WOLF FACES
 TRIAL ANEW
 FOR MURDER
OBy the Associated oress}

Harrison, April I. Information cha arging murder was today filed agatnst Yates Standridge in conuec- tion with the killing of Harry Camp bell last Saturday night.
 Standridge is being held in the same cell where Henry Starr, the mo- torious bandit, died from wounds re ceived last year when he attempted to rob the Bank of Harrison.
 Three wounds received by Stan dridge will not prove fatal, physicians say.
 Alonzo Standridge, nephew of the wounded convict and who was seen with him late Sunday afternoon, has disappeared. Yates said this morn ing he feared his nephew had been wounded. He denies shooting Camp bell, however, declaring that he did not have gun.
 Campbell was shot five times through the body, two of the bullets taking effect near the heart, probably causing instant death. The body was found about 10 o'clock Sunday night, lying in pool of blood. Near the body was the keg of whiskey.
 Few details of the shooting can be obtained, and only the apprehension of Alonzo and his statements will clear the mystery surrounding the af- fair, it is said. Members of Camp bells family identified aYtes as one of two men who called for Harry late in the afternoon. The three left the house together. That was the last time Campbell was seen alive, it is said. Residents here believe that the two Standridges came here from Newton county Saturday afternoon bringing the keg of whiskey. They "cached" it in the field, and later ar argument probably ensued over tht possession of the liquor, after Camp bell had accompanied them to tht hiding place.

occasion Matoff and he appeared to be

During the short time he was up
stairs in the agents bedroom follow
ing the first shots he heard what ap-
pearcd to be frca-for-all fight below

mediately after, he said, he saw from
the upstairs window man running
east along the depot platform carry
ing revolver and in his mouth what
appeared to be one of the $500 pack
ages Of bank notes which Dillage and
Matoff had been counting.
The name of Eddie Norris, former
ly of Minot, N. D., has been frequent
ly mentioned in street and courtroom
gossip as having been connected with
the Matoff case, but neither in the
court proceedings or in the delibera-
ual accusation against Norris been
made.
Norris has resided in northwest Mi
not, near the Dorman ball park. At
the time he was in Minot, Canadian
authorities were not anxious to have
him taken into custody, the federal Of
fcers assert, but later, after he had
left the city, they asked local authori-
ties to pick him up on suspicion.
Norris first came to the attention
of the law about two years ago, when
he faced charges in Canada of being
in the party that raided liquor ex-
porters at Gainsboro. He was ac-
quilted of the charges.

United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 14.-lt
was learned today from Honorable
John H. Bartlett, Chairman of the
Civil Service Commission, that the
War Department had authorized
further audits of contracts for air.
craft which were terminated by ne
gotiated agreements during the latter
part of 1918 and early in 1919, with a
view to the recovery of overpayments
estimated at $25,000,000.00.
Mr.. Bartlett said that the Civil Ser
vice Commission was interested in
this matter in connection with the
clerical work of the audits. He said
that he had been informed by the War
Department that three audits recent
" completed Established overpayments
for aircraft totalling $7,S71 900. He
said that informal figures obtained
from accounting firms indicate that it
would cost the Government a sum
close to 81, ,000,0 to complete the ad-
ditional audits which are contemplat-
ed; that, by the use Of accountants OBJ
tained through the Civil Service Com
missions examinations, the three
audits completed, totalling recovery
of more than 100000, had cost the
Government only $4,000 for all ex-
penses of the audits. The War Depart
ment further stated that the addi-
tional audits could be performed by
civil service employees for less than
$15O,O0O, as against the S1,00o,0OO
asked by private auditing companies,
to recover the estimated overpay-
ments of S25 100000.
Mr.. Bartlett said that the three
audits which had been made by civil
service employees had been placed in
the hands of reliable public account
ing firms by the contractors affected,
to determine the correctness and ac-
curacy of the audits, with the result
that all the cases had been declared
flawless from an accounting stand
point, and could not be upset.

COUNTY BANKERS
HOLD MEETING
Take Steps to Organize a Cred
its Exchange to Protect
Loans
Session at Imperial Saturday
Night With Banquet and
Speeches

The bankers of this valley are go
ing to establish credits exchange if
their plans work out. This was de-
cided at the regular meeting of the
Imperial County Bankers association
held at Imperial Saturday evening.
The credits exchange will be an
arrangement whereby central Of
flee will be established, to which
office all banks will report all loans
made. In this way every member
bank will know whether its custom
ers are borrowing more than appears
on the books Of that particular bank.
A committee to formulate plan and
report at the next meeting was ap-
pointed as follows: Messrs. Horne,
Hoover, Dunn, Gunterman, James
Holt.
The meeting of the association was
attended by twenty bankers of the
valley. At z o'clock dinner of a
very delectable kind, was served by
the ladies of the Eastern Star.
Following the dinner was session
of Shop talk" for an hour and a
half. President Moore of Calexico
occupied the chair.
The appointment of dairy in
spector for the valley was reported
as unfinished business. Inasmuch
as the Associated Chambers of COM
merce have this in charge the COM
mittee was continued with the under
standing it would cooperate with that
body to this desired end.
An advertising committee was ap-
pointed by the chair, consisting of
Messrs. Butts of Calexico, Garritt
of Brawley, Brewer of Ell Centro.
The necessity of establishing a
cooperative system of marketing was
discussed by the members generally.
All agreed there should be a better
system in vogue, with credit plan
that would carry vegetable growers
at less cost than they now pay. To
that end it was decided to have the
head of the Walnut Growers Asso-
ciation come to the valley soon and
address mass meeting made up OF
producers.
The chair called upon Ross L. Ham
mond, editor of the Press, and he
gave the association talk on bank
ing and bankers and the future OF
the valley as it appeared to new
conner. He said he and his associates
had come to help in every possible
way to develop Imperial county, in
vesting their money and dedicating
their energies to that end. "This is
the best known valley in the United
States said Mr.. Hammond, "and 1t
is now plainly going upward at a
rapid rate" His remarks were greet
ed with enthusiasm.
Lloyd Wickham of Los Angeles,
connected with the Citizens National
Bank of that city made a happy re-
sponse to a call, in which ne SAID
Imperial was a great valley and had
a wonderful future.
State Bank Examiner Porch was
also called out and declared that CO.
operative marketing was one of the
greatest needs of valley growers, as
he sees it. He gave clear discussion
of several cooperative associations OF
California.
The next meeting Of the associa-
ton will be held at Brawley Marcn
18th.
