mrs. PETE TO
TRY TO OBTAIN
ANOTHER TRIAL

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26.-Lofie
Louise Peete has been behind the
somber walls of San Quentin two
years for one of the most sensation
al murders ever committed here, the
Staying of Jacob c. Denton. wealthy
mining man. "a ~ S&gs3
Today Mrs. Peete's counsel, James
=. Fenton, will being action for a
writ of habeas corpus on the
grounds that the trial was not legal
or fair.
Several attempts have been made
to secure new trial for Mrs. Peete
but all were unsuccessful.
The body of Denton was found in
a crypt in the mining brokers' pal
atial home here in 1920.
All sorts Of rumOrs and circum-
staAtial evidence confused the case
wheAeit was tried. Mrs. Peete was
3tially sentenced to life imprison-
ment on a first degree murder con-
viction although she never appear
cd on the witness stand.
The present fight is being finan-
cially supported by several persons
who are keeping their names secret,
Attorney Fenton stated. The pres
ent plea for new trial is based on
the fact that state paid both the
prosecutor and the. defender, the lat
ter being Public Defender Aggeler.

CHIEF HARDWICK
DEFENDS ACTION
in LASETER ROW

Stating empnatically that Andres
Laseter is a Mexican citizen, Joe
Hardwick, chief of police at Gale
xico. has defended his action in
turning Laseter over to the Mexican
officials, who charge him with par
tieipation in a fight with Mexican
customs officers near Cocopah last
Sunday.
Through Attorney A. G.. Blaisdell
of Calexico. Laseter has asked the
United STATES consul at MeXicali to
investigate his case. Blaisdell charg-
ed that Laseter had been kidnapped
by Hardwick and olther officers from
the Ell Centre hospital and turned
over to the Mexican authorities in
violation of his rights as an Amer
lean citizen.
Hardwick states that Laseter,
following his fight with Mexican
customs officers. escaped to the Am
erican side of the line and was ar
rested in Calexico bv the chief and
his men. Lasctcr's hand was prac-
iically shot off in the battle ar
Coeopah and Hardwick took him to
FL Centro for treatment.
When the operation had been
completed, Hardwick took Laseter
back to CaleXico and turned him
over to the Mexican officials in ac-
cordance with the gentleman )
agreement between himself and
;he Mexican authorities, whereby
they exchange criminals wanted on
either side of the line. This agree
ment has been in force for Is
months and has been the means of
eliminating a great deal of crime
along the border, according to the
chief, who says he intends 10 con
tinue the agreement as long as the
Mexican officials are willing to do
so,

Basis of Plea
For Rate Cuts

After going into the question OF
the discrimination in refrigeration
rates which makes Imperial Valley
shippers pay from $15 to $50 more
per car for sending their commodi-
ties to eastern markets than do the
shippers of other parts of the state,
the Imperial County Farm Bureau
in their directors meeting Saturday
laid plans for. an active campaign
against the existing rates.
Laying the blame for the exist
ing condition at the door of South
ern Pacific Company, Manager G.
C. jenkins in his report to the di-
recorts stated in part that the
question of discrimination is very
apparent, and it weuld appear that
owing to the ownership of the Pa
cific Fruit Express by the Southern
Pacific company that the latter line
is wholly responsible for the situ-
atiOn.''
Making plans for joining the Mar
icopa Farm Bureau of Phoenix, Ari-
zona, in their complaint which has
been filed by the Arizona Corpora
ton in behalf of the Phoenix organ
ization, l.. C. Lee, A. c: Finney, and
Virgil Barber were appointed as
finance committee to see that funds
for the fight are raised.

to Coyle, to beat out Glendale,
which was also after the January
injecting. The date scr for tie

the California Dairy Council, so
that FL Centre will have a large
number of visitors to entertain az

Saturday s meeting was addressed
by Captain Richmond p. Hobson,
hero of the Spanish American war,
and nationally known as a temper
;:nce advocate and lecturer. He gave
q mastery tall: on the narcotic evil
and the necessity for taking decisive
action against this terrible habit
which he saws is far worse than
liquor and is growing to alarming
proportions in this country.
Matter Must Be Faced
The matter is one that must BE-
faced unflinchingly, he declared
and the sooner the better element
in the United States realizes that
determined action must be taken
against the drug oeddler, just so
soon will headway be made IN coun-
teracting his Lefarious business.
DR.. Dexter, president of Whittier
College, also addressed the secreta-
ries on community ideals and urged
lhe uphuilding Of clean wholesome
communities as one of the principal
lines of endeavor for the secreta-

CLAIM TO HAVE
BROKEN UP BAND
OF RUM RUNNERS
Armed British Boat SeiZ-
ed Off N. J. Coast in
Fight
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Federal
agents today believed they had
struck vital blow at the West
Indian rum running traffic.
Nine men were to be brought be-
fore assist trnt solicitor of the
port of New FORK Edward H. Bar
nes, during the day for questioning
before being avraigned in New Jer-
sey before Il United States COM
missioner On n charge of transport
ing liquor to the United States.
The men include William S. Nc
Coy, said by federal agents to be
the "king' Of West Indian rum
runners.
Mccoy and his companions were
captured early yesterday outside
tie three mile limit when, beats OF
the coast guara and revenue gutter
service overhauled the British two
masted schooner Tomaka and seized
200 cases of whiskey which they say
was the remainder of 1920 cases
the ship had brought from Nassau,
Bahama islands.
The Tomoka, captured off Sea
bright, N. j., by coast guard cutters,
was seized on direct orders from
the department of justice here, Off
cials of the coast guard said today.
Instructions for prosecuting the
case were telephoned to the United
States attorney at New York this
morning from the department.
Government boats were cruising
off Seabright, N. j., on tip that
the Tomoka was lying in that vicin-
ity, when they picked up the rum
runner we'll outside the three-mile
limit. aft
A signal to halt brought no re-
sponse and Immediately the cutters
cut loose with three pound shots
across the whiskey ships bow.
A scuffle on deck followed before
the capture was complete.
Machine Gun on Boat
Besides Mccoy, who was said al
ready to be under indictment in New
JtTStF, tnt Itutldl NoHtoiNU
George Downey, master of the To-
moka, and his crew of seven and
confiscated 100000 they found on
the ship.
A machine gun ready for action
was on the ship and agents said an
other quick firer was dismantled and
thrown overheard before they reach
ed the rum pirate.
Mccoy was found hidden under a
bunk, with 100000 in American
money, presumably the result of
whiskey sales, in his pockets.
Thirty thousand was found in the
schooner S safe and $4,000 was
taken from the seamen.
The Tomoka, valued at 100000,
was towed into New York where
she is held.
The seizure was considered of es-
pecial Importance because agents
apparently decided to put in force
the principle of search and seizure
outside the three mile zone before
the new 12-mile treaty with Great
Britain is signed.
