KEMP LOSES RIGHT
ARM; SECOND MILL
ACCIDENT IN WEEK

Harold Kemp, brother of Chief Of
Police Kemp of Calexico, lost his right
arm in an accident at the Globe
Mills in Mexicali last night. Young
Kemp's arm was first cut off below
the elbow, then second later few
inches below the shoulder.
The victim of the unfortunate af-
fair is unable to explain how the ac-
cident happened, but it is supposed
that his sleeve caught in the machin-
cry.
Kemp showed Spartan courage,
Picking up his severed arm from the
floor, he walked to the ambulance
which took him to the Jordan hospi-
tai.
Last Friday Mexican employed in
the mill met with an accident almost
identical with that which befell Har-
old Kemp last night, both men losing
their right arms at the shoulder.
Governor Cantu apparently needs
an Industrial Accident Commission tt
install few safety devices to protect
the workmen.

PRISON SCHOOL At
FOLSOM IS URGED
(By United Press)

Sacramento, March 7.-An appro-
priation of $4,000 for the erection
and equipping of school building at
Folsom prison, urged by Warden
Smith and recommended by the State
Board of Control, is attracting inter-
est among educational and uplift
workers throughout the state.
When Professor Manuel Jacobs,
with the support of Warden Smith,
founded the prison school at Folsom
three years ago, he started with a
class of 23 prisoners. There are now
500 enrolled in the numerous classes,
which embrace every subject from the
A B Cs to philosophy. Professor
Jacobs is assisted in his work by a
faculty of prisoners, the personnel of
which is quite unique. Among the
AZ faculty members are men who are
serving terms ranging from one
year to life. There are 21 first term
ers, II second termers, third term
ers, 2 fourth termers, seventh term
er and three who are destined to
spend the rest of their lives behind
the walls at Folsom. Their crimes
range from drawing bad. checks to
murder.

THIRTY DAY SENTENCE
OF MARGARET SANGER
IS COMPLETED TODAY
(By United Press)

New York, March 8.-Having served
the thirty days to which she was SEN
fenced for disseminating birth control
in New York City, Mrs.
Margaret Sanger, national leader of
the birth control movement, was re-
leased today.
Mrs. Sanger, unlike her sister, Mrs.
Ethel Byrne, did not hunger strike in
the prison at Blackwell's island. She
served her time quietly and made the
best of her opportunity to study ,pris-
on conditions.
81 have gathered great deal of
material which I shall use in my fu-
ture writings" said Mrs. Sanger to-
day, "but I did not break any of the
prison rules nor attempt to do any
thing out of the ordinary that would
make me trouble.
81 was sent to prison unjustly, but
many persons have had the same thing
happen to them: sfffi continue my
birth control propaganda work just the
same as ! was doing it before my ar
rest"

MAI, OFFLEY INSPECTS
CALF. NATL. GUARD

Major R. S. Offley, Twenty first
United States infantry, stationed ct
Calexico, is in Los Angeles making
6. detailed inspection Of the various
companies of the Second regiment Of
infantry, N. G. C. From there Major
Offley will proceed to Hanford to
inspect Company c, and thence to
Fresno, Visalia, Sacramento. Rich
mond, Oroville, Woodland, Chico and
Red Bluff.
This inspection is made each year
in March for the purpose Of deter
mining the amount of the federal
governments appropriation to be APP
portioned among the Various compa-
nies of the National Guard. The
amount received by each company
depends on the grade made, and the
grade is determined by the state Of
efficiency maintained by each COM
pany as to the number attending drill
and the precision with which ma
neuvers are carried out.
Each company must be able to mus
ter at least IS per cent of its en-
rollment, and each member Of the
company is paid in accordance with
his attendance at drills. To receive
full pay he must answer roll call
at 48 drills.
Major Offley was practically born
and raised in the army. He has had
d varied service career, having
fought in the Philippines and served
there in various military and civil
capacities, from governor of prov
ince to member of the school COM
mission.
He won marked distinction sixteen
years ago, when as lieutenant he
rescued 100 men from starvation in
the Far North. His regiment, the
Seventh Infantry, was sent to Alaska
to aid in building the Yukon tele-
graph line, and it's companies were
scattered over a territory 1000 miles
in extent. The orders were that the
COIipdLlcS WcTC W WOEh tOW0EO
each other, but the sudden setting
in of winter found the men far
apart and one company stranded in
an isolated and unprotected position.
The rivers were chicken with ice and
navigation was impossible. Lieuten-
ant Offley, learning Of the desperate
plight of the marooned company, de-
termined, without authorization, to 60
to it's rescue. He loaded several
sledges with provisions, and in the
face of what appeared to be insur-
mountable obstacles pierced the froz-
en- wilderness and reached his belea-
guered companions with supplies that
enabled them to weather the winter
end return to headquarters in safety.
This deed won for him the commen-
dation of his superiors and special
mention in the orders of the day.

