HOY[EY TO STAY
IN JAIL DURING
APPEAL. Of CASE
BrdlUley Banker In Mann Act
Violation Fails of Freedom on
Point of LdlU.

Peter B. Hovley. the Brawley bank
er and rancher, must stay in Jail des-
pite, the writ of error recently al
lowed in his case by the United States
circuit court. This became known yes
terday.
Hovley recently pleaded guilty to
a charge of violating the Mann act by
bringing his niece from Chicago to
Los Angeles for an immoral purpose
and was sentenced to the Orange
county Jail for year by U. S. District
Judge Bledsoe.
The higher court denied the petition
for writ of supersedeas, which would
have allowed the release of Hovley
on bond, pending the result of his ap-
peal. Under the law in order to secure
writ of supersedeas it is necessary
to apply for writ of error within 60
days afte judgment is pronounced, anc
this was not done by the attorneys for
Hovley.
The question of appeal will come be-
fore the United States Circuit court in
October or November, on questions of
law, and in the meantime Hovley will
have served a portion of his time. If
the judgment of the lower. court is con
firmed, Hovley will have lost nothing.
as he will in the meantime remain in
Jail. If he is granted new trial on
charged flaws in the Indictment to
which he has already pleaded guilty,
Hovley will be the loser to the extent
Of the time he has served in Jail, even
if he should stand trial and be ac.
quilted.
Justices Hunt and Morrow, VINO sat
in the case, thought Hovley. as mat
ter of right, should be allowed a writ
of error. even though he had partly
satisfied the sentence of Judge Bled-
soc, paid the fine of $1,000 and had sur
rendered himself to the authorities by
going to iail at Santa Ana.

PRIME L|KKER
WAS THIS STUFF

John Bennett of Calipatria unwit-
ingly won himself a place in the Cal
ipatria hall of fame Tuesday when
he provided a number of witnesses in
Judge Harper's court with liquid lub-
rication for throats which have been
more or less parched since the enact
ment of the Eighteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States.
Bennett was on trial on a charge of
violating the country's bright, new
prohibition enforcement ordinance. 1t
was alleged that he was making whis-
key in still which was found on his
property. He denied the charge and in
order to secure a conviction District
Attorney Simon called a number of
witnesses to SIMPLE the product of the
still to determine to the satisfaction of
the court whether or not it was whis-
key When the sampling started the
district attorney had full quart of
liquor and when the testing was COM
pleted he had little more than quart
bottle. 1t was good stuff" of the
Kentucky corn variety and all of the
witnesses, and the court as well a.
greed that it was as good as any they
had sampled. Bennett was found
guilty of violating the county ordi-
nance and fined $100 by Judge Harper
One of the witnesses, a travelling
man from Los Angeles, who stated
that he could tell whiskey by the
smell and taste, was placed on the wit
ness stand by the district attorney
and Just before raising the bottle to
take his sample raised it in the direc-
ton of the august court with salu-
tation that is seldom heard in these
dry times Here's a go, Judge" An
other witness, one of the local
sleuths instrumental in ferreting cut
the still, when asked whether or not
the liquor contained in the bottle was
whiskey, replied, "It's prime likker

ASKED FOR
FURTHER
WORK
Reclamation Director Davis
Transfers His Request for
Additional Funds for the
Boulder Canyon to Irriga-
ton District.

Why Director Arthur P. Davis of
the United States Reclamation Serv-
ice wants 100000 for additional in
vestigations along the Colorado river
is somewhat of a mystery to the di-
rectors of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict and action on his request. will be
taken at meeting of the district
board tomorrow.
of Los Angeles to advance the money
for continuing the investigations, but
upon the protest of the irrigation
district he transferred the request to
Imperial Valley, which has already
spent approximately $4,000 for re-
port of the feasibility of water con-
servation and power development un-
der the provisions of the Kincaid bill.
Under the irrigation districts contract
with the department of the interior
no outside interest can become inter-
ested in these Investigations from a
financial standpoint without first OBJ
tanning the approval Of the irrigation
district. which in the case of the re-
quest for 100000 fro Los Angeles
was refused.
The irrigation district directors have
stated informally that the report sub
mitted bv Director Davis as provided
in the Kincaid bill has given them
sufficient information to convince them
the plan is feasible and that thew do
not need any further Investigations,
and upon this knowledge is based the
assumption that they will refuse to
advance any money for further in
vestigations. -..
1t has also been intimated that they
will refuse to allow any of the other
interested factions to become injected
further into the plans by advancing
money for, continuing the investiga-
tions. on the ground that it would be
unfair to everyone concerned to allow
one faction to obtain even a small
amount of hold on the proposition by
advancing money for government in
vestigations.
One of the principal matters fore
casted for tomorrow's meeting of the
irrigation board is the threshing out
of the various angles of the Boulder
Canyon opposition as the directors see
it after having listened to representa-
tives of both the Los Angeles Bureau
of Power and Light and the Southern
California Edison company in Los An
geles yesterday. All five members of
the board have announced that they
will be at the meeting and an excep-
tionally interesting session is antic-
pated

