CONKLING RESIGNS s

that the petition for the recall of Mr..
Hamilton was insufficient.
The statute under which we are
working with respect to the recall
provides that any insufTiciency of
form or substance in the statement of
facts contained in a recall petition
shall not invalidate the petition. AS to
the other matters however. contained
in the law it is perfectly apparent
that no ten or fifteen per cent of the
voting population is entitled to put
tion unless they comply with the law
and do all Of the things required by
the law. AS to those matters Judge
Haines himself advised your Board
over a year ago that certain parts of
the proceedings for the recall of Off
GERS were absolutely jurisdictional
and unless they were properly taken
the petition was an absolute nullity.
1T is perfectly apparent that unless
those things are done which the stat
ute absolutely requires even if you
were to hold an election the election
would still be a nullity and no mat
ter how many persons voted for the
recall nothing whatever would be ac-
complished. Mr.. Hamilton's term will
not expire for something over two
years. Should a recall election be
held under proceedings which do not
comply with the law and should ma
jority of the votes be cast in favor
of his recall, Mr. Hamilton would still
be the legal director of the Irrigation

whether or not a legal election was
held under this petition the attorney
for the bond buyer or money lender
would not pass the same. While
! therefore the matter of having a cor
rect petition in all respects is one
which can be very easily corrected
now, if it is not corrected now it may
cause dire consequences hereafter If
L had allowed this petition to go
through and hereafter some person
with whom the District had financial
dealings should call the matter in
question to your serious inconven-
ience, the blame would have been
placed upon me by you in no uncer-
tain language.
care nothing for the criticisms of
the eminent attorneys who appeared
before you last Tuesday and assured
you that l was wrong. Attorneys who
have regulations that are worth while
will argue their cases in the Court in
stead of leading or haranguing a mob
| confess that have not sought to be
of any assistance to the persons who
are seeking this particular recall. So
long as Mr.. Hamilton has been con-
fined to his bed and unable to defend
himself against the cowardly assassi-
nation of character that has been go
ing on on our streets from day to day
l have felt that there was no moral
right to have an election and certain
ly no moral or legal obligation upon
me to help it out. However having
called your attention to the matter |
feel that my entire duty is certainly
done and that even if an election is
held and even if a majority OF the
votes are cast against Mr.. Hamilton
that Mr.. Hamilton will still be direc-
tor of the Irrigation District. If the
recalIers desire to proceed under
those circumstances and you feel that
it is safe it is no personal concern OF
mine. Let the election come.
In this connection, however, l have
been trying for about year to have
my resignation accepted as attorney
for the District. 1t seemed however
that there was always some important
legal matter concerning which the
Districts interests might suffer if un-
familiar hands took the matter up SO
that my employment has been contiH-
ued from month to month upon the in
sistence of the majority OF your
Board. l want to be free from any
entangling employment with the Dis
trict that l may be free to voice my
cwn opinion and sentiment as a land
owner and farmer in Imperial 1rriSa-
tion District. l am firmly convinced
that it is essential that the policies OF
a majority of your Board should be
carried out during the ensuing year II
we are not to have another water
shortage. In discussing this matter
during the next month or so and es-
pecially during the recall campaign
that is inevitable sooner or later l
shall not wish to speak as attorney
for Imperial Irrigation District but to
speak solely for myself. l insist that
my resignation shall take effect Octo-
Ber 1st, and advise you that it is nee
essary that you Immediately employ
an attorney to take care of pending
litigation. | VIII be glad to be OF
any service to my successor in max
ing him acquainted with the situation
OF our affairs.

of utter helplessness, the best indica- tion of which is found in the fact that after the sale to the British purchase bureau of S0,0000 carloads of wheat, Rumania now has been obliged to seel to the central powers 100000 carloads of mixed cereals.
 A British transaction had the full sanction of the Rumanian government but the pressure eXerted by M. Mar giloman and his party has robbed the contract of many of the advantages which it had to the British.
 It is no longer a secret that the Ru mainian army has ammunition for two months if the demands upon it's store are not too great It is feared there fore, that any attempt to import more ammunition now, no matter from what country, would be disastrous, because either side could bounce upon Rumania before any quantity of ammunition had been received. In that event, say Ru- mania statesmen of any political party Rumania, would be sure to share the fate of Serbia and Belgium
 | Nobody expected that anything short of a military cataclysm will array Ru- mania on either side in the war. Ever i the retirement of Premier Bratiano must not, and some say it would not change these conditions.

 Its a fine thing that men of your type have manifested so much inter- est in the work of preparedness" as serted General Wood. "The time has come when, the people of this coun try stand in the most need of pre- paredness. We have been complacent- ly relying on a false impression pro- duced by our school books history which nave never told the truth about our wars and our military achieve ments. These histories have glosseG over cur failures and exaggerated our successes; in fact, so magnified them that we have come to believe we are unconquerable as a nation"

 According to Rome dispatches, the Italian government has not yet de- cided whether it will yield to the popular demand for a war with Ger many. The Italian newspapers as sert that the Italian cabinet council yesterday voted to make a declara- tion on the subject in parliament. only fl the government was pressed to do so.

railroad commission, of which Lieuten- ant Governor Eshleman was formerly president, left here tonight for Los Angeles to aid in the making of funeral arrangements for the late official The railroad commissioners will leave here in a body tomorrow to attend the fu- neral.
 Governor Hiram W. Johnson, it was said tonight, would attend the funeral.
 Expressions of deepest regret from men of all political faiths, who had worked with or against Jack" Eshle- man, were heard universally today in connection with the news of his death.
 Publicly the fame of Lieutenant Governor Eshleman rested upon his political accomplishments. His greatest public work was. perhaps, the public utilities act of 1911. which he and Max Thelen, now president of the railroad commission, prepared, and which Esh- leman as president of the commission interpreted He definitely left the im- press of his economic doctrines upon the policy of the commission. He also sponsored, as an assemblyman, a bill abolishing track gambling. and a child labor bill.
 Although it was his public service l that brought him prominence, it was ! his personal attainments, character and knowledge of the man himself that ! brought to him many loving friends 1 His life was a struggle not only against those things as lay in his path be-

He dared to essay a thin spot on an ice pond where he was skating back in Illinois. He fell through and the icy wetting he re- ceived brought on pneumonia, which left his lungs impaired. Without money he left home for the west and settled in Southern California to recover his health and to make his fortune. Sue oessively he picked oranges, cooked in T camp, and swung a pick as a track laborer. Then he went to college, the University of California, attained great recognition for his scholarship and be- l came a member of the faculty. He was in political life two years after he was graduated.
 ] He was a student of the classics and l was wont to apply to present day eco homie problems the philosophy of 1 Aristotle, Socrates, Plato and Kant. IT

Acosta Heads Mexican Band

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Feb 2S.-Colonel Jose N. Acosta, who formerly was as- sociated with Jose Maytorena, former Villa governor of Sonora, Mex, headed the band of MeXicans which CarranZa secret service men reported crossed in to Sonora from the American side last night, according to reports received here tonight
 He was said to have following oi about forty men, although the Carran- ga agents said there were only fifteer mounted and well armed Mexicans il the band, which, they asserted crossed the border at a point near here. No tract of the party has been found by troops of the de facto Mexican gov ernment that had been sent to locate them, according to last reports received at Agua Prieta, the Mexican town op- posite here.
