STARTS HER
FIGHT IN
COURT
Movie Actress Who Married
Fairbanks Makes Techni-
cal Attack on Suit to Void
Divorce From Moore.
(BV United PreSS)

MINDEN, New, March 1O.-Reas-
sertion that Leonard B. Fowler, at
torney general of Nevada, had no au-
thority under state laws to bring his
recent action to set aside a divorce
granted here to Mary Pickford, from
Owen Moore was made here today in a
brief filed by Miss Pickford's attorney
Gavin McNab, of San Francisco. Miss
Pickford, who is now Mrs Douglas
Fairbanks, and Mr.. Moore are motion
picture stars.
'If the people wished the attorney
general to represent them in divorce
cases, they would wish him to repre-
sent them in all divorce cases, because
the law of the people must have uni
form operation" the brief said. "Sure-
ly they would not leave it to the at
torney general to represent them in
only one divorce proceeding merely be-
cause one of the parties happened to be
conspicuous.
"They would not allow him, in de-
fiance of precedent and at variance
with American principles to say, like
the celebrated kind, The state! | am
the state which he is attempting to
do in this case. The attorney general
seems to be suffering from confu-
sion of ideas in which he does not per-
ceive the distinction between exercis-
ing delegated powers as a servant of
the state and being the state itself"
Miss Pickfords' attorney contended
in the brief that the attorney gen
erals office, after an investigation of
60 days, has failed to disclose a single
case which might serve as a prece
dent for the action against the decree
granted the picture stars. ''The at
torney general" the brief states, "has
failed to disclose anything in the Ne
vada laws countenancing the theory,
now advanced for the first time, that
the attorney general has the right of
review in all divorce cases." Mr.. Nc
Nab contended that the state was rep
resented at the trial by the court and
that the courts action, IN granting the
decree, was conclusive and final.
Attacks were made in Mr.. McNab's
brief upon arguments set up in a pre-
eral. "The mere fact that the attor-
ney general of Nevada feels that the
courts of California or the courts of
some other state may regard decree
of divorce rendered by the Nevada
courts as void, is no reason why the
courts of Nevada should set aside their
own DEGREES at the instance of the at
torney general" it said.
The attorney generals brief, accord
ing to Mr. McNab, said:
"We cannot say that a foreign state
maH invade our precincts to pervert or
to nullify the acts and records of our
own government" In answer the de-
fense said, "We fail to comprehend or
appreciate the significance of this
statement, nor can we understand how,
in the case of Moore VS.. Moore, any
foreign state invaded Nevada. Fur
thermore We cannot appreciate how
the attorney general claims that the
litigants in this case invaded Nevada
to nullify it's acts or records. The
filing of the Moore divorce case was in
strict accordance with the Nevada
laws"

The juice of the wine grape that

distillation, and ways and means were
found for it's utilization in many food
products and delicacies. A market
was made where no market existed
before. And the new ways of utiliza-
ton proved more profitable than the
old.
That the grape market will continue
to pay big money and that the supply
in no way equals the demand is almost
certainty. Consequently the out
look for new vineyards is golden one
indeed, and with care and attention
and work and common sense the thou
sands of acres of vines now going into

IS TO REOPEN
VERY SHORTLY
Old Pdymdster, Which Has
Produced Million in Gold to
BE Worked Again.

c. B. Conlin, former Ell Centro at
torney, and who is now practicing law
in Los Angeles, has gained possess
sion Of one of the historic gold pro-
ducing mines of the state, said yet to
be most valuable.
The mine, known as the Paymaster
Mine, located near Glamis, on the east
side of the valley, was one of the first
discovered in Southern California, in
1869, and nearly a million dollars
worth of ore was removed during the
first two years of its operations. Since
1882 or for 80 years, the mine has been
closed because of court lNigations
Conlin stated that at least 25 people
have been interested in the mine, by
possession of stock or by wills and a
quarter of million dollars have been
spent in the courts in attempts to
clear the title
In order to gain possession of it
Conlin purchased the contested claims
of every individual connected with the
mine and now he says he has clear
title to the property.
The last court action involved in
the claim was completed when Sheriff
Applestill held sale of the machinery
on the location last week. To replace
the defective machinery sold at the
sheriff's sale, Conlin has purchased a
plant from the Daggett Mine at Dag
gett, Ariz. A number of five-ton
trucks will leave Los Angeles Monday
for Daggett to convey the machinery
parts to the railroad station for ship
ment to he valley. The mine will be
in operation within the next 60 days,
Conlin said.
Mr.. Conlin arrived from Los An
geles this morning and accompanied
by Sheriff C. M. Applestill, Deputy
Sheriff Charles Smith and others, left
for Glamis for a hurried inspection.

Federal Engineers Find But
Little Bad Placement in High
rays of the State.

Final report of the bureau of pub

ture on the highways of California
was transmitted to the California
highway commission. The report is
now being printed and 1000 copies will
be ready for delivery to the commits
sion in two weeks. The full report
covers several hundred pages and has
large number of photographs and
charts.
The entire road system was charted
by tenths of miles and classified as
to character. The A. B. and C classes
show the good, fair and average, and
D, E and f comparative failures. Only
a small percentage of the highways
fall within the classification of fail
ures.
The classifcations adopted follow:
Present condition of constructed

MEX. PEONS
N Us I BE
RETURNED
AT ONCE
Federal immigration In
spectOr Makes Demand for
Rounding Up and Return
for Deportation Cotton
Pickers Brought Across
Line.

A mandatory notice has been served
upon the Imperial Valley Growers as
sociatoin by immigration Inspector
Brazie at Calexico, that all cotton
pickers imported from Mexico to aid
/ in the harvest of the seasons cotton
crop must be delivered to him at Cal
exico for deportation to their homes
at once. There are several hundred Of
these laborers with their families who
were brought into the valley and but
few have returned to Mexico.
Failure to comply with this demand
of the Federal officer means a forfeit
ure on the part of the grower who
engaged the Mexican help of the sum
of $50 per head, for every man, wom-
an and child brought across the line
and who is yet on this side of the
border. 1t also means that the work
ers themselves will be gathered up by
the Federal officers and placed in de-
tention pending deportation proceed
ings, which usually takes about 60
days. Unless bond can be given by
these workers the so days will be spent
in an American Jail.
Many of the cotton growers in the
valley who employed Mexican help
have turned these people loose and
they have wandered where no one
knows. 1t is up to the grower; ac-
cording to T. D. Mccall, secretary of
the growers association to round
these people up and deliver them to
Inspector Brazie, or else forfeit the
$50 impost as well as the expense on
the part of the authorities in appre-
hending them.
Mr.. Mccall is also notifying the
growers that the bale tax for ginning
is due and if not paid Immediately
will be collected by suit at law. An
accurate tabulation of all the cotton
ginned in the valley has been kept, and
the individual grower must arrange
to finance the tax payment if he wish
es to avoid law Suit for collection.
