PASSPORTS BRING
 IN Sl2,000 DAILY Uncle Sam Does FlOurEhinS
 Business During Summer

Hamburg, Oct. 3.-American pass ports and foreign passports viseed for the United States are now worth their weight in gold in Central Bu- rope, and passport thieves arc busy on trains. in hotels and on steam CTS and wharyes.
 Scores of stolen.-passports are re- ported weekly to American consular officials. It is a frequent occurrence for a foreigner who has obtained a yiseed document for America to have his papers stlen before he sails.
 Americans are warned by consular officers to keep the numbers of their passports, and make speedy reports oftheft to the nearest consul So that the papers may be cancelled from Washington and steps taken to pre- vent imposters from reaching the United States. Travellers are warned not to leave their passports In their luggage, even if 1t is locked, and ad- yised to carry them in inside pockets beyond the reach of sneak thieves.
 The situation has become particu- ,arly bad since the new American immigration law went into effect. There are evidences that organized gangs ire dealing in papers supposed to guarantee entrance to America Forgers can easily change names and photographs and descriptions While purchasers of altered pass. ports will probably come to grief sooner or later. there are so many persons camoring for admission to the United States that sharpers ina a ready market for their stoiep wares.

SAFE CRACK ERS
TACKLE SAFE AT
EDGAR BROTHERS
Frightened Away When
Hole Nearly Drilled
Through Door

After drilling a hole almost
through the door of the safe at Ed
gar Brothers Ford Agency last
night, safe-crackers either were
frightened away or abandoned the
job, and left the building without
accomplishing their purpose.
Entry to the building was obtain
ell by forcing rear window. The
office is located in the rear Of the
building, and is screened from
street view by glass and wooden
partition, which enabled the intrud-
crs to work unobserved by anyone
passing the building. The dial OH
the safe was forced off, and the
knob bcEt with a blunt instrument,
rs thought the yeggmen ha d
attempted to pry the door open
They then used Il half-inch din and
succeeded in boring almost through
the heavy iron door when the Job
was abandoned. The cracksmcn de-
parted. taking Wi.h them the drill,
which they took from the stoCl, and
II Burroughs adding machine.
The police were notified Of the
attempted robbery when it was dis
covered, and Officers Griffin and
Schlanzo made in investigation.
Fingerprints on the safe door and
or the window were photographed
and i. is hoped through these to get
some information as to the identity
Of the safe-crackers.

LABOR LAYING
PLANS FOR NEW
ENGLISH REGIME.

LONDON, Jan. l0.-As labor gov
ernment in Great Britain draws
nearer day by day, the question OF
government representation in the
house of lords is arousing lengthy
discussion.
In event the labor party comes
into power, with Ramsay Mac Donald
as prime minister-and this is con
sidered in the near future--it will
have only one avowed representative
in the upper house, the Earl of Lynn
berley, socialist.
. One spokesman, labor leaders
agree, would not be nearly enough
and they are casting about for d
plan to strengthen the party's power
among the peers.
1t is thought possible Lords Buck
master, Paimoor and possibly Hal
dane might accept cabinet posts in
labor government if they were
rendered them.
Rank and file of the laborites op-
pose creation of labor peers.
Today's session of the house of
commons was expected to be brief
with adjournment to Tuesday after
additional members have taken their
oath of ofrce.
-Four hundred and seventy Mp 5
were sworn in yesterday.

AMERICANIZINC
PROJECT IN NEED
OF CITY'S HELP

Mrs. l.. w. Sears appeared before
the city council last nighttt enlist
their aid in an AmericanHation plan
which is being fosterePby the~fen
Thousand Club, the American Le-
gion, Elks, Rotary Club and other
civic bodies, in an attempt to make
better citizens of Ell Centro's for
eign and colored population.
- For some time a class has been
conducted on the East Side, but the
present quarters, i'll the rear of the
old East Side school are inadequate
and a better building is badly need
ed to carry on the work.
After hearing Mrs. Sears plan,
the city trustees expressed their will
ingness to assist the proposition and
stated they would be glad to help.
the work would like to have "a small
buIlding erected on the lot where the
CID East Side school is. The council
informed that 1t is against the law
for tho city to spend money on any
property which does not belong to
the city of El Centre, and that the
property in question belongs to the
FL Centre school board.
1t was suggested that the propo-
sition be submitted to the. school
board for their consideration, with
view of making some arrangement
whereby the city could erect the
building, and this action will be
taken.

