Lindbergh May
Change Routing

NEW YORK. June G. W.9)-Col-
onel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh
had under consideration today a
plan to fly by way of Greenland
and Spitzbergen to the Orient, as
an alternative to the projected
trans-Pacific flight to China and
Japan.
Should the colonel decide on this
route instead of the Alaskan and
Aleutian Island route. the flight
would take him across the Atlantic
by airplane for the second time,
much of it in the Arctic regions,
over Europe and Asia and south
ward into China through Mongolia.
Lindbergh said he was consider
ing this route among others, but
declined to discuss it.

Daily Report OF
Stock Markets

LOS ANGELES. June 6. U.P) -
Trading on the Los Angeles stock
and curb exchange today was light
with most issues holding steady to
yesterdays closing prices.
Standard Oil of California led in
volume with 23o0 shares. Rio
Grande sold 1900 shares and Trans
america 900 shares.
NEW YORK, June 6. (U.P)-Pro-
fit taking in the short session on
the stock exchange today brought
prices down fractions to more than
a point in the main list and few
issues lost 4 or 5 points.
Activity was about equal to that
of the last few days with a slight
pickup toward the close.
Steel Common reacted nearly 3
points to below 80 following publi-
cation of estimates the corpora

function of the district. This de-
partment is under chief engineer.
A like public service, the road sys-
tenn, does not operate under a man
ager and thus is hodgepodge. If
added to the district engineering
department, great deal could be
accomplished" Cameron declared.
Civil service for all departments
except the board of supervisors, at
torney and sheriff would do away
with political nervousness. The
work of civil service employees thus
would become their life work. They
would learn it thoroughly and be-
come efficient instead of every cleo
ton putting several new persons in
each department to learn the work
from the beginning.
Offices created by the charter
may be abolished or new ones Gre
ated as needed. This would bring
about the elasticity of government
SO necessary.
Election of Is freeholders qualified
to form a charter would be the first
step.
Taxation has become the main
function of government. The chief
problem is to raise money to carry
on the work Something must be
done to stop the constant growth
of commissions and bureaus. This
money is raised mainly by taxation
on land. Only so per cent of the
population here own land That so
per cent bears the burden of the
other 40 per cent" Cameron ex-
planned
ITO relieve the burden on the
land, sales tax is suggested. The
present gasoline tax is an example.
The purchaser would pay a small
tax on each article bought and thus
distribute the cost of taxation. In
Imperial county we pay a tax of
$3.50 an acre on land not including
the water assessment.
Land values are debating and
we must work out our own saliva
ton as our situation is a unique
one. Whatever the inherent faults
are in our government, we must
work them out ourselves"
Answers Questions
Cameron offered to answer ques-
tions his hearers might wish to ask
and d. 3. Roberts asked If the
charter combining the district and
county would prevent the inclusion
of Coachella valley in the district
Cameron explained that it would
Roberts also asked if the combina-
ton of offices would save the tax
payers money and Cameron said
that such would be the case as all
department would be responsible to
the board of supervisors for the ex-
penditure of money.
w. c. Costello, chairman of the
day. explained that it is estimated
that 100000 would be saved yearly
by the charter form of government
and that 100000 would result from
the sales every year. This sum

LONG MARITAL
BATTLE ENDS IN
DIVORCE COURT

NEW YORK. June 6. U.P)-The
tempestuous marital life which has
taken the James A. Stillmans
through one court after another
over a period of II years, was def
initely at an end today with the
signing Of a final divorce decree and
the marriage of Mrs. Anne Urqu-
hart Stillman to Fowler McCorm-
ick. son of Harold r. Mccormick
Of Chicago and grandson of Johr
D. Rockefeller and Cyrus II. Nc
Cormick.
Mrs. Stillmans divorce and her
marriage to Mccormick. 20 years
her junior, were as surprising and
as unexpected as her recent recon-
ciliation with Stillman after five
years of court litigation, charges
and counter charges of infidelity
which brought to light the most
intimate details of their married
life. At that time Mrs. Stillman
had divorce action pending. but
she dropped this suddenly and
sailed with Stillman on the Olym-
pic on February 6, 1926.
Supreme Court Justice Joseph
Morschauser signed the final di-
vorce decree at New York City. 1t
was filed at the county clerks Off
ice at Poughkeepsie yesterday.

