ONLY HANDFUL
OF VETERANS TO
ATTEND REUNION

DES MONIES, July 16. U.P)-Not
even the most optimistic members
Of the entertainment committee
hope today that there will be
great number of G. A. R. veterans
attending the national encampment
here September 1917.
The past year has seen the de-
cadence of what was once a mighty
army into feeble echo of its
strength, and reports which have
reached headquarters here indicate
that many of the surviving veterans
will be too feeble to make the
journey to the national encamp-
| ment.
Approximately 10000 persons are
expected, however, due to the in
creased membership in subsidiary
organizations-the Women's Relief
Corps: Ladies of the CT. A. r.: Sons
of Union Veterans and its auxiliary.
and the Daughters of Union Vet
Grams. All of these groups have
sent in large registration lists, Of
ficials said, and hotel accommoda-
tions have already been reserved by
more than 1000 persons from all
parts of the country.
Iowa'S G.. A. r., which will en-
tertain the national convention, is
experiencing difficulty in finding
committee members among the
ranks of veterans, and most of the
work is falling on officials of the
auxiliaries.
The program will be held at the
Shrine Temple, which seats 10000.
The United States Army band from
Washington is expected to provide
music.

MOONEY BILLINGS
CASE DYNAMITE
TO SUNNY JIM

Governor Rolph could not have
handled a case of dynamite any
more gingerly than he did questions
put to him yesterday afternoon by
a Press representative, regarding
the Wickersham commissions ref
erence in its report to the Mooney
Billings case.
A synopsis of the commissions
remarks, prepared by the United
Press, was offered to the governor
AS soon as he was told what 1t was,
he had nothing to say
He agreed to read through the sy-
nopsis. which explained in detail
the raking over which the commits
sion gave the supreme court of
California for its handling of the
Mooney Billings case, which was
termed a shocking example of the
crudity of the law in preventing
the reopening OF case after 1t had
been decided"
do you agree with the commits
sion's views?" the governor was
asked?
II can't say anything about this, -
he replied.
do you hold the opinion that the
Mooney Billings case is something
for the courts to decide and that it
is not within the province of the
governor?" he was asked
II have nothing to say was the
reply.
"Will you make any comment on
the Mooney Billings case, COVER
nor?" was the next question.
II have nothing to say" was re-
peated.
did you have a good trip down
from the capital?" the reporter
asked, deciding the governor really
had nothing to say
"It was great and l enjoyed every
minute of it, and I'm glad to have
the opportunity to renew old ac-
quaintances and make new ones

that he could say plenty besides 81

IMAGINE THEIR
EMBARRASSMENT
ON READING IT

Monday nights wave of holdups
on Imperial Valley highways took
on humorous turn yesterday when
Roy Dupont, Ell Centro police Off
Ger, and F. w. Callahan, police pa
Tolman. stepped into the picture.
Dupont explained the affair.
Reading Tuesdays Press, he said,
he was more than shocked to learn
a Seeley service station proprietor
reported to the sheriff's office the
two holdup artists stopped at his
place, early Tuesday morning,
bought gas, said they were from
the sheriff'S office. and asked if he
had heard of any holdups near
there.
The cause of Dupont's shock was
this: He and Callahan were the two
who stopped at the service station,
after they had received word of
the holdups. They informed the
operator they we're officers. Dupont
said, but did not tell him they were
from the sheriff's office.
After Dupont read the newspa-
per account, he went into hasty
conference with Callahan. The re-
suit was the two officers yesterday
afternoon paid a second visit to
the service station in Seeley.
The operator, the same who had
attended them early Tuesday morn
ing, was on duty. He stepped for
ward to service their car. Then he
got good view of the officers. He
stepped behind gas pump and
cautiously inquired their business.
The officers explained their mis-
sion, and the man admitted he took
them for the holdup men when they
stopped Tuesday morning. He was
highly relieved to learn they were
officers.

RUMORS CAUSE !.
MANY TO STAY
ACROSS BORDER

Rumors that the International
gate at Calexico would remain open
until 1890 o'clock last night In
honor of Governor James Rolph's
visit to the valley, caused between
300 and 400 residents of the United
States to talk long and forcefully
before they we're permitted to leave
Mexicali for their homes.
Just who started the rumor on its
way cannot be determined but the
irate reVelers would have made
short work of the person during the
siege at the gate If they could have
found him.
Customs officials finally agreed to
open the gate as they were con-
vinced that the mischief had been
done by others than those who
clamored for entrance to their ma.
tive land.

ing.
TT is through them that each state
