DAVIDSON CASE
TRANSFERRED TO
SAN FRANCISCO

Final action, insofar as local
courts are concerned, in the million
dollar damage suit of William Caine
Davidson against San Francisco
county officials was taken today
when Judge Vaughn N. Thompson
granted motion of the defendants
for change of venue.
BY this action all further court
proceedings in this suit will take
place in San Francisco.
II. I. Mulcrevy. San Francisco
county clerk, Thomas Finn, former
bay county sheriff, and l.. w. Hels-
cher. cashier of the Liberty Bank
of San Francisco, are defendants
in the suit Many others were
named when the complaint was
first filed. but the case against
them was dismissed when Davidson
entered default against Mulcrevy,
Finn and Helscher.
Davidson has carried on a steady
fight against change of venue, as
serting repeatedly that if the case
is tried in San Francisco court he
will not have a chance to get
justice. In an affidavit filed some
time ago he stated that his life had
been threatened should he ever ap-
pear in the Bay City" again.
Davidson is suing for sI.500 900
damages for alleged false impris-
onment, charging that he was rail-
roaded to San Quentin by San
Francisco officials to suppress test
imony he would have given before
the House of Representatives sub
committee investigating alcoholic
activities in the United States in
1926. His testimony. said Davidson,
would have involved Pacific coast
banks in liquor escrow deals.
1t was at the request of bankers.
intimated Davidson in his CON-
plant. that San Francisco officials
ordered his arrest and trial on a
charge of forgery. The plaintiff
stated that he is a former boot
logger and was in possession of in q.
formation that would have damaged
influential men on the Pacific
coast badly.

new STANDARD IS
SET IN PERfECTING
FLAVOR OF COFFEE
Roasting Process Used EX-
clusively by Hills Bros.
Insures Uniformity

For years Hills Bros. have en-
ioyed a distinct advantage in the
coffee roasting industry. For they
have a patented roasting process
that prevents variation in flavor.
The basic principle of the proc
ess is roasting "a little at a time" !"
Automatically measured lots of
rare blended coffees-about three
pounds-are introduced into the
roaster in steady stream and pass
along in a continuous flow, roasting
little at time. The speed of the
flow and degree of heat never vary
with the result that Hills Bros.
Coffee is absolutely uniform.
No other coffee has the same de-
lieious flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee
because no other coffee is roasted
the same way. This patented proc
ess-Controlled Roasting-is radi-
cally different from the common
bulk-roasting method.
Freshness is assured in Hills
Bros. Coffee because it is packed in
vacuum cans. By this process, air,
which destroys the flavor of coffee.
is removed from the can and kept
out. Ordinary cans, even if air.
tight, do not keep coffee fresh.
Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros.
Coffee. Ask for it by name and look
for the Arab-the trade -mark-on
the can.

DELAY GRANTED
IN ARRANGEMENT
OF ACCUSED MAN

Criminal cases that have occa-
stoned interest in Imperial Valley
came before Judge A. c. Finney this
morning in order that he might set
dates for trial.
A. D. Walters, alias Three Finger
Blackie," was arraigned on a charge
of numbering Charles Abel in Cali
patria five years ago. He notified

services of Lyman Robertson as at
torney. The case was continued un-
til Robertson can be present at the

of, trial of Jose Gonzales on charge
of grand theft was started. A jury

hear evidence against Gonzales
Following triai on the charge of
grand theft, Gonzales will be tried
on another charge, that of burglary
of the Samaha Store in Brawley.

weapon against Eugene Ramos was

ford, deputy district attorney, when

pressed unwillingness to appear at
