HERE'S NEW STORY
ON LOCAL MAN

A brand new story which, according
to Supervisor John Boyce of Calexico,
is spread upon the minutes of the
county board just came to light this
morning.
At recent meeting the board re
ceived communication from Albert
Durham, urging the board to change
the name of Newt Gray's Well, near
Holtville to "Waterville," according
to the supervisor.
Various members of the board
scanned the epistle and after it had
gone the rounds of the table Super
visor Beal of Brawley suggested that
the name Bull Durham Springs" be
substituted.
The name met with the hearty ap-
proval of the rest of the supervisors
and stuck
Supervisor Boyce says it is spread
upon the minutes.

DIRECTOR GENERAL
OF SAN DIEGO FAIR
HERE: LAUDS EXPO

II. o. Davis, director general of the
San Diego Exposition, arrived in FL
Centre last night Mr.. Davis came
over for the trip and incidentally to
look over his ranch near Seeley.
He was enthusiastic over the expo
sition.
"Ninety-five per cent of the tour
lists who come to the coast are stop
ping at San Diego to see the fair" he
said.
"The attendance is holding up to
our expectations now, but we expect
a slight dropping off toward the end
of the month. Many families from the
east who are spending the summer on
the coast will have to return to their
homes for the opening school and that
is going to have some effect on the
exposition.
"The crops in the east and middle
west are about laid uB' now and next
month we expect a great influx of
farmers at the fair.
"The Santa Fe Railroad is inaugu-
rating a new system of excursions
that ought to prove beneficial, both to
the two fairs and to all other sections
of the state.
"The Santa Fe is recruiting tourists

confidence in him, supposing he was
a friend Of the common man and that
he would keep his promise to divide
the lands among the people.
"With the killing of Benton there
began the break between Villa and
Carranza, and apparently from that
time on Villa has been degenerating
He gradually abandoned even the ap-
pearance of loyalty to the popular
cause and was soon trafficking in
concessions and doing business with
American SPECTATORS after the fash
ion of Diaz and Huerta. Now he is
absolutely out of the question so far
as any popular government is con-
cerned.
ARMED intervention is not the solu-
ton of the Mexican problem. 1t would
only result in armed resistance by all
Mexicans. No faction in Mexico will
welcome armed Intervention.

from all over the United States and
Vice President Chambers of the rail
road, who was in San Diego recently,
told me that the first of these eXcur-
sions will leave the east very soon.
"The railroad will arrange a price
for roundtrip ticket to the coast
and include stopovers at various
points. At these points the tourists
will be taken in automobiles over the
surrounding country which will enable
them to get first hand information
concerning the state.
Zone such excursion will include a
brief stop at Riverside, where the east
erner will be taken through the citrus
belt; another stop over at San Diego
to see the fair; then side trips in the
San Joaquin Valley, including a trip
through Bakersfield and the oil coun-
try, terminating at the San Francisco
exposition.
1--WE laid out preparations for the
opening of the San Diego fair well,
and we expect large attendance up
to the closing, New Years Eve.
"The exposition spent $4,000 in
advertising in q mediums and we feel
that the people are responding. A
number of these mediums were farm
publications and as soon as the last
crops have been harvested in the east
and middle west believe there will be
many farmers who will visit San
Diego.
"More people seem to be coming to
San Diego first than to the northern
exposition. Possibly that is account
ed for because of the fact that the
Santa Fe is hauling 65 per cent of the
coast-bound travel"
Mr.. Davis came to the valley accom-
panied by his 3 children, my kids"
he laughingly called them.
81 left them out near Seeley playing
in an irrigation ditch" he said.
He expects to be in the valley 2 or
8 days.

Galveston, Aug. 19.-One hundred
are known to be dead from the storm
that devastated this region. Port
Bolivar, a town of 1900 population,
was destroyed.
The lower coast reports claims of
heavy casualties, but this is unveri-
fled. Tracks are Uttered with tele-
graph poles and many buildings and
small vessels are gone. The property
loss is estimated at $lS,O0OO0O, that
in Galveston alone being $l5,OO0,O0O
A vast percentage of the Texas cotton
crop is total loss.

reported two-thirds of the causeway

Announcement of the appointment
by Federal Judge Bledsoe of Attorney
H. L. Welch as United States Court
Commissioner in Imperial county was
received here today from Los Angeles.
The appointment was made Saturday.
Attorney Welch, who has been
spending his vacation on the coast, is
expected to return within the next
10 days to assume the duties of his
office.
The position is an appointive one
and is made for a term of A years.
Commissioner Welch will hold court
in the county seat, where he will hear
all land matters, take depositions and
preside over Federal cases.
Nine years ago the office of court
commissioner became vacant with the
expiration of the term of F. G.
Hevens. Since that time land mat
ters have been heard either by
Superior Judge Cole or County Clerk
Major S. Cook.
Recently plans for establishing
land office for Imperial county at Ell
Centro were launched and later aban-
doned when it was found that the gov
ernment was decreasing rather than
increasing United States land offices.
Later interest in the office of court
commissioner was revived and 2 local

