pany. John S. Mitchell, ex-president
Of the National Highway association
leads the Los Angeles delegation.
Riverside county is represented by
Supervisors Karl S. Carlton of River
side and ]. T. Hammer of Corona and
William Watkins of Riverside.
There is a strong delegation from
Yuma, including F. E. Elliott, chair
man of the Yuma county board of
supervisors; George Nicholson, presi-
dent of the Yuma County Chamber of
Commerce; and B. F. Hopkins.
Although San Diego is represented
by sixty of its leading business men,
and Col. Ed. Fletcher, the hardest
fighter among them, carries with him
a letter from the president of the
Southern California Automobile Club
a letter saying that every person liv-
ing in Southern California will be per-
mitted to participate in the conven-
ton. This is in spite of the fact that
the call for the convention stated that
each community would be entitled to
a delegate for each 200 population.
There is no question that the club
called the meeting in good faith, with
a view to ascertaining the wishes of
the people, particularly of this val
ley, as to the location of the road, and
before the meeting had assembled it
seemed apparent the hall would be
crowded, for great interest had been
awakened.
The Automobile Club is a very rich
organization and always carries
large fund in the banks. 1t is stated
that should the club decide upon any
particular route for the road it could
easily set aside a number of thousand
dollars to assist in construction, and
it is intimated that this may result.
Aside entirely from the club in
fluence is that of small groupe of
Los Angeles men who are here to fight
for the Mammoth wash route, and they
will probably be assisted by large
delegation from Brawley, for it is
stated that while Brawley had init
mated that it considered it unwise to
enter the fight a few days since, it
has now been decided that that town
should participate in the convention.
Larger Hall Needed
Before noon it became apparent
that there would be in the neighbor-
hood of 400 persons in attendance on
the convention and that larger hall
would be required, and arrangements
were consequently made for the con-
vention to meet in the Tulane treater.
All during the forenoon people were
arriving from other points in the val
ley to participate in the convention,
and before the hour announced for
convening people had begun to as
semble.
Preparations Made
The many representatives Of San
Diego in the city held caucus at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms in
Masonic temple at 1880, just before

Good Roads Boosters From
All Southern California
Meeting at the Tulane

/Ihere VIII be held IN FL CentrO
Tulane theater, beginning at 2 this af-
ternoon, the first Southern California
convention ever assempled here for
the transaction of business. 1t was
called by the Automobile Club of
Southern California, and ia designed
to decide on a road between this val
ley and Yuma to form part Of the
Switzerland national highway. -
Three interests will be-repfesented,
those Of Los Angeles and neighboring
country, San Diego and Imperial val
ley.
Los Angeles and that section of
Southern California are not concern
ed over a road to Imperial valley, but
wish a road that will deflect travel so
far to the north that it will not con-
meet with the state highway leading
to San Diego, thus giving the latter
city a place on the national highway.
San Diego is anxious to secure the
route that will lead direct from Yuma
to this city, where it will connect
with the state highway and give tour
lists an equal option of proceeding to
Los Angeles or San Diego.
This valley is in sympathy with San
Diego in the selection of a route, and
the great majority of residents Of the
valley feel that their personal inter-
est lies in this route, that the valley
can get the benefit of any advertising
that may come from people passing
through this region; they also feel
that that portion Of the valley under
irrigation along the river is entitled
to direct route to the county seat, if
such road is to be built.
There was talk this morning that
a move might be made to make the
convention strictly delegate affair,
in which case this county is expected
to be practically barred from partici-
patton, there being no known method
to appoint delegates, in the absence
of automobile clubs in the several To-
calities. 1t was talked this morning
that in this event the people Of this
valley and San Diego might retire
and organize their own convention.
No light has yet been thrown on the
plans for financing the construction
of the proposed road, which is presum-
sbly to be built either by Imperial
county or by voluntary contributions,
or by a combination of these two
methods. Thus far the only contribu-
tions of Importance for the highway
have come from citizens of San Diego
and from the county of Imperial, and
in view of the great need that exists
for better roads in the valley, it is
evident the people of the county will
not consent to a heavy tax for a road
to Yuma at this stage of the proceed
ings.
Around the lobby of the Oregon
hotel and elsewhere this morning the
question of the convention was dis
cussed warmly by many delegates,
who gravitated into two distinct
groups.
The San Diego delegation is head
ed by Colonel Ed Fletcher as chair
man and is composed Of leading busi-
ness men of San Diego. In the dele
CATION are Supervisors Tom Fisher
and C. H. Swallow of San Diego coun-
ty; President Lee and Secretary

Another Battle Imminent
In the Vicinity of Juarez
Between Mexican Forces

(By United Press Associations
El Paso, Nov. 24-Villas men are
deployed along a twelve mile front,
twenty-eight miles south of Juarez,
awaiting a federal army estimated at
from 1000 to 10000. The rebels have
5000. Intense excitement prevails
in Juarez. The battle is expected at
any hour, but there was no news from
the front up to noon. Many are leav-
ing Juarez for Ell Paso. The conflict
will probably be decisive of control of
Northern Chihuahua.

Ell Paso, Nov. 24-Messengers from
Villas battle line south of Juarez say
no trace has been found of the federal
force. 1t is now believed there are no
federals within seventy-five miles of
here. Unless he encounters them Villa
will continue south to Chihuahua, ac-
cording to the couriers.

long range with field pieces. The
federals, after a short time, returned
to their trains, reloaded their cannon
and backed to the south as quickly as
they could get under way.
Villa says he has placed his army
tonight in such position that the fed
erals could not possibly execute
thanking movement.
"My line of battle extends for
twelve miles," said the rebel leader
"It runs from La Mesa to TERRA
Blanca. If the federals were moving
around us we would certainly know
of it, for they would have a long
march to make in hilly country"
declared another rebel officer.
Villa today sent another water
train to his army. Accompanying it
were several cars of provisions. "We
have 5000 men to feed" said Villa
"and it takes large amount of food"
Already two trainloads of provisions
had been sent from Juarez to the
rebel troops"

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Oct. 29.-Cotton-Fu- lures opened steady at a decline of 11@15 points in response to lower prices iI other markets. Weather conditions over the belt were con- sidered very unfavorable, as cold and wet weather were shown by the map in sections where much cotton yet remains to be picked The market displayed considerable irregularity in the early trading, the near months being stronger than the distant. The weather conditions over the belt caused recovery of points after the call, but the market had little strength and sagged off again, stand ing at the end of the first half hour of business at loss of If points from Mondays close on the most active months.
 A crop estimate of 15,000,0O0 bales by prominent operator was seized upon by the bears as an excuse for organized short selling, which, to- gether with some little ,1iqnidation of long cotton, pressed heavily against the market Bulls offered little sup port and the market fell off until late in the morning the most active months were 20@25 points under the last quotations of Monday
 No attention was paid to unfavor- able weather accounts from a large part of the belt nor to reports from portions of both Mississippi and Texas that the crop was nearly picked in many localities, indicating short yield. At noon the market stood at net decline of 2O@22 points.
