TO Use Straight Jacket
DESCRIPTION SENT
TALIIES EXACTLY

The first detailed description OF
Clara Phillips, the mystery woman
travelling with her, and Jesse Car
sen, former convict, who is charged
with aiding in her escape, was re-
eeived today by Chief of Police
Oaks in a letter from a man named
G. w. Frach in Guatemala.
The letter was mailed March Il,
and asked that description and
photographs he mailed.
Carsen is described as a weaklino
who is beaten and berated by the
women, who are trying to "shake"
him. The description of one of the
women tallies exactly with that of
Clara. She is posing as Carsen's sis.
ter in law.
Suspicion was directed to them
when they had difficulty in enter
ing the country without passports,
by their uncommunicativene and
inconsistent stories. They were
taking with them Mexican, said
to be directer of opera, as inter
prefer.
Carsen's description, according 70
friends leaves no doubt that it j.
he. His attorney declared that
carsen, formerly a small grocer
here, is mentally irresponsible and
had the hallucination that he,owned
oil property in Mexico. Since the
letter, was written. Clara and her
companions fled TO Tan Salvador
and later to Honduras, where they
are now reported under arrest.

WEBSTER NEW
PRESIDENT OF
FARM BUREAU

Q. c. Webster, of Spruce Farm
Center, was elected president of the
farm bureau at the meeting of the
directors in this city today. Mr..
Webster was also elected n director
at large, succeeding q. T.. West,
who has removed from the valley.
The new president has long been
known as n successful raneher and
has always taken an active interest
in the affairs of the farm bureau.
Other directors of the organization
were gratified at his election to the
presidency and believe il will iaaug-
urate a new era of prosperity for
the farm bureau.
This afternoon, A. II. Taeker,
president of the grain exchange at
Brawley, delivered an interesting
talk on the work being done by the
exchange in promoting the welfare
of the grain industry in the valley.
The exchange, organized year ago,
was considered by some to be Il
risky undertaking at that time but
has proved the worth of co-opera-
;ion and proper marketing in the
year of its existence.
The directors viii remain in SEES
sion the remainder of the after

'Wrecking" Crew Fails
to Faze Candidates of
Valley

Citizens of FL Centre, who are to-
day sporting II small, blue lapel in
sigma with the numbers "40' aud
"S' marked on it, could tell some
mighty tall stories anent the insti-
tuition of the Imperial Valley Vol
ture of the famous "Fortys and
Fights" at Brawley Saturday night,
were it not for the fact that such
things can only be discussed among
members of the organization. How
ever, they are at liberty to state
that the wrecking crew. as the
degree team from Los Angeles is
called, is rightly named.
Although the exercises started in
Brawley, and We're held there in the
main, the eX-service men soon found
they needed more room and the
ceremonies were strung out between
Brawley and the Mexican border,
and also over 4 large period Of time
Some of the Forty and Fighters -
managed to cut III on the tail end
Of the Elks dance here, others fin
ished the celebration in Nexicai
and one fellow claims To- have gone
straight home from the Brawley
meeting, but his fellow Forty and
Fighters proc Lain him the biggest
liar in the county.
Had Wonderful Time
The boys had a wonderful time,
and claim there has not been any
thing like il in their lives, since the
big guns stopped raising ructions in
France on November II, 1913, and
that any other experience, in a
mans life, such as a bawling out
from a traffic cop, getting married,
or picking q fight with Jack Demp-
sey, is mere trifle compared to in
itiation in the Forty and Fights.
Now that it has been proven that
a fellow can join the "Forty and
Fights and still survive the initia-
ton, several eX-service men have
made Application to join the Imper-
ial Valley Noiture, and it is ex-
pocted another initiation will be
necessary III the near future.

AGAIN INTRODUCED

bill providing for District del

the House again today in virtually
the same form in which it was re-
jected by the House District COM
mittee last week.
Fathered in the Senate by Senator
Poindexter and in the House by Rep
resentative Reed of West Virginia,
the. District delegate bill was voted
to bs laid on the table by a 6-to-5
vote in the House District commit
tee, after strenuous efforts had been
made to get a favorable report.
The sentiment of the committee was
practically unanimous for voting
representation for the residents of the
National Capital in both branches of
Congress. and in national elections,
rather than for District delegate.
Representative Blanton of Texas to-
day reintroduced the Poindexter-Reed
bill with slight changes. Where the
original bill required citizenship in
the United States for seven years the
Blanton draft substitutes twenty-five
years.
Representative Blanton throughout
the bill makes changes which would
place the entire cost of holding an
election upon the taxpayers of the
District. The bill was referred to the
