COLLINS ATTENDS
MEETING OF STATE
TEACHERS COUNCIL

c. 3. Collins, county superinten-
dent of schools, returned yesterday
from San Francisco, where he rep
resented the teachers of this coun-
ty at meeting of the state council
of the California Teachers associa-
ton.
The function Of this council is
the consideration of all matters OF
statewide educational interest. 1t
is headed by DR.. j. NJ. GWinn, SUI
perintendent of the San Francisco
city schools
The c. T. A. legislative bill cover
ing teachers retirement was dis
cussed. According to Superinten-
dent Collins, this bill would place
the matter on a sound actuarial basis
and would require contributions OF
4 per cent of the annual salary from
those teachers electing to avail
themselves of this provision.
Permanent teacher tenure was
another item discussed and here the
superintendent stated much differ
ence of opinion exists. The original
bill sponsored by the c. T.. A. would
have released "a elementary and
four high schools of Imperial Coun-
ty from the provisions of tenure. AS
now amended, no district having
less than $50 average daily attend
ance will have tenure, which, in I'm
perial County, would release all ex-
cept the three largest elementary

Jurisdiction OF
Court Attacked

Making an issue of his contention
that a city court which does not
maintain an officer at the county
jail, or pay the county for taking
care of It's prisoners, cannot SEN
tence an offender to a term in the
county jail, Attorney Edward B..
Patterson tomorrow will argue before
Judge A. G. Finney petition for
a writ of habeas corpus to free Rolly
B. Hardwick from custody.
Hardwick was sentenced by Judge
e. E. Kiefer of the CaleXico police
court to 80 days in the county jail
on a charge Of drunkenness. Since
Calexico does not pay the county to
keep its prisoners, Patterson con-
tends that the Calexico court was
out of its jurisdiction in sentencing
Hardwick to the county Jail. His
arguments will be heard at $3.50 to-
morrow morning.
In the petition for a writ Of hab-
cas- corpus it was alleged that the
Calexico desk sergeant refused to
allow Hardwick's attorney to exam
inc the police court records. The
petition also contends that the COM
plant against Hardwick does not
state facts which, If true, would con-
stitute a public offenSe.

PAIR OF LOCAL
YOUTHS ADMIT
MANY CRIMES

At least six robberies in Imperial
Valley during g period Of several
months were cleared up today when
charge Of robbery was lodged
against S. P. Holiday, Jr., 19, and
Richard Miller, 18, well known El
Centro youths who were apprehend-
ed through combined efforts of the
local police department and sher-
ifs office.
Arrested because Chief OF Police
Frank P. McCaslin suspected him of
robbery of the Airport service sta
ton Sunday night, young Holiday
| was turned over by McCaslin to
Tom Sharp, district attorneys in
vestigator, for questioning.
| Later Miller was arrested, also on
suspicion, and held for questioning
For five hours Sharp grilled Holli-
day. Aided by Harold Gillett, dep
uty sheriff, he finally got a confess
sion from the youth. Checking the
confession against Miller's story, de-
tails of the service station robbery
finally came out.
Once the youths had confessed to
the Sunday night robbery, they told
story of holdup after holdup on
valley highways, all done with re-
volvers.
Holiday, who was employed at
the Wakefield service station some
time ago, admitted, said officers,
that a holdup of the service station
he reported at that time was bogus.
The supposed holdup was reported
to the police department. Investi-
eating officers could find no clue
to the identity of the robber. Holli-
day admitted yesterday afternoon
that no holdup was staged, but that
he concealed money from the sta
ton cash drawer in his shoe and
reported he had been robbed.
Reported robbery of the Balboa
hotel some time ago was also clear
ed when the Miller youth admitted
that no holdup had been made. He
took $32 from the hotel, he said,
and reported to the police station
he had been robbed.
Small Loot Obtained
On one occasion, stated the
youths, they held up a man and
woman near Oasis, threatening
them with gun and taking $50.
Two highway robberies between Ell
Centro and Imperial also were their
work, the youths admitted. From
man and two women in one car
they got only So, while only 81 was
taken from another party held up
between Ell Centre and Imperial.
In holding up the Airport service
station Sunday night Holiday got
nothing. He had worked at the
service station once, and knew the
habits of Chester Collins, whom he
held up. Waiting for Collins when
he started home, Holiday threat
ened him with gun, snatched
dinner pail, thinking it contained
money, and ran.
Collins today positively identified
Holiday as the one who had held
him up.
On another occasion, the youths
told Sharp, they planned a robbery
of the Airport service station, but
lost their nerve and drove away.
The gun used in the latest holdur
is in the possession of the district
attoreny's office.
The youths today are being ques-
toned on other holdups in the val
ley. Officers asserted today they
fit the description of two who were
responsible for the worst epidemic
of highway robberies in the history
of the valley, early this year.

lions granted by Federal Judge A. M. j.
Cochran last night.
Judge Cochran also continued in ef-
feet temporary restraining order he
had granted another coal company
pending hearing of further arguments
at Lexington in June on the company's
motion to make the order permanent.
Names More Than 400.
The permanent injunctions were
granted the P. " g. K. Coal Co. and
the Black Mountain Coal Co. Their
petitions named more than 400 defend
ants, but Judge Cochran increased their
scope to provide that any one intiml-
dating, by letter, word or deed" any
miners so as to prevent thsm from
going to work, would be violating the
Federal writ.
Judge Cochran upheld the right of
miners to unionize and solicit and ac-
cept memberships as long as these ac-
tivities were peaceable. He ruled, how
ever, that the operators had right to
require their workers to sign open shop
labor contracts if they desired.
Temporary Writ Continued.
The temporary order continued in
effect pending final hearing had been
granted the Harlan allins Coal Co.
The three temporary writs were issued
to the companies at Richmond last
month. A similar petition for tenn
porary restraining order, filed by the
Premier Coal Co., Harlan County, is on
file in Federal Court here, but not set
