State Believes Evidence
Found to Back Up

HOPE TO IDENTIFY
Crowds Gather to See WO-
man Accused of Murder
of Love Rival
United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26.-Evidence
TO corroborate Mrs. Peggy Caffee s
eve witness version of the killing of
Mrs. Alberta Meadows may be pro-
duced by the state in a new witness,
Deputy District Attorney Fricke re-
veaed at the trial of Clara Phillips
today.
The witness is a Mexican cattleman
who said he saw a woman in n coat
walking up the hill from the scene Of
the murder a short time after the kill
ing was believed to have been done.
Mrs. Phillips is the only one of the
three principals in the tragedy who
wore a coat that afternoon, and if the
eattleman can identify Mrs. Philips
rs the woman he saw, strong confirma-
tion of Mrs. Caffec's story will be OBJ
tanned, the state believes.
The morning session of the trial op-
ened late as usual and Judge Houser
disposed of number of other eases.
Mrs. Phillips was not brought into
court until after l o'clock. She en-
tered through an ante room, her face
extremely pale.
A. ID. Irwin, employe of the county
surveyor S office, occupied the stand
for some time, describing a chart that
showed the scene of the murder.

ROOSEVELT TO Be
HONORED BY SCOUT
TROOP TOMORROW
Call Meeting of Boys to
Honor ''Chief Scout
Citizen" Here

All Boy Scouts in El Centre arc
asked to meet at the City Park tomor-
row at 1880 p. m. to celebrate the birth
day of Theodore Roosevelt who was
called the "Chief Scout Citizen, and
who at all times was the friend of
bows. There will be a camp fire and
Il parade with other things that will
interest the Scouts. Frank Lake, Scou.
master will be at the meeting to
direct proceedings.
When it comes to service, Boy Scouts
are always on the job and Ell Centre
has large number of them who never
miss an opportunity to show their pa
triotism and loyalty to their country
and its great leaders. Scout Master
Lake said this morning that young
men of the city who might be scout
masters but will not accept the honor,
do not know how much they themselves
are losing. "There are at least 200
boys in this city alone who ought to
be scouts or scout cubs,' he said. "All
we need to have wonderful organi-
zation here, is leadership. We must
have men for this purpose and men of
the right sort"
1t, is certain that El Centre Boy
Scouts will welcome the opportunity
to honor n great American Friday eve
ming and all will gather at the park at
the call of their Scout Master. All
over the country there will be like
demonstrations with appropriate pro
grams and demonstrations. Planting
of memorial trees, dedication OF
Scout cabins, parades and other things
such as Roosevelt would have reveled
in as boy, will be featured.

Candidates Should
Be AS Numerous as
Press Big Prize List

When the Press determined to give
away over $4,000 in automobiles and
cash in the Press great siX-automooile
and cash gift distribution it was
thought that the prize list was so
liberal that scores would get IN and
carry on
The fact that one stands to win up
to $4,000 and that Everybody Wins
Something'' ought to have been enough
to "knock everyone cold. Really,
that may be the ease. Maybe you are
"knocked so eold' you haven't yet
fully recovered.
You expected everyone in Imperial
Valley to get into this election and
everyone in the Imperial Valley eX-
peeted you to get in. The result is
but few are in-so few in fact that
the Press is not justified in announcing
nominations today.
There ought to be, at least, as many
candidates as there are prizes offered,
Not one of the prizes-the Moon Sc
dan, the Hudson Speedster, the Buick
Touring, the three Chevrolets, or the
six Cash Prizes-ought to go begging.
The cash commission of % per cent
offered to all who do not win one of
the grand prizes ought, in this day, to
be inducement enough to cause any
one to get busy.
You. talk about money being tight.
You talk about not being able to do
this or that. You cry because of an
alleged "tightness in financial af-
fairs--yet here is over $4,000 wait
ing for men and women, married OF
single-to take it us gift without
one cent of expense And what is the
result2 Everyone is afraid they haven I
got the time, Everyone is afraid some.
one else has more brains and more sell
ing ability and more friends who will
rally around them in their effort to
win.
The response to the Press election
is pitiful. Really, it would seem that
there are enough mon and women in
FL Centre and Imperial Valley who have
ambition and energy enough to grasf
this exceptional opportunity. You must
be here. You must have the ability
and the friends. Maybe you need
someone to prod you along, to make
you help yourself.

