valuation of the road as S1,991,8S3, IN
addition to 1892 for tools and
working capital.
The toatl Pensacola Slectric Co. is
s3.341 $50. This does not include spe-
cial values for railroad property etc.
The road cost August 80, 1914,
would have been $1,0S6,472.
The total cost on that date would
have been $1,S52,744.
Dozier De Vane, attorney for the
Railroad Commission, examined the
witness. He was toll dthat valuations
fixe dby Mr.. Hahn were based on re-
placement costs.
Chairman Burr asked on what ba-
sis Mr.. Hahn would establish his
figures durin ga time of depression.
Mr.. Hahn said that to be consistent
the cost would have to be placed on
values at that time.
City Attorney John B. Jones asked
if the Bayshore Line had been fig
ured separately from the property
within the city.
He was told that it had not been
so figured.
Mr.. Jones said there are three units
which should be figured-the city
lines, the .BaySnOre line anu Tic i4SHI
and power plant.
Mr.. Jones argued that the rates
should be figured on the lines within
the city, if it could be shown that the
losses were due to the Bayshore line.
In other words, he said, the line re-
sponsible for the losses in operation
should pay the bills
Mr.. Deane asked Mr.. Hahn if he
could make the separation suggested.
Mr.. Hahn said that he could do so.
Mr.. Hahn said that It could be
done, but that it would be necessary to
reapportion the power station and
line values, ETC.
Mr.. Vane asked that this be done.
Mr.. Knight objected to the proposal |
on the ground that it would be diff |

ARMY men WILL
GET MEMORIALS
DEATH AND WOUND cERTiFI-
GATES TO BE ISSUED TO REL
ATIVES OF MEN IN WAR.

Colonel Saffarans, in charge of re-
cruiting for the district of abama
which now includes Pensacola re-
cruiting station, was today advised
by the War Department that memor-
| ials in the form of certificates bearing
the facsimile of the signature of the
President will be issued to the next
of kin of those officers, enlisted men,
field clerks and other members of the
authorized military establishment who
| died in service during the world war.
Wound certificates bearing the fac
smile of the signature of the Presi-
dent will be issued to all officers, en-
listed men field clerks and other mem
bers of the authorized military estab-
lishment who were wounded in the
service of the United States during
the world war. No more than one
certificate will be issued for any one
man. When it appears that the per-
son entitled to a wound certificate has
died since discharge from the ser
vice, the certificate in his case will be
issued to the next of kin. -
The memorials will be engrossed by
states in alphabetical order and mailed
in suitable tubes to the addresses OF
the persons entitled thereto as
shown by the records of the war de-
partment. No application for me-
mortal is necessary or required.
Owing to the delay in securing suit
able paper and to the amount of work
involved in preparing the certificates,
it will be we'll toward the end of the
present calendar year before the last
of the certificates are ready for mail
ing. The wound certificate will be the
first to be prepared-paper for the
death certificate has not yet been re-
ceived from the contractor
The memorials will be mailed direct
to each person entitled thereto as
rapidly as they are engrossed by the
adjutant general of the army and any
correspondence as to the date that a
memorial may be expected is not
necessary.

you respectfully.
(Signed) Baldomero A. Armada,
Imperial Valley press., 1920-06-07

In making his request for 5000
troops to occupy the port of Ensenada
he states that the loyal Mexicans and
Americans on this side of the line
would be glad to see an end made to
conditions now existing in the district
and that this act, the occupying of the
port Of Ensenada would create no
alarm on the American side of the
line.
If necessary he would recommend a
military occupation of the city of
MeXicali in order that Mexico City
might be supreme. In closing his tel
egram he said II salute you, Sr. Bal
domera A. Almada."
Sr. Armada did not make good his
statement that heawould attend the
demonstration in Mexicali yesterday
lauding Governor Cantu. He was on
the American side most of the day but
had very short conference with Gov
ernor Cantu during the morning. Last
evening he left for Los Angeles again
and it is not believed that he will
return until he has made trip to
Mexico City and personally talked
with General Obregon and Provisional
President De la Huerta. His telegram
asked General Obregon to bring these
things to the attention of the presi-
dent.
Yesterday in Mexicali passed off
very quietly. The saloons were all
closed the order having been issued
Saturday evening at 6 o'clock to
close them and they remained closed
until this morning. The absence of
the liquor which usually is consumed
at these demonstrations had a sober
ing effect on the crowd and although
there was Il program at the city park
at which number of speaker praised
Governor Cantu the crowd contented
itself with cries of "Viva Cantu." The
customary bull fight was not staged.
Just what the actual situation is in
Mexical is not clear to outsiders, but
the events appear to be he outcome
of well laid plan to retain Governor
Cantu. az t.> e"
1t now appears that the sickness
of Governor Cantu, which Sr. Almada
took occasion to refer, to, was merely
a request for a vacation of two
months which Governor Cantu sent to
Mexico City some time ago. Mexico
City then appointed new governor
with the resulting trouble. .
1t is said that Sr. Armada has made
a request to Governor Cantu that
Governor Cantu act as military COVER
nor of the district and Sr. Almada as
civil governor, but Governor Cantu
declined to do this.
The telegram follows:
Senior Alvara Obregon, Mexico City
Mexico:
Governor Cantu has agreed with me
to turn over the government of the
Northern District of Lower California
tomorrow (Monday), but as he is OBJ
ligated by group of individuals that