still flowing through the breaches in
the western end of the Saiz levee. The
breach of the river to the north is well
defined and is now the main river
channel, the river having abandoned
last years westerly course which it
followed towards Volcano lake. The
place of abandonment occurred due
south of Mile 16 on the Saiz levee.
This recent change to the north. fol-
lowing up all past tendencies of the
river to flow into the valley, shows
how imperative it is that the river
must be forced to the south, and the
urgent necessity for bringing about
that change at the earliest possible
time, and at an efficient and most eco
nomic location, can not be too empha-
tically impressed upon all interests
concerned l believe this most eCenc-
mic location is the cut through the
south bank cone towards the Pesca-
dero country, either through the pres
ent clearing or some point farther
east.
l know of no alternative proposal
to give effective relief against the
flood menace that can compare with
comparative cost and as to beneficial
needed conditions that will be produces
for the immediate future. The eXecu-
ton of the work will be step toward
putting the river back into its, old
channel where it should be permanent
| ly controlled in future years when the
completion of Boulder Canyon dam
will assure storage to permit of the
reclamation of additional lands on the
delta.
I After the river has been turned
south and the Ockerson levee raised
and widened, it will be necessary fer
us to undertake program OF river
Strengthening along the Ockerson and
C. d. levees. and to protect such river
training or Strengthening by confining
the channel between levees uniformly
spaced. Following the completion of
this, the next step should be to put
the river back into its old channel. The
cost of this latter, together with that
recommended to be done at this time,
is roughly estimated, as follows:

COPS TO
BEGIN CLEAN Up
OF v|0LATORS
Lights and Operators Permits
and Many Other DeWddds to
Be Inquired Into.

In emulation of Alexander the
Great the Imperial county "speed cops
are seeking new worlds to conquer and
within the next day or two they will
begin picking up motorists who are in
clined to follow the line of least re-
sstance and thereby become guilty OF
minor infractions of the California
motor vehicle act.
Cooperation between the motorcycle
squad and the justices of the peace in
Calexico' and Ell Centre has effected a
material reduction in the number 81
joy riding speeders along the county's
highways, and time is beginning to
hang heavy on the hands of the law as
represented by Deputy Sheriffs Green
wood, Mccoy and Meserve and they
are above to start campaign against
motorists who have glaring lights
spotlights which are not in conformity
with the law, persons driving cars
without operators permits and those
who forget" their registration certi-
ficates and leave them at home.
Spotlights' and operators permits
will be the principal points on which
the officers will conduct their cam
paign. The motor vehicle act provides
that spotlight must not be equipped
with a globe of more than six candle
power and that the rays must not shine
more than AZ inches above the road at
a distance of 100 feet in front of the
car. and that the light must be sta
tionary and throw its light in the di-
rection the car is moving. If it is in
use and the officers find it movable the
driver is liable to arrest.
1t is reported that there are scores
of persons, both adults and minors
driving machines in Imperial county
wro are not provided with operators
permits, and this point will be investi-
gated.
The permit can be obtained free of
charge by applying to the motor We
hicle department and application
blanks may be obtained by calling at
the office of the Auto Club of South
ern California, 759 Main street or to
any one of number of garages in
the various cities of the county.
Glaring headlights which have not
been equipped with lawful DINNERS
will be anViher cause for arrest, as
will numAer of other infractiOns of
the law which have heretofore received
little attention because the officers
have been force dto confine their activ-
tiles to curbing the ever present desire
of some motorists to "ht 'er up" when
they see a stretch of good road ahead

GASOLINE AND OIL
DROPPED IN PRICE

LOS ANGELES, Aug, ALL SER
vice stations here are charging %
cents for gasoline: 2 cents less than
heretofore. The first cut was made
last night by the Union Oil company.
The Standard followed today and then
the smaller concerns fell into line.
BAKERSFIELD. Aug, with a
25 cent reduction lowering the price
to $1.10 per barrel, announced by the
Standard Oil company today, the price
of crude oil in California is now the
lowest it has been since May 1918.
Overproduction and lack of consump-
tion are the big factors in causing the
drop according to J. j. Wilt, superin-
tendent of then pipe line department
of the Standard Oil in the San Joaquin
valley.
Imperial Valley press., 1921-08-04

