INJUNCTION In
BRAWLEY ROW
MADE CLEARER

A fuller understanding of the re-
straining order granted P. I. Had
dan and P. I. Haddan, Jr., in the
Brawley milk war was sought by
A. L. Sebille, Brawley city attorney.
when he appeared before Judge
A. C. Finney in superior court this
morning for discussion with
Harry Horton, attorney for the
Haddans, regarding the restraining
order as amended recently
AS an outcome of the discussion
it was decided the amended re-
Straining order will remain in ef-
feet until after trial of the Had
dams $4,000 damage suit against
the city Of Brawley and city Of
ficials.
What Sebille wished TO know. he
told Judge Finney, was whether the
amended restraining order would
interfere with Brawley officials in
enforcing sanitation laws. even
should the Haddan dairy bo tho
offender
Judge Finney assured the BraW-
ley attorney the restraining order
will not prevent enforcement of any
laws, and is intended only TO pre-.
vent illegal exclusion Of Haddan
milk from BraWley.
BY this Interpretation of the order
ii becomes possible for officials TO
tako any steps justified under law
against the Haddans, in spite of the
suit now pending in superior court.

IMPERIAL HIGHWAY ASSOCIATION TO meet AT CALEx|C0

Valley there is dual advantage to
be gained by the completion of the
new road. Instead of two main
outlets to the Pacific ocean we will
have three, and the third one will
be the most direct. The second adj
vantage is that it will provide di-
rect access from the desert to the
entire coast range south Of Beau
mont.
Over The Butterfield trail route,
residents of Imperial may travel by
very direct line to the LagunaS,
the Warmers Springs area, or the
San Jacinto Mountains to the north.
The northern part of Imperial
Valley should be no less interested
than Calexico and Ell Centro mas
much as the road from Kane
Springs will connect with the pro-
posed Imperial Highway at Warmers
Hot Springs. giving Brawley. Cali
patria and Westlnorland direct ac-
cess to the new highway.
Imperial Valley can we'll afford
to lend all the aid within its pow
er to the new highway project

In its vigorous statement based
on Washington dispatches from

Stimson of misleading statements.
among them the charges that Japan
intended to take all of Manchuria.
and that the Japanese army In
Manchuria was running amuck.
The foreign office said that II
Stimson had been quoted correctly.
he had made serious accusations
against Japan and her motives.
The foreign office said Stimson's
alleged statements that Japan had
expressed regret and had said that
such events would never happen

made in Manchuria were quite
misleading
The foreign office said Japan

were hardly audible. He made his

Short Route To Coast
Will Be Discussed At
Tonight's Meeting.

Imperial Valley has much to gain
from the restoration of the old But
terfield trail west from Coyote Wells,
and the opening of a new route OF
approach from this section Of the
desert to the Los Angeles coast area,
as is proposed by the recently
formed Imperial Highway Associa-
ton
According to those who have been
over the route, Los Angeles will be
nearly 10 miles closer by road to
towns in the south end of Imperial
Valley than at present, if the new
highway through Warmers H o t
Springs, Elsinore and Corona is
completed.
Fortunately, the;e are number
of important towns along the route
which are at present off the main
highways. and which have so much
to gain by the project that they
will lend strong support to the plan.
