thought to have gone glimmering.

1t was very novel sight which was
presented to the people of Imperial
valley this morning. with the ground
50 white with frost as to suggest a
snow scene.
The temperature last night was not
50 low as il has been on several oc-
casions recently. reaching only to 30,
hut the moisture from the sprinkle
of the afternoon made the frost posi-
BILE where before the absence of mois :
ture had left things of normal color in
spite of the cold.
As il was the entire landscape was
white. the view dissolving into the
mountain background where real snow
was spread i'll view for the first time
this winter.
An illustration of the effect of the
frost on citrus nursery stock was af-
forded by W. :. Fawcett of Heber. He
said: Il have had citrus nursery
for some time and had wondered what
| could do with ii. Now | know what
to do with it,"
While that is the condition of tie
nursery stock. in the valley the Older
trees have passed through the freez-
ing weather uniniured.
Now that returns are coming in fronI
several districts by personal letters 4
clearer idea of the citrus fruit stua-
tion is obtained. For instance. the
Press this morning saw letter from
one Of the leading orange districts say
ing mercury went to Ii at one time
and that the orange dealers are in
hopes that by regulating the shipment
of fruit it is hoped 25 per cent of the
crop can be marketed at a little profit.

According to the San Diego Sun,
there is now certainty that the na-
tiOnal highway will be built by way
of Yuma and Imperial valley to San
Diego, and the statement it makes y
highly gratifying to the people Of this
region.
Says the Sun: By clasping hands
and linking interests with the entire
south, through the organization in this
city recently Of what is known as the
Southern National Highway associa-
;ipn, San Diego's chances to become
the Pacific coast terminal Of the great
ocean to ocean highway are toIa?
greatly increased.
Although the utmost secrecy mas
prevailed, in order to prevent Los An
gel IS from blocking the plan OF action,
T. e Sun was today. authorized to III
nolnce that the temporary organiza-
lion of the new association, which vii
include in its membership prominent
men Of every city in the south, was
effected quietly in this city more than
week ago at the chamber of com
mcrcc. 1t was decided to guard The
plan closely until a convention could
be arranged to be held in ASheVille.
n. c., January 80 of this year and
until the governors of 10 southern
states, who are enthusiastically in IA
vOr of bringing the great highway
through the southland, had appointed
delegates to the convention. This has
now been done, and permanent organ
izatiOn of the new association will take
place in Asheville the last of this
month.
Congress, which is now controlled
by the southern representatives, will
he asked at its next session to apprO-
pirate s25,OOO,OOO for the construc-
tion Of the highway through the south
ern states from the Atlantic coast into
San Diego by way Of Arizona and New
Mexico. Each southern state will have
the right to select the route through
its own domain. The eastern terminus
of the road will be selected at th3
Asheville convention. Washington and
Baltimore are favorably mentioned.
At the meeting here recently tempo
rary officers We're elected. Col. Dell
NJ. Potter of Clifton. Ariz., who is
back of the movement, was made pres
ident: d. C. Collier Of this city, general
vice-president, and Fred Jackson Of
San Diego treasurer. Colonel Potter
will select his own secretary at his
home i'm Clifton.
When temporary officers are named
at the Asheville convention it is the
intention to choose some southern gov
ernOr or other prominent southernnr
for president. The southland has re
ceived no highway appropriation Of any
since the war. it is said. and
with the south in control Of congress
It is believed that little difficulty will
be encountered in procuring the S25.-
100000 appropriation for the highway
through DiXieland to San Diego.

