SPIRITED FIGHT
FOR PROBATION
By H. {. HYDE
Matter Comes UD June II; At
tOrney Retained Who WiN
Secure Affid0Uits and Other
Necessary EUidence.

H. C. Hyde. former deputy marshall
who plead guilty to three counts on
an Indictment charging soliciting ana
receiving money for "protection" in
the underworld, will make Il spirited
fight for probation it was Indicated
this morning.
A well known local attorney has
been retained, who will secure the ne
cessary affidavits and will present
the case when it comes up before
Judge Swing on June II.
1t is understood that one of the
pleas to be made by Hyde will be
the same as he testified at the :r:ai,
that he took the money in order to
lay trap for his superior, c. E. HILL
and that he took the money for that
purpose alone.
Hyde was injured in train wreck
several years ago and is unable to do
any hard manual labor, one leg being
very weak.

MEX|CAL| QUIET;
GOV. CANTU RE|CNS
No Signs of Change and Gouer-
nor Goes On Making All
Plans for the Future; AImQ-
da is in Los Angeles.
Especial to The Press

MEXICALI, June 3.AGov. Esteban
Cantu still reigrs. Indeed there are
those who state that Governor Cantu
will probably remain in office for
some time and these people do not
believe that the new governor 81.
Baldomero Armada will ever rule over
the destines of the northern district
of Baja California.
The movement among the COVER
nor friends to keep him in office
today received additional impetus and
it is now apparently question if it
will not be unanimous.
There is no feeling of hostility
against the newly appointed governor
merely a strong belief that the present
governor can best serve the interests
of the people.
All of the large American and
Mexican interests below the line are
solidly behind the governor and ii
seems as if it will take more than an
order from President De Ia Huerta tc
to unseat him.
1t was pointed out today that Senior
Armada has received merely an ap-
pointmcnt from Mexico City anc
that Governor Cantu has not formal
ly turned over the reigns of the gov
ernment to him but has merely init
mated that he will when the proper
! time comes.
1t appears that "the proper time
will be quite a while in arriving.

L.EvEE BREAK

Southern Pacific Train Ma
rOOned with 250 Men but

Break in Boat; Break Not
Completed.

Information was received by the
Board of directors of Imperial Ir-
rigation District this morning from
f. n. CrOnh0lm, river superintenG-
ent, that a break had occurred last
night in the Ockerson levee on the
Colorado river in Mexico about Is
miles south of the international
bCundry line.
This levee was preached in Febru-
ary of this year, when the Colorado
river was discharging 10000 Gu fit.
per second. This break was repaired
by team and scraper work as soon as
the ground was sufficiently dry to
work upon and operations were being
actively carried on to lay railway
track on the levee and rock revet it
fer greater protection. as the ground
material in the vicinity does not
stand up well under water pressure.
The time proved too short. however,
to complete this work before the high
water period of June.
NO DAMAGE FEARED
No damage resulted from the break
in this levee in February last, as the
area flooded is unimproved land, and
it is not anticipated that any damage
will result from the present break in
the levee, either to canals or struct-
ures belonging to the district, or to ir-
rigated lands in Mexico. The slowly
moving waters flowing through the
Ockerson levee are caught up by the
Saiz levee and thrown to the south
and southwest. whence they find out
let to the Gulf of California through
Volcano Lake which is safely protected
by massive rock faced levee which
prevents flood waters from finding.
their way northward into the irri-
gated sections of Imperial valley.
The owners of irrigated lands in
Mexico, under the Saiz levee, are
somewhat apprehensive because of the
unusual pressure thrown upon the le-
wee by the break in the Ockerson le
wee, but are taking every precaution to
reinforce and protect it. If the Saiz
evee should fail at any point, it will
cause great loss of crop to Mexican
landowners and ranchers. but would
not reach or effect any lands in the
United States.
The Colorado river is in flood stage
now and will probably remain in flood
through the present month, but the
raise of the river has been gradual
and the District manager believe that
no unusual difficulties will be en-
countered in handling the situation.

ROCK FOREMAN
KILLED BY CAR

The foreman of the rock quarries
under River Superintendent +. n.
Cronhom was killed last evening by
a loaded car of rock which turned over
on him, according to word reaching
this city today. Repeated attempts
to get in touch with Mr.. Cronholm,
today failed because of the fact that
he is giving the breaks in the levees
below the line his personal attention.
Two other men were buried by the
rock and when taken out from under
the car We're badly bruised according
to the word received but just the one
was killed.
1t was said that he was married
man with several children.
Directors Of the Irrigation District
were aware of the accident and
deeply regretted it but were unable to
furnish the name of the unfortunate
man.
