from what the spring openings are
bringing forth. Her feathers are to
be seen on many a fine frock. $. rs,
Feathers are deplacing the furs Of

and the feather border doesn't begin
to reach the bottom of the gown.

IMPERIAL FIRM
LOSES MUCH In
THIEVES RAID

An Ingersoll watch, a wrist watch,
IS straight blade razors and 75
pocket knives made up the booty
which thieves got away with dur
ing the night when they entered the
Imperial Valley Hardware company
store at Imperial through glass
transom near the ceiling of the
store. They were forced to make
their exit by the same transom,
since the store was securely lock
ed.
Undersheriff Underwood was call
ed this morning to investigate the
ease and succeeded in locating two
large boxes of candy hidden in the
building next door. He said that
the burglary last night was obvious
lv done by minors and probably the
same ones who had cached the can
dy.
The entrance to the store was
made by climbing over the shed
roof adjoining and reaching almost
to the transom, the glass i'll which
had been broken. The descent to
the floor of the store was made by
climbing over several large coils of
linoleum standing directly under
meath.

TENSE SITUATION
ON IMMIGRATION
BILL in SENATE
WASHINGTON, April 15.-
Without record vote the SEN
ate today approved the Japanese
exclusion amentment to the
immigration bill.

WASHINGTON, April Is. - As
the senate today prepared to adopt
by overwhelming vote the provision
excluding japanese immigrants, the
air of official and diplomatic Wash
ington thickened with portends of
trouble over the manner in which
this question had been handled.
These developments preceded
meeting of the senate:
/. The cabinet discussed the
problem, recognized as presenting
grave possibilities of misunderstood
ing with Japan.
2. Senator Lodge, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, confer
red with President Coolidge.
3. Senator Reed, Pennsylvania,
author of compromise expulsion
provision, conferred with Secretary
of State Hughes.
When debate on the immigration
bill opened in the senate, Senator
David Walsh, Democrat, Massa-
chusetts, assailed the proposal TO
base quotas on the census of 1890.
Walsh declared it to be, an insult to
all foreign nations.
Declaring that the pride of Japan
is touched by the exclusions pro-
posal, Walsh asked: ''Do we think
the peoples OF Italy, Poland, Hun
gary, Austria, Greece or Rumania
have less natioEa. pride than Jap
an!''

$500, 900 WATER BOND ISSUE CARRIE.
Lauayea, Rice,
Cary Named as
City Trustees

Voters in FL Centre gave their
verdict yesterday in the matter of
floating a 100000 water supply
bond issue, when they voted over
whelmingly in favor OF the bonds.
The final vote was 604 for the bond
issue and GA against it.
William Lavayea, John r. Rice
and Ralph II. Cary received $50,
56l and $40 votes respectively for
city trustees, being elected by large
majorities over George A. Carter,
Ro yDuke and Charles Morgan, who
received l53, 122, and 149 votes
each.
There was little excitement dur
ing the day, there being apparent
ly no particular opposition to any
q of the candidates elected or to the
bond issue. The votes east totalled
724, being but "a little over half the
number east in the exciting city
elections of two years ago.
The retiring city trustees will
meet tomorrow night in their last
regular council meeting at the city
hail. On Monday night next they
will hold q meeting at which the
votes will be officially returned and
the new trustees installed. They
will hold their first regular coun-
ell meeting on Wednesday, May 7.
The matter of issuing the water
bonds will be the first business of
the new council and will probably
be the most important part of
their work for several months. 1t
will be necessary to have the bonds
printed and advertised. Bidders for
the bonds will have to be found and
the money for them secured before
much consideration of the construc-
tion plans can be effected. 1t is
estimated that the installation of
the new system will occupy the
greater part of the coming year.
The members of the old council,
who will retire on Monday night,
are j. l.. Travers, water commits
sioner and G. +. Pitzer, street com
missioner. Both men have insti-
tuted n large number of municipal
benefits among which are improve
ments of parks, paving of consider
able street area and several impor-
tant changes in the water supply
plant to secure maximum water pro-
lection from the old system.

GAMBLING STOPS
AT ALL BORDER
RESORTS, RUMOR
Manager A. B. w. Club
Says He Hasn't Been
Notified

Orders to stop all gambling in
the northern district of Lower Cali
ofrnia will 80 in effect tonight, ac-
cording to information from the
border today. Governor Rodriguez
is said to have signed the orders
yesterday.
Frank Miller, manager of the A.
3. w. club at Mexicali, largest
gambling resort there, declared at
noon today that he had not receiv-
ed any orders to close and that of
ficially there had been nothing done
that would force them to close the
gambling tonight.
The fact that Governor Rodriguez
is known to have signed the clos
ing orders, however, makes it an
assured thing Mat gambling will
have to stop and authorities at the
border state today that this is the
last night black jack, roulette, dice
and pokers games can continue there.
The closing order will mean loss
Of approximately 100000 monthly
to the Mexican government in tax
es, according to estimates. All forms
of gambling except horse racing will
be prohibited both at Mexicali and
Tijuana.
Even private clubs will come un-
der the ban, which includes all towns
in the northern district, according
to the governor. The closing order
has been expected for several weeks
and was thought to have been sche-
duled to become effective on the
first of April. Extension Of the
time up to today, however, has been
permitted.
Manager Miller of the Owl or
CARNATIONS has maintained that he
has not been officially notified of
any prohibitive orders since the
rumors first started. He has not
halted the program of enlargement
of the A. b. W. club which is
nearing completion. The additions
to the club will make it possible to
hold boxing exhibitions there and
vardeville performances.
