Fred Stanley of Los Angeles, who
was arrested by city police Monday
afternoon, was turned over to county
authorities to be held for investiga.
tion by customs officials when he
appeared at police headquarters at
10 O'Clock this morning.
Stanley had given $50 bond for
appearance at 9 clock and when
he did not show up at that time his
bail was declared forfeited by Judge
Perkins. In the meantime police had
learned that he was being sought in
other quarters and search for him
was instituted. Stanley, however,
appeared at headquarters at 10 o.
clock and he was than turned over
to the custody of Sheriff Gillett.
1t was intimated by county offic-
ials that Stanley was wanted on
suspicion of being implicated in an
alleged smuggling deal by customs
officials. A thorough investigation

Jury Debating
PadillO Case

A jury was still trying to figure
out at > o'clock this afternoon
whether or not Juan Padillo of
Brawley escaped from an officer of
the law as charged in complaint
brought against hin! by attaches of
the sheriff's office. The case went
into their hands at 1905 O'Clock
this morning.
f.. b. Christian, Clayburn Poole
and C. b. Freeman offered testi-
mony relative to the alleged escape
while Judge Mayfield testified to
having sentenced the man to 1877
days in the county Jail when he
pleaded guilty to charge of petit
larceny.
Padillo was the only one to take
the stand for the defense and like
Alfredo Valencia, who yesterday was
found not guilty on a similar COM
plant, he said that he fell asleep
in a field near where members of
the chain gang were working, and
when he awoke the men were gone.
Unlike Valencia he did not at
tempt to find his way back to FL
Centre. Instead he went to Mexico
and after staying there few weeks
he went to work on a ranch near
Bonds Corner. He was employed
there at the time of his re-arrest, he
declared.
The case of ]. A. Brotherton, also
charged with having escaped from
the custody of an officer will be be-
gun as soon as a verdict is returned
by the jury in the Padillo case.

in Imperial county be closed for 4
period of two years and a notice of
intention to purchase the property
now occupied by the Imperial air.
port marked the closing session of
the board of supervisors held yester-

ion of the board to make the pur
chase of the property on Monday,
November 7. This property is to be
used by the county for the estab-
lishment of municipal airport.
The heavy cut made by huntsmen
into the number of quail in the val
ley has led supervisors to request
that the quail season here be closed
for two years in order to replenish
the supply. The board has also
made a request to the fish and
game commission asking that four
additional deputy game wardens be
appointed in Imperial county.
The supervisors also asked that
the county clerk write a letter to
Governor Young, asking that the
state offer a reward for the arrest
and conviction of the slayers of
Cecil f. Gibson, rancher of the Cal
ipatria district. Raincy Morrison,
who was employed by the murdered
man, is in the county Jail on a
charge of murder, while George Eas
son, another hand at the ranch, is
being sought.

Ev PAUL, z. ILAJLON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Politics
was taboo at the first White House
breakfast of the season today when
IA members of the Republican ma
tional committee sat down with
President Coolidge for wheat cakes
and coffee.
Not only was the statement of
Mr.. Coolidge that he does not choose
to be a candidate avoided but no
word Of politics was spoken, com
mittee men said when they depart
ed.
Some members have indicated pri
vately they would like an amplifica.
tion of Mr.. Coolidge s statement but
they have been informed by Butler
that none can be expected and the
subject was not discussed at the
breakfast.
Among themselves the members
discussed the prospect of drafting
the president and some of them
favor that procedure. OF the other
candidates, Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, vice president Dawes and
Charles f. Hughes of New York
were most widely discussed. One of
the conferees was reported to have
decided to try to persuade Hughes
to be an open candidate.
Few of the so called Lowden
states, which are supposed to be
working for former Governor Frank

scented at the breakfast.

