YACRANT PICKS
WRONG SPOT TO
ASK FOR AIMS

Charles Williams, - Just picked
the wrong place TO ask for a dime
for cup Of coffee" last night when
he halted a woman in front of the
El Centro police station to pour his
tale of woes into her ear.
Making matters worse-foc Will
liams-was the fact Roy Dupont, p.
T. Farmer and S. j. Clark. police
officers, happened TO be standing
in front of the police station
Dupont stepped forward, begged
Williams presence inside, and Par
mer booked him for vagrancy.
This morning Williams pleaded
guilty before Judge Kendall B.
Perkins. He was fined $40. and the
fire suspended on condition he
leave FL Centro, and stay away.
Arresting officers pointed out this
was not Williams first offense.
Three ether prisoners appeared
before Judge Perkins this morning,
all charged with drunkenness. All

DESILTING PLANT IMPORTANT
PART OF ALL-AMERICAN CANAL

expected to pay all or major part
of the cost of the project.
Repayment to the United States
of the actual cost of construction
of the canal is scheduled over a 40
year period starting one year after
the completion of the canal. There
will be no interest charge.
Among the major benefits to I'M
perial Valley in addition to silt re-
moval is the bringing of the entire
water system into the United States.
At present Imperial Valleys main
canal passes through Mexico for a
distance of 60 miles and because of
the fact Mexican lands are entitled
to half the supply diverted. Com
plications arising from operations in
Mexico are many and at times are
serious, and subservience of Amer
lean ranchers in Imperial Valley to
the dictation of a foreign govern
ment in complete control of the sys-
TEN in Mexico has proved a heavy
handicap to agriculture here.
Construction of the All-American
canal will be important among the
development of California water re-
sources. Within the next genera
ton California will have the bene-
tit OF year-round production from
more than million acres of fertile
lands in the Imperial and Goa
ehella valleys. Leaders in western
development point to this project
as being outstanding in the way of
adding to California's agricultural
assets.

Young ViOIinist
EnthralIs Crowd

NEW YORK, Dec. 2. W.P)--At an
hour last night when most II year
old boys were tucked away in their
beds, an enthusiastic Carnegie
hall audience surged up over the
footlights to pay homage to Master
Ruggiero Ricci, San Francisco child
violinist.
Before a $4,000 house, an unusual
turnout for this year, young Ricci,
who became famous two years ago
when he charmed the metropolitan
critics with the Mendelssohn Con-
ccrto, swept through difficult pro-
gram which started with Bach'S E
Major Vartita and ended with the
Saint SaenS- -Ysaye Caprice.
Tired and sleepy, the young vio-
linist accepted the plaudits of the
crowd and then hurried off to bed
while music critics hurried back to
their newspaper offices to acclaim
him 1.-The greatest talent among all
the youthful prodigies who have
been discovered and trained to sue
cessful concert appearance in re-
cent years"

Rolph Informed
OF County Stand
On Road Camps

Governor Rolph was informed by
wire this morning that, although
Imperial county is willing TO CO.
operate in establishing road camps
for the unemployed here, this coun-
ty cannot afford any great ex~
pense such as might result from
maintaiuance of these camps.
Several members Of the board OF
supervisors. discussing the problem.
agreed to work out any reasonable
plan the state may suggest, and
even indicated they will be willing
to bear q small amount Of the ex-
pense Of such a project. but also
declared the greatest burden OF ex-
pense should fall on the state.
A. Y. Preble and Romeo Smith Jf
the beard of supervisors. and Sher-
iff George L. Campbell yesterday
visited Laguna Dam, which has
been suggested as the first site for
road camps proposed for this coun-
ty.
Transient unemployed kept in tho
proposed Laguna camp would work

cording to the plan discussed yes
tercay afternoon, other camps
would be established lata at various
points in the county.

Immediate Hearing
On Aqueduct Bonds

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 2. W.P)-.
Superior Judge Emmet H. Wilson
today ordered an immediate hear
ing on the validity of the $500, ,000.-
900 Metropolitan Aqueduct bond is
sue, overruling the request Of op-
pcnents of the issue for moro
time.
Counsel for J. E. Burney, taxpay-
er, said they wished time to amend
their complaint to include asserted
fraud in the campaign for the
bond issue. The fraud, they said,
existed in campaign promises to
begin work on the aqueduct i'm
mediately if the issue carried, when
they knew could not begin work so
soon"
Judge Wilson ruled that the op-
position must have known of the as
serted fraud before now and should
have amended their complaint in
time.

WALKER TIRED
AFTER PLEADING
IN MOONEY CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2. U.P)-
Having completed what he conSid-
ers "the greatest single duty Of his
career'-an appeal for a pardon
for Tom Mooney-Mayor James J.
Walker of New York City, had two
calls TO make today before leaving
San Francisco.
His first visit was to be to Mrs.
Mary Mooney, mother Of Tom. at
her little home on Clipper street.
Shortly after the Mooney pardon
hearing closed late yesterday,
Walker told Mother Mooney he
would get out to see her today"
The mayor also planned to call
on DR.. Walter Coffey, cancer Spe-
cialist, and discuss with him plans
for a new cancer treatment unit
which he said New York City will
build near its famous Bellevue
hospital
Walker was still abed at 10:30
q, m. today. resting after his stren-
uous two-hour plea yesterday in
which he asked Governor James
Rolph, Jr., to correct this miscar-
riage of Justice by pardoning
Mooney who was convicted in con-
nection with the 1916 Preparedness
day bombing here.
The mayor expected to leave for
Los Angeles tonight after bidding
farewell to the governor. He said
he may stop at either Santa Bar
bara or Palm Springs for a brief
rest before continuing to New York.

