SIGNAL CORPS FILMS
 AND TWO BOXING BOUTS
 ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD

I Manager Harris, in charge for the IS A. C., and Manager Brownell, of the ILiberty theater, successfully put over
 an imprompto performance last even | ing from which large portion of the
 proceeds will find way to the s. A. c. coffers. A packed house greeted the
 official U s. Signal Corps pictures
 three reels of them-showing this
 important branch of the U. s. Army
 in the S. o. s. and combat areas of France and with the army of occupa- tion at Coblentz
 The pictures, from a technical stand point, were particularly interesting. The offensive section under fire in the Argonne Forest gave the audience an excellent idea of the work this branch of the service accomplished at the front. A testimonial from Gen eral Pershing said "the victories of army was largely responsible by the remarkable organized efforts of the Signal Corps
 Two boxing exhibitions followed the war films.

RespOn sibility
For Ross Death

Norman G. Ross, 27, immigration
inspector, met his death as the re.
suit Of a gunshot wound, the bullet
being discharged from q gun in the
hands of either Jose Prado or Fran
cisco Garlic. That was the decision
returned by eoroner's jury follow.
ing inquisition into the death of
Ross at the offices Of Coroner Lem
ons this morning.
Prado, one of the men named by
the jury, is dead. He was shot to
death on a ranch about three miles
southeast of Mexicali by Alberto
Garcia chief of the rurales Satur-
day in the manhunt for the slay-
ers of Ross. GARLIC is still numbered
among the missing. While it is the
general belief that Prado is the one
that fired the shot that killed Ross,
this has not been definitely estab-
lished as yet.
Garlic was last seen boarding an
automobile near the scene of the
crime, apparently intent on going to
Westmorland to obtain medical aid
for Ross.
Witnesses testified to the arrest
of Prado and Garlic at Kane Springs
Friday afternoon by Inspectors Ross
and Ferguson, of Ross leaving in
the ear belonging to the prisoners
and of the subsequent finding of
his body in the ear on the highway
west of Westmorland. Others testi-
fled to the holdups of Prado, who
relieved three different parties of
their automobiles in his mad dash
to Calexico where he abandoned
the last car and disappeared over
the border, only to be killed later
by Garcia.
The body of Ross will be taken
to Huntington Park tonight for bur-
ial. A guard of honor composed of
six members of the immigration de-
partment will accompany it on the
journey. Ross was married, his wife
living in Huntington Park, the in
spector making weekly visits to
his home but had been working out
of the headquarters in FL Centre
for more than a year.

Power Talk at
Lions Club

Power development affecting I'm
perial Valley was the subject of an
interesting talk given Tuesday be-
fore the Ell Centre Lions Club by
Carl +. Ernst, representative of the
Southern Sierras Power Company at
Calexico. Ernst gave the history of
the power company, telling of its
beginnings in 1908 when the first
development was made in Nevada
to furnish electricity for mines
there.
Since that time the power devel-
opment of the company has been ex-
tended so that 20 years from the
time when the first power was
transmitted in 1906, it's production
has increased 16 times over. The
fact that the watetr furnishing pow
er here is used five times by hav-
ing plants at different levels was
one Of the interesting items brought
out. The present equipment which
now serves the valley was also de-
scribed.
r. H. McKibben, who acted as
chairman of the day, gave an enter
tanning account of his trip to Peru
some years ago, where he installed
a pipe line for one of the large min
ing companies. The climate, people,
customs and other interesting facts
were given by McKibben.
Entertainment numbers included
songs by a group of members of the
Calpiatria Lions Club and by Phil
Benson, Calipatria Lion, and Harry
Becker of this city.

