Four Americans Seized at
Ensenada in MeXicali Jail

MeNicdn. the third member of the
party were arrested. They remained
imprisoned for nearly . weeks before
they were brought To MeXican.
Judd Tripp, well known all over the
valley as cattle dealer, said yes
tcrday that he did not know what he
would be charged with unless MeXicali
officials preferred charges of carrying
a weapon against him.
SO far as could be learned today,
the men are in Jail and no charge has
been filed against them. 1t was sus-
pected yesterday that the men had been
picked up by soldiers because they
had failed to pay duty on the horses
and the supplies they carried with
them when they crossed the line at
Jacumba.
Two other Americans, said to have
been brought up from Ensenada at the
same time the Trip brothers and the
Mexican who was arrested with them
were brought to MeXicali, are in jail
at the Mexican town. One of them
the Mexican authorities nave been
looking for for 3 years, one of the
lMexicali officials said yesterday.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-11-05

Efforts yesterday to secure the re
lease of Jud Tripp, Pete Tfipp and "A
Mexican who accompanied them on a
trip to Ensenada, who nave been in
Mexican jail for nearly weeks
were in vain. Constable {. {. ToneN
and |. A. Morgan visited the trio at
the Mexicali Jail yesterday and at the
end of their conversation the prison n-
ers were returned to their cells. At
torney j. +. seymour, who has been
seeking to secure their release for the
last couple of days, said this morn %
ing that the trio had been held in
communicate until Mexican officials
had talked with them.
Three weeks ago they crossed the
international boundary line at Jacum
ba. headed for Ensenada, where they
intended to buy cattle. Two OF then
were mounted on horses and the third
on a mule, while mules carried their
supplies
Near Ensenada they became separ-
ated and Judd Tripp was the first OF
the trio to be arrested. lie was taken
TO Fnsenada and had been in jail only
a short time before his brother and the

Next Years Cotton Acreage
Predicted To Be $4,000 Acres

from the seed embodies a system of
rollers and the fibre is separated from
the seed by means of Il friction in
stead of a combing process.
In spite Of the fact that Egyptian
cotton will grow well in the valley
comparatively little has ever been
grown here. Several years ago North
End man raised a crop of about 4
bales and after holding il for a con
siderable period finally sold il for Il
cents a pound.
Reports from the Holtville district
indicate that there is going to be n
large acreage of cotton in that section
next year. A number of the large
landholders there have leased their
land to Hindus, who will devote the
! land solely to cotton.
Land is bringing a higher rent this
year, it is reported. and some Of the
landowners in the East Side district
have leased their land for a period of
years at SO an acre, part of il in
cash and the remainder secured by n
crop mortgage.
1t Is reported that some alfalfa fields
there are being plowed up, to be plant
ed to cotton. One man said he had .
teams engaged in that work.
Cotton men agree that the present
Ilull in the cotton market is only TEN
porary and is due to the absence Of
exporters from the market 1t is be
ilieved that the condition of the mar
ket may be restored practically over
night. once the exporters begin To buy
again. The largest part of the cotton
that is being sent out of this country
is going to England.
Paul DAILY expressed the opinion thai
the reopening of the Panama cana
would have little effect on the market
generally, only n few local shipments
being directly Influenced.
u believe that eventually cotton and
Idairying are going to be the import
ant industries of the valley" he said
"The cottonsced meal will be used
TO feed dairy stock and, while grazing
of stock cannot be as gradual under
those conditions as it is now, there
will be much stock brought to the val
lev. TO be fed on cottonseed, for tbs
market"

AERIAL NT"TNCI> ON SHIPS
NEW PLAN or GERMANY

London, Nov. Germany appears to
be trying a new method of attack on
British merchantmen with aeroplanes.
The Cork steamer Avocet, which has
arrived at Manchester. tells a story of
35-minute engagement with 3 hostile
aeroplanes at II o'clock on the morn
ing of October so. One of the aero
planes was large battle plane and
dropped sc bombs, some of which
missed the steamer by not more than
feet.
when the bombs were exhausted the
battle plane fired ON the Avocct with
machine gun. The ships sides and
deck were struck with bullets, but the
crew escaped injury.
At height of from 500 to 900 feet
all the aeroplanes dropped bombs and
attacked the steamer with rifles. The
Avocet's escape was due to zigzag ma
neuverng and to the fact that the
aeroplanes dared not fly lower.

