J. L. TRAVERS, AUTHOR,
BOOSTS THE Valley

Jasper l.. Travers, who is banker,
builder, city and county official, an
uplifter and good citizen generally,
despite his many and varied activi-
ties in public and private life,N has
foud time to become. an author.
In the current issue of the Concrete
Highway Magazine, of Chicago, de-
voted to good roads in both city and
country, the leading article is story
about the Imperial Valley, its growth
and achievements, from the pen OF
Mr.. Travers.
While the story devotes considerable
space to telling of the marvellous
growth of the valley from a desert
sinkhole to garden spot, its ouy-
standing paragraphs are devoted to
telling about the construction of the
concrete highway system of the valley
the method of work, difficulties over
come, charector of construction etc.
The story is we'll illustrated with To-
cal road views, and probably without
knowing it Mr.. Travers has contri-
buted a most valuable bit to the ad-
vertising of the valley that is bound
to attract attention all over the
country.

The operation of the transconti-
mental train through Imperial Valley
has brought about unique circum-
stance in the court annals of the VAL
ley in that the Southern Pacific COM
pony has filed suit against Peter
Neckel, rancher, in which the COM
pany charges that dam built by the
defendant for he diversion of irriga-
tion water in the Dahlia canal has in
jured the roadbed of the railroad
making slow speed over the line ne
cessary. The railroad asserts that
the right of way has become softened
because NeckePs water running a.
gainst it and the fast speed neces-
sary for the successful operation of
transcontinental trains cannot be mad
until the alleged trouble is eliminated.

allegations which he has made against
his wife. Tomorrow he may be cross
examined by John e. Mack. guardian

Attorneys for Mrs. Stiliman have been
trying for several days to serve Mr..
Stillman with a subpoena. as IL Is feared
that unless N, is called to the stand By

pared more than 200 questions for the
former banker. and although he may
fall back on his constitutional privilege
and decline to answer. attorneys for
Mrs. Stillman hope to get the questions
into the record
So far. however. efforts to serve Mr.
Stillman have not been successful
Charles j. Wallace, an investigator for
Mrs. Stillman. went with two other de-

ALLEN EXONERATED
IN DIVORCE ACTION
Justice Finch AbsOlves Him
of Any Connection With
DR.. Barrett's Case.

Edward ". Allen, branch manager Of
the New England Mutual Life Insurance
Company, 217 Broadway. and prominent
as a leader OF fusion Mayoralty move
ment in Brooklyn, where he lives at
800 East Eighteenth street. received
complete exoneration yesterday before
Supreme Court Justice Finch of any
connection with the divorce proceedings
Of DR.. Frederick A. Barrett against
Mrs. Marion Barrett.
Mr.. Allen had been mentioned as q
correspondent, and Justice Finch had
already decided in favor OF the plaintiff,
but before the Justice signed final
decree Mr.. Allen applied for a reopening
of the case. stating he never had been
served as one Of the accused and did not
know of his association with the case
until he read newspaper accounts OF the
proceedings. Former Judge Samuel Sea-
bury. appearing yesterday for Mr.. Allen,
moved that the paragraph OF the COM
plant mentioning Mr.. Aliens name be
stricken out, and that testimony OF a
witness alleged TO relate TO Mr.. Allen
and Mrs. Barrett also be stricken out.
Benjamin Marcus. representing DR.. Bar
rett. and A. w. Fraser. representing
Mrs. Barrett, both consented to the
erasures. Justice Finch also granted
motion to dismiss the complaint in SO
far as 1t related to the insurance man.
THE striking from the record OF the
entire testimony against me was in
evitable, because the whole story so far
as / am concerned. was manufactured
and made up of Misrepresentation from
start to fnish." Mr.. Allen said. 1T Is
an extraordinary legal code that permits
the staining of the name of a man or
woman without the accused having an
opportunity to defend his or her good
name. The code as 1t exists permits of
just such cruel and unfair publicity as
has occurred in my case. What hap
pened to me may come to any man or
woman in our State"
