The design of the car and the dis

RUM0RS RESULT
IN NEAR PANIC

The former secretary of state who re-
signed three weeks ago because of
ill health and who is said to be uni
versally liked by the common people
and a possible candidate for Gov.
Cantu's position in event of switch
in administration, apparently did no
thing but appear on the streets of
Calexico.
Later in the day one of the strang-
ers crossed the line after going out
TO the end of the fence and was ar
rested by Mexican officials, put across
the line to the American side again,
where the immigration officials ar
rested him or charge of running the
line.
From these few incidents the ru-
mors spread so fast in Mexicali that
the American authorities closed the
line to all except Americans who
wished to come back from Mexicali.
Similarly the Mexicans declined to
permit MeXicans to enter the United
States but Mexicans in the United
States were permitted to enter Mexico.
The closing of the line apparently
alarmed Gov. Cantu for he spent the
night with his soldiers in the quartet.
expecting trouble. A report that $50
soldiers had been drinking outside of
town added to the tenseness.
Several mechants in Mexicali closed
their places of business and with their
money and other vaiuables crossed to
the American side. This morning they
were all back again. although the
money was mostly on this side of the
line. The line was open as usual to-
day.
rne management of the Owl kept
only enough cash on hand to supply
tne gaming tables and the rest was
brought to CaleXico.
As a matter of precaution additional
American soldiers were ordered to
patrol the line during the night. On
the Mexican side Gov. Cantu sWore in
a large number of deputy policemen
who were armed and ordered to patrol
the streets of Mexicali This was in
addition to the soldiers on guard.
Many Of the men in the army are
said to favor the rebels and it would
not surprise the knowing ones if the
entire army joined the movement.
After a night Of rumors and unrest,
Mexicali was quiet this morning.
It is freely predicted that unless
Gov. Cantu joins the revolt, there will
be a rebellion in hi sdistrict. It is
as freely predicted that if he does
join, new governor will be appointed,

that Gov. Cantu is nearing the end

HUGE PROFITS
BY PACKERS.


Washington, May 15.--Profts made
by the big meat packing companies
in the first three years OF the war,
1918 through 1917, doubled, trebled
and quadrupled," according to a
special report of the Federal Trade
commission.
From 1912 to 1914, the report said,
the big hve"-Morris Wilson, Cud-
ahy, Armour and Swift companies
made average annual profits of $780,
100000 while in the next three years
their net returns averaged $192, 0OO,-
900.
Attacking the figures of their pro-
fits as announced by the packers, the
report said. "the whole accounting
system of the packers must be revised
before dependable figures can be
found showing costs and profits by
specific products or even for the
business as whole"
