THOUSANDS OF
PILGRIMS FLOCK
TO JERUSALEM

JERUSALEM, March So U.P) -
Pilgrims from all parts of the civil
lied world have crowded into this
cradle of Christianity in the last
few weeks to celebrate the Easter
tide.
For the most part the pilgrims are
oblivious to one another, pushing
through the narrow streets of the
ancient city, intent on worshiping at
thei' own places and in their own
way.
Intervention by the governor of
Jerusalem was required, however, to
avert serious conflict and to restore
harmony among the denominations
it was learned last night. The peace
which it was hoped would mark the
holy week of the Roman Catholic
church was disturbed on Maundy
Thursday with dispute between
Roman and Greek Orthodox pilgrims
at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,
and another clash, between Chris
tians and Moslems at David's tomb.
Major Keith Roach, the governor
of Jerusalem, was summoned to
restore order. He was called away
from luncheon with Rudyard Kip
ling, English writer. Serious trouble
was threatening at the Church Of the
Holy Sepulchrc where the Latins
had arrived for pontifcal mass pre-
ceding the feet-washing ceremony,
to find Greeks and Copts trespassing
at the altar.
Trouble was avertcd when the
governor ordered the Romans to wait
until the Greeks had finished their
services.
The dispute between the Moslcms
and the Christians arose when Il
group of Franciscan monks arrived
at David s tomb ON their customary
pilgrimage. The tomb is owned by
a prominent Moslem family and the
sheik refused to permit the Francis
cans to enter. The police ordered
the Franciscans to depart and closed
the premises.

JUNIOR COLLEGE
FIGURES GIVEN
TO CHAMBERS.
GruWell. = Presents Stats
tics For County at Last
Nights Meeting.

Many interesting facts and
figures on the upkeep of a county
junior college and Of junior col
lege in connection with the high
school, were given by b. NJ. Cru
well, superintendent of city schools
of FL Centre, at last night s Associa-
ted Chambers of Commerce meeting,
held at the Oregon Hotel. IN intro
ducing the subject of a county junior
college, Leo Hetzel, president Of the
local chamber, stated that one eff
ficient way to lower taxes is to
eliminate Implications and that one
county junior college would greatly
lower the cost of education, would
keep the valley children home long
er and would eventually be a draw
ing card for Imperial Valley be-
cause the two year junior college
would undoubtedly grow into a four
year college, specializing in agri-
culture, which would draw students
from all parts of the state.
After a survey by w. d. Carey,
county auditor, of the valuations
and assessments of the various
school districts of Imperial Valley,
Gruweu stated that there are two
state laws in connection with the
establishment of junior colleges.
First, a junior college may be estab-
lished in territory having an as
sessed valuation of $l0,000,000 and
400 average attendance in the high
schools and this college formed into
a district junior college. This college
would draw $4,000 from the state
for maintenance purposes and 800
from the state for each student,
whereas, under the present system
of a college connected with high
school, nothing is drawn from the
state for maintenance and only
$24.25 for each student.
The assessed valuation Of lmpe,
rial, Holtville, CaleXico ana Ell
Centre Union high school districts
combined is $26,l47,4 400, according
to Garey's figures and of Calipat
ria and Brawley union high school
districts is $l6,033 $50. "To raise
100000 for county junior col

COUNTY JUSTICES
PROTEST AGAINST
PROPOSED BILL.

Imperial county Justices of the
peace in session yesterday afternoon
at the court house adopted resolu-
tion protesting the bill now before
the state legislature which proposes
that only lawyers qualified to prac-
tlcc in the superior courts of the
state be eligible to hold office as a
judge Of the Justice courts.
The resolution as adopted was for
warded to Assemblyman Myron D.
Wittcr at Sacramento together with
a report of the meeting.
Those who signed the resolution
were H. b. Griffin, Brawley; |.
MayfieId, FL Centre; w. H. Lorenz,
CaleXico; c. H. Hawkins, Imperial;
and +, T, Cook, Wcstmorland.
The bill now before the legislature
provides that only qualified attor-
neys hold the office of the Justice
of the peace. Present holders of
that office believe the enactment of
such bill would react to the detri-
ment of the people in that it would
limit their choice - would increase
the costs of the inferior courts with
out increasing their efficiency and
would tend to inject politics into
this branch of the judiciary, accord
ing to the views of the Imperial
county Justices.
1t is understood that the justices
of the peace of other counties
throughout the state are making
similar protests.

BORAH INTERESTED
Junket Trip to Panama
Is Cause of Much Gem
sur At Capital.
By PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 80. U.Pl
-Drys in congress are looking int
the question OF how far the system
of allowing public officials .tfree
dom of the port' has been abused
with a view of preventing misuse Of
the freedom.
Aroused by the disclosure thai
representative Michaelson, Republi|
can, Illinois, had been indicted fol
smuggling liquor and also the simul
taneous reports which are goind
around capitol corridors about thd
recent junket of congressman and
senators to Panama, the dry auth|
critics are indicating privately they
intend to go to the bottom cf thd
matter.
They have discovered there is nd
law or authority for granting con
gressmen immunity from customs
searches at American ports. Thl
regulations of the treasury departl
ment permits ''high government off
ficials' such a privilege within tlM
discretion of the department bq|
drys say they interpret this reguld
tion as applying only to diplomati
officials.
Literally Interpreted
Inquiring into the practice, thI
dry leaders have ascertained thl
regulation has been subjected 4
liberal Interpretation and that prad
tically all congressman who havl
asked such immunity were granted
it. There have been many report
that congressional junkets abroaI
were being used to bring in liquo
and even stories that diplomati|
representative of the governmei
were sometimes involved.
The matter is not one for legislal
tion but the drys indicate they win
bring pressure upon the treasury
department to abolish the practice
entirely if their investigation lends
proof to the stories they have heard.
Among those interested is Senator
Borah of Idaho, leading dry cam
paigner for President Hoover in the
recent presidential campaign.
Meantime few senators or con-
gressmen desire to talk for publica-
tion either about the Michaelson in
cident or the Panama junket, partic-
ularly about the question of ethics
involved in "voting dry and drink,
ing wet" question aired in the
senate prohibition debate last season
between Borah and Senator James
A. Reed of Missouri. At that time
Reed threatened to make public the
list of congressman he knew who
drank and yet voted dry but an.
nounced the next day he would not
do so.