LETTUCE PRICES
MUCH ggJl HIGHER; I!!st dRi
GOOD OUTLOOK

Imperial Valley lettuce sold to-
day at S1.20 to $1.52H i. o. b. at
the national auction sale in this
city, according to Vincent r. Lamia,
in charge of the office here.
This statement, together with the
fact that many buyers are offering
70 to so cents per packed out crate
is causing a more optimistic feeling
among the lettuce men of the coun-
ty. Demand for good quality let
tuce is fast improving, and strong
er call for desirable sizes is motto
ed. 1t is believed that the market
on packed out crates Will 60 to ST.
shortly.
That production will be light is
now beyond doubt, as evidence OF
further damage is now noted from
the continued frost at nights dur
ing the past week. oo
Arizona lettuce sold at 81 to $l.2O
f. o. b. today. AS approximately. 70
per cent of the product from that
state has already been shipped and
the latter has been reported badly
frosted, shipments from that section
will be light, it is believed.
Today s f. o. b. offerings for I'M
perial Valley are from % to % cents
higher than on Thursday of last
week, which makes the general i'm
provement more evident.

Returns Home

After spending couple of days
here looking over the cotton situa-
ton and in consultation with Horti-
cultural Commissioner Harrigan, A.
L. Bottel, horticultural commission
er of Riverside county, left for his
home today.
Bottell, who is 6 staunch booster
for Acala cotton, stated th&t the
board Of supervisors of this county
had requested the district attorney
to draw up law making it Il mis-
demeanor for growers to plant any
variety other than Acala in that
county.
Already all growers in Riverside
county have promised to plant this
variety only. as Acala has been
raised there this past season by all
growers but two, there has been
little difficulty in persuading these
last two to conform, Bottel stated.
The excellent success of Acala
among the Coachella cotton growers
has already converted many grow
crs of this county to that Tariety.

ICING ISSUE TO
FORE AGAIN, R. R.
WANTS HEARING

That the refrigeration question is
still vital issue, and is again TO
become bone of contention bn-
tween the railroads and the lettuce
shippers became known today when
a letter was received by L. c. Lee
of the Farm Bureau.
According to this communication,
which came from Walter II. Spra-
CUE, Los Angeles traffic attorney
who has represented the Farm Blu
reau interests to date, the railroads
Eave requested a hearing on para
graph G. rule 200-C of the Perish
able Protective Tariff.
This paragraph, which was recent
ly protested by Spraguc in fhc in
terest of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau and ordered suspended by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, is now to receive a hearing on
january l6 in Los Angeles.
That the railroads, in spite of
their statements that paragraph G
does not apply to lettuce, have re-
quested that hearing be he'd at
this time indicates that it is to their
advantage TO get a decision. Para
graph G has been ordered, sus pended
until April %, but if the decision
on Paragraph II should 60 against
the local shippers, it is believed that
Paragraph G might be applied rs
lettuce refrigeration.
Paragraph II covers the standard
refrigeration question as applying
to lettuce and Paragraph G.. while
rot referring directly to lettuce
might in time be revamped to cover
the use of ice on top the lead in
connection with standard refrigera-
ton. AS this new paragraph pro-
vides for the railroad caring for
such icing, local lettuce men believe
that the railroads are working to
get both kinds of icing under their
control.
Sprague will represent the local
interests at this second hearing, ami
no pains will be spared by the let
tucc men to carry the ease to vic
tory.