STATE SEEKS
RIGHT OF WAY
FOR HIGHWAY
Dixieland Coyote Wells
Paving Improvement
Enters First Step.

Judge Vaughn N. Thompson to-
day signed an order granting the
state Of California and J. A. Greg
CRY, representing the department OF
public works, immediate possession
Of 3 desired right-of way for WIDEN
ing the San Diego highway between
Dixielend and Coyote Wells.
At the same time Judge Thomp-
son ordered that the state deposit
with the clerk OF rhe court Sl304
10 cover value of the property to
its present holders. pending hear
ing OF a suit based on the states
complaint in eminent domain.
The state, in tnis suit, seeks the
right Of eminent domain to secure
a 75-foot, 28-inch right -of-way,
possibly with the thought of widen
ing the highway by addition of a
new strip Of pavement TO the old.
Through the department of pub
lie works the state filed the COM
plant in eminent domain, and also
an affidavit in svpport of a motion
for immediate possession of the
property involved.
The complaint asks the court TO
condemn the land for a right-of-
way. and TO ascertain the value of
the land and to what extent 1t will
be damaged or benefited by virtue
OF the highway improvements.
The affidavit filed in support of
the motion for immediate possess
sion asked that the nominal dam
age of 81 each be adjudged due
each of the defendants, and listed
the total value of the land in ques-
ton at s1304.
No indication could be found in
the complaint as 10 just what form
the proposed improvements will
take, nor was any mention made of
additional paving.
1t is inferred, however, from the
request for an additional right-of-
way, that the highway will be
widened and otherwise improved. as
have other state highways In this
county during recent months.
If such a move Is contemplated 1t
will make the highway from FL
Centre to San Diego one of the
best in the state, since only the
strip Of pavement between Dixie
land and Coyote Wells now remains
in anything like poor condition.
The suit filed by the state yester-
day afternoon is a necessary and
routine preliminary to actual i'm
provement work.

WOODS HOLE, Mass, Dec. 2.
U.P-EXplosion and fire sank the

bullets at her during a mile chase.
The seven members Of the Star
crew. two of whom suffered burns,

China And Japan Expect
ed To Agree On Terms
Given In Resolution.
LEADERS HOPEFUL
japanese Must Consent
To Quit Manchuria AT
Earliest Possible Date.
By RICHARD u. MCMILLAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

thisCN AtSS tobili Correspondent
PARIS, Dec. ?. GU.P)-The League
of Nations council believed today
that its compromise resolution for
settlement of the Manchurian dis
pute would be accepted by China
and Japan.
Enjoying their first respite from
intense negotiations of the past
month, council members opti-
mistically awaited replies OF Nam
king and Toxic.
Complete copies of the resolution
calling for evacuation of Man.
churia and creation of a general
commission of inquiry were for
warded to Marking and Toxic last
night. Replies were expected to-
night.
With the resolution was a supple
mentary note affirming the presl-
Dental declaration Of Aristide
BRAND that protective measures
against bandits demanded by Japan
would be adequately outlined.
The Japanese delegation told the
United Press it appeared likely that
Japan would accept the councils
solution of the bandit problem by
omitting a bandit clause" from
the resolution and inserting 1t In
the presidential declaration.
The council opposed inclusion of
provision for protection against
bandits In the resolution on the
basis that if would be contrary to
international law, would constitute
a bad precedent, and might estab-
lish the principle of permitting mil
itary invasion on the pretext OF
chasing bandits.
League experts considered the
resolution in its revised form per-
feet legal document not only for
settlement of the present conflict
but for adjustment of future diff
culties between Japan and China in
Manchuria. The resolution assumed
that evacuation of Manchuria
would begin Immediately. 1t pro-
vided, however, that if evacuation
was not competed when the COM
mission of inquiry reaches Man.
churia, interim reports may be sent
to the league for further considera-
ton
If the resolution had not pro-
vided for eventual evacuation to Sc
cure the territorial integrity of
ManchlIria China would have given
formal notice of invocation of
articles of the league covenant call
ng for a world economic and mill
tary front against Japan.
TOXIC, Dec. 2. U.P) - Reports
that Gen. Ma Chan-Shan, Chinese
militarist driven from Tsitsihar by
! the Japanese, was recruiting trCors
| for an attempt to retake the city
were received here today from Tsi.-
sihar.
| Ma had concentrated 10000 men
at Paichuan, north of Tsitsihar, TO
reinforce the troops Of Gen. Esu
Pao-Chen, the unconfirmed reports
said.
General Hsu, according to the
Japanese military intelligence serv-
| ice, was instructed by Marshal
Chang Hseu-Liang and Peiping to
attack Tsitsihar. Military officers
at Mukden therefore sent mixed
brigade to Tsitsihar to strengthen
the remaining small japanese gar
rison.
