Man Who Caused
Mrs. Wares Death
Was Drunk, Claim

Further tragic details of the
story of the accident in which Mrs.
Louis IL. Ware lost her life Satur-
dav are available today, following
the rush trip made to FL Centro last
night by \. f. Crothers, who re
turned Immediately to Corona to
join his wife and attend the funeral
services.
Yrs. Ware. 20 years old, and a
bride of but three months WAS ac-
companying her husband, former
linotype operator Tor the Press, from
their home H. Coronado to week
end reunion of the Ware family at
the home of the parents in Corona.
The machine which collided with
the Ware car WAS driven by A. A.
Alton, said TO have been intoxicated.
Seeing the machine approaching him
at a furious rate of speed and
swerving from one side of the road
to the other, Mr.. Ware turned his
machine off the pavement and had
two wheels well off the highway and
mad practically stopped when The
tIdNH fdIitt VI l. ' Ibi btiS Af'itAIf'l.
1t was reported that traffic Of
ficers were following the speeding
ear, which was travelling between 90
and 50 miles per hour, just before
the fatal collision occurred. The light
ear of the wares was no match for
the large machine which bore down
on it with tremendous force, and it
seems nothing short of miracle
that Mr.. Ware was not also killed,
as nothing but the spare tire Of
his machine remained uniniured af-
ter the wreck.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ware had been
lifelong sweehearts, and their re-
cent marriage marked the culmina-
tion of an unusually happy ro-
nance.
Alton, who was accompanied by
four men, was>removed to the hos
pital in Santa Ana Yesterday from
the county Jail, suffering from four
broken ribs.

STRONG DEMAND
FOR FIVES BY
LETTUCE TRADE

An interesting condition is being
reported in the lettuce trade today
which is directly traceablc TO the
good effect of the standardization
law and its enforcement. Accord
ing to telegraphic quotations receiv-
ed by various shippers, II strong
demand is coming from the eastern
markets for fives as the desirable
size, rather than fours.
With the present high prices on
lettuce there is naturally good
reason for this condition, as from
the retailer viewpoint, the fives
are easier 20 hanGie on account of
the larger number per crate.
However, prior to this season, ac
cording to some of the eastern rep
resentatives of commission houses,
five dozen pack has meant any
thing in the way of size from five
dozen down to skies or smaller. But
with an honest pack, fives are prov
ing very desirable to handle. The
compactness of the head usually
found in this size also increases the
demand.

RACE HORSES
TURNED BACK
QUARAN TINE

Guards at the three points of sa-
try to Imperial VALLEY are>@seeping
up their vigilance against any pos
sible admittance Of any animal
which might carry the infection of
the dreaded foot and mouth disease,
according to County Veterinarian S.
F. Loffer today, and the county is
still free from any infection.
Mexicans with horses, a goat and
dog have been held up at Kane
Springs, and a dog brought in past
the Coyote Wells guards was disin-
fected, prior to today.
The county is now handling the
situation under the order issued by
the county supervisors, and DR.. Lof-
fer wishes to announce that this
order, which was published in the
Press yesterday, supersedes and eau
GELS any other regulations under
which the situation was being hand
led.
Complications in the matter of
handling interstate traffic on ac-
count of the quarantines are now
arising. Ten horses shipped from
Tijuana and consigned to Maryland
passed through the valley recently.
The animals were in sealed car. At
Yuma the seal was broken to permit
coffee being passed to the man IN
charge of the animals.
While the seal was broken, the
Arizona authorities came up to in
spect the car, and finding the seal
broken, refused to allow the car to
pass through their state. The car
was then switched back to Imperial
valley. Frantic kilograms were eX-
changed by the owners and railroad
officials, which resulted in the car
being routed east via INLAND and
across Nevada.

gambling in this section,' Cover
nor Rodriguez is said to have de-
clared.
An effort to find out as definite
ly as possible just how inclusive the
proposed restrictions will be and
when they win operate was made
this morning without success. The
prevalence of conflicting rumors re-
lative to the fate of gambling
across the border makes it impos-
sible to know just what may be ex-
pected. General opinion, however,
is that some restrictions are pend
ing and that an effort to stop
games of chance in the district is
being made.
Juarez Affected, Too
That gambling resorts in Juarez
are being forced to close down fol-
lowing the 8 o clock border closing
order enacted last Friday night for
the first time is the statement
made in the Ell Paso Herald. Pro
prietors of gambling places there
announced that the game was dead,
the report declared.
Governor Ignacio Enriquez frowns
on gambling, according to Mexican
officials at Juarez, and until Rey-
naldo TaIavera is again acting gov
ernor of the state, it is expected
that there will be little encourage
ment shown toward gambling.

LATE HAMON

TO CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The

torney General Daugherty $4,000
at the 1920 Republican National
convention, r. II. Wilson, of Okla
homa City, declared today in testi-
fving before the senate oil commit
tee that Hamon told him.
The money was paid over because
the Republican national committee
was "broke,' Wilson said Hamon

bear out the charge of Al Jennings,
reformed bandit, that Hamon spent
Il large sum TO nominate the late
President Harding in the hope of
getting the secretaryship of the
interior.

campaign manager for Hamon when
Hamon was fighting Jack McGraw
for q place on the Republican ma
tiOnal convention was then called
to the stand.
Dyche said he is now a prohibi-
tiOn agent.
''Hamon came to me in 1920 and
asked me to manage his campaign, -
Dyche said. - was delegate and
chairman Of the Oklahoma delega-
tion at the national convention.

rral Wood HamOn delegation but
Wood broke away from Hamon ear
ly in the fight. We then asked for
selection of the delegates personal
ly for llamon.
"But as far as pledge for a
