ENTIRE VALLEY IS
TREATED TO RAIN

A gentle rain which is falling
through the entire county seems to
be Imperial Valleys share of tho
more stormy weather conditions IN
other parts of the state. Accord
ing to horticultural Commissioner
Harrigan, the moisture is not es.
pecially needed. but will do little
harm unless heavy storm sets in.
Al present the lettuce crop which is
getting on we'll will not be az.
fected unless warm weather follows
the rain, in which case the beads
may not be OF quite such solid for
nation. No material effects on the
cotton is expected.
This morning jnsulator trouble
at the local terminal station OF
the Holton Power Company caused
several short interruptions. BE
tween here and Riverside it was
raining according to the private tel
cgraph Of that company, but with.
out severe storms. Last evening,

IRATE, PLAN TO
START SOMETHING
by United Press Leased Wire

Los ANGELES, Dec. Infer
ring that some of the municipal gov.
ernors of Los Angeles are proVin-
cial and are running the city on Il
"small town. basis, Fred Niblo,
leader of the movie directors, irate
because of the forcible midnight
closing of their annual ball, today
was organizing new political
force.
Niblo declared that an organized
attempt would be made to GUST the
police commission, blamed by the
motion picture men for the shutting
down of their dance at the Biltmore
Hotel Wednesday.
4 giant mass meeting of the. movie
folk was considered for while, but
later it was decided to appoint a
committee representing the motion
picture industry to confer with bus
iness men s organizations. The idea
is to organize politically against a
"busv and ubiquitous minority
Police commissioners Birnbaum
and Montgomery, the latter a
preacher, were roundly scored for
their action in prohibiting dancing
after midnight.
Claim Discrimination
1t was charged by Niblo that the
Shriners on the same night were al
lowed to make merry after II
clock because Mayor Cryer was a
prominent Shriner. This was denied
bv the manager of the Ambassador
Hotel, where the Shriners held their
party
Pasadena came forward with an
invitation to the movie people to
hold their dance outside of Los An
geles. "But Why" asked Niblo,
"should we have to go there, to
San Francisco or any other place
outside this city for a breath of
American air or freedom2''
This forcible dance closing bust
ness, since it involves the problem
of amusement liberty threatens to
start another police commission war.
Montgomery and Birnham have just
entered their duties after Commits
| sioners De Coo and De La Monte
were ousted.
Mayor Cryer aroused further ire
among the motion picture directors
when he issued statement placing
| the blame for the whole affair on
Chief of Police Volmer. The movie
men announced Immediately that
they exonerated Chief Vollmer from
all odium. In fact, they openly
said, they were for Vollmer, but de-
cidedly against the police commits

ARREST TRIO IN
MYSTERY DEATH
UNKNOWN MAN
Believe Pair Know Many
Details Surrounding
Case

Despite the fact that a coroner g
jury returned verdict that death
was due to natural causes, in the
case of the unknown Mexican found
dead on the Calexico highway on
November 90, the district attorney s
office and Sheriff Gillett have
been conducting an investigation re-
garding the mans death, which re-
suited last night in the arrest OF
three Mexicans in Calexico, by Chief
HardwiclS and members of the Ca
leXico police force.
The men arrested gave the names
of Jesus Taofan, Domiltilo Baco
and Pedro Agaremon and the auth
critics believe they were in ear
with the dead man the night before
his body was found.
Footprints found at the spot
where the body lay, seem to indicate
that two men had lifted the body
from an automobile, and placed it
where it was seen by workman
coming to Ell Centre, who reported
this fact to the sheriff's office.
The men were brought to this city
today and are lodged at the county
Jail while their activities on the
night of November l9 are being in
vestigated. 1t was stated at the
district attorney office that no
formal charge has been made
against the men, charging them with
the murder, nor will any be made
until sufficient evidence is found
against them.
The identity of the dead man has
never been learned, and it has not
vet been ascertained whether the
men under arrest knew him init
mately, or if he happened to be a
chance acquaintance.
