DRY ICE WELL
SPUDDED IN AT
NORTH OF VALLEY

Dedication of the first carbon di-
oxide gas we'll being drilled just
south of Red hill, near Salton Sea,
by group of capitalists headed by
Carl M. Einhart, C. A. Winder and
A. F.. Holt, took place Saturday af-
ternoon.
Immediately following the christ
ening of the we'll by Mrs. Einhart,
actual drilling was commenced by
Superintendent Woods, who plans
to rush work on the hole. It's COM
pletion will be followed at once by
the drilling of three other wells in
the same locality.
A welcome to the community was
extended to Einhart and Mrs. Elm
hart by George Bennitt, director
of the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce, who, presented Mrs. Elm
hart with a bouquet of roses.
Rev. F. E. Dell, pastor, of Cali
patria, also welcomed the newcom-
ers, and offered short prayer for
the success of the undertaking and
its benefits to the community.
Mrs. Einhart then christened the
we'll, using a small block of dry ice
The carbon dioXide gas which this
and other neighboring wells are
expected to produce win be used in
the manufacture of dry ice. Elm
hart and his associates, who have
obtained leases on several thousand
acres of adjacent land which is be-
lieved to be underlain with a huge
gas deposit, will erect great man
ufacturing plant, costing several
hundred thousand dollars, for the
manufacture of dry ice from the
gas. A moment after the dedica-
tory ceremonies the machinery
started, and the bit, guided by Sup
erintendent Woods, commenced to
bore its way into the earth.

COUNTY OFFICERS
AGREE TO TAKE
SALARY SLASH

A final decision that all Imper-
ial county officers whose salaries
are fixed by law will take volun-
tary reduction on sliding scale
was reached today at a meeting of
elective and appointive officers,
held in the supervisors room at
the court house.
1t was provided that the reduc-
tion will not affect any office un-
less all county employees sign an
agreement to abide by the scale
fixed, paying a percentage of their
salary each month back into the
salary fund
The only remaining step is the
signing of county employees. Al
though many officers already have
Signified unanimous approval of
the economy move, others have not
yet signed the agreement. Copies
will be given the department heads
for circulation among the employees.
BY the scale adopted, those re-
ceiving 500 a month will pay 81
into the salary fund. For salaries
of $3.50 the amount will be So, for
SITS it will be $4, for the 5000 it
will be SITS, for 1925 it will be
$l2.25, for $3.50 it will be $l7.25, for
$500 a month it will be $2750, and
for all salaries over $500 a month
20 per cent will be turned back in
to the salary fund.
Since the money refunded is to
be placed only in the salary fund,
no other use can be made of it but
the paying of salaries. This is a
safety measure on the part of
county officers, assuring them at
least some measure of remunera-
ton in case the salary fund be-
comes so depleted that county SAL
aries cannot be paid.

One Killed And Several
Injured In Springfield

OFFICER Is VICTIM
Bitter Clash Waged Be-
tween Two Groups Of
Strikers.
BY DON E. CHAMBERLIN
United Press Staff Correspondent

