Attempts to Secure Riparian
Rights-Eaton Says Fears
Are GroundIess

Stafford w. Austin, government lant
agent at Independence, is marked fol-
investigation by the United States gov.
ernment as soon as ex-Mayor FREQ
Eaton can get the machinery tC
moving.
Mr.. Austin, said to be acting under
the direction of some unpatriotic Los
Angeles capitalists, has filed claims to
all the Owens river waters which have
not already been appropriated by the
city and, according to Mr.. Eaton, hopes
to compel this city to buy him out.
Mr.. Eaton went to the owens river
about three weeks ago on secret mis-
sion which he refused to divulge, and
returned yesterday with the statement
that the city had rival in the Owens
river proposition, but added that there
was no cause for alarm, as the interests
of the city would not be hurt by the
filing of Austin's claim.
Austin has filed his claim on the
southwest quarter of section 2S, town.
this claims the riparian rights that be-
long to this city.
II think Austin and his hackers will
be the only ones to suffer-" said Mr..
Eaton yesterday. Il am practically GER
tain that these hackers are some Los
Angeles capitalists. but I will not now
say who they are, as 1 wish to investi-
gate the case more thoroughly"
Mr.. Eaton will act as guide to the

WINE YIELD LIGHT
Only Half a Crop in Napa, Sonoma
Alameda and Santa Clara
Counties
BY Associated Press.

Ky Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, oct. 2O-The
Chronicle tomorrow will say. In
Napa, SOnoma, Alameda and Santa
Clara counties, which comprise the dry
wine district, there is not more than
half OF the average yield. The quality
is not of very high standard, owing
to the fact that in many districts the
grapes are very low in sugar Reports
from the sweet wine districts indicate
a considerable shortage, but this crop
is of much better average yield than in
the dry wine districts. There is
thought to be sufficient wine on the
market to supply the demand, as there
has been a surplus for the past three
seasons.
1t is said in regard to prices that
While they may be somewhat firmer
there will not be an advance propor-
tionate to the increase per ton in the
price of grapes Last year prices for
grapes ranged from $15 to $3.50 per
ton, while this year $3.50 was the
minimum price paid, $40 per ton being
about the average

Fielding, minister of Finance of the Do
minion of Canada, who has been vis-
iting the city for several days, has gone
east. Just before his departure he said
that Canada's new overland railroad,
the Grand Trunk Pacific is to cost $123,-

in January, 1911
The line is to be 5000 miles long. It's
eastern terminus will be at Moncton,
N. B., while the western terminus will
be in the vicinity of Port Simpson, on
the Pacific coast, Immediately to the
south of the boundary of Alaska. The
line is divided into three divisions. One
is the eastern division, between Mono
ton and Winnipeg, 100 miles in length.
The middle division extends from Win
nipeg to the eastern foothills of the
Rocky mountains, its estimated length
being 100 miles. The Pacific coast di-
vision is about 700 miles long.
This new railway enterprise has been
planned to meet the pressing demand
for transportation facilities in British

grafton which is flowing into that coun-
try from Great Britain, Northern Eu-
rope and still more extensively from
the western states of the United States.

BLAMES THE SCHOOL SYSTEM
Doctor Says Imperfect Development
of Girls Causes Race
Suicide
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Omaha, Neb., says:
NO one thing contributes so much TO
race suicide as our modern schol sys-
tem," said DIR. Freda Lankton yester-
day, addressing the Missouri Valley
Homeopathy Medical association. Her
subject was THE imperfect develop
ment of our girls"
She said:
zone of the most grievous problems
of the day is the lack of development
of our girls. Our school system so
crowds the child as to divert to the
brain those energies which should go
to it's physical upbuilding. From these
nervously developed mothers, the
child becomes an invalid from child
birth. While the body is in process
Of development the brain should be
rested.
ut is not possible to produce a per-
fectly developed body and compass an
education in the short period of twenty
years. Owing to the strain upon our
girls during the years of physical de-
women incapable of producing normal
children.
IF you are to have a race of strong,
symmetrical and capable men and wo-
men you must modify your school
system. Dull children in our schools
up to the age of 13 and Ia often de-
velop into the most brilliant students
after that time. Nature has been de-
veloping the body during those years
of apparent intellectual dullness."

Amount
Rv Assoclated Press.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 20.-As the
investigation into the affairs of the En-
terprise National bank proceeds it
shows that Cashier Clarke, who COM
mitted suicide, was interested in many
corporations and that his associates
were prominent business men. Start
ling revelations are being made as to
the manner in which the dead cashier
managed the moneys of the bank. Some
of the directors, on the strength of
what has been discovered, intimate that
Clarke was defaulter to a large
amount 1t is believed that President
Frederick Gwinner and the weather
men of the banks directorate will make
some effort to get control of the Santa
Fe Central railway and the Pennsyl-
vania Development company, which
concerns are so much involved in the
banks affairs. By doing this as indi-
viduals the directors may hope to save
themselves, if they are compelled to
make good to the state any shortage in
the funds. II is further said that the
directors will lose nothing.
Funeral services over the body of the
late cashier were held this afternoon
at the family residence. Only immedt-
ate relatives were in attendance.
1t was reported today that among the
private papers of Clarke is a complete
confession of the operations which
brought about his ruin and the closing
of the bank. This confession, it is said,
narrates minutely all the steps in the
proceedings attending the securing of
the banks funds arid how the loans
were made, together with the names of
the politicians concerned. The paper
is said to have been found in the vault
of the bank and is now in the hands of

Woman vino 0onneG husbands Cloth.
ing That She Might Earn a Living
5etrays Herself by Characteristic
Feminine Gesture When Startled
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Attired in mas
culine garb, Augusta HelVey, young
married woman, sought work for four
days in the downtown district ming
ling with scores of rival male applicants
and passing unobserVed in the throngs
on the main streets. Today she would
have begun work as a male waiter in a
downtown restaurant had not an OBJ
servant policeman last night noted a
Enthusiastically feminine move and
manner in the youth. The policeman
took the suspect" to the police station
where the young woman admitted her
disguise and declared she had assumed
the garb solely in order to secure en-
ployment in which living wages could
be obtained. In st. Louis, she said.
she had worked as a waitress and had
been able to earn barely a scant liv-
ing, while her clothing had been worn
to shreds. Unable to replenish it, she
had taken from a trunk a suit of cloth
ing once worn by her husband and had
determined that henceforth she would
pass as man and endeavor to earn
the wages given the male worker.
The woman is 26 years old and re-
sides in Fairbury, Neb. When little
more than a girl she came to Chicago,
where she was married to Richard
Vaughan, it is said, a city employe.
Vaughan soon secured a divorce, it is
said, and his wife again assumed her
maiden name. She was thrown upon
her own resources and learned it was
ditncult for woman to earn a good live
lihood. She told the police that she
was subjected to continual annoyances.
A speeding automobile was the cause
of the failure of Mrs. Helvey's plans.
AS it flashed by a downtown corner a
policeman leaned forward to catch the
number. The woman. in coat and
trousers, was in its path. She shrieked
as she leaped aside into mud puddle
and made a motion as if to gather up
her flowing skirts. Then this youth
moved a hand to his hat as if to ad-
just it.
The patrolman waited no longer. He
had missed the number of the automo-
bile, but he took the boy" to the sta
tion.
