COURT DENIES
MANDANUS IN
ADAMS CASE
Petition To Force Recall Elec-
tion Rejected By Appellate
vision At San Diego.
TIME LIMIT NOT REGARDED
Court Holds Two Applications
For Recall Filed Within Six
Months Not Legal.

Another chapter in the struggle
OF the electors in the Brawley di-
vision of the Imperial Irrigation
District to secure the recall oil
Burleigh Adams as a member OF
the district board of directors, was
written today in an opinion hand
ed down by the district court OF
appeals for the fourth appellate
district.
This opinion denies the plea OF
Charles H. Morrow, as plaintiff
for a preemptory writ of mandate
requiring the respondents, the board
OF directors of the Imperial Irriga-
ton District, to meet and call a
special election for the recall OF
one of its members, Burleigh
Adams.
The opinion was rendered by
Judge Marks and concurred in by
Judge Barnard S. P. Williams
was attorney for the petitioner, and
c. L. Childers with D B. Roberts
for the respondents
After a review of the history of
the case to date, the court bases its
refusal to issue the writ on the
grounds that two recall petitions
against Adams had been circulated
and presented to the board of di-
rectorS within six months of each
other, even though an appeal on
one of these is now pending be-
lore The supreme court of the state
1T is not necessary for us to
consider the objection of the an
SWering directors, the opinion
states, "that this proceeding was
brought prematurely, % days after
the second recall petition was filed
and l3 days after the expiration
of the 10 days during which Nc
Iver should have certified to the
Sufficiency of the second petition.
1t has been stipulated that on June
13. there was meeting of the
hoard of directors at which all
members were present; that Nc
1ver submitted the second petition
with his certificate of it's suffici-
ency; that action upon it was de-
ferred until the regular meeting to
be held on July IL.
"While neither of the petitions
are before us it seems to be con-
Ceded by counsel, for the purpose
of this proceeding, that both were
sufficient in all respects. We will
therefore, assume this to be true
and that. considering the suffici-
cncy of the petitions alone, the Sec
retary should have certified them
and the board of directors should
have called tic recall election.
Quotes State Law
"TThe last sentence of section
28'3 of the California Irrigation
District Act provides as follows: If
the vote at any such recall elec-
ton shall not recall the officer,
no further petition for the recall
of such officer shall be filed before
the expiration of six months from
the date of such first recall elec-
ton AS this section prohibits the
filing of a recall petition for
period of six months after the fail
ure to recall an officer at an cleo
ton, it would seem to us that it
was the intention of the legislature

MONEY WAR
THREATENED
Britain, America, Far East And
Scandinavia Lined Up Against
European Gold Group.
BY HARRY FLORY
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1893, by United Press)
LONDON, July Threat of a
world currency war, in which
North and South America. the Bri-
tish empire, the far east and Scan
dinavia would be aligned against
the European gold standard ma
tions. developed today at the world
economic conference.
A movement was quietly under
way to initiate a gigantic price
raising agreement among the Anglo
Eations along the lines of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's inflationary pro-
gram which brought the conference
to life or death crisis, the United
Press learned.
Success of the movement would
mean, ultimately, establishment of
a bloc embracing the United States,
Great Britain and her dominions,
the Latin American nations, ia
pan, China and the Scandinavian
nations in favor of price raising.
They would leave the gold stand
ard nations, as it was put "to
starve amidst their golden plenty
unless they followed along the in
flation plan and revalued their own
currency.
Pressure from the British domin-
ions, and notably from Canada
whose prime minister, R. B. Ben
nett, stood shoulder to shoulder
with Cordell Hull of the United
States in the fight to prevent ad-
journment of the conference, was
believed today to be pushing Great
Britain into line with the RooSe-
velt policy.
Watch Roosevelt Plan
This pressure has eliminated the
possibility that Great Britain would
align herself with the gold stand
ard nations. She now was await
ing, apparently, practical demon
stration of the success of President
Roosevelt's policy with a view to
possible emulation.
The newspaper The Times.
which usually reflects the official
British view, said editorially today
1T is of the utmost importance to
the world that the policy of Great
Britain and dominionS should be
directed toward the same end which
President Roosevelt is pursuing at
ter his own fashion,
Argentina was in favor of some
sort of initiation policy.
The gravity with which golc
standard nations took the situation
was reflected in the statement by
the gold standard men that their
stout fight for currency stabiliza :

