APPEAL IN CASE
OF WERNER HORN

Further Disclosures in Re-

Acts Expected.

Boston, Jan. 29.-The appeal of
Ger, In the matter of habeas corpus, is
to be argued in the United States cir
cult court of appeals here next Tues
day, and speculation is rife as to
whether there may be further DIS
closures at that time as to the Ger
man governments alleged connection
with the case.
Horn is under indictment on the
charge of attempting to dynamite the
railroad bridge over the St Croix
river. the international boundary be-
tween Maine and New Brunswick. on
Feb last. After Horn was arrested
in connection with the explosion the
question of jurisdiction arose and
while 1t was being determined Horn,
who was in custody at Vanceboro, Me-,
was sentenced to 80 days In Jail there
on the charge OF having defaced and
injured buildings In Vanceboro by the
shock of the explosion.
In March Horn, who was found to
be a German reservist, was indicted
in the federal court here on charges
that he transported explosives in pas
senger trains for the attempted de-
struction of the bridge. Soon after
ward he was brought to Boston for
trial in the federal court, but he re-
fused to plead and filed an appeal
from the decision, demanding his re-
lease on a habeas corpus writ on the
ground that his extradition from Maine
was not valid. An application for his
extradition from the United States to
Canada was filed by the British gov-
ernment, but never was granted.
Since the report of the correspon-
dence found in the baggage of Count
Won Papen. the former attache of the
German embassy in Washington, coun-
sci for Horn has contended that the
United States should drop the proseeu-
tion here on the ground there is evil
dence in the correspondence that the
act attributed to Horn was an act of
war and outside the right OF the Unit
ed States to prosecute According to
reports emanating from England.
where the baggage of Won Papen was
seized, the papers of the former Ger
man attache indicated that Horn was
in the employ of the German govern
ment and had received payments of
money from Won Papen.

WALL OF WATER IS
LET LOOSE BY BREAK

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 29.--At least so
persons were believed to have been
killed late Thursday when the lower
dam of the San Diego water system in
the Otay valley south of here broke un-
der the heavy pressure of the flood
waters. A wall of water 80 feet high
was released.
Sweeping down the valley the great
flood of water carried people. livestock
and valuable farm property to destruc-
tion. Scores of residents were missing
last night. Houses on 20 ranches were
swept away.
The first news of the disaster reached
here late yesterday There had been
no communication with the district
since the disaster occurred as all wires
were down and roads were impossible.
Rescuers were unable to reach the
scene of the disaster last night as all
bridges were washed out and the swol-
len streams were so treacherous that 1t
was impossible to launch boats to go
to the rescue.
Bodies Seen In Water.
Several bodies have been seen float
ing in the flood waters, according to
reports received hero.
Late reports said 25 moro Japanese
men, women and children had been
drowned.
An area 10 miles wide and two miles
long had been devastated.
The breaking of the dam released
thirteen million gallons of water which
rushed down through the thiclay pop
ulated and narrow Otay valley.
The property loss will amount to at
least s1.o00.000. Because of the fact
that they were isolated by the breaking
of the dam, which shut off any means
of reaching other communities. hun
dreds of families in the vicinity were
facing a food famine last night.
Heavy Rains the Cause.
The heavy rains OF the last few days
filled the lower Otay dam for the frst
time in its history.
Unable longer to withstand the ter
rifle weight of the water, the dam gave
way, releasing a flood of water.
Warnings of the impending danger of
the break had been given to the people
IN the valley. but few needed them, II
was stated Friday night, choosing TO
stay and endeavor to protect their
property.
Owing to tho lack of communication
and the impossible condition of the
roads, It was impossible to get details.
