OHIO VISITORS
State Treasurer ncKinnon and DR..
Shepard OF Columbus.

Mr.. and Mrs. William McKinnon and
daughter, and DR.. A. NJ. Shepard. their
family physician, arrived here yester-
day from Columbus, Ohio, and are
stopping at the Hotel Adams. 1t is
probable they will go on to Tucson on
this evenings train.
Mr.. McKinnOn is state treasurer of
Ohio and his visit TO Arizona is en-
tirely for rest and recreation. He has
been very hard worker for years and
has refused to rest until advised by
mis- physician that rest was essential
and then he only consented to come on
condition that DIR. Shepard would ac-
company him. His trouble is mainly
nervousness with perhaps a Slight
asthmatic tendency. When he gets
comfortably located, DR.. Shepard will
return east.
They spent the greater part of yes
terday driving to points of interest in
the vicinity of the city and were very
favorably impressed with the country.
They think though that the altitude of
Tucson will be dryer and more to their
liking for a short time until the wea-
Their here has resumed normal condt-
tions, when they will return to Phoe-
nix.

CAVE CREEK FLOODS
How They Came and How They Nay
Be Turned Away.

Dan McDermott superintendent of
the Arizona Water company yesterday
explained the cause of the diversion of
the Cave Greek floods in this direction
and he pointed out how they might be
kept in the direction they should so.
1t will be observed that there are two
mountains of rock north of Six Points.
The waters of Cave Creek come around
the point of the most westerly of the
mountains and natuI ally fall off in a
southwesterly direction. At the inter-
section of their channel with the old
line of the Black Canyon road there is
a channel which has been wearing
from year to year until now it is a
hundred feet wide and about six feet
in depth. When che food waters reach
that point they are naturally turned in
this direction. Mr.. McDermott be-
Iieves that the channel was started in
the first place by the wagons which
traverSed the Black Canyon road. The
ruts were worn little by little until
the partition of land separating from
the Cave Creek channel was worn
away and the flood water did the rest.
This condition Mr.. McDermOtt says.
is bound to grow worse until a time
may come when the permanent bed of
Cave Creek will lie across the city of
Phoenix. He thinks that at a cost of
not more than $1,000 the Black Canyon
road channel can be filled and the wa
ters of Cave Creek again be turned to
the southwest.
In flood times a great deal of water
drains upon the desert from between
these two mountains but there is sell
dom more of it than the Arizona canal
can take up. But when its volume is
added to that of Cave Creek all the
canals north of the city are in suffi-
cient. Mr.. M'Dermott does no. believe
the project of building a dixie from
Black Mountain to New River above
the Beecham ranch is a good one. In
the first place he does not think ii can
be done for the estimated cost of S15,-
600. He points out also that when
Cave Creek is in flood, New River is
also. If the flood of the former were
turned into the channel Of the latter
it would be insufficient to hold il and
the damage would be merely trans
ferred to some other point. The ex-
PLANTATION of Mr.. M'DeGmott relieves
John G.. Harden of the responsibility
of the two recent foundations of Phoe-
nix. 1t will be remembered that it was
thought that the flood started through
an irrigating ditch constructed by Mr..
Harden. Mr.. MDermott says he has
been informed that there is no such
ditch in existence.

They drove to the Indian school yes
terday, to one of the ostrich farms and
over much of the surrounding farming
land, taking cOgnizance of the irrigat-
ing systems, the character of the soil
and the crops that make green fields
even in the winter time. The most
notable thing, the thing that cannot
but appeal to every visitor is the con-
trast often seen on the country roads
by a green field on one side and a lit
tie patch of desert on the other. 1t is
the only way to make people realize
the value of water in a country like
this and il cannot but impress n visi-
tor with the wonderful undeveloped
resources of this and similar arid sec
lions. Those at least were the senti-
ments expressed last evening by Dr.
Shepard, after his afternoon dive. Dr.
Shepard said they really did not intend
to come to Phoenix on leaving home
but were driven down by the cold wea-
Their. They went to Denver first and
found it very cold so started for Las
Vegas. When they reached that IA
nous resort it was still unusually cold
and they came on to Albuquerque.
where similar conditions prevailed.
Then they decided to try Phoenix and
were more than pleased to get here, for
though it is considered bad weather
here it is so much better than they
have found elsewhere that they are in
clined to call it Gods country, just as
do so many who have preceded them.
DR.. Shepard is a sOn-in-law of Con-
gresham Grosvenor of Ohio and
though he is yet a young man he has
an excellent practice in Columbus.

