Investigate First.

A small group of men In New York
some of them bearing names honored
in financial and educational circles OF
the country have been indicted fo1
the crime of selling fake stock certifi-
Gates. The particular concern in whose
stock these men are alleged to have
dealt, was said to have been that of a
moving picture concern, that made
great promises of speedy wealth to
stockholders.
But this is a very small and in
significant incident as compared with
the vast activities of the fake stock
concerns that are working among peo-
pie who are ignorant of stock deals
and who rely upon the sellers of the
stock for all their information with
reference to the institutions they claim
to represent.
One would think that if the ordi-
nary man or woman were approached
with proposition to invest in a Ger
tain stock, the first thing the one ap-
preached would do would be to start
an investigation as to the standing of
the stock selling concern. But that
is the last thing they do When the
promised dividends fail to material
ize then the duped purchasers make
their Investigations and their com
plants.
It would seem impossible to find a
person of any intelligence, anywhere
in the United States, who has not been
warned of all these stock selling tricks
and yet Notwithstanding all that news
papers have said and done. there are
thousands of people seemingly stand
ing with their hands outstretched and
their checks ready signed to take in
the glittering stock promises of the
most glazing fakirs
Occasionally. as in the New York
incident, somebody is indicted, and
coca sionally someone is convicted of
fraud and sent TO prison. but that
does not seem to lessen the number
of people who are willing to be robbed
by the stock selling method.

OFFICE IS
SUBJECT
PROBE
Grand Jury of Los Angeles
County Charges District
Attorney Is Extravagant,
Wasteful, Inefficient and
Corrupt.
(By Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, Oct. IA meeting
Of all of the Superior judges of Los
Angeles county to consider the charges
against the administration of the Of
flee of district attorney by Thomas
Lee Woolwine, will probably be called
by Presiding Judge Shenk. This was
indicated today by Judge Shenk who
said he was in doubt as to the proper
method of procedure with charges
which are contained in a report of the
public office committee Of tk1 grand
jury filed in the Superior court yes
terday afternoon.
The committee in a summary report
charged that there had been a carnival
of extravaganza and waste, inefficien-
cy and corruption in the district attor-
ney's office.
Woolwine who is expected to arrive
here from his old home in Tennessee,
where he has been on visit, on Mon
day wired his offi/, this morning that
he could "see no reason why the grand
jury should not investigate any public
office if they desired to do So" SOW,
The partial report, which did not go
into the details of the charges the
grand jury wants Investigated, was
placed before Judge Shenk shortly
before o'clock and was taken under
consideration. 'N .e
The report of the grand jury said
in brief that "there have been and are
matters pending before the grand jury
of Los Angeles county in which the
district attorneys office and Thomas
Lee Woolwine, district attorney of Los
Angeles county" are interested parties
and asked that proper steps be taken
to have the attorney general order
special counsel. The resolution en-
bodying it was passed by the grand
jury after virtually an entire day of
deliberation, during which it called
Judge Reeve before it and conferred
with him for more than an hour.
After the report had been filed,
Judge Reeve, who received it, made
the following statement:
ga partial asport of the county
grand jury was presented to me, filed
and referred by myself to the presid-
ing Judge for action. The reason for
thus referring it was that the Superior
court of the county is composed of %
departments and the presiding judge
is the recognized head of the entire
court, that this matter is directed to
the court in it's entirety, and that the
matter, by its very nature, necessarily
would have to be referred to him."

SID CHAPLINS PICTURE

A story of unsual thrill, coupled
with exceptional comedy features
makes Sydney Chaplin's Paramount
production of "King, Queen, JOKER"
which will be shown at the Palace
Theatre tonight one of the outstand-
ing picture offerings of the season.
Mr.. Chaplin is quite out of the ordln-
ary, and one may get an idea of it's
cost when a trip to England. France
and Switzerland of nine weeks dura-
ton was made by the entire company
just to film some Of the scenes.
A number of innovations in picture
producing were used by Mr.. Chaplin
in the making of the production, one
of them being the use of airplanes to
carry the company to distant locations
practically inaccessible by any other
means of transportation.
With the induction of many novel
stunts into this picture, Mr.. Chaplin S
offering is said to be an unusual one.

The California Cattlemen's Associa-
tion in it's weekly report says:
The demand for beef cattle in CAL
ifornia has been very strong during
khe past week, and greater activity
has been shown by the buyers in prac-
tically all sections Of the state. Sales
of medium weight steers at 6hc are
reported at many points from Marys-

GUNNERS TOOK
TO WATER WAYS
At EARLY HOUR
Duck Season Opened Today
With Birds Apfenty in Grain
Fields and Streams.

