Finds Many Errors Here He Says
Other comments from Mr.. Ham
mond s report to the grand jury.
"There are errGs in methods and
systems, in plan" and personnel,
existing in the government of I'M
perial County. The first may be
rcmedied by the officers themselves.
Stop following precedent and fol-
low the plain provisions of the law.
Erroneous plans can enly be rem

county government act or by the
electors in the adoption of n free

not reccomend for Imperial Coun.

for some ills of the offices named
herein. Errors in personnel can be
remedied by removal from office or
recall.
"In general, my criticism is that
it is too hard to get money into the
treasury from county revenues.
The remedy for this is better super
vision and control by the supervisors
and the county auditor. 1t is too
easy to get money out of the treas

HARDING TO GIVE

OU1CoO 1IcSS StdII COIICSpoIlucnI
ON BOARD PRESIDENT HAIR
DENG'S SPECIAL TRAIN EN-
ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS, June 21.-
President Harding will reveal on
his western trip the general outline
of a much more comprehensive in
ternational program than he has yet
disclosed.
Some of Mr.. Harding's ideas on
world relations may prove more
startling and disquieting to the ir-
reconcilables than his world court
proposal, on which he will speak
tonight in st. Louis in the home
state of Senator Reed, bitterest de-
mocratic irrcconcilable.
Startling Information
The president has information Of
the most significant sort concern
ing developments in Europe. He is
increasingly impressed lately with
the fact that Europe,s troubles, if
long continued, are likely to bring
reflex in the United States which
might adversely affect the farmers,
industrial workers, business men
and capitalists of this country.
This much can be said that
Europe's s efforts to settle the Ruhr
and reparations problems will not
be allowed to end in total failure
without an effort being made from
this side Of the Atlantic to prevent
such breaking up of the forces
seeking adjustment, which Mr..
Harding believes is vital, not only
to America but to world welfare.
The presidential party is due at
st. Louis late this afternoon and to-
night the speaking tour will be
formally begun in an address at the
Coliseum of that city.

.REBER, STILL in
JAIL, MAINTAINS
HE IS INNOCENT
COIOred Man Who Makes
Charges Has Police
Record
Much Criticism Made
of $500 Bail
Demanded

Otto Reber, assistant chief of
police at Brawley, is still at the
county Jail, having been unable to
furnish bail of $4,000, following his
arrest yesterday on complaint of
William Ivory, colored. of this
city, who alleges that Reber held
him up on the Calexico highway
Tuesday night and took $50 from
him. Reber will be given preli-
minary hearing at Calexico Mon!
day.
When seen at the county Jail
this morning, Reber stoutly main
tained his innocence and denied
that he had taken any money from
either Ivory or his companion. He
admitted stopping the negro, when
the latter's car passed him on the
highway at an excessive speed and
believing him armed, searched
him, and then ordered him to pro-
ceed to the Calexico police station.
Reber intended following him, but
changed his mind and came to FL
Centre. He had been in Mexicali
the early part of the evening, he
acknowledged, but left and was on
his way to Brawley when he met
Ivory. When he arrived in e FL
Centre, he went to the police sta
tiOn where he spent some time talk
ing with several members of the
local force
Ivory Arrested
Ivory, according to the records of
the sheriff S office, and City Mar.
shal Dizney of Imperial, has a bad
record. He was arrested in Imper-
ial several months ago on charge
of impersonating an officer and at
that time claimed he had been rob
bed of $50 by two other negroes.
The district attorneys office is
now making an investigation of the
stories of both men.
Several prominent Ell Centre citi-
zens this morning stated emphati-
cally to a Press representative,
their belief of Reber's innocence.
| They pointed to his excellent re-
cord in the navy previous to com
ing to Ell Centre, to his police re-
cord while here, and the man s
general character.
Criticize High Bail
Criticism has also been made of
the high bail set in Reber's case.
The man S previous good record
and his standing in the community,
it is pointed out, were sufficient
guarantee to produce him in court
at any time, or to warrant an in
vestigation without an arrest. That
he is forced to stay in Jail owing
to the high bail demanded, is a
humiliation which Reber does not
deserve, unless he is actually gull
ty, say his friends, and where
there is so much doubt as there
seems to be in this case, they claim
he should at least have been ad-
mitted to nominal bail, or allowed
to go on his own recognizance.

