Judge Franklin j. Cole aware of a

attention being called by. q Press
representative that the date set,
June %, is the same day set by
Judge Conkling two weeks ago, for
the execution of Mariano Cazares,
convicted with Alvino Mendez of
the murder of Mike Fornasero.
Mendez is to be executed four days
previous, June Is.
When Judge Cole set Campbell 3
execution for June %, court at
taches and officials were of the
opinion that he was aware of that
date having been set by Judge
Conkling for Cazarcs, but he stated
this afternoon that such was not the
ease. The law requires that execu,
tion shall be carried out not less
than 90 nor more than 90 days after
the sentence is imposed. He said
further that he simply looked down
the calendar and chose June % as
being little more than 60 days

Another coincidence arises in the
fact that June % falls on Friday,

High School Reporter

Frank Paine, senior at the local
high school and captain of the base
ball team, broke his leg while at
baseball practice yesterday after
noon. Immediately after the acci-
dent Paine was rushed to the doctor
who after an eX-ray of the broken
limb stated that it would be good
while before Paine would be able
to attend school again. The break
was just above the knee and the
bone was tapping almost four inches.
The loss of Paine will be big jolt

of the best players on the team. He
also was leading the team at bat

Paine, who plays left field, was

was attempting to field the ball
which had been hit between the
two fields. This will greatly Grip

SACRAMENTO, April I3.-From
some mysterious source information
is being sent to and published by
certain periodicals to the effect
that no protection is afforded in
vestors under the Corporate Secu-
rites Act. To quote from an aiti-
Gle appearing in 'rnumber of news
papers under date of March 31st:
"In view of recent ruling an
nulling California s Blue Sky
law, the rule that units cannot
be governed and supervised as oil
stock, or any other stock is, because
it does not represent a security,
but is a guarantee of profits with
out giving title to any principal or
real property. This ruling has let
down the bars to all classes of oil

ure, who sought to issue certifi-
cate to sell stock in unsound get

required to sell units

URGE FUNDS FOR
CHILDR EMS AID
GO TO R0TARIANS
Will Insure Help for
Crippled Riddles of
Valley

People in Imperial Valley who
have received a letter with Il dollar
bill attached to it, soliciting a dona-
tion fof the Orthopaedic Hospital
School for crippled children at Los
Angeles are requested to consider
the situation of the crippled chill
dren of Imperial Valley.
They need our help and as Los
Angeles is very wealthy communi-
ty it hardly seems fair that they
should call upon this community
for support when we are hard pres
sed to secure sufficient funds 10
take care of our own children, un-
less assurance is given that part
of the money will be devoted
to Imperial Valley children.
The Crippled Children Commit
tee of the FL Centre Rotary
club is taking care of sever
al eases of crippled children and it
would seem, that if people are will
ing to donate money to such n wor-
thy cause, that the dollar bill re-
ceived from Los Angeles, together
with local subscriptions, should be
sent to the secretary of the Rotary
Club, Ell Centro, and the Crippled
Children Committee will forward
all such money received to the Or
thopaedic Hospital with the under
standing that such money is to be
used in the care of crippled chill
dren from Imperial County.
Urge Concerted Action
In this way, much more can be
accomplished for the children who
need such care than if individual
contributions are made direct to
Los Angeles. The Rotary Club
realizes that many donations will
be made, and if they can all be for
warled to Los Angeles at one time,
backed by the moral support of the
Rotary club, the result will be much
better than n scattering of the do
nations. This action was endorsed
at yesterdays meeting of the Rota-
~ club.
1t is believed that thousands of
these letters with the dollar bill
enclosed, have been received in I'M
perial County, and if the donations
they inspire can be used to help the
crippled children of this communi-
ty by concerted action, the Rotary
club believes this to be the proper
course to pursue.

Davis Sentence Awaits
Information as to
Age
HANGS ON JUNE 22ND
Murderer Says He Took
Life, Believes Should
Lose Own
Sentence Of Charles Davis
was postponed until tomorrow
at 10 O'Clock, pcyding receipt
of information from Alabama,
his home, as to his age.

AS calm and collected as at any
time during his trial, except that
occasionally twitched his fingers,
Lawrence G. Campbell, convicted
Wednesday of the murder of Leslie
Nichols, sat in the witness chair in
Department No. l of the superior
court this morning and heard Judge
Franklin j. Cole sentence him to
he hanged at San Quentin prison on
June %.
Campbell turned his eyes toward
the Judge as the solemn words fell
from his lips, and did not drop therl
urtil the sentence had been finish
ed. He then cooly walked from the
stand and resumed his seat beside
his partner in crime, Charles Davis
whose sentence was deferred until
3 o clock this afternoon.
At the conclusion of the sentence,
the court remarked to Campbell
that though it might seem to him
that the penalty is severe, and that
nothing is accomplished by carrying
it out, the fact that his execution
may save the lives of innocent
people by causing other criminals
to hesitate from taking life, .justi-
fies the severity of the death pen
atty.
Prisoner Smiles -
Asked if he had anything to say,
Campbell replied in the negative.
Previous to imposing sentence, the
court made the usual inquiries re-
garding Campbell's s personal his
tory, the condemned youth giving
his answers in q low even voice. He
smiled plainly, when he was asked
if he had ever been married, and the
question evidently struck the queer

possesses.

ing for court to open, just what his
thoughts are about being hanged,

that he should forfeit his own. At
