SAYS zAvEL
REAL FIGHTER

Keep your eyes on that main
event for Friday night, fans, is the
word that Pete Buzukus, local pro-
moter of the program brought to
The Press office this morning.
Pete let it be understood that this
Fred Zavel who is slated to battle
Reno Fernandez in the local arena,
is welterweight champ of the Pa
cific division of the navy and Is
one leather singing bearcat when
he gets into the ring. He kayoed
Mickey Dobson in the third round
of their scrap in San Diego last
week and the best Fernandez could
do with this same scrapper was to
get the decision over him in a fight
they put on here.
For this reason Pete states that
it ought to be one whale of mix
when these two meet here Friday
night as Zavel will be out to show
the fans that he is much better
than Reno while the latter will try
to prove that he can mix it with
the best of them.
Four other six round bouts are
on the card for Friday night and
the fans are promised plenty of
action and fighting for the evening.

WELCOME TO LEGISLATORS

NOT ALL of Imperial Valley can at
II tend the welcome home" banquet
and reception to be given Senator Ben
Hulse and Assemblyman Sam E. Robin
son scheduled for Friday night, but it is
hoped that as many as possibly can will
do so.
Senator Hulse and Assemblyman Rob-
inson have put in several months of hard,
grueling work at the state capital in be-
half of Imperial Valley legislation, and
on Friday night are to give an account
of their work.
Observers agree that the session of the
legislature just adjourned was one of
the most hectic and arduous in the states
history. In the continual battle that
waged around all legislation, Imperial
Valleys representatives conducted them
selves in a highly creditable manner,
recognition of their ability and attention
to duty bringing the commendation of
the fellow-legislator on several occas-
ions.
Hulse and Robinson will have much of
interest to tell their constituents and
those who can attend should do so.

"Oh, no, thank you,' Buster an

Invite him to what?" asked
the muskrat lady housekeeper.

Where is he?"
Here he comes now," said Nurse
Jane with laugh as she saw Un-

gentleman often did this before he
went out to seek adventures.

Jane, and then she hurried out to
the kitchen to make sure the tea

McLarnin. The champion weighs
ISL at present, but plans to enter
the ring at lac. His challenger,
Smiling Jimmy, probably will weigh
around 142 pounds.
The. two fighters presented vivid
contrasts in their workouts. Cor
bett, a Fresno Italian, who Is left

tier, is slender, white-skinned
chap.
The long unsettled dispute over
the weight of gloves to be used was
to be settled today. Corbett's man.

the interior department, the fore

the rescue of President Wilson, af-

specific. Slattery provided informa-

the lobby of the National Associa-

of other lobbies which were oper-

Slattery is a bachelor. His great
est hobby is deep sea fishing, which
he believes to be more strenuous
than football. He is 46, has stern
face but a genuine Irish wit and
smiles almost continuously when in
conversation.
Coming back into the interior de-

collected great number of Off

ARE you REGISTERED

THURSDAY is the final date on which
voters may register in order to be
eligible to cast their ballots at the spe-
cial election to be held on June 27.
Many voters are unaware that sever
al propositions of considerable import
ance to the state, are to be voted upon at
that time, including repeal of the eigh-
teenth amendment, repeal of the split
system of taxation, S20,000,000 bond
issue to aid the unemployed, legalization
of pari-mutuel betting on horse racing,
exempting private schools from taxation.
providing for reaSSesSment of property
damaged by the recent earthquake, a
S55, 100000 bond issue to aid irrigation
districts, changing the time for bills be-
coming laws after signature by the gov
ernor, giving the legislature power to
regulate salaries of certain county Off
GERS, diversion of a portion of the gaso-
line tax to the general fund and to pay
highway bond interest.
Unless the voter is duly registered by
Thursday, he will be unable to vote on
June 27 Any who are in doubt about
their registration should make inquiry at
once and see that they have qualified to
vote. Many who were once registered
have lost the right of franchise by fall
ing to vote at two successive elections.
Persons who know they will be out of
the valley on June q, need not necessar-
lily lose their vote but can arrange for
an absent voters ballot. Application for
such ballot must be made between June
z and June %.
While there is not single officer to
be chosen at the election, review of the
propositions listed above should convince
any citizen that they are of vital import
ance to him and to the entire state.
Failing to qualify for voting on them is
lax citizenship and an ignoring by the
citizen himself of his constitutional
rights which would cause him to rise in
anger if some other person denied him
the right to cast his ballot

Seek Excuse For New Move
To Cut Pay

New York City (ILNS)-Eastern
railroads are reported asking big
employers in New York state for in
formation on the extent of wage cuts
in recent years. The information is
sought as the basis for demand for
another railroad wage reduction.
A QUESTIONABLE sent out by the
railroads classifies employees into
clerical, skilled mechanical and un-
skilled groups and asks the percent
age of wage cuts made in each group
between January l, 1880, and March
1888 Figures on those whose pay
was cut on a straight percentage ba-
sis and those who were reduced by
other methods are asked. Similar fig
ures are requested on reductions in
working hours.
The railroad labor act provides that
the cost of living and conditions in
other industries may be cited in nego-
tiations for wage revisions. Under
this provision, the railroads are plan
ming to use the data obtained through
the questionnaires.

knows a woman whose husband grew
rich on the market, to say nothing Of
those who didn't lose a penny. She's
the one who has the kind OF mink
