to be a drastic sealing down of rep
arations, with the United States
taking over German export, import

ARREST TRIO AS
AUTO SUSPECTS:
OFFICER MENACED
Believe Lincoln Car in
Their Possession Was
Stolen

Officers n. G. Deaton and Otto
Reber picked up men giving the
names of f. l.. McAllister, c. H..
Minter and A. f. Wilson, early this
morning, on suspicion that IA big
Lincoln car which the men were
driving was stolen. The officers
first spotted the car on Broadway
near Fifth street and noticing the
men, who were colored, standing
near it, went up to investigate.
Search of the car revealed a gun in
the front sea. Wilson pulled away
when he saw the Officers approach
ing and the latter took McAllister
and Minter to the county Jail. Re
turning to the City they picked up
Wilson near Fourth street. He at
tempted TO pull gun from Il holster
on his shoulder but was covered by
Reber and ordered to throw up his
hands. He WAS then taken to Jail
and the car brought to the police
station. Investigation of the con
tents showed several papers and
cards made out to w. IL. Starner.
A contract with a Los Angeles auto
mobile agency for the sale of the
ear, made out in the name of Me-
Allister, was also found. The polio
believe McAllister is the name Of
the real owner of the ear and that
the man arrested is using it to cover
up the theft.
The police department is commun-
icating with the Los Angeles police
and the Automobile Club of South
ern California to ascertain if nny
Lincoln ear had been stolen. The
registration card in the ear showed
it to be the property of f. l.. Me
Allister, 21l Center street, San Ped
TO. The car showed the appearance
of having been driven hard last
night and the fact that all the men
were armed leads the police to be-
lieve that everything is not as it
should be with the trio. The action
of Wilson in trying to draw Il gun
on Reber indicates that the men are
desperate and the police are of the
opinion that the information looked
for from Los Angeles may tend to
ineriminate the men.

100000 CASH
HOld-up Men Take Big

MANY WATCH THEFT
Guard is Shot by Gang
of Bandits in Big

DENVER, Dee. 1S.--Seven mask.
ed bandits today shot and perhaps
fatally wounded one Of the guards
of the United States Mint here,
wounded the driver of a federal re-
serve bank automobile and escaped
in an automobile with currency
totalling 100000.
The bandits drew up in front of
the mint in closed ear just as the
bank automobile, which had been
loaded with currency started away.
One of the bandits commanded the
driver of the car to stop. The others
covering the driver and the guard
with shot guns, transferred the
money to their own car.
Guards at the mint armed with
rifles and shotguns, opened fire ON
the bandit car. The fire was re
turned, one of the guards being in
stantly killed and the driver of the
bank ear seriously wounded. The
bandits stood on the curb and laid
down veritable barrage on the
door of the mint. Employees of the
mint shot at the bandits from wiz
dows and doors.
The hail of bullets from the
bandits guns riddled the front of
the mint and broke nearly every
window in one side of the building.
Scores of pedestrians and motorists,
attracted by the shooting, watched
the bandits as they leaped in their
ear and sped away. The license
number of the ear was obtained and
police Immediately started a city
wide search for the automobile.
Police reserves were rushed to the
scene and kept all persons away
from the mint.
The robbery was the most daring
in Denver S history. The bandits ap.
parently had planned the holdup
carefully and their action was
timed so that when the bank car
started away, the bandit automobile
crowded it into the curb and the
robbery staged.
The money was in five dollar bills
and was being taken to the federal
reserve bank. AS soon as the gun
battle started, guards on duty at
the mint rushed to the front door
and opened fire.

Everything Set for Completion of
Yuma-Phoenix Road; Next Big Move
Is to Get After HOltville- Yuma Road

