of California. Sidney B. Wood Of
New York, Wilmer Allison of Texas
and Johnny Van Ryn of Phila-

The closing sessions of the grand

The final reports of committees
were submitted this morning and
the afternoon sessions given over to
the election of officers and the Sc

ing. The places most prominently
spoken of are Riverside and Pasa-
dena. In addition to the delegation

meeting, number of citizens are
visiting Ell Centre and urging Riv-
erside as the next convention city
Letters from the chamber of COM
merce citing the many attractions
of the city and offering its munich
pal auditorium for meetings were
read. Pasadena is as definitely as
Sertive as to its convention posi-
bilitieS.
F'raternal greetings were ex-
changed between the grand lodge
and grand court and definite
pledges of fealty and loyalty made.
The annual address of Mrs. Sellers,

RESI- ONSE IN
CITY SLOGANS
SAT|SF ACTORY

Response to the request made in
Mondays Press for slogans to boost
Ell Centre at the San Diego Expos
ition, has been much greater than
anticipated, because so many resi-
dents are absent from the city at
this season, and picking out dozen
suitable ones is going to be a diff
cult job.
The slogans will be used by the
Associated Oil company, over the
public address system at the expos
ition, and will give reasons why
tourists should visit Ell Centre
either now or later in the season.
Slogans should be not more than
25 words and if shorter than that
will fill the bill admirably.
Some who sent in slogans eX-
pressed the belief tht they would
not be selected because of faulty
punctuation or grammatical errors
These are minor erorrs which can
be remedied easily, provided the
basic idea of the slogan is salts
factory. Slogans should not boost
one private enterprise against an
other but should be limited to IDEAS
that will assist all and injure none.
They should be addressed to the
Slogan Editor" Imperial Valley
Press, and should be in the office
before the close of business on Sat
urday. Slogans selected will be
printed in next Mondays paper.

loyalty to government, denouncing

tinction of having the strongest

cial feature of the day will be a

Negro spirituals. The Douglas Mite

Gerald Thompson, sex-mad killer
of pretty Mildred Hallmark, gazed
into the eyes of his victims father
as he entered court today, flinched
and lost his composure completely
as selection of jury proceeded.
Thompson walked along the front
row bench on which John Hallmark
sat. 1t was his daughter whom
Thompson killed as he attacked her
in cemetery lane. Thompson ap-
peared to recognize Hallmark, for
when he was seated at the table
of his lawyer he turned his head
back for a quick glance into Hall
marks eyes. The gaze of the two
men met for an instant, and the
young killer hastily turned away.
AS questioning of prospective jur-
ors continued, Thompson plainly
was i'll at ease. He fidgeted nerv-
ously in his seat, pulled at his
mouth and showed great concern
over the appearance of the panel in
the jury box.

Death Since January |
COLLIDE WITH NEWLYWEDS
Mr.. And Mrs. Dick Magill Of
Artesia Run Into Grief During
Return From Yuma Ceremony

