Governor Cantu Asked
To Release Delgado

Calexico Chronicle: Jose Delgado,
employed at odd times by the local
United States customs office, is in the
Mexicali cuartel as result of being
arrested last week by Governor Can
tu's officers. Deleado, resident OF
Calexico and said to be an American
citizen, had appealed to Captain
George Van Horne Moseley of the
United States army and stationed in
this city.
Captain Mosely forwarded a note
to Governor Cantu today, and it is
believed that Delgado will be released.
Captain Mosely is not acting in an
official capacity, hut, being well ac-
ouainted with the governor, consented

if has developed surprising accuracy.
This gun makes it possible to hurl a
proiectile containing 25O-pound
charge of guncotton at an enemy from
a height of a mile or more.
The sights make allowance, not only
for distance, but for the speed of the
aeroplane, which may reach rs miles
AN hour, throttling down to 40 miles
for landing.
A bomb dropped from an aeroplane
travelling a mile minute does not
fall on the spot over which it is re
leased. 1t touches the earth at dis
tance from the spot determined by
the height at which it was dropped.
1t often falls a quarter of mile
away.
Built to lift ton and half be-
sides its own weight, which is nearly
2 tons, the big biplane is expected
to have lifting capacity in explosives
of a ton. This is in addition to the
necessary fuel and oil for flight of
6 hours and the weight of 2 or 3
men.
The bomb tube is of light steel. 1t
will be fired through an opening in
the bottom of the aeroplane body OF
car. Compressed air will supply the
"kick" behind the bomb as it leaves
the aeroplane, and the force of grav-
ity will take care of it thereafter as
Il plunges at the target.
The Curtiss aircraft gets its great

plane wings, and motors of 16O
horsepower each, the largest in use
On this side of the Atlantic. Its wings
spread nearly 100 feet from tip to
tip and measure feet across. The
upper plane is nearly 10 feet above
the lower wings.
1t is gratifying to American avi-
alton enthusiasts that the biplane
form invented by the Wright brothers
has been found most effective for mil
itary work in the war largely owing
to big lifting power.
Each of the motors swings pro-
peller on either side in front of the
car.
The "big sticks" as the pilots call
them, are each 1-28 feet long. They
turn 1,2O0 times a minute at full
speed, and their tips cover about 7
miles in that time.
If the airmen wish to make call
on the Kaiser at Berlin the lifting
capacity of the big "pusher," as the
constructors call it, will enable them
to do so.
From the fighting line in France
to the German capital and back again
is little more than 900 miles, and
would require about 1000 pounds of
gasoline for the flight of IL hours.
The aviators would still have room
aboard with them for about 1,00O
pounds of guncotton or dynamite
bombs, to be presented with theil
compliments.
The big biplane is not designed fol

1t may not be exactly a matter OF
good faith, but it ia a close approx
nation to it, that all Imperial county
should cooperate With CaleXico to Sc
cure the building of the State High
way by way of Bonds Corner, unless
some serious unknown obstacle has
developed to that route.
Evidently the supervisors did not
feel that way yesterday when they re-
fused to pass a resolution favorinp
the Bonds Corner route, the vote
standing: Boyce and Beal for the res
olution, and Shepard, Carr and Shaw
against.
The history of the effort for an
outlet to the east is that CaleXico has
worked strenuously with Holtville and
FL Centre, on the basis of having =
highway that would pass through
Brawley, Imperial, Ell Centre and
Holtville and, by passing Bonds Cor
ner, approach near enough to CaleX-
leo for that city to share in the
benefit.
1t is understood that another route
may be adopted which will not be so
favorable to CaleXlco.
The resolution presented to the su-
pervisors yesterday had previously
been endorsed by the Farmers and
Merchants Club of CaleXico, and was
as follows:
Whereas, it has been definitely an
nounced by the state administration
and highway commission that a high
way is to be Immediately constructed
outside of the irrigated area in I'm
periai county between Mecca and Yu-
ma, via FL Centre, and
"Whereas, the distance from the
nearest point outside of the irrigated
area due east of Bonds Corner to the
well at the west limit of the Sand
hills Ga point which any route must
pass) is less than any other proposed
route; and
Whereas, the only reasons ad-
vanced for a different routing of this
highway are made by one of the en-
gineers of the highway commission
and are largely professional and tech
nical, and not vital from either an
engineering or financial point of view,
and
Whereas, the county engineer has
advised this board that it is just as
Imperial Valley press., 1915-09-08

