Jesus Sanchez, who witnessed the
shooting of Frank Kuclos by T0mas
Camerila at Holtville last Friday, and
who has since been held by the police
for investigation, has been released
from custody afte rthe authorities were
satisfied he had no connection with
the actual shooting.
About midnight last night, Sanchez
returned to the Jail and asked deputy
Sheriff Tom Oliver, who was on duty
at the time, to lock him up again, and
intimated he was in fear that friends
of Carmerilla might do him harm. The
officer was unable to lock him up with
out charges being placed against him,
but owing to the iateness OF the hour,
him 10 stay overnight ut the
Jail. Sanchez told a straight forward
story Of the shooting to the officials
and has assisted them materially in in
vestigating the case.
No trace of Camerilla has been found
and the authorities are keeping close
watch on his home at CaIipatria, believ
ing he may attempt to return there
sooner or later.

The proxy committee checking the

All that was required of the stock

MRS. SWANSON HAS
ROUND UP OF MANY

CALIPATRIA, Nov. 23.-Albert Lo-
pez, was given sentence of 20 daSs
in jail by Judge Myers yesterday for
violation of the child labor act. Lopez
is cotton picker and was arrested on
complaint of Mrs. Effic Swanson, Ell
Centre, county truant officer, who is III
the city waging war on parents and
guardians who require their children to
assist in cotton picking Lopez sen
tence was changed to So fine when
il was learned he was the only support
of Il large family, which would suffer
by his absence.
just now it is the transient cotton
pickers who are giving the most
trouble. They follow the work around
the different parts Of the county and
resent being forced to send part Of
their 4" field force to school.
Although Mrs. Swanson and Profes-
sor Prince, superintendent Of the
school district, do not believe that any
material good will be done these timer
ant cotton pickers, the punishment has
q salutory effect on the resident Mex
leans who occasionally try to put their
children in the field.
Mrs. Swanson has sworn ont a mum
ber of warrants, and intends to keep
on until every advocate of child labor
has had taste of the law.

Chamber Commerce
Has Many Requests
For Data of Valley

Several weeks ago, j. II. Coyle, sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce,
addressed the superintendents of
schools in various cities throughout the
country, announcing that he would be
glad to furnish special data on Imper-
ial Valley and El Centre to school
teachers WHO desired it in connection
with their school work and is receiv-
ing requests each day from interested
parties.
This morning requests were received
from teachers in the Chicago Normal
School and the Pasadena schols, stat
ing they would be plased to receive
information on the valley for use in
their geography classes.
In the opinion of Mr.. Coyle and the
board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce, this is one of the finest
means of giving the highest type of
publicity to Imperial Valley, as it not
only interests teachers and school heads
in this community, but brings it to the
attention of the children.
The story of the development of the
valley is one that appeals to both old
and young and school children who be-
come familiar with the work being
done here while they are at school are
certain to retain their interest when
they grow older and in this way an
ever increasing number of prospects is
being built up for the valley.
Last week Mr.. Coyle received let.
ter from Lou Strohm, field manager of
the Metro Pictures Corporation, asking
assistance in locating cotton field
for "location in taking moving pie
tares and the secretary answered ad
vising there were plentoy of cotton
fields in the valley and he would be
glad to be of aid to the company in
obtaining the desired ''location.' To
day Mr.. Strohm advised that as soon
Us his company reached the necessary
stage in the picture, party of film
actors would come here to "shoot" the
required scenes and thanked the seero-
tary for his prompt offer of assistance.

COTTON EXPERTS
In WEEVIL. MENACE
WILL MEET TODAY
Cotton Men Are Now at
Washington to Study
Boil Weeyil

An effort to unity the various recon-
mendations being made by the different
states and federal government towards
assisting cotton growers in combating
the problems arising out of the boil
weevil menace will be made at Il con
ference in connection with the meet
ings of the Land Grant College Asso-
citation at Washington, ID. G., starting
today. Extension directors and college
presidents and ~leans of various cotton
states, as well as prominent officials of
the United States department of agri-
culture, are attending.
Among the important questions I'M
der discussion is that Of encouraging
the growth of uniform varieties of cot
ton in communities. Uniform time of
planting is another big factor in boil
wecvil control that has been up. The
opinion is expressed that if agreement
could be reached by the various in
terests on uniform varieties and time Of
Planting and the recommendation fol
lowed by the growers onethird of the
boil weevil problem would be solved.
Cotton, it is pointed out, is Il plant
that readily adapts itself to changes in
soil or climate. One variety, therefore
may prove valuable through wide
range. One of the big difficulties is the
long time that would be required to
effect complete change of variety.
Pure seed is hard to get, as mixcd va
rieties are so generally grown. Some
years would be required to produce
enough pure seed of any one variety to
bring about any big change.
The conference is also going into the
various methods now recommended for
controlling boil weevils under different
conditions. No attempt will be made to
dispose finally of the various problems
Of fighting the boil wcevil at this con
ference. Its work is intended TO pave
the way for another meeting later in
which all interests involved will be
represented.
The plan Of calling the conference
originated with DR.. IL. A. Morgan, pre-
sidcnt of the University of Tennessee,
who made three trips through the South
for the government Studying boil wccVil
conditions. DIR. Morgan believes that
unity in the methods recommended by
the states and the federal government
for combating the pest is one of thc
most important steps toward that end.
Practically all officials of the United
States department of agriculture con
ccrned in boil wcevi work are atten,-
ing the meeting.
