he did. And 1t wasn't his fault that

at home before the fire every evening

No wonder he was surprised. He
hadn't married Mary--he never knew
Mary at all. But, do you know? I'd
never thought Of that before until
Mother said what she did. Why, prob
ably Jerry was just as much disap-
pointed to find his Marie turned into
Mary as l.
But Mother was talking again.
She said that she thought Jerry was
a wonderful man, In some ways; that
she never saw a man with such charm
and magnetism, or one who could so
readily adapt himself to different per-
sons and circumstances. And she said
she was very sure If Mary could only
show little more interest in pictures

cuss lights and shadows and perspec-
tives, that nothing would be lost, and
that something might be gained; that
there was nothing, anyway, like COM

She was speaking Of Eunice. She
said once more that because of her,
she knew that she need never fear any

WATSON MAKES
KEYNOTE SPEECH
FOR REPUBLICANS

INDIANAPOLIS May 24.-Wages of
railroad workers must come down, along
with lower freight rates, James E. Wat
son, United States senator declared to-
day in addressing the Republican state
convention.
Albert j. Beveridge, Republican nomi-
nee for the senate seat now occupied by
Harry S. New, in speaking before the
convention announced the platform
which showed little change from planks
on which he stood in the primary.
Beveridge declared Indiana Republi-
cans were "unshattered by factiOnal-
ism''
National significance was attached to
Watson s speech because he is under
stood to have discussed it thoroughly
last week with President Harding in
Washington.
Watson asserted that the administra-
ton does not need an apologist, but only
some one to tell Of it's accomplishments.
He praised the pending tariff bill, pre-
dicted the Republicans are leading the
country back to more prosperous bust
ness conditions and conservative Amerl-
canism, and asked united party support
of Albert j. Bcveridge, recently nomi-
mated for senator over Harry s. New.
Unusual importance is attached to Wat
son s statements regarding the bonus,
because of his EesNst. HnfeSenee- on the
matter with President Harding. He
clearly indicated he believes Harding
will sign the bill passed by congress and
that it finally will be paid out of allied
debt bonds.
The senator s prediction of lawer tax
es next year was made after he asserted
that the tax burden under the law re-
Gently enacted by congress was de-
creased 81, ,3OO,OOO,OO0. He also predict
ed early enactment of a sales tax as a
permanent feature of the sales tax plan.

FEAR RIVER CHANGE
- Il. ai1s ~
Government Engineers At
Blythe From War
Department

Two army engineers dispatched by
the war department at Washington have
arrived at Blythe from Los Angeles
for the purpose of investigating the
flood situation and to formulate plan
to divert the raging waters of the Col
orado river from the wide break in the
levee.
The engineers were summoned to the
Palo Verde valley by the war depart
ment at the request of Frank Virgins,
secretary Of the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce, it is said.
Fear is manifested by the people Of
the valley that the Colorado river, now
pouring over three quarters of its
volume into the Palo Verde valley
through the break, will form q new
permanent channel unless immediate
action is taken to fill the gap. This
tmeans that $4,000 acres will be auto
matically thrown on the east side of
the old river bed, by which it will be-
come territory belonging to the state Of
Arizona.
w. N. Fox, commercial moving pho
tographer, arrived in Ell Centro this
morning from the flooded area. He
says the break in the levee is about 700
wide and has depth of 80 feet and
the valley is still flooded.
The Colorado river shows discharge
of $4,000 feet today at Pescadero cut
where it exceeded 10000 recently.

