SHERIFF DEM ES
CALEXICO STORY
OF JAIL ESCAPES
No !, Ground, He Says
for Border Police
Story

Statements in the Saturday issue
of n Calexico paper in which the
claim was made that the police of
that city have complained relative
to prisoners whom they have sent
to Jail escaping from that institu-
tion and causing them much annoy
ance by committing further deprc-
dations when it was assumed they
were safe in Jail, were vehemently
denied this morning by Sheriff
Charles l.. Gillett, when shown the
article referred to.
The sheriff declared in Il state
ment to the Press, that not one
prisoner has escaped from Jail since
he took charge in January. One
woman prisoner escaped from the
county farm several weeks ago,
following her transfer there from
Jail, conditions at the county farm
making it impossible to keep in
mates strictly under guard as ut
penal institution.
Three minor offenders also man.
aged to clude their guard during
the time they were rendering assis-
tance to the Automobile Show, when
the tent was blown down, but these
had already served the greater part
of their sentences.
The article mentioned specifical-
ly stated "jail breaks and to this
the sheriff makes strong objection,
as no prisoner has escaped and none
will, he maintains, if he can posi-
bly, help it.

portunity to shcw his love for the
dead Z who sleep "In Flanders
Fields and his gratitude for the

in this capacitl by Boycc Aten Post.

sale of poppies on Memorial Dav.
In this connection it should be
stated that there is no connection
between the sale of poppies and the
! Graves Endowment Fund. The pop
pies are to be sold and worn on
/, Memorial Day in honor of the
American Army and Navy dead.
| Any profit the Legion posts derive
from this sale is their own, but
practically every post in the coun.
try has voted to turn over any
money so received to the Graves
Endowment Fund.
All contributions will be forward

made by the National Treasurer of

REVERSES RULING
Foreign Ships Must Be
Dry When Near
u. S. Coast
By United Press Lensed Wire

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The
United States Supreme Court today
decided that neither American nor
foreign ships can legally bring
liquor inside the three mile limit OF
American territorial waters, but
that outside that limit both Ameri-
can and foreign ships are no longer
subject to American prohibition
laws.
The court 8 decision knocked out
in part the ruling of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty, which held that the
government had power to prohibit
American ships anywhere on the
seas from carrying liquor ana that
it also could prohibit foreign ships
bringing it within the three mile
limit.
As to American ships, the Daugh-
erty ruling was reversed; as to for.
eign ships it was upheld.
Today's decision was handed
down by the court on appeal from
an opinion Of Federal Judge Learn.
ed Hand in New York which up.
held the Daugherty ruling. For the
American lines the appeal was
brought by the United American
lines, which claimed it was illegal
to prohibit them from operating
their bars when an American ship
p:.sscd out of the three mile zone.

CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED TO COLLECT
FUNDS In VALLEY TO HELP DECORATE
FRENCH GRAVES $4,000 u. S. LADS

Believing that many people in FL
Centric and other parts Of Imperial
Valley are unaware Of the purpose
Of tho American Legion's Graves
Endowment Fund, which at present
is attracting nationwide attention,
as the time for Memorial Day draws
rear, Boyce Aten Post, No. rs, has
asked the Press to explain the OBJ
ject of the fund and assist III enab
ling the people of Ell Certro to make
contributions toward it.
Some time ago, the Legion con
ceived the idea Of decorating the
graves Of the American soldiers who
are buried in Europe, each year on
Memorial Day. 1t has been esti-
mated there are $4,000 American
boys, sleeping in France, Belgium
and other parts of Europe, and the
Legion proposes to raise 4 fund of
5000, GOO which will be used to pro-
vide permanent annual decoration
Of each grave on Memorial Day.
Fund Open to All
In some way, people have gained
the impression that contributions to
the fund are received only from
members of the American Legion
or ex-service men. On the contrary,
the Legion, believing that practical
ly every patriotic American will be
only too glad to assist in raising
this fund, welcomes contributions
from everyone. In other cities,
money has been received from men
and women in all walks of life,
from schoolchildren and even from
inmates of penal institutions. just
as the World War was no respeetor
of persons, so there are no limita-
tions on contributions to the Graves
Endowment Fnntf. 81 gs
AS no more war dead will be
brought to this country from Eur
opc, these $4,000 American graves
will remain there forever, shrine
for patriotic Americans and all low
ers of liberty, and a constant re-
minder that they gave their lives
fighting for the ideals and high
purpose of the United States of
America.
Legion Remembers
In the last five years, most Amer
leans have only too soon forgotten
the splendid spirit of patriotism
which aroused this country in 1917
and 1913, and the ex-service man
too frequently has had stormy
time of it. The dead in Franco
might well nigh be forgotten, were
