Skirts the Cause

Washington, June 26.-Enter the
diaphanous skirt, exit by way of bank
ruptcy the $35,OOO,O0O corporation of
the H B. Claflin corporation of New
York. Fefusal of the modern woman
to burden herself with petticoats and
other dainty bits of lingerie brought
ruin to the great dry goods corpora
tion.
The Department of Commerce re-
ceived word today that the reason
for the firms embarrassment was
directly due to its being overstocked
on white goods and its inability to
dispose of them.
"Women wouldn't wear 'em," was
the laconic explanation ."We couldn't
give underskirts away as gifts, not
even if we offered premium with
each one"
The Comptroller of the Currency
is especially interested, because of
the report that large amount of
the firms paper was held by banks.

Huerta Has Scheme
To Sell Peninsula
to the Japanese

Los Angeles, June 27.-Details of
an alleged stupendous plan by Dicta-
tor Huerta to sell Lower California
| to Japan are contained in a commu-
nication received by Los Angeles Mex
/ leans and turned over to the rebel
consul here yesterday.
! Vasquez Eagle, Huerta's agent, is
said to be on the way from Mexico
City to Toxic to lay the final lpans
before the Mikado. Japanese agents,
it is charged, are already making
surveys Of the land and reporting to
their government on harbor and dwfor-
tifcation facilities and upon the esti-
mated value of the lands in ques-
ton.
! If this is true and the plan is car
ried cut by Huerta and Japan, it will
result in international complications
due to violations of both the neutral
ity laws and the Monroe doctrine
The result could not be we'll foretold.
! This action, it is claimed, results
from the failure on the part of the
federals to dispose of land taken By
them in Lower California to Ameri-
cans and others, who evidently feared
that the constitutionalists would keep
their threat and would take the land
back when in power.
Nf @Lo
contained in communication from
a man who signs his name "Guiter-
rez," reputed to be a wealthy land
OWNER in Ensenada. 1t was written
from San Diego and dated June %.
He states that he has just come to
the United States from Ensenada and
wishes to warn the large number of
refugee Mexicans in Los Angeles who
also are big landowners in Lower
California.
Gutierrez states that he has def
mite information that Vasquez Eagle
has left for Japan, commissioned by
Huerta to deal with that country"
said Adolfo Carrillo, local rebel con-
sui, today, "He writey in detail of
Interpretations of large number of
Japanese who he claims are working
alon gthe coast under the guise Of
pearl fishers, but who are in reality
taking measurements in the harbors
and on the coast for use by their gov
ernment.
Japanese also have been seen TAX
rig land surveys, evidently for the
purpose of reporting in detail, he re-
portS. The lands surveyed are those
belonging to federals and to consti-
tutionalist sympathizers who have de-
serted their homes for the time be-
ing, and which will cover the largest
part of Lower California"

There is not single organization,
he declared, that can speak authori-

result has been that we have been

and fully time, that we, the people
of Imperial Valley, get behind one
organization as a unit. He hoped for

He then read the call for the meet

Mark Rose opposed the resolution,
Offering a substitute that the COM
mittee do not go before congress un-
til December.
R. d. McPherrin hoped the amend.
ment to the resolution would not pre-
vail, for if it did it would end the
convention here. He thought we
ought to agree on the fundamental
proposition that an appeal would have
to be made to congress, and that the
work of the meeting ought not be
throttled at the start.
= All Sections Were There.
This was probably the most rep
resentative assembly that was ever
held in the valley, every water dis
trict and every town from INLAND to
Calex'co being represented, and the
great insistent demand was that steps
be taken to secure the valley for all
time from the encroachments of the
river.
1t was notable, too, that the great
drift of sentiment is favorable to the
irrigation district, many person who
has been opposed to the district in
the past admitting tnat now it has be-
come a necessity.
There was testimony from every
side of the great present prosperity
of the valley, and a determination to
prevent the occurrance of anything
that might destroy that prosperity.
