to the capital in behalf of tho dis

avoid spending at least 5000 of his
own funds, and in most instances
his loss went above that amount.
Tho speakers emphasized the neca

luncheons and hotel assemblies play
in obtaining favorable hearings on

emphatically answered in the affir-
native, stating tha. all those Wh4
visit Washington in the interest of
legislation, recognize the necessity
of this particular phase of the
work.
The discussion arose when Mr..

"The High Cost of Living at
Washington formed the main to-
pic of discussion at the meeting of
the directors of the Imperial lrri-
gaticn District yesterday afternoon.
while the directors and small
group of interested taxpayers tried
to decide the proper amount of
compensation for members of the
delegation which will go 20 Wash.
ington in behalf of the Swing john
son bill.
LAST year the members of the
delegation were allowed $40 per day
compensation and like amount for
exp 'nscs. Testimony by Director
Mark Rose, Elmer Head and others
was to the effect that $40 n day in
Washington goes about as far as $5
here. Director Rose .likened tho
national capital to Mexicali, saying
no matter how much money the
average man goes there with, tho
inhabitants~f the city make certain
that when he is ready to leave, he
has little of it loft.

MEL0LAND MAN
Mexican Dies as Result.
Recent Attack by
Unknown Man

A veil of mystery surrounds til
tragedy 1t Meloland Saturday nigh
! which resulted in the death of Lao
! poldo Rios at the FL Centre hos
pital yesterday afternoon, and due
! TO the unwillingmess of he Mexi
cans who werr present at the time
to discuss the matter in anv way
| officials who have investigating
the case have been greatly hamp
cred in their work.
When rotifi VI of the trouble
Sq'urday night, District Attorney
Utley, accompanied by Richard
Cohen. court interpreter, went t.
the Rios home at Waterman s cor
ner, two miles south of Meloland
whore they found the man suffering
from wound which he stated had
been inflicted by an unidentified
Mexican, who stabbed him with a
knife.
Rios told Cohen a story of four
men who came to his tent, ask ing
for information about another Mex
lean. One of the quartette drew Il
knife while Rios was answering
their questions, and without any
provocation, stabbed him through
the stomach, he declared.
Undersheriff Bert Underwood,
who was assigned to the ease, has
since talked with several Mexicans
who were attracted to the scene by
Rios cries and was told that in
stead of being stabbed, Rios was
She. by a Mexican, who came. to
the former s tent alone, and called
him TO the door When he went
out 20 she what was wanted, the
unidentified Mexican shot RIOS.
Another Mexican, named Rego CT
valos, who was in Rios tent, heard
the shot and wenG outside. The
assassin fired at him, the BUILT
striking him in the leg, inflicting
a ght flesh wound. These latter
facts were ascertained by the un-
dersheriff this morning.
4 woman, who was in the tent
~ the time of the shooting, gave
her name to the undersheriff as
Guanu Cervantes, &n- claimed that
che is the wife of Rios. The latter
also told Cohen at the hospital Sun
day that the woman was his wife.
The undershcriff stated this morn
ing that it is impossible to get the
woman or any of the M(t1ieans near
by to give any assistance in aScer-
tanning who fired the shot that
killed Rios. and in his opinion they
are afraid to talk for fear that
the. shooter will return and Kill
them.
