LOST AV|AT0RS
SEEN 175 MILES
SOUTH CALEX|C0

Sam. George and D. d. Thing ar
rived in Calexico yesterday and re-
port news of airplane flying over their
section in Lower California, which is
believed to be the machine flown by
Lieuts. Connolly and Waterhouse.
The Thing brothers knew nothing of
a machine being lost when they left
their ranch and as a result their in
formation is not as sepcific as it might
have been.
They are not positive whether the
machine was seen there en- August 20
or 21 and they do not know in what
direction it was flying. They know
it circled the far point of the San Pc
dro mountain, about 175 miles south
of Calexicc. and headed y
again. Residents of thatvseecNn re-
port seeing the machine at Alamoza
on the west side of the San Pedro
countains; at Rosarita, at the south
point of the mountains about 20 eliles
south and west of Alamoza, aid a,

tain east from Alamoza.

SIX RIOTERS
ARE CAPTURED
ONE On TRIAL
At MEX|CAL|
Five are Confined to Jail in
Yuma; Governor Cantu
Makes Statement Denying
Political Complexion of
Revolution; All Quiet.

Six of the rioters implicated in the
insurrection a Algondones Sunday
night have been arrested, five are in
the Jail at Yuma and the other, sup
posed to have been the one who killed
Lieut.. Cortes, is being tried at the
Mexican court in Mexicali today.
Several horses returned last night
to Algondones and the Cantu troops
are still pursuing the fleeing revolt
ers in the direction of Sonora.
Governor Cantu, who reached Mexi-
cali Monday evening, this morning
gave out an official statement thank
ing the American officers for their
cooperation and denied that the af-
fair was any more than brawl. He
denied that it had any political signi-
ficance at ALL
In his statement Gov. Cantu linn
its the number Of men involved to ten
and states that four are still at liber-
ty. He denies that there is any trouble
at Mexicali at all. --
Governor Cantu states that all ar
rested will have a fair trial.
Mexicali is still closed although this
afternoon the. Owl was permitted to
reopen its gaming tables again. All
saloons are closed.
There is no truth in the report that
of the thirteen soldiers and civilians
originally arrested all were executed.
But six remain in custody, five in
Yuma one in Mexicali.
The man who is being tried today
in Mexicali was brought in last night
from Algondones, under heavy guard.
He was arrested on this side of the
line, turned over to the authorities at
Algondones where it is said baling
wire and rope were used to make a
hangman's moose until he confessed.
Gov. Cantu appears to have the sit
uation under control
Funerals of three of the dead men,
Caut. Jose Torres, Lieut.. Francisco
Cortes and a private were held yes
terday in Mexicali.

R. N. Goodwin, manager of the I'M

Growers association, reports the sale
of one hundred and seventy bales of
Pima cotton the last of their consign-
ment, for last season at 62 cents.
This is the highest price vet real
zied for any Imperial Valley Pima, and
if growers here could be assured of a
ready market at somewhere near this
figure the acreage of Pima would be
greatly increased next season.
The few hundred acres planted this
season give promise of a very salts
fatory yield, and ginning will proba-
bly, be commenced as soon as suffi-
cient cotton is picked to assure the gin,

SUPERVISORS FAIL
TO SELL THE
HIGHWAY BONDS

Imperial county's S1,50O,OOO bond
issue has not been disposed of. The
reason is very simple, when the board
came to open bids there were no bid
ders.
1t is expected that a number of bids
will be received within week or ten
days and the bonds will be sold at
private sale. 1t is not infrequent for
bond buyers to hold off and refuse
to bid for a time in an effort to force
the premiums to a low point.
Instead of buying bonds the super
visions occupied themselves with pay
ing all bills, talking over various
county matters and purchasing cou-
pie of automobiles for use of the sher-
ifs office.

