CRAWFORD CASE
WILL BE HEARD
IN LOCAL COURT

Denial Of motion Tor a change of
venue in the case of D. r. Crawford
against the Presbytery of Los An
geles. was ordered by Judge A. c.
Finney in the superior court yes
terday afternoon, following filing Of
affidayits opposing the motion by
attorneys for Crawford.
An affidavit by Mae Johnston de-
MED it will be inconvenient for her
to come to Imperial county for trial,
and promised to have with her all
records dealing with the American
Bank Building in Los Angeles on
the day set for hearing of the case
Another affidavit, made by Craw-
ford, refuted the defence affidavit
of John A Eby, who wished the
case moved to Los Angeles county
for trial. All important witnesses
can come to this county for the
trial without inconvenience to them
selves, Crawford stated.
Crawford's suit against the coast
religious organization seeks revoca-
ton OF deed made by Crawford
to that body on the grounds the
Presbytery has failed to live up to
the agreement giving Crawford a
life estate in property in Imperial
and Los Angeles counties. Craw-
ford also asked an accounting of
money received from the property.

Traffic Officers
Going To Capital

Speedsters and other laWlessly
inclined motorists today were con-
templating with fiendish JOY the an
nouncement Captain A. F. Oswalt,
Bill Tackett, Louis Mitchell and c..
J. Lee, all of the California High
way Patrol, will be absent from I'M
perial valley starting tomorrow,
when they will leave to attend the
highway patrol conference at Sac
ramento October 20, 81 and %.
The JOY was short lived, however,
when it was learned Lee has been
in Sacramento for some time, and
other officers of the state traffic
force will patrol valley highways as
usual while their fellows are attend
ing the convention.
Business and legislation of inter-
est to traffic officers will form the
chief topics of discussion at this
meeting Fatal ACCIDENTS in vari-
Gus parts of the state, and their
prevention, also will come in for
discussion.

OPPONENTS OF
CANAL PLANNING
CAPITAL FIGHT

Not hot air but atmosphere is ex-
pected to watt certain members OF
the opposition to the All-American
canal contract to Washington, D. c..
in time for department of interior
hearings scheduled for October %.
In keeping with the game of cross
plays and counter moves in which
opposition and support of the con-
tract have engaged during recent
months, comes the rumor that the
opposition will send representatives
to the hearing via airplane to coun-
teract effect of the attendance of
NJ. j. Dowd and Charles L. Childers,
chief engineer and chief counsel re-
spectively.
AS time for the hearing drew
near, both sides lined up and eyed
each other as watchfully as a flock
of antagonistic roosters. each wait
ing for the other to make the first
move.
The board yesterday decided to
send Dowd, Childers and Mark
Rose, each, any or all. to the hear
ings. Engineer and attorney plan
to leave by train tomorrow night
Rose, apparently desiring TO keen
the opposition worried, has not said
definitely whether he will go q not
Hot upon the heels of announce
ment of the prospective departure
of Childers and Dowd. came the ru-
NOR that w. F.. Beal, Don Juan o.
the opposition, had slipped over a
clever one by chartering a myster-
ious plane schedule to depart Mon
day night from a secret landing
field.
Names of passengers aboard the
opposition plane were not furnished
by Dame Rumor probably as q
means of causing more and better
trouble.
At any rate, the card is lined ur
for the semi-finals in Washington
and preparations are underway for
the finals to be run off in Imperia
Valley soon when the contract is pu'
up to voters at a special election.

Future Business
For Mr.. Lemons

Local firemen are to remain on
duty % hours day, arrangements
having been made to work the reg
ulars in shifts. Heretofore it has
been necessary for the men to leave
headquarters to get their meals
but under the new plan they will
cook their meals at the station.
The kitchen, which has not been
used as such for some time, is be-
ing cleaned and stocked in prepar-
alton for the innovation. Meals
will be cooked at the hall for the
first time Monday and indications
are that pancakes will be served
for breakfast. The only cooking
utensil visible today was a pancake
griddle.
Just who will rule culinary activ-
tiles has not been determined.
Boarders will not be taken for some
time, at least not until the fire
eaters become more proficient at
Tipping griddle cakes.