CAMPBELL PLAYS
BASEBALL WHILE
HANGING NEARS
Mother in Frantic Last
Minute Appeal to
Governor
Utley Refuses to Sign
Plea Sent Him By
Boy
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN ENTIN PENITEN-
TIARY, Cal, June 21.- Lawrence
Campbell, aged 10, who hangs at
10 n. M. tomorrow for the murder of
Leslie Nichols, sat in the death cell
here today while his mother and a
few friends made their last minute
appeals to save him.
Thus far not a word has come
from the governor s office or any
other source from which even slight
hope Of reprieve might be CLEANED.
But it seemed to matter little to
Campbell. He had gone to the
death cell at sundown last night af-
ter spending his last four hours in
the light of day tossing Il baseball.
Playing Baseball
Out in the prison yard he was
catching for corpulent fellow
prisoner who seemed bent on reduc-
ing his weight.
"Put something on 'em, - Camp
bell cried.
The fat man did his best but they
were not "hot' enough.
"Let me show you,' commanded
Campbell and the two changed
places.
For 20 minutes Campbell "boiled
them in with speed that nearly
staggered the fat man. He threw
fast curves and now and then a
"floater taking evident delight
in knowing that he would go to the
gallows with his "pitching arm y
still working.
The fat man became tired. Camp
bell contented himself for time
bouncing the ball from the stone
prison wall and catching it on its
rebound.
In Mischievous Mood
Then he spied a row of men
writing letters on flat boards held
on their laps. He darted down the
line playfully upsetting each board
and then running to far corner
of the yard to watch the disconfi-
ture of his fellows. And then the
sun dropped low over the Golden
Gate. A guard came and Campbell
was led to the death cell still
laughing-there to await tomorrow
morning, the coming of the prison
chaplain, the farewell to his mother
and the march to the gallows.
Campbell comes from Marquette
Michigan. He was convicted in I'M
leral county for the murder of Les
lie Nichols, insurance man, when
Nichols gave Campbell and Charles
Davis "lift' as they were hik,
ing across the desert. Davis is serv-
ing life term.
District Attorney Ernest r. Ut
ley, who prosecuted the ease of the
state against Campbell, yesterday
received a letter from the con-
demned boy asking that he sign a
form requesting clemency from the
governor. To this request, the dis
trict attorney today sent the follow
ing telegram addressed to Camp
bell:
Acknowledgment of your form
al notice of application for elem
ency forwarded yesterday by spe-
cial delivery. regret to infrom you
that / do not feel that ! would be
justified in recommending to the
Governor, any leniency in your case.
AS you know, the fact and circum-
stances as admitted by you, sur
rounding the murder of Mr.. Nichols,
were extremely cruel and of the
most aggravating and inexcusable
nature. l sincerely hope your expert
cnce with crime and the penalty
which you will have to pay there
for, will impress upon other boys
the fact that crime does not pay. -

A STEP FORWARD.

Indications seem to point to an early division of the Ter tory by the separation of the po"ulous southern sections from the remote and sparsely inh" bjtcd districts on' the n3rth and west. The populace of tho First and Third Divis- ions have voted overwhein1- in ~ly in favor of the proposal ct a Tnecial election held few days ago and nothing now r mains but to place the mat tyr before Congress for decis- ion.
 A division along the lines pro- r@~ed would be highly benefic- to the southern districts: fir t by freeing them of the fnrden of providing most of 'ha appropriations needed by the lass populated sections, secondly by permitting them to snend the money derived from t""'" own resources at home.
 Practically three fourths of the Territorial revenues are derived from the resources and ir"u1tr;es of the First division.
 Yet, withal, the district gets for it's own use scarcely more than a fourth part of the money owing to the majority voting rover of the other divisions III the legislature when it comes to passing around the approp- l'"t'ons. Such a condition is de- ed 3dly wrong and should not be permitted to continue. It is p>rhaos trifle too early to exnect Congress to confer the privileges of statehood on the First division, but the district should by all means be permit ted to devote the money it pru- duces to it's own benefit, with olt being compelled to assist in the support of those sections which are not self support ing and may not become so for many years to come.
 Viewed from any standpoint, division of the territory would be a step forward, as it would enable the really progressive sections to go ahead to the full extent of their capacities for r development and progress, leaving the less progressive sections to the care and sup rort of the federal government, where it rightfully belongs.
