ON BOND ISSUE

F.. E. Thibodo and Charles H.
Reber Thursday requested court
of. equity to settle dispute with
Calexico regarding the payment of
street improvement bonds and in
terest totaling s50,162.
The plaintiffs disclaimed all claim
for damages and alleged they
brought the suit in the interest of
all holders of the bonds issued in
1882 for the improvement of Rock
wood avenue, Fifth and other
streets. Paul P. Anderson, city
treasurer. refused to pay the bonds
by order of an ordinance passed May

was not sufficient money. Thibodo

concerned adjudicated by the court
and declare the city should perform
its obligations by using all available
funds and by levy of a special tax.

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia,

kia intends to maintain un-
der arms until after the mu-
nicipal elections which end
June IL the scores of thousands
OF men called to the colors last
weekend, it was said authoritative
ly today.
1t was denied officially that DR..
Ernest Eisenlohr, the German min
ister, had made any representations
concerning the men mobilized.
Eisenlohrs protests, made yester-
day, concerned frontier incidents
and notably the flying of Czechos-
lovak planes across the German
border, it was said ,.st
In response, the government for
bade Czech military planes to fly
closer than three miles to any for
eign frontier. 1t was said that this
prohibition was decreed specifically
to prevent any inadvertent Incl
dents which might cause trouble
not only on the German frontier
but on the Polish, Hungarian and
Roumanian frontiers.
AS regards reports that there had
been German protest against the
maintenance of reservists in active
service, it was suggested that any
pressure on the government either
to demoralize them or to withdraw
them from the frontier and the
Sudeten German area would be
more likely to come from Konrad
Henlein, the minority leader, than
from Germany.
