LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3. W.n)-
Bearing a hand Illuminated parch-
ment invitation to President Hoove'
to attend the Olympic Games in
Los Angeles in 1881, Louis B. Mayer,
motion picture producer, was en-
route to Washington today.

modern era, it has been the custom

MAIN STREET
MURDER CASE
TRIAL MONDAY
Greek Goes On Trial Next
Week On Charge Of
Staying Fellow.

FL Centro's Main street, noon
hour murder case, with Gusta
Mouzakis fighting for his life
against a charge of the first degree
murder of Miriam Karagouzian, will
come to trial in the Imperial county
superior court Monday morning,
and should last throughout most
of the week.
Judge A. c. Finney, returning
from Los Angeles, will probably
preside over the trial. District At
torney Elmer w. Heald, assisted by
his chief criminal deputy, D. H.
Wolford, will prosecute the charge,
and Kendall B. Perkins and Edgar
B. Hervey will form the ranks of
the defense.
Karagouzian died July 13, after
he was shot through the heart by
Mouzakis at high noon of that day
on Main street, in front of Greek
coffee shop. Arenag Sarkisian,
who also was seriously wounded
during the gun battle, has recovered
from his wounds.
An argument between Mouzakis
and Karagouzian over a year-old
gambling debt was the cause of the
shooting.
All state witnesses are in readi-
ness for the trial. Perkins. as de-
fenSe attorney, has indicated a SUI
prise defense, probably a plea Of
self defense.
Most of the court session Mon
day will probably be taken up with
selection of jury to try the case.

BRITISH MOURN
LIPT0N'S DEATH
AT ACE OF 81
Yachting Expert Became
Well Known Through
Quest For Cup.
BY VIRGIL PINKLEY
United Press Staff COrrespordp


LONDON, Oct. 3. U.P)-Peer and
commoner today mourned the death
of Sir Thomas Upton, veteran
British sportsman who climbed from
depressing poverty to wealth and
international esteem, attempting to
win that bloomin old mug"
Sir Thomas died last night at the
age of 81 when his stout heart fin
ally weakened Without the ad-
vantages of education and financial
backing, Tommy" Upton, as he
liked to be called, started his busi-
ness career as messenger boy AT
the age of II and the salary of
about 30 cents a week.
On rare holidays Tommy Lip
ton sailed small boats on the
Clyde. His often futile efforts
as barefoot boy to make his
small craft sail attracted his
interest to ships that brought
him eventual recognition as the
greatest living yachtsman.
In 1869 Tommy Upton saw the
opportunity for advancement in a
then far away haven, the United
States. With his meagre savings he
travelled to America and got his first
glimpse of the country where he
arrived years later aboard his luxur-
ious steam yacht Erin to prepare
for the arrival of his Shamrock v
to compete for the Americas cup.
Was Not Discouraged
Sir Thomas called the cup that
bloomin' old mug" and was not dis
couraged by his unsuccessful at
tempts to win it. He had plans for
the construction of Shamrock VI
when he died.
Official recognition of his yacht
ing activities came late in his life
in England. He was elected to
membership in the exclusive Royal
Yacht club squadron after he
passed his 8lst birthday.
Young Upton worked as
grocery clerk and was a street
car motorman in New Orleans
when he came to the United
States. He worked on planta-
tions in South Carolina until he
had saved about $500 and then
went back to Scotland to start
a grocery shop in which hung
a huge sign, Work Is Fun"
He formed certain business poll
cies early in life and never deviated
from them. He resolved never to
take a partner, always to decline
loans and never tn sign a. bill
Sir Thomas had very definite
views about drinking.
young men should beware of
strong drink he said. Cork
screws have sunk more people than
cork jackets ever will save. I never
drink anything stronger than LEM
onade and my smoking is confined
to smoking hams and bacons which
bring good returns.

The economic crisis is causing

He blamed the race for arnla-

a means OF eliminating the fire

Firemen will confiscate the PEN

lights will be disconnected until
the proper fuse plugs are installed,
said Fire Chief Tom Reams to-
day.
"Many fires are cassed by fuse
plug substitutes" said the chief"

a "dud," caused deputy sheriffs,
county coroner, special investigator,
official stenographer and one con-
stable to open sirens on their auto
mobiles late yesterday afternoon
and dash madly to a duck club 10
miles northwest of INLAND.
Domestic arguments resulted in
the man in the case carrying out a
time-worn device for discovering
just how the little woman felt to-
ward him. He pinned a suicide note
to the door, shoulder vicious ap-
pearing shotgun and departed for
the great open spaces. Two shots
soon woke the echoes. The little
woman ran for neighbors to tele-
phone police without first making a
