The famons leaning tower OF Pisa
is Of pure white CaVara marble in the
Gothic style. It's departure from the
perpendicular has been variously In
terpreted, but there is little doubt that
IT arises from the softness OF the soil
on which Il stands and which has
given way.

EMPLOYMENT men
CALLED ACITATORS

Reported dissatisfaction AMONG Mexi-
can cantaloupe workers relative to the
scale of wages to be paid for picking
and packing melons is said by Frank
Spencer of Brawley TO be fostered by
Mexicans who have no real interest in
the cantaloupe workers other than to
sign them up for work, for which agi-
tators are paid a fee. Mexicans, who
make living by obtaining jobs for
their countrymen, he says, have been
urging the workers to hold out for pro-
hibitive wages and have been going
among those already signed up by con
tracts, with propaganda of various
sorts to induce them to break their
agreements.
Spencer stated that he employs large
numbers of Mexicans each year to handle
the cantaloupes and has never had any
trouble with them. This year he signed
up his men as usual on terms satisfac-
tory to them and has since been told
by the agitators that they would force
his men to refuse to work. He expects
to commence picking cantaloupes Mon
day and said he would take any lawful
measures necessary to protect his men
and his property from the trouble max
ers. He says the pickers have always
been we'll paid for the work they do and
would be satisfied with wages offered
this year had it not been for trouble
makers.

COAST LEAGUE MAY
DEFY JUDGE LANDS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.--Pacific
Coast League directors gathered in San
Francisco today to put to test for
the first time decision by Judge Ian
dis, baseball dictator.
They will consider what move the
league is to make in the matter of the
suspension of VIM. II. Klepper and
James r. Brewster, president and vice
president, respectively, of the Portland
club as result of their part in the So
called Kenworthy case.
League officers and fans on the in
side today saw these courses which the
league might take:
Support Lands and demand that
Brewster and Klepper withdraw from
management of the Portland club and
sell their interests.
Do nothing and let Judge Lands
worry.
Support Brewster and Klepper and
continue to recognize them as the heads
of the Portland organization.
The first course would mean total re-
organization of the Portland team.

GRAND JURY AFTER WO0LWlNE NOW
''MY SENSATIONS AS WATCHED
DOCTORS CUT INTO MY HEART
BY Otto Thome

CHICAGO, June 81 had been dis.
charged from the navy as a hopeless
invalid because of an abscess Oh the
left lung.
On three previous occasions / lad
undergone operations with ether, none
of which could be completed, because
of the .ethers effects.
Then DR.. Nelson II. Lowry took NE
under his care and soon after l was
placed on an operating table at the
Illinois Masonic hospital in Chicago.
Nerve block anesthesia was admin
istered to me and soon my entire left
side around the region of the lung
seemed to have gone to sleep.
My mind was clear though, and 7
laughed and joked with the nurses
while / watched the doctor remove
seven. of my ribs while lay in a sort
of half sitting position.
Then with his knife the doctor work
ed into my heart, so it seemed. opening
all the walls around the abscess.
Tt was fun to watch my heart throb.
/ even reached over and touched it.
Throughout all the operation / felt
no pain.
In fact it was amusing to watch my
internal organs. function.
No one can ever tell me that I have
no heart. know I have.
I have gained 40 pounds since my
heart was an open secret even to my
SELF.
Nerve block, the doctor told me, is
like local shutdown on great cleo
trical circuit.
Years ago when there was a break
in the line, engineers had to close the
whole power plant.
Now they merely plug out the af-
fected part and the rest of the mech
anism continues to function.
So surgeons have perfected meth-'
od of shutting off the nerve supply
for an affected part Of the body.
In this blocked area there is no sen
sation, and any repair can be made
without pain or discomfort, while the
rest of the body is functioning as
usual.

STEPHENS APPEALS
FOR FLOOD AID

SACRAMENTO, June 2.-An additi-
onal flood in the Colorado river of the
Palo Verde valley in Riverside county
is predicted for June, Governor VIM. D.
Stephens declares, in an appeal for aid
sent to Secretary of War Weeks today.
The predicted rise will be three times
that of the recent flood which inun-
dated $4,000 acres of land, caused the
loss Of 100000 in crops and left 800
residents of Palo Verde. Rannells and
Ripley, homeless, the governor says.
The coming flood will inundate an
additional 10000 acres of which $4,000
acres is under cultivation in the Palo
Verde county, declared the governor in
his appeal.
Governor Stephens suggests opening
Hauser Bend to divert the flood waters
back into their natural channel.
Immediate aid to prevent further de-
struction in the valley is urged.
