predicted yesterday that a campaign

tically vigorous discussion on the part
of Billy Sunday during his three
months quest for trail hitters here.
In a statement issued yesterday
William H. Anderson, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League of New
York, announced that nothing would
be done to change the Sunday meet
ings from being other than the evan
gelist desires them, for the purpose
of preaching undiluted gospel of the
old-fashioned variety. But, Mr.. Ander-
son added, the organization left here
after the departure of Mr.. Sunday
would be asked to use all of its pow
ers to comb the city, block by block,
to obtain signatures that would bring
the question of saloon closing to a
vote at an early date.

PAY MACARTHUR TRIBUTE
Newspaper Men Thank Baker and
War Censor for Treatment.

Newspaper men At the State. War
and Navy building have sent a letter
Of thanks to Secretary of War Baker
and to Major Douglas Macarthur for
the treatment accorded them since the
establishment OF a censor of military
news.
1t follows:
cit seems quite likely that the days
of action before us will see many
changes in the corps of newspaper
correspondents who have been as
signed to the War Department for
many months past. Some of US will
go a-soldiering and others into other
fields OF activity connected with the
war. Changes will come. too, In the
assignment of army officers whom we
have learned to know here in the de
partment, and before that time comes
we of the Fourth Estate wish to ex
press to you, and through you. to Ma
jor Douglas Macarthur, our apprecia
tion of the way he has dealt with US
for all these months in his trying
position as military censor.
"Our needs have compelled US to tax
his patience at all hours OF the day
and night. We have never failed to
receive courteous treatment from him
Although the censorship imposed was
but a voluntary obligation upon the
press, II has been kept faithfully, and
we feel that 1t has been largely be
cause of the fair, wise and liberal
way in which Major MacASthur exer
cised his functions that this was pos
sibIe."

MANY MUD GEYSERS
IN THE SALTON SEA
Steam From Them May Make
Electricity and Pump Water
for Irrigation.

Ell CENTRIC, Cal, April 6.-Al-
though the historic mud volcanoes
which bother the Salton Sea, down
near the Mexican border, were per-
haps, discovered cons ago, II has
been but recently that intrepid par
ties have had sufficient courage to
venture to the brink of these merry
kettles of steaming quagmire for the
devout purpose of protographlng
miniature volcanoes, 50 to speak, IN
their native haunts.
Throughout the process of filming
the turbulent masses Of bubbling clay
those who made the trip were con-
stantly aware of the hazardous fea-
ture so closely involving their future
ambitions. IT was no easy task to
approach a mud pot without a re-
minder that one was apt to become
enthraIled in a cloak of smearinF and
very hot mud.
There is probably nothing quite so
actively real to be found in Califor-
MIA as the numerous mounds on the
verge of a dead sea which are in
state of continued eruption.
In reality there are baby volcanoes,
which, like warts on a cucumber
prominently dot the earth's surface
at the southern end of the lake.
They vary in height, ranging from
one to ten feet, and in formation may
be likened to the Nesuvius crater
throwing out gases, steam and all.
From the lip of the crater a brown,
suInhuric slime runs down the hot
rugged sides, while within there is~a
steady rumbling and at minute inter-
walls a discharge of hot ashes is shot
from twenty-five to seventy-five feet
into the air.
The roar may be heard for miles
The volcanoes were well known To
the early residents of this section
with the pouring of the water of the
Colorado river into the Salton sink
these volcanoes were covered ano
finally subsidized. During the last year
their activity has been resumed ano
they have proven so extraordinary
that none but the brave has dared
approach. They are on what, few
months ago, was the bottom@of the
Salton Lake, 2TO feet below sea level
N is only with difficulty that they
can be approached owing to the fact
that the surrounding ground Is sof'
and oozy.
And now they are going to saddle
the obstreperous volcanoes and make
/ them useful to man. BY adopting
the plan used at Laradello. Tuscany
by which live steam from subter'
ranean depths is used to operate tur'
bines and generate electricity: watel
may yet be conducted to addftiona
hundreds Of thousands OF acres o.
land in the Imperial Valley.
: Experts show that with the use o.
| cheap and abundant electricity. water
may be pumped to new high lint
canals. far above the present system
ut is entirely possible that by use o
powerful pumps and comparativel!

land on both sides of the Salton sci
may be irrigated.