Yankee ROOter Is First in

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-Take the
ease of Ralph Arkle of Pittsburgh
lust one of life s tragedies. Yon
drop solitary tear and then forget
all about him but it's major cas-
ualty to Ralph.
For two years he awaited the time
that Pittsburgh should win the Ma
tional league pcnnant once more.
In 1925 he was the first man in line
at the bleachers' gate, was inter
viewed, found his picture in the pa
rors and generally experienced the
sweet uses of publicity. And Ralph
wanted to be n repeater. He had
his chance but he muffed it. He was
Il minutes too late.
Instead, the first in line was an
u year old youth from Corners
vile, Ind, whose name appears on
the senior class roll at the high
school there as Lester McMichael.
Young Lester hooked rides from his
home town and reached Pittsburgh
Yesterday morning. At noon sharp
he was in front of the bleachers
gate, ready for the 2l hour vigil.
Ralph arrived, alas, at 12:14.
To make matters worse, Lester
turned out to be Yankee rooter,
and to Ralph, who thinks the Pirates
will win the series in four games,
that constituted rank heresy.
The third in line was p. A. Bolgcr,
of Pittsburgh, another bucaneer
hacker Then came Bill Peters, 81,
of Baltimore, who hiked from the
Maryland city with pup tent on
his back.
Woman in Line
Most of the other earl Y arrivals
were Pittsburghers. About Goth in
the line stood "A woman who declined
to give her name.
81 m just one of the thousands
whose certified checks were return
ed, - she said.
Through the night the fans stood
under n star lit sky and awaited the
was an orderly gathering.
y wagon containing camp stools
drew up at the curb adjacent to the
waiting line and the seats were sold
at 80 cents each.
One group of four arrived with
five boxes. They used four seats,
put the fifth in the center, drew
forth pack of cards and began
IN all night game.
Vendors of sandwiches, peanuts,
hot dogs and other such baseball
necessities were on hand to give the
fans a chance to stave off hunger
and thirst.
Many of the crowd brought blan-
lets and because of the chill of the
night found them useful.

Final Plans For

Bringing back new merchandise
for the formal opening of the new
NJ. o. King company on Friday
night, Mrs. M. o. King, manager of

ment, and w. II. Kemp, secretary of
the company, arrived here from Los
Angeles this morning.
Last minute styles and the most
up to date merchandise We're brought
back by the two buyers, and will be
featured in Friday night s show.
Emphasis that the opening is on
Friday night, and not tomorrow
night, is being made as due to some
misunderstanding many people are
under the impression that the big
event was scheduled for Thursday
evening.
The store will be closed all day
Friday to prepare for the evenings

RURAL JUVENILE
CLUBS PLANNING
MANY ACTIVITIES

Interesting plans for the activities
of the Imperial Valley Agricultural
Clubs were announced today, and
will include special feeder pigs,
poultry, gardening and home orchard
contests.
According to Assistant Farm Ad-
visor ID. f. Creighton, who is in
charge of the All Club work in this
county, the home orchard contest
should particularly appeal to all who
are anxious to have number of
fruit and shade trees about their
homes. The contest, details of
which will be published later, prom
iscs to be a novel one in that it will
be of several years duration, the
trees to be later used in production
of fruit contests. Nurserymen are
being asked to quote prices on
grapefruit, lime, lemon, orange,
ounce, apricot, peach and other var
icties of trees. as well as on grape
vines for use in these contests.
The pig contest, Creighton states,
will start at Midwinter Fair time,
and will finish in March or April. 1t
is planned to distribute the pigs at
the fair at Brawley on December
10.
Poultry contests will start dur
ing the winter or spring, and will
close at the Imperial Valley Mid
winter Fair in 1929.
"Any boy or girl between the
ages of s and Is years who resides
in Imperial County and lives on n
ranch is eligible to become club
member, by signing an enrolment
card,' Creighton explained. Bulle-
tins and record book for keeping
an accurate cost account are then
mailed to each member, and the con
test is on.
Last year more than 200 Imperial
Valley boys and girls were enrolled
in the clubs, and fine results were
obtained. This years goal is set
at 800 members, with at least 100 of
this total attending the summer
camp in the Laguna mountains.
Any rural boy or girl interested
in becoming club member should
communicate with the farm advis
or 5 office in the court house.
