Death of Husbands bU Saying
She is TYphOid Carrier.
(By United Press)

HONOLULU, T. H., May II. =
Mrs. Lydia Southard, held as an al
legged feminine "Bluebeard," charged
with the murder Of four husbands and
a brother-in in-law. today held firmly to
her claim that she was natural ty-
phoid carrier and that hsr husbands
died of typhoid fever contracted from
her.
after / am proven innocent / will
sue my accusers on the mainland for
damages" she declared in an exclusive
statement for the United Press.
II never had typhoid fever myself,
but / am convinced my husbands con-
tracted the disease from me, ScieR-
lists saw | can be carrier without be-
ing affected.
CAS- to my collecting insurance poll
cies when my husbands died, ! never
collected any, although had some due
me.
"There was some talk after my last
husband died and that was why l had
an inquest held them"
+ Mrs. Southard asked Chief of De
tectives Arthur McDuffie what kind
of poison she was charged with using.
"Why, understand it was the kind
they kill weeds with" McDuffie re-
piled.
They'll have to prove that" Mrs.
Southland commented.
Mrs. Southland refused to attend re-
l:gious services in the Jail.
II don't care for that sort of thing
she told the Jail matron. The matron

NO. ) OFFICIALS
UNLOAD LARGE
COBS OF GLOOM
Free SIuicing and Cut in Rate
Means ONLY Disaster and
Eternal BOVICOlcS.

Imperial Irrigation District will
make no change this summer in the
recently announced intention of allow
ing the mutual water companies to use
waste water free of charge, and of
reducing the price of water to IS cents
per acre foot. This statement was
made by the directors after almost the
entire morning session Of the board
had been devoted to arguments pro
and con between the board members
and President Strieby and Director
Dan Oakley of Imperial Water COM
pany No. s of Holtville.
Both No. S representatives secuted
the lea that any good could come
from the irrigation districts action,
Strieby contending that the only per-
son who would benefit by the reduced
rate would be the land renters, while
the owners would have TO make up the
difference in water assessments or ir-
rigation district taxes.
Oakley painted very pessimistic
picture of disaster which he predicted
would be the result of running of free
water through the bitches. He init
mated that the zanjeros probably
would sell a lot Of the water and
pocket the money, in which event
neither the district nor the mutual
company would benefit, although hav-
ing to pay for running the water just
the same.
1t seemed to be the wish of both
Strieby and Oakley that the district
reconsider both actions, but they were
told that in both cases the initiative
had been taken by the mutuals and
that fair trial of the proposition
would be made before any adverse ac-
ton would be taken by the board.

HOLY ROLLERS MUST
GET SPIRIT EARLY

CALEXICO, May 17-Mexican Holy
Rollers must arrange with the spirit
that moves them to loud and boisterous
demonstrations to visit them before 9
o'clock at night and close their church,
or it will be closed by the police, City
Recorder Steintorf told the Rev. An
tonic Nava, pastor of the church in
police court.

it was asserted the religious demon
strations were continued until late
hours.

MELON CROP
IS: ALMOST
READY TO
SHIP
First Carload of CantalOupes
Will Go Out This Week.
Everything Ready Fo-
Record Crop.

The first carload of cantaloupes will
probably so forward by express from
the Imperial Valley the latter part of
this week. Just which town in the
valley will have the honor of shipping
the first car is hard to determine, but
the growers down around Heber have
promised to have the first car out this
year, to even up the division of honors
last year, when they found six other
cars of melons in train in which they
believed they had the only one. a..
Pickers, packers and laborers are
pouring into the valley from all points
in Southern California to get busy on
the handling of the 23,O0U acre crop
which will be produced this year, and
the next two months promises to be
the busiest around the melon districts
that has ever been witnessed.
The railroad company has prepared
for the opening of the season by lin
ing the tracks from inland to Calexico
with strings of refrigerator cars and
extra shifting engines have been sent
down from Los Angeles to assist in
making up of the trains.
The Pacific Fruit Express, which
will handle the bulk Of the crop has
its icing crews on the ground and a
big restaurant has been built at Braw-
ley to feed the men employed in the
cantaloupe traffic. Another eating
station will be established at once in
Ell Centro and little time will be lost
in the rush period by going to meals.
That indications for "a reduction in
freight rates on Imperial Valley CAM
taloupes are .very encouraging was
the message froms Congressman Phil
d. Swing in letter received by L. C.
Lee and E. w. Cuff today. In his let
ter Swing quotes from comnlunica-
ton received by him from Shoup, vice
president of the Southern Pacific rail-
way, as follows: '7s 'f" f~r ~. 49,
"While they have not as yet had
an opportunity to fully digest the facts
which were produced at the hearing
before Mr.. Ford, they are anxious to
give the cantaloupe growers every
consideration that they feel they

WAR At BORDER
Mexicai Headquarters Raided
by Police After Killing of
Chinese Merchant Thursday
Night.

