POLICE SLAYER
BELIEVED TO Be
BELOW BORDER
Little Phil Alguin, Well KnoUn
in MexicaH as Drug Runner,
Reported There.

PHILIPPE Alguin's frequent visits to
the rendezvous Of drug traffickers in
MeXicali prior to the rsurder of De.
tectiVe Sergeant Fitzgerald in Los An
geles made him well known figure
on both sides of the international
boundary at Calexico, and some OF
those who are familiar with his ac-
tionS believe that he is now in hiding
below The international boundary, des.
plte the fact that reports from Los
Angeles say that he is still in that
city. One report has it that he was
seen there Wednesday night.
Nathan Brown, Alquin and another
drug addict were seen together in
Calexico only a few days before the
murder Of the Los Angeles deteo tive
who tried to arrest Alguin. Brown, a
negro, was arrested in the New
River bottoms near Calexico Monday
night and given 4 six months float
er" in the city recorders court the
following day, before the court learned
that he was an associate Of the &C
cused murderer
The opinion prevails in Calexico
that Alguin was in Mexicali 4 few
days before the shooting to obtain a
supply of drugs which he expected to
sell in Los Angeles, and that - was
i'll this connection that he was being
sought by the detective on the night
of the murder.
Persons who are familiar with tn.
life in the underworld of Mexicali de-
clare that there are several drug adj.
diets below the line who are wanted by
officers in various parts of California
MeXicali officers under the direction
of Police Inspector Llanos have forced
a number of the undesirables to leave
the Lower California capitol. Most of
them have been Appreciated by the
CaleXico police, but many of them
have slipped past the officers by
crossing the line far away from the
crossing at the customs house, escape
being easy of accomplishment because
of the great eXpanse of border which
is unguarded because of the small
number of men available for this duty.
Inspector Llanos has promised the
Calexico officers that he will arrest
and turn over to the American officers
any American who is wanted for crime
on this side of the international line,
and it is believed that should it be
proven that Alguin or his associates
are in MeXicali that they will be ar
rested and turned over to the Ameri-
can officers without the formality of
eXtradition.

DEMPSEY BULKS
BIG ALONGSIDE
OF CARPENTER
Challenger is Smallest Man in
Some Respects Who EUer
Fought for Championship.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Georges
Carpenter, challenger of Jack Demp-
sey, will be smaller, in several res
| poets than any boxer who has fought
| for the title in recent years. Tommy
Burns, from whom Jack johnson
Wrested the crown, was shorter but
heavier and more compactly bulls.
Bob FitZsmmons, on the day ne lose
the championship to jim Jeffries at
Coney Island weighed 172 pounds, al
most exactly what Carpenter viii
weigh when he climbs into the ring.
Dempsey will be larger than Car
pentier in all save two important
measurements. Carpenters ldvan-
tages will be in his wonderfully de-
veloped lower. limbs and his neck. The
Frenchman's calf measurement is Is
3-4 inches as compared with Dempsey
at Is Ia. Carpenters neck meas
urement is 16 ga inches with Demp-
sey's a quarter inch smaller.
Dempsey will outweigh Carpenter
by about 20 pounds. He will stand
ono and onehalf inches taller He will
outreach his rival by one inch, "a
inches to 70. In wrist and ankle de-
vclopment they are nearly equal, only
Il fraction Of an inch giving Dempsey
the advantage in each case. Dempsey's
biceps measure 1G IA inches as COM
pared with Carpenters IA IL. Car
pentier's back muscles, however, are
magnificent part of his development
and from these he will draw most of
his hitting power.
IN several respects, Jess Willard,
the Kansas giant, whom Dempsey
knocked out in three rounds. was the
largest champion. In several other
respects, the more compact Jim JEFF
fries outstripped Willard easily. Will
lard, for his size, was not developed
as highly, in physical way, as several
others who have held the title.
Willard lat fighting weight. scaled
240 pounds and lowered feet inches
in height. His reach Of SO 1s2 inches
was far greater than that of any
other title holders. His chest measure
ment of SO inches, normal. was seven
inches less than that of jeff" JEFF
fries wrist, neck, biceps. and ankle
development was greater than that
of Willard and Willards's calft meas
urements were only fraction of an
inch larger than Jeffries'.
Following are the physical measure
ments of the champion and challenger:

!. LANDS
Relief Act is Passed to Pro-
tect Mexicali Residents
Who Were Dispossessed
by Recent Court Decision.

