bled a school session, when several

fore Judge Whitelaw to answer to
charges of speeding preferred

MEXICO TO ASK
PASSPORT FROM
ALL IS RUM0R

Rumors along the border today
state that the Mexican government,
within a few days, will pass Il
regulation making it necessary for
all people crossing the line into
Mexico to have passports, er iden-
tification cards.
Last week the Mexican immi-
grafton service issued Il rule that
all foreign workers in Mexico must
possess an Identification card. The
new rule will be made to apply to
visitors. as well as to those who
have work below the line, though
residing elsewhere.
1t is said this step has been tax
en- because of the action of the
American immigration department
refusing to allow Mexican subjects
into this country without am iden-
tification card or passport, even
though they just came across to do
their trading in CaleXico.

VALLEY ISSUES
ARE VETOED BY
CAL. GOVERNOR

Several bills in which Imperial
valley was greatly interested, were
included in the number which Gov
ernor Richardson refused to sign,
Saturday, and accordingly they are
lost until the next session of the
legislature.
OF chief interest is the bill pro-
viding for an appropriation of $780,
600 for u leased wire market report
service into Imperial Valley and
other points, which would have been
of untold assistance to shippers of
fruit and produce throughout the
state, The governor action on
this bill came as a big disappoint-
ment to Imperial Valley cantaloupe
and lettuce shippers, as it was un-
derstood he was favorable to it. He
is quoted as stating that the ap-
preparation was unnecessary.
The governor also vetoed an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the Uni.
versity of California to be used in
grape investigation, on the grounds
that the university already has n
generous appropriation which will
cover all needs.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for
the eradication of camelthorn weed,
part of which would have been
used in this county, also met with
the governor s disapproval on the
ground that it was county and
not state matter. Local ranchers
commented on the fact that the
governor did not consider the era
dication of the citrus white fly pest
n county matter, when sum was
voted for this purpose TO northern
counties.
The road from El Centre to Ca,
lexico will remain county high
way, the governor vetoing n bill to
include it as state highway ON the
grounds that,it does not belong to
the state highway system.

FARM BUREAU TO
TAKE STAND ON
DISTRICT RO W
Name Members to Draft
Resolution On
Matter

The chief discussion at the. Farm
Bureau Directors meeting on Sat
urday was the appointment of Il
committee by President Q. C.
Webster to draft resolutions which
would express the past and present
attitude of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau toward stand of the
board of directors of the Imperial
Irrigation District IN the matter Of
the SwingJohnsOn bill. After
much discussion the committee APP
pointed were d. d. Irvine of Braw-
ley, G.. A. Harlan of Calexico and
at the suggestion of several Of the
members, President Q. G. Webster
was placed upon the committee.
The subject of "Butter Substi-
tutes' was one of the strongest
measures taken up at the directors
meeting and resolution was pass
ed requesting the governor to sign
the bill which was recently passed
by the legislature and senate which
will prevent oleomargarine being
sold under the disguise of butter,
because it is of such importance
to the dairy industry of the valley,
according to Q. c. Webster, the
president of the bureau. Mr.. Webs
ter also suggested that all farm
ccnters send in resolution to the
governor as soon ias possible in
order that he may be influenced to
see the importance of signing this
bill.
The Imperial County Mid Win
ter Fair, which will be held in
HtHwley during the coming fall
was taken up and an appeal was
made by Mr.. Webster that each
farm center in the valley take an
active interest in the fair as it is
such a splendid way of showing
to the outside world just what I'M
perial county can produce. The
matter of the fair being continued
over any Sunday was discussed and
it was voted that the bureau did
not approve of the fair being open
ON this day and that they did not
approve of any questionable conces-

LYNN REFUSES
TO BE BAILED
OUT OF JAIL
by United Press Leased Wire

YUMA, Ariz., April 27.-George
Lynn, local editor accused of Grim.
inal libel, refused today to allow his
friends to bail him out of county
Jail.
He will be given a hearing before
Justice j. II. Smith, probably tomor-
row.
The editor was arrested Saturday
on complaint of +. +. Sanguinetti,
millionaire, who claims Lynn falsely
accused him of selling polluted milk,
and falling to pay all of his taxes.
Lynn has waged n bitter editorial
campaign against Sanguinetti for
several weeks, and instigated suit
against the millionaire for alleged
failure't TO make proper tax returns.
Hundreds of sympathizers have
visited Lynn at the county Jail, and
his friends urged him to accept the
$4,000 bonds they have prepared for
him, without avail. He contends that
he has been jailed unjustly and that
by accepting bail it might be in
ferred he has lost faith in his
cause.
Mrs. Georgette Lynn, the editor s
wife, ran her husbands paper to-
lay. "When my husband gets out
of Jail / shall return my house
work." she wrote in n first page
editorial. "But I serve notice that
if he is convicted and sent to prison
/ am going to buy the Herald and
print the truth as long as Washing
ton sends no official notice that the
constitution of the United States
has been repealed. "

RANCHER BADLY 4
HURT AS PAIR !
TAKES HIS MONEY
Accused Men Captured
at Yuma Bridge
o. With Money !

James Ray, prominent rancher IN
the Holtville community, is in n SER
ious condition in the Holtville hos
pital, following murderous assault
committed upon him at his home
near midnight last night by Fl. w.
Calhoun and L. R. Biglow, according
to the sheriff's office.
Calhoun and Biglow are now un-
der arrest at Yuma, and are fight
ing extradition to California. Dis
trict Attorney Utley today made
out demand upon the governor
of Arizona for their return to this
settle to stand trial, and will forward
the request to Governor Richardson
of California, for endorsement at
once.
Quick work by the sheriff's de-
partment resulted in the arrest Of
the alleged thugs. AS soon as word
of the assault was received at the
sheriff's office, Undersheriff Bert
Underwood, and Deputy Sheriff
Stirling OswaIt went to the scene
of the crime.
They found Ray able to give q
good description of his assailants,
advising the officers that the men
were travelling in a Marmon car.
This information was sent out to
Deputy Sheriff Quick at the quar-
rantine station at Yuma bridge, as
well as to all police departments in
/ the county, and at San Diego and
Los Angeles.
Underwood and Oswalt trailed the
car in the direction of Holtville and
took out over the Yuma road after
the fugitives.
Quick is said to have recognized
the bandits as they drove up to the
/ quarantine station and tipped off
the Yuma officers who placed the
: pair under arrest. Both were found
to be heavily armed, and Calhoun
had nearly $500 In his possession.
Ray had advised the officers that
the bandits had demanded money
and after hammering him into in
sensibility they robbed him. He told
| Underwood and Oswalt that the
robbers had taken nearly $500 from
him.
At the Holtville hospital this
morning it was reported that Ray is
in a serious condition and has Il
number of bad wounds about the
head, which required several
stitches to close.
A description of the ear in which
Calhoun and Biglow were driving
has been sent to coast police de-
partments, as it is believed the car
was stolen and that the men may
be wanted for other crimes.
