DAVIS is HELD
ON CHARGE OF
{ 0 NSP|RA A CY

Bob Davis, credited with being con-
nected with outrages of every kind
since his first visit to the valley is
again in the tolls of the law.
Davis was arrested late yesterday
on a charge of conspiracy against the
United States government. He was
brought from Imperial where he was
arrested, and appeared before Com
missioner Whitelaw. lhaii being placed
at $4,000. DAVIS, is haei *, .i1~ co. ifty
jail, having as yet been unable to raise
the bond.
Davis arrest was made in connec-
tion with the Dodson and Olivas snug
Cling case. Dodson and Olivas were
caught attempting to bring some G5
gallons of whisky into the United
States in a wogan load of hay.
The clause under which Davis is
held provides for the arrest of any
two or more persons cOnspiring
against or attempting to defraud the
United States government, and de
mands a fine of not more than $40, 900
or sentence of from one to two years
Imprisonment, or both fine and I'M
prisonment.
Whitelaw stated that other charges
may be preferred against Davis, who,
he insists, is the most notorious char
acter in the valley.

PLAN TO CROWD
IMPERIAL FROM
CANAL PROJECT

Imperial Valley, whose citizens will
pay $4,000 of the 100000 authorized
by the proposed Kincaid bill which
would provide for the construction of
an all-American canal, will have a
very small, in fact minority repre-
sentation in the meeting in San Diego
to be held for the purpose of consid-
ering the construction of such a canal,
according to Mark Rose of the Impe-
rial Irrigation District.
In letter received by the Imperial
Irrigation District from the depart
ment of the interior at Washington it
is stated that % additional delegates
will be appointed to attend the San
Diego conference. Of this number
five will be appointed by the state ad-
iutant of the American Legion, Fred
Bebergall, and the remainder of rep
resentatives appointed by the cham
ber of commerce of Phoenix, Los
Angeles and San Diego and of ap-
pointments from various districts
which are, according to Rose, either
disinterested or inimical to the pro-
ject.
The situation becomes particularly
hazardous with the increasing anxiety
of various cities, corporations and
railroads to obtain control of the
power which will be incidentally de-
veloped with the project. The city Of
Los Angeles recently offered to parti-
ally finance the scheme for the water
power rights, and since then numer-
Gus similar offers have poured into
the headquarters of the project.
In addition to the attempts to gain
control of the water power rights pro-
tests and attempts at prevention are
coming from owners of land in Mex
leo, who object to the all-American
plan of the canal.
Rose says that the appointment Of
new delegates is merely an open at
tempt on the part of the enemies of
tn plan to prevent, if possible, it's
success, and at least to do their very
best to delay and to discountenance
the project.

The old saw referred to is that reput-

Judge Coles court rooms were
filled to overflowing with an enthus-
iastic crowd of home town boosters,
and if it be true that man is more
popular everywhere but his home
town then the fight is over, and the
lection of Judge Phi. D. Swing to

Ira f. Henrchsen was chosen as

the Imperial County Swing for Con-

headquarters as soon as possible with
preparations for u whirlwind cam

HARRISON of Seeley has changed his
registration and all democrats were
urged to change theirs, in order to
help Swing secure the nomination..
A resolution was passed by the
county republican club last night en-
dorsing Swing and all organizations
in the valley are requested to pass
similar resolutions at once and send
them to the headquarters. The next
meeting of the county committee will
be held Wednesday at S O'Clock in the
court house.
In San Diego Tuesday morning
there will be grand parade of auto
mobiles with the Swing for congress

canal. |. SURVEY
Water Men Offer Trouble If
Demands of Rose Are
Paid by Irrigation Board.
Situation Becoming More
Hazardous Daily. =

According to recent reports the
case of Mark Rose and his claims
against the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trlct are not apt to be paid. Numer-
Gus protests have come from various
water companies, arguing against al
lowing Rose his claim for $4,000, and
letter recently received from Sec
retary of the Interior Payne expresses
an extreme doubt that the work done
ny Rose was any material assistance
in the proposed canal project.
Rumors have also been circulated
alleging that certain bills credited to
newspaper expenses" were in reality
for publicity and not for ligitimar ,
advertising purposes.
In letter to Mark Rose from the
secretary of the interior, John Barton
Payne, Mr.. Rose is told just why his
data and plans were not accepted and
also given some good advice. The fol-
lowing is an extract from Secretary
Payne's letter:
"You are notified that your reports of
January 30, 1918, and the surveys,
specifications and estimates therein
given are rejected and disapprOved; !;
and said contract is declared void.
Under the circumstances you may
be equitably-though not legally
entitled to reimbursement for moneys
legitmately expended in your investi-
cation, to the extent that the results
Of such investigation can be utilized
in any program finally adopted for
the building of an all-American canal,
and while no obligation is or can be
assumed in this regard the depart
ment will look with favor upon your
reimbursement in connection with Il
comprehensive plan to provide ade-
tary to the Colorado river by means
Of an all-American canal"
1t will be noticed that Secretary
Payne states in his letter that he
favors the reimbursement of any
money which was legitimately spent
to further the plans of the all-Ameri-
can canal. The question which now
faces the District is whether the
money which Rose spent was spent
for anything which will help them in
the all-American canal plans. The
list of expenses which were submitted
to the board of directors is not very
clear in that it merely states that so
much money was spent Tor certain
tting, but does not state in what
manner the money was spent or wnat
was obtained for it.
Formal notice has been served on
the officers and directors OF the I'M
perial Irrigation District by the Off
GERS of seven mutual water com.
panies, that should the $4,000 claim
of the Laguna Water Company or
Mark Rose, be paid that the mutual
companies will Immediately institute
civil proceedings against the officials
of the district, or their bondsmen, to
recover and return to the treasury Of
the District the amount allowed by
the Imperial Irrigation District board.
The notice was signed by officers
of Nos. l, 3, a, 6, 8, 8 and IL water
companies, and it is the concensus of
opinion that many individuals in some
of the east side districts will lend
