the massacre, within five days.
All culprits are to be executed.

killed by Greeks. It is possible the
assassins were Albanians, as first
reports stated. But Mussolini has
declined to await the outcome of an
csligation on the ground that,
irrespective of the nativity of the
murderers, Greece is responsible
for not having provided adequate
protection for the Italians.
Italians consider the Greeks as
their rivals for control of the Ad-
riatic sea. 1t has long been sus-
pected in Rome that the Greeks
seek secret alliance with the Al
banians against the Italians for
mastery of the Adriatic. Mussol-
ini s quick action in the present
crisis, therefore, ensures him the
enthusiastic support of his fellow
countrymen and permits him. to be
regarded once more as Italy's saw
ior.
The present is an entirely pro-
pitious time for Italy to make n
militant gesture at Greece. The
other great European powers are so
concerned with affairs in the Ruhr
that Italy is likely to have 4 free
hand. This means that in event of
war breaking out it could be con
trolled and not grow into a world
conflagration.

WASHINGTON. August 3d.
With Hiram johnson away from
Washington at this time and on his
way to the Pacific Coast most of
his most determined and influential
supporters, the gossip here is let
loose again On the possibilities of
Johnson 5 presidential prospects and
intentions.
AS for the prospects, it is believ
cd generally that the Johnson
strength within the party is rivaled
only by the potential strength of q
presidentiallv successful Calvin
Coolidge AS for his intentions, the
writer. after repeated conversations
with Johnson, believes that his state
of mind is approximately as fol-
lows:
Johnson does not believe the
present is an appropriate time for
declaring his candidacy. He, more
over, has no candidacy to declare.
He realizes that President Coolidge,
in international and domestic af-
fairs, such as the anthracite strike
and the conditions of the wheat
farmer, has his record still before
him, to make and then to stand
on.
No Declaration Now
johnson thinks he has made his
own views of international affairs
perfectly clear. He thinks if there
should be q conflict between his
views and President Coolidge s, this
conflict will declare itself.
Johnson is giving himself now to
a legislative study of domestic af
fairs in matters particularly of
labor, agriculture and transporta
tion. He thinks that if, in such
matters, there should be q diver
gence between President Coolidge
and himself. this divergence again
will be a thing to make its own
declaration. He has no notion OF
announcing divergence or a con-
flict without knowing that it is 60
ing to exist. He does not believe
he or ANYBODY else is going to get
floated into the White House in
1924 on personalities, irrespective
of issues. He is going to walk down
a certain path of policies. He may
find presidential fight in it. He
shows no symptoms, this writer is

SOIL. FERTILITY
COMMITTEE TO
RESUME WORK
Members Pleased at Good
Accomplished; Plan
Active Winter

Clark Adair, of Seeley, apostle of
"melotus indica' who, with
George Wright of Holtville and
John W. Scott Of FL Centre, head
ed campaign of education last
winter throughout Imperial valley
as a soil fertility committee ap-
pointed by the associated chambers
of commerce, is now looking over
the results of the committee s eff
forts.
Through their work in Keeping
up interest among the farmers Of
Imperial valley it is believed that
greater development has been
brought about and a brighter fu-
ture insured. Much Of the present
optimistic feeling among tillers of
the soil is believed TO have origi-
mated i'll this campaign, Adair said
today.
"We are seeing wonderful pro-
gress among the farmers and good
results continued Adair. Many
of them have worked out q more
settled and determined effort to-
ward success for all interests of the
valley.
"The associated chambers will
resume their monthly meetings at
Holtyille Friday, September %, and
the soil fertility committee will be
on hand with Il full outline for u
campaign more vigorous than that
Of last year. The agricultural
eyes of the nation are centered
upon Imperial valley and largely by
our efforts and accomplishments
will we be judged when the I'M
portant legislation for the Boulder
dam and all American canal in
Washington is taken up
At the associated chambers meet
ing referred TO a new secretary also
will be named. SO far no names
have been suggested but the eXecu-
tive committee probably will hold
an advance meeting and determine
upon man TO recommend to the
organization.

