A sensation ,was sprung in Brawley
yesterday when there appeared on the
scene United States deputy marshals
to summon certain cantaloupe ship
ers to answer to the federal court
in Chicago to the charge of con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, under
the Sherman antitrust law.
That the various shippers came to
an understanding regarding the dis
tribution of cantaloupes through the
several markets and that they adopt
ed uniform contract with the grow
ers IS admitted, but they deny that
they have combined to hold up prices
or have considered prices at their
meetings.
Whether the relationship is such as
to bring them within the prohibitions
of the Sherman law is apparently to
be determined in court, but is now
strenuously denied.

Valley Cantaloupe Shippers
May Answer to Court

chants to testify before the grand
jury relative to an alleged close con-
troll of the crop.
The inquiry is directed against COM
mission merchants in New York,
Pittsburg, Chicago, Colorado and
California, and may form the basis of
action under the Sherman antitrust
laws.
The alleged offenders are said to
be the two boards of control of the
Eastern Cantaloupe Exchange. AS
evidence of the activity of the ex-
change, Investigators assert before
it was formed in 1911 cantaloupes
sold for SITS a case and that i'm
mediately after it's organization the
price advanced to So.
Los Angeles, June 13.-Los Ange-
les commission men believe that any
Californians who are summoned to
appear before the grand jury would
be persons identified with the West
ern Cantaloupe Exchange. They are
not aware that any have been sum-
moned, but it is understood that sub
poenas have been mailed to represen-
tatives at Brawley.
A. M. Klein, treasurer of the Unit
ed Marketing Company, member Of
the exchange, said yesterday that no
trust existed.
"The exchange is maintained for
the purpose of bettering marketing
conditions and to prevent sending ex-
cessive supplies of the melons to one
marketing CENTER" he said yesterday
"The exchange is organized on the
same basis as the California Fruit
Growers Exchange"

River Seventeen Miles Wide.


Needles, June 13.-The Colorado
river, believed to be at it's highest
flood stage today, is booming, turbu-
lent torrent 80 feet deep and flow
ing through a channel $50 feet wide
at point four miles south of To-
pock.
/ At Topock the water is 60 feet
deep under the bridge, 13 feet higher
than its highest stage during the flood
of last year. The river still is max
ing inroads in the old channel north
of Topock, but workmen are prevent
ing rapid crumbling of the bank and
it is believed the stream will stay in
the present channel.
Ten miles north of Needles today
the country is under water as far as
the eye can see. The stream is sew
entean miles wide at that point, but
shallow. From there south the chan
mel narrows rapidly.
Both the turbulent Colorado and the
forces fighting the inroads of it's
floods are apparently holding their
own today. There was slight drop
in the flood during the night, but the
river early today apparently neither
is rising nor falling.

LIEN LOST OUT
in LAND OFFICE

3. H. Lien, who had been the ia
vored candidate for the land office
receiver in Los Angeles and who had
the endorsement of Congressman Will
liam Kettner and many other Demo-
cratic organizations, received a tele-
gram from Mr.. Kettner this morning
as follows:
"With deepest regret / have to in
form you that we lost out in both
land office appointments. Nothing has
happened since l have been in con-
gress that has distressed me more.
civilian KETTNER."
Commenting on the above telegram,
Mr.. Lien said that he had not been
a candidate for this or any other Of
flee until he had received a letter
from Congressman Kettner more than
one year since asking him if he would
accept the office of receiver of the
United States land office at Los An
geles.
Mr.. Lien furnished strong recon-
mendations, both local and outside, rs
one might wish for. He said:
at seems to be hoodoo to be an
original Woodrow Wilson man in the
Imperial Valley, as no one of those
who supported Woodrow Wilson prior
to the primaries has been recog-
nized."
President Wilson today made these
nominations:
Registrar of land office: John d.
Roche, Los Angeles, Cal, at Los An
geles.
Receiver of public moneys: Alex
ander Mitchell of Glendale, at Los
Angeles.
John D. Roche resides at 344 Brent
street, Los Angeles. He has been
employed during the last four years
as an inspector for the board of pub
lie works. He came to Los Angeles
in 1897, from Mount Vernon, Ind,
where he was editor of the Mount
Vernon Democrat.
In 1890 Mr.. Roche was elected a
member of the Indiana state senate.
He was strongly endorsed by South
ern California Democrats and also
had the support of Senator Kern and
other Indiana Democrats.
M. Roche will succeed Frank Bu-
ren, who was appointed registrar un-
der the Taft administration.
4 M. Mitchell is a real estate dealer
and prominent Elk of Glendale. His
home is on Kenneth road in that city.
He was supported by practically the
same factions favoring Mr.. Roche.
Mr.. Mitchell will succeed o. r. w.
Robinson as receiver of the land Of