The duck season which is controlled
by the Federal game laws, opened to-
day, Is days earlier than IN. previous
years. The benefit to be derived from
this change has been the subject of
much speculation among sportsmen,
some asserting that this date is too
early, and others, who have done a
great deal of shooting around the Sal
ton Sea, and along the New and Alamo
rivers and in the irrigated fields of
the county, where the ducks gather in
great numbers, are much pleased as it
gives them chance at i. the early
flight Of the young sprig.
There is this to say, however, about
Federal control of the water fowl,
each season since the government took
control, the shooting has improved,
and while it is not possible at this time
to say whether the shooting this sea-
son will be better than that of last.
or whether it will be as good, it cer-
tainly has provided plenty of birds.
as observers have noted great flocks
of wild fowl passing over the valley
almost daily within the past two
weeks.
The Imperial Valley with its numer-
Gus water wavs, and the great Salton
Sea, is paradise for the duck hunters,
and nimrods from far away sections
of the state annually come here for the
sport. Then for the local hunter the
distances to cover to the shooting
grounds are short and make a days
shooting easy. Then again it is not
a long trip to any of the. San Diego
county lakes which are open to the
public and abound with birds.
Large parties. of hunters were away
early today to get on the ground for
the first morning flight of the birds
and no doubt there will be many bag
limits reported before the day is over.

ASKS FOR
THROUGH
TARIFF
Application Made to Trans
continental Freight Bu-
reau for Rate Which Will
Be of Vast Benefit to the
Growers.

Application was made this morning
to the Transcontinental Freight Bu-
reau at Chicago by the Holton Inter
urban Railroad for permission to put
into effect joint freight tariff from
all points on it's line to all points in
the country.
The application is made for the rea-
son that the officers of the road state
that the line must cease operation if
it's business is not increased and the
only way to increase business from
the territory covered is to put in eff
feet through tariff, which will per-
nit the shipper to load his product
at his door and bill it direct to the
market.
There is every reason to believe
that the permission will be granted
and if so it will mean that the enter
prising little city Of Holtville will be
put on the railroad map of the United
States, with corresponding benefit
to the community.
At the present time and for a long
time, even in the busiest of seasons
the little interurban line has been OPP
Grated at loss, and in 1918 applica-
ton was made for joint through tar
iff. Before the Interstate Commerce
commission could complete its inves-
tigation of the merits Of the applica-
ton the Federal government took con-
troll Of the railroads and the matter
was automatically relegated to the
background.
Last year there was a large amount
of fruit and vegetables shipped from
the Holtville district which cost the
producer higher rate to get to mar
ket because of the fact that most OF
the stuff had to be trucked to Ell Cen
tro for loading on cars. The coming
season, if the application is granted,
the shipper can load practically at
the front gate of his farm and sind
his stuff direct to the markets OF the
east and middle west.
The granting of the rate will mean
great deal more to the community
than the mere keeping in business OF
a short stretch of railroad. 1t will

idle land which has not been cultivat,
cd heretofore because of shipping con
ditions and other matters connected

soil in the valley and will grow any.
thing that can be produced anywhere
in Imperial county and it's potentia
valuei as great as that of the most
valuable section of farming land ir
the entire community.
The Holtville Commercial club re-
cognizing the Importance to the city
and the surrounding country of secur
ing the joint tariff for the road, las
night passed a resolution endorsing
and approving the application, and 1
copy of the resolution signed by th'
the officers of the club, was forward
ed by telegraph to Chicago for pre-
sentation to the Transcontinenta
Freight Bureau. Similar action it il
expected will be taken at once by tn
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce.

POISON GAs
TO Be USED
AGAINST
BIRDS
Congressman Swing Has Sc
cured Cooperation Of War
Department in Battle
Against Blackbird Pest in
Valley.

The Press yesterday carried q story
Of the efforts Of Congressman Phil
D. Swing to secure from the govern
rnent some aid in eradicating the
blackbird pest in this valley.
This morning was received from
Congressman Swing telling Of the
success of his efforts not only with
the agricultural department out cf
his further work with the chemical
Warfare section of the war department.
NJ. D. Davis, editor of The Press en-
closes story from the Washington
Post concerning the blackbird pes:.
Extracts from it are as follows:
The weapons of war must be the
implements of peace. according to
Grig. Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief Of
chemical warfare of the army. Ac-
cordingly, the chemical warfare SER
ice has begun campaign to develop
gasses that will attack and exterml-
nate not only tn rats that infest
sewers, but the bugs and worms tha:
eat up the leaves and fruits of var,-
Gus agricultural products. At present
the army is working on a request
from Representative Philip D. Swing,
Of Imperial valley. Calf. in the hope
of finding something that will exter-
INMATE the blackbird pest in that
community"
Representing Swing was a recent
visitor at the Edgewood arsenal. at
Edgewood, Md, where the chemical
warfare gas research is being carried
on. He had already asked the gov
ernment to devise some preventive
against the blackbirds. He com
planned that the blackbirds breed in
millions in the delta of the Colorado
river and come over in midsummer to
devastate the kaffir corn sowed by
the farmrs of the famous Imperial
valley.
"As the result of his visit, he was as
sured that the chemical warfare serv-
ice could devise poison that would
Kill some of the birds and drive off
the others. He was told, however
that to use it the farmers would have
to content themselves with using
their products for food and fodder
alone, as the chemicals would destroy
the reseeding value of the fruit. In
ireponse, the representative pointed
out that as things stand the farmers
get neither food nor seed. Mr.. Swing
was assured that the governmesr
would undertake new series of ex-
neriments to attempt to develop some
thing that would both protect the
grain and it's reseeding qualities.
