accompany the committee to their
car where there were several more
men, it is said.

TRUCK LOAD OF
CREAM BURNS UP

A truck valued at $4,000 owned by A.
r. Dunham of Ell Centro and 70 cans or
cream belonging to the It. M. Dairy
company estimated to be worth 81 800
burned up Wednesday evening at 1880
O clock at the White Service station
at Seeley as a result of a explosion OF
the gas tank in the truck. Durham
was severely burned in the chest and
arms and was taken to the Ell Centre
hospital, where he is reported to be i'm
proving. -,
Dunham was hauling cream from Ell
Centre to San Diego. He stopped for
gasoline at Seeley. An excess amount
of fuel trickled from the hose onto
the exhaust pipe igniting the gasoline
and causing an explosion of the tank.
Tommy White, proprietor of the service
station, was also burned by the sudden
blaze, but after diving headlong into a
tank of water, backed up his own au'
tomobile and pulled the flaming truck
away. from the building.
Dunham purchased the truck only
two weeks ago, it is understood, and
was hired by the Mountain Express
company to haul cream to San Diego
for the T. M. Dairy company. The
owner carried $1,000 insurance.

ON CONSTANCE

LOS ANGELES, June 1.-While Ru-
dolph Valentino, screen star, was Ill
court defending his marriage today,
Constance Talmadge equally famous
film sweetheart, is asking divorce.
Because the case had been set unex-
pectedly, only casual spectators were
present when the actress took the stand
before Judge Summerfield and told OF
her welded unhappiness with John /.
Pialoglou, New York tobacco manufac-
turer.
Miss Talmadge was dressed modishly
in grey with a chic silver hat with a
brim that almost completely hid her
features. Her voice was harsh as she
snapped out her story in short, quick
sentences.

through with married life," she said.
"He told me to pack my trunk. He
told me to get out. -
Mrs. Margaret Talmadge, mother of
the actress, testified in behalf of lrer
daughters claim, adding that Pialo-
gou's treatment had caused Constance
to suffer nervous breakdown.
They were married in Greenwich,
Conn.,, a year ago.

or defense and Judge Summerfield,
without comment, granted Miss Tai
madge an interlocutary decree.

FOR STRIKE

CHICAGO, June 1.-Claiming two
grievances, pay slashes and disobedi-
ence of railroads to orders of the
United States railroad labor board,
railroad department of the American
Federation Of Labor prepared for a
strike today.
Decision to send out a strike vote
call was made after Bert M. Jewell
served notice on the railroad board
that unless carriers were made to obey
rules laid down for shop employees, the
unions would no longer follow direc'
tions.
According to Jewell the men will
certainly vote in favor of strike.
In face Of this, the board today pre-
pared to chop an additional $50,000,-
900 from the pay of workers.
The new decision cuts the pay of all
shop employees and follows closely the
slash of week ago which took $780,
100000 from the pay of maintenance
of way workers.
Under the decision apprentices are
trimmed five cents an hour; helpers,
five; mechanics, seven; freight car men
nine and passenger car men seven.

ers has already been printed, it was

Grand Jury Begins Secret

Resolution

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Wood
ruff-Johnson resolution providing for
an investigation of the alleged laxity OF
the department of justice and the war
department in prosecuting war grafters
was given its death blow today.
BY q vote of to 4, the house rules
committee revoked it's action of May 3,

time possible to prosecution of pending
war graft eases.

