TRENTON HEARS
SIMPSON BOOM
For Attorney General Strick-
er Supposed to be Slated
for that Position

TRENTON, Nov. 21:--A boom for
Senator Alexander Simpson, of Hud-
SON county, Democratic senate floor
leader, for appointment as attorney
general at the hands of Governor
Silzer, was heard here yesterday. 1t
vas one of the bits of interesting
political gossip which developed
from governors day" at the capt.
toll. The name of Prosecute or Joseph
E. Stricken, of Middlesex, personal
friend of Governor Silzer, has been
frequently mentioned for his post,
which the governor will have to fill
on January 81 next when the term
of Thomas F. McCran expires. There
have been several comments too that
perhaps Mr. Stricken would not be
a candidate or accept the place.
1t is expected that Simpson will
again be minority spokesman in the
senate. The position of attorney
general pays $1,000 a year and the
term of McCran's successor will run
for five years. 1t will be one of the
most lucrative offices which the
present Democratic administration
will have to fill. 1t is believed the
selection of the Hudson senator
would be highly pleasing to the
Democratic hosts of that county
where he is unusually popular.
Little has been done to date to-
ward getting the House Democrats
together for the purpose of choos-
ing a leader for 1924. Several of
those who have been mentioned as
possibiliti IS were seen in the corri-
doris of the state House yesterday.
They included Assemblyman Fred
De Voc, of Middlesex. who is enter
ing on his fourth year and Assemb-
Linton S. Marshall, of Mercer
soon to begin his second. The names
of Assemblymen Alexander Craw-
ford, of Hudson, and Norris e.
Barison. OF the same county, are
also being discussed. The former is
starting his third year in the House
and the latter his second. Hudson
will have eleven votes in the caucus,
which is a majority of the eighteen
assembly members.

At me Ditmas

In her adaptation of that excit-
ing love story 1.-The Destroying
Angel" Leah Baird Is said to have
brought to the screen not only a
fascinating cabaret dancer who was
kidnapped in her r%avishing bathing
costume before the eyes of a multi
tude, but one of the fightingest he
roes and two of the meanest villains
ever played by Noah Berry and
Mitchell Lewis.
John Bowers is the hero of this
Louis Joseph Vance story. and he is
just now coming to be one of the
screens most popular fighting love
makers. He figures in the secret
marriage, faces death in the wild
motorboat chase after the villains
on Long Island Sound, and then
fails to recognize the m%ysteriously
missing bride when he finds her.
This affords Miss Baird. as the mys-
terry girl, her long awaited chance to
play comedy. Her teasing and play
full vamping of the love-blind hero
are said to keep the laughs popping
through the action like the rafting
of rapid-ire machine guns. It has
every right to be called an all-star
cast for all the leading players havs
been starred at some time. THE De-
~stroying Angel" will be the offerinE
on the screen at the Ditmas today
The end of colonization, 1t is esti
mated, will be reached in about 20t
! years time.

POULTRY DEALERS
ASSOCIATION FOR
COUNTY IS NEAR
Better Eggs and Better
Prices Aims of New
Body

Formation Of u Poultry Dealers
Association in Imperial Valley,
seems practically assured in Inpe-
rial County, following the recent
efforts of the Farm Bureau and Ag-
ricultural Extension Service to in
tercSt poultrYmen.
Two very successful meetings of
poultry men were held last week in
Rrawlcv and FL Centre, also scv-
cral demonstrations of better poul-
try methods were given at various
points in the valley.
Several members Of the San
Diego Poultry Producers AsSoeia-
ton addressed the meetings, among
them j. a. Romig, president of the
Association, Il. NJ. Whjtakcr, vice
president, and G.. c. Kcency, man
agcr. These men told of the expert
cnces of the San Diego poultrymen
in facing low market and disconr-
aging conditions, previous to the
formation Of their association, and
explained the success that has been
made possible since its formation.
The speakers believed it would
be possible to achieve the same sue
cess in Imperial Valley. The eggs
could be assembled in one or two
towns, centrally located, where they
would be graded, packed, and ship
ped to Los Angeles, to be marketed
through the Los Angeles Association
and advance this to the producers,
and when the eggs are sold later,
turn the balance over to them. II
was estimated the entire cost Of
the work done by the association
should cost no more than two cents
per dozen.
The farm bureau has appointed a
committee to work with similar com
mittees from the Imperial Valley
Bankers association and the Ass0-
ciated Chambers Of Commerce to
make Il careful survey TO determine
the dyisability of forming an ;,sSo-
citation TO market poultry products

are paying top prices at the Los
Angeles Union stock wards for good
900 to l950-lb steers. These are
selling right up ia $3.50 and $7.75
a cwt. Weighty steers up to 200
and 1900 pounds meet limited out
let and undersell light steers of
similar quality from 10 to 25c a
hundrcdweight.
Practically 9j per cent of the
cattle coming into the Los Angeles
Union Stock Yards at this season
of the year are from California
points, running largely to Srassers.
These are selling from 500 to 40
u cwt. Imperial Valley feeders are
now hurrying along the last of their
feedlot cattle in order to clear their
lost before the grass season starts
in earnest. The grass cattle run
is expected to reach its hcighth III

Jail Officials
Say Mexicans
Remember Best

Yesterday was visiting day at the
county Jail, rs are all Tuesdays ana
Fridays. To the average citizen,
this means little, but to the inmates
of the Jail and their relatives, th"
occasion is looked forward TO with
great eagcrness, according to n Jail
official.
This officer paid Il particular
tribute to the Mexican women, rel
atives. of MeXicans who are held in
the jail No matter what the crime
with which a Mexican is charged
may bS, when visiting day Genes
around, the majority of them are
visited by their women folks, who
carry baskets and packages Of deli
cacies, pies, cakes, tobacco and other
articles.
Prisoners who are permitted to re-
ccivc visitors, are usually brought
in twos, though sometime the mum
ber il larger, to II cage containing
two commandments. The cOmpart
ments are barred, and covered wit h
Il fine mesh wire, to prevent any.
thing being passed between visitor
and prisoner.
Examine All Packages
All packages intended for prison
crs, are opened and examined thor
oughly by the Jail officials, before
being passed on to those for whom
they are intended. This is to pre-
vent drugs, or instruments which
might provide "A means Of escape,
from being passed into prisoners.
Very seldom are the rules violated
by the Mexican women, according
to officials.
Generally there is little if any
sign Of grief or sorrow over the
fact that a, relative or friend is in
jail, unless il. happens that the prisr
oner has been sentenced and is due
to leave for San Quentin. Even
then. the stoical characteristic of
the Mexican peop is demonstrated
and the parting is not likely to be
an occasion for tears.
