OUTLAWS END
EASES TUCSON

TUCSON, Ariz., July "a. U.P) -
"Hick cops" and citizens alike re-
joiced today over the word of John
Dillingers death in Chicago.
Crowds collected in the streets
and newspaper offices were be-
sieged with calls as news Of the
outlaws death spread over the
city.
The sheriffs office and police
department received the news joy
fully. For weeks local officers have
been under the strain of a constant
vigil. They feared that Dillinger
might daringly carry out his pledge
to return and get the men who
seized him and three other men,
bers of his gang last January "a.
Arizona officers had been tip
ped" a short time ago that the
desperate was heading in this di-
rection with vengeance in his
heart The tip proved to be erron-
eous, but a close vigil was main
tanned.

NAVY PLANES
SEEK YACHTS

HONOLULU, T. H., July %. (U.H
Naval Seaplanes were to resume
their search today for the two
yachts still missing in the Los
Angeles Honolulu race.
Although race officials said they
felt no alarm over the failure of
the Quequeg and the Scaramouche
to reach port, they planned an in
tensified search.
Two more yachts arrived last
night Iney were the Commonsense
and the Naitamba. Both were long
overdue in the race which started
from Los Angeles harbor July 4
and which was won by the Man
uiwa, entered by Commodore Har-
old CT. Dillingham; of the Pearl
Harbor Yacht club, Honolulu.
Another late arrival was the Viva
which reached here yesterday af-
ternoon. Previously it had been
sighted 60 miles from shore by a
United Press correspondent riding
in a naval plane. The planes scout
ed the sea for 100 miles in all
directions without finding traces Of
the other boats.

CHAMBER URGES GOVERNMENT TO
SPEED UP CANAL CONSTRUCTION

been asked to impress upon gov
ernment officials the great need
for this construction work to fin
iSh the canal to insure delivery Of
water to Imperial Valley and to
provide employment for Imperial
Valley laborers.
Directors of the chamber of COM
merce were encouraged, Tyler states,
when it was announced last night
that some of the new Griffith
equipment passed though the city
moving eastward at about midnight
Huge dump trucks with eight foot
chassis which moved through the
city indicated that actual construc-
ton work is about to begin. 1t
has also been aScertained that Ma
jor Crawford, who will have much
to do with the management of the
Callahan operations on canal work
is expected momentarily at Yuma,
where the company will establish
it's western office. A large amount
of mail awaits Crawford whose ar
rival is expected at any time, the
chamber directors are informed.
Tyler states that chamber direc-
tors are watching closely the rep
resentatives of contractors who will
have charge of the first sectors of
canal work and are urging that I'M
perial Valleys unemployed persons
be considered in this work in order
that the labor situation here may
be relieved this fall and winter.

WRIGHT OPENS
HEADQUARTERS

Henry W. Wright, candidate for
state board Of equalization, who
has served y years as supervisor
Of Los Angeles county following
four terms as state assemblyman
and speaker Of the assembly, has
opened general headquarters in the
Washington Building, Third and
Spring streets, Los Angeles, from
which to direct the activities Of
a large volunteer organization
which will do intensive work in
all Of the eight counties Of the
southern district to further the
Wright candidacy, it was announc-
ed today.
Already very encouraging reports
are being received which seem to
indicate that Wright is the lead
ing candidate because the voters
of Southern California are ex-
pressing approval Of his past rec
ord as public official and his
present platform which calls at
tention to the fac. that the great
western center Of population, which
Wright will rep~-sent on the board
of equalization, needs a man Of
wide experience and business acu-
men in order that the southern
part Of the state receive its just
rights, his supporters state.
It is being freely predicted by
his friends that Wright will re-
ceive the Republican nomination
by a wide margin.

BANK REPORT
SHOWS GAIN
IN BUSINESS

Despite factors adverse to in
dustry on the Pacific Coast dur
ing the last two months far west
ern business not only held its own
but even gained slightly during
the month of June, the Bank of
Americas index shows.
The preliminary index figure for
June stood at 65, which was three
tenths of a point ahead of May and
an increase of 7.6 per cent over
June 1888 A decline in June busi-
ness as compared with May of this
year was generally anticipated.
The index, which is based upon
carloadings, electric power produc-
ton and bank debts. is now almost
81 per cent above the depression
low of March, 1888 The Slight
gain of June over May is ex-
plicable in part by the influence
of heavier carloadings brought
about by the tying up of three
coast waterfronts.
Carloadings in California, Ne
vada. New Mexico and Arizona
during June gained about "a per-
cent over the corresponding month
year ago, and for the first six
months of this year, the gain was
80 per cent on the basis of the
1888 comparison. Out of "a major
industries reporting, 10 forecast
an increase in their freight car
requirements for the third quarter
of 1884 over 1898.
June was the sixth consecutive
month of 1884 in which retail sales
of the twelfth federal reserve dis
trict have shown an increase over
the corresponding period of 1888.
Eighty-five department stores in
this area reported their sales last
month to be 1.2 per cent higher
than a year ago.
About 24.8 per cent more employ
ees were on California industrial
payrolls during June than in the
same month a year ago. Total
amount of weekly payrolls was
24.6 per cent higher than in June
of 1893.
Building activity in eight far
western cities fell below 1888 lev
els during the first half of this
year but business activities as re-
Elected by bank debts in 81 cities
last month gained 10 per cent over
June of last year. -. -..
The general level Of prices re-
ceiyed by farmers in California for
"a basic products during June was
93.8 per cent of the July 1910
June 1915 level, the highest point
since December 1890.

LOCAL ELkS
FALL DOWN
On c. {. R.

Heaven help the local Elks if
Michael F. Shannon hears of this.
Last week Michael F., of Los An
geles, was elected grand exalted
ruler of the Elks and in accepting
the office he delivered an address
which was gem of patriotism and
loyalty to American ideals.
He offered the entire Elks mem
bership front line" against the
attempts of Communists and other
agitators to gain a foothold in this
nation.
Founded on loyalty to the flag,
the Elks order is unquestionable m
its patriotism, but El Centro lodge
No. 1925 has some explaining to do.
This morning we looked over at
the Elks flag as is our frequent
habit. We may as well confess it
is not always prompted by patriot
ism for though the flag makes a
beautiful sight against the back
ground of a blue sky, it is also an
excellent weather vane. Maybe pa
triotism should force us to restrain
from using it as such. but when the
flag is flapping in the breeze we
have hopes of a cool day. If it
droops We know we are in for it.
AS we said above, We looked this
morning and were thunder struck.
There was the flag of our country
flying upside down over the citadel
of patriotism. Flying the colors
upside down is permissible only aS
distress signal.
The lodge rooms were called to
ascertain what the distress was, but
no answer. Then began long Sc
ries of telephone calls to get an
Elk. Finally Mark Washburn was
located and informed of the ter
rible state of affairs.
For heavens sake don't say any,
thing about it," he pleaded. Folks
will think we are in mourning for
Dillinger, maybe"
He was reminded of the stirring
talk by Michael F. Shannon last
week and was told that the world
at least the El Centro portion of
it-would have to be told. 1t was
q little too good to keep secret. In
Jig time (almosD the colors were
righted. and the world resumed its
normal course. But if we know
our Elks we1l bet whoever has
char4e of raising and lowering the
flag bn the home of No. 1925, had
his ears burned and won't do i
again.
