GRAPE PICKERS HERE
FOR SEASON WORK

Today marks the real opening of the
grape season in Imperial valley. The
morning train from Los Angeles
brought several outfits of. experienced
pickers chiefly for the Meloland vine
yard district. The men are mostly Ital-
ians and the railroad station resembled
circus unloading when they had their
baggage piled about awaiting trucks
In addition to personal belongings
they brought supply of food dear TO
the heart of the true Italian, which
they undoubtedly feared could not be
obtained in the valley and were taking
no chances on going without. Investi-
cation reyealed plenty of the redolent
garlic, genuine Italian olive oil, the
fiery red pepper and numerous sauces
and spices to season the dishes of the
laborers in the vineyard. Bystanders
were given q thrill when one of the
many boxes began to leak and the
owner set about opening it to rescue his
property from destruction. A brown
liquor OOZed from the corners of the
box, which to the onlOokers, strongly
resembled a beverage placed under the
ban by Mr.. Volstead. However, their
hopes Cor fears) were doomed to dis
appointment. The leaking vessel prov
ing to be can of mysterious sauce,
which rpsembled wine only in color.
Mandolins, guitars and accordians,
were not entrusted to the dangers of
transportation by express or truck, but
were clasped in the arms of owners. A
big black eat in n crate was the only
live pet to be seen. 1t insures a success
full season and brings good luck to
grape pickers.
b. A. Harrigan, assistant horticul-
tural commissioner, made n trip to the
vineyards at Meloland today and re-
ports prospects for an excellent crop
are bright. He made several tests of
Thompson seedless varieties, all of
which averaged better than 1870 and
are of excellent quality. 1t is expected
two carloads of this variety will be
shipped to eastern markets today from
Mclolond, and one ear from FL Centre.

LOS ANGELES, July l0.-Defini'c
announcement was made today by
Foreman b. w. George that the county
grand jury will start an investigation
Wednesday of charges made by Ida
Wright Jones, dismissed employc,
against District Attorney Thomas Lee
Woolwne. The ease has been disre-
garded by the grand jury since the in
ouiry was recommended by the civil

but has been the subject of repeated
agitation by members of the Citizens
Anti-Crime commission.
District Attorney Woolwine, it was
learned authoritatively, has in the
meantime prepared an elaborate de
Tense against Miss Jone s avowal that
he was intimate with her and against
more serious charges i'll her statement
to the commission.
Woolwine adheres to his statement
that he dismissed Miss Jones from his
employ as juvenile investigator be-
cause he learned she had made a ''men-
dacious" affidavit by which she in
tended to "ruin'' him by selling il TO
his political enemies for $4,000.
Miss Jones, Il woman past 40, denies
that she had any intention of selling
the affidavit, and charges that Wool
wines sole motive in removing her
from the office she had held for seven
years. was to be rid of her because he
was tired of her.

PRESIDENT PROPOSES
Mine ARBITRATION

WASHINGTON, July 10.-President
Harding today proposed federal arbi-
tration of the nation wide mine strike.
Before the conference of miners and
operators at the White House, the ex-
ecutive suggested that the dispute be
submitted to a federal commission COM
posed of three operators, three miners
and five persons to represent the
public, the president to appoint public
representatives.
Harding also again demanded that
operators and miners resume operations
pending the findings of the commission.
This commission would have until
August 10 TO arrange n new wage
scale. In the meantime, the old wage
scale would be effective and the men
would immedis istSty return to work.
If new wage scale cannot be
agreed upon by August 10, the presi-
dent suggested the present scale be con
tinued until 1923. Both miners and
operators would agree to accept as
final the findings of the commission.
John l.. Lewis, president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, announced that q
meeting of the policy committee of his
organization would be held in Wash
ngton Monday to determine whether
the executives plan should be ac-
cepted.

District Attorney Included
With Deputy Sheriffs
And Venire Men
OVERRULE OBJECTION
Defense in kidnapping Case
Questions Closely AS
To AffiliatiOn

Attorney Frank Birkhauser
exploded bombshell in Judge
Coles court this morning when
he requested the court to dis
miss the jury venire subpoen-
aed to hear the case Of Susano
Garcia, charged with kidnap-
ing.
Birkhauser contended that
the venire was illegally chosen,
that the deputy sheriffs issuing
summons for jurymen are
members of the Ku Klux Klan.
That the district attorney
prosecuting the case, and that
20 out of 25 members of the
venire are also members of the
Klan and prejudiced against
the defendant. After hearing
argument, the court overruled
the motion and selection of the
Jury continued.
Mr.. Birkhauser cOntended
that his client would be denied
fair and impartial jury from
such a venire and declared ity
"queer, to say the least, that
with such a large population
to choose from, the sheriff
should draw a venire, four
fifths of which are members of
the Ku Klux Klan."
This is Garcia's second trial
on the same charge, previous
jury having disagreed. Birk-
hauser said today that in his
opinion, the prosecution had de-
termined to obtain a jury that
would insure the conviction of
his client.
The fact that Garcia is a for
eigner and a Roman Catholic is
also reason for desiring a Ku
KluX Klan jury, according to
Birkhauser.
Deputy District Attorney Err
Finger appeared for the state
in opposition to Birkhauser's
motion and claims of possible
unfair consideration in the
trial.
Following the courts ruling
against his objection, Birkhaus-
er began to examine prospec-
tive jurors directly as to their
Klan affiliation, in each in
stance reading his formal OBJ
lection into the trial record
where admission of membership
or the fact of having taken. the
Klan oath was made. Various
men examined denied member
ship, but said they had taken
the oath. Others adNitted men,
bership.
Birkhauser's objection in
these instances were based on
alleged hostility of the Klan to
any foreign allegiance foreign
to the United States. Birkhaus-
er contends that this hostility
would be directed against his
client because of Garcia's OBJ
legation to the pope as head of
his church,
At 2 o'clock, with nine ten
tative jurors in the box. the

 But say, you should see the people who come in here, strangers, you know, not regular customers, and they say they want a turkey, and I pick one out. They say it is too big, and l say to them: Now how heavy tur- key would you likeY They say: I don't know, but I'll take that one.'

 A few nights ago his mother came from the upper rooms and announced bedtime. Little Florence ran upstairs immediately. Frank, up to his usual tricks, pushed the button, and off went the light. The overwhelming darkness frightened the little fellow. After a minute he asked: Mother, are you there?" "Yes, dear," said his amused mother. Another pause. Mother, are you 'fraid?"
 No, dear, are yOu?"
 "No, I ain't 'fraid, but you better put the light on. Pm 'fraid you win be 'fraid"

 The following day the three of us went to her house at noon. She looked little surprised as we came, but said nothing. After about a half an hour we wondered when we were to have dinner. She asked me why we were back from school so early that noon.
