Is BOUND OVER
TO u. S. COURT
ARRAIGNED BEFORE COMMITS
SIONER CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT ON FRANKLIN E.
ALBERT

Alberto Acevedo, charged with
assault and battery on the person
of Franklin E. Albert, was given
concluding hearing in court of
United States Commissioner C.
Rodney Gwynn this afternoon,
and bound over to await the ac-
ton OF United States court, I'M
der bond of $500.
Hearing in the case started yes
terday afternoon and after the
testimony OF several witnesses had
been heard the presiding officer
announced a recess for the after
noon and a resumption at 80 p.
M, today.
The first witness was Mr.. AL
bert who was asked a number of
questions relative to the demotion
of Acevedo from the job of truck
driver to that of laborer, all of
which were answered by the wit
ness writing his replies, because
Of his inability to speak on ac-
count OF fractured jaw which is
result OF the encounter.
Following came B. C. Moreno,
project supervisor in the third
WPA zone, who answered a num-
Der of questions anent the de-
motion Of the accused and also as
to the privilege which is accorded
a man who is discharged.
A number of relative matters
were afterward discussed when
Attorney T. S. Caro-, for the de-
Tense, addressed the court and adj
vised that Mr.. Acevedo did not
intend to take the stand at the
hearing. Mr.. Caro- then entered a
plea that the bond in the case be
made nominal, as it was simply a
case of assault.
At the conclusion of the ad-
dress, Commissioner Gwynn an
nounced the bond as stated in the
first paragraph.

BUSINESS

Government experts look for a
renewal of the business upswing
in a few months unless the out
break of war, with the applica-
ton of the Neutrality Act, upsets
our foreign trade. They seem to
agree that prices in this country
have moved upward ahead of
purchasing power and that the
stock market is unduly influenced
by the threat of war in Europe
and the unexpected slack in buy
ing in the United States.

says that he has been given a free

PIRACY. 1855

It may be interesting to recall
that in 1878 the United States
proposed a joint naval offensive
against piracy in the Mediterran-
can. Tae nations were accustom-
ed TO paying ransom to Algerian
pirates for the safe passage of
their ships. Finally. in 1915,
Stephen Decatur broke the pirate
powers by defeating the Algerian
fleet off Gibraltar.

is THE CLIMATE
HERE CH4NGING2

We here pose a question We are not
qualified to answer. Is Imperial Valleys
climate changing? If this summer is
TO set an example for future summers.
the answer is decidedly in the affirma-
i've. Only the future or a demi-god in
the shape of weather bureau man can
give US the answer.
certain 1t Is that, with the exception
OF a lew old-time days, this summer
has been more in the nature of what
we usually consider fall weather. If we
could depend on more summers like it.
our chambers of commerce could imme-
dlately embark on a publicity campaign
advertising ours as year round climate
There are several reasons why the
question about climatic change is not
as FOOLISH as 1t might appear at first
blush. The first and greatest reason,
naturally, IN the irrigation of lands with
greater abundance of water. Then
there is the regulated, steady flow OF
the Colorado river, which until last year
practically dried up during the long
summer months.
On the other hand, the abundant rains
of last winter in the mountains between
the valley and San Diego might have
something to do with our cool summer,
indicating merely a seasonal change.
We know, however, that it is hotter
on the unirrigated uncultivated desert
than it is in the irrigated sections. Any
one who has driven across the desert
from the mountains or from Yuma, and
then suddenly entered the area of irriga-
ton, has noticed it,
When the East Mesa lands are brought
under cultivation, perhaps there will be
more room to argue the point Until
then, someone with greater knowledge
than ours must answer the question, "Is
our climate changing"
We only know that, if it is not, at least
We are grateful for one cool summer.

it is said, took him and his charges

The formation of the society is
the outgroWth of a suggestion made
by Robert Sibley, executive man
ager of the California Alumni as
sociation, who in 1888 began or
ganizing cooperative surveying and
exploring parties to explore the
northern Navajo country in Ari-
zona and Utah, one of the least
known regions in the United States.
A party of sixty men is scheduled
this year to form the fifth consecu-
tive party to visit the region under
the general direction of Hall. They
will carry on toward completion a
