HEAT AND EXHAUSTION
ALMOST PROVE FATAL
Employees of Army Engineer
Corps Subjected to Hard
ship in Arizona.

YUMA. Ariz., May 27.-Nearly dead
from heat and exhaustion. three employees
of the Army Engineer Corps were res
cued at the reclamation camp on the
Colorado river. about forty miles below
here. They were sent from the army
engineer camp to examine the break
in the dixie that the Engineer Corps had
built on the Mexican side of the Colo
RADIO river, and which was broken by
the recent floods ip the Colorado. The
power boat in which they descended the
river followed the new channel that was
made by the break. but gradually the
channel disappeared as the river spread
out In the wilderness of yucca and ar
row grass that covers the region to the
southwest Of the dixie.
Power insufficient.
The boat did not have power enough
to return against the current, and the
exploring party nearly died before reach

ican side of the river
The United States. with the consent
Of Mexico. has had the Engineer Corps
building line of dikes on the Mexican
side OF. the river similar to that main
tanned by the reclamation service on the
American side. The object was to keep
the Colorado river in its accustomed bed.
Since the break in the dixie on the Mex
lean side few days ago the river has
been pouring into the desert. and even
tually will find its way into Volcano
lake, on Mexican territory. and thence
into the Gulf of California.
Small Chance of Damage.
No great damage will be done The
geology of the country shows that the
river has done this at intervals in past
ages. The break will not affect the I'M

Colorado was closed by the Southern Pa

HORSE MEN TO TAKE
Up PLAN TO HOLD
NATIONAL EXHIBIT
Success of Washington
Event Inspires Broader
Ideas.

A prominent member of the execu-
tive committee of the National Cap
ital Horse Show stated today that
Major Henry T. Allen, chairman of
the executive committee, had perfect
ed plans to call a meeting of horse
men from all over the country to
consider the best plan to make the
National Capital Horse Show a ma
tional affair.
Letters will be sent out in 4 few
days days inviting the men here to a
meeting when the whole matter will
be discussed and some definite action
taken.
The success of the recent show here
all over the country suggested it
should be made a national affair. 1t
was pointed out that the grounds
were large enough for this, that the
grandstand had ample seating ca
pacity, and that Washington was the
ideal place for such a show.
At the close of the show here P.
V. DeGraw. Fourth Assistant Post
master General, who is one of the
best known horsemen in Washington,
different directors of the National
Horse Show, and that all were agreed
the show should be made not only a
large, but a national affair.
Among the prominent horsemen
who will confer with the directors of
the Washington Horse Show are
Senators Bailey, Wetmore, and Wat
son. three of the most important ex-
hibitors in the country, representing
vastly different territory. Senator
Bailey has trotting horses on his
Texas farm, and Senator Wetmore
at his Rhode Island stables has some
Of the hest known horses in the coun-
try. While the horses of Senator
Watson. of West Virginia. are known
not alone in America, but in England
as some of the finest blue ribbon win
ners in the world.
Adolphus Busch, Sd, one of the
largest private exhibitors, will also
attend the conference. and is heartily
in favor of the plan. S. w. Taylor,
directors. and there seems no doubt
that Washington will have a national
horse show next year.

There are many other good games
scheduled for this afternoon, and it Is
thought the playing will be the best so

been noted by the officials and an even
more marked one should be witnessed

in it's lineup in the game with the
Treasurers Monday. Dyer, on account
of bad arm, will be moved from third

The Auditors have in their games this
season shown a weakness in the outer

Of good players whom he has been un-

The Bookkeepers have the largest field
