SCHOOL DAY AT
INLAND SATURDAY
NEXT BIG EVENT

John D. Reavis, manager of Nj
land and vice president of the Cali
fornia Land and Water Company, has
sent an invitation to each of the prin-
cipals and teachers of the valley to
be present on a trip to INLAND Sat
urday, which is expected to develop
into great educational event. 1t is
the belief of Mr.. Reavis that the
school children of any section should
be made familiar with their own re-
gion and with the steps taken for its
development, as they are in later
lives to be participants in the work
Aside from the local school people
who have been invited, invitations
have been sent to Mark Keppel, coun-
ty superintendent of Los Angeles
county; Mrs. Dorsey, assistant super.
intendent of that county, and John r.
Francis, superintendent of the Los
Angeles schools, to be present and
address the assembly.

OUT
JEFFERSON DINNER

The committee on arrangements for
the jefferson Club banquet on April
Ia will mail the invitations today.
The jefferson Club has not been Or
ganized as yet, but the banquet is
expected to bring at least $50 Demo-
Gratis, at which time officers will be
elected and membership pledged.
1t is quite probable that the din
ner will be given in the Masonic hall
as every indication points to larger
crowd than could be accommodated at
the Tulane cafe. Besides every good
thing on the menu, there will be
speeches galore. All of the old time
Democrats will be present, each one
wearing a small white dove in his but
tonhole-the symbol of peace and
harmony.

DETENTION HOME
NEEDED IN COUNTY

That Imperial county IS in need
of a detention home for juveniles is
the opinion of Probation Officer A.
w. Swanson, that official being some
what reticent regarding the PROPOSE
tion because of the fact that he has
been compelled to keep most of the
Juveniles at his own home.
At the present time he has three
in his charge and, having no place
to house them, the result is that his
own home is used for that purpose
The county has made no provision for
the care of Juvenile delinquents, de-
serted children and orphans until the
court orders action in the matter.
During the interim it is necessary
that they receive attention and care.
another feature that perplexes me
is the fact that when a man is given
probation and he has no funds it is
generally up to some one to provide
a job or money to care for him. He
has difficulty in soliciting work on
account of his previous trouble. Gen
orally his money has been expended
in the trial. The supervisors are un-
able to appropriate funds in these
cases, consequently the burden falls
on a few kind-hearted business men
who donate to the cause" q

der the purview Of existing govern
mental bodies-the former under the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
latter under the department of justics
and the bureau of corporations.
The flood of resolutions, however, is
dwindling. When the Democrats first
came into power, they wanted every
thing investigated. Appropriations ga.
lore, expenditures without end. All,
they were made by Republicans, and
were they not proper matters for
Democratic "pitiless publicity"
Then after their first enthusiasm,
the Democrats forgot that the Repub-
licans had ever existed. Subsequent
Investigations would cover such SUBJ
jects as dissolution of the American
Tobacco Company, the American Wool
en- Company, the forest service, th.,

OCEAN, -TO-OCEAN
ROAD INSPECTED

All of the representative business
men of Ell Centre who made the au-
tomobile excursion to the sandhills
in the eastern part of the county yes
terday for the purpose of gathering
information as to the feasibility and
possibility of a direct road to Yuma
were loud in praise on the return.
Through the generosity of San Die
go county, Imperial county will be
able to secure sufficient planking to
cover about two miles of almost i'm
passable sandhills. Yuma, on the
other hand, has been equally ener-
getic in providing means for the con-
tinuation of the Ocean to Ocean high
way.
Imperial county has been asked t,
pay the. freight on the lumber and
defray the cost of construction. A
meeting will be held this evening in
Davis hall for the purpose of pro-
viding ways and means for the COM
pletion of the road.
San Diego is anxious to have the
road built as early as possible, SO
that automobiles can reach the big
expositions by the most direct route.
II am most heartily in favor Of the
construction of the road over the
sandhills," stated F.. w. Waite, coun
ty horticultural commissioner, who
was a member of the party. "The
roads in the eastern part of the county
are exceptionally good. 1t will re-
quire very little effort to continue ths
highway over the short space of sand
hills and the benefits derived from
its use would be many times greater
than the cost"
81 do not think we should hesitate
for a minute" declared Mont j. Reed,
county tax collector. "We were all
amazed to find such excellent con
ditions prevailing out there. There
is excellent land and, with a good
highway, the county would profit
greatly"

PRESIDENT URGES
ACTION BY SENATE
Omitted Press Day Service)


