OFF|C|ALSO OF w. J. A.
 ANSWER CITATION

Officials of the Salt River Valley Water Users association appeared be- fore Judge Frank Lyman in division two of the superior court yesterday in answer to a citation for contempt in not following out the letter of the courts decision in the action of James Aldrich ct al against the association.
 The action, in fact, had a much broader meaning than that set forth in the citation, it was explained in court. It involved service to certain coroplainants in the original action holding property along the Highline canal, the capacity of which, the de- fendant officials contend, is insuffi- cient to serve all land owners. The fact that the complainants have not been served has not been due to any desire of the association to disregard the letter of the courts ruling but rather their inability to do so because of the lack of capacity, they said in court yesterday afternoon.

TEMPE BRIDGE |S DAN GER0US, SO
 II T0 ALL
Structure Declared by the Bridge Engineer to Be in Most Precarious Condi- tion-More Cracks Alp pear

Traffic is suspended indefinitely over the Tempe bridge. red lights burned on the bridge last night and special guards are watching the approaches at both ends, according to announcement last night by Bridge Engineer Merrill Butler who states that the bridge yesterday gave evidences of being in the most prec2FiOuS condition, it has shown since it began to sag at the time of the 1919 Thanksgiving floods.
 State Engineer Thomas MaddocS and his assistant, F. N. Holmquist. are responsibility for closing the bridge thereby resting with Butler. In the ab sence of the state engineer or his as SiStant Butler says that no statement will be made concerning the probable resumption of traffic other than that he will keep the bridge out of commits sion until further notice The alter native route for Phoenix traffic is via the Central avenue bridge.
 A total of one and one-quarter inches of fall in the Tempe bridge was checked up yesterday following the observa tions of the preceding day which showed the status of the bridge to be the Butler states that one span of the bridge is now approximately 6l4 inches below it's original grade.
 Butler was notified immediately of the findings and he at once ordered the bridge closed to traffic of every kind. and advised the various authorities ac- cordingly.
 Cracks Widen
 No cracks have appeared yet in the concrete floor of the bridge but the hand rail has a number of well-defined cracks that were larger yesterday than ever before. The cracks may be taken as the merest indication of what is transpiring, Butler says, although all official data naturally is secured from instrumental observations. As the hand rail naturally has a wider arc than the bridge floor it can be expected to manifest strains before such strains become apparent in the floor structure. The river stage is reported still above the normal dry weather flow,'' but the engineers express the fullest confidence in saving the bridge unless unpre- cedented floods occur before they have an opportunity to make extensive re- pairs during the low water season.
 The source of the bridge trouble ac- cording to recent statements by Engin- ger Thomas Maddock, lies in one faulty pier that may not be resting upon bed rock as supposed or that may be disin- teSrating at the base. During the com ing summer the state engineer proposes to rebuild the base of that pier in a manner that will assure it's full service henceforth, and to jack up the bridge structure to it's original position.

UNIFORMITY IF GAR PARTS GIVES AUTO
 THIEVES MUCH HELP

The uniformity of Ford parts, whereby the parts of one car are in- terchangeable with the parts of an other car, has resulted in automobile thieves of Maricopa county devising means to make Identification of stolen Ford machines absolutely impossible. A declaration to that effect was made by Sheriff John Montgomery yester- day, following disclosure of the new system.
 The method of destroying all posi- tive identification is made possible, the sheriff stated, by change in plan at the Ford plant whereby the factory has discontinued casting numbers of motor blocs. As a result, the blocs of stolen cars can be removed and new blocs substituted, in this manner re- moving the only positive identification. The only numbers on Ford engines heretofore have been those cast on the blocs.
 The system was discovered when of ficers recovered a discarded bloc three and a half miles southeast of Chandler. The bloc bore the number 2373610 and on investigation, proved to be the bloc from Ford machine, formerly the property of W. J. Osborn and re- ported stolen December IS, 1919. The car has never been recovered. The bloc had been thrown into the brush at the side of the road and carefully covered with weeds.

tice court Miss Mort had requested O'Brien to bring her to the United States and he was willing and ready to marry her at all times. When he proposed returning to his home in Canada she insisted on coming to the United States, and found it an easy job to get OBrien to bring her.
 Miss Mort stated that she came across as O'Briens wife and lived with him until they arrived in Santa Fe, where they had their first difficulties. From there she telegraphed to a man in New York whom she had met on the boat on the. way over to join her. The witness stated that their relations ceased in New Mexico and they came to Arizona as MT. and Miss O'Brien. She lived in Wickenburg and he sought work in Glendale. Their relations were not friendly now, she said.
 Frank $. Smith, special agent of the department of justice, identified sworn statement made by O'Brien in which he admitted bringing the girl to this country.
 Jury Out Only Short Time
 James P. Lavin, who was appolnteo by the court to represent O'Brien, at tempted to show that the court did not have Jurisdiction in that the illicit re- Iations between the girl and man did not exist in Arizona. He also made much of the fact that O'Brlen wished to marry the artists model. MT. Lavin also took occasion to announce that the act under which OBrien was indicted was vetoed by President Wilson, which caused a ripple of mirth in the court room. At the conclusion of very brief arguments by counsel the court took recognition of the remark by stating that the act was just as much law as any of the laws, since it had been passed over the presidents veto.
 The arguments were but a few minutes to the side, less than half an hour being consumed in the arguments and instructions offered by the court. The case was submitted shortly after twelve and after luncheon the jury re- turned its verdict
 It took but a short time to select the Jury; two veniremen were excused be- cause of deafness, while a third. Roy Ward, asked to be excused on the ground that he would take the word of woman under oath in preference to that of a man.
 Those finally selected to serve were Robert Long, J. A. Ireland, R. G. Bers, Leroy F. Young, Roy Magmisson, Rosel Cooley, H. $. Loomes, Alex Hunsaker. H. F. Easterday, c. W. Adams, G. l.. foung and Jerry Doyle.