CHARGES FRAUD; SUES
TO QUIET LAND TITLE

Another echo of the Milford Valley
real estate boom fiasco was heard to-
day when w. r. Higgins of Ell Centre
filed suit for cancellation of a trust
deed and to quiet title, against the
Peoples Loan and Trust Company of
Riverside, the Delta Land and Wa
ter Company, and several John Does,
acting as selling agents of the lat
ter company.
The complaint, which was filed by
Attorneys Fall, Robinson and Thomp-
son, sets forth that the representa-
tions made by the Delta Company Of
ficials and their agents were "false,
fraudulent and grossly misleading"
and that the plaintiff was thereby
wrongfully induced to give a trust
deed to valuable holdings in the I'm
perial Valley, and several notes for
$3.50. It is further alleged that
the conditions in the Milford Valley
were entirely different from the glow
ing prospectus of the promoting COM
pany, and that the. water rights prom
ised to the purchaser did not mate
rialize. Hence Higgings asks that the
notes and trust deed be cancelled, and
that the title to the Imperial Valley
property be cleared.

FOUND BOYS DRUNK
CHICAGO DANCE HALL
(By United Press)

Chicago, March 8.-The Juvenile
Protective Association of Chicago is
Gathering bill in the legislature, pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor in dance
halls, and providing a 5000 penalty
for violation.
Charging that the majority of the
dance halls are operated primarily for
the sale of liquor, and in many cases
are actually owned or controlled by
liquor interests, the associations COM
mittee report shows that police have
no conception of their duty at dance
halls; many policemen are found
drinking; fights are common; indecent
dancing prevails after about IL
o'clock, although until they become
intoxicated, dancers are usually or
derly; minors and often small chill
dren are permitted to become intox-
icated while parents laugh at their
drunken antics.
At one dance, given by a church,
as benefit affair, many little chill
dren were found "outrageously
drunk" according to Mrs. Bowen's re-
rort, and intoxicated women threat
ened to mob policeman who closed
gambling device being operated
there.
"Men and women become intoxicat-
ed" says the report, "and dance in
decently such dances as Walking the
Dog,' 'On the Puppy's TAIL Shaking
the Shimmy,' The Stationary Wiggle
and The Dip
cat 203 of the 213 halls investi-
gated liquor was sold and at 1913 Of
these minors were present"

GERMAN MONEY.
OFFERED FREELY
PLAYING VILLA
AND CARRANzA|
(By United Prsss)

Laredo, March 8.-Germany is
playing Villa against Carranza. Ger
man money is reaching Villa to aid in
inciting activity against Americans
and Carranza, while German agents
are simultaneously seeking to align
the Carranzistas against the United
States. l am just back from the in
terror of Mexico and I state these
facts authoritatively.
German agents have made an
agreement with Villa whereby, in case
Of war with Germany, he would send
small bands to harass troops all along
the border, German agents to pay a
quarter Of a million dollars immedi-
ately and other big sums monthly to
the Mexican officials.
It was rumQred that two officials
close to Carranza were cooperating
directly with German agents, one at
Mexico City, where newspaper is
said to be subsidized to Germany,
while German money and influence is
working in other ways to sway the
de facto government, owing to jeal-
ously between political and military
leaders.

BRYAN FAVORS
MAJO R|TY
TO RULE
By William Jennings Bryan

by William jennings bryan
Copyright, 1917, by United Press)
Miami, Fla, March Sim against
filibustering. For several years /
have been advocating a Senate clo-
ture rule.
There are two sides to the ques-
tion in the Senate, however, one in
volving the merits of the proposed
legislation. As far as am able to
Judge, the objections were not to
giving President Wilson the power
he asked, but to the language en-
ployed. Surely, if Congressional au-
thority is needed, members of Con-
gress cannot fairly be denied the dis
cretion as to the language employed.
Everyone recognizes that the CIV
ing of authority involves serious
risks.
The public's confidence in the pres
ident is so complete that Congress
would not hesitate to confer any pow
er he himself would use, but the
president cannot ride on ships him
self, or handle guns; he cannot even
direct the man at the trigger. 1t is
not strange that Congress hesitates
to put expert gunners where by their
or the mistake of the in
terested ship owner, they may COM
nit an act of war;"

ORDERS TO ARM SHIPS
EXPECTED ISSUED SOON
(By United Press)

Washington, March 8.-President
Wilson's illness has delayed the an
nouncement of his decision on arm
ing merchantmen.
There is increased evidence, how
ever, that orders to Secretary Daniels,
for immediate arming, will not be
postponed long. Some, however, be-
lieve the president would rather call
an extra session so that there would
be no doubt as to his course.
President Wilson is very tired from
