All Hands Join in Great Booster Event
Report of Interchange
Of Prisoners UnfOunded

That there was foundation of fact
contained in the report that CaleXlco
officials were planning an interchange
of prisoners with MeXicali officials
was denied this morning by District
Attorney Nichols, who investigated
the purported exchange Saturday ir
response to telegram from Goverhct
Hiram johnson. The wire from the
governor sets forth that it has been
reported that such a step was planned
and asks for an investigation.
"There never has been any inter.
change of prisoners between MeXicali
and CaleXico officers" District Att n
ney Nichols said this morning. "MeX-
Iicali officers may have delivered pris-
oners into the hands Of CaleXico of-
ficers, but as far as | have been aDie
to learn there has never been any mu-
tual exchange"
By persons who have followed the
trend of affairs closely of late, about
Mexicali, it is believed the warning
to the governor was instigated by Gar
ranzista sympathizers who fearcl
that if mutual exchange of prisoners
was effected, MeXicali officials wcu!d
be more than anxious to secure scra
of the political agitators who are
said to be fomenting revolution
against the present MeXicali admin
istration.
/ Another significant circumstance
which they connect with the whole af-
| fair, was the presence of the latc
Sheriff Meadows in MeXicali two days
before his death. While his presence
there pertained to the matter of stole1
horses, and had nothing whatever to
do with an exchange of prisoners. It
| is believed that close Carranzista
sympathizers and workers on this sid.
of the line construed the presence If
the sheriff to mean that plans for an
exchange We're under way.
The telegram to Governor Johnson,
they believe, was simply to foregtal!
any movement that would imperil he
| liberty Of the Carranzista leaders ON
this side of the line.
Ostensibly there is only a feeling
of amity between the CaleXico ana
MeXicali officers, although it Is = n
orally understood that the broaol
made some months ago over the alieg
ed refusal of CaleXico officials to i =
liver political refugees to the MeXi-
cali authorities, has never been en-
tirely closed.
The Mexicali authorities, so the re-
port states, were anxious to secure
several political refugees on this side
of the line, among them an American
who had planned an incursion into
Mexico for the purpose of insttuting
revolution. The Calexico Officers
are said to have flatly refused to le-
liver the alleged political refugee with
the result that strained relations have
sprung up between the police off ials
of the two towns.
Another angle to the whole affair,
it is believed by others, is caused by
the rumored gathering of many of
the MeXicans in the valley prepara-
tory to striking at the town of MeX-
icali for the Carranzista cause and
by personal enemies of the Mexican
administration, who are said to be
gathering an army to attack the town
to crafty sense of revenge The tel
cgram to the governor they believe,
might have originated from either of

The cars are constructed of steel, painted
