BOARD EXTENDS
PERIOD OF WORK
FOR DEPUTIES
Supervisors Object To
Proposed Ordinance on
Time.

Routine matters and minor duties
occupied the members of the county
board of supervisors throughout the
greater part of the bimonthly ses
sion of that body held yesterday.
Few matters of importance were
brought before the meeting.
In the matter of the appointment
of number of deputy sheriffs b,
Sheriff Gillett recently to meet any
situation that might arise from the
unsettled Mexican labor situation,
it was agreed to continue the office
of these men until June 4. While
it is not believed that there will be
any further need of the men, it was
deemed advisable to keep them en-
listed in ease of an emergency.
The sheriff was also granted au-
thority to add one more regular
deputy to his staff until that time.
The board also passed Il resolu-
ton protesting against the proposed
ordinance of this city to put two
hour parking limit on Main street
and Ninth street in the immediate
vicinity of the court house. 1t IS
believed that there was some mis-
understanding regarding this plan,
the city having taken action IN the
matter with the belief that they
were cnaeting the ordinance at the
instance of the county officials, but
it appears now that the county does
rot want such an ordinance.
To Settle Claims
The county authorized the dis
trict attorney to settle the CLAIMS
of defendants in the case OF the
county against L. w. Cuff, Il con
demnation proceeding, it appearing
that the defendants have elected to
abide by a decision returned by a
Jury in the matter some time ago.
Fred Thompson was named by the
board as constable of INLAND town,
shin while Miss Evalyn Boman
was reappointed as county Librarian
for the ensuing period.
In addition to these matters the
board accepted plats of subdivl'
sions. rejected application for the
opening of two pool halls in West
morland, referred the matter of the
purchase of some land near Imperial
to the district attorney and dlspos'
ed of various other minor matters
Al iaurnment until the first Monday
in June was then taken.

CLAIM ARREST
WORK OF SPITE

LOS ANGELES, May 22.-Date
of trial of f. Manchester Boldly,
publisher, and Joel Hickman, city
editor of the Illustrated Daily
News, charged with printing a rae
ing chart in the Saturday morning
issue of the paper, was set today
for June IS.
Boldly and Hickman were arrest
ed late yesterday and taken before
Municipal Judge Wilson where they
entered pleas Of not guilty and de-
manded trial by jury.
The newspapermen were charged
specifically with giving out infor-
nation on horse racing in violation
of the city charter. The count was
based on a printed list of entries in
the kentucky Derby.
The ordinance on which the ar
rest was made was passed by city
council 20 years ago. The arrest
of Boldly and Hickman was the first
known use Of the statute in connec-
tion with newspaper.
Boldly described the entire affair
as "farcical gesture of police, at,
tempting to muzzle a newspaper.
The publisher pointed out that 9TH
er Los Angeles newspapers carried
the identical list and that all papers
customarily carried such lists.
Boldly stated that the reason fol
the arrest could be found in the
spiritcd vice campaign which the
News has been carrying on over
| period of several weeks.
Paper Attacks Vice
| In this campaign the News attack
ed vice conditions and the various
law enforcing agencies of the city
including high police officials.
Complaint on which Boldly ant
Hickman were arrested was sworn
minutes after the regular close OF
the city prosecutor S office and they
were taken before Judge Wilson al
6 p. m., an hour after the regular
close of his court.
The publisher issued a statemen'
| in connection with the arrest. l
read in part;

ton the paper published was moth
ing more than Il list of thorough

newspapers in this city and adla
cent communities published th
same information.
"Yet, the News as a corporation
myself as publisher and Mr.. Rick

out by the police. The arrest wa
a stupid and incredible farce. Tn
