son, with plenty of cantaloupes,
honeydews and honeyballs available
for distribution at the exposition,
Harrigan stated, land they didn't
/ even hesitate about changing the
date, which will give all valley resi-
dents an opportunity to take in the
exposition without interfering with
their business"
Harrigan also brought back with
him drawings and sketches of the
exhibit to be shown jointly by I'M
perial and Coachella valleys, the
Metropolitan Water District and the
Los Angeles Bureau of Light and
Power. These indicate that the
valley will have one of the most
beautiful and outstanding exhibits
in the entire exposition.
A gigantic water tower, 100 feet
high, with water cascading down its
entire length in three drops, will
Surmount the exhibit, entrance to
the main part of the exhibit being
by way of a handsomely decorated
esplanade surrounding a small pond,
/ thence through an entry under the
water tower. The tower, esplanade,
fountains and pond will be beauti-
fully lighted, making a most attrac-
tive appearance by night as we'll as
by day.

The valleys own exhibit will be
placed in the exhibit hall directly
opposite the entry under the tower
and will show various lines of agri-
cultural and industrial activities.
In connection with the exhibit

exposition officials are delighted
with the beauty and educational
phases of the exhibit which they
stated is in harmony with the ex-
POSITIONS main objective of giving
the rest of the world a better

"Clain,i,,g" Husband
Puts Mae On Spot

NEW YORK, May 10. U.P)-
Frank Wallace, vaudeville actor
who claims to be the former hus-
band of Mae West, asserted in su-
preme court today that her insist
ence she is unmarried has:
Caused him untold suffering.
Held him up to the ignominy of
his companions.
Injured his standing in the COM
munity.
Tended to make him appear an
imposter.
Damaged his professional rating.
AS result, Wallace asked
through his attorney for a declar-
atory judgment saying he still is
the lawfully welded husband of the
film star by virtue of a purported
ceremony in Milwaukee in 1911 and
that any divorce is ineffective be-
cause it was obtained by unfair
means. He was recently informed,
he alleged, that Mae had obtained a
divorce '"in some small town in
Long Island in 1915"
He alleged that James Timoney,
the actress manager, had suggest
ed to him in 1915 that "Mae is
going places, you re not, " so he
wanted to give her a divorce. The
actress denies the marriage.

LEGISLATORS
FINALLY GET.
INTO ACTION
Assembly Speeds Up On Bills
As Time For Adjournment Is
Rapidly Nearing
By GEORGE L. HELMER
United Press staff Correspondent


SACRAMENTO, May 10 U.P)-Im-
portant accomplishments were rec
orded on legislative calendars today
as California'S lawmakers neared
the end of the 10th week of their
spring session.
Springing into swift activity on
controversial measures for the first
time this year, the assembly sent to
the senate bills advocating a
moratorium on mortgages, taxes on
oil and gas pipelines, proration OF
agricultural production, and changes
in the method Of determining public
utility rates, and dispatched to the
governor a bill regulating trucking
by placing it under jurisdiction of
the railroad commission.
Final action on these measures
was taken during the most produc-
tive day the lower house has spent
since the session began. The senate,
in day and night meetings, confined
its activities to routine business
clearing the calendar of numerous
bills.
Highlights of the assemblys ac-
compliShmentS during II hours OF
debate was the approval last night
| OF two mortgage moratorium meas
ures, by Assemblymen William
Moseley Jones and Jefferson E
Peyser.
The Jones bill provides that prop
erty owners may petition superior
courts for relief, with the court.
/ empowered to rule that principa
and interest may be paid, depending
upon circumstances, SO long as in
surance and current taxes are han
died. 1t was approved, SO to 10.
SOl0ns Work Late
Peyser's bill proposes flat mora
torium on principal only, SO long as
interest, insurance and current taxes
are paid. 1t was passed at a. M,
after long fight, 43 to &c.
Proposals to tax oil and gas pipe
lines at the rate of $40,000,000 a
biennium in an effort to force major
oil companies 20 make common car
riers of their pipelines were ap-
proved by heavy majorities.
Similarly, the assembly exhibited
little opposition to a bill extending
terms of the California prorate act,
which is designed to regulate agri-
cultural marketing. A lengthy argu-
ment, during which opponents in
sisted the measure would curtail
production and create an artificial
scarcity while thousands of persons
were broke and hungry" was con-
cluded with a vote of At to 19 in
favor of the proposal.
Supporters OF the bill said it
would control distribution and mar
keting, but not production, and only
the consent OF growers who favored
the prorate program.

COODSON WILL
HANDLE MAIL
FOR DISTRICT

BY mutual agreement, E. N. D
Hatch, Charles Bratton, F. H. Nc
Iver and Winnie Barry, litigants for
the irrigation district posts of
treasurer and assesor-collector have
stipulated that all mail addressed
to these offices will be delivered to
w. w. Goodson, secretary of the
board of directors and then redis-
tributed by him.
A copy Of this signed agreement
has been sent to the solicitor of the
post office department in Wash
ington, D. c., for approval and it
is expected that the postal author
tiles will consent to this arrange
ment pending the outcome of the
present court action to determine
the legality of the recent irrigation
district election.
This agreement was ree$hed af-
ter conferences yesterday between
the litigants and F. E. Jarvis, San
Diego, U. S. postal inspector, who
had been detailed here by the post
al department to make thorough
investigation of the situation now
existing at irrigation district head
quarters relative to the reception
of mail by the claimants to the
two offices.