The result of the battle yes
terday will not be known until
the Judges have carefully COM
puted the scores made by each
side and make out the score
cards.
The Edison company declared
that it is ready and fully able to
finance the proposition, even if
it costs $500,000,000. Los An
geles has definite plans for de-
velopment of the project, but
would have to vote bonds before
it could finance the undertak-
ing, according to the statement
Of the bureau of power and light
officials.
Two conferences We're held yes
terday. one with city officials and the
other with officers of the Edison COM
pany, J. S. Nickerson, and all the
members of the district board, at
tended both meetings. President John
B. Miller was spokesman for the Ed
ison company. Among the city Of
ficials present were members of the
Public Service Commission, Chief
Engineer Mulholland, Chief Electrical
Engineer Scattergood and special
Counsel Matthews of the bureau of
Power and Light. and President Treat
of the board of Public Works.
Col. j. G. Scrugham, water COM
missioner of Nevada. stated before
leaving for home last night that the
Nevada, Arizona and Imperial Valley
delegations were able to quickly ar
rive at HARMONIOUS conclusion as to
the manner of procedure, which Will
be necessary when any municipality
or corporation undertakes to develop
the Colorado River.
He takes this as a hopeful sign,
and says that the matter will be great
ly simplified if no more than the Two
applicants seek to develop the power.
He warned all parties concerned TO
consider the matter very carefully and
avoid rb!pging in complications which
might tie up the project so badly III 1t
no organization could develop it.
State Water Commissioner Norveil
of Arizona, said last night that the
job would be the most stupendous un-
dertaking ever tackled in the west, and
would be of inestimable value to the
Pacific slope. but that it would not be
at all difficult for a corporation or
municipality to go broke in trying
to handle it.
While Commissioner Norveil would
not outline the proposed plan. he ad-
mitted that the Edison company is
planning to go at the job IN a way
somewhat different from that which
the Nevada, Arizona and Imperial Val
ley people have been considering. but,
this, he says, will be something for
the Federal power board to weigh and
decide.
In discussing the plans of the Edi-
son company at yesterdays confer
ence, John B. Miller, president of the
corporation, said:
"We are in position to meet the de-
mands of the States bordering on the
Colorado, affording them the protec-
tion they are entitled to and meeting
the requirements of the Imperial Val
ley and neighboring lands, without
cost to them. except insofar as they
individually desire to join with us as
stockholder- partners.
"The project must be developed from
the standpoint first of flood, second ir-
rigation and third, power development
Fortunately, there is no conflict be-
/ tween these interests, as a proper de-
velopment of the Colorado river will
insure adequate provision for flood
control, Irrigation and power.

upon the other, to bring about
the necessary control of the high
water in the Colorado, and to do
away with the yearly expendi-
ture of huge sums of money for
repair and strengthening work
during flood time and to make
permanent the gigantic protec-
tive plant erected by the irriga-
ton district. His report is a
most complete and informative
one and was submitted to the
board at its last meeting with
accompanying maps and blue
prints showing the territory
covered in his recommendations
and the scope of the work neces-
sary to be done.
The full report follows:
Further studies on the Colorado
river flood situation on the delta have
been made. The deductions from these
studies and the conditions behind the
protective levee system during the re-
cent flood cause me to again address
you. to strongly urge your immediate
approval and provision of funds Tor
the following work so that 1T can be
commenced now, in order that full ad-
vantage may be taken of the low

of the year, in which period the work

The successful diversion of portion
of the river flow and the strengthen
ing of the Ockerson levee are impera-
tive before another high flood comes.
The above work, in the first year, will
result in decreased flow toward Vol
cano lake and, in subsequent years, the
practical elimination of all inflow into
the lake. The river will also lower
itself into the ground due to recession
working upstream from along its di-,
verted course, The appearance OF
flood waters against the Saiz and Vol
cano lake levees would next year be
much less than in recent years, and IN
the following years should be ellmm-
ated altogether.
The strengthening of the Ockerson
levee is necessary to make as certain
as possible, without river training
that the river will not break through
to the north of the Bee river ridge
Should such catastrophe occur, Cd
+. the work done for the Pescadero di-
version would be left high and dry
with the river channel miles to the
north; (2) the Saiz and Volcano lake
levees would doubtless fail to remain
intact; and go the hope OF turning

with the u S. reclamation service and
the Mexican interests and Mexican
governmentNto the end that an under
standing would exist whereby the cost
for the ultimate turning of the river
back into the eld channel and con-

proportion to the benefits derived. A
condition of such an agreement should
be that the. district would do the work;
also, all parties should participate in
the expense of subsequent mainten-
