turn to America shortly, after having

stroyed villages and stragglers found

wandering.
"The work is not finished, but | am
returning for a rest Miss Daniels told
Il correspondent who visited Trebizond

most important of the things American

ham, Mass, who was the home secre-
tary of the American Board of Foreign
Missions. Her mother, who resides now
at Tolland, Conn.,, is president of the

Heavy Vote Rolling
up on Bonds Today

With a fleet of ears scurrying to all
parts of the county, and q flock or
workers making personal visits to every
registered voter, Imperial county is to-
day waging the battle of ballots to de
eide whether or not u bond issue of
100000 for a new courthouse III El
Centre and $4,000 for a county fair
at Imperial shall be authorized.
Headquarters of those supporting the
bonds is at the local chamber of com
merce, where Jimmy Coyle, as the staff
adjutant, is glued to a chair directing
the work in all parts of the county. A
definite plan of battle was decided
upon by the chamber of commerce
courthouse committee last week, and it
is followed out scientifically today.
Locally, there are two centers, one
at the Olive street school and the other
at the city hall, with Il steady stream
of voters visiting each to east their
ballots for or against the bond issue
The voting of course is done secretly,
but if there is anything in mental tel
epathy business, there are not enough
"noes' going in the ballot boxes at
either place to make an overcoat for
humming bird.
Men and women, young and old,
white and black, rich and poor, pro-
fessional and laborer, drift to the poll
ing places in twos and threes to deposit
their ballots There is no confusion,
and it takes but few seconds for II
voter to be checked off the list, handed
a ballot and to east his vote.
Election officials in charge ut the
Olive street school ara Mrs. Elmer
Beck, judge; Mrs. c. l.. Thatcher, in
spector; Mrs. Frank Gaffney and f..
l.. Shaw, clerks.
At the city hall Fred Mcclellan is
acting as judge H. w. Brewer, in
spectOr; j. II. Cross and Leo HetZel,
clerks.
Early this morning, several young
ladies made their appearance in the
downtown section of the city, equipped
with bundles of tags boosting the coun
ty fair, which they distributed. Prac-
tically everyone in the city is wearing
such Il tag, some two or three, thus
warming the heart of C. C. jenkins,
manager of the fair, who has been
kept busy all day, hustling around to
the various towns to see that no voter
was overlooked.
Workers express themselves as conf
dent that both bond issues will be ear
ried by handsome majOrities. The day
has been ideal for getting out a large
vote, the thermometer registering
around 90 at noon, with brisk breeze
blowing.
At 80 p. m. of a total registration in
Ell Centre of approximately 1900, 5l4
ballots had been east at the Olive
street school and $50 at city hall. 1t
is expected the heaviest voting will be
recorded during the later hours of
the afternoon and that record vote
will be chalked up in FL Centric.
At press time approximately 1000
votes had been east here with reports
of proportionately heavy vote from
county precincts.

HENDERSON SHOT
IN NIGHT BATTLE
BETWEEN POLICE

As a result of mistaken identity in
the dark last night, Police Officer
Henderson of the FL Centro department
is in the hospital, sl.o.A-1n the faot,
and it is only by good luck that two
or more officers are not seriously
wounded or possibly killed.
Word was received at police head
quarters about $50 that two MeXicans
had held up and robbed two men in
Imperial, and the robbers were seen
heading in the direction of Ell Centre.
Officers Bogue and Henderson started
Il search for the robbers and worked
their way up toward the railroad tracks
in the north end. Near Euclid avenue
crossing they saw two men approaching
whom they took for the bandits. Bogue
flashed his light and ordered them to
halt, while both he and Henderson
drew their guns.
The other two also drew guns and
started to fire at the officers, both Of
whom dropped behind the ditch bank,
where one of the flying bullets hit
Henderson in the foot. Bogue called
out that he was an officer, and one of
the other men yelled, $50 am |. y
HtN CdIlc IOTWuIu anu lHtIOuuCtb
themselves us Marshal Keating of I'M
perial and his son Hugh, the latter be-
ing one of the men who were held up.
They had started for FL Centre on the
trail of the robbers, and had taken
Bogue and Henderson for their quarry.
Both had seen the local officers draw
their guns, and started shooting, think
ing the, supposed. robbers were trying
to get the jump on them.
Henderson was taken to the Ell Cen
tro hospital, where an N-ray examina-
tion this morning revealed the bullet
still in his foot, and it will be removed
by operation. Henderson is resting
comfortably, thanking his stars he is
a patient instead of IA corpse. Officer
Bogue in his report to police headquar-
ters remarked that it took nine shots
for the officers to become acquainted.
AS far as he is concerned, he desires
no further intrOductions of this kind.

BANDIT LOOTINC
BEGIN IN MEXICO

NOGALES, Ariz, June 12.--
Private kilograms received here
today declared that General Felix

dred well equipped soldiers has

ed five members of the military
escort, and wounded several 9TH

pesos in Mexican gold, according
to reports reaching here today.

the opposite direction was held up
at the wreck and plundered.
A large force of mounted BAN
dts, under the leadership of Juan
Ramierez, Reyz Gil and Lorenza
Alvarez took part in the attack,
it was stated.
The bandit band, loading the
loot on pack mules, escaped to the

WINE GRAPE MEN
EXPECT $125 A TON

NILES, Calf, June l2.-Many VINE
grape growers of this district are hop
ing to receive 1925 ton for their crop
this year. Offers of 800 and $95 u
ton are freely refused by growers, who
believe that 1922 will be the biggest
year in the wine grape crop, as far as
sales go.

ed for the crop, which eventually sold
around SS5 ton. Reports from Sono-
ma county state that offers of 800 and
$40 tone have already been made

hurt the value of the grape, but rather
has created new and better demand
for it, declared +. W. Smith, Niles ;
grower. $50 many new soealled tenn,

CINCINNATI, o., June 12.-The
forty second annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor met
here today.
With coal miners on strike and rail
road workers voting on Il strike, with
wage cuts impending in several lines
and great numbers of union men in the
army of unemployed, organized labor
is at critical period of its history,

have its constitutional rights and privi-
leges taken from it by any subtle
reasoning or assumption of power, no
matter whence its shall emanate,'

his opening speech. Six hundred dele
gates cheered G0mpers.
Discussing the disarmament confer
ence, Gompers said that not much was
accomplished, compared with what re-
mains, but Il beginning has been made. y
Labor, he declared, deserved credit
for initiating the movement of the
armament conference.
Bitter attack on the present Congress
and the forces hostile to union Labor
we're outstanding in the report of the
executive council, submitted to the
convention shortly after it opened
today.
The council recommended most
aggressive policy for the future. Other
main recommendation were:
Strong opposition to the sales tax
the ship subsidy, anti-strike laws, all
forms of political censorship of NOV
ing pictures and antipicketing legisla-
tiOn.
Approval of restriction of immigra-
eral aid for good roads, blue sky legis.
lation, larger funds for the federal EN-
plovment service and the bill authoriz-
ing cooperative marketing associa'
tions.
Denunciation of the Kansas indus
trial court.
Strong disapproval of the supreme
court decision knocking out the child
labor decision and other decrces re.
strieting picketing during labor strikes,
as well as II general denunciation of
court iniunctions in industrial dis
putes.
Denunciation of injunctions against
coal miners.
Disapproval of President Harding S
proposal for national labor board
which it was claimed, would regulate
