received letters concerning his
wife.
In the brief Maloney maintains
that undergarments of Mrs. Ryan
were found in Maxwell s ::nartmcnt.
He submitted a radiogram said to
have been sent to Maxwell by Mrs.
Ryan in which she called him
''loye' and said she wished he was
'the father of my children.
Husbands Reticent
Other husbands are reticent to
come forward with their evidence.
All evidence Malonev has now he
says, is circumstantial. The letters
were all mailed in New York and
written on a typewriter. They con-
tanned obscenities and unnecessary
details intended to enrage their re-
cipients.
Maxwell contends that he could
not possibly have written all the
notes. He received many Of them
himself and helped in the investiga-
tion of their authorship, started
three years ago by the postal de-
Vlrtment. THE Investigation led
to nothing.
While president of the American
Society Of Authors, Composers and
Publishers, Maxwell received one of
the notes in Cuba. 1t WAS mailed
from New York four days after he
sailed. Another was received by
him while he lay sick in the bed
where he had been confined for a
week.
Maloney's theory on this is that
Maxwell had a confederate-possibly
Il woman. 1t might have been a
jealous woman who tried to blight
all Of Maxwell s loves so that she
could have him for herself.
"But we are lacking in legal
court evidence,' Maloncy says.

ban, has come forward warmly to

German Farmers
Refuse Marks as
Pay for Produce
By CARL D. GROAT
United Press Staff Correspondcnt

BERLIN, July 25.-The contin-
ued fall of the mark, not only in
exchange value, but in domestic
purchasing power is rapidly bring
ing Germany to the point of old
fashioned bartcring in kind.
\ strong tendency IS developing
among farmers to refuse to accept
payment in marks for their produce.
It has become question in many
cases not of how many potatoes can
be bought for 80 many thousand
marks, but how many potatoes will
be exchanged for gold watch or a
phonograph. The farmer looks with
more favor on piece of jcwelry or
household furniture in return for
a bag of onions, than upon Il fist
full of paper marks.
With marks ut 81 ,430 to the dol
lar, the effect is beginning to show
not only economically but political
ly. The elections of the metal un-
ions just held resulted in over
whelming communist victories
throughout Germany. The radical
leaders in the metal unions were
swept into complete control.
Food prices are getting to the
point where workmen are unable to
make purchases.
Food prices not only follow but
Surpass the dollar quotation, while
wages are regulated only twice a
month to keep pace with the des-
cending value of the mark. Failure
10 accomplish any degree of stabil-
ization of the money value is re-
sulting in great dscouragement
among the workers. This is being
reflected in the turn to the more
radical elements. The socialists are
announcing that strong attack
will be made on the government

W. w. may be forced to close its
headquarters here it was indicated
today.
Judge Mcdaniel dealt the organi-
zation an adverse blow yesterday
in throwing the case of Alfred
kohn, l. w. w. attorney out of
court. Kohn brough suit to res
train the district attorney and po-
lice from raiding the organization s
headquarters. He contended the
police were exceeding their autho-
rity in conducting raids on the of
ficers, which he said were used
merely to further the defense Of
members of the body on trial in
the courts.
Counsel for the city filed de,
murrer claiming the offices were
used for propaganda purposes and
that the material seized in the
raids consisted exclusively of such
matter.
Recently Kolf asked for a tenn
porary injunction to prevent raids
but was refused. The dismissal of
the case it is said, will force the

MARSHAL SAYS
WHISKY FAIRLY
GOOD EIDENCE'

cit tastes to me like fairly good
cvidencc,' said City Marshal biz
ncy of Imperial, in Justice May
field s court this morning, where
the second trial of Manuel Alvarez,
proprietor of the Martinez Rooms
at Imperial, charged with posses
sion of liquor, is in progress. The
first trial, held last week, resulted
in disagreement by the jury.
At Dizney's remark, laugh
went about the courtroom, one of
several which occurred during the
morning. The marshal had just fin
ished taking good nip at Il bottle
of Sunnybrook, and therefore knew
whereof he spoke.
In view of the premium ON whis-
key at present, and the way in
which the evidence circulated at the
former trial, it was expected that
there would be n rush for duty at
the present trial, but several citi,
zens made strenuous efforts to
avoid sitting in the trial. 4 num-
Der of women were included in the
Vcnire, one of whom "just couldn t
act on the jury as she had n card
party scheduled for this after
noon" She remained to be qucs-
toned however, but was finally re-
fused by the defense, none of the
other women being accepted either.
The trial is in progress this af-
tcrnoon and is expected to 20 to the
jury at a late hour.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-By or
der of the Secretary of Agriculture
the existing quarantine measure
prohibiting the importation of seed
or paddy rice from certain designat-
ed foreign countries, on account of
injurious plant diseases and insect
pests, has been extended to apply
to ak foreign countries except Mex
leo, from which country importa-
tions are PROVISIONAL The extend
ed quarantine known as Quarantine
No. 50 will be effective September
l, 1928.
The restrictions covering the i'm
portatiOn of seed rice will not af-
feet in any manner the movement
into the United States of milled and
brown rice for consumption pur-
poses. The action is directed only
at unmilled or unhusked rice in
tended for seed purposes and which
has been shown to be capable of
carrying wide range of fungous
diseases. Such diseases can be
carried not only on the seed rice
itself but on fragments of leaves,
stems, and other parts Of the rice
plant which may be intcrmixed
with the seed.
The action was taken after the
proposed restrictions had been con-
sidered at a public hearing held
by the Federal Horticultural Board,
June II. 1t was represented at the
hearing that the rice industry of
Mexico is, much of it, of recent
origin, and that the rice cultures

COURT ORDERS
CAREY 10 PAY
Cal. MOUSSEAU
Holds Salary as Purchas'
ing Agent Is Legal
Charge

Judge NJ. w. Conkling has grant
ed Il writ of mandamus, directed to
Walter D. Carey, county auditor,
ordering him to honor the warrant
of Calvin G. M0usscau for pay
ment of salary us purchasing agent
of Imperial County. following a
friendly suit brought by Mousscau
to obtain Il ruling on the question
of salary.
The memorandum opinion by
Judge Conkling states that Nous
soau is the duly elected clerk of
Imperial County, and subsequent to
his election was appointed purchas-
ing agent for the county by the
board of supervisors. The county
auditor refused the demand of the
purchasing agent for salary, con
Sidering it an increase in salary un-
der section 1890 of the political
code of California which states,
"The salaries and fees provided
in this title shall be in full compcn-
sation for all service of every kind
and description rendered by the
officers named in this title either
as officers or cx-officio officers,
their deputies and assistants, un-
less this title otherwise provided. 3"
Judge ConkIing calls attention
to the fact that section 4O41 of the
political code, providing for pur-
chasing agent and his salary, is a
part of the same title as section
1920 and therefore falls within the
exception mentioned in that sec
tion, "unlcss in this title otherwise
provided. - The court said:
"Thc law seems to recognize the
fact that there may be public eco
nomy in one county officer holding
two offices, according to section
I0l9 Of the political code. The
pcremptory writ of mandamus will
be allowed" "