Washington, April With the ca
nal tolls repeal safely passed by the
house, President Wilson today dis
cussed with Senator's Kern, Jane;
and others plans for Fastening action
by the upper branch of Congress. The
senator's are of the opinion it will
take at least six weeks to dispose of
the resolution. The president is anX-
ious for haste. 1t is understood he
will personally appeal to friendly
lawmakers to push the proposition
and hasten adjournment.
The White House served an ulti-
matum on the members of the Sem
ate canals committee today to the
effect that unless the Panama canal
tolls repeal measure is reported
promptly the administrations support
ers will summarily force the commit
tees hand Meantime the Senate
decks are being cleared for the fight,
that is expected to eclipse the one in
the lower house.
1t is admitted the administrations
foreign policy hangs in the balance.
The ultimatum was preceded by con-
ference between the president and
Senator Owen, the administrations
spokesman on the floor of the SEN
ate.
Owen conveyed the presidents mes
sage to Chairman O'Gorman Of the
Senate canals committee. The conf
mittee will be given week to con-
slider the Sims resolution, and Owen
said at the expiration of this time,
unless the report is forthcoming, the
senator would move that the COM
mittee be instructed to present the
measure to the lawmakers.
81 have the right" Owen plainly
told O'Gorman, "to assume that the
resolution will be reported in rea-
sonable time"
The senator's generally are favor
able to prompt action. All who un-
derstood the situation fully seemed
to agree that nothing would be, gained
by delay.

SHUTTING DOWN ON
INVESTIGATIONS
BY BURTON X. STANDISH


Washington, April 1.-The light of
Democratic "pitiless publicity" is wan
ing. Legislators are not quite as anx-
ious to probe everything under the sun
from Esperanto to the "baseball trust
as they were once upon time.
Nevertheless the investigation epi.
demic remains sufficiently serious to
give the house rules committee serious
food for thought This mental pro-
cess has led them to the conclusion
that if this searchlight business con-
tinues, congress must resolve itself
into nothing more than a vast inquisi-
torial body. {-
Hence, the edict has gone forth from
the house rules committee that here
after the lid is on tight as far as in
vestigations are concerned. In order
to make good this edict the commit.
tee has pigeonholed no less than 43 in.
vestigation resolutions. Some of them
have had action, such as the Calumet
and Colorado strike probes under the
forceful effect of house caucus.
Then there has been probe Of Mul-
hall charges against the National AS.
sociation of Manufacturers and 9TH
ers. But the majority Of the 43 reso-
lutions introduced in this congress
have had no committee action and will
never again see the light of day, &C.
cording to authoritative information.
from the committee.
And the rules committee is a vastly
powerful body, their edict will 60,
unless group of Democrats, dis
gruntled by such course, force con
gress into action by the caucus route.
Every time some big question is be-
fore the public, flock of investigation
resolutions pour in upon the rules COM
mittee. I,
The 43 resolutions above mentioned
represent only separate subjects, but
the pigeonholes in the rule scommit-
tee room hide scores of duplicates.
Sometimes the investigation resolu.
tion is for the purpose of creating
political capital. The congressman sees
in a popular subject the chance t.
make himself solid with the folks back
home, and in goes a resolution. Any
thing of course that effects the price
of living is live wire subject for the
enterprising congressman, and even il
beefsteak or bread remains just as
high-or goes higher-Mr. Congress
man gets credit back in his district
for looking out for the plain folks
And they're the people who cast the
votes. MA
Probably, however, the majority Of
such resolutions do not arise solely
from the desire to get votes. Most of
the Investigations proposed have be-
hind them a vital public interest, or
condition in which publicity means
correction. 1As
The house rules committee, however,
now takes the position that the major
ity of the petitions cover subjects
which can readily be dealt with by
other branches of the government.
For instance there are now 'mpend-
ing, resolutions to investigate the
Rock Island railroad, the APere Mar
quette railroad, the Chicago, Duluth
and Minneapolis wheat markets. All Of

Old Lioness Tried to Aid Man-Vic-

CHICAGO, June % Emerson D.
Dietrich, Brooklyn manager of thea.
trical production presenting a troupe of
trained lions, was killed and partly de
voured here last night by six lions when
he entered the car in which they were
Gagged. While the keepers were trying
to recover Dietrich s body from the
beasts, a lion escaped from an adjoin-
ing cage and terrorized residents of the
thickly-populated quarter in which the
car stood. The escaped lion finally was
driven back to its car, having harmed
no one.
\ pike pole from the fire department
was used to draw Dietrich s body from
the lions after it had been sprinkled
with formaldehyde to drive the animals
away. George MeCord, keeper of the
lions, was unable to help Dietrich.
When he went into the den, Nc
Cord said, Teddy, the leader of the
attack against Dietrich, began to play
with MIN, and he told the beast to get
down. Four of the lions were facing
him. Finally Teddy skunk around be-
hind him and in a minute was on his
back. Four others leaped for him a
moment later, and | think his neck was
broken at once.
"Trilby, the oldest of the lions, tried
to save him, but the others pushed hei
away, and she quit and watched them
without joining in the attack. +"
The lions were owned by Nine. Adgie

to be married She said she had for
merly taken care of the animals her
self, and that none of them ever before

| She attributed the attack to the fac
| that the car was dark when Dietricl
| entered. Policemen armed with rifle

| The lions had become greatly excited
| and kept up an ineessant roaring, whicl
| attracted a great crowd. The car il
/ which they were kept was an ordinar,
