LOCAL CHAMBER
WILL AID FIGHT
FOR MAIL ROUTE,

The Picwick Airways, Inc, Off
cials who arrived on the Pickwick
plane rom Los Angeles and san
Diego Saturday left today for
Yuma. FL paso and Phoenix. and
either towns ON the proposed pas
songcr route Of the company. They
were accompanied by Robert Hays
secretary Of the Associated and I'll
! Ccutro Chambers Of Commerce, who
| is going to visit the individual cham
| hcrS Of commerce at tn" various
| cities to urge a cooperative cam
| paign to secure a Southern Air Mail
/ route which will follow the same
course IS that planned by the Pick
/ wick AlrWayS passenger service.
\ communication has been sent to
/ =. y. Bdudeen. general manager of
the FL Paso Chamber of Commerce
stating that unless vigorous and
/ determined effort is made. the
/ Southern Air Mail Route will not be
! established for a number of months
| or wears. The communication asks
| that the FL Paso Chamber of Com
mcrcc. because Of its central posi-
! ton and adequate staff, take charge
of this campaign and keep in touch
with the other chambers on the route
/ in order that all may work together
to try and obtain this route.
"There is sufficient poundage
now in the Southwest to make this
service self sustaining. says the
communication to FL Paso, land the
flight from California to Dallas
should be daylight trip to connect
with the mail plane leaving Dallas
at : p. m. for the east. This would
overcome the objection that the air
ports on this route are not fully IL
Illuminated. > 1t is of interest to
note that the Imperial County Air
port is fully equipped for proper IL
Elimination and could be used rs 4
landing field for night flying.
in an interview today Captain
Frye. superintendent of operations
for the Pickwick Airways Company
stated: 1--WE cannot help but feel
that We are the logical ones to han
die the southern air mail service, be
cause OF the fact that we are
Financially responsible and well es-
tabliShed in the way of tranSporta
tion. Because of our stage system,
which has been operating fer years,
We would have dual means Of
handling mail. express and passenger
service and the facility of the Pick
wick Stages System would be at the
service Of Pickwick Airways.'
The Associated Chambers of Com
mcrcc OF Imperial Valley is very
anxious that the southern air mail
route should pass through Imperial
Valley. because Of the fact that val
ley cities have sufficient poundage
70 support such system; we need
such route because of our some
whaT isolated position and the i'm
portaucc of obtaining such a route
now ,is Of paramount Importance for,
if more northern route is decided
upon at this time, a route through
Imperial Valley may not be obtain
ed for 4 number OF wears.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. U.p)-
The "best customers" of large
New York rum r,ng-including sew
eral millionaires, society women, Il
moving picture star and former
diplomat--are expected to be sum
moned as witnesses in the trial of
Count Polignac, head of the Gobart
Company, an alleged bootleg con
cern. when the ease is called in New
York courts.
Justice department officials said
today that the case was entirely in
the hands of Assistant U. S. Attor-
rey Robert Watts, of New York.
While the department has not de-
.ermined whether the customers
many listed in Who's Who and in
the New York social register
should be prosecuted for conspiracy
to violate the dry law, it was point
ed out that in view of the recent
Norris ease in Philadelphia, where
II liquor purchase was acquitted
this procedure was unlikely. Off
cials said it was customary to call
all persons, irrespective of their
standing, as witnesses in such cases
and they saw nc reason to ignore
this routine.
Meantime reports were current
here that because of the import
ance of the customers involved, eff
forts had been made to hush the
entire ease.
The records held by Watts, in
Guiding carbon copies of liquor or
GERS bearing the Eames of the pur
ehasers. have been impounded to
prevent information regarding the
patrons from being obtained.
Used Ocean Liner
Attorney General Mitchell has
been given all data in the ease aud
Watts has made several trips here
recently to discuss the matter with
justice and treasury officials. II
is also understood a full report of
the case, in the form of a memo
randum, has been sent to the White
House
Authoritative information here
about the ring and its customers
supports to show that it delivered
245 eases of liquor to the Long
Island estate of prominent busi
ness man. Charges for this service
were 500 ease although the liquor
was purchased abroad by its owner
at cost of about $4,000. The

and carthenware by reliable

No action has been taken against
the steamship company for trans

the action is under way but Off
