OMAHA, Neb., July 31.-A newspaper
trust to defeat w. j. Bryan in any
political aspirations he may cherish is
being formed in Nebraska, with e. e.
Brown of the Hastings Observer as the
active promoter. The scheme is part
of a wholesale campaign of education

The plan, as outlined, contemplates
the establishment of twenty-one papers
in leading towns of Nebraska to en-
courage the anti-Bryan sentiment now
existing. The move is prompted by the
fear that another wave of Bryan popu-
larity may result from the recent dis
closures Of graft in financial and po-
litical centers.
Brown and his newspaper trust are
said to have the financial backing of

IS, 900 VOLT CURRENT
FIURLS MAN TO DEATH
ONE KILLED, ANOTHER is FATALLY SHOCKED
John Heprick Electr0cuted on Pole and Body Falls
to Ground in Sight of Fellow Workman
Foreman Is Rescued but May Die

Fifteen thousand volts of electricity
conducted along a telephone wire which
was brought for a moment in contact
with a wire of the Pacific Electric COM
pany. instantly killed John Heprick of
2161a East Fifth street and probably
fatally shocked Charles Frost of 1918
East Fifty-ffth street while they were
stringing Santa Monica toll line yes
terday afternoon at the corner OF Main
street and Vernon avenue.
So violent was the shock that Heprick
was thrown from the pole into the mid
die of the street and Frost was hurled
backward at the same time but was
saved from falling by his safety belt,
which he had fastened to the pole be-
fore beginning to work.
Driver Woods and Linemen King and
SEWERS saw the flash and rushed to the
side of Heprick, but he was dead.
Rescue Their Foreman
Without moments hesitation SEWERS
and King climbed the pole. where their
foreman, was hanging by his belt, tied
ropes around his body and lowered 1t
to the ground. While the linemen were
assisting Frost Woods called for doc
tors, and in a very short time three
physicians were on the scene. Finding
that Hepricl1 had been instantly killed
all attention was devoted to Frost's ap-
parently lifeless form.
AS soon as Frost began to show signs
of life he was removed to the general
emergency hospital. where he may die
at any moment. Physicians worked
with him for hours in hope that they
might save his life, but 1t is feared that
their efforts were in vain.
Heprick and Frost were employed by
the Home Telephone company and az
the time of the accident were stringing
a new toll wire between Santa Monica
and Los Angeles on Main street, across
Vernon avenue. Both men had just
mounted the poles and were in the act
of swinging the wire across the Pacific
Electric company's wire when the flash
came. 1t is said by the other linemen
that the two got the wire too near thu

Two Claimants Send Letter

A. K. Koebig addressed a commu-
nicatlon to the board setting forth that
he, with t. e. Gibbon of the Salt Lake
road, owned certain rights in the val
ley. While they did not want to "hold
up the city, they declare, still they in
tend to protect their vested rights, and
they announce that they are ready for
a conference with the board.
superintendent Mulholland explained
that these men own certain rights on
the owens, but that these rights are
located about fifty miles farther up the
valley than the holdings of the city
extend. The superintendent stated that
he understood Koebig and Gibbon had
planned to put In big dam to con-
serve the water for the generation of
electricity, but that the land which
the reservoir would have to cover is
portion of Rickie's cattle range. which
now belongs to the commission, so that
1t will be impossible for the two gentle
men to bother the city's supply without
first purchasing this land from the
city, Thus the commission is safe. The

Big Deal Discussed

Big Deal Discussed
AT the regular session Of the commits.
sion yesterday the proposition in all OF
its phases was discussed. 1t came tt
light that in the agreement between
Fred Eaton and the commission the
former was to be allowed all of the
land in the valley above the 10O-foot
level for the purpose of grazing his
cattle. The report of Engineers Lippin-
colt and Parker makes this concession
look rather small, however. for it
places the entire bottom of the valley
below this level.
Commissioner j. c. Elliott, in discuss
ing the purchase of the few remaining
strips of land in the valley said:
II feel that we ought to give those
fellows fair price for their claims.
We have bought the rest of the valley
on fair terms, and of coure If we must
condemn the few remaining strips it
will be an easy job, and we can secure
the property through the courts on the
same basis as that on which we have
bought the other holdings in the valley.
II also think that the residents of
independence should be allowed some
thing for their rights. We will prac-
tically depopulate the valley and this
will, of course take away that villages
income
AT this point Superintendent Mulhol-
land broke in with: well, you will
not have to buy out much, for there
are not many people there. My auto
was the first one to enter the valley
and the first machine most of the set
tiers had ever seen, and they all turned
out. j think gave ride to everybody

Commission Enthusiastic

The water commissioners are more
than enthusiastic over the scheme to
bring the water of the owens river
into the San Fernando valley Realiz-
ing that in all of Southern California
on this side Of the mountains there is
no place from which it is possible to
obtain a water supply sufficient for the
needs of a city of even 100000 inhab-
itants, they fully appreciate what the
acquisition of the water rights in the
owens valley means to the city. The
commissioners feel that at last the
solution to the problem they have been
facing so long has been found.
For years Los Angeles has been
swallowing every drop of water that
superintendent of the Water Depart
ment Mulholland could find, and the
business men who compose the COM
mission say they are convinced that
the larger business interests OF the city
are already looking with concern at
what appeared to be a drawback to
further growth on the part Of the city,
