Alleged Reckless Driver to Be Tried in Borough
 Court November !

NauEautck, Oct. 4.-The case of Vernon k. Gustafson accused or reckless driving, was continued in
 borough court today until Novem-
 Der 1 in order that civil action on the case may first be settled. Gus tafson is alleged to have hit Jo- sephine Nistico, young daughter or MT and Mrs Andrew Nistico or Aetna street, while driving on Aetna street on Sept. g.
 Attorney Joseph Talbot rep resented Gustafson. After confer ence with Atty. Talbot, Prosecuting Attorney Martin D. Caine requested a continuance in order that the criminal action might not affect the civil action in any way. Atty. Tal- bot explained that an adjustment had been agreed upon with the lawyer for the child. It amounted to about twice the hospital bill, he said.
 Josephine was a hospital patient for some time after the accident. MT Talbot said the question of eva sion seemed to be the main point at issue on the criminal side. He said there is a doubt as to whether Gustafson struck the child. Chief Adamson had testified about about a scant half of the road was open to traffic at the time because of ex- cavations being made there. A civil action at which things will be ad- justed satisfactorily will be held soon, Atty. Talbot told the court.
 The cases of Mary Dobac and John Prestarik, both of Scott street, were nolled. They had been accused of breach of the peace and their cases continued from Sept. 23, Probation Officer William Nixon recommended the nolle after in- vestigation.

New Plans

=
 An innovation in aeronautics is planned by Captain Edmund B. Cairns of the Cairns Airpiane com- pany. He has constructed a model for 9 new five-passenger plane, which he says will not cost much more than an ordinary auto and which he adds, combines the com forts of an automobile with the speed and needs of an airplane. The ship will be a mid-wing mono plane with a pusher meter of 200 horse power The motor Is placed in the rear of the cabin on top to avoid the smell of gasoline or oil in the body. There are two seats in front and a seat to accommodate three persons in the rear. There are doors on either side as in an auto coach. radio, electric lights, controls, cigar lighter and condi- toned air. The ship will be espec- tally designed to answer demands of women. It will be all-metal and nreproof and will weight about l. zoo pounds. It is to have "bull' nose with three windows on the side to allow fine view to passengers. The model will be wind-tunnelled this week in either New York city or Washington. D. c. Work on it is ex- pected to start soon and 1t is hoped to compete the craft this winter.

To
SUPPORT NEW
MILK PROGRAM

Support to the Imperial Milk In
stitute, and organization which has
been formed with the avowed pur-
pose of striving to make dairy prod
ucts of the valley nationally ia
nous. was voted at meeting Of
the Associated Chambers of Com
merce in Brawley last night.
Walter Macdonald, county milk
inspector, outlined the aims of the
recently organized institute to dele
gates from the different county
chambers. He stated that men,
bership will be opened to all classes
of citizens in the county and also
that the organization will be on a
profit basis with the sole OBJ
ject of promoting the county's
dairy products.
This membership, he said, by
publicity of various kinds, will
strive to increase the output for
valley milk by increasing the de-
mand for the same. He reminded
his hearers that a market was re-
Gently opened in Los Angeles for
milk from this county and stated
that with this as a start there is
no reason why this market cannot
be broadened. The year-round eli
matte conditions here which favor
the dairying industry are also
great factor which would aid this
publicity, he added.
George w. Burnham, member of
congress from this district was a
speaker at the meeting last night.
He outlined legislative acts adopt
ed in the recent session of congress.
A discussion of the part Imperial
county may take in the San Diego

ROW ENTERS
j. {. COURT

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 81. W.R) -

torney General U. S. Webb, District
ATTORNEY Buron Fits and other Of
ficials and prominent Los Angeles

ton action was in conflict with
the Fourteenth amendment of the
federal constitution providing for
proceedings only by due process of
law.

purpose of the state proceedings
was to intimidate voters.
Attached to the federal action
was letter purporting to have

that two young men by those names
were registered at the camp and
had been working there yesterday.
Authorities here asked that a man
from the camp be sent to identity
the remains as those OF Segney

someone would be here for that
purpose possibly this afternoon.

mangled by the train, his body
being dragged along the right OF

was not so badly cut up but he
was dead when the ambulance
arrived on the scene.
1t is thought that the two men
had gone to sleep between the

that they noticed the sleeping men