Hoover COnfers
On Navy Slash

ORANGE, Va, June 6. U.P) -
President Hoover, Secretary of the
Navy Adams and group of ad-
mirals settled down in rustic chairs
at the presidential camp on the
Rapidan this afternoon and tried to
figure out how much the naval
budget can be reduced without
weakening the nations first line
of defense.
Secretary Adams flew from
Washington in an autogiro piloted
by Assistant Secretary ingalls,. Ac-
companied by two regular navy
planes, the autogiro dipped over
the presidential lodge in salute and
then found a landing place at the
foot of the mountain eight miles
away.
Mr.. Hoover, who motored up from
Washington, spent the morning
working over the final drafts of the
addresses he will deliver in the next
two weeks at Indianapolis, Spring.

ing" in road building and improve
ment. Each district has its own
machinery, its own inspector, book
keeper, etc. 1t would be possible
for several districts to use the same
machinery and employees but such
is not permitted. This calls for
duplication of expense.
THE county tax collector turns
the taxes over to the county treas
urer. The people could just as
we'll pay their taxes to the treasur-
er and save the collector the trip.
Tradition. however. does not per-
NIT this innovation" Cameron ex-
planned.
The outstanding fault in county
government is the lack of main
administration or head to. which
all offices would be responsible, in
the opinion of the speaker.
When Hiram johnson was COVER
nor of California he instituted the
plan of freeholders forming a char
ter for the joining of the functions
of municipalities and counties.
This plan, said Cameron, could be
applied to Imperial county. San
Bernardino county has the charter
form OF government.
Since Imperial county is in an
isolated position, unrelated to other
counties. and has a peculiar situ-
alton in the existence of the I'M
perial Irrigation district, the prob
lem of adopting a charter would be
entirely unique to this section.
Under a charter form of govern
ment, the county and the district
would be entirely unique to this
section.
Under a charter form of govern
ment, the county and the district
could be combined. There is no
precedence for this as there is not
like situation in the world
Could Combine Offices
In working plan. the county and
district tax collectors, assessors,
purchasing agents and legal depart
ments could be combined with a
great reduction in overhead and
employee costs, he said. That is,
there would be but one tax collec-
tor one head attorney. one asses
sor and one purchasing agent to
handle the affairs of both county
and district.
The Imperial Irrigation district
exists fer the purpose of getting
water to the citizens and the en-
gineering department which has
this in charge works most efficient
ly. thus accomplishing the main

LOS ANGELES, June 6. UP)-
Life Imprisonment was recon-
mended last night by a jury which
found Wilbur L. MoSSberg and
Jacques Samaniego guilty Of the
murder Of Ralph o. Trump, univer-
sity student.
A previous jury failed to agree on
the guilt of the pair, who allegedly
killed Trump on the night of Oct
ober "a, 1923 as he sat with girl
in a parked machine in front of
her home.
Because the two defendants en-
tered a double plea. the jury must

 DISTRICT CONTEST
NOmads SmOthered- -COlO-
 nials Beat Sprague = Braves, St Thomas Won

By the one sided score of 84-11 the North End Y. Jrs. jolted the Nomad Juniors out of the first round games of the North End "" second annual basketball junior tourna- ment.
 The first game was underway at promptly ? o'clock. In an exciting go. the Colonials disposed of Sprague school courtsters 22-14. Mike Canditto playing guard for the Colonials, was high man with 13 points. The score of the game at. the half was 9-8 Sprague.
 Among Those Present
 Holmes. Obernier, Garnier, were the key to fast combination from Pearl street. These Community youngsters tripped up the N. E. Y. Eagles to the tune of 32-18. Fernan- dez and Masone clearly stood out for the losers-both playing hard and clean ball. The most sensational shot of the series was sent by Fernandez from the foul line on the further end of the court clean through the opposite basket.
 Walsh and the Braves travelled rather nip and tuck until the Braves managed to pull away from the school boys. Score 13-7 Braves.
 Frank Conroy's lads from St Thomas displayed a fashy game with J. Joyce, r. Joyce and LaPoint being important cogs in a smooth geared scoring machine. Walsh was subdued by a 23-8 score.
 Team Work Did 1t
 The crushing defeat of the Mo- mads by the N. E. Y. Jrs. show the result of a team travelling at top speed against considerably weak CT team. However nothing can de- tract from the excellent display of team work as was shown by the Juniors. "A combine that clicked to perfection" tells the story. Henry Jacovino garnered 13 baskets, cag- ing 26 points; Salio Martino, his rum ming mate, sunk 20 points with Cap- tain Romeo following close third with Is points. Score at the half was 40-7.
 To-day's games in the second round are the meeting of two Y. teams at D. m.-the N. E.. Y. Juniors and the Braves While at p. m. St. Thomas is stacked against the Community Jrs.
