WORKING TO CLOSE BREAK
IN COLORADO RIVER BANK.

Imperial, Cal, Dec q. Responding TO
the call made by President Roosevelt on
h. II. Hartman yesterday to proceed to
make a closure in the break in the bank
OF the Colorado river orders 10 that Ell
feet were received here last night by
General Manager Cory. Not a moment 8
time was lest. Every preparation had been
made In anticipation OF the order. The en-
cheering program has been worked
out and the equipment In the form OF pile
drivers, piles, steam shoyeis, gravel trains
and locomotives were being held IN readi-
ness. Many cars were even laden with
gravel awaiting orders. When word came
kilograms were flashed TO score or
points In the southwest where rock was 20
be obtained. Shovels began 10 lift the
gravel and before midnight the gravel
trains were actually on the way TO the
break. Special trains started with ma
chinery and men and large army of en-
ployes Is expected to be ON the ground
In n few hours. The plan of campaign Is
to build three trestles across the break.
In the interstices with gravel and clay,
The lower one Of those dams Will raise
the water three feet, the next one three
more and the upper one raise the water
high enough to flow down the old chan
nell This same method was used in the
previous closure. owing to the sluicing
out OF the old channel there Is three and
a half less HIT than before. Investigation
Just made indicates that there Is no proba-
bility Of an interruption OF the Irrigation
supply before the break can be closed
which Is now simply matter OF expenses.

DESPERATE EFFOsT ON
JUDGE CUTTINGS LIFE,

Chictgo, Dee 2l.-A desperate effort
was made today to assassinate Judge
Charles s Cutting of the probate court
by Frank L, Elerbrock Of this city,
The would-be assassin is believed to be
insane. Judge Cutting escaped injury
by a hairs breadth and overpowered
his assailant after a fierce fight.
A. the Judge entered the criminal
courts building on his way 10 his cham
bers. Ellerbrock, who WAS standing in
the hallway stepped forward and when
but two feet distant, drew a revolver
and fired at the Judge Judge Cutting
instantly turned and struck his assail-
ant heavy blow In the face, almost
knocking him down. Before Ellerbrock
could recover Judge Cutting grabbed
him by the throat and threw him back
over the radiator. whore he held him
despite his desperate efforts TO escape.
Two deputy sheriffs FASTENED to the
assistance Of the Judge and wrested the
revolver from Ellerbrock. Judge cut
ting then allowed him TO rise from the
radiator and the man attempted to at
tack him once more. The two men
struggled back and forth across the
'tNfi'HS NiiN hhN JhHSC VIII Nllt dHSlSl-
ance of the deputy sherffs finally
hurled Ellerbrock to the floor. The
man sim continued 10 struggle until
exhausted, He then commenced to beg
for mercy, saying, Please don't hurt
me-"
Ellerbrock has been laboring under
the Naturalization that the probate
court deprived him OF his rights 10 a
snare In the estate of his deceased sis
ter, He had repeatedly appealed ia
Judge Cutting to reopen the case. Judge
Cutting declined IN absence OF proof
that the estate had been improperly
closed. At the police station Eler-
brock talked incoherently 10 the effect
that II he could get no satisfaction In
the courts he decided to kill the Judge
before whom the matter was pending.
In the next breath Ellerbrock said: Il
didn't mean to shoot the judge. | only
wanted to have him put on trial him
self. | pulled the trigger twice. Once
the bullet failed 70 explode and the 9th
er bullet struck the floor. did not aim
to shoot the iurge at all"
The police believe Ellcrbrock is UNI
doubtedly insane.

CAR SHORTAGE HEARING.
Testimony Goes 10 Show That Shippers
Had to Wait Very Long.

Kansas City, Dec. 2l.--The Interstate
Commerce commission car shortage
hearing was resumed here this morn
ing. Numerous shippers IN different
lines were summoned 10 testify. COM
missioner c. A, Prouty said he believed
he would be able to finish the hearing
late today and to start for Washington
tonight
II -. Wilson, manager Of the trans
portation department of the Kansas
city board OF trade. said that Kansas
City grain men feared 10 accept future
orders for fear OF their inability to get
cars.
"ln your opinion, has the car short
age had any effect upon the price of
grain to the people?" asked Commits
sioner Prouty.
81 think Is has" replied Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson said that the claim of the
railways that grain men did not unload
the cars promptly did not apply to
Kansas City grain men, AS the cars
that arrived here were released with
out delay. The witness presented data
TO show that the receipts of grain al
Kansas City lad decreased $50 cars
In II months, and despite this IL was
harder now TO get cars than formerly.
Mr. Wilson said there were two rea-
sons for the present condltions--lnabil-
ity upon the part of the railroads TO
keep the rolling stock in shape and the
train tonnage system. He said he be-
lieved there should be some way to
prevent the discrimination OF the rail-
roads against the second class" ship
pers as the shipper OF grain and hay
is known, The shipper OF high class
freight" he said, had always been CIV
en the first call on cars. while the
grain, coal and cattle men had to wait.
Mr.. Wilson asserted that If there was
a free interchange between the rail-
roads II would lessen the car shortage.
He believed that the shortage of cars
had produced material damage to ship
pers.
H. c. Crosswhite. an elevator man Of
Enid. okla, said with an elevator full
OF grain he had only been able to ship
one car since Oct. ,. His Arm was
forced to buy grain upon the tracks AT
high rates In order TO get cars. He
said that the farmers of Oklahoma had
been unable to sell their grain and
had lost heavily. For want OF cars
the farmers had placed their grain upon
the ground where 1t had rotted.