SPRINGFIELD, H., Sept. 26.-
Violence in the Illinois coal war
swept into this shrine of Abraham
Lincoln and today left toll of
one dead and 20 injured after a
battle in the heart of the city be-
tween miners factions.
Detective Sergeant Porter Will
liams, As, was slain as LOO miners
fought out their differences with
revolvers, knives and clubs.
Half a hundred police carrying
riot guns and tossing tear gas
bombs finally quelled the riot after
half an hours turbulence in front
of the Leland hotel, a favored hos
telry of Illinois legislators.
Streets were patrolled to prevent
renewal of fighting today.
Police arrested "a members OF the
United Mine Workers of America
and lodged them in Jail on charges
of melting a riot. Garnett Smith,
president of Herrin, ILL.,, local un-
ion, was charged with Staying Will
| liams He was in critical condition
in the hospital. Physicians feared
he would not recover from stab
wounds and severe beating.
The outbreak, most serious in
this district of the bitter controv-
ersy over the Illinois coal mines
wage scale, started suddenly.
A group of about 100 United
Mine workers had met in hall to
plan reopening of several Sanga-
mon county mines on the SIS daily
scale approved by this union. Out
side gathered 1000 members of the
Progressive Miners union which
seeks a $610 daily scale.
! This is the newly formed organ
ization whose picketing activities
have prevented operation of mines
on the SIS scale in many central
Illinois districts.
Mob Hurls Taunts
Jeers and catcalls greeted the
100 men when they emerged from
the meeting. While the crowd of
1000 hurled taunts, the smaller
group marched up the street toward
the Leland hotel, headquarters of
John L. Lewis, international pres
ident of the union.
AS the throng of men, hurting
insults at each other, neared the
hotel, the picketing miners execut-
ed flank movement and encircled
the smaller group. The United
Miners tried to break through the
circle. They were repulsed. Sud-
denly shot rang out.
Instantly the scene was turned
into a riot. Knives flashed. More
shots were fired. The picket group
tore boards from fence and be-
labored their opponents.
Williams fell with the first shot.
He died in a hospital half an hour
later. Smith, police said, admitted
firing the bullet, but said his re-
volver went off accidentally as he
pulled it from his pocket.
Riot calls brought police to the
scene. They found score of men
bleeding on the ground. The Unit
ed union men, vastly outnumbered,
were defending themselves dearly
Several, police said, had revolvers
in their hands. Smith had been
seized with shouts of Lynch him.
Lynch him." Police rescued him
from a group that was pummeling
him on the street.
Thirty state police reinforced the
local officers. Failing to halt the
struggle by other means, gas bombs
were released and the fighting
finally was quelled.

POONA, India, Sept. 26.-- U.P)
The Mahatma M. K. Gandhi aban-

frail, brown body he had staked
against the British settlement of
India's communal voting problem.

Acceptance of an agreement
reached between caste Hindus and
"untouchables' enabled Gandhi to
end his hunger strike.
Doctors attending the Mahatma
at Yerovda prison, where he lay
on a cot in the shade of a mango
tree in the Jail yard, told Indian
government officials that Gandhi's
vitality was at its lowest ebb since
he ate his last meal at noon last
Tuesday.
Today was Gandhis weekly day

head with olive oil to restore con-

Gandhi ended his fast at p. M
After prayer, he slipped orange
juice, his first nourishment after
more than six days of water and
soda.
A large crowd waited all day
outside the prison for the an
nouncement that the fast had end

the attitude of the British govern
ment had been communicated to
him in long cablegram.
The Mahatma lost approximate
ly a pound a day during his fast.
He was quite weak. His wife, his
son, and his secretary lowered
about him as the glass of orange
juice was raised to his lips.

of bladder ailment in the naval
hospital here.

plane, special navy orders sent the
West Virginia racing under forced
draught to put him under the care
of specialists familiar with his case.
A gallant fight for life followed,
and blood transfusions brought ap-
parently renewed strength, but
last night he suffered another re-
lapse which proved fatal.
Mrs. Pringle and their daughter,
wife of Lieut.. Col. j. D. Kane, were
allowed to make the trip with the
admiral.
Admiral Pringle was to have re-
lieved Rear Admiral William Pratt
as Commander in Chief of the ma
Wy ON the latter's retirement, Feb.
%. AS chief of naval operations he
would have received the highest
honor possible for a United States
naval officer.
Admiral Pringle was one Of the
most popular flag officers of the
fleet and had had a distinguished
career. He commanded the first
squadron of American destroyers
to cross the Atlantic after the Uni
ted States declared war on Ger
many, and his work against sub
marines brought him award of the
distinguished service medal.
He later became president of the
navy war college, returning to duty
with the fleet in Pacific waters in
1880.

