Mexican Consul Angel Casarin, Jr
at Calexieo last evening sent tele-
gram of inquiry to Ambassador Bon
illas at Washington in regard to re-
ports that there has been fighting irl
Mexico City between followers of Ben
eral Obregon and President Carranza.
This morning the Calexico consul
received a reply IN which it was stat
ed that the reports were false and
that President Carranza has not left
the capital. The telegram stated al
was we'll at Mexico City.
The absence of any reports on the
wire today led Imperial valley people
to call the Associated Press in Los
Angeles where it was explained that
the Associated Press has no dispatch
es from Mexico City today. This
was variously interpreted but the sin
gle word 'omnious' is perhaps the best
to characterize the situation.
The situation is admittedly the most
serious in years between governments,

Feared Trouble
Ouer Riuey Rise

Preparations to remove a part
Of the wier in the Colorado river
as the result of expected high
water were made this morning BY
Superintendent F. n. Cronholm,
superintendent of the river diyis-
ion.
The high water, which is rapid
ly approaching Yuma, may cause
trouble for the Imperial irrigation
district, inasmuch as it may be
charged that the wier raised the
rivers height until Yuma was en-
danpered
Although it was expected that
the crest of the fcod would pass
the wier without causing damage
to Yuma, no chances are being
taken and portion may be re-
moved to permit it to pass.

Profteering should be stamped out in these United
States ive prosper and rghtful share
of joy and happiness in this world.
But profteerng in Ell Centre anywhere else will not
be eliminated through secrecy if there is proteerng here
Publicity is the best for this evil that we know
anything about AEf
Therefore, the Press believes the of the loyal
fair price committee recently named by one of Uncle Sans
that when any merchant of this city of the Imperial
valley accused of such practices ne should be given full
and ample opportunity for explanation
An explanation of that slip is something else again.
This is government of the people, by the people and
for the people, great nation because Of
newspapers and read newspapers in this country
than in any other the face of the globe.
1t seems to u.s. with due regard to Mr.. Buck and the
mad haste with which this committee chosen that the
people of this every other community have absolute
right to know who is to this profteerng thing
And we even further-
The right and proper to pick any such committee,
which doubtless will be clothed with than the
mayor or the council because it will be able to brand any
merchant in this town with the stigma OF prohteerlng
through, the papers, is by popular selection,
Secrecy affords ample opportunity for the settlement
Once merchant is accused, his business is damaged
almost beyond repair though he be officially cleared
Rumor has many tongues and hrves mostly behind closed
doors.
Every man, and child in Ell Centre any other
city village is entitled to know the who to pass
upon such grave matter.
One thing more:
When were at death grips with Germany when
had ghtess nights and sugarless days that might
crush the Kaiser and his kind;
When the government set prices for the necessities of
life and price committees in almost daily session all
this land
Everybody knew who that committee.
AND When that committee closed after store
lowing proper warnings aside from the accused
made complaint.
In Los Angeles if remember correctly, Louis M.

dozen enterprises in that city, the active working head
of the Mr. Cole enjoyed the confidence of all who
