A|RMA|L WILL.
De CONTINUED

Ell Centro postal officials and
businessmen hailed with satisfaction
the definite announcement that
American Airways will continue to
carry airmail along the southern
route between San Diego and Phoe-
nix, via Imperial county airport.
Decision to continue the service
was obtained by Congressman
George Burnham after repeated
conferences with postal department
heads in Washington, d. @.
The change to a later hour for
the arrival of the plane in Ell Cen.
tro will be an added inducement for
local businessmen to use airmail,
according to G. G. jenkins, local
postmaster. This will permit busi~
nessmen to complete their business
for the days in time for important
letters to be dispatched by airmail.
The closing hour now will be at 7
%. M, two hours later than in effect
prior to the change, jenkins ex-
planned.
Wholehearted response to an ap-
peal for valley residents to Join with
San Diego in campaign to IN
crease airmail poundage, is believed
to have been largely responsible III
the government deciding to con-
tinue the route.

SACRAMENTO, March Is. -
California's lawmakers took ad-
vantage of a well earned rest today
after a weeks legislative toll, cli-
NAKED by senate passage of the r.
ley-Stewart tax bill.
This bill, which proposes the
people be permitted to vote on the
tax plan, was slated for greater op-
position in the lower house. If,
however, assembly approval is Sc
cured, special election would be
called around June l.
The tax plan would revolution
ize California's present system, in
Guiding abandonment of the ira
ditional separation of sources sys-
tenn created % years ago.
A multitude of measures, touch
ing on almost every phase of human
activity, moved by fits and starts
along the rocky legislative road
during the eighth week of the 50th
session.
The economy drive continued
with undiminished speed. The SEN
ate approved bill abolishing the
state bureau of commerce. A SEN
ate committee approved measures
to repeal the teachers tenure, and
passed other bills to approve edu-
cational economies.
Contrasting with economy legis-
lation, was the passage in the as
sembly of the S55, ,000,0 900 irrigation
bond refinancing bond issue and
the $30,000,000 veterans home pur-
chase bond issue by a senate COM
mittee Both measures would go to
the people for a vote If passed.
Want Boxing Czar
Such controversial measures as
regulation of beer sales, beer taxes
and measure creating a boxing
''czar" in California begged down In
assembly committees temporarily.
In fact, constitutionality of beer
sale regulation is questioned.
Other vital measures which fail
! ed, for the time being, to get out
of committee included the ton
mile" tax bill, a measure empow-
ering state regulation of holding
companies and drastic chain
store tax bill providing for license
fees up to $500 per store.
Moratorium" measures contin-
ued to appeal to legislators. One
which would give irrigation districts
power to limit their bond interest
payments got by the senate COM
mittee. Only the upper house and
the governors signature are left be-
fore the bill becomes law.
Another holiday bill would en-
power the state insurance commits
sioner to limit insurance company
payments and Withdrawals by pol
icyholders over so day periods. The
bill went out Of an assembly COM
mittee marked "do pass"

Ross Trial Set
For April Third

After Judge Vaughn NJ Thomp-
son yesterday denied the motion of
j. Edgar Ross to set aside the in
formation charging him with inter-
fering with an officer, Ross plead
ed not guilty to the charge and
heard his trial set for the April 3
calendar.
Ross is free on $500 bond to in
sure his appearance for trial. He
probably will act as his own attor-
ney in presenting a defense.
The criminal action against Ross
was heard yesterday after he had
been fined $50 for contempt of court
in a civil case, in which Judge
Thompson held he was governed by
section of the code dealing with
the practice OF law without Ii
cense. In a criminal action in which
he is the defendant, however, Ross
may represent himself.

the set time, Judge 1. Mayfield this
morning continued until 1,30 Mon
day afternoon the preliminary hear
ing OF evidence against Gavino
Manzino, charged with the murder

WASHINGTON, March 25. U.P)-
Secretary of Stae Hull indicated to-

To clear up what he regarded as

"As to the governments that are
in default or have deferred their
payments on the government

Decision In District Suit Not
Expected To Be Ready Before
Next Week.

Imperial Valley will not know un-
til next week the decision of the
superior court on the validity of the
All-American canal contract.

guments, he will leave FL Centro

Coachella Valley County Water dis
trict, had completed their argu-
mentS against valuation this morn
ing.

Charles Malan, took up the oppos-
ing arguments late this morning
and this afternoon, and was to be
followed by Charles L.. Childers,
chief counsel for the Imperial Irri-
cation district, whose statements
will seek valuation of the contract.
Following the arguments, the case
will be submitted to Judge Wilson,
whose decision may not pe made
for several days. He has before
him a great list of authorities and
lengthy list of figures furnished
by witnesses during trial of the
cause. All these must be taken i'll

George F. Cuthbert, co-ordina-

for the reconstruction Finance
Corporation, today branded as ''po-
litical stunts" two court actions
against him which resulted yester-
day in the attachment of his bank

Cuthbert according to sheriff's

action brought by j. L. Milligan.
Oxnard real estate man, in the
Ventura county superior court for
$10,125, aSsertedly representing one
half of a commission received by
Cuthbert from sale of a portion
of the Lewis ranch to the state as
a hospital site.
Milligan alleged he entered into
an agreement with Cuthbert to
complete the sale.
Joseph Aurrecoecher brought SIM
liar action against Cuthbert on
March 16, asking $3.50. He asserted
that he and John Murphy enter
ed into an agreement with Cuth-
bert whereby each was to receive
one-third of the commission from
sale of the ranch.
Cuthbert said the suits were
groundless and attributed the ac-

