SHERMAN Aided
Witness Wanted
In Army Inquiry

WASHINGTON, July 49, U.P) -
The house military affairs commit
tee today brought out testimony
that Joseph Silverman, dealer in
army goods, made payments to
Frank Speicher, tire salesman, for
several months in which Speicher
was sought as a witness in investi-
baton of war department transac-
tions.
Thomas j. Ryan, attorney for Sill
verman, testified that he forwarded
to Speicher six or seven payments
of about $10O each" while justice
department agents were hunting
the salesman.
Justice agents began hunting
Speicher in January, 1884, to appear
before a District of Columbia grand
jury regarding his efforts to in
terest the war department in a
"puncture-proof" tire.
The hunt continued until Sep
tember. Speicher finally testified
before the house military commit
tee, making a similar investigation.
Present committee hearings are
a continuation of efforts to get to
the bottom of charges of irregu-
larities and favoritism in army sales
and purchases.

VALLEYS TOURIST TRAFFIC IN
JUNE SHOWS DECIDED INCREASE

According to compilations made
by the Ell Centro Chamber OF Com
merce, based upon reports released
by A. A. Brock, state director of
agriculture, the month of June eS-
tablished an all-time record in
combined total of cars entering
California through Ft. Yuma and
Blythe gatewayS when 19,50l cars
came to California through these
two ports of entry, this number
exclusive of local cars and stages.
The number in the month of May
was 14,465 vehicles, indicating a
substantial increase of travel dur
ing the last month.
OF these cars 10,606 or 55 per
cent, entered California at Ft. Yu-
ma, and therefore came through Ell
Centro and Imperial Valley. This
is quite an increase as compared
with 7,120 entering in the month OF
May, 1885, and 6,785 vehicles COM
ing through in June of last year.
OF these 10,606 cars 6,709 were
out-of-state cars. In addition to
the above, 1853 stages entered at FIT

During the war John Phillip

given close attention to the devel-
opment of music for the past three
decades, will be combined under
the leadership of Alonzo Leach, ma
tionally famous as a band director,
to form the gigantic band for the

DR.. Carter urges all former
Iowans living in the valley, and
all lovers of good music, to keep
the dates in mind and make an eff
fort to visit the exposition to hear

With the completion of the
Blythe paving, it is stated at FL

quarters, there has been a gradual
increase of traffic moving over
highway U. S. so. 1t has been nee
eSsary for Imperial Valley to do a
larger amount of advertising and
put up a number of signs at STRAIT
egic points on the highways to hold
its own. There exists, it is stated,
coalition between Lordsburg, New
Mexico, Phoenix, Arizona and
Blythe, by which all possible travel
is diverted from highways U. S. 80
and SO and put over highway so
via Blythe and Phoenix. 1t is to
combat the vigorous efforts of these
competitors that the Ell Centre

civic groups have had TO wage con-
slant battle to bring and hold traf-

10 PER CENT
BOOST MADE
At CAPITAL
Board Of Equalization Seeking
Uniform Figure For Property
Assessment In California
MAY DECREASE TAX RATE
Change Will Restore Valuation
Approximately To Amount
Formerly Used

SACRAMENTO, July 10. W.P)-
The state board of equalization to-
day neared its program to create
a uniform so per cent property as
sessment ratio throughout Califor-
MIA. Only six counties were to be
examined today.
Yesterdays action was as fol-
lows:
Santa Barbara county, 43.33 ra-
ito, increased Is per cent; Impe-
rial county, 5096 ratio, increased
10 per cent; FL Dorado county, 46.74
ratio, increased per cent; Placer
county, 5342 ratio, approved with
out change; Kern county, 1884 ra-
ito, increased 35 per cent.
The uniform ratio was sought be-
cause of the return of utility prop
critics to county assessment hollis.
According to the above informa-
ton a 10 per cent increase will
have to be added to all assessments
made by the county assessor for
this year, it was stated at the
court house this morning and will
just about put the valuation back
where it was before the present
valuation lowering was made.
1t was further stated that, the
oretically, this move will lower the
tax rate for the coming period un-
less further appropriations are
made in the county budget by the
board of supervisors. The valuation
had been set down in the neighbor-
hood of As per cent but has now
been raised to the so per cent ra-
ito.
The meeting of the state equali-
zation board was attended yester-
day by Charles Halliday, deputy
district attorney, and Scott Foulds,
secretary of the county farm bu-
reau. In a telegram received at
the court house this morning from
Halliday he says: "We appeared
before the board of equalization to-
day. Imperial county was ordered
to raise each assessment 10 per
cent over Wiest's figures. The board
intended to make this an - IL per
cent raise before our presentation.