TWENTY KILLED IN
RAILROAD WRECK

Los Angeles, June 13.-Thunder-
ing over the rails at fifty miles an
hour, the California Limited No. a
of the Santa Fe line hit an open
switch in the yards at Bagdad, early
last night, crashed head on into a
heavy train of freight cars in it's
path, snuffed out the lives of twenty
persons and sent twice that many to
hospitals seriously and slightly in
jured, according to reports received
here.
The passengers were crushed in Il
tangled mass of wood and steel as
the composite car, directly behind the
engine, telescoped with mighty
force into the dining car immediately
behind.
Names of the killed and injured
could not be ascertained here from
Santa Fe officials at late hour last
night, the employees of the road at
the Sagdad station being too busy at
tending the injured.
An early flash, however, received
at the local depot from the operator
at the fatal spot, contained the news
that the number of dead is estimated
at twenty, while the injured will
probably total double that number
The crash took place at 7:45 p. m.
The train left Los Angeles-east-.
bound-at' 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, loaded to its capacity.
Only two stops were made between
Los Angeles and the little town
where the flyer met it's fate-San
Bernardino and Barstow.
Bulletins to the dispatchers indi-
Gated that the train had reached these
two places on schedule time and no
reason has been found for an excess
sive speed through Bagdad.
There are several miles of straight
away track, however, just this side of
Bagdad and it is believed the engi-
neer calculated the switch at the town
to be in condition.
On siding stood train of heavily
loaded freight cars and an engine
prepare ed to get away this morning.
The engineer had absolutely no
knowledge of the open switch into
which he was about to drive until he
reached it.
Seeing the impending catastrophe
at a glance as he stood at his throt-
tie, he jammed on the brakes. But
it was too late. Grinding over the
rails, the heavy limited smashed
into the rear end of the freight.
The engine remained on the rails.
The composite car, directly behind the
engines tender, slammed itself back
viciously into the open front of the
diner. The two cars hurled them
selves into the air and remained rigid
in their vertical position.
The ear-splitting crash as the trains
collided could be heard throughout the
surrounding country for more than
a mile.
Within half hour after the crash
two wrecking cars-one from San Ber-
nardino, the other from Needles
were dispatched Immediately to the
scene.

Water from I1eVee
Not Yet Flowing on

but it is believed the interruption OF
work will be short.
Falling at Needles.
Advices late today from Needles
were to the effect that the river there
has fallen four-tenths of foot in
the last twenty-four hours, this being
later than the press news from that
town, and it is believed this implies
that the water at Yuma will begin to
recede by Tuesday.
Fields Not Reached.
Word came from the delta country
this morning that the overflow wa
ter from the break in the levee had
just reached George Longs ditch, and
if it gets over the embankment of the
ditch it will begin to flood cultivated
fields, but thus far the fields are not
covered
Water behind the levee is reported
to be still falling, but the extent of
the recession could not then be
learned. 1t is understood, however,
that the water is down two or three
feet from the height before the break
indicating that there is little flow of
water toward the levee.
The following telegram was received
today from Mcdonnell, assistant to
Professor Brandeburg, United States
chief of the weather bureau of the
Colorado river:
GA. A. Anderson, Ell Centre: River
at Yuma should reach 3005 or slight
ly higher by June 16 or II; then fall
