ond floor Of the Julius Salmons
building and Clothing Co., Main St,
between Fifth and Sixth, spread to
the Los Angeles Paint company and
Century Costuming Co., quarters and
threatened to spread throughout the

portions of the apparatus and were
greatly handicapped,
The building was three stories high
ard was destroyed The fire was
confined there although for a time
il threatened the entire down town
business section. While the fight
was at lis height the operator Of a
water tower lost control of the hose
nozzle, because there was so great
pressure and terrific water stream
swept the streets knocking firemen
down and telling horses. A hundred
men ran Tor their lives. Adding to
the confusion a fire nose burst, send
ing the police and fIremen fleeing in
all directions. Five hundred firemen
batted for a hall hour with every
available piece Of apparatus before the
fire was controlled The loss was

Water System and Paving
Held Up by Failure To
Receive Bids on Bonds

Several weeks ago the voters of Ell
Centre authorized the issuance Of the
city trustees Of bonds to the amount
of $4,000 for extensions and I'M
provements to the city water system.
Although the bond issue was ad-
vertised, bids asked for and every
legitimate effort made for their sale,
on account of the slow demand for Sc
curities no bids have been received by
the city trustees.
Street Commissioner A. W. Swan
son stated today that no work on the
contemplated paving to be done on El
Centre streets this fall can possibly be
undertaken until the necessary i'm
provements to the water system are
completed, as otherwise the pavement
would have to be broken and repaired.
Mr.. Swanson has taken the matter

ment to protect their property inter

The statement said in part: we,
residents of Yaqui valley, desire 70
state the facts concerning the exodus
of Americans and others. No TN
easiness was felt until American Con
sui Vail, located at Guaymas, person
ally visited the valley, accompanied
by lieutenant of marines in uniform
He exhibited telegram dated Wash

tary Bryan, earnestly urging all
Americans to leave Mexico immediat-
ly and stating that the Cruiser Buf-
falo was waiting to take them away
The consul added personal advice that
everyone should avail himself of the
opportunity. Relying entirely on
these representations, we abandoned
our homes, together with real and
personal property. Both contending
factions in Mexico had visited Yaqui
valley. Neither had committed any
overt act toward foreigner or mo-
Tested property. We felt the govern
ment had complete knowledge of the
situation, and not desiring to embar-
ras the government, we complied,
thereby suffering substantial financi-
al loss. We feel therefore, justified
in relying on the government to pro
tect our Mexican interests now and in

Diggs and Caminetti Must
Pay Fine and Serve Time
In San Quentin for Crime
BY United Press Association

(By United Press Association
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-Two
years in San Quentin and $4,000 fine
Diggs and eighteen months in San
Quentin and 81, 800 fine for Caminetti
were the sentences pronounced on the
convicted white slavers by Federal
Judge VanFleet. VanFleet scored So
ciety for winking at lax morality in
permitting episodes like the Diggs
and Caminetti affair. He also attack
ed the drink evil and deplored the lack
of parental control among girls.
The defense attorneys tried to
change the sentence to McNeils IS
land prison, Washington, but the
Judge advised the prosecutor that he
had learned the attorney general
would object
Both prisoners remained calm, as
did their relatives. Both were granted
ten days stays on bonds of $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively. The lawyers
have not decided whether to go to a
higher court
Motions for new trials were over
ruled and Attorney Davlin for the de-
fense, pleaded for clemency. He call
ed attention to the fact that the law,
comparatively new, and its provisions
not generally understood He declar-
ed that while ignorance was no excuse,
it might be regarded as mitigating the
gravity Of the offense. He pointed
to the fact that the law originally
was aimed at man who lives on the
earnings of fallen women and he re-
minded the court that this was the
mans first offense. He said Diggs
had lost his business and both had
been held up to ridicule and he believ-
ed they already were sufficiently
punished.
In pronouncing sentence, Judge
VanFleet said: "Your crime is es-
sentially one of opportunity. Had
you not been afforded an opportunity
by the laxity of social conditions and
lack of parental control over the girls,
there might have been a different
story. | think the evidence showed
drink had paralyzing effect on your
minds. Society has to answer for
that. The presence of the saloon road

Regarding complaints Of dust on the
streets paved last spring, Mr.. Swan
son states that the coat of loose rock

pavement. Mr.. Swanson stated that

Still Piling Up The Heat
Record at the Coast Cities
With All Records Broken
(By United Press Association)

tBy United Press ASsociation)
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17-THIS
WAS THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE
YEAR WITH THE MERCURY AT
19s AT 1880 AND STILL CLIMB
ING. PREDICTIONS ARE THAT
ALL SEPTEMBER RECORDS WILL
BE BROKEN. 1T WILL BE STILL
WARNER TOMORROW ACCORD
ING TO THE FORECAST. A HOT
WIND ADDED TO THE DISCOM-
FORT.
There is one point in this connec-
tion which rather amuses people here.
That is the fact that while Imperial
valley admits its heat and attempts
to conceal nothing regarding its eli
mate, the several cities on the coast
are averse to making any admissions,
and Los Angeles alone of them all to-
day sends out dispatch giving the
temperature.
From the dispatches of yesterday
and from persons who have just arriv-
ed from coast points, it is learned that
the temperature all the way from
San Diego throughout the length of
the state has been abnormally hign.
The effect of this temperature on
crops is not favorable, but it remains
to be seen to what extent damage is
resulting.
Taking the heat in connection with
the forest fires prevailing in number
of localities and exerting an influence
over wide range Of territory, it is
certain there are great many per-
sons 80 situated as to suffer greatly.

A strong easterly wind is causing the
Imperial Valley press., 1913-09-17

growing school districts Of the valley,
that it was essential that more than
the 80 cents tax on SI00 valuation i'm
posed by the state legislature as a
maximum for the special school tax
be raised.
School funds this year will be raised
by a general county tax of so cents
on $100, and the special tax will be
levied only in ten districts, whose de-
mands run above funds possible un-
der the so cent rate Otherwise there
would have been twenty-six districts
in which a special tax would have been
necessary.
AS it stands now the Imperial school
will be short about $500 Of the
funds estimated necessary by the dis
trict and Ell Centre district will lack
in the neighborhocd of $4,000, even
with the full special tax The school
boards of these two districts will have
to trim the items in their estimates to
conform to the amounts available un-
der the maximum tax allowed by law,
and 1t is thought the lowering Of the
estimates ON items not necessarily
essential may easily be accomplished.

Case is Better
In This Valley

Dispatches from the coast today
bringing reports Of still greater heat,
have amazed the people Of the valley,
where the maximum temperature up
to 2 o'clock was 103. The fact that the
temperature today did not go soaring
here has led to the hope that the val
ley will escape the heat wave which
has struck the coast.
During the day haze had hidden
the mountains to the west, and there
was considerable discussion as 20
whether this betokened wind or was
the smoke from the forest fires re-
ported in the dispatches, and up to 2
o'clock the question was not settled.
1t appeared at that time, however,
as though the wind theory might
prove the correct one, and that benz
the case, despite the weather predic
tion from Los Angeles of more heat.
it would probably indicate a smasl. :
ing of the summer season, which in
the valley often disappears in an hon
when a west wind sets in at about
this season.
Many Los Angeles people in the
city looked with incredulity on the
dispatches telling of great heat
there, but there is no reason to doubt
that records were smashed today.
