DELEGATE TELLS
OF WATER MEET
JUDGE HUTTON REPORTS ON
HIS WORK
IRRIGATION CONGRESS WAS OF
INTEREST, HE SAYS
In Public Statement Representative
Declares Pinchot and BaIlinger
Have No QuarreI-conVention
May Meet Here

Judge George II. Hutton Of the su
perior court, who was appointed by
Mayor Alexander as one Of four dele.
gates to the recent irrigation congress
at Spokane, returned to Los Angeles
yesterday, and in a comprehensive
statement gave his views regarding the
work of the gathering. He refers par
ticularly to the differences Of opinion
existing between Chief Forester Pinchot
and Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
which, he said, should not be desig-
mated as a quarrel, especially as the
two men are working toward the same
end-a perfect system of conservation
and utilization of forests.
The consensus Of opinion among the
delegates, said Judge Hutton, was that
the congress would meet in Los An
geles about the time the Owens river
aqueduct was completed. His state
ment is as follows:
Officials Have No Quarrel
Il look upon the Irrigation congress,
recently held at Spokane, as a most
important factor in the proper cOnser-
walton and utilization of our great ma
tional forest and streams. MI Pinchot
the chief forester, is a genius in every
sense of the word. President Taft's
secretary of the interior, Judge Bal
linger, is just the kind Of a man one
would expect President Taft to select
for that pOsition-a careful, conserVa-
tive, consistent statesman and just the
right kind of a man to act as balance
wheel to prevent the genius of Pinchot
from becoming erratic. From hearing
their addresses and from my personal
conversation with both men l am con-
WINGED that these two will work to-
Eether and evolve out OF the present
chaos a system of conservation and
utilization that will meet with the
unanimous approval OF the American
people.
1T seems to me rather unfortunate
that the honest differences of opinion
that exist between Mr. Pinchot and
Secretary Ballinger should be treated
by the newspapers as an open quarrel.
1T didn't seem to me the word quarrel
should be applied Secretary Ballin-
gers idea seems to be that if the nation
has a forest that is ripe and ready to
Pick il should be picked or logged
and placed upon the market upon the
most favorable terms possible, even if
IL has to be sold to a logging company
or lumber trust, but, as he said in his
cut it when it is ripe upon the |
best terms possible, get as much out of
it as possible, but do it, and do not |
take too much chance on FIRE destroy |
ing valuable forests before they can be !
used. Applying the same doctrine to |
the water power, use it where it can
best be used, carefully examining the !
situation and as far as practicable ap-
plying the power so that 1t will do the

motion of Judge Trask. representing
the accused. The trial OF E. r. Nor
cross and his wife, Catherine N. Nor
cross, on a charge of violating the child
labor law by allowing their young
daughter Helen to participate in the
demonstrations was later dismissed on
the same grounds.
When the hearing opened Patrolmen
Parker and Mack testified TO having
arrested the defendants. They told
how they approached the cabinet where
"spooky" hand was passing various
articles over the black curtains. 'and
seized the hand to find 1t connected to
the body of Helen Noscross, who had
been introduced as the wonderful child
medium.
r. S. Boyesen. a newspaper reporter,
corroborated the testimony of tho
patrolmen and declared the girl had
told some persons in the audience her
age was 13 years.
The defense then put on as witness
nurse who was present at the birth OF
the girl, and by her testimony 1t was
shown the child was born in 1895.
On the ground that the complaint was
faulty, that the charges were not sus-
tained and that the child was over II
years of age Attorney Trask moved
dismissal and the motion was granted.

PLANS TO GET RICHES

heiress to a portion Of the $150000

charge Miss Botiller's child, Charlotte
Marion Bennett, 212 years old.
Accompanying their petition for
adoption, the McGiverns, former
guardians of Miss Botiller, have filed
charge against Oscar Chavez that
he removed the child by fraud and
subterfuge from their care, July 20,
and now has the little one secreted in
his home, 2627 South Main street An
order commanding Chavez to bring
the child into court probably will be
made by Judge Wilbur today.
