JOAQUIN MuRTGTA

Had it not been for love of tae
beautiful Rosita Felix, California
would probably never have heard OF
the bandit, joaquin Murieta. Born
in 1892 in the State Of Sonora, Of
good family and educated in native
schools, Joaquin, when seventeen
fell in love with Rosita. Her father
frowned on the match so the young
couple ran away to California, were
married, and early in 1850 settled
down in a Stanislaus river mining
camp. Joaquin located "A paying
placer mine and they were very
happy until a party Of Americans
arrived, insulted Rosita, and usurp-
ed the claim. They we're forced ON
from place to place, Murieta at last
becoming a monte dealer in order 70
earn a living. As climax to this
persecution, Murieta was captured
w a party of Americans who claim
cd the horse he had borrowed from
bis half brother, was stolen. They
hanged the brother and flogged
Murieta. 1T was then the young
Mexican, eighteen years old, started
on his career of vengeance.

Many Imperial county dairymen
4 believe that they must be satisfied
with low production from their
7 dairy COWS during the summer
months. A study of the Cow Test
ing Association records for July
/ shows that this is not the case.
., ASliile the average production of the
Y I9l4 cows tested during July was
I ealiy 25.s lbs. butterfat per COW for
Il be month, of the IS herds tested
Averaged more than 81 IDS, of but
ssterfat per COW. 1t is evident, there
4 lore, that it is possible to get very
satisfactory DAIRY production even
ia1July if only good dairy cows are
MIXED and if these cows are given
j the proper feed and attention. IF
ybar dairy herd is not producing q
. pound Of butterfat per COW per day,
why not Join the Cow Testing Assoc
ciation and find out how to increase
the production!

ION. Their average production yas

G|BSONpS VIEWS IN
 ACCORD WITH U. 5.
Statement on 10000 Ton Cruis-
 CTS Clarifies Disagreement

Washington, July 15.-(P1The address of Ambassador Gibson at the Geneva naval conference should dispel the / idea that the United States created the 10000 ton cruiser type for it's own purposes in the opinion of Washington officials.
 Resenting the implication that ence of the United States. the Wash ing on government feels MT. Gib- son has clarified this viewpoint by his statement showing the Washing ton conference had adopted this ton mage for maximum size in this class without controversy. The officials here pointed out that, while the American navy had no equivalent ship the British in 1919, two years before the Washington barley, had four cruisers of 9,750 tons each and this led to the adoption of the 1o,- 900 maximum tonnage type.
 Another point of disproving a motive on the part of America to create this type for it's own needs was cited in the fact that the United States will have no such vessel in commission until 1929, having start ed to build four of these cruisers only in 1926. Since the Washington conference the information reach ing officials here shows that Great Britain has built 15 vessels of this class.
 The British delegation is practi- cally alone on the maximum ton- mage cruiser question, it is believed here by Mir. Gibson stressing the similarity of the viewpoints of the American and Japanese delegations. However, the officials here believe the frank views of the head of the American delegation will tend to bring a more reasonable basis of discussion to the conference and will react favorably upon British opinion. The officials are understood not to view with merit the suggestion to postpone the conference and are hopeful that a complete understand ing for the negotiations will be at tained.

BRIDGEMAN BACKED.
 BY BRITISH PRESS
Geneva Statements on Naval
 Strength Widely Approved

London, July 15.-(P1The speech at Geneva of w. c. Bridgeman, out lining Great Britain's position with regard to cruisers, was given a pro- minent showing in the London morn ing newspapers and the first lord of the British admiralty received many editorials pats on the back for his masterly effort. .
 The Chronicle describes 1t as a determined attempt on Great Brit aims part to save the conference from falling" adding an expression of hope that this fresh approach to the problem will be sympatheti- cally explored by the United States. !"
 While thinking the outlook at the moment is discouraging and de- pressing, the Times nevertheless sees hope in the earnestness of the speakers at yesterdays plenary ses- sion.
 Tt must be owner. however" it adds, that the speech of MT. Gibson, Chief American delegate, made later, does not afford much ground for hope that the difficulties of the cruiser question will be solved, as MT. Gibson apparently is still unable to appreciate MT. Bridgeman's argu- ments on Great Britain's necessity for a large number of small cruis- ers.''
 Denying the idea that parity or competition enter into the British proposals, the Times contends that Great Britain has gone farther than anyone in stating plain case, and that mo serious attempt has yet been made to answer it on its merits"
 The anti-government Daily News, while asserting it is "undeniable that the British case has been grossly misrepresented in America" and that the chairman of the naval committee admitted when presenting American naval estimates that there was no real comparison between the British and American cruisers requirements, says the British ad- miralty's real fault is that if they would moderate their claims an agreement ought to be assured.

Ordinance Committee Rejects Adjustment Board Vote

A stiff controversy in the com mon council is anticipated as re- suit of the action of the ordinance committee last evening in voting to reject the recommendation of the board of adjustment that the peti- tion of Miss Hattie T. Peterson for a change in zone on Hillcrest ave- nue be granted. When the matter was before the board of adjustment there was no opposition, according to Secretary Thomas Linder, who sat with the ordinance committee last evening, and the board, after inspecting the affected premises felt the petition should be granted. Last evening delegation of prop erty owners on Hillcrest avenue told the ordinance committee the petitioner was "a speculative build CT" and that if the petition was granted, it would mean the de- struction of the section as a one family house district.
 Those appearing in opposition to the proposed change were E. E. Ludwigson of 50 Hillcrest avenue, William J. Long of 1403 Stanley street. whose property backs into the affected district, Fred E. Carl son of 51 Hillcrest avenue, Leon E. Jackson of 99 Hillcrest avenue and Paul V. Guiberson of 115 Hillcrest avenue. They represented that they own single houses on the street and are strongly opposed to allowing two-family dwellings there. The matter before the committee ap- peared in the following language: For change of zone on the west side of Hillcrest avenue from q point 209 feet north of the north side of Stanley street northerly to a point opposite the north line of Residence B district on the east side of Hillcrest avenue, with this addenda: Said district to extend 125 feet westerly from the west bound ary of Hillcrest avenue. This change to be from Residence A to Residence B."
 The committee approved the recommendation of the board of adjustment for an increase in depth of Business B district on the east side of Glen street, as peti toned for by John Kunz.
