RACY CHARGES
IN DIVORCE SUIT

A cross complaint in the case OF
Hand Casey versus Cornelius Casey,
wherein the defendant is being sued
for divorce on grounds of desertion,
cruelty, improper conduct and with
giving her an unnamable disease, and
asking for the custody of one of their
four children and alimony, was filed
with the clerk of the county court to-
day by M. c. Atchison, attorney for
Casey.
The defendant is resident of Cal
exico and an engineer for the water
in San Diego and filed complaint for
divorce through her attorney M. M.
Gordon, of San Diego.
According to Atchison, the plaintiff
accuses his client of improper con-
duct, of calling her vile names on
numerous occasions and other allega-
tions, the majority of which are de-
MED by the defendant.
I'm the cross complaint" said At
Gibson, "the husband charges his wife
with desertion, with frequenting Tia
Juana, MeXicali, and other notorious
dens. With remaining out all night
leaving the husband to care for the
children. He alleges she is a dance
hall singer and has been seen in the
company of other men in saloons in
Mexicali."
The husband has been forced to hire
housemaid to care for his children
while the wife was away, said Attor-
ney Atchison.
Casey asks for the custody of the
children and the divorce.

HOPEFUL Of
SITUATION
|NMEX|C0
Dealings with Mexican Gov
ernment Are About Over
and Decision May Be Ex-
pected Soon; Better Deal
Than Allison's Expected.

Negotiations between the I'M
/. perial Irrigation District and the.
Mexican government which have
' been going on for more than two
months have practically been
completed, and the decision of the
Mexican government is expected
before long.
This fact has been brought to
light by the frantic effort of Chester
Allison and the Chandler interests tc
trap the district into accepting a wa
ter raise rental fro mlands below the
line, when the district has every rea-
son to believe that the decision of the
Mexican government will mean a
much better deal for the irrigation
district.
Mark Rose, director, this morning
state dthat the very anXiousness that
Allison evinced was an indication that
the Mexican interests had their eal
to the ground and sensed what was
coming in the way of decision by the
Mexican government.
He pointed out that the offer of the
Interests to pay an increased water
rel tai would not result in the district
receiving any great amount of money
until later in the year, Mr.. Rose point.
cd to the records for water showing
that the most recent report contained
the information that sc feet had beer
used the day before below the line
Ihis would mean at the increased rate
lot quite $100 day.
''he increase in water US lgc on a
big scale will be about April /, and
Mr.. Rose is confident that long before
that time the entire matter will have
been Strengthened out.
Efforts on the part of Calexico in
tercsts, charging bad faith that
Messrs, Nickerson and Rose did not
take Director Edmunds with them
when they visited Sr. Romero are an
sweled by Mr.. Rose as follows:
''Director. Nickerson asked Mr.. Ed
munds, Mr.. Allison and any member
Of the mutual advisory board who
wished to meet him next day WED
nesday) at General Manager Cron-
holm's' office in Calexico, when the
conference would take place. Not a
person showed up and we did not feel
hat we should drag Mr.. Edmunds to
he meeting, He kne wthe time andl

1t is said that important news may
be received in a few dayS.

ALLISON REPLIES
TOf.N. CR0NHOLM
Especial to The Press.)

CALEXICO, Dec. II. Chester
Allison, representative of the Colora
do River Land company and the I'm.
rerial Development company, today
gave out his first statement concvern-
ing the refusal of Sr. Luis Romero tc
approve his plan for water rental
raises south of the line, and Genera
Manager +. N. Cronholm's statement
that the district objects to comparison
with expenses under the receiver, Mr.
Holabird.
Mr.. Allison's reference to Messrs
j. S. Nickerson and Mark Rose were
brought about by the fact that he
transmitted the letter to Sr. Romero.
He said:
81 do not know what Mr.. Romero
said, as l was not present during the
interview, but | do know that these
same men, Directors Rose and Nick
erson, are the very men who, sitting
as members of the district board,
prevented conclusive action at last
Tuesdays meeting that would forever
settle the dispute as to equalizing the
water rental on the two sides of the
boundary line.
"The water companies submitted a
definite proposition which, if not ar
gued against, would certainly be ac-
ceptable to the Mexican government.
These same men, Messrs. Rose, Nick
erson and Cronholn, who are making
the fight against the mutual water
companies plan, have been advocating
the all-American canal and the denial
of all Mexican rights. They have
been trying to work up public senti-
ment in this way to further their own
schemes, under the camouflage of
looking after the valleys interests.
GAS to Mr.. Cronholm's criticism of
the receivers record, l have only to
reiterate that the figures presented
at last Tuesdays district board meet
ing speak plainly for themselves. Ev-
cry rancher in the valley knows he
had as adequate water service and as
safe protection against floods as the
valley has had under district manage
ment.
Gas to the suggestion of revising
Mr.. Cronholm's budget to save ST.
100000, almost the entire saving is
based on recommendation already
made by me for eliminating certain
unnecessary items of expense"
