VALLEY STORES
TO DEMONSTRATE
new PH0NOCRAPH

Commencing today and continu
ing all this week, the Imperial Val
! ley Hardware Company will give a
demonstration concert of the Ortho
! phonic Nictrola at its stores in FL
/ Centre, Brawlev and Calexico. to
! aequaint the people of Imperial Val.
! lev with this latest creation of the
| Victor company.
| Similar demonstration were
started this morning by Victor
| dealers all through the United
States.
Those who have been privileged
to hear the Orthophonic pronounce
it the most perfect reproducer of
music that has vet been presented
to the public. At private dem
onstration given this morning. a
Leopold Godowsky piano record
was played and representative of
the Press was almost ready to take
oath that 4 piano was being used
in the demonstration room, So clear
was the reproduction.
The Victor company has made a
change in its manufacturing policy,
making only four models now in
stead of large number which were
formerly marketed. Each Of the
models includes the new Ortho-
phonie features these being an alum
mum reprodueer, with a full grad
uated sounding horn. The automatic
stop with which the new model is
equipped, makes it unnecessary for
the operator to raise the lid in order
to stop the machine.
A pleasing feature is the top of
the cabinet, which cannot be slam
med down. A specially patented fix
ture makes the top close gradually,
thereby protecting it from being
broken.
The general public is invited to
attend the concerts which will be
given this week.

Fine Silt Makes
Water Look Dirty

Loads Of fine silt in the Colo

Superintendent McKibben of the El
Centre water department for the
muddy condition Of the local water
Saturday and yesterday.
"The silt is so fine that it does
not settle in the basins at the wa
ter plant" McKibben said, "and
it works through the filter into the
mains no matter what We may do to
guard against it.
while the water is not very in
viting for drinking purposes under
such conditions, it is not injuriou:
and the public has not occasion fol-
alarm. 1t is disagreeable to have
to put up with the annoyance but
there is nothing that can be done to
eliminate it.''

BITTER BATTLE
TO CULMINATE
in S. F. VOTING
By United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2. -
Voters of San Francisco viii go to
the polls tomorrow to elect nine
members Of the boarn of super visors
and other city officials, ending the
most bitter local political fight in
years.
The .'sell cutters against the
"rule or ruin minority are the
designations given the opposition
by each of the groups.
Ralph McLeran, majority head of
the supervisors, is one Of the in
cumbents seeking reelection. He
and. others Of the majority on the
board are opposed On the claim
they "sold OUT the city municipal
Heteh Hetchy power project TO the
Pacific Gas and Electric company
by building highly expensive plant
and then selling the electricity to
the corporation instead Of arranging
for a municipal distribution system.
The minority group seeking re-
election and reinforeements by the
ousting Of the opposition, alleges
the McLeran faction is responsible
for the SAB city and county tax
rate now in effect, the highest il
history.
The majority holds that if Heteh
Hetchy power Were not sold to the
p. G. & f. it would go to waste, and
that the high tax rate was due to
a round of civic improvements and
higher police and teacher salaries
which the citizens approved. The
newspapers of the city have been di-
vided equally in the fight, three up
holding and three attacking the Nc
Leran regime.

TRACK HABITUES
INVADE TIJUANA
FOR new SEASON

TIJUANA RACE TRACK, Mex,
Oct. 2.-Owners, trainers, jockeys
and horses, acclaimed idols of the
race fans during previous renewals
of the Coffroth Handicap since its
Inauguration in 1917, will be found
at Tijuana when tho season Of 100
or more days is opened Thanksgiv-
ing Day. In fact some of these
are expected to figure quite promi-
nently in Who's Whs. Of the $75,-
900 Coffroth Handicap, the world s
richest race, to be decided March %.
A review Of the six previous Cof-
froth Handieaps and reservations
for the coming Tijuana season dis
closes that old favorites will be on
hand and it is practically assured
that at least two previous winners
of the gigantic stake will 60 post
ward in it again. These kingly
thoroughbreds are Runstar, the win
ner Of the stake in 1924, and Ather-
stone the victor Of last season.
! Runstar is now owned by Baron
! Long, San Diego sportsman, and it
is declared that he is training nicely
for early racing at the border. Ath-
! erstone, who took down $50 6,425 for
his triumph last season, will arrive
here shortly and is to be trained by
Mrs. G. H. Abbott. This woman has
attained much success in training
| thoroughbreds since the death of
Jeff Heard, her father, who was a
! horesman Of the old school.
Long may possibly be represented
! bv two runners in the coming Cof-
froth, for it is said that he intends
to start Cherry Tree in the classic.
! The horse was third in 1924.
| There is some likelihood that
Henry Mcdaniel, who trains for
Commoder j. X. L. Ross, may come
to Tijuana in charge of string for
another owner. 1t is said that Ross
will give him a leave of absence
this winter, if Mcdaniel closes ne
gotiations to train at Tijuana for
a big eastern owner. Mcdaniel
prepped Rebuke from the Ross
string to win the Coffroth in 1923.
General Thateher's presence at
! Tijuana will be another reminder of
last season s Coffroth. This gallant
distance horse is still the star of
the Nevada Stock Farm and un-
doubtedly will be under the silks
, in the stake. He was second to
Atherstone in the last running.
Another is Osprey Of the Leslie
Stable. This good son Of Fair Play
was second to Runstar in the 1924
renewal. Trainer Earl Linnell has
Osprey and others at Fairmont
Park. He will entrain for Tijuana
November l, he reports. Osprey is
declared to the in grand condition
and almost likely will be q starter
in the Thanksgiving Handicap, the
feature Of the opening day.
| After an absence Of several years
from Tijuana, G. r. Allen, who own
ed and trained Mulciber, the 1922
winner of the classic, will return for
the season. He is also at Fairmont
Park and will come with seven good
runners in the same shipment with
Linnell.
Jockey w. Kelsey, who holds
the honor Of having been astride
the first winner Of the Coffroth,
will be among the riders at the
border oval. Kelsey piloted Sasin
to victory in the initial running OF
the stake in 1917. He is now riding
for w. A. Anderson, well known
San Deigo horseman, who will race
a big and pretentious string at "
| juana.

The prosecution then called its

perman of San Antonio, Texas, who
admitted receiving statements from

Of the statement which Mitchell
handed him and Reid objected to
its admissibility because Of the

Winship evaded direct ruling
on admissibility, announcing he
"would await action by the Judge

the marks. Reid refused to agree to
it's admission.
MOreland then sought to intro
duce Mitchell's statement by hav-
ing Wager read it from a Texas

ed, maintaining there might be
changes in the printed version that
Wager could not detect.
To reinforce his objection, Reid
read the statement wager produced
and made particular objection to

ers.
"This copy is not substantially az

The upshot Of the wrangle, how

RED GRANGE AND
BEARS LOSE GAME
WITH PROVIDENCE

BOSTON, Mass, Dee. l0.-Red
Grange was completely outplayed
and outclasscd yesterday by Don
Miller and Jim Crowley of Notre
Dame, of "Four Horscmcn fame,
when the Chicago Bears, with Grange
as their leader, lost to the Provi
dence steam rollers with which
Crowley and Miller were playing.
The score was: Providence 9,
Chicago 6.
Chicago failed to score until the
final period of play-and Grange
was not even in the game at the
time.
Grange failed TO make any sub
stantial gains at any time and his
passes were futile, either being in
tcrcepted or going incomplete for
the most part.
Grange arrived for the game adj
mittedly tired and was taken out
in the third period of play while a
crowd of 10000 was bowling for
"some action' -