Each year with the opening Of
the shooting season the power com
panv is confronted by the line
trouble caused by the shooting up
of insulators. In most eases this
is done by men or boys who have
no conception of the results which
follow.
General Superintendent George
NJ. Wills Of the Southern Sierras
Power company is authority for the
statement that one such interrupt
ton on the high line or power line
may affect a territory hundreds Of
miles in area and cause serious
losses both to the power company
and those dependent on its service.
".On the 1900 volt distribution
system,' said Wills, "the breaking
or cracking of an insulator by Il
bullet causes a short circuit blow

and shutting down all motors oper-

scattered over a % mile area. The
loss of days pumping in the
midst of the irrigating season may
follow.
''Some Of these pumping plants
are so located that half day is re-

may require another half day to To-

sboound to say, of dreading to find
it. On the other hand he shows
no symptoms of trying to anticipate
it Or force it. His idea is that he
will find what he will find.
He sees a great difference be-
tween his situation in 1920 and his
situation now. This difference is
seen also by nearly all Washing
ton. In 1920 the johnson strength
consisted of oratory by johnson
and applause by audiences. Now
it consists additionally of the quiet
support of numerous professional
political elements, which can pro-
dure delegates without audiences or
Oratory.
See True Prophet
These elements have been attract
er to johnson by his recent Greg
ularity' on domestic party qucs-
tions in the senate, but still more
by the crushing triumph, in fact,
of his "irreeoncilable principles
in the actual foreign policy of the
United States.
The consequence is that they now
regard johnson as winner. They
notice that the ;ctivities of John
son in these matters and the activi-
ties of the Republican nationat-com-
mittee have been virtually identical
in spirit. They think they see that
the senior senator from California
has been the true prophet and in
terpreter of the final senticents OF
the Republican party.
Certain numerous elements stand
perfectly ready now in certain
circumstances to get delegates fer
Johnson in 1924 by their own ma
chine methods, in addition to the
delegates he can get for himself by
drinking ice water and breathing
fire ON the stump.
The final question then is: "What
ere those circumstances?
The dull and true answer is that
no one at this moment precisely can
define them. because none can
know what new amendment Calvin
Coolidge will inject into them. All
that can be safely said is that
Coolidge will have to be very sue
cessful in doing nothing in foreign
affairs and very successful in do
ing q great deal in domestic af-
fairs in order to head off John
son.

Arizona S0lon
Expects Action
On River Treaty

Congressman Carl F. Hayden, ac
companied by Mrs. Hayden, passed
through FL Centre today en-
route TO their home in Phoenix, af-
ter passing 4 few weeks on the
coast.
Congressman Hayden occupies a
conspicuous position in congress for
various reasons. To begin with he
is the only congressman from Ari-
zona and was elected to the place
when the territory WAS given state
hood. As there are two senators
from Arizona the congressman is
therefore even more important in
the way of political power than the
senators.
OF particular interest to Califor-
mans has been the congressman S
attitude on the ratification of the
Colorado river treaty.
He has strongly favored it from
the beginning. While here ne stat
ed that, although he has no inside
information, he is of the opinion
that Governor Hunt will call
special session of the legislature for
October or November and submit
the pact again. He based the opin-
ion, he said, solely upon the fact
that the governor has called special
elections to fill a vacancy in the
state senate and one in the house,
and there would be no necessity for
such action unless a special session
is contemplated. The congressman
also called attention to the fact that
the American Legion in his state
has been particularly active in urg-
ing a special session and ratifica
tion and that this may have some
bearing on the subject.

Submits Final Plan
Pinchot 5 proposal given out last
night, was:
A ten per cent wage increase for
them.
A "half way check off" permit
ting the union to collect dues from
the men at the mines on PAYDAY,
but also providing that the oper-
ators shall fully recognize the union.
Recognition Of the eight hour day.
The governor also added another
point, that of recognition of the
right of collective bargaining. lie
suggested that if the MINERS and
operators separately were not able
to accept his proposal they should
90 into joint session with an i'm
partial, 'non-voting chairman, who
could advise them. And if they
still could not reach agreement he
suggested that the matter be left
to the miners and operators board
of conciliation.
Strike Time Near
But, inaSmueh as only twelve
hours will remain until strike time,
when the answers of both sides are
given to him tomorrow noon, it
likely strike would en-
sure if either party rejects the basic
offer. 1t seemed unlikely to OBJ
servers that any step could be
taken to avoid & breach il either
party objects.
The lone hope upon which Pin
ehot then may rely to avoid sus-
pension of mining is the plan
whereby Pinchot may seize the
mines, and with the help of the
produce coal.
An agreement was concluded be-
tween mine union leaders and the
operators representatives, today,
placing maintenance men on the
eight hour day basis. thus assuring
protection for the mines in the
event strike takes place Septem

An earker offer of the operators
was rejected by the miners. The
agreement was announced By the
after the operators had left
