REICHSTAG REJECTS CHANCELLO
Santa Ana Girls
Arrive to PLny
Junior College

r
b One of the athletic events of the
season which will be of much local
interest is scheduled to take place
tomorrow night when the girls
basket ball team of Central Junior
College meeta the Santa Ana Junior
College squad in the local gymnas-
ium.
Following the game, which accord
ing to predictions will prove to be
a snappv contest, the public is in
vited to inspect the new $4,000
gymnasium which has been recent
" completed. Today considerable
portion of the $2,100 worth of ap-
oaratus is being installed, and every
thing will be in shape for exhibition
purposes by tomorrow evening.
As this is the first general invita-
ton which has been extended to the
public to 90 through the splendid
building, which with its moderH
equipment is equal and in many
respects superior to that found IN
far larger cities, many people VIII
doubtless avail themselves CT tins
opportunity. D.,
according to Coach Evalcna Bak-
er who knows the condition OF the
local team better than any one eHe,
the Ell Centro girls are in excellent
shape for the game. The handicap
of playing out of doors which they
came up against at Riverside, aftef
having done all their practice IN
doors will of course be elimlnated
in this contest.
The line up of the local squad is
as follows: Forwards, Mildred Hub
bard, Anna Belford, Annette Dam
eron; guards, Elda Low, Edith bew-
lev, Avalon Courtney, Margaret
Gates; centers, Dorothy Tucker and
Margaret Mason; substitutes, Bea-
trice Mason, Julia Bransby and VII
la Heffington.
This afternoon the Santa Ana
girls arrived here with their coach
and will be entertained by the Cen
tral Junior College girls at a ban
ouet at the school at 8 0 o'clock, fol.
lowing WHICH they will be guests at
various private homes in the c-ty
for the night. .... 4ta

The draft proposed by The British
government and Instructions cover.
ing its presentation to Washington
are said to have been received here
at the British embassy.
An agreement between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain on the
treaty virtually has been concluded
Because of the possibility of last
minute. hitch, both governments are
refusing to comment until the
treaty is actually signed.
One question is understood still
to be under discussion is how the
traditional three mile limit at sea
is to be extended for the purpose of
the treaty, whether the pact will
name II miles or extend the limit
by some other phrase. ,
The treaty is to have two main
features:
l. To permit British ships to
carry liqour under seal into Am
Crican waters.
2. To extend the right of search
at sea beyond three miles to permit
the United States more adequately

The pact is expected, however, tc

Washington Over
Measure

Recommendation that the state Of
Arizona endorse the so-called ''Col-
orado River Compact, and urging
various organizat ions in Arizona TO
use their influence to this end, was
made by the district Kiwanis CON
vention recently held i'll Yuma, ac-
cording to telegram received to-
day by Secretary McIver, of the I'm
perial Irrigation District, from Col
onel B. f. Fly of Yuma.
The convention unanimously
adopted the following resolution:
"In view of the great benefit
that will accrue to the states com
prising the upper and lower basins
of the Colorado river from the de-
velopment of the power and irri-
CATION resources of that stream, we
urge the immediate ratification of
the Colorado river compact by Ari-
zona, as an immediate and indis-
pens; BILE preliminary to government
al aid, and we favor the early call
ing of a special session of the Ari-
zona legislature for the purpose of
ratification.
''We also favor the early con.
struction by the federal govern
ment of dam in the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado at such a point as
may be selected by engineers work
ing under the supervision of the
Secretary of the Interior, to the end
not only that the resources of the
river itself may be conserved and
put to beneficial use, but that Yuma
and the Imperial Valley may be
protected by adequate flood control
against the peril now constantly
confronting these communities by
devastation from floods that may
at any time occur.'
The district has also received 8
telegram from Congressman Swing
in reply to Il letter from the district
asking him if he intends to make
any changes in the Swing-Johnsor
bill, in which he states that he is
now in conference with parties in
Washington and in California, re
garding possible changes in the bill
and expresses his willingness te
make any reasonable concessions tt
