WASHINGTON, July 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt reliably was reported
today to have ordered a survey of
ways of managing the country's
currency to prevent violent fluctua-
tons in purchasing power of the
dollar
The Presidents ultimate goal is to
keep the purchasing power of the
dollar stable after it reached a level
satisfactory to the administration.
Addition of two new professors to
the brain trust" was interpreted by
Well-informed persons as a move in
that direction.
Professor James Harvey Rogers of
Yale and Professor George Fred
erick Warren of Cornell opened Off
ceS in the commerce department to-
day, ostensibly to coordinate eff
forts to balance the budget. Rogers
is an expert on foreign markets and
credits. Warren is an agricultural
economist.
Well Informed persons indicated
the professors would be PIT to work
both on the problem of managing
the currency as well as on budget
affairs

The most influential spokesman in

forcefully to Mr. ROosevelt'S initia-

ARABS LOSE
At BRANLEY

Brawley j. C. completed its sea-
son undefeated when it turned
back the Ell Centro Arabs 10 to o
at Brawley last night before
large crowd.
Ell Centre outplayed Brawley in
the first quarter but the latter
started it's scoring in the second
quarter when Suzuki, Brawley half
back, intercepted a Central pass
and scooted 10 yards for a touch
down.
The third quarter was scoreless
but Brawley registered twice in the
final quarter. Williams intercepted
Central pass on Central's At
yard line and Brawley brought the
ball to Central IS 20 yard line where
another pass, Williams to Thrasher,
brought the second touchdown.
BraWley added the third touch
down by taking the ball on Gen.
trail IS 35 yard line and bringing it
across the line on a series of
plunges, Elmore going over for the
touchdown.
Despite the one-sided score the
game was exciting at all times.
Ehmke, Byrd, Adams, Bogue and
Anderson were the shining lights
for Central, with Thacker Suzuki,
and Williams showing up. we'll for
Brawley.
On two occasions Central got the
ball to the Brawley nine yard line
but was unable to get it over.

. 1t to the Al. Then Hashen, by a pref
ty broken field run, carried it to
the Spartan 18. 1t was a slashing,
squirming, dazzling run and he
nearly got away for a score.
CalexicO Scores
A first down was made on the
Spartan six-yard line and in three
plunges Amador lugged the pig
skin over for touchdown. Hashen's
attempted dropkick for conversion
was blocked and the score stood
7-6 in favor of the Spartans.
Central then received and after
an exchange of puntS took the ball
on an intercepted pass on the Cal
exico 38-yard line. Maiden then tot
ed it to the five yard mark on two
daShing runs and carried it over
after three tries at the line. The
conversion was missed. Score: Spar
tans IS, Bulldogs 6.
This ended the scoring for the
evening. In the last quarter by a
series of well executed passes and
brilliant end runs the Calexicans
carried the ball to the three-yard'
line where the Spartans held and
took the ball on downs. From here
on the Bulldogs tried desperately to
score via the aerial route and a re-
covered Spartan tumble which gave
the visitors the ball near the goal
line.
Again the Bulldogs took to the
air in an attempt to score but this
failed when pass was intercepted
on the Spartan 15-yard line. A Is
yard penalty on the Spartans set
the ball back to the one yard mari,
Elliott punted out of danger and the
CaleXico boys could not get started
again to threaten the Spartan goal
The game was almost free from
penalties, those which were assessed
coming late in the game. Calexico
drew four five yard penalties, two
for offside and two for incompleted
passes while the Spartans were
nicked for IS yards on a holding
charge.
Weiss was the outstanding star for
the Spartans with Maiden follow
ing him closely. These two carried
the brunt of the Spartan offensive
and their dashes through the line
and around the ends resulted in long
gains. They played consistently
throughout. The Spartan line turn
ed in excellent play and deserved
great credit for the valiant stand
they made near their own goal line
when the Bulldogs threatened to
crash through for touchdown.
For CaleXico, Hashen stood out
conspicuously. His direction of the
team was we'll done and his flash
ing end runs gained much ground
for the Bulldogs. Amador Carril-
10 and Andrade in the backfield
with Waggoner and Barron in the
line turned in outstanding perform
anceS.
Just before the opening kickoff
the spectators stood for several
moments in respect to Willis Ward,
Calexico player who was fatally
injured during the last meeting
between these two teams two weeks
ago.

Of EXECUTOR

Removal of Arthur Helm as eX-
ecutor of the Charles E. Davis es-
tate is sought by R. 1. French, dep
uty district attorney, and S. P.
Williams, public administrator in
an action which opened before
Judge r. D. McPherrin in usperior
court yesterday.
The petitioners are endeavoring
to prove that the present executor
is not handling the resources of
tn estate properly, especially that
he has arranged to sell nearly 1000
tons of salt from the evaporated
water of the salt water we'll for so
cents a ton when it is claimed that
it is worth nearly $40 a ton.
The estate in question is that of
the Mullet Island property of the
late Captain Davis. Certain min
ing claims near Paint Springs are

island. He is represented by the
firm of Smith and Perkins.
After taking testimony of several
witnesses yesterday Afternoon, Judge
McPherrin continued the hearing
until next Wednesday.
