state of California and various state
departments to the suit of the Great

of California, and other contrac-
tors. the state asked that the su-
perior court here return judgment
finding that the department OF
public works owes deWaard and son
not more than S4400.32.
The undergrade crossing suit is
rapidly becoming famous in Impe-
rial county legal circles for the
number Of legal documents filed,
and the twisted complications that
have resulted from the complaint
flied by the indemnity company in
an effort to force the state to pay

$4,000 alleged due them on a con-
tract for construction of the Coyote
Wells undergrade crossing.

Americans who have made a prac-
tice OF entering Lower California
after dark by using the hole in the

entrance blocked last night by Mex
lean immigration authorities.
Even the regular port OF entry
which usually is open until mid

hour entrance into the United
States is halted by American guards.
Previously, those who passed immi-
grafton inspection on the Tijuana
side, were permitted 10 enter Lower
California freely.
Americans stranded in Tijuana
after p. m. often had found the
'hole in the fence" their only re-
course to q return to California, but
it is too closely guarded now.
A number of persons who attempt
ed to enter Tijuana late last night,
by climbing the barbed-wire fence
were arrested and held over night.
No reason was assigned lor the
