BRAWLEY MAN IS
FOUND GUILTY
DOPE SMUGGLING

George McDaniels, 40, Brawley,
who was arrested when he was
found to have 433 tablets of heroin
in his possession at the border in
Calexico on January 81, was con-
victed on charge of attempting
to smuggle narcotics into the Unit
ed States in U. S. Federal court at
San Diego yesterday. His sentence
will be announced today.
The arrest of McDaniels followed
a tip which had been given the
county sheriff in which it wassstat-
ed that he had been known 10 be
selling narcotics in Imperial coun-
ty. Sheriff Gillett and Deputies
Oswalt and Ball waited at the bor-
der on the day they arrested Me-
Daniels, and when they saw him
coming across they stopped him
and made search which revealed
the large quantity of heroin.
The entire 433 tablets were pro-
duced in court yesterday as evidence
against McDaniels. 1t was stated
that they would have retailed for
$3.50 per tablet. The find was the
largest ever made by officials nj
the border in Calexico.
1t is likely that Mechanics will
be given at least five years in the
federal prison at Leavenworth. He
had just finished IA prison term
shortly before he was arrested this
time. The charge that he had serv-
ed time for was that of smuggling
Chinese across the border.

JUDGE LANDIS
"STAR" WITNESS
CAPITAL PROBE

WASHINGTON, May g Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Landis furnished
n new thrill today at the<senate in
vestigation of former Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty. Lands took the
stand to give details in the case of
Phil Grossman, a Chicago saloon
keeper, pardoned by President Cool
idge.
With Judge Lands testifying, the
Daugherty investigation became
the "star' attraction at the capi-
tol. Word spread quickly through
the office building and spectators
deserted other Investigations and
crowded into the room.
Landis shook hands with the com
mittce and took seat behind the
table while w. B. Wooden, examiner
for the federal trade commission,
gave further details of antitrust
cases, in which no action has been
taken by the department of justice.
Senator Wheeler, of Montana,
committee prosecutor read a
letter from C. w. Middlekauff, spe-
cial assistant attorney general at
Chicago, in which he said that Lam
dis had refused to recommend a pa
role for Grossman.
Grossman was sentenced to a year
in Jail by Lands for contempt of
court in a liquor violation case. The
salon keeper never served day,
according to testimony.
Landis said that he told Middle
kauff if it were true that Grossman
had been sentenced on the testimony
of IA liar, as Middlekauff charged,
he should publicly demand a pardon.

STILL HOLDING
BRIDES MATE
IN R. R. DEATH
CalexicO Parents of Dead
Girl Sa VS. She Walked
In Sleep

! Although Alfred w. Castle hus-
/ band of Grace Alice Castle, whose
| body was found near Goshen on the
Southern Pacific tracks yesterday
morning, is still held by authorities
at Los Angeles pending the inquest
to be held atsTulare tomorrow, it
is believed that he will be released
and the story that his bride fell
from the train during the night ac-
cepted as the true cause of her
| death.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. O. Miller, par
ents of the dead girl, whose ranch
! is located at the north edge of Ca
lexico on the Mt. Signal road, told
| officers that their daughter had of
! ten been known to walk in her sleep
and that her death may have come
/ from somnambulism, in which she
wandered to the platform of the
train and stepped off.
, 1t is not known whether the body
, will be brought to Calexico for bur-
i ial after the inquest tomorrow or
what arrangements will be made.
! Mr.. and Mrs. Miller were still at
| their home today and it is likely
that they will not attempt to go to
| Tulare, but will await the outcome
of the inquest at home.
! Alfred Castle told officers at Los
| Angeles that he and his wife were
on their way from Seattle to Calex-
leo, where they were omake their
home. ''We were very happy he
said. 81 do not believe my wife
committed suicide. She had no cause
to as far as / know
Castle was turned over to Sheriff
Dreisbach of Tulare county today
and will be taken to Tulare for the
inquest, after which it is indicated
he will be set free, as no charge
has been lodged against him.
The young couple were married
in Charleston, Washington, on Feb
ruary 10. They left Seattle on their
way to Calexico. When he awoke
yesterday morning, Castle said he
found that his wife was missing
from the berth. He at once report
ed her disappearance to train Off
cials, but it was not until he had
gone to police headquarters in Los
Angeles that he was notified his
wife s body had been found. He
appeared heart broken.
Mrs. Castle s neck was broken by
her fall from the train and her body
was severely bruised and cut.

SELL RAW MILK
TO Los ANGELES

Possibilities for the establish
ment of Los Angeles diarket for
Imperial Valley raw milk.,--xill be
investigated by committee Of
three, appointed by President Char
les +. Scott of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce this week. The
members of the committee as nam
ed are: Walter B. Havekorst, Braw-
ley; B. ID. Bibbins, FL Centre; Carl
Morford, Holtville.
The appointment of the commit
tee was the result of a discussion
of the situation at the recent meet
ing of the Associated Chambers at
HOltville. 1t was suggested then
that the curtailment of sources of
milk supply through the prevalence
of livestock contagion, would make
it advisable for this county 10 con
template building up a market for
raw milk in Los Angeles and other
coast cities.
President Scott was asked to ap.
point committee to look into the
matter at that time, but he stated
that he would give the appointment
some thought before naming the
committee.
Because of certain city ordinances
maintained by Los Angeles, making
it difficult for dairymen here to
comply with the regulations, there
has been little or no attempt here
tofore to ship raw milk to the
coast metropolis. 1t is expected
that the committee will report on
the application of these ordinances
and the feasibility of Imperial Val
ley s attempting to establish 4 mar
ket in Los Angeles.

"A photographic copy Of the l6-year
old birth certificate of Lillian Louisa

came Mrs. Charles Chaplin of Bever-
ly Hills, was tossed on to the Chap
lin lawn early today about the time
the morning milk was delivered. 1t
beamed from Il prominent page of the

had conspired to place it for COM
parison with the Mexican marriage
records which last week depicted
Miss Grey rs a l9-yearo old bride and
gave Chaplin's age as 35.
According to the certificate pub.
lished by the Times Miss Grey was
born near Hollywood April l5, 1908.
She later attended two schools in
Los Angeles, records of which reveal
the same date. She took the pro-
fessionai name of Lita Grey.
This, according to the compulsory
school law Of California. makes Mrs.
Chaplin subject to the requirements
of education authorities, whose duty
1t is to see that no minor escapes
schooling until after his or her 18th
birthday.
1t does not necessarily mean, school
authorities pointed out, that the film

URGES VETS TO
FILE CLAIMS
January l Is Last Day For
Claims for T. r.. Mental
Diseases

With January /, 1926, as the last
day in which former service men
may file claims for tuberculosis or
nervous and mental disease. Will" N
+. Murphy, Field Representative for
the U. S. Veterans Bureau, who is
in town today issues warning to
eX-service men that their claims will
be disallowed unless filed before
that date.
Under the provisions of the Reed
johnson Bill, all former service men
who have contracted active tuber-
culosis of 10 percent degree or
nervous and mental disease since
the war are presumed to have con-
tracted the disease while in service
and their claims will be allowed if
filed before the first Of the year,
Mr.. Murphy said.
The Bureau has called several men
into the office for examinations, but
they have failed to report, Mr.. Muir
ply added. Transportation to and
from the Fargo office will be paid
to any former service men who wish
examinations on these cases and the
transportation Of an attendant to
travel with him will be furnished
also, if the service man is unable
to travel alone.
If the citizens in the communities
where there are such cases would
persuade the men to come into Fargo
for these examinations, the work of
the Bureau would be materially aid
ed, Mr.. Murphy said.
