FARM CENTER WORK
WINS PRAISE

John w. Scott, of the U. s. land
office at FL Centre made his speech re-
Gently at the Sunset Eastside and Ala
mo-Verde farm center meetings Occas-
ions for complimenting the centers on
the useful work they are doing i'll their
respective communities.
"Before~ taking up my, allotted sub
ject this evening, / cannot foregO say
ing a few words regarding your Farm
Centers,' he said in part:
81 have been close observer of
these the past few weeks in which |
have been among you in behalf of the
county fair. They create, in great
measure, your development and ad
vancement in your communities which
is much in evidence in all of your
community centers.
cit is this geeting acquainted with
each other in your communities that
makes these gatherings a source of de-
velopment in all your efforts. You are
cementing friendships among yourselves
and creating within yourselves grand
ideas.
Further, you are not only by these
efforts raising your standard of culture
and development, but you are leaving
with your young people, whom j see so
much in evidence before me this eve
ming, pleasant memories of the happy
days they enjoyed in the farm centers
of their youth.
Common sense seems to prevail in
your farm eenters to a great degree.
1t is a rock upon which you are build
ing your future success.
"Do not under estimate your own
powers to develop, to accomplish, and
there is no limit to your possibilities.
cit is to this, your good Judgment,
am going to appeal this evening in
behalf of the county fair.''

Drai11ageAssurance
Included In Bonds

During the past few dayS it has been
made apparent to officials of the I'm
perial Irrigation district that misappre-
hension exists with regard to procedure
governing of bonds by an irrigation dis
trict and the expenditure of the money
after the bonds have been voted. On the
official ballot which will be used in the
election Of June |, the question will be
on the issue of $7,500000 i'll bonds with
out any segregation of the amounts or
specification that the money is to be
used for particular purposes.
This has given rise to the inquiry
whether in voting the bonds the farmers
will have assurance that $2,5OO,O0O will
be used for the purpose of installing q
system of deep drainage. On this point
the following is given out by the irriga-
tion district:
"In all bond issues called and held
under the California irrigation district
act it is necessary, first to obtain the
permission of the California Bond Ger
tification commission for the issuance
of the bonds. The commission, in order
to pass upon the question, requires re-
port of the engineer, setting forth the
purposes for which the money will be
expended -
''In the case of the $7,50o,000 bond
issue now before the people of Imperial
Valley the report of the chief engineer
of the Imperial irrigation district to
the bond certification commission has
been made public and covers the subject
in detail, setting out fully the purposes
for which the money is to be used, name
ly $5,000,000 to acquire the Mutual and
$2,500,000 for drainage.
"When these bonds are voted, any eX
penditure of money derived from the
sale of the bonds must be first approved
by the Bond Certification commission
and must be in accord with the report
of the engineer Heretofore approved by
them.
''The form of the ballot on which the
vote will be taken is the form required
by law and expenditures of the bonds
under it will be limited as before men
toned. -

Republicans Say Upheaval
Will Involve Former
High Officials
DAUGHERTY DEFENSE
Congress Gets Tip Attorney
General Will Come
Back Hard

WASHINGTON, May 81" Scnsa-
tional exposures, involving former
high government officials will be made
soon in connection with alleged war
frauds, according to word that was go
ing to the rounds in Republican ranks
i'll congress today.
In both the senate and the house cor
ridors the "tip'' was passed among
majority members that "political at
tacks on Attorney General Daugherty
will be answered by dramatic action.
AS one Republican, "A close friend of
Daugherty, put it, "the lid is about to
be blown off this war graft thing, and
the mess that will be revealed to view
will not make 4 pleasant sight for some
of those who have been so violently as
sailing the present administration.
The report that "disc losureS' are to
be made apparently originates from
source close to the department of
Justice.
Favorable action by the rules commit
tee i'll authorizing prosecution by the
Woodruff resolution ordering probe of
war grafters, will be considered by the
rules committee Thursday, it was
learned today.
Spy Charge Made in Senate
WASHINGTON, May 27.--In support
of his charge that Attorney General
Daugherty is shadowing members of
congress who criticize him, Senator Car
away, rkansas, today read the senate a
telegram advising him that Daugherty is
having him "looked up" in Arkansas.
Caraway said he would like to know
how much of the 100000 appropriated
by congress for .Daugherty's s use in pros
ecuting war grafters would be used ia
shadowing representatives and senators
and how much IN furnishing criminals.
Caraway also charged that spies from
Daugherty's office searched mail of
Representative Woodruff, Michigan,
leader of the fight in the house for an
investigation of war fraud cases.
Evidence indicates,' Caraway said,
that two sacks of Woodruff IS mail
were, trailed by Daugherty's men and
searched at the postoffice.
"'Thesc spies are not to protect the in
forests of the government, but Harry
Daugherty,' Caraway charged
While Caraway was making his
charges against Daugherty in the SEN
ate, Representative Johnson, Republi
can, South Dakota, was making another
unsuccessful attempt in the house to
force action on his resolution calling for
an investigation of alleged laxity in war
fraud prosecutions.