CAPTA|N TORRES
KILLS z, THEN
CLUBBEO DEATH

Regarding the recent insurrection
at Algondones, the Yuma Morning
Sun says:
The trouble started about o'clock
Monday morning when the soldiers
who had been drinking Sunday night,
started rebel demonstration near the
barracks. Captain Torres went to the
barracks to quiet his men. When he
appeared. on the scene the soldiers
attacked him with the butts of their
rifles. Captain Torres put up q gal
liant fight and killed two of the reb-
els. After a desperate struggle Cap
tain Torres was dubbed to death, his
head beaten to a pulp.
Murder Lieutenant.
The soldiers, then thoroughly
aroused, went to the home of Lieut.
Cortez. They entered the room in
which he was sleeping and in the
presence of his wife and two small
daughters cut his throat from ear to
ear, nearly severing his head from his
body.
The rebels then advanced on the
saloon and after shooting up the place
robbed the cash register of the days
receipts, amounting to about $25000
mounted horses and rode towards the
mountains. Americans who were in
the saloon at the time of the holdup
were not molested nor were any Of the
men and women attaches ofthe place.

were rushed to Andrada on a special

day and took complete charge of the
situation. Scouts have been sent out
in an effort to locate the rebels.

AR0USES IRE OF
LOCAL CITIZENS

The proposed visit Of Hagenbeck &

some of the local citizens.
Reverends E. A. Palmer and Wal
ter Reed today resolved to find out the
sentiment Of the local people but be-
fore starting out visited Mayor Geo
Watkins to find out his exact reasons
for opposing the granting of a Sun
day license. Mayor Watkins, outside
Of his personal feeling in the matter,
referred the gentlemen to the follow
ing city ordinance:
Ordinance No. II.
Sec. 8. Prior to the issuance of any
license under this ordinance the city
clerk shall require of any person ap-
plying for such license, or to whom
the same is issued, verified state
ment from such person, setting forth
sufficient facts concerning such bust
ness as will enable said clerk to de-
determine the classification under
which such person or the performance
or exhibition proposed to be given or
held comes within the meaning of this
ordinance, which statement shall con-
tain the day upon which such per-
formance is to be given, the number
of performances to be given, and the
location of the theater, play house or
other place of public amusement in
said city where such performance or
exhibition is to be given or held. And
any false statement contained in such
affidavit shall be a violation Of this
ordinance and punishable the same as
any other violation thereof, as herein
provided.
Sec. 4. That when such statement
reveals that the proposed perform
ance, show or exhibition is to be
held upon the Sabbath Day Sunday
either in the day time or at night,
such fact shall be sufficient reason
for the clerk Of said city to refuse
to issue license for such perform
ance, and it shall be his duty to so
refuse to do, and sno license shall be
issued for such performance to be
given or held on Sunday in the city of
Ell Centre.
Sec. 5. Any person, firm or COR
poration or agent or employee violat-
ing any of the provisions of this or
dinance shall be guilty of misde-
meanor and upon conviction thereof,
shall be fined in a sum not exceeding
three hundred dollars $4,000 or by
Imprisonment in the county all or the
city Jail for period of not exceeding
three months, or by both such fine

since the failure of the Ockerson
dam, which was practically COIN
cident with the completion of this
levee. The dam giving way, al
lowed the river to follow the same
course down the channel of the
Bee River, the retrogression OF
grade continued and this levee was
consequently left high and dry.
While the danger of pressure how
ever, was absent, it was, however,
exposed to attack by erosion and
in 1907 was attacked by a channel
change of the Colorado at a point
just above the Ockerson dam and
a section approximately six thou
sand feet in length was totally de-
stroyed A portion of the flow of
the river, amounting to some
thirty thousand cubic feet per
second, swept through the gap and
following the broad shallow
trough formed by the cone of the
Bee River on the south and the
Saiz levee on the north, was, due
to the natural slope of the coun-
try, dangerous erosive velocities
were developed.
"In their present condition the
Ockerson and Saiz levees are real
ly huge wing dams or jetties,
Tending the water to the west.
The function of the former is to
combat the natural tendency of
the river to flow to the north and
northwest and force it to wes-
terly direction, thereby relieving
the Siaz lavee of any strain but
that of back-water. The Saiz le-
wee of in it's relation to the Vol
cano Lake levee, should perform
the same office.
1917 Trouble Explained.
"In 1917, due to the break in
the Ockerson levee to which have
referred, this levee was to that
extent unable to protect the Saiz
levee. The water piled up against
the latter to much greater height
than would have been the case had
nothing but back-water reached it,
and, although the dangerous cur
rents were handled effectively. we
finally saw the levee preached in
two places. This was caused Ly
wave action. If you will rc,,emhcr
we had during that summer ali
normally high winds from the
southeast. There are two places
onthe Siaz levee, where, due to
soil conditions, no vegetation will
grow AS result Of this and the
Imperial Valley press., 1919-09-10