MARTIAL LAW
THREAT MADE
IN CAR STRIKE
Mayor Of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
Charges That Strikers Have
Broken Their Pledge

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, July 49,.
U.R)-A threat of martial law hung
over Council Bluffs today following
night of rioting in which two
trolley operators were injured, a
car burned partially and a car barn
damaged.
1t was the first major riot in
Council Bluffs since operators of
the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company walked out April
20.
AS a result of the demonstration
Council Bluffs was without tram
service today. The company Or
dered all lines closed indefinitely.
Mayor Hugh Finerty, called from
a dance when windows were
smashed and power lines and tele-
phone wires cut by milling crowds
at the car barn, showed his way
through the mob attempting to
pacify the strike sympathizers.
The outbreak followed a sym
pathy' meeting at a park here.
More than so men first attacked a
street car, shattered windows and
set it afire.
Fnemen and police dispersed the
rioters and took Maynard John
son, motorman, to a hospital FOR
treatment of bruises suffered when
he was struck by missiles.
Their ranks augmented by other
sympathizers, the rioters then
marched to the car barn where
they methodically began to destroy
the building.
Telephone Service Cut
William Warden, %, was knocked
unconscious when struck on the
head by a brick hurled through a
barn window. An employees au-
tomobile was set afire and another
was demolished by bricks.
Telephone service in that section
of the city was cut off when the
rioters shipped lines.
Mounting bench, Mayor Finerty
told the demonstrators they had
"broken faith" Until the recent
temporary peace had been estab-
lished in Omaha by Governor Coch-
rams entry at the head of the
Nebraska militia, no street cars had
operated in the Iowa city because
of Finerty's refusal to supply police
protection asked by the company.
"You men promised to keep the
peace" Finerty said. "If this thing
continues it will mean just one
thing-martial law BY your ac-
ton tonight you have lost for the
strikers everything they had
gained"

ing bargemen today, were reported
preparing to seek assistance of the
San Francisco labor council in their
walkout.
The council will meet tonight.

PREM|ER OF

REvOLT 7 PLOT
Plans To Restore Monarchy
Defeated Despite Sympathy
Of High Officials
By ANIHONY KEDRAS
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1885, BY United Press
ATHENS, July 19.-Premier Pan
ayoti Tsaldaris moved promptly
today to suppress reported at
tempt to restore King George III
TO the throne of Greece by violence.
The attempt, according to the re-
ports. was planned by George Con-
dyliS, who resigned his post as war
minister today in a sudden cabinet
shift, in combination with the air
force commander, General Reppas
and the naval chief of staff, Ad-
miral EconomoW.
TSaldariS instituted rigorous steps
to protect the republic and untan-
gle the turbulent political situation
following the unexpected cabinet
upheaval when CondyliS and John
Theotokis, minister of agriculture,
handed in their designations.
AS soon as the designations were
announced, President Alexander
zaimis authorized the premier to
reform a cabinet. The premier i'm
mediately convoked a special ses
sion of the national assembly.
Condylis, who was active in
crushing the Venizelos revolt this
spring, has been engaged in tur-
bulent campaign for the restoration
of the former king. A national
plebiscite is to be held on the ques-
ton soon.
Army and navy officers, as soon
as the cabinet development took
place, made a joint request to
TSaldaris to hasten the plebiScite
that the national tension might be
eased
Resign After Dispute
The resignation of the two cab
met members came after a dispute
over the prospective change to a
monarchy. Condylis and Thotokis
demanded ousting of republican
members of the cabinet in the in
terestS of unity before the premier
leaves for a bath resort at Rachen-
hall, Germany, on Sunday.
Tsaldaris refused to comply and
the two monarchist leaders handed
him their designations. A collec-
tive resignation of the cabinet fol-
followed.
The premiers firm attitude was
believed due to confidence that the
rank and file of the army and
navy were backing him despite the
reported revolt of the high military
and naval leaders
In the forthcoming cabinet res
toration, Tsaldaris was expected to
retain its three republican mem
bers-Pericles Rails, minister of
interior; Michael Krcos. minister
of relief; and Stephen Protopada-
kiS, minister of economy.

MORE BILLS
GET APPROVAL
Of GOVERNOR
Repeal OF Irrigation District
Property Qualification Act Is
Among Measures Approved

SACRAMENTO, July 10. U.P)-Ap-
preaching the deadline of midnight
July 20. Gov. Frank F. Merriam
today had approved another series
of 43 bills, the most important of
which dealt with the states law
enforcement agencies.
In addition to a measure grant,
ing 10 secret service men to the at
torney generals office in keeping
with constitutional amendment
passed last November, the governor
approved a bill giving new powers
to officers of the California High
way Patrol.
While the new act provides that
enforcement of motor vehicle laws
still is the principal duty of high
way patrolmen, the members may
act as regular peace officers:
When in not pursuit of any Of
fender or suspected offender.
To make arrests for crimes COM
mitted in their presence or upon
any highway.
When requested to act by any
mayor, chief of police or sheriff.
Signature of this measure repre-
sented a climax to the fight which
continued throughout the legisla-
tive session. Principal opposition
to the proposal granting police
powers to highway patrolmen came
from organized labor which feared
the powers would be used to break
labor strikes.
Another bill of interest to peace
officers provides that forgery shall
be punishable by Imprisonment in
state prison for a term of one to
ii years or in the county Jail for
not more than one year.
Other bills signed by the gover-
nor provided:
! Broad amendments to the state
bank act including repeal of pow
er of the state superintendent OF
banks to fix rates of interest.
Limitation of the advertising Of
building and loan associations to
prohibit any misrepresentation.
Repeal of the property qualifica-
| ton provision relative to elections
of the Imperial County Irrigation
District to permit the district to
take advantage of proposed federal
aid
Limited the speed limit of pneu-
matte trucks with trailerS to 80
miles an hour on state highways.
A bill to repeal the property
qualification act was introduced in
the legislature by Senator Ben
Hulse, of Imperial county, in the
closing days of the session and was
given approval of both houses. Its
approval by the governor will ia
cilitate endorsement through a gen.
eral election, of the districts appli-
cation for a government loan to OBJ
tain funds for the power system in
connection with the All-American
canal.
