Savage Attack by Footpad

Gene Wollinsky while on his way
down town about six o'clock Thurs
day morning was assaulted by high
waymen at the intersection of Locust
and North Fourth streets. The man
sneaked up from behind and struck
him a savage blow over the head with
"a bottle filled with ammonia. The
LIQUID streamed down his face and in
to his eyes and for a time blinded
him, and while in this condition his
assailant robbed him of a pocketbook
containing $173. He then escaped.
Mr. Wollinsky was taken to his rooms
on South Second street, where prompt
treatment prevented serious and per-
manent injury to his eyes.

MEXICAN
CRISIS IS
EXPECTED
New Oil Law Becomes
Effective First of New
Year.
EXCHANGE NOTES
Gales Firm in Stand
to Enforce Ruling On
Property.

MEXICO CITY, Dee. 80. - The
jor ponit at issue between the
governments of the United States
and Mexico seemed to be approach
ing a showdown today with only
one full day left before the new
Mexican oil law was scheduled to
become effective at midnight tomor-
row.
American owned oil properties in
Mexico have been estimated to be
worth $3.50, 100000 and they are in
volved in the triangular dispute in
which foreign owned companies
here and the governments Of some
of the owners have objected to the
oil law enacted by the Gales re-
gime, alleging it to be confiscatory.
The United States government has
taken the lead in obiecting and
there has passed between Washing
ton and Mexico City a series of notes
none of which served to dissolve
the principal points of friction.
With Friday midnight only As
hours away, the government last
night made public an exchange Of
messages between group of oil
companies with headquarters in
New York and President Gales in
which the former requested and the
latter uncompromisingly refused
postponemcnt Of the date upon
which the law would become effcc-
tive. simultaneously, it became
known that Gales had summoned
his cabinet to meet today, presum-
ably to discuss the oil law situation
since the regular cabinet day at
the palace is Friday.
So far II oil companies, repre-
senting 20 per cent of Mexican oil
production have not applied to the
government, as the law required. for
confirmation of their titles or lease
hold rights.
Many persons here today believed
that the showdown scheduled for
midnight Friday would not mater
ialize, although it was generally
agreed that both parties to the
controversy would maintain their re
spcctive attitudes, thereby event
ually forcing a joining of the is
sue between the United States
state department and Mexico.

HOPE TO REACH
AGREEMENT ON
POWER QUESTION
Tentative Basis Agreed
To On Water ALLEGATION
BY Tri-State Meeting.
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 3O.-Argu-
mcnts on Arizona S demands for
royalties on Boulder Dam power
were sounded at the tristatc Colo
Iado river conference here today.
following Il tentative agreement on
ALLEGATION of the water rights.
California s commissioners offer
ed II per horsepower tax to Ari-
zona for power developed at Boul-
der dam. Arizona s representatives
demanded $6 per horsepower.
In arriving at a provisional agree
mcnt on power, representatives of
each of the states, Arizona, Nevada
and California, made certain CON
ccsSions. Details Of the agreement
were withheld by the commission
ers because one member of the Ari-
Zona commission was not fully in
accord with his colleagues on the
proposal.
Charles p. Squircs. Nevada, chair
man Of the conference, said the par
tial agreement was reached after
conccding to all the states the wat
crs Of their tributary streams.
1.-The water agreement was ar
rived at through mutual concessions
by Nevada, Arizona and Californ-
ia, he SAID. 81 1t is felt by most
of the members of the three com
missions that the agreement on
water is fair and will meet fully
tn" needs of all three states for
their present and future use. includ-
,ng supply for the coastal plain

Senator Ralph T.. Swing. chair
man of the California commission,
said:
While California is not getting
all she has demanded the general
welfare of the entire southwest de
mands action and we have been per
suadcd hy this fact in tentatively
consenting to the proposition sug
9estcd by the Nevada commission.
We shall negotiate further on
power and it is my sincere hope a
final adjustment may be made for
submission to the coming lcgsla--

ROSE MAKES URGENT APPEAL
FOR LETTERS TO AID BILL

Urgent appeal for writing
to congressman. senators and any
persons of influence who may be
able to help the Swing Johnson bill
is made bv the American Conserva
tion club in response to telegram
from Mark Rose, who is in Washing
ton fighting for the bill.
The appeal holds challenge for
every citizen of Imperial Valley, to
get busy with pen and ink and write
to their friends in other parts Of the
country, urging them to inform their
particular representatives in cong
ress of Imperial Valleys need.
Following is the text of the telc-
gram:
"Send me as many letters of in
PRODUCTION to congressman and sena-
tors as is possible to obtain at
once. 1t will be necessary during
short session to make intensive cam
paign as possible for bill as this is
our last chance. If bill should
fail in either house or senate it
would be utterly impossible to re,
vive it next session. 1t is going
to be necessary to have quite dele
cation here during January, possibly
part of February or until bill gets
on both floors. I feel sure bill will
pass if proper amount of work is
done between now and time it
reaches floor
In other words the Conservation
club remarks, it is up to our Wash
ington delegations and up to us to
see that the proper amount of work
is put forth at once. Congressman
Swing, whose magnificent fight for
the measure has landed it within a
stones throw Of enactment, is ask
ing every few days that moro let
ters go out from Imperial Valley
people. That is tho least we can do
to get in on the job as helpers.
And now Rose wires that he must
have letters of introduction from
people who may personally know
Imperial Valley press., 1926-12-30

senators and congressman from other
states. There must be in this val
ley q large number of people who
are personally acquainted with some
congressman or senator from some
other state and could furnish Rose
with a letter of introduction to that
senator or congressman so that ne
will be able to urge the support of
the Swing johnson bill.
Two Things Necessary
There are. then. two thing to be
done Immediately by every one of us
who want this legislation to become
fact. First we must write to our
folks back east urging them to get
after their own congressman, and
second, those of us who are ac.
quainted with any congressman, or
other public officials in Washington
other than those from California,
must write a letter Of introduction
and mail it to Rose, care of Cong
ressman Phil ID. Swing, house office
building, Washington, D. C.
Remember this is our last chance
to get this legislation passed. If
the Swing johnson bill fails to get
through either congressional house
by March 4, 1927. 60 DAYS from now
it will die a natural death and n
new congress will be in power and
it will be necessary for the matter
to be gone over again from the be-
ginning.
Let us not through negligence of
our own endanger our bill. We have
a tremendous advantage in having
the bill reported out of committee
in both senate and house with al
most no opposition. If the bill fails
to be passed, or oven brought up for
a vote this wintor, it will be because
congressman from the middle west
and eastern states have not been
made to see the vital importance of
prompt action. We can help them
to see that need. Will we shoulder
our full responsibility
