GOVERNOR ORDERS WEBB
TO GO TO SAN DIEGO
IBY UNITED PRESS AssoCIATIoNsl

IBY UNITED PRESS ASSoCIATIONsl
SACRAMENTO, May 2l-In a
statement issued this morning. Gov
ernor Johnson states he has ordered
Attorney General Webb to so TO San
Diego and investigate conditions
caused by the Industrial Workers of
the World invasion. The governors s
statement says he has received
scores of appeals to investigate the
case and has decided it is his duty to
enforce the law, no matter who it af-
fects. Scores of persons are criti-
cising Weinstock's report The gov
ernor denies that politics is factor
in sending Weinstock to investigate.
and says while he does not sympa-
thiZe with the InduStrialists' propa-
Sanda. he will demand that they be
treated humanely. He offers San
Diego state aid in getting new laws
TO aid in improving conditions.
The statement said: The San Di-
ego problem is more than local The
same difficulties may come to any
community in California soon. When

the situation, so if the conditions are
repeated in other communities we will
be able to deal with them. Beyond
this. however it is no matter how an
archistic industrialists might be or
ganized the government cannot toler-
ate the administration of law by vigi-
lantes. | have no sympathy with the

any man If any men are guilty the
laws must punish them. If laws are
inadequate to meet the exigencies,
we will gladly do anything necessary
to provide the requisite statutes If
San Diego wishes state aid we will
cheerfully respond. But just as GER
tainly will state aid be extended any
man, no matter how humble, whose
rights are trampled on as in San
Diego. and with the same alacrity
will the state provide redress for
those whose liberty is wantonly vio-
lated. 1t appears certain that the
constitutional rights of people in San
Diego have been violated. In pursu-
ance of my power, | will direct the at
torney general to proceed to San Di-
ego, that the laws may be enforced,
justice done and solution found for
the problem confronting San Di-
ego and thereafter give the benefit of
his knowledge to other communities
if necessary. l wish him as chief law
officer of the state, so far as he can
to give redress to those who have suf-
fered wrong and mete out equal and
exact justice to all

! certainty of the Republican nomina-
tion did not appeal to the jurist, so
the story goes, and, accordingly, he
has been eliminated from further con-
sideratiOn.
Next to Justice Hughes, the man
who measures closest to the Barnes
idea of compromise candidate is
Senator Root
In the first place, it is figured that
Root can carry New York, which is
expected to be a pivotal state in the
November election
He is standpatter, but not of the
| offensive variety For instance, he
voted at the last session of congress
to GUST Lorimer and favored the pop.
ular election of United States sena-
r tors
He was member of Roosevelt's
cabinet, and as secretary of state was
highly esteemed.
He is against direct legislation,
which Chairman Barnes considers es-
sential in any candidate who is to
command the standpat support. In the
present presidential campaign he has
expressed preference for Taft, but he
has not been drawn into the contest in
such way as to arouse antagOnism.
Since the collapse of the Taft boom,
there have been repeated conferences
among reactiOnary leaders to discuss
the possibility of stemming the Roose-
velt sentiment by uniting upon COM
promise candidate. The reactionary
press. voicing this proposal, has been
calling loudly for harmony, especially
during the last few days
Roosevelt made Taft impossible
and now Taft is making Roosevelt i'm
possible" is the burden of the tuneful
chorus
The plan to bring out" Senator
Root is said to have been agreed to
finally at conference held in this
city last week. The subcommittee in
charge Of the preliminary arrange
mentS were notified of the decision
and they were told to name him as
temporary chairman,
Certain of Senator Roots friends to-
day advised strongly against his ac-
cepting this honor, on the ground that
friction is certain to develop over the
question of temporary chairman. They
consider that a political blunder has
been made in bringing his name up
at this time

