Three and a Half Millions
Is Amount of the Loot

San Francisco, July 23.-Rrevised
figures compiled by L. R. Reynolds
auditor for the state railroad COM
mission, will show, when they are
presented at the next hearing before
the commission, July %, that the
total deficit of the United Railroads
is $3,5s9,O2O.
This is a reduction of $1,420,0OO
from the figures quoted Monday, and
the difference is accounted for by
dividends found to have been paid in
1906. The statement of funds miss
ing now stands:
Withdrawn by Calhoun, supposedly
for investment in Solano farms, ST.
O96,111; unaccounted for, $2,486,9O9;
total deficit, $3,5S3,O2O.
The most pressing problem con-
fronting President Lilienthal of the
United Railroads, and Frederick P
Van Worst, for the California Power
and Railway Company, one of the
holding companies which control the

Only Two Days IRsssszsaain
For Voters To Register

With only two days remaining in
which voters can register, there is
an increasing number appearing at
Country Clerk Cooks office, while the
many registration clerks in various
parts of the valley are busy.
Mr.. Cook said this morning that
in most of the districts of the coun-
ty the vote is fairly well registered,
hut in Ell Centric outside precinct re-
lance has been placed on the pec-
pie coming to his office, and there
are still a good many not yet reg

People are slow to realize that the
new primary is entirely different
from the old party primary, at which
few people voted. Now the primary

MODELLING TROOPS
TO SEND TO HAITI

Washington, July 23.-Plans fol
moblizing at least 1000 marines with
in striking distance of Haiti and the
Domiaican republic will move for
ward another step tomorrow with the
arrival Of the naval transport Prai-
RE at Guantanamo from Vera Cruz
The Prairie will bring the full com
plement of officers for the marines
already at Guantanamo and will re-
main there to transport the force to
Haiti should an emergency arise
while the Hancock is away for more
troops.
With these preparations President
Wilson's decision as to what action
the United States shall take to quell
the revolutions in the island republic
and satisfy the pressure of European
creditors will be awaited. War and
havy officials, confident that peace
can be restored on the island only by
the active intervention of the United
States, are perfecting their plans.
Recurring revolution in Haiti
threatening tremendous property
losses has led to renewal of discus
sion in administration circles of the
possibility of American intervention.
Small hope is held that the Haitians
will be able to put their government
in order.
The situation has reached such
stage that, under European pressure,
movement of the Guantanamo ma
rines into Haiti is a possibility.

Almost Revolution In
Great Russian Strike

Workmen in many trades have
joined in the movement.
Special precautions have been TAX

Raymond Poincare, in his movements
about the city.
Just outside the capital passen-
ger train on the coast line to Fin
land was held up by strikers, the en-
gineer was forced to quit the loco
motive under threat of being shot
and the passengers all were driven
out of the cars.
The strikers, who numbered 800,
then cut down the telegraph poles
and raised distractions on the tracks.
A detachment of Cossacks and gen.
darmes arrived and drove off the
wreckers. Traffic was resumed, but
every train was conveyed by loco
motive with armed escort.
At Riga the strike movement is
reported spreading and it is said 49,
600 men in that city have struck. In
many other cities in all parts of the
empire thousands of men are report
ed to have left their employment.

The abandonment of the initiative
petition is a victory, to be sure, but
if the referendum measure should
carry, the result for the marketmen
would be the same. They abandond
the initiative measure because they
could neither put it over, get enough
money to make a fight on it or make

fight to be waged on the referendum.

st. Petersburg, July 23.-The strike
situation in Russia took on a more
serious aspect today, when armed
conflicts occurred in the streets and
resulted in the wounding of many po-
lice, Cossacks and strikers.
Conflicts between the police and
Cossacks and the strikers occurred
in various parts Of the capital, and
the rattle of rifle fire was frequent.
Barricades were erected by the
strikers on Flugoff street, but the
police charged and captured the oh
structions without loss.
Similar strikes are reported from
Odessa, Revel, Baku and many other
cities.
The street car service in the Rus
sian capital has been suspended.
The employees of the General Street
Railway Company joined in the gen.
eral strike called by the workmen as

of the authorities at Baku and other
provincial towns against strikers

! There is so much excitement in the
coat and suit trade about the sweet
unreasonabeness of woman! Now *
( the busiest season and even the sew

and everybody would be happy if
womer would only Say right now in

ers stop their usually jovial life to
gather in knots and talk of the great
coat reform which ought to coma

suit trade is to wheel rapidly on the
heel and see after gyration has cease,l

ing and waiting for the edicts Of
Paris on this matter, for who would
ever dream of going counter to

there is no resemblance in style be.
tween the little coat and its long
drawn-out sister. Otherwise one
might cut off the long coats and
give the short ones a stretching.
One expert says that for the masses
perhaps medium length would do.
but for the fashionable and the ey-
elusive 48-inch coats are likely to be
rearer the vogue. And if the coats
are long, they will drive out the tu-
nic; but if short the tunic will still
be worn. Meanwhile this lack Of
standardization is making dull, also
carking, care gnaw into the JOY of
life for the coat and Asuie districts.