Infantile Paralysis
Scare Discounted

I'm view of rumors circulating
about town. Dr.. Warren F.. Fox,
city health officer stated today, II
wish to advise the public there is
one case of suspected infantile
paralysis under quarantine. AS a
precautionary measure quarantining
of the case was instituted. There
are no other definitely known cases
III the city or county that we have
knowledge of and citizens should
not be unnecessarily alarmed.
I'VE have had reports that par
ents have kept their children out of
school, and from going to the local
plunge and to theatres, etc. This
action seems entirely unnecessary.
If there are any further develop
ments the public will be informed
through the medium of the press" ]"

At O'Clock this morning, the

The reading again is furnished by

Neither was Emmons for that mat

ent-record affairs which put the

are concerned.
This is the sort of yarn we would
like to have run in a series of

DESIRES NOT
ACCEPTABLE
Conference Upholds Continue
ton For Nine Months Instead
OF Two Years
TO ADJOURN DURING JULY
Leaders Agree Time Before
Present NRA Expires Is Too
Short For Overhauling Plan

WASHINGTON, May 10. U.P -
Democratic senator's today decided
TO go ahead with a nine-month ex-
tension of NRA, despite President
Roosevelt's desire for a tWo-year
continuation.
Joseph T. Robinson, majority
leader said the Democrats in a
special conference had agreed that
with only five. weeks to go before
the present act expires, it would
be impractical to undertake a gen.
eral overhauling of NRA at this
time.
The conference also determined
it would be impossible for the SEN
ate to conclude its work before
July l to Is.
The conference was called pri-
marily to consider the Clark NRA
resolution, which is scheduled as
the next business in the senate. II
would extend NRA until April |,
1886, would prevent regulation of
intraState industry and ban price
fixing.
"Some senators expressed them
selves as personally in favor of
amending the resolution in certain
particulars, - Robinson said, "but
all agreed that in view of the linn
tied time between now and June 16,
the date of expiration of NRA, that
it is probably impracticable to do
500
The conference also agreed that
it would be impracticable to at
tempt to incorporate the controver-
sial Black 30-hour work week bill
in the NRA legislation.
"The conference considered the
necessity of speeding up the work
of the senate,o Robinson said.
"There was unanimous concur
renee in the chalrman'S proposal
that all members would cooperate
as far as possible in contributing to
that end.
Majority Gives Support
cat best it is believed that the
senate cannot finish its work prior
to a date between the 1st and 18th
of July.
"TAll senators would like to see
an earlier conclusion, but 1t does
not appear that this is probable. y
Robinson said NRA legislation
was the subject of "specific con-
sideration, and some members
expressed a desire to hold out for
a two-year extension.
"However, he said, ga large
majority took the view that this
would be calculated to prolong de-
bate and that it might endeavor
final action before June 49,
Several senators, he said, believed
the intrastate prohibition might
cause confusion, "but it was de-
cided not to press an amendment
modifying it or striking it from the
resolution
"There was discussion, he said,
"of amending the resolution by in
cooperating the six-hour day bill,
but it was recognized generally
that it is impracticable to deter
mine the issues in that bill in con-
nection with the resolution
Robinson said he informed the
Democrats that unless "rapid prog
ress was made, weekend recesses
would be discontinued Gin the ear
ly future" and daily sessions OF the
senate would be heightened.
There was no discussion OF the

Traffic Officer
Hurt In Accident

Don Nice, a member of the state
highway patrol was badly shaken
and received a scalp laceration and
other bruises when his motorcycle
was struck by a motorist at the in
tersection of Tenth and Imperial in
Calexico at O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon. Nice will be confined to
his home in Calexico for several
days recovering from his injuries.
The accident occurred, according
to information received at the traf-
fic office when a Mexican motor
ist made a U turn at the intersec-
ton and ran into Nice who had
thought the man were merely in
tending to make right hand turn.
The motorcycle was wrecked in the
accident.
Imperial Valley press., 1935-05-10

terday Hewes said further that an
other conference will be held later
to discuss future action by the Cali
fornia groups depending upon the
information received from Wash
ington.
While in Los Angeles, Hewes and
Rose with B. A. Harrigan, county
agricultural commissioner viewed
the exhibit being prepared by the
county board of trade for the San
Diego exposition. 1t was Hewes'
opinion that Imperial Valley will be
well represented by wonderful ex-
hibit. Coachella Valley will join
with the local district in this ex-
hibit which will be the result OF
unified effort on the part OF the two
communities.

Court Disnisses
School Action

In a Judgment signed by Judge
r. D. McPherrin this morning it is
decreed that the Westside school
district and trustees take nothing
by their complaint against the Dix
leland school district and trustees
and that the complaint is hereby
ordered dismissed.
The complaint had been brought
by the plaintiffs asking the court
to determine that a canvass of
votes cast in an election to unite
the two school districts into one
would show that a majority of vot-
erS in the plaintiff district were OPP
posed to the formation of the un-
ion school district.
