before the city council at their reg
ular meeting last night concerning
the three projects which the city
adopted during a recent session for

ferred to the extension of State

der consideration for some years
past. They were assured that such
was not the case.
First in preference. they were
told, came the outfall sewer sys-
tenn, then the extension of State
street and finally the paving of
Adams street. This is in line with
the report The Press has carried
on the matter since the subject was
first brought up before the council
for consideration.
Harold Tyler, president of the
chamber of commerce, urged that
the State street extension should
be pushed to completion, if posi-

/ in position at present to do any
thing in this matter and that later
on 1t might be considered.

Governor Asks Overwhelming
Support For Reputation Of
18th Amendment At Polls.

SACRAMENTO, June %. U.P)-
Three high state officials-G Cover
nor Rolph, r. G. Brandon, state
emergency relief administrator, and
Fred Stewart, member of the board
of equalization-today urged pas
sage of their pet proposals at the
June 81 special election, prohibit
ton repeal, unemployment relief
and tax revisions.
Governor Rolph asked for one
sided wet vote Tuesday SO that "de-
preston can be administered an
overwhelming wallop in Califor-
mia. -
The governor said wine and al
lied industries in California brought
an annual income of SIS, 10000 in
pre- prohibition days. Since pro-
hibition, an investment of $3.50, O00,-
600 has been more or less tied up
and unproductive.
Beneficial economic effects of
beer were cited by the governor as
IN indication of how business would
be stimulated. The government, he
said, would collect 81 900 100000 in
additional taxes while states would
take In almost as much.
California must join the pro-
cession of repeating states,' the
governor said. cat the November
election the people of this state by
the tremendous majority of 801 900
repealed the Wright act.
"By majority equally as great,
the people should vote for the re-
peal of the 18th amendment.

Brandon said. Passage of the 500

Moreover, Brandon emphasized, if
California doesn't raise money for
its own relief problems it cannot
expect any help from the federal
government.

plan.
Since the separation of sources

Stewart said, utilities have escap-
ed paying approximately $152, 00O,-

CARRY MARKET
SERVICE FIGHT
To ROOSEVELT

All persons directly interested in
the continuation of the federal
state market news service are urged
to send kilograms to President Roo
sevelt in a letter received by the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce to-
day from c. B. Moore, managing
secretary of the Western Growers
Protective association.
Moore's letter reads as follows:
After two days continual con-
tact with Washington regarding the
market news service feel that only
through presidential intervention
can this service be saved. In view
of this I am urging that your cham
Der and all interested parties In
that district send individual tele-
grams to President Roosevelt re-
questing the continuance Of the
market news service"
The local chamber had already
sent kilograms to the senators and
congressman In Washington, as
well as to Phil Swing, asking for
their aid in preventing the discon-
tinuance of the market news SER
vice. Today kilograms have gone
from the chamber and from inter-
ested directors of that organization
to President Roosevelt urging that
the order to discontinue the FEEDER
al-State market news service be
rescinded and pointing out the ne
cessity of such a service to a state
in which agriculture plays such an
important part as it does in Cali
fornia.
w. A. Scheniman, chamber of
commerce director, stated today
that all the business men of the
community should also send tele-
grams to the President urging con-
tinuance of the market news SER
vice. This service is of importance
to every resident of Imperial VAL
ley" Scheniman stated.
Fred r. Bright, of this city presi-
dent of the Western Growers Pro-
tective association, and local ship
per, states that growers, shippers
and civic and commercial organize
lions of Imperial Valley have made
a concerted effort to have the mar
ket news service continued, and he
agrees with Moore, that the only
action which can be effective now,
is that which President Roosevelt
can take.

HITLER FACES
NEW CRISIS

BERLIN, June %. (u.P)-Chan-
cellor Adolf Hitler faced his first
formidable opposition in his "har-
monization" of the Fatherland to-
day.
DR.. Alfred Hugenperg, leader of
the powerful Nationalist party and
influential industrialist, was almost
certain to resign as minister OF
commerce and agriculture in Hitler's
cabinet and to protest dissolution
of the Nationalist fighting
squads" to President Paul Won Hin
denburg, circles close to the gov
eminent believed.
President Hindenburg, although
he cooperated fully in the Nazifica-
ton of Germany, has the power to
dissolve any cabinet at any time
and enforce his commands. with
the might of the army. Such pos
sibility was believed unlikely, how
ever.
Hindenburg was away from Ber-
lin and will not return for several
days.
Hugenberg's resignation would
force Hitler to recall the reichstag
to extend the terms of the authori-
cation by which cabinet DEGREES
have replaced legislative functions
in ruling Germany. Hitler's au-
thorization is for a cabinet Of the
present composition"
Hugenberg conferred until late
last night with Hitler. He pro-
tested vigorously against the order
dissolving his green shirted fight
ing squads, an organization similar
to the Nazi storm troops.

NEW YORK, June %. DIP
Charles E. Mitchell was found not
guilty today on both counts OF an
indictment charging violation OF
the income tax laws.
The acquittal OF the former
chairman of the mammoth Nation-
al City Bank and its affiliates APP
peared to make safe from prosecu-
ton scores of boom year Million
aires who, on advice of income tax
experts and lawyers, followed pro-
cedure similar to Mitchell IS in writ
ing off capital losses to balance in
come and thus avoid payment Of
heavy taxes.
The jury returned its verdict at
lis p m. It had received the case
at 1927 p. m. yesterday and had
deliberated for 10 hours last night
before being locked up without
reaching an agreement. Delibera-
tons were resumed today at 8 q. m.
The verdict of acquittal meant
that the jury, under the charge Of
Federal Judge Henry w. Goddard,
decided Mitchell acted with no in
tent to defraud when he sold Ma
tional City Bank shares to Mrs.
Mitchell in 1929, and later bought
them back; when he failed to list
a $666,6 payment from the Ma
tional City banks MANAGEMENT
fund as income; and when he sold
Anaconda copper stock to w. D.
Thornton, copper magnate, and la
ter bought it back.
The verdict came with startling
suddenness after the jury had been
considering the case approximate
ly Is hours.
Three times the jury asked for
new instructions and fourth time
received a written note from the
judge regarding instructions.
Then Judge Goddard declared q
recess from shortly after noon UNI
til 2:l5 p. m. The jury had filed
back into its room, but Immediate
ly sent word that 1t had reached o
verdict ~

The court room was almost emp
ty. Judge Goddard had his hat on
and was leaving, but he Immediate
ly notified Max D. Steuer, counsel
for Mitchell, and ordered the de-
PENDANT to remain in the court
room. A few friends stood at Nit
chell's side. A group of reporters
sat nearby, but the crowds which
had waited for days for the out
come of the trial had left the room.
Then the jury filed back into the
room and announced it's verdict.
Mitchell, bronzed. firm jawed and
grave, listened intently to the words
of the foreman. A smile Of happi-
ness crossed his face when the YER
dict was read and he held jubilant
court with his friends in the room
which, for six weeks, he had been
on trial.
The tension with which the gray
haired ex-banker watched the IL
men who had discussed his case
for more than "a hours, turned to
the widest Joy.
