'Straighten Out
Auto Accidents

Two automobile accidents that
at first appeared as one today had
been segregated on reports filed in
the sheriff's office, mtangling n
mixture of facts which at first
caused the report of only one ac-
cident.
One report, as revised, told Of
cne accident in which a car driven
by f. o. Waters, special deputy
sheriff, was hit by a car carrying
several Filipinos. No one was hurt.
This was at the west city limits.
Another accident the same day,
Monday, was only few hundred
yards from the scene of the first,
ond in it Null Gonzales, 6, was in
jured.
G. p. Falbaum was driving south
on Imperial avenue when his auto
mobile struck a car driven by May
monde Gonzales, travelling in the
same direction, as Gonzales started
to make q left turn. The child
was not seriously injured. Riding
with Gonzales were Anselma Con-
zales, Null Gonzales and Ramon
Alias, Is months old.

IMPERIAL VALLEY CHORAL SOCIETY
ENDS SEASON WITH FINE CONCERT

Last nights concert sponsored b,
the Imperial Valley Choral society
and held in the Wilson school
proved a delightful climax to tht
years program. Three fine guest
artists were presented and tne
three local choral organizations
the Choral club. the Business
Mems Glee club and the Women's
chorus were heard in ensemble
numbers which were equally en-
joyable.
Gertrude Peterson and Lucy
Lewis, harp duo, opened the pro-
gram with a group of three num-
bers written by early American
composers. The two attractive
young artists were gowned in the
costumes Of the period making an
appropriate picture harmonizing
with the music.
A harp duo is in itself a rather
unusual ensemble and Miss Peter
son and Miss Lewis have de-
veloped its possibilities, making il
at times the medium of greatest
delicacy in tonal effect and again
giving ii symphonic effect. Their
work synchronizes beautifully and
the music is lovely, being par
ticularly well chosen for their in
strument. The use of the two
harps doubles the possibilities for
tonal effect and much of the mu-
sic was arranged especially by the
artists since little is written for
the two harps.
"Washington's March" (Francis
Hopkinson), written by a friend
OF George Washington: "Minuet'
pierre Duport). written by the

in the bridal chorus from The
Rose Maiden a particularly ef-
fective number.
Holter's "Hymnus,' a sweeping.
stirring composition by a modern
Norwegian composer and conduc-
tor; Max Bruch's "Kol Nidrei," an
authentic Jewish melody, quite
dramatic, payed in the synagogue
on Atonement day and in which
the religious feryor of the chant
themes is intensified by the deep
and emotional tones of the cello,
and the contrasting "Serenade
Espagnole." by the Russian COM
poser, GlaZOunoW, a number with
the gaiety and rhythm of Spain,
completed the evenings program.
and were played by Mrs. Rowe
with the harp duo accompaniment
This concert was the most sue
cesSful of the season and was
greeted by a large and enthusiastic
audience. The Choral society is to
be congratulated on the program
presented which was thoroughly
enjoyable.
The Misses Barbara Tondro,
Peggy Whitelaw, Sarah Couch,
Ruth Whitelaw, Kathryn jones,
Elizabeth Meyer, Donalda Cam
eron, Georgiana Sones and Mar
garet Loud acted as usners ana
carried quaint old-fashioned bou-

known of the early American num-

Groups Show Progress
Under Ellis Rhodes tutelage
these groups have progressed
splendidly this year as their work
in these two numbers testified.

lent and the voices blended into a
harmonious ensemble. EStelle
Livingston played the accompani-
ments in her always proficient
manner
Edythe Reilly Rowe. principal
celliSt for the San Diego Symphony
orchestra and well-known concert
artist, was next presented. Mrs.
Rowe is an excellent musician who
not only possesses rare technical
ability but an individual style Her
playing has & rich, true tone which
was emphasized by the harp ac-
compartments the latter making an
ideal background for the beautiful
notes of the cello. The harp ac-
compartments were arranged es-
pecially by Miss Peterson and Miss
Lewis.
Mrs. Rowe's first number was
the well-knoWn "Andante' from
"Orpheus and Euridice" (Von
Gluck), and was followed by two
lovely French dances by Marin
Marais, La Provencale," a sta,eiy,
but gay dance, and "Dondeau,"
slower and more stately than mod
ern rondos. As an encore another
favorite was given, Drink to Me
Only With Thine Eyes"
Following the intermiSsion, Miss
Peterson and Miss Lewis pre-
sented Chinese Fantasy" Harriet
Cady), in which the effect Of a
Chinese gong was produced by

BY HOMER L. ROBERTS
United Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, April 27.-Cal-
ifornia's presidential primary next
Tuesday will play a large part in
the political future of three DEM
ocratic candidates for President of
the United States.
For this reason the campaign
from now until the end of the
week will be particularly bitter.
A defeat in California would be a
death blow to John NJ Garner, and
Alfred E. Smith, and would slow
up the boom for Gov. Franklin D
Roosevelt.
Roosevelt. however, would not
suffer so greatly from defeat in
the golden state as his two oppon-
entS, according to political observ-
ers, for the reason that the New
York governors activities in gath
ering delegates has been national
in scope.
If the final count should show a
Roosevelt victory over Smith in
Pennsylvania, the so-called stop
Roosevelt" movement would be at
an end, his adherentS declared. A
landslide victory in California for
Roosevelt was predicted today by
Justuc s. Wardell of San Francisco
who heads the Roosevelt ticket OF
delegates.
Heartened by their sweeping VIC
tory in Massachusetts,, Smith SYM
pathizerS renewed their speaking
campaign throughout the state, ano
reiterated their demand that War
dell apologize for "gravely misrep-
resenting" Smith by spreading "ar
untrue statement that he woulc
nominate Roosevelt at the Chicago
convention
