BAKER BITTER
OVER BAIL
United Press Leased Wire

LOS SANGELES, June 16-Nathan A.
Baker, kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan
who is declared to have admitted thai
he organized and directed the masked
raid on the town of Inglewood, remain
ed imprisoned today.
The khan organization which produc-
ed $500 bail for 80 other persons in
dicted in connection with the grand
jury investigation of the raid, failed
to raise the bond for Baker, after Judge
Houser had reduced the amount from
$4,000 to $4,000.
King Kleagle Price, now the official
and recognized leader of the Pacific
Coast klansmen, said that he did not
know where Baker could get a bonds
man, and the kleagle was returned to
his cell apparently embittered at the
failure of his comrades to come to his
support.
Price today declared that he was
certain VIM. S. Coburn, former grand
goblin and only indicted klansman who
has failed to appear, would return in
time for trial. Though Coburn was
again reported to have left Atlanta,
Ga, no word has since been received
from him, and Price was rather indef-
mite about the time Coburn would re-

JULY MAY SEE
BIG STRIKE

CINCINNATI, o., June 16.-A rail
road strike on about July l, is now re-
garded by labor leaders here as envit-
able unless the government interevenes
to prevent it.
Some of the union leaders here repre-
senting the IL shop crafts and main
tenance Of way workers involved be-
lieve President Harding will avert the
strike at the last moment by using his
influence to have the labor board hold
up reductions ordered for July l.
With the unions voting overwhelm-
ingly for a strike, according to an
nouncement of the union headquarters
here, the leaders are formally and pub
licly on record as refusing to accept re-
sponsibility for the strike.
For the second time in two days, the
American Federation of Labor conven-
tion here today struck at the Zone big
union Idea and the radicals who sup
port it.
The convention rejected a resolution
providing for universal union label
to be used by all trades, instead Of the
81 different labels now in use.
The expected fight by radicals for
the one big union plan did not develop
on either resolution.

CANTALOUPES CLIMB
TO274CARS

Cantaloupe shipments from the val
ley today are estimated by the bureau
of markets at 274 ears, which is near
ing the expected peak of 300 ears
daily. Yesterday PA ears were shipped.
The market in the east is reported
good with considerable special demand
for Imperial valley cantaloupes. A ship
ment of 122 cars of Georgia cantaloupes
was received in eastern markets yester-
day. This is the greatest number ever
shipped from that section in one day
1t is estimated the crop in Georgia
this year will reach 1900 cars, which
is double the amount shipped last year.
While this may have some bearing on
the market, it is felt, according to the
bureau of markets that it will not be
noticeable, as far as Imperial valley
growers are concerned, owing to the
fact that local melons hold the prefer
ence by quality.

MARCONI LISTENS
LONG BUT MARS
WON'T SAY WORD

NEW YORK, June 16.-Myster-
ious sounds came from out the ether
to the powerful, but delicately
tuned receiving sets in Senior
William Marconi's private cabin
during his fortnight vigil on the
Atlanta awaiting messages from
Mars. But the visiting planet,
closer now than for nine years,
failed to communicate definitely
with the earth, the inventor said
upon arrival off New York today.
ct listened practically all the
time, day and night for two
weeks Marconi said in an exclus-
i've interview with the United
Press. 81 had my own instru-
ments ready, so they would receive
from anybody, no matter where or
who might send.
Several times heard myster-
ious sounds I could not understand
or explain. I do not think they
were from Mars. I shall continue
to try to receive communications
from Mars, however slight the
chances of success.
Sunday when the planet comes
closest to us, shall be 'on the job
as you say, all day to pick up pos
sible messages.
Senior Marconi was accompanied
on his voyage, which had its in
ception in the possibility of receiv-
ing radio waves from Mars, by Mr..
Paine and G.. Mateu, the latter a
scientific engineer.
They told of how the perforator
of the wireless instrument was con-
stantly in his little cabin, the most
perfectly equipped radio sroom in
the world, half convinced that mes
sages from Mars might be forth
coming.
Marconi told Of his latest in.
ventioI, nearly perfected, which
enables him to send wireless waves
in any given direction instead of
broadcasting.
He declared he now is able to
send 100 miles straight ahead
to a receiver and be uninterrupted.