KIWANIS CLUBS
OF VALLEY HOLD
JOINT MEETING

A lively gct-together meeting of
the Rrawlcy, Calexieo and FL Cen
tro Kiwanis clubs was held at the
barbara Worth hotel last night,
Numerous plans were outlined dur
ing the course of the evening, tend
ing to cement the friendship of the
three organizations and to cooper
ate in working toward the closer re-
lationhip of the cities, towns and
rural districts of the valley.
Addresses were given by A. C.

eau drive for membership now under

be given ready support by its mem
bers in its revenue raising campaign.
The matter was then directed to be
placed before the board of directors
OF each of the kiwanis clubs at their
nature being possible at the meeting
last night.
A lengthy discussion followed re-
lative to a campaign to be conduct
ed bv the Kiwanis clubs to sell I'm
rerial Valley to its own people. 1t
was pointed out that considerable
publicity of a harmful nature is be-
ing given out by residents, who
leave the valley during the summer
months. The plan calls for the nam
ing of a committee by each of the
kiwanis Clubs, the committees to
address civic organizations and
women s clubs of the valley on the
subject.

of the Kiwanis club Of the valley at
Painted Canyon on April l were
tentatively outlined at the meeting.

ers and letters to members of the !
debating teams of the valley. Ii |
was brought out that there is no
school fund available for this pur-
pose and the Kiwanians agreed that
the debaters were deserving of this |

Youths Seeking
Heavy Damages

Court trial in the cases of Eugene
Farmer and Kenneth Farmer a
gainst Mark L. Hardin was opened
in Judge A. C. Finney's court this
morning. The plaintiffs are being
represented legally by their father,
j. R. Farmer, as guardian, both be-
ing minors. The two cases have
been consolidated for the purpose of
trial.
The case grows out of the Hallow-
e'en night shooting in Imperial in
1926 in which Hardin admitted in
criminal court that he had fired at
a group of boys whom he charged
had been carousing about and dam
aging some of his property. Sew
eral youngsters were injured by the
shot and Hardin was arrested on a
charge of assault with a deadly wea-
pom.
A jury failed to agree in the case
when first brought to trial but Har.
din later entered a plea of guilty.
Each of the youngsters in the
civil action claims injuries as a re-
suit of the shooting and both have
asked punitive damages in the sum
of $4,000.

Charges Made

An answer was filed at the coun-
ty clerk s office this morning in
the ease of s. V. and j. V. Cortel-
you against G. w. Jernigan. The
defendant in the answer not only

for a number of months of rent for
70 acres of land, he charges that he
is not indebted to the plaintiff but
that the plaintiff is indebted to

MACCI0 GRANTED
ANOTHER TRIAL
BY JUDGE LAREW

An affidavit filed by the defense
and made out by Antonio Forte
proved the link which enabled the
attorneys for Salvatore Maggie to
establish proof that members of the
jury which convicted Maggie on a
charges of manslaughter had disre-
garded court instructions while seat
ed in judgment of the defendant.
AS result the hearing on motion
for new trial before Judge Larew
yesterday resulted in the granting
of the motion by the court. Retrial
of Maggie on the manslaughter
charge has been set for March IL.
Maggie was tried as q result of
the accident on the Holtville high
way early in November which re-
suited in the death Of A. C. Peck, a
tourist.
During the trial in Judge Larew's
court the members of the jury were
instructed that they were not to
visit the scene of the accident. In
the affidavit submitted by Forte it
was brought out that he had seen
two members Of the jury at the
point on the highway where the ac-
cident occurred.
G. L. Farmer, one Of the jurymen,
admitted when he took the stand
that he had gone to the scene where
the accident occurred in company
with L. S. Weed. He also admitted
that he had discussed the trip with
other members of the jury.
The defense contended that his
arguments relative to the trip had
served to sway the jurors toward
conviction. The prosecution called
members of the jury to the stand
in an effort to rebute his claim but
two of the jurors are said to have
admitted that it did serve to help
make them change their opinions.
The court then returned it's de-
cision upholding the motion for new
trial. c. l.. Brown, Ernest Utley;
and r. B. Whitelaw appeared as at.
torneys for the defense while Dis
trict Attorney Heald and E. B. Pat
terson appeared for the prosecution.