FRUIT P|CKERS
STRIKE ENDED

LOS ANGELES, July Z. W.P-
An "army' of 10000 Mexican
fruit and vegetable workers desert
ed the strike ranks today and re-
turned to work under a temporary
wage agreement negotiated by the
state labor department.
Their two-week strike, marked by
several clashes, was ended when
the Workers Union and the Jap
aneSe Employers Union agreed to
a temporary scale, providing Sl.50
for a nine-hour day and 20 cents
an hour for temporary employment.
The agreement is effective until
August Is. A new pact will be dis
cussed at that time, representa-
tiyes said
The strike was called when work
ers objected to the wage scale
that varied from 9 to Is cents an
hour. Gen. P. Elias Gales. for
mer president of Mexico, interced-
ed in behalf of the workers, de-
claring they were being paid

that the state labor department

good shape as might be desired, is
anticipating an improvement with
the renewed activity in the grain
market. While not a speculative
commodity, such as corn, oats, and
other field crops, hay is influenced
to some extent by the prices paid
for these.
1T is not my intention to create
the impression that valley business
is back to normal, but that there
is decidedly better atmosphere,
cannot be denied.
Imperial Valley like most COM
munitieS, always experiences a lull
in business activity during the sum-
mer months, even in the most pros
porous years. This slowing up is
somewhat more pronounced here
than elsewhere, but it is a natural
condition and causes no alarm.
1T may cause Imperial Valley TO
lag a little behind other sections
in feeling the beneficial effects of
the general recovery program, but
there is every reason TO believe that
when the valley returns to normal
activity in the fall it will be in line
with the rest OF the county in gen.
eral improvement. The full effects
of the recovery may not be felt un-
til late in the year, or possibly the
first of next year, but the swing
is decidedly upward
Fully as important as the no.
ticeable Improvement in business
is the change in the attitude of the
general public. There is a renewed
confidence that the worst of our
troubles are behind us. While it is
recognized that there is long pull
ahead of us before we are back to
normal, the fact that improvement
has started is great encourage
ment and inspires hope that we will
continue to improve steadily"

city attorney of Huntington Park,
Calf, engineered the attempted
kidnapping of his 12-year son
Alfred, Jr., Sheriff Harold Brown
charged today.
Sheriff Brown quoted Richard
Sommers of Los Angeles, held here
in connection with the thWarted
abduction as confessing that Tripell
allegedly plotted with him and Ted
Murrell, also of Los Angeles, to
steal the lad from his mother and
flee with him by airplane.
Murrell. who had registered at a
local hotel as Irving Wharburton
and posed as former University
of Southern California football
player, was reported to have been
arrested yesterday by Los Angeles
authorities.
Arrest of Murrell left one man,
w. A. Wooster, pilot of the plane,
at large. That Murrell and Wooster
returned to California after failing
to kidnap the youth was learned
when an airport manager at Yuma
reported the pair had landed there
to refuel last Tuesday.
Young Alfred was accosted by
Murrell and Sommers at a Pata-
gonia, Ariz., ranch rodeo July 4
and brought to the local airport
where Tommy White, field attend
ant. frightened them away when he
ran to aid the screaming youth.
Sommers was arrested shortly
afterwards. He did not accompany
Murrell and Wooster when they
took off in their large white plane.
The lad S parents, now separated,
we're reported to have had previous
disputes over custody of him and
his sister.

Text: A greater than Solomon Is
here-Luke 1871.
An unbiased study and ~considera-
ton of Jesus will convince Of His
superiority over all others. The world
has had some great and good men.
Many have been real benefactors Of
mankind. Many have exerted great in
fluence on their time and some on all
ages Of the world, since their depart
ure. But none have equalled Jesus,
the "Man of Nazareth"
/. Greater in Wisdom. In this
text He proclaimed Himself greater
than Solomon, strsssing the wisdom
of this eminent character. But one
has but to contrast the two charact-
ers. to realize that in wisdom. Christ
infinitely greater than Solomon.

In this He was evidently greater
than Jonah, as set forth in the chap

N. A. A. C. p, PIONEER IN WORK
HAITIAN FREEDOM, Halls PACT

NEW YORK-Victory in the long
fight for Haitian freedom which it
started in 1920, was seen here this
week by the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colorei People
in the announcement Of the new
agreement between the United States
and the island republic whereby the
United States marines are to be
withdrawn from Haiti fifteen more
months.
It was in 1920 that James Weldon
Johnson, then secretary of the n. A
A. c. P, returned from two months
in Haiti with his startling report Of
the massacre Of more than 5000 nat
ives by United States soldiers and the
complete subjugation Of the free Ne
gro republic BY American financial
interests backed up by American
guns.
The material in this report was
published in a number of magazines
and the late President Harding used
it in some Of his campaign speeches.
The fight for the restoration of Halt
ian sovereignty was on Before long
the charges made by the N. A Al.
@. p, were aired in the United
States senate. Two Investigations
were made and both attempted to
whitewash the u. S. conduct in the
islands, but n report more than sub
stantiated the N. A. A. c.. P. re-
port Of killings by stating that $3.50
natives had been slain by American
soldiers
AS a result of the visit Of Mr..
Johnson to the republic the Haitians
formed the "Union Patriotique,'
which carried on the fight for indie
pendence.
According to the new agreement, in
addition to the withdrawal of the
marines, the number of white Amer
leans employed in Haiti will be
sharply reduced. A white financial
adviser will be retained, however,
who will have complete charge Of
the income from customs.
The N. A A. C. P. announced
this week that it would continue to
work for the restoration of the hand
ling of finances to the Haitian people
as Haiti had never defaulted on a
debt to a foreign country and her
people had proved themselves cap
able of handling their own affairs.