MEXICALI, May 17.-In an effort
to break up what has been declared to
be an organized blackmailing CAM
paign directed against Chinese Masons
by the Lin Sing Tong, powerful
Chinese society, with $50 local nem-
bers, police of the northern district Of
Loweri California last night raided the
tong headquarters and arrested the
president, secretary and treasurer,
who will be deported Immediately, ac-
cording to Police Inspector Ruiz. Chez
Fat, president; Luis Frank, treasurer,
and Lee Ching, treasurer, are those
under arrest.
Careful investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the shooting of
Thursday night and charges brought
by members of the Masonic Lodge led
the police to arrest the heads Of the
Linn Sing tong. 1t is said that the
shooting affray resulted from Quan
Chong's refusal to give $1,000 to the
Linn Sings. who are charged with writ
ing him several letters asking him to
''loan" them the money. After several
threatening letters had been sent, the
tongmen are said to have set time
limit for payment of the money, with
death as the only alternative. This
threat was ignored as in the case of
the others and four men were delegat-
ed to kill him. Wong Chin was the
first of the four men to meet Chong
after the order was issued.
Police Inspector Ruiz says that the
frn,,hla hotv,ooV bo l. L.
tongmen is not tong war, but is a
campaign of blackmail against the
members OF the Masonic lodge, who
are believed to be in good financial
Inspector Ruiz said he believed that
evidence againstt the prisoners was
strong enough to warrant their Ge-
portation and that they would be taken
to some Mexican sea port and sent
back to China.

Presbyterian General AS
sembly at Winona Lake
Has Many Weighty Ques-
tions for Consideration of
Delegates,
(By United Press)

W1NONA LAKE, Ind, May 1.-THE
.133rd General Assemly Of the Presby-
terian church, scheduled to meet here
May 1928, will be confronted with
problems second only to the big ques-
tions considered at last years session.
The deliberations last year resulted
in Presbyterian withdrawal from the
Interchurch World Movement and a
limitation Of the budget and authority
of the Presbyterian New Era Move
ment, which l. the advance movement
Of the Presbyterian church.
The church is confronted with debts
amounting to over 81 100000, most Of
which will be calling for immediate
payment. Proposals are expected
which will make definite arrangements
to rid the Presbyterian church of its
financial obligations.
There yet remains unpaid nearly
100000 on the Interchurch World
Movement underwriting, while the
New Era Movement owes enarly an
other $500,000 and both the Presby-
terian Board Of Foreign Missions and
the Presbyterian Board Of Home Mis-
sions have large deficits, because of
the advanced costs since the pre-war
days.
In addition to this question there
will come up overtures before the
Presbyterian commissioners calling for
reorganization of the office of Stated
Clerk. At the same time the appoint
ment of a stated clerk of General AS
sembly to succeed the late DR.. William
Henry Roberts will be considered.
Some Presbyterians propose that the
office be filled at this years session of
the General Assembly, the newly elect
ed clerk to take over his duties imme-
diately; while others advocate the re-
ceiving of nominations, these names to
be placed in the hands of committee,
to submit report at next years Cen
eral Assembly. This cu,nmittee's re-
port would then be approved or re-
jected by the General Assembly.
Those so far suggested as candidates
for the office of Stated Clerk include

MORE
Improved Method of Plant
ing Cotton Makes Sma;l
Farm Yield More Than
Large One by Old.

The close spacing, or single stalk
method of cotton planting, which was
generally adopted in the Imperial
Valley by the growers of pima cotton,
is strongly advocated by the experts
of the United States department Of
agriculture, which first advocated it
nearly 10 years ago. In an informa-
tive report on the method just issued
by the department most excellent re-
suits are given. The report in part is
as follows:
Twenty-Five to 100 per cent increase
in yield is reported by cotton growers
who have adopted the new close
spacing method of cotton culture, in
troduced s or 10 years ago by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Reports coming directly to the
department and to agricultural jour
mails, which have interested themselves
in encouraging the new system, show
that farmers throughout the cotton
regions of the country are rapidly turn
ing to the plan. Increased yield, less
labor and expense for the same crop,
and lessening of boil weevil damage
are among the benefits recited in hun
dreds of letters written by farmers in
various parts of the South. Indica-
tions are that the system will be
adopted far more widely the coming
season.
The close-spacing, more commonly
known as the single-stalk method of
cotton culture, consists primarily in
spacing the cotton plants so close in
the row--a hoe width apart-that
the lower or vegetation branches do
not develop, and the growth of the
plant goes directly into the upper or
fruiting branches, permitting them to
begin the development of blossoms and
bolls earlier and giving them more
nourishment and more light.
The discovery that the cotton plant,
in common with coffee, cocoa and a
number of other species, produces two
different sets of branches was an
nounced by specialists of the depart
ment about 1911, and has given direc-
tion to series of useful experiments
in cultivation. BY taking account OF
the specialized habits of branching it
was found possible to exercise much
more effective control of the develop
ment of the plants so as to secure
earlier crops, larger yields, and great