F<Lef's Go to Work"
Courthouse Slogan

"Let's go to work -
This slogan, offered by Chairman
Ross r. Hickcox, expressed the sentl-
ment of the meeting last night at the
Palace theater to boost for courthouse
bonds.
General discussion of the bond situa-
tion was had, and attention OF those
who should be most interested in their
success, and it is hoped to overcome
this attitude by hard and consistent
work between now and the time the
polls close on election day. :
Various suggestions were offered to
arouse the public to the necessity OF
being vitally interested in the court
house bonds, and to urge those who
would ordinarily leave the valley when
school closes, to remain over until after
election. 1t is estimated by the com
mittee in charge that 100 ears will be
required to help get voters to the polls
on June 12 and anyone who can spare
car on that day is requested to send
his name to A. H. Kellar of the First
National Bank or to Ell CentrO cham
Der of commerce headquarters.
Reports were received last night
from members of the Imperial county
courthouse committee representing all
parts Of the county. 1t was the general
opinion that both proposed bond issues
for courthouse and county fair will
carry by a safe margin at the special
county election to be held June IL.
The report that aroused the most en-
thusiasm and comment was that of a
committeeman from the north end OF
the valley. He stated that sentiment
among residents in the Calipatria, Nj
land and Westmoreland districts is
rapidly crystaliing in favor of both
county bond issues.
Members of the committee reporting
conditions on the east side of the
valley were just as sanguine of the
election results in that section of the
county. A campaign of education, to
demonstrate that the savings of the
county, by new courthouse, would bal
ance the expense of carrying the bonds
has been working so successfully that
the bugaboo of increased taxes has
been eliminated in the minds Of many
electors.
This noon at the chamber of com
merce headquarters, the city of Ell Cen
tro was districted into 16 zones for the
purpose Of conducting campaign OF
soliciting every voter to ascertaining
how each stands on the courthouse bond
question. Each zone will be canvassed
by team headed by captain.
Among captains volunteering to pilot
teams include Rodney Herman, Herman
Brewer, r. H. Cary, j. A. Mum, ]. B.
Fuller, Ross Hickcox and A. H. Keller.
Other men will be appointed by Ross
Hickcox, commander-in-chief, this af-
ternoOn.
The 16 teams will place the bond is
sue squarely before every registered
voter in the city during the "hammer-
ing drive" which will be conducted day
and night from now until June II. The
members of the teams will endeavor to
persuade all voters to remain in the
valley until the day after election.

VALLEY MELONS ON
WAY TO MARKET

Two carloads of cantaloupes, the first
to leave Imperial Valley this season,
were shipped from Brawley last night,
to eastern markets. The cars'were made
np, of pool shipments from several
growers and are reported to have been
excellent specimens of melons. 1t is
predicted they will bring record prices
in the eastern markets.
Horticultural Commissioner F. w.
Waite says shipments of cantaloupes
this year from Imperial Valley will
amount to at least $4,000 ears, from 80,
900 acres put in this year. This is con
siderable increase over last year when
1866 carloads were shipped. The in
crease would he even larger, if the
weather had not been so cold this
spring, making late season and killing
many vines. Considerable damage was
done by aphis, thrips and cucumber
beetles.
Shipments of watermelons are expect
ed to exceed last year Is shipments of
1899 carloads. Growers are certain that
at least $500 cars will be the production
this year.
While there has been great increase
in the number of acres put in grapes
this year, the actual increase in ship
ments will increase but 20 per cent, due
to the fact that the greater portion OF
the new vines will not be bearing this
year. Last year 1853 cars were shipped
and it is estimated that this year s
figures will exceed 200 cars.
There will be no loading of melons
this year after o clock at night due to
tho fact that loading platforms are not
equipped with electric lights, making it
impossible to inspect shipments. This
year there is to be a'strict inspection OF
all shipments made. Growers and dis
tributors are cooperating with inspect
ors to see than none but first class
melons 60 to market.

tricity yesterday from the Holton In
terurban power line, carrying l5,OOo
volts, according to witnesses of the
deadly display.
Shocked insensible and scorched by
the destroying current, Proffitt drop
ped 20 feet to the ground, crushing his
skull in the fall, yet he survived nearly
IL hours.
According to R. A. Stevenson, fore

Proffitt was employed, as the outfit
was crossing the Holton Interurban rail
road tracks at the Dogwood road north
east of Ell Centre, a steel boom caught
on the wires 20 feet from the ground.
Proffitt was detailed to ascend the
boom and to slip the wires off the end.
Proffitt did not strike the power lines
carrying $4,000 volts. He was working
at it when the current darted from the
power wire upon him.
The deceased had been in the employ
of the water company for four weeks.
He was honorably discharged from the
U. S. army after two years in the avia-
tion service and was only 81 years old
He is survived by mother and father

ed date packing plant was indicated
this morning when G. E. Lewis, well
known operator of the Wilfreda ranch

growers in Brawley erection of pack
ing house at cost of $4,000 was de-
termined. Committees were appointed
