Arizona Men Want
Cooperation in
Abolishing Weeds

}. G. Hamilton, county agricultur-
al agent of Yuma, Arizona, and w.
&. Ballantyne, acting director of the
extension service at Tacoma, were
in the city last week and visited
with +. w. Waite, horticultural com.
missioner, to confer with him on the
subject of determination of noxious
weeds. Arizona has passed a local
option law recently which will per-
NIT each district defined by the laws
to wage war against noxiOus weeds
including johnson grass, or other
wise as it chooses. The Yuma dis
trict is in hearty sympathy with ev-

The new law apparently will meet
the requirements in both eases.

co with Mr.. Waite's efforts to
clean it out in the Bard section,
Mr.. Hamilton states, the two coun-
ties being such close neighbors that
ones interest is the others in such
matters. The two officials here to-
day are gratified with the enact
ment of the new law by the Arizona

BEAUTIES OF
CARRISO GORGE
ATTRACT MOVIES
Goodwin Company Film
ing Play Entitled The
Rear Car

Recognition of the scenic beauties
of Carriso Gorge by the moving
picture industry has at last been
given, according to Charles f.. Mat
lin, travelling agent for the San
Diego and Arizona Railway, who
states that the Goldwyn Company
now has a east eamped in special
train at the gorge, while filming a
picture to be known as "The Rear
Car adapted from the story "The
Red Light The company expects
to be con location in the gorge
for about 10 days while the various
scenes are being "shot, and Off
cials of the Goldwyn Company are
enthusiastic over the wild beauty
of Carriso Gorge.
Practically all the action in the
story takes place in the observa-
ton car of an overland train, ae
cording to Mr.. Matlin, and the eff
cinls of the Goldwyn Company, after
looking over several locations to
take scenes, finally decided upon
Carriso Gorge as being the best
adaptable for their purposes.
1t is probable, according to Mr..
Matlin, that other companies will
follow the example of Goldwyn and
that Carisso Gorge may become as
famous in the movies as it has in
transcontinentl circles as being one
of the real beauty spots of the
United States and on par with Yo-
semitic, the Grand Canyon, or Mag
ara Falls.

JeancOn Buys
Electrical Co.

Otto Jeancon, who has been man
ager of the local branch of the
Southern Electrical Company for
several years, announced today that
he has purchased the business as Of
March l, and that he will continue
to do business under the firm name

known men in FL Centre, and has
wide acquaintance throughout the

considerable stage experience, he
has lent his aid to the production
of many amateur theatricals here
and in other valley towns, and is
also known as an excellent singer.
His many friends will wish him sue
cess i'll his new venture, and his adj
vent into the commercial life of FL
Centre as the owner of business
house, will be welcome news to the

Phil BreedlOve
Trial Now On

The second trial of Phil Breed
love, charged with the murder of
Rex Samples in the Oregon hotel on
February 5, 1922, as the outcome
of a "triangle affair.", opened this
morning in Department No. of the
superior court, with Judge Franklin
j. Cole presiding.
Application of Joseph F. Sey-
mour Jr., counsel for Breedlove, for
continuation of the trial was de-
MED by the court, who however, al
lowed the attorney five minutes in
which to obtain his records regard
ing the trial from his office.
Work of selecting jury to hear
the case proceeded slowly and it is
expected will hardly be finished to-
day. Both the prosecution and the
defense questioned prospective jury
men at length and though only one
was excused, it is believed several
more will be this afternoon. =
Frank B. Erzinger, formerly as
sistant district attorney, is associat-
ed with Mr.. Seymour in the defense,
and the case is being prosecuted by
f. r. Simon, former district attor-
ncy, assisted by Harry B. Ellison.
Ernest r. Utley, district attorney,
has been disqualified for the pros
ecntion, by reason of having been
connected with the defense at
Breedlove first trial last May, at
which time a jury was unable to
bring in verdict after two days Of
elaboration.

Bandits Hold Up
Watchman, Take
Gun and Money

Harry Smith, night Waterman for
the Merchants Patrol, was held up
by three bandits about II O'Clock
last night at the corner of CONNER
cial and Fifth streets and relieved
of his gun, belt, and $3.50 in cash.
Smith was standing near the Pied
mont hotel and noticed three men
coming up Commercial street, one
being a short distance in front of
the others. AS the first man passed
him, Smith turned to watch the
other two, and immediately felt the
gun of the first man at the back of
his head, and RECEIVED instructions
to stick his hands up. The other
two had drawn abreast of Smith.
and pushing aside their coats, dis
played revolvers.
Realizing that he was caught in
a trap, Smith complied with the
command of the first bandit and
elevated his hands. The bandits
did not modest him nor did they
offer to take his other belongings.
After the holdup, the three men
made their escape, but not before
Smith had obtained a good dcscrip-
ton of each. The police department
and sheriff's office were notified,
also the police of the other valley
towns, and it is believed the men
will eventually be captured.

