WASHINGTON, May 19.-Choice of

chief justice of the United States; who
died this morning, is one of the most
widely discussed subjects in the ma
tiOn's capital. Although speculation
centered chiefly about the name Of
former President Taft, there were
many indications that President Hard
ing was far from a decision and might
find the selection of a successor a diff
ficult one.
Another, whose name has been re-
peatedly linked with the post is that
of Secretary of State Hughes, a mem

1916 to accept the republican nomina-
tion for president. One circumstance
suggested as bar to his transfer to
the high office, is the prominence as
sumed by Hughes as secretary of state

Chief Justice Edward Douglass
White is scion of a family of Judges
and tor many years was, strictly speak
ing, the lone representative Of the
South on the Supreme bench. His
knowledge of civil law is generally re-
garded as the most profound of any
man that ever sat on the bench of the
Supreme Court Of the United States.

admitted to the bar in 1868, became a
sugar planted on the lowlands of Louis
lana and held repeated commissions as
public official.
In 1874 he was elected senator in the
LOUISIANA legislature and four years
later appointed associate Justice of
the Louisiana supreme court.
Chief Justice White became a ma
tional figure in 1891 when he entered
bitter senatorial contest in Louisiana
ana was chosen to succeed Senator
Eustls. He was in the senate three
years before he was elevated to the
bench of the Supreme court of the
United States by President Cleveland
IN 1894. after two New Workers had
been nominated and failed of confirm

cedent of SS years.

Cuts in. Salaries. and. Ex-

'g-r--..,ssy,sTgNE3 - -

Following the report of the county
grand jury on the special audit Of the
public funds Of the county, showing an
enormous increase in the cost of ad-
ministering the different departments
of the county government, and Dartic-
ularly in the schools and highways and
the county farm, the board of super
visors held special meeting attended
by Supervisors Brooks, Pulliam
Adams and Anderson, and carefully
considered the report that had been
made to Judge Marvin w. Conkling.
The supervisors were unanimous in
urging economy in public eXpendi-
lures and reduction Of all expense
accounts in every way possible.
The board agreed that it was Dos
sible to reduce the tax levy for this
year by at least 80 cents on the $l0G,
and adopted the following resolution
in accordance with the action taken:
Whereas, good business judgment
and economy in public affairs, owing
to present financial conditions in I'M
perial county, require that all public
officials and public bodies economize
to the utmost in the expenditure of all
public monies; and,
Whereas, the Board of Supervisors
finds that it will be possible to reduce
the tax rate for the ensuing year in
an amount approximating soc; and,
Whereas, it appears that material
reduction can be made by other public
bodies in the County of Imperial
therefore,
Be it Resolved, that all public of
ficials and public bodies, be called up
on, and urged to economize in the full
est measure possible in compiling their
budgets of expenses for the ensuing
year; and,
Be it further resolved, that a copy
of this resolution be forwarded to each
official, and each official board in the
County Of Imperial. ~
The Taxpayers association in a
lengthy statement setting forth tie
condition Of the public funds and the
high rate of taxes sent a communica-
ton to members of the different coun-
ty, township and city boards of school
trustees, urging the utmost economy
in the conduct of school affairs, and
urging drastic cuts in the salary and
expense budgets of the schools.

MYSTERIOUS
SHOTS HINT
At DESERT
TRAGEDY
Owner Of RiderIess Horse
and Loaded Pack Mules
Believed Victim of Battle
Near Border.

Sounds of number of shots south
of DiXieland, on the desert, and the
appearance of two pack mules and a
saddle horse at the home of Hydro
grapher Robertson of Imperial Water
company No. IL, near .ilat place, led
customs men and county officers to be
lleve that two men may be dead or ser
iously injured somewhere in the desert
near the Mexican bordr Because of
the sandstorm Investigators were bad
+ ". handicapped in the search for fur
ther trace of the men.
Mr. Robertson heard several shots
IN the desert Tuesday, and two more
Wednesday afternoon soon after
which the horse and pack animals APP
peared. One of the mules was loaded
with three and one-half cases of whis-
KY on a pack saddle The other an
parently had lost similar load, his
bach. being bruised and cut as if the
animal had rolled and caused the pack
to come off. The rider of the saddle
animal, it is believed, fell from the
mount. The reins were still over the
horses neck, while the custom among
men who frequent. the open SPACES is
to drop the reins over the animals
head when they dsmount.
Deputy Customs Collector Brown.
Inspectors Kemp and Schlanze and
Under Sheriff Barker went to the de-
sert but were unable to find any trace
OF the owners of the animals.
The horse and mules were left with
the rancher, but their equipment and
the liquor were taken to Calcxico to
the customshouse, pending the out
come OF the investigation of the case.
lhe horse has never before been seen
by any of the officers, but the pack
mules have been identified as having
been passed into the United States
recently by customs men, when Ger
man, who said he was a miner, paid
duty on them.
One theory of the case advanced by
the officers is that the owner of the
pack mules and Mexican line-rider
engaged in a gun fight, in which both
were injured, and that they are now
unable to get out of the desert. This
/ version Is strengthened by the two
shots fired yesterday, "a hours after
the first shooting was heard and
winch they believe to have been signals
of distress.
Frank Verdugo, chief of the Mexican
customs force in MsNicali, is investi
eating the case from the Mexican side
TO ascertain whether or not his line
riders stationed in that territory know
ANYTHING of the case.