The maintenance of the protective
levee system and it's improvement to
the point where breaks are impossible
means greater security to holders OF
Valley land mortgages. This point is
one which has been and will continue
to be carefully scrutinized by the
state bonding commission and the pur-
chase of Valley securities. Upon it in
a great measure will depend the sue
cessful financing of the all-American
canal as the Government will not
consent to accept the District bonds
unlses it has absolute knowledge that
the lands upon which the bonds are
liens are fully protected against
repetition of the great disaster of
19O5-O6 in which the Salton Sea was
created. Refusal of the United States
land bank to make loans in the valley
is Officially based on the lack of per-
manence of the security offered by
valley lands. Market value of Imperial
lands is also about one-half what it
will be with a secure protection
against the floods and with sure
supply of water for irrigation. Voting
bonds next Monday will enable the
district to make improvements in the
levee syestem which will do much to
rectify these conditions.
Must Protect Levees
Regarding the protective work, Gen.
Mgr. C. N. Perry, of the Irrigation dis
trct, has prepared report which in
detail shows the extent and necessity
of the levee system, which vile locat-
ed in Lower California, must be main
tanned solely for the protection of
lands and water supply on the Amer
lean side of the boundary. A portion
of Mr.. Perry's report is as follows:
"In order to have an intelligent
idea of the condition at this time
of the levees which form out pro-
tective system, we must take in
to consideration, not only their
physical condition but also the riv-
er conditions which they will be
called upon to meet.
81 might perhaps illustrate my
point more clearly by citing the
case of the Volcano Lake levee,
which, when first built in 1908 had
height of only three feet, but
which, nevertheless, in relation to
the conditions which it was at
that time called on to meet, had
an infinitely higher factor of safe
ty than does the massive levee
which we have today.

tBY Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-
The German peace treaty includ-
ing the League CT Nations cove
nant characterized as an alliance
and not a league was reported to
! the Senate by the Foreign Re-
lationq committee with forty-five
amendments and four reserya-
tions to-day.
The report says the treaty with the
league covenant will breed wars in
stead of'securing peace.
One Republican Disagrces.
1t will be the first great document
Of its kind to be discussed in the open
without the confines of an executive
session. The majority report was sign
ed by every Republican member ex-
cept Senator McCumber of North
Dakota and it explains all amend
ments and reservations.
1t declares these are governed by
a single purpose and that is to guard
American rights and sovereignty, the
invasion of which would stimulate
breaches Of faith and encourage con
flicts and generate wars"
The reservations purpose the uncon-
ditional right to withdraw from the
league. The right Of daclination Of the
United States to accept any legal or
moral obligations of article ten or
the acceptancy Of any mandatory from
league except by the action of the
United States congress, reserves to
the United States exclusive right to
decide what questions are within its
domestic jurisdiction. 1t absolutely re-
serves the Monroe Doctrine to the
Judgment of the United States alone.
The report dismisses the fears of
other nations that they may not ac-
cept the amended covenant thus:
"That is one thing that certainly
viii not happen. Other nations win
take US on our own terms for without
us their league is a wreck and all
their gains from a victorious peace
are imperilled."
The report denies the adoption Of
amendments will necessitate the re-
assembling Of the peace conference.
( The associate conference will probably
4 be in session six months or more in
Paris.
1t asserts that might as we'll be"
Isefully employed "as" they are en-
gaged in dividing and sharing south
eastern Europe and Asia Minor"
"The German delegation could be
easily brought to Paris ana as sho is
not a member Of the league she need
not be consulted about changes in the
covenant" "
The report deals with criticism Of
its delay. 1t points cut that the peace
conference took six months. The For
J eign Relations committee had only for
ty-seven working days to consider il.
1t says the demands for speed were
largely the work of the administration
and its newspaper organs.
The second artificial demand for
d. haste in the report came from cer-
e great banking firms the report says