With the cotton acreage now at its
height, cotton men are predicting that
the acreage OF cotton to be planted
for next season, including the acre
age ON both sides of the line, will reach
somewhere in the neighb hborhood of So
600 acres. The present acreage is be
tween $4,000 and $4,000 acres, and the
largest part of that cotton land is on
the Mexican side Of the line.
The collapse of the market last year
drove growers who controlled 10000
acres out of the industry, but the pre-
dictions of an increase of almost 40
per cent for next year indicates that
these growers, and more, will engage
in the industry.
Paul DAILY, of the firm of DAILY Bros,
local cotton buyers, expressed the
opinion yesterday that the increase of
cotton acreage ON this side of the line
would be made largely by small grow
ers, with a few exceptions. About
5000 acres he said, would be devoted
to cotton for the coming year in the
Imperial district and a like acreage
in the vicinity of Calipatria. Five
thousand acres it is reported, Will be
planted to barley in the North End
district and when the grain has been
harvested it will be replanted to cot
ton.
At the present time it is known that
1000 acres in Mexico, besides the
acreage this year, are to be devoted
to cotton next year. Probably the
largest single acreage of the new cot
ton land is an 11,000-acrc tract the
rest being split up into tracts of 1000
acres and larger.
Short staple cotton is largely in the
majority. There are a few scattered
patches of long staple cotton, while
practically no Egyptian cotton is be
ing raised this year.
Mr. Daily attributed this to the fact
that Egyptian cotton is hard to pick
it requires a special gin and then th'
price that 1t brings is not n whole lot
more than short staple.
There is not a gin i'm the county, he
said, that is adapted to handle Egyp-
tian cotton, the nearest one being a
Phoenix. The gin in which that par
ticular kind of cotton is separated

Hunger In Germany.

New York, Nov. 5.-There ie much
surprise at the freedom with which
German newspapers are discussing the
food situation in Germany and Aus
tria. 1t is openly admitted in these
discussions that the British blockade
has brought about a degree Of depri-
walton that is a serious menace. and
that - is becoming a necessity for
the Teutons to break through the en-
circling forces to reach new food sup
plies.
As il is more than half-year be
fore anything in the way of new
harvest can replenish the food supply,
it seems that a failure of the Central
Powers to open free communications
with the outside world must threaten
starvation Of the central nations.
This condition is expected to force the
most desperate fighting of the whole
war.

International law occupied the cen
ter The stage today in the second
day of the suit instituted by the Car
rama de facto government for the
possession of money, said to aggre-
gate 100000, deposited in . Calexico
banks by Esteban Cantu. governor of
Lower California.
The arguments Of Attorney Walter
p. <ibbey, associated with Attorney
Dan 'Noland and d. l.. Ault, represent
ing Cantu, lasted almost the entire
session of court this morning.
He pointed out that Cantu had n
right to the money, taking the stand
that The Hague treaty provides that
military occupants must protect the
people and maintain a government as
far as possible. and TO do this the
money necessary to pay the soldiers
may be raised by taxes or the mill
tary occupants may even confiscat @
property.
He argued that it has been held that
even in civil war this principle was
recognized.
Frequent references 10 The Hague
treaty and quotations from it We're
contained in the brief that Attorney
Kibbey read this morning. and super
ior Judge Cole was presented with a
copy of the treaty at the opening of
Attorney Kibbey's arguments.
The attorney for Cantu read volu-
minous brief containing an excerpt
from The Hague Convention of 1907
which provides that the authority of
the legitimate power being in fact,
passed into the hands of the occupant
the latter shall take all the measures
in his power TO restore and insure, as
far as possible, public order and safe
ty, while respecting, unless absolutely
prevented the laws in force in the
country"

ments of Attorney Kibbey At one