to use his influence in having Delgado
restored to liberty.
While Delgado and Customs Inspec-
tor Fred Buck were out at Seven
Foot Drop last week. Delgado engaged
in conversation with several Mexican
line riders who were just across the
border. According to the report, it
is stated that the line riders returned
to Mexicali and informed Governor
Cantu that Delgado was spying on
the Mexicans while at the Seven-foot
Drop. On Delgado's next trip to Mex
icali he was arrested and jailed as a
spy. Mrs. Delgado appealed to Gov
ernor Cantu yesterday, but did not re-
ceive much satisfaction.

Toronto. Ont, Sept. 6.-Think of
shooting an aerial torpedo equal in
power to that which sank the Lusi-
tania, into the Krupp works at Es-
sen, the Zeppelin factory at Fried
richshafen or the big German supply
station and fleet at CuXhaven.
The giant biplane that Glenn H.
Curtiss is building here for the Brit
ish army will be able to carry at least
8 such projectiles in long flights in
vading German territory.
The bombardments which the Brit
ish flying officers expect to accom-
plish with this machine would make
previous aerial attacks on German
posts seem like exhibitions OF fire
works by comparison.
Up to this time 100 pounds has
leen the limit of weight of the bombs
dropped from aeroplanes of the small
military types in service on both
sides. Three or four such bombs eX-
bausted the carrying capacity OF the
machine when added to the weight OF
men and gasoline.
Aiming the bomD has been mat
ter for guessing. The accurate range
finding and sighting instruments
used by artillerymen on ship and
shore have not come into use among
aviators, chiefly because the loads
they carry have not permitted it.
One of the principal features OF
Britain's giant flying machine will be
a bomb gun. Its details are a mill

fighting other aircraft, but her vita
parts will be protected by light ar
NOR that will resist rifle bullets. She
may also have a small rapid fire gun
for protection.
In her raids several smaller high
speed aeroplanes, armed for encoun-
ter for other aircraft, will go with
her to keep the aerial sharpshootei
with rifle and machine gun at safe
distance.
In appearance the giant will much
resemble the America, built last year
for the Rodman Wanamaker trans
atlantic expedition and later sold to
England. The success of the Amer
lea brought the order for the big
machine, which is nearly 80 per cent
larger than the America and has
twice her engine power.
Instead of boat for use in alight
ing on the water, the new craft has
a wheeled carriage of massive frame
for use on land. Men and fuel tanks
explosives, instruments and guns will
be sheltered in an enclosed body al
feet long, resembling "a torpedo ir
shape, set between the upper anc
lower planes.
The new aircraft now being put to
gether here was designed and bull
largely in the United States by Amer
leans, though assembled here.
It's success will aid in restoring th'
leading place in aviation to the Unit
ed States, the birthplace of the new
science.

EXPERTS TAKE MORGAN COUNTY BY STORM

Decatur, February 5.-1(Speclal 1.-The party of diversified crop experts. sent out by the Chamber of Commerce of Bir- mingham invaded this county today and took Morgan by storm. One party came to Decatur and went out from here, while the other party stopped off at Hartselle, and went out over the rural sections from that point. Thus the county was pretty well covered in one day. At all places the advocates of diversified farming were met by good sized crowds and there was much interest manifested in the meet ings held
 The party which came to Decatur was | in charge of q committee from the De catur Chamber of Commerce. of which committee Secretary Thomas E. Pride was chairman. This party delivered | speeches as follows: Decatur public schoo | building at 10:50 a. m.; New Decatur Higf 1 school at 1 D. m: Trinity at 1 D. m. | Simpsons at 2:30 and at the county court | house in Decatur tonight at 7:30. 1 The speakers were taken to Simpsons | a beautiful drive of seven miles. ove | one of Morgan countys new pike roads | fin automobiles. They were to have gon'
