BOARD ASKS
CANAL WORK
Be HURRIED

In resolution adopted by the ir-
rigation district board of directors,
Tuesday. it was determined to in
struct Phil d. Swing, now in Wash
ington, d. c., that he urge the
government to start the construc-
ton of the All-American canal west
of the sand hills at the earliest
possible time, in order that as many
as possible of the unemployed of
Imperial Valley be given employ
ment."
This was in answer to tele-
gram from Swing in which he stated
he had received the resolution
passed by the board of supervisors
recently recommending that this
work be done py the reclamation
service under force account. Swing
had asked the directors if they
wished to instruct him in this mat
ter.
The resolution states that due tc
the acute water shortage 1t appears
that there will be little agricultural
activity in the valley during the
next several months and that a
great many more persons will be
unemployed than are at present
without work. 1t is the belief OF
the board that many of these per-
sons could be employed in the con-
struction of the All-American canal
west of the sand hills.
An attempt was made to contact
Swing by telephone at $50 o'clock
last night in this matter but was
unsuccessful. Further attempts were
to be made today. failing which the
instructions were TO be sent by tele-
graph.
The board adopted another reso-
luton expressing condolences tc
Ray M. Priest in the death of her
husband, Raymond M. Priest, in
Phoenix on July 6. Priest was The
engineer in charge of the Ali-Amer-
lean canal construction work.

CONNOR
WILL RECOVER

HARTSDALE, N. Y, July 18. U.P)
Bobby Connor, who was born pre-
maturely and for two months strug-
gled for life in an incubator, today
was winning another desperate bat
tie for existence. The 2i-months- old
boy was believed to have spent five
days without food or water while
lost in a dense woods near his
Hartsdale Manor home.
Physicians at Brasslands hospi-
tai. where Bobby was taken after
being discovered three-quarters Of
a mile from his home yesterday,
were astonished by the curly head
ed baby's recuperative power. A
diet of a teaspoonful of whisky ev-
cry four hours and other liquid as
rapidly as he could consume it was
returning his dehydrated, emaciated
little body to normal.
Nurses and expert medical doc
tors attended him. His body was
torn by scores Of bramble scratches,
insect bites and bruises suffered as
he craWled through brlarS anC
brush. They said insect bites, par
italy infected, were responding to
treatment and that Bobby now had
better than an even chance to live.
Although federal agents, state po-
lice and local authorities whose
search for Bobby was the greatest
in the east since the Lindbergh
kidnapping, had definitely kidnap-
ing theory, there was considerable
discussion among residents here
and other unofficial sources.
Many persons secuted physicians
conclusive statement Bobby sub
sided on grass and vegetation which
he instinctively put 10 his mouth
They doubted the boy would no
have been found by scores OF
had he been in the woods
the entire time, and said it would
have been impossible for him, un-
able to walk more than Is steps at
a time, to have crawled from his
home to where he was found.

Local 2O-3O Club
Forms Ball Game

In preparation for their tusslc
with the Elks Friday night, the Ell
Centro 2O-3O nightball club will
meet the Eastside team on the lat
ter's diamond tonight.
This will be the first appearance
Of the 20-3O team on the diamond
since their recent organization, and
no doubt the field will be CON-
pletely surrounded with scouts
from other local organizations tc
watch the youngsters.
Special interest is added to Fri
days game because of the fact that
the losers of this game are to fur
nish the liquid refreshments fol
The winners. Thoughts of the pos
sible capacities of tired and thirsty
athletes will act as spur to both
teams to win at any cost,accord-
ing to opinions expressed by one
who knows. For that reason, II
for no other, he said, 1t should be
a good game.

