LAWS
EXPLAINED BY
POLICE CHIEF

Parking automobiles in the mid
die of the street, either in the bus
mess section or in the residential
district, while chatting or visiting
with friends, is to be stopped by the
police department, Chief Oswalt,
stated today.
Several narrow escapes from SER
ious accidents have prompted the
chief to issue instructions to his
men to arrest the drivers of any
ears who violate the city ordinance
in this connection.
Drivers who wish to discharge
passengers from their cars, will be
permitted sufficient time to accom-.
plish this" the chief said, "but we
ask their cooperation by acting as
promptly as possible. Also drivers
may pull into 'no parking zone
to discharge passengers, but must
not remain any longer than abso-
lutely necessary. Furthermore, mo
parking zones when the law does
not apply to them, may be used for
parking.
''By this is meant where thea.
ter or other building is not being
used, or where mo parking sign
applies only to particular hours.
Outside these hours the public can
use the space
When asked why the police de-
partment has made "no.parking"
zone in front of a vacant lot on
State street, east Of Masonic tenn.
pie, fact that has caused consider
able public comment, Chief Oswalt
explained that it was at the re-
quest Of the fire department and
for the protection Of the public.
The new fire apparatus in making
a turn to the west, requires con-
siderable room, and cars parked in
the space designated, would hamper
the truck in leaving the station, as
well as expose cars parked in the
space to considerable danger. The
truck being parked on the west side
of headquarters has more room in
making a turn to the east and sim
liar zone there is not believed neees-
sary.

ROSE CASE.
DISMISSED
BY court
Charge Against District
Directors Voided by De-
cisiOn of Higher Court.
IS FINAL ACTION
Famous Lobbying" Cases
Have All Been Decided
For District.

With the dismissal in Judge
Larew g court today of the charges
brought by George Herrick Davis,
former assemblyman from Imperial
county, against Mark Rose, director
of the Imperial Irrigation District,
the last of the now famous "lob
bying' accusations against direct
ors of the district has been disposed
of. No appearance was made, order
for dismissal being filed at the
county clerk s office.
This suit, brought subsequently
to grand jury accusations against
Rose, Earl G. Pound, Ira Aten and
G. w. BrOckman, named a number
of specific instances in which it
was alleged Rose took district funds
for use in urging the passage of the
Swing Johnson bill in congress. 1t
was substantially a repetition of
charges brought against Rose and
other directors in the grand jury
accusations.
Attorney Harry Horton, who rep
resented District Attorney Ernest
R. Utley in the grand jury prose-
cutions and who was attorney for
Davis in this last suit, moved in the
order that the dismissal be taken
inasmuch as the decision of the
state supreme court some time ago
and subsequent to the filing of the
suit gave the right to irrigation dis.
trict boards to spend public funds
for securing legislation that affects
directly such districts. The grand
jury accusations were dismissed
some months ago upon recommends
tion of District Attorney Heald who
took that action after having re.
ceived the supreme court decision.
In making report orally to the
district board of directors today,
Charles l.. Childers, who represent
ed the directors in the accusation
cases and Rose in the Davis suit,
stated that since he has been at the
head of the irrigation district legal
department. there have been about
33 cases filed against the district
exclusive of these personal accusa-
tions which are not district cases.
Of these 33 eases all have been dis
posed of except two minor suits
still pending. Every one of those
tried have been won by the district
either in the trial courts or on ap-
peal to the supreme court, Childers
reported.

over Young that he did not feel that

POSTAL COMPANY
OFFICIAL DIES
AT LOCAL HOTEL

o. E. Hogan, aged so, district rep
resentative of the Postal Telegraph
Cable company of Los Angeles, was
found dead in bed in his room in a
local hotel at 2:30 yesterday after
noon. An autopsy was performed on
the body last night by DIR. l.. c..
House, who declared that death was
due to heart disease.
Charles w. Ray, manager of the
local office, discovered the body. He
said that he had sent query to the
room early in the morning but that
a bell boy had reported Hogan was
asleep. When Hogan did not appear
throughout the morning or early in
the afternoon, Ray became suspie-
ious that something was wrong and
went to the room. Hogan was dead.
The deceased came to Ell Centre
about month ago. He was well
known here as he had been in Ell
Centre several times previous dur
ing the heavy shipping seasons to
assist in carrying on the work.
The dead man leaves a wife and
four children at Inglewood. His
home was in Denver, Colo, but the
family moved to Inglewood some
time ago in order to be with him
when he was assigned as district
representative of the company with
supervision over Southern California
and Arizona points.
The body has been removed to the
undertaking parlors of B. f. Lemons
where it is being held pending fu.
neral arrangements. 1t is expected
that it will be taken to Denver for
burial.

of honor of the city of New York
at the Commodore. Governor AL
Smith will be the other speaker.
At midnight Lindbergh will at

The FLYER and his mother were the
guests last night of Clarence H.

He kept the Morgans, the La

his late arrival in New York having
DELAYED the whole program.
After the dinner and reception,
Lindbergh, who does not dance.
watched the dancers for a short
while and left early with his mother.
No definite announcement has
been made as to the length of Lind

had him booked solidly until Friday

Lindbergh came back from the
field accompanied by Blythe and
