Gibraltar, Nov. 16.-Former Emper-

former Empress Zita are nearing their
place of exile on the Island of Ma.
deira. The British cruiser Cardiff,

Punishment of trouble-making for.

PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF
LIFE HEAR DR.. SAMM0NS.

That was a great crowd gathered
to hear DIR. Sammons at the First Bap-
tist church last night. People from
every walk Of life, and from every
church and sect in the city were there
and not one of them was disappointed.
The theme of the sermon was What
will you do with Jesus?" Twas =
great sermon, nothing of the emotion
al, just a splendid presentation of
the Christ and His teachings, and a
powerful plea to answer the question
with an acceptance OF Him as Lord
and Master.
The services at 3:45 and 7:30 today
will be the last OF these meetings, as
Dr. Summons will have to return to
his home on Friday. The people Of
Brunswick have shown in many ways
their appreciation of this good man
who so firmly established himself In
their affections during his more than
four years residence among them.
They have enjoyed his visit, his
preaching and the addresses that ne
has made to d number of the civic or
CARNATIONS. Those who wish to get
seats in the main auditorium tonight
would do well to go early.

COLONY
Big Tract in Mountains Near
Jacumba Springs to Be
Turned Into Magnificent
Hot Weather Retreat.

Plans are being completed by the
Elks of Imperial Valley for establish,
ing summer resort in the mountains
of 320 acres. where the families of
members of the Ell Centre and CaleXico
lodges will establish summer homes.
The site is one of the most beaut!-
full in the entire mountainous section
between Imperial Valley and the coast.
has an abundance of fine water and is
situated in natural valley, 5000 feet
above sea level.
The San Diego & Arizona railway
will establish a station on the tract
this week, and it is expected that with
in short time the erection of summer
homes will be started. A postoffice
and stores will be established, sewer
and water mains laid, dancing pavil-
ion erected and other steps taken to
make the little colony one of the beau
ty spots of Southern California.
A joint committee from the two val
ley lodges of Elks went over the
ground yesterday and tentatively laid
out program for the resort develop
ment which will be submitted to the
lodges at this weeks meetings.
1t is proposed to divide the little
valley into acre lots upon which men,
bers of the lodges will build summer
homes for their families which will be
easy of access for weekend visits and
which will provide an ideal place for
the women and children to spend the
heated period more economically than
has heretofore been possible.
The proposal has met with the en-
thusiastic approval of every member
of the lodge to whom it has become
known, and it is believed that after
this weeks meetings the plan will be
rapidly put into concrete form and the
work begun.

PESCADERO CUT
MAY NOT Be MADE

Prospect that the Pescadero- Bee cut
will not be made and that as an alter
native the Imperial Irrigation district
will spend part of the available money
for strengthening the Ockerson Level
against the flood waters of the Colo
RADIO river developed at the meeting of
the Irrigation District directors this
morning. During the discussion of
these two phases of the flood control
work the argument grew very heated
at times.
From the trend of the conversation
between President Nickerso nand Gen
eral Manager Cronholm it developed
that the contractors, Crowley 4
Shearer of Los Angeles, have submit
ted tentative bid of $4,000 without
being fully conversant with river con-
ditions, figures on which were given
them by General Manager CronhClm.
President Nickerson intinated that
the general manager had deliberately
scared them off" but this was denied
by Cronholm, who, in ampl!fying his
denial, stated that he had done nothing
more than to show them the real con-
dition of affairs and point out to botf
the contractors the possibilities that
might arise during the month of May
during whic hthey were to make tbs
cut, this data including all the avail
able figures on actual river conditions
in the past. Considerable argument
between the president and the genera
manager resulted, which was conclud
ed bv the statement of President Nick,
erson that the Pescadero cut was prac
tically a dead sisue and that othe,
means of safeguarding the protective
system must be found.
When the question of spending part
of the protective work money on til,
Ockerson levee was broached it me-
with the unanimous approval Of Di
rectors Nickerson, Brockman and Nc
Pherrin, but was opposed strongly by
Director Rose. who stated that he be
lieved it should be spent on the Vol
cano Lake levee where it would protec
the American side of the line.

BIG LEAGUE READY
FOR CALL OF UMPIRE
(Rv Associated Press)

NEW YORK, April 12.-Amid cere-
monies and decorations which have be-
come a fixed feature of the annual
event, the major league baseball sea-
son of 1921 will open tomorrow after
noon on the circuits of the National
and American Leagues. lnconpassed
by the blare of the bands, the swapping
of flags and the wierd toss by city or
government officials, selected to throw
out the first ball of the year, the play
ers of 16 teams will flash away on
their six month pursuit of pennants,
the winning of which entitled the VIC
tors to battle in the world SCI es, the
pinnacle of baseball.
Weather permitting, the schedules
will bring together in the National
league: Brooklyn at Boston; New York
at Philadelphia; Pittsburgh at Cincin-
matt and ST. Louis at Chicago, while
in the American league Cleveland
plays at st. Louis; Chicago at Detroit
Philadelphia at New York, and Boston
at Washington.
Each April within the memory of
the past four generations similar
scenes have been enacted without los
ing any part or their thrill or atfac-
tiveness and tomorrow baseball parks
will be thronged with the same type
of enthusiastic fans who have wit
messed the games of past years. Fol
lowing the world war the popularity
of baseball appeared to leap forward
with fervor. little anticipated by
either player or magnate and there is
little indication that the national game
has reached the zenith of its flight.
Record breaking crowds have wit
messed the various exhibition games
during the southern training trips and
advance sales of seats for tomorrow's
initial flag contests clearly indicate
that the baseball fan has increased ir
number since that October day wher

