$1SO,OOO Is
Given As Cost
OF New Sewer

That new outfall sewer line for
Ell Centro, traversing a new route
and excluding Imperial, would cos
approximately $4,000 and not
100000 was the statement of Phil
knights, city engineer, today.
Through a typographical error, last
nights Press used the figure, $4,000
in connection with the sewer.
One route at first considered by
the engineering department, and
including Imperial, would cost ap-
proximately 100000, the city en-
gineer said, but by routing the sys-
tenn another way the project will
cost $4,000 less.
The Imperial city council, recent
ly approached on the question, in
dicated they cannot at this time
bear the expense of going into the
new project, and expressed the
hope the reduced pressure resulting
in the old 1ne when a new system
for Ell Centre is constructed, will
make it possible for Imperial to
continue using the old system.

MYSTERY Wells
DESERT TRAGEDY
NORTH OF INLAND

A note reported discovered today
on the body found northwest of
inland indicated the man intended
to take his own life, and gave a
name which officers deciphered as
Jack Hivah, Hivak or Hwah.
Using Hivah as the most reas-
enable name from the scrawled
message, it was:
MY name is Jack Hivah. Born
in Norway in 1892. Have no rela-
tions. A carpenter by trade
Mystery today surrounded the
identity of man whose body was
discovered on the desert five miles
northwest of inland yesterday, evi-
IDENTIFY a victim of self destruction,
with numberless gun lying close
by his hand and a bullet wound
piercing his heart.
Numbers had been filed from Il
.38 calibre revolver with which the
man apparently shot himself. The
only other article found nearby OF
on the body by Undersheriff Rod
ney Clarke and Coroner Bert Un-
derWood was q bottle of some Ii
quid, which the sheriff's office was
having analyzed today.
Every pocket was empty, and no
scars or tattoos gave a clue to the
mans identity. Undersheriff Clarke
declared he might have been rail-
road worker.
The body was taken to Thorn
toms undertaking parlors in Braw-
ley. Officers we're to attempt to
take fingerprints today
The body apparently had been on
the desert four or five days. 1t was
that of man from 35 to 40 years
old, and about five feet, eight
inches tall. He was heavy set, with
light brown hair just turning gray,
and partly bald. Dental work show
ed three gold teeth, upper right,
and two gold teeth, upper left
The body was clothed in a good
quality blue serge suit, almost new,
black shoes with high tops and
heavy soles, black socks, light tan
shirt and white rayon silk under
wear with blue border.

Cigarettes Taken
From Warehouse

Making a recent epidemic of
cigarette burglaries and thefts
seem the work of an organized
group, two more burglaries of this
kind were reported to police and
sheriff'S deputies this morning.
The Delta Mercantile company
in Ell Centro was heaviest loser
when the warehouse near the rail-
road tracks was entered and six
bales of cigarettes, valued at $414,
we're stolen. The burglars entered
by prying the front door open with
a crowbar. They cut light wires
in order that lights might not be
turned on.
McCullom's auto camp, on East
Main street, was burglarized and
four cartons of cigarettes stolen.
The burglars also took $3.50 in
pennies.
Charles RosenQuest, police de-
partment fingerprint expert, in
vestigated the Delta Mercantile
burglary, while Don Campbell,
fingerprint expert for the sheriff's
office, investigated the auto court
burglary.

PICKUP SERVICE
OF RAILROADS TO
Be DISCONTINUED

A decision of ar-reaching tn-
portance in the operation of store
door pickup and delivery service
recently instituted by the rail-
roads, has been handed down by
the state railroad commission. The
decision was by a vote Of four to
one, Commissioner Carr dissenting
from the majority opinion.
The opinion was rendered in a
complaint filed against Pacific
Motor Transport company, a sub
sidiary of the Southern Pacific
company and Pacific Electric Rail-
way company, in which it is
charged that the former company
"was organized in October, 1928,
for the purpose of enabling the
latter to drive out of business and
cripple complainants and other
certified carriers by auto truck"
The action was brought by the
Pioneer Express company, Valley
Motor Lines, Inc, United Motor
Transport Lines, Inc, and Califor-
mia Interruban Motor Transporta-
ton association.
The majority opinion of the COM
mission holds that the parent COM
panies, Southern Pacific and Pa
cific Electric, maintain, through the
medium of the transport company
rates for the same or a greater
service which are in many in
stances less than the freight rates
between the same points main
tanned by the parent companies.
Concerns Valley
The order itself commands that
the Southern Pacific company and
the Pacific Electric company shall
within 40 days from date of the
order cease and desist from apply
ing, demanding or collecting for
the transportation of freight be-
tween points on their lines in ex-
cess of those contemporaneously
maintained by the Pacific Motor
Transport company on like traffic
for the same or a greater service
The decision further orders that
the Pacific Motor Transport COM
pany's operations by truck be-
tween Ell Centro and Holtville
Santa Barbara and Montecito, and
Los Angeles and Vernon, shall be
discontinued until the company has
first obtained from the commission
certificate of public convenience
and necessity authorizing such op-
erations, or until the corporation
with whom the Pacific Motor
Transport company has contracted
for such service has obtained such
certificate.

HOOVER STRENGTH
|. PUT AHEAD Of 1928
Women for Him More Than
Ever, Declares Mrs. Ellis
A. YoSt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 26.-Claims
that President Hoover is stronger politi-
cally now than he was four years ago,
when he polled more than 81 ,0000 900
votes, are made by two Republican
leaders.
Mrs Ellis A. Yost, director Of the
women'S division of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, said the women of
the Nation are even more strongly In
favor of President Hoover than they
we're in 1928"
Charles S. Whitman, former New
York Governor, declared:
THE President is far stronger now
than he was four years ago; the odds
are heavily in favor of his reelection.
New York State is practically Ger
tain to go for Hoover and Curtis. Why
shouldn't it? The Democratic party
had a far more popular candidate for
President in 1923 in Al Smith than it
has now In Gov. Roosevelt. And Presi-
dent Hoover carried the State with
out a struggle, even though the Demo-
Gratis won in the State elections.
Il find in my travels that President
Hoover is gaining strength throughout
the country and that he should have
little trouble winning by greater ma
jority than he did four years ago"
Mr.. Yost added:
The multitudes of women who were
with the President four years ago are
still with him Since the re-
nomination of the President. the women
have renewed their activities and are
vigorously organizing IN his support"