These facts are frankly presented in

PROBE Of HALL
DISASTER OPENS
Coroner Taking Evidence at
Calumet, Mich.
NOTHING new DEVELOPS

Testimony Of Witnesses c~ontradicts
Generally Circulated Story That
Man Who Yelled "Fire" Wore an
Emblem Of the Citizens Alliance.
+ Calumet, Mich, Dec. 30.-The in.
quest into the cause of the Italian
hall panic in Calumet on Christmas
eve, which cost the lives of seventy
two men, and children, held
the center of interest in the copper
country strike district. When Coro-
mel William Fisher called the inquest
in the town hall the room was crowd
ed to capacity.
A half dozen witnesses testified, in
Guiding Mrs. Annie Clemens, leader
OF the Women's Auxiliary Of the
Western Federation of Miners, the
organization which was distributing
christmas gifts to the children when
the panic in the hall broke out.
The testimony of the witnesses con-
tradicted the generally circulated ru.
mors that a man wearing a Citizens
alliance button had rushed up the
stairs and shouted "Fire!" and that
deputies stood at the foot of the stairs
and beat back those coming out Of
the hall. All testified to the effect
that they had not seen any one wear
ing a Citizens alliance button come
up the stairs, o any person wearing
an alliance button In the hall.
Woman Repudiates Story.
Mrs. Clemens has been generally
said to be one of those who persist
emily circulated the report that the
man who gave the false alarm Of fire
wore an Alliance button, but on the
stand she disclaimed any knowledge
Of that kind and asserted that she
had seen no one affiliated with the
Citizens alliance, an organization op-
posed to the strike, come into the hall.
Congressman Macdonald of Calu-
met has reached here from Washing
ton to look into the strike situation
and the Italian hall tragedy. John B.
Densmore, solicitor of the depart
ment Of labor, is expected shortly.
Gathering of evidence as to the
identity of the men who escorted
President Meyer out of Hancock Fri
day night was continued by strike
leaders. The man who shouted the
false alarm of fire." thereby causing
the panic at the Christmas tree cele-
bration for the children Of striking
miners, is still at large. Union men
intimated, however, that they have a
clue to his identity and that a war
rant may be made soon.

st. Louis, Dec. 3O.-Freight and

telephones exclusively, following the
lockout of 400 telegraph operators
who had threatened to strike, and the

The double coup of the railroad in
locking out its telegraphers and ar.

ASSURES SAFETY
Of AMERICANS
HlERrN NRNNTEIN AMER
ICANS SAFETY EVEN IN
CASE Ot WAR
Will PAY ALL EXPEN 'FS


MENlcO CrrY Sept a. presi
dent Wilson's warning to Americans
tp leave Mexico has called forth a
declaration from General IIucrta
In which he gives assurances
OF safety 10 the Americans under
amy circumstances, even ia case Of
Intervention. so far as the Mexican
government is able 10 afford protec-
ton, and offers to aid those desiring
10 leave by affording special train to
the ports, and making good the DIFF
ference in the price Of stecragt and
the class OF passage to which the
refugees aspire.
The personal sentiments Of the
cOnstitutiOnally elected president to-
ward the United States residents are
benevolent and Just to the extent that
their government having recommend
ed, without justiflabls cause, that
they leave the country, and, while Ia
menting the disposition which caused
alarm, as well as the fact that many
Americans have decided TO leave the
country the president has resolved
TO recommend TO the proper authori-
ties that the government OF the Unit
ed Statees finds It impossible to fur
nlsh only third class passage, That
they offer in a spontaneous and kind
ly manner TO cover the difference
which exists and even provide FREQ
special trains and srautities to the
end that the Americans arrive In
their country with greater comfort
and means than they would other
wise would have.
Huerta's announcement was made
after the appearance Of articles in
certain newspapers.
Even In the case of Intervention,
II II came to that, General Huerta
said
The government is most jealous OF
it's good name and would put forth
all efforts in order that American cit
izens residing among us should not
suffer In the least at the hands or
Mexico, and they would only be eX-
posed to the consequences which an
international war Of such magnitude
brings with it,
Neither the American embassy nor
the Mexican foreign office apears TO
share the optimism Of Washington
officials, regarding the early solution
OF the difficulties between the two ma
tIons. At the embassy n was said
tonight that no communication had
been received from Mr. Lind in three
8aNs. Foreign Minister Bamboo said
that there had been no official COM
munication with Mr.. Lima since the
disatch OF his second note He said
he did not expect any further nego-
tlatlons. unless the administration at
Washington saw III 20 submit re-
iOInder to his last note