MEXICALL WINS
lin HARD FOUGHT
BASEBALL GAME
Team COntemplates In
viting Palacios Here
for Contest

In rafting good game, which
was anybOdy's at several stages,
and went into the ninth inning q
tie at two all, the Palacios of
Mexicali managed to put over the
winning run in their half of the
ninth, with two men down, and took
the game from the FL Centre In
dependents, the final score being
8 to 2.
The teams met on the baseball
grounds at the Governor S palace,
and a large crowd watched the two
teams struggle for the victory. No
fan was more interested in the
game than Governor Inocente Lugo.
who watched it from the Palacios
bench and rooted hard for his team
to win. The famous military band
accompanied him and delighted the
crowd with its wonderful playing.
Rudy is Hero
Manager Chick pitched for the
Independents and held the Pala.
clos to six hits. Rudy did the
catching for the locals and played
a wonderful game, bringing the
crowd up standing by Il wonderful
play in backing up a wild throw
to first, which got away from FL
lis. Rudy grabbed the ball and
threw out the player who had
rounded first and was streaking it
for second.
The Independents managed to
nick the Palacio twirler for seven
hits, and tried hard to bunch them
in an effort to win, but he man
aged, to keep them scattered aad
frightened up in the pinches. Buck
Ellis and the two Jackets of the
Ell Centre Scorpions, played with
the Independents and did good
work. Miller, shortstop for the in
dependents, played Il good game
and electrified the rOwd with
several clever stops of hist which
were apparently labeled safe.
Everything about the game went
off in clockwork fashion and the
local players highly appreciated
the courtesies and clean playing
of the Palacios. AN the boys met
Governor Lugo and he expressed
the hope of return game in the
near future. The Independents
are planning on inviting the Pala-
clos to play in Ell Centre very
shortly, and it is possible that this
crack team will be seen i'll action
here.

France Recalls Il
Action OF 1871

PARIS, March 12.-Raymond Po-
ineare, premier of France, in a
statement to the press today, de
clared Germany's recent complaint
that the French and Belgian occu-
patton of the Ruhr is illegal and
in violation of the rights of men
seemed strangely ill-founded when
the world recalled what Germany
was ready to do in 1871 had France
not paid her indemnity to Germany.
The premier added that official
documents proved that Germany
wished to reinforce her army of oc-
cupation in France to a degree nee
essary to guarantee her rights and
that she was even ready to resume
the war by modifying half mil
lion men.
The statement was made by the
premier on the eve Of his departure
for Brussels for important confer
ences with the Belgian ministers in
order to coordinate further common
Franco Belgian action in the Ruhr.
The premier deviated from his
usual custom when he consented to
receive the correspondent for
brief period and discuss some as
poets of the German problem with
Frenchman generally seem to feel
some Americans do not fully under
stand from the French viewpoint.
Premier Poincare s visit to Brus-
sells tomorrow is primarily an act
of courtesy. The French minister
of public works has been twice to
Brussels and since then both the
prime minister and the foreign min
lister of Belgium have been in Paris.
France and Belgium, it is pointed
out in official circles here are the
only two of the allies whose situa-
tions are similar and whose needs
can be summed up by the words
PREPARATIONS and securities. Such a
visit will tend to silence talk that
Belgium sit in any way subservient
to France.
1t has been said that the two
premiers viii discuss the claims to
be placed before Germany when that
country asks for them and many
suggestions have been made with
reference to this condition.

FEDERAL RESERVE
MAN ADDRESSES
VALLEY BAN KERS
Says This Section Has
Good Standing in
Money Marts
Numerous Speakers Take
Stand for Better
Land Lease

T. j. Shepherd, of the Federal Re
serve Bank Of San Francisco, adj
dressed the meeting of the Imperial
Valleys Bankers Association at
the Barbara Worth hotel Saturday
evening, giving brief outline of
the present financial condition,
which he indicated is very good, and
continually improving. He stated
that conditions in Imperial Valley
are very much better at present than
they have been in the past two
years and that this section has a
high standing in financial circles
on the Pacific Coast. Criticims of
the Federal Reserve bank, which was
heard in the past, has proved to be
without foundation, according to
Mr.. Shepherd, and charges that the
bank was not in good condition
have been disproved.
Leases Considered
Of chief interest to the local
bankers was the discussion of leas-
es, which was the topic chosen by
several speakers.
Vern De Tar, assistant farm ad-
wiser, explained the desirability of
better leases between land owners
and ranchers in Imperial Valley,
and stated in the past, leases have
been drawn in lax manner, causing
frequent court cases and general
dissatisfaction, to all parties con-
cerned. He advocated a more salts
factory form of lease, with clauses
providing for the protection of both
property owner and tenant.
r. II. Cary, Of the California Cen
trail Creamery also talked on leases
and seconded the request of Mr.. De
Tar for a more satisfactory form
than is used at present. Close con
tact with Imperial Valley ranchers
has brought to him many eases
where the rancher is working upder
an unsatisfactory lease and in his
opinion this tends to discourage the
rancher and dairyman putting his
best efforts into his work, and con-
sequently has deteriorating effect
on the progress of the valley.
The remarks of Mr.. De Tar and
Mr.. Cary We're seconded by w. E.
King, who, as practical rancher,
pointed out flaws in the leases as
they have been drawn up in the
past, and urged the bankers to take
the necessary steps toward the
adoption of universal form of
lease which will be for the best in
terests of all concerned.
w. l.. Garrett of the First Nation
al Bank of Brawley, presided at the
meeting which was attended by 35
bankers and was proceeded by q
turkey dinner.
