donor obtained his name on the quilt for
30 cents.
When completed, the quilt will be pre-
scented TO the parsonage of the church.

ARRESTS FOR EXPLOSION
MAY INCLUDE PRESIDENTS

New York, Aug. ARRESTS of
ligher-ups in the $2O,OOO,OOO explosion
on Black Tom peninsula are expected
as a result of long night conference
between Prosecutor Hudspeth and
Commissioner of Public Safety Hague
of Jersey City. According to these
officials, at least two presidents of
railroads with Jersey City terminals
are concerned,
These officials, before the expect
ed arrests today, refused to say
whether the men would be charged
with manslaughter, as were the three
men arraigned and held in $4,000 bail
yesterday, or whether they would
merely be charged with violation Of
the statutes regulating shipment and
storing Of ammunition and explosives.
E. l.. Mckenzie, president of the
National Storage Company, was ar
rested shortly before noon on a
charge of manslaughter. He will be
arraigned before Judge Sullivan of
Jersey City and probably be admitted
to bail.
Prosecutor Hudspeth's proposed re-
quests for warrants follows 24-hour
investigation which showed that ap-
proXimately 100000 pounds of ex-
p.osives are handled at the Black Tom
peninsula and in the Jersey Central
yards nearby daily. From Hudspeth's
figures and those furnished by w. S.

Injunction Delays
Work on the Wier

The Superior Court of Yuma county has issued an in
junction against the building of the trestle dam
the Colorado river Hanon and thereby further delay
in restoring normal water supply has resulted
The weir built last year by Engineer Allison had no
trestle and rock At the time it was built there was
less than half the present water in the Colorado but the
canal having been permitted to silt during the last year
less water the canal when the river is dischargng
$4,000 second feet than did last year when dschargng
10000 second-feet.
This neglect of the canal has made necessary to put
in wer with much bigger river than last year. and the
type of weir could not be built in the larger stream
The fact was recognized that the Reclamation Serv
ice and the people Of Yuma probably would oppose weir
of the nature made necessary by the stedup CANAL and
there tacit understanding that nothing should be
published regarding the nature of the weir to invite op
position to it, Possibly not knowing Of that understand
ing the Caexco Chronicle gave account of the work to
be DONE and the other newspapers of the Valley then pub
It is not probable this made any difference as the
people of Yuma and the Reclamation Service were alert
to prevent the work.
The opposition to the weir rests on the belief that
is menace to the evees on both sides of the river
Attorney Conkling learned from Engineer Tom Hind

with the Injunction and Conking at left for Yuma

Mr.. CoIking in hopes that not more than a
weeks delay would result from the Injunction but he
could give no assurance this point.
The river had risen last evening to 1874, thus bring
ing the supply of water fer the valley about to the level
Of ten daysago but reports from Needles of fall in the
river do not give much hope of the river remaining long
at it's present level at Yuma

the water would be foot and half deeper than it is,
and there would be little or no shortage.
