PREDICT VOLCANO
UPT|0NS NEXT
(By Associated Press)

HILO, Island of Hawaii, April 2S.--
Predictions of volcanic eruptions have
been brought within the realm of prac-
tical things, while predictions of earth
quakes and a consequent great saw
ing of human life are within the
range of possibility in the near fu-
ture. according to DR.. Thomas A.
Jaggar, Jr., director of the Kilauea
volcano observatory near here, who
has just left for tour of New Zea-
land and other Southern Pacific lands.
Coordination of the work of vol
can and chronological observatories
throughout the Pacific area and fur
ther development of the system, to-
gether with a study of the relation of
volcanic and earthquake activities in
the Pacific are the main objects of
DR.. Jaggar's tour.
Determination, of tides in the rise
and fall of lava, similar to the tides
of the sea, is one of the achievements
of DR.. Jaggar at the Kilauea observa-
tory.
The volcanologist said before his
departure that valuable observatory
work was being done in Japan and
that interest in New Zealand was in
creasing. More stations, better co-or-
dination of work and extension OF
observations are necessary. said the
doctor, to obtain the complete data
required for exact determination of
laws governing volcanic and earth
quake activities.

MEX|CANS SAFE
IN MEXICO CITY
Later Report Brings Word
That They Haze Safely
Passed the Lines of ReUOlu-
tiOnists and Are NOU AUait-
ing Trial.

According to advices reached Ell
Centre today, Espainesa de los Mon
teros and A. Borboa, the two Mexicans
caught while attempting to smuggle
600 rifles across the international
line for the purpose of promoting a
revolution in Baja California, and who
were later thought to have escaped
while on their way to Mexico City,
are safe in the hands of Mexican gov
ernment officials and are now in the
capital city awaiting trial.
The report stated that on April II
the two men, under escort of Lieut..
Mazayanes and five Carranza soldiers,
landed at the port of Manzanillo, in
Colimo state. There they were met
by company of Mexican soldiers and
taken to the capital to face charge
of conspiring against the federal gov
ernment. 1t is thought that they will
pay with their lives for the act.
A. Borboa has been identified with
many former revolutionary movements

in General Villas army, and was one
of the chief instigators in the raids

Why I Am For
johnson

l am in favor of Hiram johnson for
president because he is the best eX-
ponent of 100 per cent Americanism in
public life today. He is farless, ag-
gressive and the keeper Of his own
conscience. He is never "on the fence"
but has always been found in the open,
battling for the great principles OF
free speech, free press and govern
ment in which the people rule and
which is administered for their benefit.
In his public life he has demonstrat-
ed great executive ability, efficient
leadership and a comprehensive grasp
of national and international problems
and their solution.
In my opinion the next president of
the United States will face greater
problems in reconstruction and adjust
ment. both domestic and foreign, than
any president since Lincoln, and for
this task / believe the people need a
leader such as Hiram johnson has
proven himself to be.

STR|CT WATCH ON
CANT SHIPMENTS
Horticultural Commissioner
Calls Annual Meeting of
Distributors for May 6; In
SpectiOn To Be Very Strict.

Inspection of cantaloupes this year
will be the strictest in many season
according to Horticultural Commits
sioner F. w. Waite, who has issued
a call for the annual meeting Of canta-
loupe distributors on May 6 at the
Barbara Worth hotel.
According to Mr.. Waite the expect
ed car shortage will necessitate the
shipping of only the finest of Imperial
Valley melons and this will make the
inspection more strict than ever.
All cantaloupes which have the
slightest imperfections will be thrown
out in order to prevent any bad ones
reaching eastern markets and at the
same time conserve car space.
Mr.. Waite places the estimated
acreage at $4,000 which agrees with
practically all other estimates made
and published in weeks past.
He is still in need of inspectors who
are competent and can use large
number.
