdings at great profit
were naturally interested in the out
come. 1t was common knowledge that
the fear of being compelled to turn
over the bulk of their profit to the
government in the form of taxes pre-
vented many paper millionaires"
from realizing on their holdings. In
cidentally, many were wiped out in the
clump which followed the signing of
the Versailles peace treaty.
The legal point involved, however,
concerned not only individuals but cor
porations and partnerships which had
invested surplus of capital in solid Sc
curities and sold them on a rising
market.
In both cases counsel argued that
"bonds are property without reference
to cost or market value; the bonds
themselves are their owners personal
capital assets and his capital interest
therein Is not limited to their cost"
The government took the stand that
"income" must be interpreted as rep
resentng any gain accruing to the
taxpayer within the period under con-
sideration. Prior to the adoption of
the 10th amendment, the court Was
told income was considered by the
government branches to include gains
and profits derived from the sale Of
capital assets.

At THESE:
HANDS
New Federal Power Com,
mission Thoroughly in
Sympathy With Needs for
Water and Electric Devel-
Opment in This Region.
Especial to The Press)

WASHINGTON, March 28.-The
personnel of the new federal power
commission as constituted through the
appointment of the new secretaries Of
war, interior and agriculture augurs
we'll for westerners who are interested
in the development of the Vests vast
power resources. in the opinion of Sen
ator Samuel M. Shortridge.
The members of the new federal
power commission are now: Secretary
Weeks of the war department, who has
been Il banker and stock broker; Sec
retary Fall of the interior department,
typical westerner with broad grasp
on the needs of the West; and Secre-
tary Wallace, of the agricultural de-
partment, who has a weathc< eye open
always for possibilities of increasing
food production through irrigation.
Senator Shortridge believes the new
commission will be able to give the
sympathetic attention to the problems
surrounding the development of water
power industries which are needed to
get the Hest results.
The senator said: "The new federal
power commission will make mark
for effective development of the coun-
try's white coaP' in the opinion of Of
fetal Washington. / doubt if three
men with more sympathetic ideas on
the work at hand could have been Sc
lected even though they were chosen
for membership on the commission
alone and not for cabinet seats as well.
This commission has control of al!
power sites in the United States that
are situated on navigable rivers and
on the public lands of the United
States. so that it doesn't take much
observation to see that a commission
hostile to water power development, or
even indifferen. could deter improve
ment to the immeasurable loss of the
country. But with three men in con-
troll who know the dwindling condition
of our oil supply and the increasing
demand for power l think the nation
can count upon something being done
that will improve the general situa-
ton. An immense project for electri-
flying the entire Atlantic seaboard
from Boston to Washington. through
the financing of super power COM
pany, is now being planned by the in
terror department. The engineers of
the department have reported that &c.
100000 kilowatt hours could be de-
veloped through the operation of this
super-p power plant which would supply
two-thirds of all the power required
in this territory for every purpose,
and save $4,000, 900 tons of coal annu-
ally for other purposes. This is in line
with work already undertaken in the
West.
The navy's troubles in securing oil
for it's fleets is cause of no little
worry as officials view the diminishing
supply and the increasing demand for
fuel oil. This increasing demand could
be cared for effectually through the
erection of additional hydro electric
plants. while oil could be saved for use
where hydro electric power is not
available.
OF course the commission functions

WAGE APPEAL
DISMISSED BY
FEDERAL BOARD
Sirty-seren Short Line Systems
Can NOW Return to Old Scale
of Pay.
(By Associated Press

CHICAGO, March 2S.-The United
States labor board this morning dis
missed the appeal for increased wages
filed last fall by Is railway labor un-
ions against 67 "short lines" through
out the country, after an extended
hearing which has been on for weeks.
This means that the railroad COM
panies may return to the old scale of
wages as soon as such scales can be
perfected and means a tremendous
saving in the operation expenses of
these lines.
The short line roads which accepted
for their men a $600.000,000 wage
award last July are not privileged to
return to the old scale by today's ac-
