SPEEDY JUSTICE

Newspapers including this publication, so often
decry the slowness of justice in connection with Grim
ina cases, that when speedy action is obtained it is
only fair that it should be brought to the attention of
the public
In the superior court of Imperial county Monday,
four men were convicted of feonies following trial by
jury and two entered pleas of guilty. Two of the cases.
involving three men, concerned the theft of automo
biles; one was for possession of firearms and attempt
ed robbery and another assault with deadly weapon
and still another passage of bad checks The latter
case was unique in that the jury obtained and the
entire trial completed during the morning session, the
jury requiring only five minutes for verdict.
Speed such this merits commentator for the
judges, the district attorney and the citizens the
lurles 1t should be the rule rather than the exception
though this statement is not intended to convey the
thought that justice in Imperial county is any slower
than elsewhere.
Quick trials, plus limited use of the probation
and parole laws, will do more to cut down criminal
than anything else. 1t will avail little if convic
tons obtained, unless the guilty persons made
to pay the penalty imposed by the law.
District Attorney Heald is to be congratulated
upon the efficiency and dispatch exhibited by his Of
flee in bringing the guilty to justice. continuation
of the policy will make Imperial county unpopular
place for criminals

NEWS is NEWS

If the statement of the two accused is correct, Los
Angeles city officials likely be made to look very
foolish in trying to convict the editor and publisher of
newspaper for printing list of the entries in the
recent Kentucky Derby.
The ordinance upon which the men were arrested
passed twenty years ago. apparently with the idea
of preventing gambling upon the However, it
should be difficult to convince any thinking person that
printing a list of entries is anything than egti
mate to which the readers of any papers
titled.
A sporting affair such the Kentucky Derby is
of interest to thousands of persons who would never
bet upon the Although this paper did not print
list of the entries, it only from lack of available
space. The list sent out by every wire service in
the country and such news distributing agencies the
United Press the Associated Press and others, not
in the habit of spending their money to distribute
that is not legitimate that is not interesting.
Moreover, thousands of dollars spent by fea-
ture services in obtaining and furnishing to their eli
ents, pictures of every horse entered in the race.
1t matters not that the paper operated by the two
accused men is of the socaled 'tablods and has
been somewhat busy in exposing the existence of aleg
ed vice in Los Angeles 1t has perfect right to print
legitimate the freedom of the press being right
no jealousy guarded by those who print news
papers than it is by those who read them.

National Guardsmen used bay

Stone Girls Make Own Way
After Father, Once
Governor, Dies.
BIZ NEA Service

BIZ NEA SerUice
NEW YORK, July 31.-Isobel and
Margaret Stone have known the
luxury and social prestige that
comes with being the daughters OF
a Governor. They have known
wealth, for upon the death of the
late William A. Stone, once chief
executive of the State of Pennsyl-
vania, the two girls inherited nearly
quarter of million dollars. ISobel
Stone has known independent sue
cess, too, for she has sung in opera
and has appeared on the musical
comedy stage.
Live on Barge
Today, Isobel and Margaret have
only memories, but with ambition
undimmed. They exist in poverty
on discarded and rotting river
barge. 1t wouldn't even float were
it not jammed in the mud of stag
nant Sherman Greek, near the
Dykeman street landing in New
York.
mo" Isobel insisted, gamely, at
isn't because we love the great out
of-doors, or are being eccentric. It's
because we get this old moss-cov-
cred barge rent free-and when you
haven't anything in your pocketbook
that's a big consideration.
Asked No Aid
"You see, my sister and / didn't
run true to form. We both love
art and have aspired TO artistic Ca
reers. We haven't asked our rich
relatives for help. So we will have
to find our own way out Of oul
poverty"
Isobel is determined to make g
name for herself on Broadway. Mar
garet, the sister, who was married
some years ago to Ricahrd R. O'Nei
and later separated from him, has
fitted up the old cabin to resemble
studio, where she models all day
long.
~ I had my life to live over
I'd prefer to have to struggle more
in my early years, and then pos
sibly by now, would be Self-reliant
enough to hold my own on Broad
way" Isobel went on.
Lost ALI Money
"I'm convinced that you have to
be hard boiled today to make your
mark. If women are dangerously
so, it is not from choice but from
necessity. French, riding, music
art and travel are all very well foI
drawing room life, but career de-
mands the go-getter spirit and the
ability to give as good as is sent"
At best, the barge is a dismal
looking, ramshackle affair, outside
as we'll as In. The furniture was
left behind as not being worth NOV
ing. The kitchen stove was par

The only suggestion Of beauty
was a green Spanish shawl drapec
over an ugly mission rocker-one
her mother had purchased years
ago in Madrid.
When Ex-Governor Stone died
eight years ago, he left an estate
valued at 100000 besides an $4,000
life insurance policy. Through liti-
cations and unfortunate invest
ments, this evaporated until there
is nothing left.
