Too Much Rain
 to Suit Some
But It Helps Vegetation and Makes Business for
 Merchants

People who were praying for rain are having more of it now than they think is good for them. It is caus- ing some inconvenience, but even so it is a great benefit to vegetation and cannot but help crops on the farms.
 This is matter of no concern to folks who had planned for out of door sports, but after all it would be well to bear in mind that others have interests. Besides look at all the people you see about the streets with umbrellas, rain coats and rub bers, some of them new, for it goes without saying that after long dry spell many do not know where to find their rubbers and umbrellas and have to purchase new ones. All this makes business good for the mer- chant.

Full Vindication
 For Patrolman
Committee on Men and Discipline Find Reilly Gutess
 of Charges Made Against Him Commended for
 Action

When the committee on men and discipline reports on the charges ae4inst Patrolman Joseph Reilly it will be a complete vindication with commendations on the officers actions, 1t became evident following meeting yesterday afternoon dur ing which the whole matter was aired. The meeting was held to hear the charges preferred by one Charles Murphy of Charles street who alleged Patrolman Reilly was intoxicated and wrongly used his blackjack on the night of May Sth.
 The committee could not take any official action but will make recom- mefidations to the board of police commissioners, probably at the next meeting. week from tomorrow. After the hearing yesterday mem bers of the committee expressed the opinions that the officer should be commended for the efficient man ner in which he conducted himself on the night in question.
 According to the stories told by Murphy and his brother Daniel Murphy. they attempted to enter Kicks dancing hall on May Sth but that Officer Reilly refused to permit them to enter, charging they were drunk. They testified he was intoxi- cated himself and jumped on them using his blackjack freely when ltAey remonstrated.
 Ofiicer Reilly said he halted Danny Murphy from entering, be- cause the lad was drunk. He said they went to the second floor 1and- ing and remained hanging around. He said he went down to move them along when they jumped on him, striking him about the face. He said h6 was forced to use his blackjack and when 1t came into view, Charles Murphy ran. He said he got Daniel under control and rang up for the patrol. While he was waiting for the patrol, he said Thomas Blade came along with Murphy's sister. O0fcer Reilly said he instructed Miss Hblen Murphy to have her brother, Charles turn himself in, because he was going to arrest him anyway. Charles reported to the station. The next day in city court, Charles was .ound guilty of breach of the peace Ind resistance and Daniel was con- -icted on charges of drunkenness, hreach of the peace and resistance.

FL CENTRIC TO
BE ON SOUTHERN
AIRMAEL ROUTE

The fact that Ell Centro is def
initely located on the Southern Air
! Mail route was established today by
! the receipt of an airway map of the
| United States by the Ell Centre
! Chamber of Commerce. The map is
/ published by the United States De-
partment of Commerce. aeronautics
branch, and was printed on Decem-
Der /. 1890. It includes all the air.
ways in the United States with a
/ different type of marking for the
i following classes of airways: lighted
/ airwavs as of December /, 1890; air.
way equipped for day operating:
ailwayS under construction for night
operations, airways under construc-
ton fer day operations and other
airways.
FL Centro is marked on the air.
ways under construction for night
operations. which is the line which
will carry the Southern air mail and
is shown on the map as directly on
the route of the airway which starts
at San Diego and continues through
Phoenix, Tucson, Douglas and El
PaSo 10 Fort Worth. In addition to
the airway routes marked on the
map. there is list of scheduled air
operators which includes the route
number. name of operator. territory
included in route, miles and class of
service.
There have been many rumorS in
the past two years that the FL Gen.
tro Chamber has been working ac-
lively, together with other civic
bodies, for the establishment of the
Southern air mail and the designa-
ton of the Imperial County Airport
as a port of call. Some rumors have
been to the effect that this airport
had been chosen definitely, others
that the county airport was entirely
off the route or that there would be
nc stop whatever in Imperial Valley.
As nearly as the Ell Centro Chamber
can determine at this time, the
Southern air mail route will pass
the valley in a line from San Diego
to a point slightly south of Dixie
land. thence northeast to the I'M
perial County airport and SOUTH
ward again to a point below Holt
vile, continuing from there in a
straight line to Yuma. Lighted
beacons are already being installed
to mark this route and, while state
ments have been heard to the et-
feet that the county airport will be
only an emergency field. the Ell Cen
tro Chamber believes from commu-
nications it has received that I'M
perial Valley viii be included as one
of the stopping places for the South
ern air mail and that the Imperial
County airport will be designated as
a port of call.