President Harding Advo-
Gates More Business In
Government and Removal
of Necessity for Burden
on the People.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Presi-
dent Harding in his first address to
congress announced that he would APP
prove a resolution to declare peace
with Germany with the necessary
qualifications essential to protect all
our rights, adding that it would be
idle to declare for separate treaties of
peace with the central powers of Eu-
rope on the assumption alone that
these would be adequate, because the
situation is so involved that our peace
engagements cannot, ignore. our old
world relationships in the settlements
already made; nor is it desirable to do {
so in preserving our own rights, con-.
tracing our future relationships, al
though declaring unreservedly against
the league of nations. sre
The president said the wiser course
seemed to be the acceptance of the
confirmation of our rights as already
provided under existing treaties, as
suming of course that this can be sep
arately achieved by such explicit re-
servations and notifications as to Sc
cure our absolute freedom from mad
visahe commitments and safeguard
our essential interests. association
of nations he said would not be found
ed until the whole world is at peace.
The president discussed at length
our foreign relations, taxation, tariff,
railroads, good roads, merchant ma
rne, aviation, the welfare of exserv-
ice men, and all other domestic prob
lens now confronting the country. AS
the principal subject of his message,
he said that the staggering load of
war debt must be cared for by orderly
funding and gradual liquidation. We
shall hasten the solution of the prob
lem and aid effectively in lifting the
tax burden if we strike resolutely at
expenditure. IL recommend less OF
government in business and great
deal more of business in government"
Discussing the readjustment of taxa
ton he stated that the country it is
not expected would approve the shift
ing of tax burdens, but is more inter-
ested in wiping out the necessity for
imposing them. He reaffirmed his be-
lief in protection for American indus
tries, urged immediate tariff revision,
with a permanent law later. He stat
ed that congress might speed up the
price readjustment by suitable inquiry
into economic conditions. and especial
ly urged good roads. both by land and
water, readjustment of freight tar
ifs, and the coordination of the var
ious agencies having to do with the
welfare of soldiers and sailors.

'BLUBEARO' IS
HAUNTED BY THE
SPO0KS OF DEAD
MUitiUpurderer Who Buried One
Of His Victims on Sugar Loaf
Has Gh0stIy Visitors.

The ghosts of his victims are haunt
ing "Bluebeard" Watson. superbigam-
ist and wife slayer, in his cell at San
Quentin.
Dispatches from San Francisco tell
of how Watson is terrorized nights by
the phantom figures of the women he
murdered although for months he ap-
peared as if he were comfortably re-
signed to his punishment.
The story of Watson's awful hallu-
cinations was disclosed when it was
found that he insists upon wrapping
a long, heavv towel around his head
aech night when he is locked in his
cell.
A guard noticed Watson covering
his head with the towel and asked why
he did it.
Il sleep better that way" the pris-
oner answered.
The guard said that Watson wraps
the towel arounr his head carefully,
completely covering his eyes and leav-
ing only small breathing space.
Officials at the penitentiary, GRIM
inologists and others investigated to
learn the real reason for Watson's pc
culiarity and decided that apparitions
of his victims appear to him nightly
as the work of his tortured conscience.
Watson was arrested in Los Angeles
by Deputy Sheriffs Bell and Couts and
an investigation revealed his career as
bigamist. Later he confessed having
married 80 women in different parts
of the country and of having murdered
nine of them. He was sentenced to
life Imprisonment after taking offic-
ers to lonely spot high up a mountain
side near Shepherds Bridge, where he
buried Nina Lee Deloney, one of the
women he killed and for whose murder
he was sentenced to life imprisonment

TOXIC, April 12.- Plans by the
Japanese government to send to Wash
ington commission of distinguished
japanese to take up the entire range
of so-called Pacific problems ince.ailng
mandates, the California alien act,
China, Siberia, immigration and arma-
ments, are understood to be in the pro-
cess of formation.
The note from Secretary Hughes, de-
claring that America does not intend
to abandon her rights to a peace set
tlement has served to crystalize the
conviction that the time has arrived
to bring about a solution to all of the
problems Of Japan and the United
States before their relations reach a
critical stage. z
The note from Secretary Hughes to
the Allies declaring America does not
abandon her rights in the peace set
tlement, especially concerning, German
overseas possessions has created pro-
found impression in Japan, and the
ooinion prevails among prominent
Japanese that the general situation
has gone SO far that it requires heroic
treatment to prevent the two nations
drifting farther apart.

posed to give out, the control of prices
obviously remains with the producer
also.
In view of these things, which are
supported by uneouivocal records. it
seems clear that, if the cooperative
marketing of cotton is to succeed, it
must be based primarily upon an as
sumption that completely ignores the
cannons of orthodox economies and
makes the supply in its relations to
price not only the cotton that is in eX-
istence, but only such part as may
be available for consumption. In
other words, the producer must con-
troll or steadily exercise command
ing influence on the amount of cotton
that move into consumption.