Whole hearted cooperation with
California regarding the compile
ton of a highway from Phoenix to
Yuma that will open up the southern
door to California and make possible
an all-the-yearround entrance
through the southern part of the
state, was the spirit manifested by
the citizens of Yuma toward a del
tgation of Imperial Valley citizens
who visited there Saturday and
Sunday, according to George H.
Davis, assemblyman-elect, who was
a member of the party.
A committee from the Yuma
Chamber of Commerce met the val
ley party on its arrival in Yuma
Saturday and entertained them with
a splendid banquet, during which
speeches were made by j. II. West
over, Colonel b. +. Fly, j. Homer
Smith and George Downey of Yuma,
also George H. Davis, Ray Edgar,
and Senator E. p. Sample of San
Diego, members of the valley dele
CATION. Following the banquet the
party made trip to the east of
Yuma for the purpose of inspecting
Laguna dam and the highway to
Dome. Yesterday they visited the
experimental station at Bard. Every
where the Californians were greeted
with the assurance that Arizona is
with this state for the earliest posi-
BILE completion of the Bankhead
highway and all expressed the hope
that June /, 1923 will see the com
pletion of Il paved highway, or at
least a good gravel road, from
Phoenix to Yuma.
Take Data for New Road
Mr.. Davis stated this morning, the
trip was made for the purpose of
inspecting the route between Holt
vile and Yuma and ascertaining the
number of miles of highway neces-
sary to be built between these two
cities. The party also took data on
the advisability of retaining the
plank road or the advantages of
providing new route III it's place.
Owing to the defeat of the proposed
bond issue, providing for the con
struction of state highway from
Phoenix to Blythe and Ehrensburg,
the people in Yuma are highly en-
thusiastic regarding the construction
of the route between their city and
Phoenix, said Mr.. Davis, and are
working hard for that purpose.
In making the trip to Yuma, Mr..
Davis said the party encountered

Imperial Valley press., 1922-12-18

,over 40 cars headed toward Imper-
ial Valley, representing more than
half the states III the union and in
his opinion, the completion of the
road from Phoenix to Yuma will
greatly increase the extent of this
traffic.
sit is therefore necessary, he
said, q for the people of California
to hurry the completion of a good
road between YUMA and Imperial
Valley, so that we can take care
of this traffic when the Arizona
road is completed. This is not a
matter in which the people of I'M
perial Valley alone are interested,
for tourists from the east are going
to visit San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco and other California
points the same as they always have.
Very few of them, in proportion to
the number who come here, are go
ing to remain in Imperial Valley
and there is nothing selfish about
our desire to provide a good road
between the valley and Yuma. All
California will benefit by the con
struction of such a road and there is
no good reason why the matter
should be delayed.
Arizona Willing to Cooperate
"The Arizona people wish to co
operate with us and are doing it by
work they have in progress between
Phoenix and Yuma and it is up to
us to get busy on our end of the
highway. The road now existing be-
tween the valley and Yuma is not
an asset by any means, and is more
likely to discourage fasteners from
coming this way This is something
we cannot afford to allow to exist
any longer and ! hope we will all
get busy ON the subject and keep at
it until our object is Accomplished. =
Those making the party were H.
H. Brooks, Ray Edgar, Sam Griffin,
George II. Davis, }. l.. Travers, Ell

In addition to accomplishing a
great deal of good, all members of
the party reported very enjoyable
trip and were profuse in their eX-
pressions of gratitude for the hos
pitality extended to them by the
people in Arizona aud the east end
of the valley.

HOT FIGHT IS
ON To CAPTURE
DRUG PEDDLE RS
Wallie Reid Improving
in Fight Against
Narcotics
Authorities Say Dope
is Brought Across
Border
Ry United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1S.-Walie
Reid was today reported a little i'm
proved in health although he is not
yet out of danger. Physicians de-
clare Wally's present illness has
nothing to do with narcotics, or his
fight against them or with inordin-
ate use of liquor.
Reid made his fight to stop the
use of drugs and liquor, and won,
they say.
1t was after he was apparently
entirely recovered from the weak
ening effects of the fight that he
suffered his present mysterious col
lapse. Some of the best physicians
in the country have been called but
have been unable to accurately dag
nose the condition.
1t was feared Reid would die sew
eral times last week.
State investigators in Southern
California are now engaged in an
effort to bring to justice drug i'm
porters' and peddlers, one of whom
may have been the man alleged to
nave Suppiled wallace Reid, film
idol with narcotics, Louis Zeih, head
of the state pharmacy board, told
the United Press today.
He emphasized, however that his
force was in no way concerned
with an investigation of Reid S
ease more than any other case.
Two operatives now are in the
south and had hoped to arrest two
importers but Zeih expressed the
opinion that publication of Reid s
story and the sensation it has caused
will frighten.into cover' all mar
cote dealers and will prevent their
capture at this time.
The drugs, he said, seem to be
coming from Mexico into Arizona
and across the Arizona line into
Southern California.
