stratagem. Pretending to dismiss the
case, he addressed the accused as fol-
lows: "As your guilt does not seem
to be established, you may take your
guns and go home" The men fell into
the trap and unsuspectingly took up
their property. The proceedings were
reopened. Both made full confession.

FORMER GAIETY GIRL
is A HIT IN SOCIETY
RECEIVED BY IRE
LANDS NoBLEWoMEN
Rosie Roote That Was, Now Marchion-
ess of Headfort, Makes Good in
Emerald Isle and Has Unbounded
Popularity There
Special Gable to The Herald.

DUBLIN, March 3.-There is no
question as to what topic Irish society
is discussing with most avidity at the
moment. 1t is the continued social
triumph of the handsome young mar
chioness of Headfort, who used to be
Miss Rosie Boote of the Gaiety the
ater, London. Triumph" is really the
only word that can be used in this
connection for, during the Galway and
Meath hunting season which has just
come to an end, the hostess par eX-
cellence has been the former gaiety
girl whom nobody supposed for an
instant society would receive" when
she married the marquis of Headfort,
some three years gone by. Probably
the fact that the Headfort's place in
Meath stands in the center of the finest
hunting country in Ireland has not de-
tracted from their popularity as host
and hostess, but the presence of some
of the most exclusive folk in the king
dom at their house parties is proof
positive that the clever young mar
chioness has "arrived' in the fullest
significance of that expressive term.
The really smart set has welcomed her
as it certainly never has welcomed
either of those other "gaiety" peeresses,
the former Belle Billion, now countess
of Clancarty, and the former Con-
ME Gilchrist, now countess of Orkney,
and hereafter her social career is like
ly to be about what she chooses to
make 1t.
Has Powerful Backing
Rosie Boote has had powerful coadju-
tors, it is true in her conquest of
swelldom, but it was just because the
duchess of Westminster-who is close
ly related to the marquis of Headfort-
discovered that his young wife was
level headed and capable Of making
good that she first advised the former
gaiety girl to bide her time, and finally
launched her at a big party in Park
lane.
AS a matter of fact the young mar
chioness of Headfort can be described
as thoroughly good stuff" Irish her
self she is fond of her own country
people, better still she is good to her
own family, who are not in the purple,
and she is not ashamed of them. She
is an ardent Roman Catholic, goes to
mass as regularly as Sunday comes
and to the poor she is the Lady Bounti-
full of the neighborhood. Her small
son Is being brought up in his mother s
faith and was baptised by the late
Cardinal Vaughan. Although a gaiety
girl she refused to marry Headfort un-
less he gave his word of honor that
the children would be Catholics. He
promised and has kept his word. Now
the gossips are saying that 1t is quite
likely Lord Headfort may join his
wife's church at any moment.

main channel of New river as yet The river at Calexc. is doing no damage at all, but 1t Is still slowly cutting away Mexlcall
 The decline of the volume of water and the conditions that have appeared render 1t improbable that much more channel cutting will take place. Mean time the water supply of the valley Is safe for the present and can be easily controlled as the water declines. Such control, however, will be subject to being carried away by sudden rise In the river. Before anything of this sort occurs the Southern Pacific will undoubtedly have the dam across the intake and the river under control.
 We see no reason fer fearing a water shortage for the valley. Nothing of the kind can occur unless we neg lect to look after that outlet above Sharp's heading. And MT. Cory has given orders to take care of that situ- atlon regardless of what 1t may cost.

PERMANENT HEADGATES
Structures of California Development Co. at hanIOn'S are Completed Means for Regulating Flow
 Ready For Use.

/The management of the California Development company is getting ready for the big work of turning the i'm mense volume of the Colorado river back into its natural channel on Its way to the Gulf of California. For months as has been told times without number most of the water of the big river has been leaving its natural bed at the Mexican intake of the Development company's canals and flowing through New liver and Alamo river to the Salt on sea, filling it up and causing much damage In order to turn it back into Its old bed and to control 1t at the in- take, to be used hereafter, massive ce- ment and concrete headgates have been built, and the officers and engin- eers are beginning to think of the time when 1t will be possible for them to make use of the massive structures.
 Saturdays Los Angeles Times con- tained an illustrated article on the sub feet, the illustrations being of the mas sive headgates and machinery for con- trolling the flow of the water. In part the article says:
 The California Development com pany has just completed the greatest headworks which are to form the per manent intake for conveying irrigation water from the Colorado river to the rich territory formerly known as the Colorado desert. but now recognized as containing the richest soil, perhaps, in the world.
 The colonization taking place there at very rapid rate during recent years has been interrupted and threatened by the breaking In of the whole great flood of the mighty river through the so- called intake constructed by the California Development Go. below the international boundary line, which ought really to be called the nbreak.
 The headworks just finished for the California Development company, at a cost of $75 900, Is one of the finest pieces of hydraulic engineering d ce- ment construction in the great south west. This work was begun about De- cember last and has occupied the continued efforts of from 100 to l5o men until almost the present time, The undertaking was one beset by pe- cular difficulties.
 This new intake Is situated wholly within the United States-indeed, at some little distance above the Interna- tional boundary line. It Is where the Colorado river runs along near Pilot