BREEDLOVE'S FATE
WITH JURY TONIGHT

After two days Of argument by the
counsel for the state and defense, the
jury retired to deliberate the guilt or
innicence Of Phil Breedlove late this af
ternOon.
Following a long address by District
Attorney Simon, Judge Conkling in
structed the jurors on the law applicable
to the Gase.
Breedlove's counsel, Joseph Semour,
c. L. Brown and Il. G. Timmons, en-
rhasized the justification for Breedlove
preserving the sanctity of home by kill
ing the person who attempted to break
up his home and family, pleading tenn
puOrary insanity caused the grief, worry
and mental strain, under which he kill
ed Rex Samples.
Simon and Chas. E. Scott, for the
state, argued that Breedlove was not
temporarily insane at the time of the
shooting and that the act had been pre-.
meditated.
On this point in his jury instructions,
Judge COnkling said in part:
"There has been set up in this case,
another defense which, while it does not
come within the meaning of the term
justification, still if established to
your satisfaction, it is complete de-
Tense. This defense so submitted to you
is the claim put forward on the part of
defendant that at the moment of the al
legged killing he was in such deranged
condition of mind by reason of grief,
worry and mental strain, that he was
unable to appreciate the quality of his
act and did not know that he was doing
wrong.
"This condition OF mind is known as
temporary insanity. Temporary insanity
is as we'll recognized in our law as any
other insanity. In fact, the only in
sanity recognized by our law as a de-
tense to crime is the condition of mind
I have just described, and to make it a
defense to crime, it must have existed
at the moment before or after the mo-
ment of the alleged offense, while gen
orally material, is not a matter of first
Importance.
"Mere uncomfortable temper or ire
sistible impulse does not constitute this
insanity and has no recognition under
our law. To constitute such temporary
insanity, there must be such condition
of mind rs that the person charged does
not know the particular act is wrong
and that he is doing something he ought
not to do. And this condition of mind
need only be with respect to the one
thing, the killing with which he is
charged and the person may be entirely
rational with respect to everything else
If, therefore, you are satisfied that such
was the condition OF. defendant s mind
at the moment of the killing charged
you should acquit him.

SWING SUPPORT
FOR DAM BILL

After hearing address by M. A.
Mackey Of Imperial and J. H. Cross of
Ell Centro, at the meeting of EastsiGe
Sunset Farm Center last night, on Con-
gressman Swings bill for the con-
struction of the Boulder Dam and All
American Canal, members Of the farm
center appointed~Messrs. Griffin, Fer
guson and Shawyer a committee to
draft resolutions wired today to Con
gressman Swing urging immediate pas
sage of his bill, and assuring him of
support.
Vern DeTarr, assistant farm advisor,
gave a short address ON the necessity
of testing cows for tuberculosis. 1t
was his first appearance at any of the
farm centers and he was cordially re
ceived.
County Auditor, w. R. Gary spoke on
the court house bonds and urged every
member of the center to get ont and
vote on this proposition as one of vital
Importance to every inhabitant OF the
valley.
Benefits which county derives from
an annual fair were pointed out by
Senator Clifford Coggins and j. w.
Scott of the United States land Of
flee, who asked the members of the
farm center to boost for the passage
of the county fair bonds at the COM
ing election.
Attorney J. w. Glassford gave inter
esting data on the work of the state
travelling farm bureau. c. c. jenkins
reported on progress made on the coun-
ty fair and in reply to inquiries said
it had been decided from the begin
ming that there will be no gambling
or fakirs allowed. Mr.. jenkins urged
the farmers to send in exhibits for the
fair and warned them against slowing
down interest during summer months.

was rendered by members OF the farm
center and the ladies of the home de-
partment served lunch. About 100 were

vide the people of the United States
with adequate transportation.
i Rate Deflation Delayed
"Deflation has taken place to a
greater or less extent in wages and
original prices of commodities in nearly
all branches of industry, but most
transportation charges are still nearer
the peak
Until the public els convinced that
there is little likelihood of further ma
terial reductions in prices of transport
alton charges, the confidence necessary
to normal business will to that extent
be impaired,' the ruling stated.
Commissioners Cox and Lewis wrote
dissenting reports as to the manner of
making the cuts and their extent, while
Chairman McChord, Commissioners
Eastman and Lewis disagreed with
other phases of the findings.
Commissioner Lewis held that the de-
crease was too small to be of much
good in cutting living costs and help
ing business back to normal.
Cox argued that passenger fares also
should be cut
Chairman McChord took exception
in a separate opinion to financing the
railroads to Il 81 percent annual re-
turn.
cat this time said McChord, 81
am opposed to fixing a rate of annual
return on the aggregate value of the
railroad property and in any event to
rate of 5.75 percent. If return is
to be fixed at all, it should not exceed
5.5 percent which was fixed by con-
gress at time when conditions were
at their worst and which seems to be
not only adequate for present condi-
tions, but for future adjustment. -
The rate decision, Commissioner East
man said, should have been deferred
until the labor board rendered .decis-
ion on railroad wages.
Howard Elliott of the Northern Pa
cific, said the order was not a surprise,
and ventured the opinion that the COM
