H. Elliott, prosperous banker, de-
veloped today into one OF the most
battling cases on police records here.

PETITIONS ON
LACUNA ROAD
SENT TO CAMP

Three petitions, drawn up by D. B.
Roberts, have been sent to Laguna
resort by the El Centre Chamber of
Commerce, to be placed in the Sal
isbury, Kehoe and Terry stores at
that place. The petitions urge the
necessity of the short route from
Imperial valley to the Laguna re-
creational area and point out the
increased travel and amount of
business which would be brought to
the mountain resort, in summer and
winter, by the building of such a
road. The Importance of such a
road as a means Of egress in ease of
fire is also emphasized, as is the
value of high mountain route to the
coast in connection with tourist
travel.
1t is the hope of the chamber
that all San Diego residents in the
Laguna mountains and the many
who visit there during the summer
season viii sign one of the petit
tions and at the end of the sum-
mer they will be sent to the San
Diego board of supervisors and the
forestry service for consideration of
the resolution contained therein
which reads, "We, the undersigned,
petition the board of supervisors of
San Diego county and the forestry
service of the United States to Inn
mediately lay out and construct a
road from Imperial county through
Canebrake canyon to the Laguna

SAN FRANCISCO, July l. Up)
The San Francisco board of super
visors today passed resolution
condemning ''wanton use of fire
arms by prohibition agents, which
has resulted in the killing of PA
people in the United States, nine
of them Californians.
The resolution petitioned the
United States congress to pass Rep.
kahn's bin providing for indemni-
ties of $4,000 to dependents of IN
nocent persons killed by federal
agents.
Statistics showing that in spite of
what he called the prohibition
reign of terror" consumption of
liquor is on the increase, were
quoted by Supervisor Walter
Schmidt, author of the resolution.
Supervisor Sylvester Andriano
regarded the resolution as a protest
againt the prohibition law, view
which, however, other supervisors
did not share.

HESSE SUCCESSOR
FROM RANKS SEEN
Little Pressure Exerted at
District Building for
an Outsider.

The successor to Maj. Edwin 3. Hesse
as superintendent of police most likely
will be made from the ranks of the de-

already been exerted develops for the
appointment of an outsider, 1t was in
Dictated yesterday at the District Build
ing.
Thus far no one high in the official
circles of the Government whose recon-
mendations undoubtedly would have
considerable influence on the Commits
sioners. has shown any apparent in
terest in the candidates for Mai Hesse's
position. Moreover. the Commissioners,
it was said, have no reason to believe
that any high Government official will
seek to interfere with their selection.
Although five members of the police
department have been recommended to
the Commissioners for the impending
vacancy. only two of them are said to
be under serious consideration. These
are Henry G. Pratt and William S.

SHOOTING CHARGE
DENIED BY ALLEN
Policeman Cited in Wounding
Youth Says Manual Was
Not Violated.

Policeman Robert j. Allen Of the third
precinct, who was cited yesterday to
appear before the police trial board for
alleged unwarranted use of his revolver,
last night issued a general denial of
charges preferred by his superiors to
the effect that he violated section of
the police manual in shooting a COL
ored youth Friday night.
Allen shot James Albert Frazier, 10
years old. in the leg as the latter ran
from an alley near Twenty-fourth and
G streets. Allen said Frazier and two
companions refused to obey his COM
mands to halt. and that he shot at
them because he had heard firing in
the alley and feared a felony had been
committed.
Allen said he had been advised by the
station clerk of a fight between two
colored men in the 1900 block of Viz
ginia avenue, in which one of the men
was severely cut, and that he had been
instructed to prevent further trouble if
possible and to watch out for attempted
reprisalS.
When he heard the pistol shots, Allen
said, he concluded that friends of the
injured man were seeking revenge, and
that some one had been killed or
wounded.
Allen was ordered to appear before
the trial board next Thursday by Maj
Edwin 5. Hesse, who proceeded upon
report of the shooting furnished by In
spector Louis j. Stoll.

Gino Simi, whose middle ini-
tial is j., was married this
morning to Miss Regina Lavezzo,
at Holy Rosary Church, Third
and F SITS. N. W., the nuptial
mass having been said at 8
o'clock by the Rev. Nicholas
DeCarlo.
That is the only piece Of news
concerning the Holy Rosy So
ciety, which sponsors sports
within the congregation as well
as church-going and nonprofan-
ity, that Gino hasn't brought
into this department days be-
fore it happened.
This modesty on the part Of
Signor ,Simi is very becoming,
but he must not let such a
pretty romance ruin his sense
of news values. Father DeCarlo
is authority for the fact that
the erstwhile Signoretta Lavezzo
is a charming girl.
And this department is au-
thority for the statement that
Gino Simi is a splendid fellow
himself and deserves the fairest
of the fair which he takes as
his bride today.
