of the party.
His campaign will have Its central
headquarters in st. Louis. 1t will
take definite shape within six weeks,
the United Press learned.
Judge Seabury declined today to
discuss publicly ANY topic of po-

candidacy, he said:

FILIPINO GIVES
WORD OF ADVICE
OCOUNTRYMEN

ITO all the Filipinos In Califor-
MIA or Imperial Valley"
So begins Steve Ramos letter TO
his countrymen, written from the
county Jail where Ramos awaits
trial on a charge of possession OF
concealed weapons.
Ramos letter carries a warning
to all Filipinos who are ignorant
of the law and who have firearms
or other weapons, TO turn them over
to the sheriff or chief Of police.
I've learned my lesson Ramos
wrote, when got caught with such
weapon, although it was not mine.
1t came to my possession by help
ing a guy out who was starving and
left the gun as security for 50. I
never realized at the time what
will become of me If I get caught,
but now I am in the coop because
the arresting officer will not be-
lieve my story"
Another paragraph, dealing with
the hardship Of a prisoners lot,
said:
ut is really hard to be cooped
down here in the tank, especially
when you do not know when is your
trial, or your sentence. There
is also a lawyer to be paid, which
they always get their money, head
or tall mean win or lose"
The Filipino laid no blame on Of
ficers for his predicament, but only
On his own ignorance OF the law,
and warned his countrymen TO
avoid falling into his predicament.

IARCH-ENEMY OF TAMMANY HALL
MAY SEEK TO LEAD DEMOCRATS

bic effect upon the progress of the
legislative investigation TO which my
whole energies at this time are di-
rected. I do not care to discuss any
topic of a political nature"
Judge Seabury's statement was
not regarded in political quarters as
q reputation of the movement.
Seabury is a man of commanding
personality and Of known adversion
to the present Tammany leadership.
He was called upon eight months
ago to guide a legislative investiga-
ton into charges of widespread COR
ruption in the municipality Of New
York.
Although it is Judge Seabury's
present attack that has brought him
national consideration and atten-
ton, the situation is neither new
nor strange to him. Twice, despite
opposition from powerful New York
Democrats, he was elected to the
bench, first as justice OF the su-
preme court, again as justice of the
court of appeals, the highest legal
tribunal in the state.
Opposes Smith
In 1928, he formally put himself
in opposition to Alfred E. Smith,
whom he termed "the best repre-
sentative of the worst elements of
the party"
He is So. married and has no
children.
Seabury is an orator but his forte
is cross examination. Behind his
rosy and generally-begnigh count
enance, and behind the suavity Of
his manner and the softness Of his
speech is rapier like, incisive wit.
One of his potent weapons in court
is his appearance of amused toler-
ance for the type Of witness who
founders in vague attempted ex-
plantations.
The defiant Witness, of whom
there have been many in the eight
months of investigation. Seabury
meets with force. He know how and
when to thunder.
Seabury has investigated the New
York police force, the magistrates
courts, racketeering in the public
markets, city contracts, pier leases
and the personal business affairs of
Democratic and Republican city
leaders.

IMPROVED METHOD
OF ROASTING COFFEE
IMPRESSES CRITICS
Controlled Roasting Creates
Definitely Superior Flavor
in Hills Bros. Coffee

Critical people, who search for a
perfect coffee, usually come to their
journeys end when they taste Hills
Bros. Coffeel 1t has q flavor no
other coffee has-a flavor none can
equal This is because of Controlled
Roasting-Hills Bros patented
process. 1t keeps Hills Bros. Coffee
free from the unsatisfactory flavor
results so often secured with ordi-
nary, bulk methods.
AS the accuracy of the hour-glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow ... little at time so the
matchless, unvarying flavor of Hills
Bros. Coffee Is produced by this
patented process that roasts evenly,
continuously q little at q time.
Here's what happens: every
berry is roasted to the right degree.
None is underdone, none is overdone.
As result, Hills Bros. Coffee has
the perfect flavor that never varies!
Drink Hills Bros. today. You'll
delight in its savory flavor. And
that flavor is always the same -
it never varies!
Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in
vacuum cans. Air, which destroys
the flavor of coffee, is removed and
kept out of these cans. Ordinary,
"air-tight" cans won't keep coffee
fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee is
always freshl Order some today.
Ask for it by name, and look for the
Arab trademark on the can.

the end of the holiday season will
definitely show the trend of local
business.
The unemployment situation in
, El Centre is being successfully
handled, Hays states and employ
ment Is being found for local resi-
dents, which fact will help in avoid
ing any local depression. Although
the number of transients coming in
to the valley promises to be greater
than usual, 1t is found that the
greater part of these transients are
single men rather than families and
the drain on the community Is not
nearly as great in caring for men
as it is in caring for destitute fam
lilies.
The colder weather has made
favorable change in the lettuce sit
uation according to Hays, and it Is
now expected that lettuce shipments
will begin about two weeks earlier
than usual, with good grade OF
lettuce. The reduced lettuce acre
age this year also insures a better
price than lettuce brought last year.
The rise from 81 to sl2.50 in the
past two months in hay means
much to Imperial Valley, were 200,-
600 acres are planted to alfalfa, and
insures an increased income for the
alfalfa farmer. The outlook for the
Imperial Valley dairymen is also
encouraging. One creamery reports
only half as much butter in stor-
age this year as at this time last
year and states the outlook for fur
ther rises IN butterfat, which has
already climbed from 25 cents TO
80 cents, is very favorable. All in
all, the chamber of commerce finds
the Imperial Valley farmer facing
increased prices and greater pros
perity than for several months,
which fact will undoubtedly react
on the business houses and create
a volume Of business which will
cause business conditions generally
to show the usual activity which re-
sultst In Imperial Valley from sue
cessful crop prices.

Drivers Uninjured
In Auto Crashes

Drivers went uniniured in two
automobile accidents reported TO
the sheriff's office Saturday after
noon and Sunday. although auto
mobiles involved in the crashes
were considerably damaged.
One accident was on the l0-foot

highway, when a car driven by Jose
Louis Avilla sideswiped another
driven by Gust Panagulias as both
cars were crossing the bridge.
Avilla was driving west and Pana-
guliaS east.
An intersection on the Dogwood
road three miles north of the Holt
vile highway was the scene of an
accident in which a car driven by
Partapa Singh struck one in which

The policy of the Japanese gov

Despite the councils repeated as

that Japan would not consent tc