and affection for Mr.. McAdoo'
and 'warmest friendship and ad-
miration for Mrs. McAdoo."
According to Mrs. McAdoos
complaint, the couple was separ-
ated Dec %, last.
Mrs. McAdoo said in her state
ment "incompatibilities that have
arisen out of Our divergent tastes
and interests drove me reluctantly
to the conclusion a legal separa-
ton was the only solution"
The senator said, in part, Mrs.
McAdoo has stated correctly the
reasons for the separation. I have
nothing to add except to say that
I deeply regret it and devoutly
wish it could have been averted."
Mrs. McAdoo told Judge Allen
B. Campbell, who granted the de-
cree, that "the senator has taken
many trips from California to
Washington. D. c., and other places
in the east without taking me with
him. During the last two years he
has lived in Washington where the
climate does not agree with me-"
Mrs. McAdoo said she was in
terested in painting and sculpture
while Senator McAdoo docs not
share these interests but devotes
his entire time to public affairs. y

nor Randolph Wilson, daughter of
the late president, were married
May 7, 1914, in the most brilliant
ceremony official Washington had
seen since the Alice Roosevelt
Nichalas Longworth nupitals.
Mrs. McAdoo was fresh from the
cloistered streets of scholastic
Princeton, N. j.. where her father
had headed Princeton University;
her husband began his career in
the backwoods country of Marietta,
Ga.
The couple met in Washington
official circles when McAdoo be-
came director-general of railroads
during the war time crisis.
McAdoo was Widower of two
years when he married the Presi-
dents daughter. His first wife was
the former Sarah Fleming of Chat
tanooga, Tenn, whom he married
in 1885.
McAdoo resigned both positions
in 1919, reopened law offices in
Los Angeles.
He reentered politics in 1892
when he was elected United States
Senator from California in the
Democratic landslide. He was a
Roosevelt leader in the far west.

quarters relative to weather con-
ditions in the upper Colorado bas-

of the river at Grand Canyon was
recorded but outside of that statis-
tics relative to either water flow
or rainfall are lacking.
The district is writing to the
Yuma water users today asking
that they curtail the use of water
for irrigation purposes in order
that the valley might get more
of the rivers flow for stock uses
here. At a recent meeting between
the local board and the Yuma
group the latter agreed to cease
using water for irrigation when
it became apparent that this dis
trict was suffering lack OF suf-
ficient water for stock purposes.
Fifty thousand gallons of water
were brought into the county this
morning in four tank cars and allo-
Gated to Brawley Imperial, Melo-
land and Holtville, according to DR..
N. E. Dupont who is in charge OF

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. -
The future course of San Fran
cisco's industrial war rested again
today with the maritime unions
whose walkout of May eliminated
in the present paralyzing general
strike.
The council of delegates from
all San Francisco unions which
called the general strike recon-
mended immediate arbitration of
the marine strike and an end of
hostilities.
The hope for peace emerged
during turbulent suppression of
reported Communists accused of
fomenting trouble.
Acceptance of the proposal by
maritime unions is necessary. The
strong left wing element in these
unions violently opposed accept
ance until the unions pass form
ally upon the proposal the gen.
eral strike goes on.
There were many predictions
that if the marine union reject,
they may be cut adrift by the

Florence M. McAuliffc, chairman
of the committee of five hundred
formed by Mayor Angelo Rossi,
called "the committee in support
of constitutional authority" an
nounced his organization would
proceed without reference to the
possibility of arbitration.
Our purpose" he said, "is to see
that every citizen is free to pursue
his accustomed work without fear
of violence or intimidation"
Numerous arrests were made dur
ing the night on both sides of San
Francisco bay.
-Four men were arrested in Berk-
eley for throsote bombs on the roof
of market.
First reactions of employers and
others concerned, to the strike COM
mittee' arbitration proposals made
last night, were not enthusiastic.
Thomas G. Plant, president OF
the waterfront employers associa-
ton, believed ship operators as a
whole would refuse to arbitrate un-
til elections are held determining
who are the bonafide spokesmen
of their sea-faring employees.
A. E. Boynton, managing director
of the Industrial association, MAIN
tained the strike should be ended
first and arbitration discussed af-
terwards.
The Presidents mediation board,
attempting to settle the maritime
strike, vas scheduled to meet this
morning to consider the arbitra-
ton proposal and hasten action
upon it.
The arbitration proposal was
framed by conservative leaders and
adopted at stormy meeting Of
the general strike convention, COM
posed from all unions, last evening.