FOUR KILLED AS
PLANES COLLIDE
AT Los ANGELES

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 26. U.P)-
Two airplanes which collided in
mid-air near the Los Angeles East
side airport yesterday carried three
men and a woman to their deaths.
The two planes were gliding to
landing at an altitude of about
300 feet when one suddenly
swerved toward the other. They
locked wings for a moment, then
tore apart. One dropped like a
plummet, killing James Edward
Hall, 35, transport pilot, and Rollo
Gordon Cadian, 25, student pilot.
The other fluttered to earth and
crashed near a house IN Montebel-
10, killing James L. Wismer, 80, a
street railway bus driver, and his
wife, Irma, 20.
Airport officials said the two
pilots apparently failed to see each
other, and that shortly after Wis
mer shut off his motor to glide to
landing the other plane shot
swiftly into view.
The force of the collision ripped
the wings from Wismer's plane and
witnesses said only skilful maneuv-
ering on his part saved the lives
of residents in the house near
which the plane fell.
Both planes had been rented
from the airport.
In another. airplane accident,
two japanese aviators were injured,
one perhaps fatally Kaoru Tajima
suffered internal injuries and Hen
ry S. Dye, pilot, was less seriously
injured when, according to Dye,
the motor stalled on an upward
swoop to avoid high tension wires
and the plane fell.

DISTRICT OFFICIALS TO HOLD
CONFERENCE ON CANAL PACT

time and proposed changes are ex-
pected to be submitted to the gov
ernment with a minimum of de-
lay, officials said
While it is planned to go for
ward with preliminaries, and, If
necessary, actual construction of
the All-American canal without
inclusion of Coachella, an open
door policy will permit the neigh
boring district to be included in
th development under the terms OF
the finally adopted contract.

Coffey, with whom the present
conferences are scheduled to be
held, is said to be >amiliar with
every phase of the canal project
and to be deeply interested in
bringing about development as
soon as possible.
Coachella officials recently an
nounced that it had not been pos
sible to obtain the necessary num-
ber of signatures to petitions call
ing for inclusion in Imperial dis
trict. The officials advanced the
belief that numbers of residents
withheld signatures on account of
a hope that a separate contract
with the government could be ar
ranged. The Dixon letter is de-
clared to have settled the question
in the minds of residents of that
section.
Recent conference between I'm
perial and Coachella directors and
officials revealed that Coachella
would be willing for imperial dis
trict to proceed with the govern
ment on an "open door, policy per-
mitting Coachella's entrance when

Monarchist Leader Says

GILCHING, Bavaria, Sept. &c.
There is no force on earth that
can prevent Germany from becom-
ing a great military power" Gen.
eral Hans Won Seeckt, friend of the
Hohenzollerns and most famous of
Germany's living military strate-
gistS, told the United Press in an
exclusive interview here.
And, he added, "the world must
be prepared to see Germany help
herself as far as necessary" He
referred to Germany's move to ex-
pand her armed forces as nearly
as possible to the equal of her
armed forces before the great war.
Won Seeckt is one of the "old
order" in Germany, the father of
her post war army. For six years
ne was commander of the German
army, to resign only after Repub-
hcans in 1926 complained that he
had permitted Prince Wilhelm,
son of the former crown prince, to
participate in the reichswehr man.
euVerS.
1t was Won Seeckt who caused a
dramatic scene as a member of the
German delegation to the London
conference in 1921. He marched
into st. James palace in full uni
form, with sidearmS, showing by
no outward sign that he represent
ed a conquered nation. Marshal
Foch of the allied command at
that time ordered Won Seeckt to
remove his sword or leave the
room.
Waited Long Entugh
If the. other powers refuse Ger
many the military independence to
which her need of security entities
her, and of which no treaty can
rob her, I see no way out other
than Germany expand her armed
forces" the general said
Germany has waited long
enough for others to keep their
promise to reduce armaments.
They have refused to do SO, and
the chances that they will keep
the promise are slim.
consequently the world must be
prepared to see Germany help her.
self as far as necessary.
In the long run, believe there
is no force on earth that can pre-
vent Germany from again becom-
ing great military power. The
speed of Germany's rearmament is
a question of hard cash.
IF we were not hampered by fin
ancial worries, we would require
only a few years to reestablish our
military strength. AS it is, the
countrys financial and economic
condition will retard that develop
ment."
Let me emphasize that Germany
did not start by demanding equal
right to arm. If Germanys neigh
bors had consented to disarm to
Germany's level, our feeling of in
security would have vanished.
However, if the superior arm
ament of Germany's neighbors
continues to menace us, we must
insist on security by the strength