FAWCETT DENIES
STRIKE REPORT

Local cantalOupe growers scout the
published reports of strike among can
taloupe pickers and particularly that
part OF the report which has to do with
alleged activities in Mexico. To Press
reporter, Will S. Fawcett stated this
morning that there is no strike and in
fact could not be from the very nature
of things, because no one can 90 on
strike who is not yet at work The can
taloupe harvest is not yet in progress
and will not be for q week or 10 days
yet. AS q rule the rate of compensa-
tiOn has been accepted on basis of II
cents per crate. Any "hold-Outs' thai
there may be III individual eases in re-
spect to an acceptance of this figure
cannot be said to constitute q strike and
cannot materially affect the general sit
uation.
The report Of activities in Mexico
among agitators Mr.. Fawcett character
ICES as absurd. There are no canta-
loupes grown in the section of Lower
California adjoining Imperial Valley, ac-
cording to Mr.. Fawcett. Mexican of
ficials could not order the men back to
work for the reason that there are no
plchtTS tHcrt, no ilCIuS lOr iHcnl 10 plCh
and if there were pickers and cantaloupe
fields there would be nothing to pick
for 10 days. Mr.. Fawcett declares that
the story is purely an invention and
without any basis of fact whatever.
On the score OF shortage of labor, Mr..
Fawcett says that there is no indica
tion of shortage. Cantaloupe pickers, as
q rule, do not arrive III the Valley until
the time of the harvest. They move
about from place to place as the fruit
is ready and their schedule does not
bring them to Imperial Valley points
until the work is ready and they leave
as soon as the harvest is over.

BELFAST CITY BLAZING DAY AND NIGHT
Valley Fights to
Bar Cotton Pest
OF Other States

Warning that prompt and effective
action is imperative if the cotton in
dustry of California is to maintain its
present freedom from insect and dis
ease infection was given the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of Imperial
county in regular session last night at
CaleXico, by II. II. Clark, manager of
the Colorado River Land company. His
statement supported a petition general
ly signed last night urging G.. H..
Hecke, state director of agriculture to
establish a tight quarantine against
raw cotton and cotton seed coming in
to the state, as a bar to the boil weevil
and pink boil worm.
This petition is to be formally. pre-
sented at a public conference called
on cotton protection at Sacramento
June 8.
California cotton fields, Mr.. Clark
explained, are the only cotton fields in
the world free of pest, the value of
which condition he emphasized by
noting that he had just sold 100000
worth of cotton at 10 points above the
New York market. Boil worm had been
found to some extent in Arizona, Mr..
Clark said remarking necessity for
quarantine against that state as well
as infected southern states. He prom
ised ample protection at Mexican ports.
Association Helps Fair
l.. M. Hutchinson also urged concert
ed action against cotton infection.
After opening the session, following
banquet and musical program at the
Calexico hotel, Mr.. Hutchinson yielded
to Vice President Meyers of Calipatria,
in the absence of President f. w. Cuff,
the association.
C. c. jenkins, county fair manager,
reported on the prospects and activi-
ties to date and the association voted
the fair organization $2l9 to overcome
deficit in expenditure which the
chambers felt they should supply.
Report was also received that the
state has an official with a lodometer
in the valley to check up on weights
carried by trucks on highways. Protest
against overlooking the roads was gen
orally expressed and the chamber
favors concerted action to protect coun-
ty roads, not under state jurisdiction.
Data to Boost Swing Bill
Mayor Bacon and Agent Renfrew
were prevented from attending the
by the lateness of the train
on which they were returning from Pes
cadero cut. They spent two days 60
ing over the irrigation system gather
ing data which Mayor Bacon will use
as a representative of the League of
at Washington in be-
half of Congressman Swings Boulder
= 4
Bacon discussed the system with the
engineers of the irrigation district ana
was able to get first hand information
relative to the flood menace and
changes in the channel of the Colorado
river which could not be obtained in
any other way than by being actually
on the scene. He succeeded in obtain
ing many pictures which will be used
to convince congress that prompt action
is necessary on Congressman Swings
bill.

BREEDLOVE JURY
DISCHARGED, BAIL
RELEASE GRANTED

The jury in the case of Phil Breed
love, charged with the killing of Rex
Samples ON February 5, was discharged
last night at ) clock by Judge M. w.
Conkling, having been unable to reach
decision after being out more than 4S
hours. Jurors reported they stood
eight for acquittal and four for con-
viction from the first ballot and that
it had been impossible to make any
changes on the following ballots.
Addressing the jury, Judge Conkling
thanked them for their services but
expressed his regret that they had been
unable to reach a decision. He stated
that in this particular case, it is highly
improbable that any jury will bring
in verdict greater than manslaughter
and the jury should have taken this
fact into consideration, in an endeavor
to avoid the expense of a second trial
to the county.
At the request of the defendant s
counsel, Judge Conkling set the time
of the second trial for Monday, Nov
ember 20, and admitted him to bail
in the sum of $4,000 Strong objec-
tion to such long postponement of tfro
trial and admission of the defendant
to bail was raised by District Attorney
Simon, and Assistant District Attorney
Scott, bnt Judge COnkling, in denying
the objection pointed out that the court
calender is crowded at present and it
would be impossible to have another
trial of the Breedlove case until next
fall without setting aside other cases
which are pending The court stated
that as the majority of the jury had
voted for acquttal, he felt justified in
admitting the defendant to bail
