Hardin and Rickard had been devot-
ing anxious weeks \ heavy rainfall
and cloudburst in the mountains Of
northern Arizona had swollen the feed
ers of the ella river which reared
down to the Colorado above Yuma.
The crodng streams carried noun
tainS in solution which settled against
the gate, scour starting above and
below 1t. Relief had to be given on
the jump. A spur track was rushed
across the bypass above the gate, as
the closing of the Inflated gate with
the ilashboards was no longer possible
\ rOck-fll was the only means of
closure. In the distant quarriPs men
were digging out rock 10 fill the call
from the river.
Marshall came down to see the com
pieted spur. Before he reached the
intake. the first rock train had moved
onto The spur track. The trestle had
settled, the train had been thrown
from the rails and wrecked.
Marshall came in from the damaged
trostlc. bringing Richard and Crothers.
Mrs. Marshall had invited lines Har-
Jim TO dine with them. lines fell to

Richard had his soldier look on. She

He was a soldier of the modern army.

Warsaw, (Sunday, Jan. 5, BY The
Associated Press. )--Lodz and other
Polish cities are reported in a state
of virtual anarchy. with the rougher
element doing as it pleases. There
has been frequent firing of rifles. but
no casualties as yet have been report
ed.
The workers, the reports state,
have adopted the habit when they
feel the need of money, of demand
ing it from the employers il they see
them in the streets or in surrounding
houses. and imprisoning them until
they give what is asked. The employ
ers have already made up a fund of
10.0O0,000 marks for the laborers.
but this does not satisfy them and
the workmen now are demanding ESQ
marks each. The reports say the men
frequently spend the day parading
the streets with red flags and listen
ing to agitators deliver. speeches.
The agitators are said to be spread
ing the report that IL the allies come
they will act much as did the Ger

stolen so thoroughly that Jew is
quoted as saying:

wanted to hang myself, but after the
Germans came not even a rope was

MINES At GLOBE
CLOSED; MOTORS
FOUND WRECKED

B-C
Globe, Ariz., Jan. Fifteen hun
dred men are temporarily out of en-
ployment in this district through the
closing of the Old Dominion and Ari-
zona Commercial mines. The mines
were forced to close when the elet-
trical equipment at the Old Dominion
floatation mill was put out of com
mission Monday morning, presumably
by some one bent on destruction. A
bolt was thrown into the rotor of the
200 horse power motor in the mill,
destroying the electrical windings as
it cut its way through the machine.
Manager Mcbride of the Old Do
minion mine refused to make any
comment on the shutdown, other
than that the mine would be closed
for several days, as the extra motors
were ruined in a like manner some
time ago.
Experts who have examined the
damage state that it would have been
impossible for the bolt to fall into
the machine and are positive the
work was intentional. The mines OF
this district have been troubled with
sabotage for some time and frequent
complaints of emery dust in the bear
ings of high speed machines have
eben made. Several days ago nine
sticks of dynamite, fused and ready
for action, were found beneath the
Arizona Eastern railroad bridge in
the heart of the city.

Says Mexico Can Neither Po-
lice the Country Nor Protect
It From Invasion by Foreign
Power.
tsv mops,so Joups.L SPECIAL LEASED WIRE,

Washington D. c., Jan. speak
ing in the senate today in support Of
his resolution of acquisition by the
United states through negotiation
with Mexico regarding Lower Cali
fornia and part of the state of So
nora, Senator Ashurst of Arizona de-
clared the Mexican government was
unable to control the territory or pro-
teet it from foreign invasion. An
nexed to the United state, he said,
1t could be converted in,o immense
agricultural value by irrigation from
the Colorado river.
Lower California, said the senator
is "the vermiform appendix of Mex
leo and the Achilles heel of the
United States"
The Mexican republic is both un-
willing and unable to police the pc
ninsula, he added, "and is unable TO
resist aggressions from or settlement
by oriental powers: hence a base of
supplies or of artillery and naval op-
erations, with comparative ease and
secrecy could be established among
the numerous islands on the Pacific
coast"
Enforcement of law and order in
Lower California, Mr. Ashurst declar-
ed, is left wholly to a governor hold
ing over from the Diaz regime, and
still independent either of Carranza
or Villa"
Senator Phelan of California, in
terrupted Senator Ashurst with the
comment that there is always dan
ger Of ACQUISITION by foreign powers
by purchase or otherwiise--by means
of Zimmerman notes or otherwise
of Lower California" He added
to acquisition of the peninsula by the
United States except by complete
agreement with Mexico.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,
inquired whether Senator Ashurst
would apply the principle of self de-
termination to the territory and the
Arizona senator replied that he ad-
vocated this plan and had received
hundreds of letters from residents
of Lower California urging the pur-
chase
While Senator Ashurst was speak
ing in the senate, Representative Els
ton of California, republican. intro
duced a resolution in the house re-
negotiations with Mexico for the pur-
chase of the Lower California penin-
sula and other Mexican land along
the international boundary. 'as shall
by topography promote harmonious
relations by reducing to a minimum
all international border difficulties"
The resolution was referred TO the
house foreign affairs committee.