- IN A woman believed to be
Yrs. Melvina MengeS, sc,
If Reserve, New Mexico,
was killed in an automo-
IN ~ bile accident on the Yuma
highway, three miles east
of Holtville at $50 o'clock this
morning in a head-on collision be-
tween two automobiles. -Four other
persons are in valley hospitals, one
seriously injured. This de a t h
brings the total of highway traffic
fatalities in the county to rs for
the current year
According to reports made by in
vestigating traffic officers and dep
uties from the coroner's office the
cars figuring in the accident were
driven by Dick Magill, %, of Artes-
ia, Calf, and Nellie Ratliff, 18,
Douglas, Ariz. Magill and his wife,
Mae, 10, were returning from Yuma
where they had just been married.
The other car, driven by Miss Rat
lift, according to the traffic Off
GERS report which information was
obtained from the driver of stage
travelling a short distance behind
the car, was enroute to Arizona.
This car had Swerved to the wrong
: side of the road and Magill had
, pulled to one side to avoid col
lision when the Arizona hound ma
chine swerved back again and ran
head-on into the Magill car.
Injured persons who were tax
en- to the La Solana and county
hospitals for treatment were: Mr..
and Mrs. Magill, cuts and bruises,
not serious; Miss Ratliff, possible
basal skull fracture and fractured
hip; Mrs. Amos Mcdonald, 10, Doug
las, Ariz., owner of the car driven
by Miss Ratliff, bruises and shock.
Identity Confused
The doubt concerning the identi-
ty of the dead woman arose from
the first report that there were
four women riding in the Mcdonald
car. Later this was intensified by
an Elsinore address containing the
name of a Mrs VermaSs of that
city and officers were inclined to
believe that this might be her
name.
A telegram was received from
Mrs Cora Mobley, daughter of
Mrs. Mcdonald, by Sheriff Ware
which stated that Mrs. Menges was
the companion of the other women
in the car and when questioned at
the county hospital, Mrs. McDon-
aid stated that there were but three
in her car and that Mrs. MengeS
was one of them. Another telegram
was received from Robert Raynor,
Elsinore, which stated that he was
leaving there Immediately and
would arrive here this afternoon.
Officers believe that he will be able
to supply them with the desired
information as the women had
been visiting at his home before
returning to Arizona. Miss Rat
lift, still in a Semi-conscious con-
dition at La Solana hospital, was
unable to give officers any infor-
nation concerning the accident.
An inquest was held in Fields
Mortuary, Holtville, at o'clock this
afternoon with Frank Raney, dep
uty coroner, presiding.

CANABA[- GRIP
UPON MEXICAN
POLITICS OVER
Cardenas Strikes Swiftly To
End Long Rule Of Dictator"
In State Of Tabasco
BY JACQUES D,ARMAND

Copyright, 1885, By United Press
MEXICO, July "a. - President
Lazaro Cardenas struck swiftly to-
day to break the 15-year dictator
ial rule Of Tomas Garrido Cana
bal, Mexican Nazi leader, in Tab
aSco state.
Coincidentally he prepared to tell
Gov Rafael Villareal of Tamauli-
pas State-besieged in his palace
at Ciudad Victoria by 5000 angry
peasants and liberalS-to quit or be
fired.
In his joint action in Tabasco,
isolated on the Gulf of Campeche
on the Atlantic coast, and in Tam
aulipas, bordering Texas on the
Gulf of Mexico, Cardenas showed
his confidence III absolute loyalty
Of the army.
1t was his first dramatic use of
the undisputed leadership he won
by defying Gen. Plutarco Elias
Gales, the nations strong man"
and sending Gales into retirement
when he denounced the 40-year-
old presidents policies as too radi-
ical.
Determined that Garrido Cana
balls dictatorship should end, Car
denas suspended the normal powers
of Tabasco state, replaced the gov
ernor, and named a new state mil
itary commandment with orders to
see that in approaching state cleo
lions there was a fair chance fol
all
situation Portentous
The TabaSco situation was por-
tentous for the whole country.
Garrido Canabal is the bitterest
anti-Roman Catholic in Mexico. He
holds no office but for Is years be
has held the state in his personal
grasp. He drove out all political
opponents. He drove out every
Catholic priest and today there is
not Catholic church open in Tab
asco. He is the organizer and lead
er of the Nazi RED Shirts"
Acting from Colima state, on the
Pacific coast west of the capital
Cardenas convoked the permanent
congressional committee which sits
here to provide continuous legisla-
tive action. At his orders the Tab
asco state powers were suspended on
the ground that there was no pro-
vision for fair elections and that
there was no proper guarantee for
individuals. Gov. Manuel Lastra
Ortiz was dismissed on the ground
that he acted not only in his con-
stitutional capacity but under the
orders of a third person-Garrido
Canabal.