RICHARD HARDING
 DAVIS WELL-KNOWN
 STORY IN PICTURES

Soldiers of Fortune,' unquestion- ably the most widely read story Rich ard Harding Davis ever wrote, and at the same time one of the most pop ular works of all the American fiction begins it's engagement at the Strand today.
 Made into a Realart special by AL Ian Dawn, Soldiers of Fortune" has become the screens most vivid photo play Dawn has brought to the pro- duction all the adventure that befell the civil engineer hero of the Davis story, he has held to the detail in most remarkable manner, and clothed his action in what has been termed the most realistic manner yet seen on the silver sheet.
 The very nature and the very To- cale of Soldiers of Fortune makes dramatic presentation. Telling of a young civil engineer, Clay, the Ameri- can who was sent to the western end of the country to survey the right or way for a transcontinental railroad, the story reveals the achievement of the youngster with all the force of the well known Davis style of writing. But the railroad is no sooner assured than he is commissioned to open the company's iron deposits in central America. It is in the southern coun- trv that Clay meets with the adven- lures which are to play such an i'm portant part in his life. He finds the place a hot bed of revolution Much spectacular realism is introduced in the scenes depicting the revolutionary bat tles-many men were required-many horses. and many properties. In fact, aSoldiers of Fortune" has been called the biggest picture of the past ten years.

MEN AND TEAMS .TO SAVE COTTON
 .OF SOUTH SIDE
Much Work Necessary to R epair Consolidated Canal So Water Can Be Turned in in Time For IT, rigation.

'Diligent work, day and night, with all the men and teams that can be secured will be required if a great area of the south side cotton lands are to receive the necessary initial irriga- tion.''
 This statement was made to a rep resentative of The Republican by w. H. Code of Los Angeles, consulting en- gineer for the Goodyear Tire & Rub Der company, and its subsidiaries, who has just returned from a visit to the damaged portion of the Consolidated canal.
 '"The recent flood in the Salt River took out some 1,4O0 feet of a heavy competed gravel bank that had with stood previous floods for a period of 25 years. Before water can be had again in the Consolidated canal some $500 feet of thorough-cut must be made through a high bluff composed chiefly of gravel and heavily com pacted boulders.
 Need Double the Number
 This morning there were about 3I3 head of stock at work, of which hear ly 100 were furnished by one interest, namely, the Southwest Cotton com pany, which company also furnish cd men, implements and two tractors. Other cotton growers are also respon- ing we'll to the call, appreciating that the needs are great, but many more men and teams are required when the electric lights are installed, double the present number of teams will be needed, and with such a force the water might be made available in time unless cemented gravel and boulderS are encountered in the thorough cut, which require blasting. I know from experience that there are layers Of this character so tightly cemented as to necessitate the use of much black powder, but they were at a greater depth than the grade now coute-n- plated, as I recall it.
 ''The plan of the Water Users asso- citation to not carry the cut to the orig inal grade is the only feasible one to consider at this time, since to make a cut to grade would be wholly inn practical.
 Temporary Repairs Expensive
 Temporary repairs might be eff fected if the water dropped rapidly. but they would be very expensive, and should not be resorted to if it will be possible to put the heavy cut through in time. One advantage of a large force on the ground is that MT. Elliott can take such steps as it necessary to push through any other plan, even though it be of makeshift character to put water into the canal without robbing his heavy work of a proper working force.
 Tn the meantime. the Water Users association will undoubtedly see to it that the waters of the High Line canal, and those from every south side pump ing plant will be used with maximum economy, and on cotton lands, since alfalfa and other crops will not suffer.
 Tt is my belief that the farmers If the Salt River valley will maintain their past record in the way of re- spending to critical situation of this nature. They have alweys been will ing to help to the limit of their means, and in this instance the situation is exceedingly critical, and the stakes are probably greater than any that have existed in the past

CONVICT RISKS H|SL|FE TO SAVE
 HIS FOREMAN $
Florence Prisoner Covers eProstrate Body of Guard With His Own to Protect It From Falling Rock in Blast

ProVing himslf a valuable member or society, even though he is doing tune Tn the state penitentiary be- cause he was adjudged otherwise, a powerful Mexican, named Pete Salinas, has just won the highest re- gard of the prison authorities. accord ing to word just brought here by P. R. Mllnes, secretary to the governor
 salinas saved the life of his fore man, Shorty" Mcdonald, last week at great risk of his own. regardless of the fact that he had particular grudge against the foreman. Mcdonald was caught in premature blast and knocked senseless by falling rock, Whereupon Salinas rushed to his res- cue before all the rock from the blast had descended. and covered McDon- aids prostrate body with his own Another rock landed upon Salinas head and nearly felled him, but he rallied from the blow and stuck to the purpose he had undertaken
 Forgets iII-Feeling
 A second blast was due at any mo- ment, and Salinas knew that the danger from it would be worse than the danger from the first one He man and ran with him to the safety zone. Mcdonald regained consciousness soon afterward and sustained no ill effects from the shock.
 The former ill-feeling between the two was occasioned by the discipline over Salinas which Mcdonald as fore man had to maintain. Salinas was doing time on a burglary charge and was rated a troublesome man in the camp, powerful enough to be a possi ble source of danger and with a dis position that was spelling under the prison restraint. It is said that he particularly objected to enforced labor and that on one occaS he had wan tonly cut up the tires of a prison auto, just to express his feelings.
 It is not believed a. the prison that Salinas is any fonder of work than he ever was, but he now is accorded a high standing as a red blooded man.
