overthrow Carranza; and Zogg went back to Mexico and reported 1 that he had collected the taxes!I % But the Mexican made the mis-| take of returning to Los An-j geles, wheje Otis was the government; so Otis had him grabbed —on a charge of over-drawing his bank account a few dollars, i Zogg had thousands of dollars in other Los Angeles banks when he made that little slip, but that didn't help him—his witnesses were driven away, and he was ! railroaded to Folsom for a couple | of years!The little General claims to : have a letter from Otis, offering ( him twenty-five thousand dollars j to blow the Imperial dam. You see, Otis wanted to “break” Carranza, he wanted riots and disorder, so as to force American intervention in Mexico; And the Imperial dam is a ticklish | proposition, being just inside the Mexican border, but controlling the water-supply of the whole of j Imperial Valley in California. To blow up this dam would mean ruin to the people of a whole country; but, if it brought on a war, it would have doubled or trebled the value of the six hundred and fifty thousand Mexican acres belonging to General Otis. Zogg declares that he has been arrested three times by various American authorities in an effort to get that letter from him; but they haven't succeeded yet, because he keeps it in Mexico. I find it easier to believe his story, because of the fact that Harry Chandler, son-in-law, heir and successor to Otis, was recently indicted by the Federal authorities for trying to ship arms into Mexico.Why attack a dead man ? you may ask. The reason is — one might paraphrase the old song:Old Otis' body lies a-moulder-ing in the grave,But his soul goes cursing on.Once every twenty-four hours the Los Angeles “Times” appears, and pours its venom over allPhones:Main Ind 82; SS.
