Meeting at Modesto.

"To All Irrigation Districts:
"A special meeting of the Irriga-
tion Districts Association of Califor-
MIA will be held at the office of the
Modesto Irrigation District, Modesto,
Saturday, June 20, at 1870 D. M, with
an evening session, if necessary.
"The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has just advised me of new
ruling holding that all irrigation dis
trict taxes are regarded as "asses-
ments against local benefits" and SC
under the law may not be deducted in
computing taxable incomes. This is
a discrimination against people iii ir-
rigation districts and contrary to the
plain intent of the law, which allows
members of mutual water companies
and purchasers of water from private
corporations to deduct, in computing
taxable incomes, what they pay for
water as an item of farming expense.
It has been suggested that the matter
be tested in the courts and, also, as
Congress is to revise the revenue law
this summer, that an effort be made
to secure an amendment that would
remove all doubt as to it's nearing.
Both plans will be considered at the
Modesto meeting.
"The legislative committee appoint
ed last February will report on some
suggested changes in the Irrigation
District law and regarding recent
decision of the Third District Court
of appeals that the law of May /, 1911
(Act 1732A in behring's General
Laws}, does not authorize the con-
demnation of right of way for a
ditch by private person or corpora
ton. This report will be given full
consideration.
"All districts and prospective dis
tricts, whether members of the asso-
citation or not, are urged to send rep
resentatives to this meeting, in or

Washington, June 22.-One hun

acres sthe sea in one week. General
March told the newspaper men 1T the
weekly conference. These include
troops shipped from all American
ports of debarkation. The United
States is five months ahead of it's pro-

He said the figures on troop move
ments are significant. At the first
conference last week the number of
American soldiers in France was said
to be more than 100000. and the addi-
ton of 100000 in one week shows the
rate of progress being made.
The steadily increasing participa-
ton of American troops in the fight
ing in France is sharply marked in
the casualty statement showing so
killed in action. These casualties were
probably not all in one engagement,
but an accumulation from several sec

At GARY, IND.
Most Disastrous Collision in the His.

road Occurs When the Second Sec.
ton of Show Train Hits Strlnc
of Pullman Empties.
(By Associated Press>

tDy ASSoCidtcu IeSS)
Chicago, June 22.-Between a
hundred and hundred and fifty
persons, mostly members of the
Hagenback- Wallace shows, were
killed or injured in rear end
collision near Gary, Ind. The
wreckage took fire and burned
many to death. The show was
travelling in two sections on the
Michigan Central and the second
section was hit by a train of emp
ty steel Pullmans.
l.. w. Landnan, general pas
senger agent Of the Michigan Cen
tral, said his only explanation of
the wreck was that the engineer
of the train of empties must have
been dead asleep at the throttle.
''It is the worst wreck in the his
tory of the road, l believe" he
said.
Informa ton from Gary was that
the steel Pullmans crashed
through the circus coaches like
SO much wet paper. In the
wreckage legs and arms prOtrud-
ed and groans testified to the suf-
fering of the victims.
WRECK BURNED FOR HOURS.
The wrecked second section
contained performers and officials
of the show. The first section
carried the menagerie. canvas
men, tents and other equipment.
The wreck burned for hours. Those
thrown from the wreck stood
helplessly watching the horror.
Scme later were found wandering
half crazed in the woods in their
night garments.
Searchers told of seeing the
firement and engineer after the
wreck. 1t is reported that the
firemen, before disappearing, said
the engineer was asleep. 1t is
also reported the engineer was
seen running across fields from
the wreck.
The circus train was gas lit and
gas released by broken pipes ig-
nited from burning jets and from
the firebox of the locomotive
which plowed through the wreck.
Many deeds of herOism and sac
rifice are ported. One woman,
screaming in agony beneath burn
ing timbers, when she saw the
flames nearing her wOuld-be res
lers. shouted:
sect away! Get away quick or
you'll get burned tOO!"