Scorer Service Aids

That officials of the department OF
justice OF the United States govern.
! ment, acting under orders of Presi-
dent Taft, have concluded 10 take the
l. w. W. investigation out of the hands
of the city authorities of San Diego
and those of the state, is indicated in
q resumption of activities at San Diego
by United States secret service agents
of Los Angeles.
The telegram from the department
of justice instructing the special
agents to go to San Diego declared
important developments are at hand.
The nature of the important devel-
cpments' is speculative, even among
the local officers, but it is known that
Los Angeles secret service men have
been instructed to reopen the probe
and to report in detail on the situa-
ton from day to day.
The officers of this government are
being assisted at San Diego by Henry
NJ. Gray. a representative of Presi-
dent Madero and other Mexican Off
GERS. although the anticipated "devel-
opments," it is thought, have no bear
ing on the possibility of an invasion of
Lower California by the Industrial
Workers of the World, or the instiga-
ton of another revolution.
One of the specific duties assigned
to the special agents now i'll San Diego
is that of aScertaining the identity of
persons who, as witnesses, may be of
assistance to the government in its
grand jury investigation in progress
in this city.
Not more than a fortnight ago it was
frankly admitted by government offici-
ais that the federal laws were not be-
ing violated, and cessation of activi-
ties on the part of the local secret
service agents was a result The in
veStigation preliminary to the Magon
neutrality trial in the United States
court, continued, however But it has
been definitely ascertained that the
probe now In progress and launched
by order OF the president, has nothing
to do with the MagOn case.
The United States first took cogni-
Zance of the San Diego trouble three
months ago, when District Attorney
H. S. Utley of San Diego county ap-
pealed to United States Attorney A.
l. Mccormick for assistance in hand
ling the Industrial Workers of the
World AT that time Mr.. Utley ex-
pressed apprehension as to the ability
of the local authorities to cope with
the situation and Mr.. Mccormick
promised TO intercede if there devel-
oped probable cause to believe any of
the federal laws were being violated.
Secret service men We're then dis
patched TO the southern city. but after
a rigid investigation reported that the
federal laws were not being tampered
with. A cessation of activities fol-
lowed, but the receipt of a telegram.

SATISFACTORY CONDITION
ON LOWER COLORADO

While newspaper reports from
The Needles are to the effect that the
Colorado river at that point has
been detected by sandbar and has
been menacing the town, conditions
at the Imperial heading are normal
and nothing has occurred to cause
any apprehension.
1t is almost exactly a month from
now that the crest of the regular
summer flood is due to pass Imperial
intake, and the river is steadily
working up toward the annual flood
condition.
improvements have been made to
the Volcano lake levee so the water
would have to rise eight feet higher
than heretofore to overtop it. which
is highly improbable.
With efforts being made to secure
an appropriation from the govern
ment for an extensive protective
work on the river, conditions are very
satisfactory

ROOT IS SUGGESTED
As A COMPROMISE

WASHINGTON, May 21-Is there a
sinister motive behind the tentative
appointment of Senator Elihu Root for
temporary chairmanship of the Re-
publican national convention?
There were persistent reports afioat
here yesterday that the thrusting of
the New York senator into the spot
light at this time means that he is the
much-talked-Of compromise candidate
His selection as temporary chairman,
it is assetred, is part of the Barnes
program and is merely preliminary to
springing his name as the one candi-
date who can harmOniZe the factions
within the party.
Had Justice Hughes expressed a
willingness TO accept the nomination
he would have been the first choice of
the Barnes crowd. But resignation

1872 and the I2sth anniversary of the
framing of the Constitution of the United
States, will be held in the field at "Bel-
mont the Peters mansion of Colonia
and Revolutionary times. overlooking
the Sehuylkill river in Fairmount Park.
The celebration will last from Monday.
Oct. until Saturday. Oct. II. Upwards
of 5000 costumed people depicting the
peincipal episodes in the history of Phila-
delphia willta part in the pageant. The
performance will be repeated Monday,
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings.
One Of the unique features will be a
band in Colonial uniforms and playing
upon instruments some Of which are over
200 years old. The band will be under
the leadership Of ]. n. Brown, now re-
siding at Sudbury, Pa, but who formerly
lived at Conowingo and Colora, this
county. Mr.. Brown has spent many
years in the collection of the strangest as
sortment of wind instruments ever
brought together. The oplicleide, or
keyed serpent. is the gem of his collec-
ton. 1t is about 200 years old and was
brought from France. A duplicate is
owned by Prest. H. o. Hildebrand. of the
Rittenhouse Trust company. who values
his instrument at $4,000. The very old
est instrument in Mr.. Browns collection
is wooden serpent invented in 1890.
1t is. in bad condition but its owner i'm
tends sending il to Paris to be repaired
and he hopes then to be able to play
modern music upon it. Nearly all the
instruments were in badly battered con-
dition when they came iato possession of
the collector, but they have since been
put 10 first class order and are now con-
sidered quite valuable, although costing
him but comparatively small sum-.
Among the collection are severAl copper
war bugles. some having been used in
northern regiments and others in south
ern during the Civil war. Several curio-
sites are old trombones. each with a bell
formed like the head of dragon and
with red leather tongue fixed between
its gaping jaws in such manner that
the tongue wags horribly with every note

opposite that Of Kreider's. In the spring
of 1911 Kreider's cattle crossed the creek.

wandered was not covered with valuable
grass. The jury found in favor of the