According to advices last night
from Mexico City, the Mexican Ma
tional Congress, as a special relief act,
has enacted measure restoring to
MeXicali residents their homes and
lands which, some months ago, by a
decision Of the Supreme court Of Mex
leo, were awarded to A. r. Andradc
Of Los Angeles and DR.. w. T. Heffcr-
nan of CaleXico.
For some time now the Supreme
court decision has been upheld by the
Court of First Instance, at Mexicah,
which, in enforcing the decree. has
compelled the tenants affected to pay
rents to Andrade and Heffernan.
information of the action at the
Mcxicali capital came via mcXicaii
in telegram from Epigmenio Ybar
III, governor of the northern district
of Lower California. Ricardo PH'1'""o.
congressman from the same district,
and Enrique Merida, president of the
MeXicali Proprietors' association,
which organization was instrumental
in getting the DEGREES compelling rent
payments.
Practically the entire townsite of
Mexicali is affected by the restoration
act, along with property valued at
mil ions.
Dr.. Heffernan in a dispatch from
Mexicali, was quoted yesterday as eX-
pressing himself satisfied with the
action of congress, stating that it was
"out of the question" for the Mexican
government to conliscate The property
awarded him and Andrade without
due compensation. IF proper pay
ments are made by the congress there
will be no opposition from those to
whom the property was awarded by
the highest Mexican court said the
doctor.
Among the contenders for the prop
erty was the Antonio Flores estate,
which contended rightful ownership
is vested in deeds granted Flores.
However, the claim never was pressed
in court.
Andrade obtained the land-100,o0O

Interstate Commerce Com
mission Has Ordered Re-
opening of California
Freight Question on Com
plant of Citrus Growers.

The Associated Press dispatches
from Washington this morning carries
the cheering information that til. In
terstate Commerce commission had
agreed to reopening Of the case in
voiving freight rates from California
on the petition and complaint of the
citrus growers.
While it is understood from The tone
Of the message received that the re-.
opening is granted alone to review the
charges on citrus fruits it is expected
| that the melon growers and shippers
will take advantage Of the rehearing
to again lay their troubles before the
commission and endeavor to secure 4
further reduction than the one grant
ed, which went into effect yesterday.
The date of the new hearing will be
announced probably on Monday, and
at meeting Of the shippers in Draw
ley tomorrow some steps will be
taken to urge further action on the
cantaloupe rate.
Cantaloupe shipments are holding
up well. although the aphis, a diseas,
of the leaf of the cantaloupe vine
which stops its growth, seems to have
hit at least half the growers. L. is
being seriously complained of and
some growers let it get the upper hand
of their crop ebfore starting in ID Kill
it out. Every effort was made BY
Farm Advisor Garthwaite and his as
sistants to get the growers to prepar,.
for the trouble, but at the time .here
was much uncertainty as to what the
future would bring.
Shipments Tuesday were 500 ears,
against 240 cars the same day q wear
ago, and 228 the same day two Yeas
ago. Total shipments to date this
season are 5476 cars. against 4717
cars to the same date last wear, and
$3.50 cars to the same date two years
ago.
Figuring the acreage and shipments
of proceeding years, the total this year
will run 300 cars, against 5000 ears
a year ago. The original estimate by
the railway officials of IL 900 ,.crs
has been discarded for several reasons.
High freight rates and failure to get
satisfactory reductions, aphis, cool
weather, hard winds, and a doubtful
market, all had share in cuttin.
down the figures. though many ship
per will insist today that the total
volume may yet pass 10000 cars.
The second peak shipment of the
season was encountered earlv in the
Week when the shipments which he'd
been restricted for few DAYS jumped
nearly so uer cent and because OF the
warm weather has been holding lp
ever since.
If an early hearing on the rate mat
ter is had and the Interstate Com
lnerce commission grants the needed
reduction the last of the season will
be the most prosperous wind-up val
ley growers have ever enioyed. ss%