WORLD MAY USE
OIL ON ROADS
JUDGE WELLB0RN RENDERS
DECISION
Court Declares Alleged Discovery of
DustIess Idea Not PatentabIe and
Enters Judgment for City
of RedIands

Every county, town, village and COM
munity in Southern California, or in
the world, can use crude oil for the
purpose of making a permanent road
bed and no objection can be made on
any legal grounds.
Judge Wellborn yesterday afternoon
handed down the decision from the
bench that the patent of the Dust
less Roadbed company of Camden, N.
j., was null and void.
He gave the following reasons for his
decision. He said: After hearing all
the evidence, 1 am convinced that the
alleged discovery of Mr.. Mattern is
not patentable. 1t Is a monopoly over
a natural product used in a certain
manner and therefore cannot be. I'm
der this patent 1t was the intention
to claim a monopoly over mere fact
of nature. 1t was an attempt to mo-
nopolize the use of asphalt oils on
California roads. 1t was not show
that the alleged discovery was an in
vention and therefore I enter judg-
ment for the defendant, the city of
Redlands."
The attorneys for the defense have
been fighting the case for thIe years.
The lawyers for the defense are j. j..
Scrivener, who represents the technical
patent defense; Capt. j. D. Frederlcks,
who represents other cities interested
in California; Gesnel Williams of Hut
ton & Williams, who is the attorney
for the city of Redlands; and different
contractors who are interested in the
decision.
For the plaintiff were the following:
]. H. Miller, technical patent defense;
F. w. Lyon of Townsend & Lyon and
w. H. Barrows of San Francisco.

DEAD BABE IN HER ARMS
Immigrant Mother Carries LifeIess
Form of Infant Hundreds
of Miles

Special to The Herald.
KEN OSHA, Wis, Nov. There was
funeral at st. Georges Roman Cath
olic church this afternoon. Only five
persons were present, but the funeral
was the concluding chapter of one of
the most pathetic Incidents ever brought
to light in Kenosha. The little form
over which the service was read was
that of Adolph Rauer, months old,
the son of an immigrant who had just
come to Kenosha from Germany. Near
the lite white casket sat a woman
sobbing as If her heart would break.
The boy had died in a train near Pitts
burg on Wednesday afternoon and the
mother and father, having no funds
with which to bury the child along the
way, the mother had held the cold and
lifeless form in her lap for more than
forty hours, or until she could reach
Kenosha, where she had friends and
relatives.
The Rauer family had arrived from
Germany on Tuesday and had started
at once for Kenosha. Just after the
train pulled out of Pittsburg the child
was taken with convulsions and it was
evident to the mother that he was
dying. In the terrible presence of death
the mother thought quickly, and when
>he little boy died she made no outcry
but continued to sing to the lifeless
form in order to deceive the passengers.
Later she took clean white dress from
the grip and went into the women's
room of the car and washed the body
and prepared it for burial.
Then she began her long vigil to pre-
vent the train crew from discovering
the secret. The conductor came through
the train. and seeing that the babe had
been still for long time he talked to
,lnv .yonan and her husband. That's
the best baby ever saw" said the con-
ductor, and the mother, with tears in
her eyes simply replied, "Yes, he always
has been good baby"
AS soon as the train reached Chicago
the parents bearing the little corpse
walked across the city to the North
western depot and waited for train to
Kenosha. When the train reached
Kenosha she said nothing to the friends
who met her of the death of the child
but carried it more than a mile to the
new home. Then she broke down. Late
last night the remains were turned over
to a local undertaken and this morning
the coroner issued a permit for the
burial

quet at the Lankershim last night.
The occasion was the eighth annual

H. D. Requa, d. D. s., presided as
toast master and made several neat
speeches introducing the various
speakers.
The address of welcome on behalf of
the dentists of Los Angeles to their
friends the other dentists gathered
from all over the southern portion of
the state, was made by DR.. ]. G. Nc
Coy, one of the oldest dentists prac-
ticing in this city. He said that he
hoped that the cement of friendship
that binds together the dentists would
prove far stronger than the cement
used in dental surgery.
The response to the address of well
come in behalf of the visiting dent
lists was made by DIR. L. G. McAlpin of
San Diego.
An interesting address was made by
j. C. Chiffon on the city dentists as
viewed by his country brother. To
which a fitting response was made by
L. F.. Ford, who spoke of the country
dentist as viewed by his city brother.
Emma T. Reed told of the trials and
compensatlons which exist for the wo-
man in the profession.
A toast to the ladies was given by

Meet Again" was responded to by G..
