From this 1t would appear that II every

of being drunk. for the purpose Of ex-
onerating himself. The jury did the
rest in one minute and II seconds.
Stephens sold some horseradish to the
steward at the Throop hotel and was
paid 81 for it. Then the trouble happen
ed The hotel people charged him with
obtaining money under false pretenses,
although they had the horseradish,
stephens mad the dollar and there was
no hint that the relish was made of
turnips It was hot, all right, and so
was Stephens, the steward, the hotel
proprietor and the police. Stephens was
taken to the police station and finally
convicted of being drunk. So he APP
pealed the case.
When the jury in the case returned
from the jury room this morning after
being out one minute and IT seconds,
the verdict was handed to Ralph Cav.
He read: we find the defendant

A new system OF using water power
in swift streams without the aid of
dams has been inaugurated in Ari-
iona. The principle is very simple.
The whole power installation is on
boat, OF barge. securely moored to the
river bank Through the center of the
boat is sluiceway. or race, through
which the current of the river is able
to flow freely. Large grooved rim
wheels are supported over this sluice.
over these wheels are flexible steel
cables with rubber cores. Attached to
the cables, at intervals Of two feet, are
a series Of paddles, or vanes. The
wheels are adjusted at the necessary
height above the surface Of the water
to just submerge the cable and the
paddles. As soon as the swiftly flow
ing current catches a cable 1t carries it
down stream, the amount of power de-
veloped being dependent on the strength
OF the current and the size and num-
Der of paddles. or blades. According to
the Western Electrician, a plant of this
type Of 500 horsepower capacity is to
be installed on the Colorado river.