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. U.P)-
Whether Japan will yield to the or
ganized pressure of world opinion or
defy it and pursue an aggressive
course in Manchuria became the
all-important question today.
Welcomed with open arms. Prem
tiss B. Gilbert. American consul at
Geneva. has officially taken his seat
in the League Court as the repre-
sentative of the United States dur
ing consideration of the use of the
Kellogg anti-war pact to
prevent war in the Orient.
The United States, forced by the
senate to remain out of the League,
has now, temporarily through exc
cutive action, joined hands to use
what the United States described
as the tested machinery" of the
League to save peace. 1t is expected
this will result in a prompt public
appeal to Japan and China to ad-
here to their pledge in signing the
Kellogg-Briand pact not to resort to
war to settle disputes.
The chief concern now is whether
Japan will bow to this gesture.
China already has indicated she
wishes to place herself in the
hands of other powers. Japan
strongly prefers to settle the trouble
directly with China.
Japanese Ambassador Debuchi
here has urged his government to
modify her opposition. Other
sources say public opinion in ia
pan is united in resenting the pres
sure of outside powers. Some be-
lieve that eventually Japan will
withdraw from the League because
OF the incident. There are ele-
ments of japanese opinion which
+ believe either annexation of Man
churia or else complete economic
retirement from that huge hinter-
land are the only two possible So
| lutions. The latter course, Japanese
believe, would mean the economic
death of Japan.
AS to the terms on which Japan
and China would settle their con-
troyersy, this government saws
nothing except that it should be
done in a peaceful way.
Many regard the issue as stub
born one arising from the impact
of China's huge population in Man
churia and Japan's already solidly
entrenched economic interests there.
her economic dependence on the re-
sources Of the province and its func-
tions as a strategic outpost of ia
pan in a military sense.

Gulf Highway
To Be Built

Construction of a highway TO
connect the MeXicah and Gulf rail-
way with the gulf began yesterday
when the Mexican government set
so men at work on the project.
Twice weekly mixed trains run
from Mexicah over nine miles Of
Inter-California railway tracks and
from that point branch over Mex!-
cali-Gulf tracks to within approx
mately 80 miles Of the gulf.
The highway now under construc-
ton will permit travellers to reach
the gulf by railway and automo-
bile, providing what is declared 10
be a long-needed convenience.
When the railroad crosses the
Colorado river, skeletons of between
25 and 80 bridge trestles are visi-
BILE, emblems of the wandering and
destructive nature of the stream.
Two hours travel is necessary TO
reach the end Of the present rail-
way from MeXicali.

ADAMS PRAISES
FRENCH AID TN
OUR REVOLUTION

YORKTOWN, Va, Oct. II. (U.R)
If the United States with the
justice of Washington, and France
with the spirit of Admiral De Gras-
Sc can cooperate with mutual sac
rifices for another great cause, a
way will be found to bring safety
contentment and plenty to this
sadly stricken world" Secretary OF
the Navy Charles Francis Adams
declared today.
The secretary, descendant of two
Presidents of the United States
spoke on historic Yorktown battle
field where Washington conquered
the British $50 years ago, the an
niversary Of which is being cele-
brated today.
The revolution would not have
been won, Secretary Adams said
eff France had not brought to our
aid her brave, high spirited fight
ing men and good ships; and
brought also the constant pressure
of ner great sea power, which Eng
land could only face at great cost
Il would not question the glory
that went to the armies of this war
but We must not overlook the
French fleet. We cannot trace and
measure the relative contributions
to land and sea forces to final sue
cess any more than we can measure
the contributions OF Washington's
army and De Grasses fleet to York
town. Each was essential. Neither
should ever be forgotten
Rear Admiral Wat Tyler Culver
ius of the United States Navy re-
viewed The naval history of tn.
American revolution and also paid
tribute to France and to De Grasse
