The new interstate highway bridge
across the Colorado river at Yuma,
Arr, was completed and thrown open
to traffic on April Is, 1915. 1t will
lie dedicated to public use ON Sunday
afternoon, May %, 1918, at the con-
cmsion of a two days celebration COM
memorative of the event.
The bridge is a model and modern
steel structure erected by the Omaha
Structural Iron Works OF Omaha,
Neb., at total cost of $4,000. Of
the cost the State of Arizona and the
federal government bore $4,000 each,
and the people of California raised by
private subscription like sum The
City of Yuma contributed 81 200.
The bridge swings between Peniten-
tiary Hill on the Arizona side of the
river and Fort Yuma hill ON the
California side, at a point where the
river is forced through narrow
gorge. A single span of 387 feet
reaches across this turbulent stream.
The bridge is a very beautiful struc-
ture and from its promenade a mag
nificent view of all of the surround
ing country may be had.
This is the first highway bridge
built across the Colorado river in all
its length. Its completion marks an
epoch in the construction of national
highway across the south part of the
United tSates, as at this point the
Rorderland highway, the Ocean-to-
Ocean highway and the Southern Ma
tional highway converge and all cross
the Colorado at Yuma.
At the dedication Governor Hiram
Johnson of California, Governor Hunt
Of Arizona and many distinguished
state and county officials of the two

May Delay Reply.
(By Carl Ackerman)

Berlin, May 1s (Via The Hague and
London)-Germany may not reply to
the American note this week, as the
serious Italian situation is focusing
official attention and the American
situation is now secondary. The for
elgn office has announced that the
entire matter of American negotia-
tions is in the hands of Chancellor
Won Bethmann-H Hollweg.
Hollweg's draft of his reply to the
American note probably will be gone
over carefully by the Kaiser. SO far
as is learned today, not even a ten
tative draft has yet been made. 1t is
generally accepted that there will be
lull in submarine activities until the
reply is presented

MINIONS OF LAW
HALE % VIOLATORS;

The arrest of 22 persons, drivers
of vehicles of both the horseless and
horse variety, who ventured upon the
streets last night without first pro
viding the red light which winks 4
warning to other vehicles travelling
in the same direction. was the sum
total of a crusade against violators
of the city ordinance that governs the
compartment of traffic.
The offenders will appear before
Justice of the Peace Mayfield at 2
this afternoon, when they will be af-
forded an opportunity to explain away
the embarrassing situation.
Some of the violators who, after
appearing at the city hall and being
acquainted of the hearing at 2 this
afternoon, have reported pressing en-
Eagements" at that hour and hurried
away in quest of the justice.
1t is anticipated the usual excuses
will be offered this afternoon.
OF the % persons arrested last
night, complaints were filed against
16, and these were assessed SIS each
by Justice of the Peace Mayfield. AL
though the time-honored excuses were
largely in evidence, many of the of
tenders admitted their negligence and
paid their fine without protest.
/ All the arrests were made by City
/ Marshal McFadden.

SALARIES WILL BE
DISCUSSED FRIDAY

The announcement yesterday after
noon r. County Superintendent of
Schools 7 Shibley of a meeting
next Friday of seven trustees from
various elementary and high school
districts in the covnrr, as a sequel
to meeting of IL aoard of super
visors held recent with view to low
ering the rates T teachers employed
by the county has given rise to soma
speculation as TO what the outcome Of
the conference will be.
Az the meeting, the question of pur-
chasing school supplies for all the
schools in the county will come in for
its share of discussion and it has been
stated by persons conversant with
educational conditions that the out
come of this question is as problem
atical as is the outcome of the uniform
salary propaganda.
In contention of the improbability
of establishing a uniform salary for
/ teachers, it is stated that the salaries
of teachers II various districts vary
with the diversity of local condition.
and. further, that some districts, in
a spirit of economy, employ teachers
who have not attained the degree of
efficiency which is usually concomi-
tant with educators who request a
higher salary.
The much-mooted high cost of liv-
ing is another factor which, it is ar
gued. must control the salaries which
teachers receive. Conditions vary IN
many of the school districts, as does
the cost of living, and the salary of
the teacher in some cases is contingent
upon this point.
In other districts higher standard
/ of efficiency is maintained and the
trustees employ only teachers who ex-
eel as educators.
The solution of the problem of pur-
chasing the school supplies, it is said,
probably will give rise to dissension.
At present the supplies for each dis
trict are purchased by the trustees of
that district, and whether the 81 school
districts in the county will consent
tc have the purchasing of their sup
plies removed from their jurisdiction
is problematical.
The committee which will meet next
Friday to discuss there two questions
and which has been selected from both
the elementary and high school dis
tricts, is as follows:
j. L. Travers, Ell Centro district;
w. E. Wilsie, Eucalyptus district; Mrs.
Fanny Thompson, Verde district; C.
NJ. Cobleigh, Elm District; Mrs. L. j.
Varney, Acacia district; j. f. Peck.
Calexico Union High School district;
E. A. Nance, Imperial district and I'M
perial Union High School district.
The meeting will be held at the
court house.
