State Rests in
Allen Hearing,

Trial of Cordie Allen, colored,
charged with violation of the liquor
law, got under way before Judge
V. y. Thompson and Il jury in the
police court this morning, after an
other postponement became neces-
sary Yesterday afternoon, due to the
absence of Billy Gamble, chief wit
ness for the prosecution. Gamble
was located i'm Mexico yesterday and
brought to this city yesterday after
noon, where he was lodged in the
city jail to insure his appearance in
court this morning. 1t is alleged in
the complaint that Cordie Allen sold
a half pint of whiskey to Gamble
on January ..
When the prosecution opened its
ease this morning, officers of the
local police department testified to
visiting the house of Cordic Allen
on the east side on January ., and
arresting her and that marked mon,
ey, used by Gamble for the purchase
of liquor, was found on her person.
Gamble was also placed on the wit
ness stand and substantiated the
testimony of the officers.
During the cross examination of
Gamble by attorney Atchison, cOun-
sch for the defense, Attorney Joseph
r. Seymour, who is prosecuting the
case for the city, was insistent in
his objections to questions asked by
q. NJ ntt A
to show that there was an under
standing between the police and
Gamble, whereby he was to "framc''
fordie Allen. Practically every OBJ
lection was sustained by the court.
The prosecution rested its ease when
court recessed at noon and The de-
Tense opened this afternoon in an
attempt TO prove that the woman
had not sold the liquor to Gamble.

Signal Hill is
Now Great Field

Very few realize that in the past
year the Signal Hill oil district of
Long Beach has grown from a pros
pect TO the greatest oil field in Cali
fornia, producing now approximately
10000 barrels a day, yet in the
opinion of many oil men the deve-
lopment there is only in its in
fancy.
With the city owning many acres
of the best located oil land Long
Beach now has something more de-
finite than a vision of taxless city
for their dream bids fair TO come
true. This great prosperity is
bound in measure to extend this
way. While some direct results may
be noted from individual invest
ments the valley is certain to re-
ceive share of the great prosper
ity occasioned by the millions flow
ing from the ground in this new
and wonder field.

same time. Although the date for
the actual transaction is not rs vet
fixed, all prcliminaries are worked
out.
In discussing the merger, Mr..
Horne said, 81 am proud that the
Security and Commercial Savings
Bank was chosen by the Pacific
Southwest group as the bank through
which they would deal directly in
the Imperial Valley, and am happy
as one interested in the valley,
these institutions are willing to come
into the valley directly under any
circumstances.
"Years ago J. NJ. Elliott, then
president of the First National
Bank of Los Angeles, and now chair
man of its board of directors, loaned
the first money to the building of
the first irrigation ditch in this
valley. Since that time the First
National.Pacific Southwest group
has continuously carried Imperial
Valley loans, hut these loans have
of course been widely spread through
a number of Imperial Valley banks
and have not been SIS large as would
havebcen the ease if they had been
dealing directly.
1--WE have been anxious to make n
connection which would permit us to
serve the valley properly, but until
the Colorado river was definitely
harncssed and the levecs were pro-
nounced safe, and until definite
steps were made for the solution of
the irrigation district troubles, it
was impossible to induce these banks
10 come directly into the valley.
"This merger does not mean that
we will have to refer our loans to
Los Angeles, as the local officers
and the local executive board will
have full power % act. 1t does
mean that we will have a more def
mite and very direct assurance of
support in the development of I'm
perial Valley.
"There will be no changes in the
Pei isohhei, tht ohiy cH'iIiSe Ill the
entire situation being the increased
ability on our part to take care of
the needs of the valley.
Il am particularly glad that this
merger brings directly to the valley
the aid and support of both Charles
+. Stern and Judge William Rhodes
Hervey. Both men have carried
briefs for this valley for many
years-Stern S booklets on Imperial
Valley have done much to center
confidence in our work, and Judge
Hervey is probably closer personally
TO more men in this district than any
man in Los Angeles"

Complain of Young Vandals---
Several complaints have been re-

cording 10 Chief of Police Barker,
particularly from the south end Of
town, relative to the activities Of
boys in pulling up shrubs and small
trees which have been planted in
front of various residences. The
young trees make excellent whips
and when opportunity presents, the
youngsters are said to cut them
down. "As the Chamber of Com
mcrce and other civic bodies have
been advocating planting trees and
Identifying homes, it is desirable
that all citizens who try to improve
their places have the full co-opera-
tion OF ALL - said Chief Barker,
"and any youngsters brought into
court for wilfully destroying pro-
perty will be severely dealt with. .
The chief urged that parents see to
il that their children be taught
proper respect for the property of
others and admonish them against
injuring trees and shrubs.