Washington, Aug. 19.-"Interven-
tion is not wanted by the laboring peo-
pie of Mexico!"
This is the declaration of Col
Edmundo E. Martinez, accredited rep
resentative of the Mexican Federation
of Labor, who has just arrived in
Washington for conference with
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor and to present
the Mexican labor cause to the adj
ministration in the hope that Presi-
dent Wilson may be persuaded not to
use any form Of armed Intervention,
but that he may recognize the Car
rama government and stop the inn
portation of arms to Villa, and if
necessary, to all belligerents in Mex
leo.
Here is a photograph" said Mar
tinez, (which will show you labor
demonstration that recently took place
before the headquarters of General
Carranza in Vera Cruz. The large
banner, which is conspicuous in the
picture, reads as follows: we are
not hungry, except for liberty. We
know how to work. we do not want
arms
"The occasion for that demonstra-
tion was the announcement that the
American Red Cross wished to enter
Mexico to feed the starving. The
stories of starvation are untrue. The
Mexican people are not starving. In
most of Mexico labor is going on and
conditions are, if not normal, far from
being what they are painted in the
United States. The evidences of war
are at the front on the firing line
only, and where the Carranza juris-
diction extends the government is well
organized, labor has been encouraged,
and the lands stolen from the people
have been returned to them.
"Here is a picture showing General
C. Aguilar, his secretary, and myself
at a conference which arranged for
the distribution of lands to the In
dams near Vera Cruz"
Col Martinez believes Villa to be
now backed by Wall Street, and he
fears that Wall Street is using pres
sure to affect the policies of the Amer
lean government.

sidized by Wall Street. said Mar
tinez. "He is getting large sums of
money in return for concessions. He
himself has become very wealthy

men were active applicants for the
billet.
Attorney Welch has been in the val
ley for the past years. For 2 years
he served as Deputy District Attorney
during the administration of District
Attorney Swing, being selected at the
time Attorney w. |. Wilson of Brawley
resigned from the office. After the
change in administration Attorney
Welch opened offices and resumed the
practice of law.
The office of court commissioner lis
based on fees only as no salary at
taches itself to the position.
In the past when applicants for
government land and those proving up
on homesteads desired hearing they
were compelled to take the matter be-
fore the land office at Los Angeles,
during the time when neither of the
officials authorized to preside over
land hearings were in the valley.
Such a move often implied consid-
cradle expense as the applicant in any
instance was obliged to take several
witnesses with him at his own 'ex-
pense.
The appointment of a court COM
missioner, however, obviates this for
the future and persons in the past who
have had to take their land hearings
to Los Angeles will now have to travel
no further than the county seat.

another as the work grew arduous,
according to the story told by one of
the inmates this morning.
No one was allowed to place any
mail in the hands of the officers be-
cause of the fear of those heading
the delivery that he might turn in
former.
The cries of two hopheads for a
physician, suffering agonies because
they had been deprived of nerve-sooth-
ing narcotics, were hushed by other
prisoners so that officers might not
come into the Jail to investigate anC
discover the torn brick wall.
Then as darkness fell the prisoners
lined up near the hole from which the
remaining lew bricks had been re
moved and while one man stood by
the door with an iron pipe poised to
denver a crushing blow upon the head
of an officer who might ven ure into
The Jail, another, likewise armey with
an iron pipe, paced up and down the
line of waiting men, eager for their
freedom, and maintained order.
Meriez was the last man to slip
through the hole before the discovery
was made by Deputy Sheriff Barker.
"All were not going to CO." one of
the prisoners said this morning.
"There were only few who were GO
ing to escape when the break in the
wall was discovered.
81 was just going to take a bath
when the first of those who escaped
were leaving. Are you going, too?'
] asked one man. He nodded his head
and, although he was trembling with
fright, he slipped through the hole
and disappeared.
Who the ringleaders in the break
were could not be learned. II don't
dare tell" one of the prisoners said
this morning. 81 wouldn't be safe in
here if | did"
This is the second break that has
taken place in the last six months.
The former attack was made on the
wall from the top of the tanks. This
time, however, point about feet
from the floor was selected and the
iron pipe tore easily through
the plaster, then through a tangled
mesh-of wire between the plaster and
the bricks and then bit into the
masonry.
All the inmates of the Jail, about
16 of them, are confined in the steel
tanks, while bricklayers are repairing
the damaged wall.
Additional implements used in dis
placing the masonry from the Jail wall
were discovered by officers last night.
A heavy iron spoon, bent scoop shape
and sharpened at the end of the bowl
was used in scraping out mortar that
had been displaced by long strip of
iron, with the end bent
into a point.
To Break Wall
Is Felony
Those prisoners who simply used the
hole in the wall to escape are deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, while those
who actually participated in the dis
placing of the masonry are liable to
prosecution on felony charge, if it is
ever discovered who did the digging.
Under the charge of simple escape,
prisoner is liable to months impris-
in the county Jail as a maxi
mum penalty while under the charg.
of destroying part of the building tc
escape a prisoner may receive a peni-
sentence.
Sheriff Applestill and Deputy Sher-
iff Kendrick, after a search that last
ed all night and up to a late hour
this afternoon, returned without hav-
ing found any trace of Oscar Burns.
