Attorney King On 4 Mission
 To The Isthmus
Well Known Local Lawyer Sails-Nature of Business
 Not Made Public

Attorney Clitus H. King, of this city and Fairfield, sailed from New York yesterday bound on a mysterious mission to Panama. It is known that MT. Kings trip is in connection with big business interests of Panama and this country, and confirmation of ru- mors to that effect was obtained this afternoon from Attorney John P. Gray who is associated with MT. King in the Isthmian venture.
 For many weeks there have been persistent rumors that Attorney King and Gray were interested in big bus mess interests in Panama. These ru- mOrS have reached the Farmer office for a number of days, but efforts to verify them have been unsuccessful until today
 Announcement was made at Mr. Kings office today that he would be gone for several weeks, and inquirers as to the probable time of his return Gray whose offices adjoin those of MT. King in the Warner building.
 Then it was learned that these ru- mors of the Southern business venture were founded upon fact. MT. Gray said that MT. King had sailed for Panama yesterday at noon, and that he would be gone for several weeks.
 
 deeply interested in business enter prise in Panama. We have been mak- ing preliminary arrangements for the undertaking. for many months. MT. King has gone to Panama, to make the final arrangements for the carrying out of our plans," said Attorney Gray.
 Asked as to the nature of the busi- ness, MT. Gray said that his clients were not ready for him to disclose them at this time. He could not speak, he said, until he received tn cir much the same position as is the lawyer to his client and he felt that to discuss the plans of the men Fn- terested would be a violation of con fidence.
 Friends of Attorney Gray know however, that for the last three months he has been making almost fortnightly trips to Washington which he admitted today were in connection with this business.
 MT. Gray said he could not state with any degree of accuracy just when his associate, MT. King would return from Panama. He said he himself will spend some time next week in Washington, then will go to Chicago, while MT. King is taking care of the Panama end of the busi- ness.
 Mr. Gray admitted that there was no Bridgeporter, aside from Attorney King and himself, interested in this clients are, beyond stating that they are not Bridgeporters.
 He added that he has already made plans to spend several weeks in Pan anna himself, during the fall, prob ably in October.

 The fact that many of their fellow employees have been discharged for in fraction of rules has had the effect of causing the other trainmen on the road to exercise unusual care.

HERRING PLAN
 IN BAD ODOR City Fathers May Finally Adopt Goodse1l Single
 Trunk System

There will be a hearing on the mat ter of the East End trunk sewer, on September 5, according to a notice received today by City Clerk Boucher. Wiseacres about the city hall said this morning that it is not probable that either the East End or West End sewers would be built this year.
 There is $100,000 available for sewer construction, and much has been said regarding the merits of the Goodsell and the Herring plans. At first the Herring plan appeared to have the call but since the hearing last Monday night when many new facts were brought out, the members of the com mittee seem to have changed their opinions. From present indications it is probable that the -Goodsell single trunk system will be adopted and that work will not commence until next spring.

Boy Scouts shoes for all boys.

Built especially for wear with rest of the Boy Scouts outfit, these Boy Scouts shoes are splendid shoes for live active boys. They are made for comfort, to with stand hard wear,-and they are mighty good-looking shoes for outing or for gen. eral wear.
 Uppers are of tan elkskin, a leather that wears wonder fully long and well. Outer soles are of chrome tanned sole leather; and the method of tanning gives to them a toughness that will make them outwear two pairs of ordinary soles.
 That mother whose boy is so "hard on his shoes" will be we'll pleased with these Boy Scouts shoes.

Admiral Seymour and his daughter,
Mrs. Napier, have been somewhat
lionized both in political and social
circles The story about Georges hav-

Seymour. had been goirs the rounds
so long that there we're many who ac-
tuaiiy believed, despite assertions to
'he contrary, that it contained much
truth. Now that King George and
Mrs. Napier have both been vindi-
Gated, the powerful politically and So

amends for what, the lady in the case,
at least, has suffered for the last 20
years.

KING AMENDMENT To WATER
CODE HAS MANY A FOE

ministrative body the board of con-
troll consisting Of the state engineer
and two superintendents has proven
itself highly effective. The amend
ment proposed by ex-Justice Will r.
King adds to the board of control a
new superintendent and makes its de-
cisions have the finality Of a courts
Its present powers are to ascertain
the facts in any controversy and make
reports accordingly. The amendment
according to ex-Justice King. will
make circuit court litigation unneces-
sary, as appeals will be taken direct
from the board to the supreme court.
AS matter of fact litigation and de-
lays will be increased. The board
now acts informally and without be-
ing subject to legal delays. It's find
ings are nearly always final because
correct. Because the people interest
ed feel that the board is impartial and
fair the controversy of whatever ma
ture usually ends at once
''The amendment also provides that
the district superintendent shall num-
Der three rather than two, that the
salaries of district superintendents
shall be s2500 a year instead of $4,000
and that the state engineer shall re-
ceive $1,000 instead of $2400 a year.
There is no particular complaint
against salaries, because performance
of the duties merits recompense, but
a lessened effectiveness, an increase
of red tape, delays in settlement, are
all to be complained of-and we do
complain"
Attitude of Reclamation Service.
THE reclamation service has not
the slightest political interest in the
King amendment" said Oliver P.
Morton, general counsel of the recla-
nation service in oregon, California
and Nevada, yesterday. But we are
interested in working out together
the water right problems of this
state. Our experience has been that
the present water code is away ahead
OF laws in other states. 1t has been
particularly beneficial wherever facts
were needed to be ascertained, as in
one notable case on Butter creek in
Eastern oregon, where a serious con-
tention was settled informally in a
few months by the board when in