Big Enough for You

This proposition is BIG enough to
demand the attention of the BIGGEST
MAN OR WOMAN in Ell Centro and
this section. If someone came to you
today and put up proposition in which
you stand to make over $1,000 month
the next two months, you would give
it serious consideration. Yet what are
you really doing-hunting around for
reasons to excuse yourself from max
ing moro in the next few weeks than
you probably do i'll year and more
than most people actually save III years
and years.
If you have ear, if one of these
big, handsome cans do not appeal to
you, the cash they represent ought to
appeal. With $4,000 you can do much,
have wanted for so long. You have
start in business. You have funds
to carry on in your present undertaking.
You Can Win Big
How can you sit idly by when op-
portunity is knocking so loudly9 How
can you possibly keep out Every
body Wins Something.' You are as
sured at the very least of 20 per cent
in cash on every dollar S worth Of sub
scription you produce. You know you
cannot lose and that you can win big.
You farmers-just consider MS:

NAVY DAY TO BE
CELEBRATED OVER
WORLD TOMORROW
Birthday of Roosevelt Is
Observed by HOnOring
u. S. Navy
United Press Leased Wire


WASHINGTON, Oct 90" Navy
Day." created by the Navy League to
tell the American people more about
their fleet, which, when the Washing
ton arms conference treaties are in full
effect, will be the equal of any in the
world, will be observed throughout tho
nation tomorrow.
The hope of the sponsors of Navy
Day. which will be celebrated this
year for the first time, is that it will
be given an annual place ON the Amer
lean calendar.
The twenty yseventh of October was
selected because it is the birthday of
that great American advocate of pre-
paredness, Theodore Roosevelt
The idea of setting aside a day for
promoting a more general knowledge
of the navy, its history, its war and
peaee-time missions and what an ade-
quate navy means to the nation, origi-
mated with the Navy League. Enthl-
siastic Endorsement was given the pro
posa by the naval officials, and with
the sanction of President Harding and
Secretary of the Navy Denby Navy
Day was created.
Plans for the observance of the day
were arranged through the Navy
League, which is a civilian orGaniza-
tion composed of prominent Americans,
founded years ago for the specific pur
pose of fostering a better public knowl
edge of the American Navy.
Radio Orations
Speakers will radio broadcast their
orations from many stations TO radio
fans scattered through the rural dis
tricts of the great central and western
states, as well as in the congested in
dustrial districts. The five movie news
reels viii all make the navy predomi
nant in their releases for that date.
In many of the larger cities special
celebrations are being planned, that
range from parades to mass meetings
which speakers of national prominence
will address. Here a banquet will be
held, which President Harding and
many other dignitaries have been asked
to attend.
Governors of all the states have
been asked by the league to issue n
proclamation or in some way make a
public statement asking the people Of
their state to cooperate. Mayors of
all the larger cities have been asked
to appeal TO the citizens of thcr towns
to exhibit flags and arrange civic cclc
brations.
American naval attaches in London
Rome and Paris have been Instructed
to lay upon the eenotaph of the Tn
known Dead a wreath, tied with Il rib
bon sent from here by The Navy
League.
At Oyster Bay, Admiral Hillary
Jones, eommander.in-chie of the At,
lantic fleet, will lay a wreath upon the
tomb of eX-Prcsident Roosevelt.
All along the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts there will be spectacular OBJ
servance of the day. Vessels of the
fleets have been scattered along the
coasts, some of them in every habor,
and on tomorrow will dress ship and
keep open house to visitors.
