Ell Centric, California.
Dear Sirs:
My sister, Mrs. c. 8. Conner, her
husband and son, Randall, as you
know, were in an auto accident at
Live Oaks Springs Sunday night. I
just received telephone call from
Ell Centro saying there wer various
reports out about their condition.
These are the facts. DR.. C. s..
Conner suffered a fracture of the
skull, cuts and bruises about the
face and body, and possible inter
nal injuries. Competent emergency
treatment was given by DR.. Witon-
sky, resident physician at Jacum-
ba.
They were removed to the Mercy
hopital, San Diego, for x-ray and
further examination. DR.. Conner is
resting easily with normal blood
pressSre, pulse and temperature,
and if no complications set in he
will be out of danger soon. From
appearances it seemed he suffered
the loss of an eye.. but the exam
lining physician pronounced them
both o. k.
Mrs. Conner suffered a broken
knee cap and body cuts and bruises
and is doing fine.
Randall, who was convalescing
from broken leg in an accident
at the Imperial County Fair last
winter, had the same leg broken in
another place. This has been reset
and put in cast and he is out of
all danger.
We wish to thank the many
friends at El Centre, Live Oaks
Springs and Jacurnba for their kind
assistance and best wishes.

SECRET SERVICE
 COMING HERE
Counterfeit Money Said to Be Causing Much
 Trouble in Stores
POLICE GET COMPLAINTS

No formal complaint has been made to the local police, but the ''tip off'' has been given that secret service agents are coming to Wa terbury on a peculiar instance of counterfeit money being circulated.
 The story which is being dis cussed in police circles has 1t that the manager of local department store on checking up on one of the clerks receipts discovered a coun- terfeit $1 bill and immediately recognized it as such.
 When the clerk received her pay at the close of the week the counterfeit bill was, in her en- velope. She attempted to pass it and the whole story came out.
 Captain William P. Keegan, chief inspector of the bureau. heard of the incident, but has yet to be in- formed as to the visit of the secret service men. The manager is likely to fact a number of em- barrassing questions for failing to report the counterfeit to the po- lice.

SENATOR MAKES CHARGES ABOUT
 CRUISER BIDS

Washington, Aug 2- (UP)- Chairman Trammell of the senate naval affairs committee charged to-day that shipbuilding compan- ies had pre-arranged their recent bids on three new cruisers and knew in advance which ones would submit the low offers. He asked that all the bidse be rejected.
 The Florida senator, in letters to President Roosevelt and Secre- tary of Navy Swanson, called at- tention at the same time to the statement of Gulf Industries, Inc, a concern in his home state, that 1t could save the navy millions of dollars on the cruisers. The com- pany made this declaration in a letter to Swanson after the cruiser bids were opened on July 26.
 In the bids received at that time Bethlehem Shipbuilding corpora ton made the low offer for con- struction of a heavy cruiser and the New York Shipbuilding Co was low on two light cruisers. The other bidders were Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock com- pany and United Dry Docks, Inc. Trammell said he had been inc formed that 'it was known in ad- ] vance which of the four concerns bidding on the cruisers would be low on each of the several items and 1t appears to have been known in advance that the position of each of the said shipbuilders { would be protected by bids sub- mitted by the remaining shipuild- CTS.
 The senator also said he was unable to justify in his own mind the increase in the last six months in bids for identical work. He said the Bethlehem corporations recent low bid of $11,720,000 on a heavy cruiser was $3,524.000 high CT than a bid it submitted on the same cruiser last December.