PHOENIX, Ariz., June l6.-In an
effort to reach agreement on some plan

state throwing square miles of Ari'

MilliOnaire's Brother Gives
Inside Version of
Shooting
MARK FOR GAMBLERS
Demand for $4,000 Comes
On Heels Of 100000
Payment
United Press Leased Wire

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, June TO-
The inside story of the blackmail plot,
which caused Walter S. Ward, million
aire son, to shoot and kill Clarence
Peters, alleged member of the gang
which was seeking to "bleed him
white' has been told Justice Mors-
chauser by Ralph d. Ward, his brother,
it was learned today.
With Walter S. Ward in a cell here
under indictment on Il charge of first
degree murder, and awaiting arraign
ment today, the authorities are check
ing up on Ralph s statement to Justice
MOrschauser.
Their investigation may lead to the
arrest of two alleged blackmailers
known as "Jack' and "Ross'' Who
are believed to be race track habitues.
Killed to End Blackmail
The original story told by Walter
s. Ward of the killing of Clarence
Peters was lent credence by the testi-
mOny of his brother, it was learned.
Ward confessed killing Peters, claim
ing he did so to end unbearable black
mail that arose from his folies at the
track, according to the story told by his
brother.
Gambling more and more heavily he
had become involved with and in debt
to certain hangers on at New York
race meets.
He was urged to bet more and moro,
and each time he lost and went deeper
in debt He was commissioner of the
New Rochelle police and prominent
citizen whose early record furnished
the blackmailers with what they con-
sidered lever to extort money. Ward
was easy prey Then a threat was made
involving exposure of another member
of the Ward family.
Paid $4,000 Extortion
Ward had no choice but to pay, his
brother said. He paid at one time
$4,000, it was believed, in a desperate
effort to quiet his prosecutors.
The blackmailers, known to Ward as
"Jack' and "Ross,'' made Ward s
life hell, according to his brother. They
were each day with new threats and
more exorbitant demands.
Nearly distracted by the persecution,
Ward, was forced to refuse the black
mailer s demands for $75, 900. He hadn t
the money available.
Then the threats of "Jack' and
" Ross became more violent. They
threatened to expose still another mem
Der of the Ward family.
They declared they would tell of
Ward s own early life, and of an in
cident he wished to conceal
Finally the night before the killing
of Peters, the blackmailers lured Ward
to lonely spot near White Plains, ac.
cording to his brother s story. AS he
left hurriedly in his coupe after an
angry meeting, they fired two shots at
him. The next night Ward went armed
to rendezvous. 1t was on this second
occasion, his brother believes, that
Walter shot Peters in self defense.

VALLEY CHAMBERS
JOIN CELEBRATION

Plans for celebrating the 2lst an
niversary of the coming of water to
the valley at Brawley June "a, were
formulated at meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the associated cham
bers of commerce in Brawley last night.
The celebration will be held in con-
junction with the annual picnic of the
farm bureau, and it is proposed to
make the celebration one that will be
remembered for a long time.
1t is estimated that approximately
900 will have to be raised outside
Brawley, that town raising an equal
sum. In order to do this, the cham
bers of commerce and commercial clubs
of the various towns will appoint com
mittees to solicit businessmen for funds
for the celebration.
The committee appointed to prepare
float for Ell Centre to appear in the
big street parade which will be given
during the day, is composed of Ross
T. Hickcox, chairman, H. G. Shafer and
G. L. Collins. This parade will be a
reproduction of the events in the valley
from the days of the pack mule to the
present time.
1t is expected that excursions will
be run from San Diego and other coast
towns as there are many former valley
people living in those sections who no
doubt will wish to be present at lmper-
al Valley s coming of age party.
