pold and Richard Loeb, 10 year old
college graduates and sons Of mill
lionaires, today pleaded not guilty
to charges of kidnapping and MUIR

it were arraigend in criminal court
before Chief Justice John r. Cav
erly. 1t was Loeb's 10Th birthday
anniversary.
An overflow crowd, composed
largely of youths, jammed the court
room. There were a few women
present, due largely to the fact that
the court room was crowded long
before the procession of women
spectators started.
Voices of the throng were hushed
when Leopold and Loeb, both plain
ly nervous, were led down the aisle
by court bailiffs. They were seat
ed at the table with Clarence OAR
row and Benjamin Bacrach, refence
attorneys.
The two youths took their places
before theNrail and were told of the
indictments voted against them by
the county grand jury.
"You have been indicted on
charges of kidnapping Robert
Franks, - the clerk said. do you
plead builty of not guiltya''
"Not guilty, sir,' Leopold said
firmly.
Loeb was more hesitant, but fin
ally spoke up:
Not guilty
The same questions and answers
were repeated regarding the charge
of first degree murder.
States Attorney Robert f. Grove
then asked Judge Caverly to set the
date for trial Eat the earliest pos
sible moment.
Bacrach argued for a delay, stat
ing that the defense needed con-
siderable time to prepare its case.
He also pointed to 'an excited pub
lie opinion which, he said, should
be taken into consideration it a
4" fair trial. is to be obtained.
Judge Caverly then announced the
trial would begin on August 4.
Possible motions to quash the in
dictments will be heard on July 81,
the court stated.

Inspected

4 Arizona markets will be opened to
Imperial Valley fruits and yege-
tables beginning at 1901 Thursday
morning, according to telegraphic
word received last night at the of
fices of G. w. Runge, district freight
and passenger traffic manager of
the Southern Pacific. The wire,
which was sent by Dick Smith, gen
ieral agent of the Southern Pacific in
Phoenix, Arizona, reads as follows:
Effective at 1901 a. IN. Thurs
day, June ~, fruits and vegetables
including cantaloupes, may be ship
ped out of Imperial county, Cali
fornia, into Arizona in disinfected
cars in carload lots, if accompanied
by certificate from a representative
Of the agricultural department of
California stating that shipment
was grown, packed and loaded in
Imperial county, California.
In commenting on the action of
Arizona, Mr.. Runge stated that it
would fit in just right with the re-
quirements of cantaloupe shippers
here, since Arizona markets are large
ly consumers of ripe melons, and un-
til the season here is well along the
markets in California can usually
take all the ripes that are picked.
The modification of the ban will
also permit watermelon shipments to
90 into Arizona, Mr.. Runge stated,
and many of the principal markets
for watermelons are there.

CONTROVERSY IS
BLAMED FOR ODLE
STAND ON WEIR
Carberry's Report Goes
to War Department;
Action Soon

Superintendent Loson L. Odle Of
the Fort Yuma Indian reservation
is attempting to give vent to his
personal feelings against Imperial
county by protesting the construc-
tion of a temporary weir at Fanlon
Heading in the Colorado river, ac-
cording to an opinion expressed by
Congressman Phil Swing in letter
to E. B. Merritt, assistant COM
missioner of Indian Affairs at
Washington. I. I,
Superintendent Odle recently pro-
tested to the war department asking
that approval Of the application
made by the Irrigation District for
permission to construct the weir be
postponed until fact could be pre-
sented to show that Indian lands
were being damaged through seep-
age resulting from high water levels
caused by the weirs hitherto con-
structed at Hanlon Heading.
In explaining the situation and
the need for the construction of the
brush weirs to carry irrigation
water into the valley during the
latter part Of the growing season,
Congressman Swing said that Mr..
Odle's protest was personal mat
ter developing from a controversy
over the presence Of johnson grass
in the reservation and later over
quarantine measures enacted by
Arizona in which he attempted to
keep the highways through thssses-
ervation closed. At that time Im-
perial county officials interferred
and after considerable feeling had
been aroused, forced the opening
Of the highways to the Arizona
border. ~