Prospects of legal beer in the Uni

Some bars have been selling
small glasses for five cents for sew

eign club which mas been one of
the hold-outS.
Many Tijuana bar owners see the
legalization of light wines and beer
in the United States as death
blow at their businesses and are
making preparations to close up af-
ter April 7.
High taxes and rents, together
with a loss in business will force
many places to close, they believe

the Mexican government lower its
tax as a last attempt to remain in

SCIENTISTS To
SEEKME ETEOR

LOS ANGELES, March 25. U.P)
Searching parties headed by sci
entists invaded New Mexico and
Arizona today in an effort to find
the main body of huge, slow
moving meteor which shed it frag-
ments over three states.
According to two mail pilots who
viewed the spectacle from the air,
the fiery mass entered the earth's
atmosphere somewhere over Okla
homa shortly before 6 a. m. est.
Near the Texas panhandle the
mass exploded, and pieces were
showered as far west as Winslow,
Ariz., some 800 miles from the
point where the meteor was sight
ed.
Following the explosion, a bril-
liant blue glare with a yellowish
rim illuminated the sky for hund-
reds of miles and lasted for 80
minutes.
The meteor must have been OF
an extraordinary nature, according
to DR.. Frederick T. Leonard, head
of the astronomy department of
the University of California at Los
Angeles. He said the fact that the
glare lasted a half hour was the
most remarkable part of the phe-
nomenon, because most meteors are
mere flashes of light.
He advanced a theory that in
stead of one meteor, a whole show
er may have been shooting from
the depths of space. He hoped to
collect fragments for analysis and
study.

You won't be able to figure

to Shaw is that they didn't
think of saying what he had al

don't know if he is for EN- or

Now, when a guy can do all

EXPLANATION
Governor Awaits Reply From
Vandegrift And Toner Upon
Inman Charges.

SACRAMENTO, March 25. UP
Governor Rolph today awaited re-
plies from two of his cabinet men,
bers to charges contained in the
first report of the Inman senatorial
investigation committee.
ROLAND A. Vandegrift, director of
finance, and DR.. j. NJ. Toner, di-
rector of institutions. were asked
late yesterday by the governor To
answer the committees criticisms
and inferential charges.
Meantime, speculation grew apace
over the possible successor to VAN
degrift in event the governor fol-
lows the apparent, but uneXpressed
committee wish that the finance
director be dismissed.
The governor admitted three
names had been advanced for his
consideration as likely material for
the $4,000 job. They were former
Gov. Friend w. Richardson, state
building and loan commissioner:
Ray l.. Riley state controller, and
Edwin M. Dougherty, state corpora
ton commissioner.
Riley, it was believed. would not
consider the post. his sole political
ambition is to retain the office he
has held for so long.
The 37-page Inman report, re-
suit of a proonged senatorial in
curry into the Rolph alministra-
ton, criticized Vandegrift on three
points-the lease he signed for the
state building annex in San Fran
cisco; his bond transactions with
San Francisco firm, and his plir-
chase of property adjacent to the
Ventura state hospital site.
The lease deal was characterized
as unfair and indefensible. Bond
transactions drew a yelled charge
of fraud. And the Ventura Incl
dent revealed, it was charged, an
unbelievable ignorance or defiance
of the rules of conduct"
DR.. Toner was also severely criti-
cized. The committee frankly
voiced its suspicion of relations be-
tween DR.. Toner and Jack Kuhrts,
zeal estate agent, in connection with
the purchase of the state hospital
site at Ventura. The report OBJ
served Kuhrts failed to explain whet
happened to $4,000 of his sale
commission.
| Toner was also called to task for
his asserted political administration
of the Whittier school.

MOONEY GETS
NEW TRIAL ON
EATHCHARGF
Court Grants Hearing In San
Fransisco On Indictment New
er Taken Up.
TRIAL DATE is APRIL 18TH
Country's Most Famous Prison
er Hoping To Aid Pardon Case
By Standing Trial.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25. U.H
Tom Mooney was granted trial
on an old indictment connected
with the 1916 preparedness day
bombing for which he is serving a
life sentence in San quentin prison.
The trial was ordered by Superior
Judge Louis H. Ward after brief
hearing. 1t will be held April 26.
Mooney adherents have demanded
the trial as a final opportunity to
prove his innocence in the crime OF
which he and Warren K. Billings
were convicted
Found guilty on one Indictment
charging murder, Mooney never was
tried on another indictment listing
a similar charge. His supporters
contend that if he is acquitted or
the pending indictment, he will
have an excellent argument to sup
port his demands for pardon.
Granting of the trial was made
over vociferous objections of District
Attorney Matthew Brady, who said
he could not prosecute the case be-
cause he was mot in sympathy"
with the ruling. Judge Ward said
he would ask the attorney general
to name a prosecutor.
Tom Mooney, Americas most ia
nous prisoner, has been fighting
for freedom since he was arrested
in 1916 and charged with participa-
tion in the July % Preparedness
day bombing which killed 10 persons
watching a parade form at Stewart
and Market street.
The bomb killed nine persons out
right, fatally injured tenth and
hurt 40 others.
