WORK NOT To

had hoped might be the case.
Costs of the work in the routing
of the canal were not considered
at this hearing, Hewes stated, but
the earthquake hazard was. This
was the main objection OF the con-
sultant board and engineers who
felt that the danger to the city OF
Calexico was too great in case OF
an earthquake should the canal be
routed underground through the
city because of the pressure IN
volved. 1t was the opinion of the
engineers and consultants that in
case of a severe earthquake not
only the city of CaleXico but also
neighboring farm lands would be
severely damaged by the breaking
of the canal were it to be routed
under the city and not to the
north, above ground.
Mead expressed himself as will
ing to make the canal an asset
to the city of CaleXico and not a
detriment by beautifying the canal
where it passes to the north OF
that city. Hewes said that the en-
gineers and consulting board were
unanimous in their decision on this
question and set this decision down
in writing.
Wednesday night of this week,
R. B. Williams, chief engineer for
the All-American canal, will meet
with a group of CaleXico citizens
in that city to discuss plans where
by the canal in the CaleXico sector
might be beautified.
The valley representatives met
with Secretary Ickes again on Fri
day morning regarding the canal
routing question hoping to obtain
a complete rehearing OF the matter
but IckeS upheld the findings OF
the engineers and consultantS and
no further action will now be taken
in the matter.
HeweS attended a meeting OF
the district bondholders COMMITTEES
in Los Angeles on Saturday morn
ing during which the secretary oi
the committee was instructed tc
draw up a letter and circulate il
| among the committee members
approving the action of the loca
district board in it's attempt to Sc.
cure further refinancing of the dis.
trict through RFC funds.
Hewes stated that he had rur
into warm weather all the way
across the country and was glad t
be back in the valley again aftel
his trip.

Publisher Says
His Hotel Room,
Was Rar1sacked

WASHINGTON, July 20. WR)--
Ransacking of his hotel room and
theft of evidence he had intended
to present to the senate lobby COM
mittee was reported today by Carl
Estes, Texas publisher.
Estes issued a statement declar-
ing:
L hope l do not have an inveSti-
cation of this committee to thank
for this surprise and unauthorized
shake-down.
Estes, whose name was brought
into the inquiry last week during
questioning of John w. Carpenter,
president of the Texas Power and
Light company, said he d
brought to Washington checks for
my expenses here in opposition to
the creation of a federal oil dicta-
torship, totaling $88213."
However" he continued, there
is another one which I had when
I came to Washington, I think in
the amount of approximately 5000,
which was stolen from my rooms
in the Mayflower hotel Saturday
afternoon, when my quarters were
ransacked from top to bottom
while I was on trip to Great
Falls"
Estes, Lonview, Texas, publisher,
said his name was unnecessarily
dragged into this investigation"

There was apparent all over

mark the turning point toward a
breakup of the league or its
emergence after Is years of life
into a real power for peace, were
involved.
All Nations Alarmed
Concern which al first was felt
only among the great powers has
spread throughout southeastern
Europe. The small nations there,
who will be in any great war. were
increasingly fearful that the Italian
Ethiopian dispute might destroy
the league as peace agency. To
them the league is not an instru-
ment of diplomatic exchange but
what it purported to be on its
formation league to enforce
peace, and to protect them against
nations more powerful.
They fear that if the League OF
Nations tries to sideStep the crisis
by ''legalizing" war in Ethiopia to
please Italy, the destruction will be

United Press dispatches from
Berlin report that German political
quarters believe any effort to solve
the Italian Ethiopian dispute will
be futile, and that the leagues dis
integration is imminent. Germany
feels, the dispatches said, that her

leagues dilemma. 1t has never

an oppressor, being the enforcing

So heavy do the steamship COM

ter the regular service in June.
According to last minute infor-

ROME, July 29.-Italians believ-
ed today that war with Ethiopia
was near. They saw in League OF
Nations efforts to solve the crisis
only a waste of words and in
creased confusion.
Stevedores were loading 10 steam
ships with war materials at var
| ious ports. Additional thousands
of soldiers were awaiting embark
alton.
War spirit was high, and the
country was ready for fight.
1t was said frankly that diplo-
matte negotiations with Great
Britain and France had achieved
exactly nothing after 10 days Of
spirited effort.
There was no approach at all
between Britain and Italy, and the
limits of British and Italian con-
cession remained far apart.
Ethiopias note Of yesterday to
the League of Nations, maintaining
its position, caused no surprise, for
no concession was expected. But
it was received as tending merely
to prolong diplomatic discussion
between Italy and Ethiopia and
serving merely to involve greater
Wordage and consequently addi-
tional complication.
Pope Plus for the first time i'm
piled his interest in peace
Yesterday. He referred to the dis
pute in addressing the congrega-
ton of missions from his throne in
the consistorial hall, in connection
with the Identification of Kiustino
de Jacobs, Italian missionary in
Ethiopia for many years till his
death July 81, 1860.
Dark clouds hover in the skies
between Italy and Ethiopia" said
the pontiff, and their significance
can not be overlooked"
ROME, July %. UP)-The for
eign office declared today it was
without knowledge Of reports print
ed by the London Times and New
York Times that 40 Italians had
been killed in a border clash with
Ethidpians in the northwestern
frontier region bordering Italian
Eritrea.
Officials were somewhat skeptl-
cal that news of such a clash
would reach Adds Ababa before
Italian authorities heard OF 1t.
According to the story as pub
lished abroad, dated Adds Ababa,
the Italian force, camped on the
Ethiopian side of the border, was
attacked at night by an Ethiopian
detachment. Forty Italians and
20 Ethiopians were killed, the story
said, and the Italians then retreat
ed by motor truck.
