CAREY REFUSES
TO SIGN COURT
HOUSE BONDS
Supervisors Will Appeal
to Appellate Court
in Wrangle
Scott Advises This AS
Best Way to Settle
Dispute

Another step has been taken IN
the solution Of the tangle in which
the courthouse bonds are involved,
when Walter D. Carey, county au-
ditor, informed the board of super
visors that he did not believe the
courthouse bond issue to be valid
and refused to sign them. Mr..
Garey's written statement to the
supervisors is as follows:
"Gentlemen:-
This is to advise you that / be-
lieve the courthouse bonds, hereto
fore voted in the sum of 100000.
to be invalid and that l refuse, as
county auditor, to sign same.
(Signed) WALTER D. CAREY y
Upon receipt Of Mr.. Garey's let
ter the supervisors passed the fol
lowing resolution:
"Whereas, w. D. Carey, the conn
ty auditor, has notified this board
in writing that he believes the
court house bonds 70 be invalid and
refuses to sign same, it is therefore
ordered that the district attorney
of Imperial County Immediately
make application to the district
court of appeals of the State OF
California for a writ of mandate
directed to w. d. Carey, county au
ditor, demanding him to sign said
bonds. ...s
1t is explained by the superris-
ors that Mr.. Garey's refusal to sign
the bonds is made in an effort, TO
bring the question Of the validity of
the bonds into court and obtain an
opinion from the appellate court
that will remove all doubt as to
their legality.
Charles f. Scott, assistant dis
trict attorney, advised the super
yisors that in event validating
act was obtained from the state leg
islature, some question might arise
in the future regarding the bonds
and he believed the best way to
settle the matter was to have the
auditor refuse to sign the bonds and
let the court decide the question of
their validity.

EUROPE'S F ATE
IN BALANCE AT
new CONFERENCE
Expect u. S. Domination
at Allied Farley in
London
France Hoping to Divert
Financial Discussion
to Brussels
By ED. L. KEENE

! Copyright, 1922, by United Press)
LONDON, Dee. 7.-America is
expected to dominate the conference
of allied premiers here next Satur-
day in much the same manner as
the United States made its voice
heard at Lausanne, according to be-
lief in British official circles.
Ambassador Harvey's speech at
the Lvceum Club Monday night, in
which he said the fate of Europe
hung upon the coming week end con-
ference, was inadequately reported
and diplomats here are just begin
ming to discuss it.
Considerable importance in this
connection is attached to arrival
here of United States ministers to
Brussels and Berlin.
Additional significance is lent the
participation of an American OBJ
server at the premier's parley by
the fact that Raymond Poincare,
prime minister of France, is now
expected to try to exclude the ques-
ton of reparations from the London
discussions, hoping to force a finan-
cial conference at Brussels.

CENTRAL LOSES

GAMES OF YEAR

Vote of H0ltville,
Bradley Out
kliegel Professional for
Playing Ball Game,
Is Decision

Russell j. Kliegel, captain Of Ell
Centre high school football team,
and high school reporter for the I'm
perial Valley Press, does not relate a
part of the story surrounding the
meeting of the athletic association
last night in his account of it, which
follows. 1t was the effect of the
decision on him. Kliegel, a senior
in the high school, is possibly the
hardest working high school student
at Central Union. He drives a bus,
works with his father and writes for
the Press to help finance his way
through school. He had hoped to go
to college-had dreams of playing
guard on a college team-but today
his hopes are gone. He is barred
forever.
He fought hard for Central Union.
Now he says he lost for Central
Union. All because he played on a
local baseball game last year, though
ne received not one cent for it. But
rules say he is out, and Central
loses. Kliegel says the association
knows best, matters not how hard
it hits him and his team.
(But Kliegel is going ahead just
the same. As game as ever. He
may give up going to college but he
is still game fighter and hard
worker, doing his best. He is good
sport.--CITY EDlTOR.)

CONTRACT FOR
YUMA ROAD JOB
Paving of 63 Miles OF
Road to Start Soon,
Other Road Work

Claud Miller and l.. White, CON
tractors formerly of FL Centre, have
been awarded the contract for 43
miles of road paving in Yuma Coun,
ty, Arizona, according to word
brought to this city today by p. Il.

day night by the city council.
The Yuma highway will be Il link
in the road to Phoenix, and is being
put in by the county with money
received from $l,200,000 bond issue
voted some time ago.
The 43-mile road is said to be the
longest stretch of highway ever
built under one contract in this part
Of the country. 1t will be an i'm
portant link in the Bankhead ma
tional highway, which goes through
Imperial Valley.
Road building in this district is
rapidly filling in the bad places,
The state highway department will
on December IS, open bids for To-
mile strip of road from the High
line ditch to the plank road, dis
tance of % miles.

LugO Asks Courts
to End Tia Juana
Case by Saturday
By Press staff Correspondent

CALEXICO, Dee. THE fight
for control of the racing course at
Tia Juana, which has stirred things
up a great deal during the past sew
eral months, is about to come to a
definite conclusion, according to
available reports today.
The closing of the track on Tues
day was due to misapprehension ere
ated by the wiring of news to Pres
ident Obregon that a state of chaos
existed at Tia Juana, following
which Governor LugO was ordered
to close the track and guard it. On
investigation of conditions, Lugo
wired General Gales that the report
was an exaggeration, and subsequent
orders from Mexico City were to
raise the embargo, and permit the
racing to be resumed.
1t is further stated that Obregon,
in issuing orders through General
Gales, has wired federal court Off
cials to settle, definitely, and once
and for all, the question as to the
right of one or the other of the con-
testants to operate the race course,
within a period of five days, which
order, if followed, will mean that
the question of supremacy will be
decided by Friday or Saturday.
In the meantime, two airplanes,
one with Coffroth attorneys and one
with Bassity lawyers, left Tia Juana
Yesterday afternoon, bound for La
Paz, where the legal fight will
probably be concluded.
Bassity has won all points in the
legal battle up until that time when
an under judge upset the ruling of
superior and gave the course into
the hands of COffroth.
A soldier officer in command at
Tia Juana has been relieved because
of his interference, by General Fer
rere, according to report, and has
been severely censured for his acts
1t is almost certain that Obregon
will not interfere in the legal bat
tie, except to enforce the rulings OF
the courts, if that be necessary.

BY r. j. KLIEGEL
Press High School Reporter

r. j. Kliegel, captain Of the Ell
Centre football team, was barred
from further participation in all high
Principal j. A.. Rate, Calexico, at
the meeting of the Imperial Valley
Athletic Association held at the
local high school last night.
The motion was: That Kliegel be
disbarred on two counts Of profes-
sionalism, first that he played under
an assumed name and second that
the teams he played with were play
ing for a purse.
Also that all games of football he
played in be forfeited. This motion
was seconded by Brawley and ear
ried by four schools voting for it
and one against. The sixth school,
Calipatria, was not present.
Bud Ansyln, of the Brawley team,
was also disqualified as being over
age. This was proven by the fact
that he registered and voted at the
last election. This forced Brawley
to foreit five of her games.
Calexico forfeited the first three
games of the season in which Ralph
Bradley played. He was ruled in
eligible because he did not attend
school last year.
BY process of elimination Calexi-
co and Holtville were left tied for
the championship. The matter as
to which one of the schools should
have it was put to vote and Calex.
leo was awarded the championship.
As nearly as can be figured the
teams finished the season as fol
