WANTS TO BREAK

PRISON
Porter Anxious to Plead tn
Burglary When Charged
With Petty Larceny.

George H. Porter, charged in the
complaint with the crime Of petty lar
ceny, is evidently anxious to break
into the penitentiary, as he desires to
plead guilty to a charge of burglary.
Porter was arrested in Calexico on
April 21 and, according to the papers
issued by City Recorder Greene Of Ca
loxico, stands committed in the coun-
ty Jail for life unless he succeeds in
laising bail TO the sum of $500.
Porter sent word to the district at
torney's office that he desired to make
a plea and when Deputy John Kepley
conversed with the defendant desire
to plead guilty to charge of bur-
glary was made known. Porter will
be given an opportunity to plead to
the lesser charge, according to the
complaint.

The HoltviVe chapter of the East

USERS ARE TOLD
CONCERNING
CHARGES
No. / Water Company Has
Taken Protest Under Ad-
visement for a Time.

Water Company No. has explained
its position to objectors to its recent
II lings that a charge of 25 cents be
made for each opening of gate for
irrigation and demand for great
er number of shares Of stock per acre
for the small holder by stating that
i: was the desire of the company to
get the small holder to pay larger
share of the added expense which the
company claims is caused by caring
for the email landholder.
Delegates from the Alamitos Water
Users Association and the McCabe
Farm Center Bureau and others met
with the water company at Imperial
t., protest the action raising the eX-
pense to the small rancher. They
claimed that the action of the board
vas favoring the big rancher over the
ds.iryman, the fruit and vegetable
grower.
1t was suggested at the meeting
that the charge for opening the gates
be reduced to cents, also that it
nigh be possible for the people Of
a subdivision to appoint one man to
act as their agent in making water
demands and so eliminate portion
of the claimed added expense for
handling these smaller holdings. 1t
is stated that it is hardly thought
probable that the company will re-
scind their action as requested.
The people who object to this ac-
ton of No. call attention to the
claim that this water company last
year with an assessment of $1.00 a
share paid their operating expenses
and an Indebtedness of about $4,000.

U. S. Senate Will! Have Ses-
sions at Night to Debate
on the Army Bill.
(By United Press)

Washington, April 27.-Senate
Light sessions are probable, as six
teen senators have announced tha.
they will speak on conscription.
Senator Jones of Washington de-
clared that to convince the enemy of
the futility of continuing the war it
was necessary to train and equip an
army Of one million men for iH1me-
diate service. Also, that prohibition
was needed to conserve the food sup.
Hlies.
"Stamp our profession of democracy
with the seal of sincerity by enfran-
chising intelligence, purity and pa
triotism Of women" was one Of the
remedies offered by Senator Jones.
The debates in both houses make
it seem certain that the selective draft
bill will pass, as the supporters of the
volunteer plan are weakening. The
House may vote on the question Late
today.

FOLLOW CLUES
in HARDEN
MYSTERY
Detectives May Apprehend
a Trio of Suspects Who
Trailed Harden Monday

Some supposedly definite clues have
been obtained in connection with the
rau1derous assault on Joseph H. Har-
den, former Holtville banker, who was
found in San Diego Tuesday morning
with stab wound in his throat. De-
tectives have been able to trace two
suspects who are said to have fol-
loved Harden from Los Angeles to
San Diego.
The suspicious actions of three per-
sons who occupied smoker on the
same train indicate that the attack
Rad been the result of well laid plot.
In Harden's berth was found a strange
cap and one of the three smoking car
suspects is said to have hurriedly en-
tered that car without his cap. Har-
den is rapidly recoveNtng, but claims
he was not awakened when the assault
was committed and is therefore un-
able to throw any light on the mys-
terry.

EXTRA JUDGE
BILL BEFORE
SENATESOME.
TIME TODAY
If Senate Passes 1t Is Said
the Governor Will Ap-
prove the Measure.

The bill providing an additional su-
Eerior Judge for Imperial county will
likely be called up in the Senate some
time today, as it is understood that
it had reached third reading late yes
te1day afternoon.
Having been passed in the Assem-
bly,, it is said that if the Senate acts
favorably that Governor Stephens viii,
stfix his signature. 1t has been point
ed out that Senate committees have
been doing the vetoing for the new
governor If the governor has de
cided against a measure, the measure
is killed at his request in committee,
thus obviating a veto.
In the event that the bill passes
and is signed by the governor it will
mean the appointment of an additional
court bailiff and also another deputy
county clerk. It is not believed that
the district attorneys force will be
increased.

suing a worthless check to stage
driver who conducted him around the

that he was at this time out on pro-

Peters engaged Lou Harris to make
a tour of the Valley in an auto, final

tlat he had been conducting blind
pig at that place, but that the officers
were on his trail, making it necessary

checks on the Yuma banks were

to Harris that Peters wife
