Marines Guarding
 Flooded District
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE COMMITTEE IN CHARGE OF RELIEF WORK IS- SUES AN APPEAL FOR SUM OF $100,000.
By Associated Press.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 3l. - United States marines reported that they caught four white men footing in the Otay valley. Two were lodged with the civil authorities and the others driven from the district at the point of bayonets. Sheriff Conklin, who re- turned today from the Otay and Tia Juana valleys, reported that the ser vices of himself and deputies were not needed as the naval forces' were ample to copy with any emergency. He declared that the reports of arm ed Mexicans engaged in footing were exaggerated No further casualties were reported and no more identiica- tions.
 The amount of wreckage and de bris in San Diego bay has impaired the water system here and caused the city council to make arrangements with a private water concern. The pipe line break clogged the conduits and shut of the supply from the Moreno and Upper Otay reservoirs. The Chamber of Commerce commit tee continued its relief work in con junction with the naval authorities while the city officials discussed the rebuilding of the Lower Otay dam. The Chamber of Commerce commit tee announced that SlOOOOO is needed. The fund is now S30,000. County Superintendent West recommended that the schools in the affected dis trict be closed month, when it is be- licved the roads will be re-opelcd. The food shortage will be relieved to- morrow with the arrival of steamers bringing belatei shipments of beef and vegetables. The Santa Fe re. ported that it will take three weeks to repair its line to Los Angeles, ow- ing to several bridges having been washed out. Several extra vessels are being run to San Pedro, thus eliminating northern runs until the railway re-opens.
 J. A. Pierce, an automobile dealer at Fl Cajon, who arrived here today, said practically every ranch in the San Diego valley between Foster and Lakeside, twenty miles northeast of here was swept clean by the waters which rushed through the valley Thursday. He reported similar con ditions at Fl Monte, in the same dis trict.
