DID NOT ADVISE ANY
WITNESSES TO
STAY AWAY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ON
THE GUAVARA HEARING
KIock Declares He Did Not Tell
Chief McMiIIin Council Had
No Authority to Summon
Witnesses,

In the report of the hearing of
Officer Guavara by thu council police
committee Friday night, City Attorney
Collins is quoted in The Morning
journal as stating that / advised wit
nesses opposed to Guavara to remain
|away from the hearing said District
Attorney Gerogo S. Klock last night.
"This statement is made stronger by
the afternoon paper this afternoon
which quotes Chief MeMillin to the
effect that | told Attorney Modesto
ortiz, attorney for Vargas, that the
council had no power to summon wit
nesses 10 this hearing and also that
advised witnesses to stay away from
the hearing
These statements, said the district
attorney, "are absolutely incorrect. !
can see no reason why the council or
its committee should not have had the
! power to summon witnesses to n
official hearing of the kim which l
understand that of Guavara to have
been. The council committee could
not hope for any kind of an inVestiga-
ton into Guavara's case without wit
nesses and it certainly a the right
10 summon them. l think Attorney
ortiz has been misquoted, for | did
not advise him to advise witnesses TO
remain away from this hearing nor
did I myself advise any witnesses 10
stay away. It was clearly h coun-
ellis duty, or thai of its committee, to
make some kind of a thorough lhNes-
tigation into this case and want II
distinctly understood that not only did
/ do nothing to interfere with the
thoroughness OF this hearing but that
I would have been glad to assist the
committee in carrying 1t out had l
been called upon. The statement mat
1 advised witnesses to stay away from
the hearing. either directly or indi-
rectly. is incorrect"

PROTECTION
WILL COST
BIG SUM
ALAMEDA Dixie TO BE
RAISED TWO FEET
Wing Dam to be Construed
on West Bank of the Rio.
Grande at Approach TO New
BareIas bridge,

Complying with instructions given
him some week ago County Surveyor
A. e. Ogle yesterday presented to the
county commissioners a report owe
ing his recommendations as to neces-
sarv work on the dykes along the Rio
Grande to insure full protection from
floods during the coming spring and
summer.
Mr.. Ogle reported hat the condi-
ton of the dyke at Alameda, which
protects the entire valley north of Al
buquerque. was not satisfactory and
recommended that the dyke be raised
two feet along its entire length.
His second recommendation was
that q wing dam be constructed just
north of the new Barelas bridge. TO
stop the cutting of the river at that
point which is now becoming serious
ana which threatens not only the APP
proaches to the bridge, but adjacent
farming lands as well.
The surveyor presented an approxi-
mate estimate Of the total cost of the
work proposed which will be quite MS
expensive as in former years. After
some discussion the commissioners
adopted the report and instructed the
county clerk to advertise for bids AT
once for the construction. Work will
be pushed on the new dykes and it is
expected that all will be completed be-
fore the end of the winter n well
before the first spring thaw.

JUDGE LOUGHARY STILL
IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Attorney Who Sustained a a
Several Weeks Ago, Not Recov-
ering Rapidly as Expected.

Judge Lowell L%oughary, the at
torney who was injured several weeks
ago by falling from a stairway near
his office on the second floor of the
old san Jose building, to the stone
pavement below, is not recovering as
rapidly as was expected and the indi-
cations are that he will be confined to
st. Joseph's hospital indefinitely. II
was at first believed that MI. Lough-
ary had only sustained a fractured
nose and other minor injuries. 1t de-
veloped, however, that he sustained a
conclusion of the brain, which has
caused his attending physician con-
siderable anxiety. 1t is, expected that
Mr.. Loughary will ultimately recover,
but just when he will be discharged
as cured, is still a matter of much UNI
certainty.