Appeal to Citizens to
Uphold Sanitation Law

The following appeal to the citizens
of Ell Centre is made by the health
department.:
"It is the earnest desire of the
health department of Ell Centro to
cooperate with every inhabitant in
the betterment of our sanitary condi-
tions.
therefore we kindly ask that each
one take it upon himself to do his
part.
"Let us try for an ideal city in
this respect.
"All complaints will be looked aft
er at the city hall.
"When necessary the ordinance
will be enforced, and no one should
complain to anyone but himself.
"Your attention is called to the
following sections of Ordinance No
65B Of the City of Ell Centre:
"Section III-The board of health
shall have power to act upon, define

constitute nuisance detrimental tc

Villa to Begin Coinage.

FL Paso, Tex, July 23.-General
Villa soon will begin coming silver
pesos for use in the territory he con-
trolls, if plans made known here are
not changed.
Lazaro de la Cara, financial agent
on the boarder for Villa, has been ap-
pointed to supervise the coinage OF
the money. He will superintend the
mining of silver for use in the mint
established by Villa.
The metal to be used will be Sc
cured from mines in Chihuahua which
have been confscated from MeXicans

parties will come to the two great
expos;tions by this route next year.
The importance of the road to the
valley as an advertising medium will
be immense, for each of the parties
passing over the road will enter from
the worst of deserts into the cult
waited area southeast of Holtville, or
northeast of Calexico, passing
through one of those towns, thence
through Ell Centre and Seeley and
Dixieland, on to San Diego, viewing
something like forty miles of the
richly cultivated valley. That this
will make an impression on the visi-
tors cannot be questioned, and it is
more than probable that hundreds of
the transient visitors will be led TO
return here to make investments or
to take up their residence, while the
people who make such tours are
necessarily of the class of energetic
men and women having some means,
and they will be a select class to
draw from.
Buc if they do not stay here, they
will carry the message of the val
ley widely over the world, and the
valley will still be greatly the gamer.
Another great benefit that will ac-
crue to the valley will be in the fact
that it will bring it in close touch
with the eastern end of the county,
en- the river, where there is growing
up settlement that looks to FL
Centre as its county seat, and in
which we must have greater interest
in future years.

Washington Is Trying
To Solve Mexican Riddle

Washington, July 23-Ambassador
Da Cana of Brazil, and Ministers
Suarez of Chile and Naon of Argen-
tine, the three mediators in the Men
lean sffair, appealed to President Will
son today to have the United States
use It's influence with Carranza to
obtain general amnesty for those
who supported the Huerta go !ern-
ment.
They told President Wilson that
Carbaial would not surrender rncon-
ditionally and that unless these
guarantees for the protection Of the
lives and property of those who sup
ported Huerta were given he woulG
concentrate all the military forces
and resist to the utmost any effort
to invade Mexico City.
1t was the first formal call cf the
three mediators since the conference
at Niagara Falls adjourned They
were accompanied by Secretary
Bryan, and for nearly an hour dis
Cussed the Mexican situation in :.ll
its phases.
They expressed the view that Car
| ajal was ready to turn over the
government to Carranza, but wanted
guarantees that there would not be
wholesale executions. arrests Or con-
fscation of property.

1t is now a certainty that the
planking of the road through the
sandhills will be done in the near fu-
ture
C. w. Barton yesterday received Il
letter from Colonel Ed Fletcher OF
San I'iego, saying the money for the
purchase of the lumber had all been
raised and the lumber would be
shipped as soon as asked for.
Mr.. Barton said the money to pay
the Height and lay the planking has
all been subscribed in the valley, and
there should be no further delay in
completing this last link in the great
southern highway
He was uncertain, however,
whether Supervisor Boyd would con-
slider it advisable to begin the work
until cooler weather comes, and thai
will be decided soon.
Some of the automobile publica-
tions have announced that the road
is already planked, and they place
considerable stress on this fact, for
this is the only bad stretch of road
on the route between the two oceans.
With the planking of this road
there will be consummated a scheme
for a great southern national high
way, which has been worked out
with remarkable zeal all across the
continent, and the Importance of the
road can hardly be overestimated.
This route is bound to become IA
