you will not begrudge the money you
can donate and if you have not visited
the park then you should, and immed-
lately see the committee and do your
bit with a cash or work donation.
One of the items which was brought
up for discussion at the Ladies' Aid
meeting yesterday afternoon was the
possibility of having a few days of
camping at the river for married
women. 1t is expected that the young
boys will have their usual outing, this
time at the river instead of at some
distant lake, and in such event then
a large tent will be secured. When
once such a tent is secured then it
could just as we'll be left a week or
two more and serve the same purpose
for other groups. Some of the ladies'
have talked with members of the park
board about the proposed outing and
find that the board will render all the
assistance necessary. There are of
course many different desires relative
to a camping trip, some want a plan
ned program for the entire day, some
want swimming. others sewing, read
ing, pure recreation, etc., so nothing
definite can be worked out until it is
known how many would want to go
camping, for how many days, etc. In
order to find this out list has been
left with Svend Petersen in the post
office, and all women who are desir-
GUS to go on one or more days camp
ing trip in the new park at Kettle
river are requested to sign such list
on or before August 1.

shall retire from public office and
shall devote myself to an effort to
restore my health and provide for
those dependent on me.
To Continue Interest
Il trust that my friends who have
supported me so Loyalty through the
years will continue to stand toge-
ther for the maintenance of those
ideals Of public service and those
humane standards of government to
which, in spite of the imperfectionS
of performance, I have always en-
deavored to adhere.
ITO the extent to which my
health hereafter may permit, eX-
pect always to take an interest in
public affairs and sucn advice and
assistance as 1 can give shall ever
be at the service of the people"
In that statement Rolph removed
himself from the public life in
which he has been a colorful figure
since the day he came forward to
lead in the rehabilitation of his ma
tive city, San Francisco after its
destructive earthquake and fire in
1906.
The citizens recognized RolphS
services by electing him mayor in
1911. He held the office 10 years.
His sponsorship of civic improve
mentS won him the name Of "Rolph,
the Builder" He won international
attention as the affable, smiling
host of the Pan-Pacific exposition.
After a previous failure, he won the
Republican nomination for COVER
nor four years ago and in Novem-
Der of that year was elected as chief
executive of the state.
His announcement was followed
by the entrance of John Quinn, Los
Angeles supervisor, into the guber-
atorial race. Quinn conferred with
the governor here during the latters
hospital confinement.
-Four candidates already were in
the field. They are Lieut.. Gov
Frank Merriam, state treasurer
Charles johnson, State Senator
Jones of San Jose, and Clara Foltz.
Former Governor C. C. Young and
Raymond Haight are independent
candidates who are registered as Re-
publicans. ROLAND A. Vandegrift,
director of finance in the Rolph ad-
ministration, also is considered a
possible entry.

JUDICIARY IS
DEFENDED BY
JUDGE MARKS

Speaking before members and
friends of the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce at luncheon today
Judge E. j. Marks, associate jus
tice of the district court of appeal
of the fourth appellate district of
California, stated that attacks
which have been made on the ju-
dicial system of the United States
in the past few years, and partic-
ularly in the last year are unfair
in that the bar association is con-
Stantly working toward improve
ments of this system, which was
handed down from England and
necessarily needs notifications to
meet present day needs. Con-
Structive criticism is beneficial, the
speaker stated for what we need
is modernization and not deStruc-
ton.
California, Judge Marks stated,
has made perhaps the greatest
progress of any state in the un-
ion in bringing its judicial system
up to date and additional changes
will be proposed on the election
ballot in November which should
be studied very carefully by the
voters as the purpose of these prop
oSitions is to do away with unnec-
essary technicalitieS in order that
justice can be done.
"This Is a critical time in the
United States today the speaker
stated, "but reforms which are
necessary must come from within
and this is true of judicial reforms
and of social reforms if we are to
carry on what has been handed
down to us by our fathers and in
turn hand to posterity bigger and
nobler life in the future
Leo Hetzel, who was elected vice
president of the Broadway of Am
erica association at the convention
of the Broadway recently held in
Dallas, Texas, stated that all but 80
miles Of the Broadway route are
now paved, the entire route being
5000 miles long and stretching
from Broadway, New York to
Broadway, San Diego. This 80
miles is being improved and by jan
uary l, 1885 the entire MroadWay
route will be paved.
Hetzel stated that the Imperial
Valley group was pleased that their
efforts to retain The Broadway were
effective and that El Centro is to
be the meeting place Of the as
sociation in 1886. He reported that
all the cities in Texas and New
Mexico seemed to be prosperous

jubilant over the outcome. AS the
prisoners heavily manacled, were
led from the courtroom, he alighted
from the witness box and executed
an impromptu jig. Clasping the
hands of neWspapermen and several
Jurors who only few minutes be-
fore had voted the kidnapping indict-
ment, he shouted his joy.
IT'S a great day and a great
country" he cried.
Tonight at p. m. the kidnapers
will be herded aboard northbound
train and transported to San Quen-
tin.
Stirred by public indignation over
the kidnapping, the district attor-
ney's office moved with unprece-
dented speed to bring the kidnap-
ers to trial. District Attorney Buron
Fits yesterday afternoon interrupt
ed the happy reunion of Gettle with
his wife and four children to sum-
mon him before the grand Jury.
While Gettle was telling the
grand Jurors how he was abducted
from his country estate in Arcadia
by two masked men week ago to-
night, and of his five-day imprison-
ment in the kidnapers' lair, Fits
was interviewing the prisoners.

Their request granted, one attor-
ney urged them to plead guilty
Kirk was dissatisfied and summoned
a second lawyer. He too, suggested
they accept the states ultimatum
The conference ended at 7:30 p. m
Within a quarter hour, they stood
before Judge Fricke with offers to
plead their guilt.
Kirk had lost all Of the bravado
that he assumed when first captur-
ed. Then, when confronted by the
accusations of his two companions
he cursed them, as he stood in court,
however, he was dispirited and ner-
vous, frequently mopping his pers-
piring brow with a handkerchief
Williams, the finger man" of the
trio, loosened the collar of his blue
Jail jacket. Kerrigan, who had
guarded Gettle during his imprison-
men, clasped and unclasped his
hands.
The indictment was read.
How do you plead?"
Guilty" each replied.
The prisoners stared down at their
shoes as Gettle was summoned tC
the witness stand and briefly
sketched an account of his misad-
venture. Judge Fricke then passed
sentence and the prisoners were lee
back to their cells.
What do you think about it?"'
queStioner asked.
