his company had been contemplating
the erection OF a sugar factory here
provided the irrigation project was
undertaken, but that the obliteration
/ OF the sugar tariff would hurt the
beet industry all through the west.
/ 1t is his belief that no better con
ditions for the raising OF sugar beets
can be found than those which ex-
list near Las Vegas. The soil and
climate is just what is needed and the
altitude is favorable. Mr.. Sigler
implied, however, that the present
tariff tinkering might cause his com
pany to hesitate before undertaking
any new activities in sugar beets.
It already has large investments IN
beet fields in Utah.
Mr.. Sigler's remarks, on the whole,
were encouraging. Aside from the
fact that his engineers had con-
Yinced him that the project was
good for watering no more than H.
600 acres with absolute assurance of
plenty of water in all seasons, Mr..
Sigler appeared to have lost none of
his enthusiastic interest in the ir-
rigation plant His decision viii be
awaited with interest.
Though it was not tated by Mr..
Sigler, it is reported on good au-
thority that the engineers who made
the estimates for the Salt Lake
City concern figured the water sup
ply by the closest standards. They
made no allowances for extraordinary
increases in the flow Of the CALI
mas, but stuck closely TO the figures
for annual year-in and year-out flow.
This means tnat in flood years,
which occur frequently, the big res
ervoir can be filled to overflowing In
a few days. The figures of the en-
gineers are conservative to such an
extent that their o. K. upon the ir-
rigation of 12,OOU acres means that
such a tract can pc kept sufficiently
wet even in dry years 10 raise the
best of crops without fear of failure.
Mr.. Sigler talked today with Judge
David ]. Leahy, legal custodian of
the land grant It is likely he will
hold a meeting soon with the trustees
Of the grant. Following this meet
ing. it is thought, Mr.. Sigler will be
able to announce his decision in re-
gard to the contract. He still has
considerable portion Of his 9O-days'
option in which to act.

She TELLS QUEER STORY
POLICE PICK MANY FLAWS IN
HER ACCOUNT OF HER
HUSBANDS DEATH.
RESULT OF UNLAWFUL LOVE
DOMESTIC HAPPINESS OF TWO
HOUSEHOLDS SHATTERED
BY A LIAlsoN.

| Chicago, April 1S.-Mrs. Augusta
Dietz, widow OF George Dietz, a tailor,
who was beaten to death with ham
mer at his home in Aldine avenue
last Monday and George Nurnberg,
owner of a harness shop, today were
formally booked on charges Of MUIR
der.
The complaints charge Mrs. Dietz
and Nurnberg with numbering the wo-
mans husband by assaulting him
with a hammer. 1t was planned to
fix the bail of the prisoners this af-
ternoon. The preliminary hearing
probably viii be continued until after
the coroner's inquest, which is to be
resumed April "a.
On the blotter of the Sheffield ave
nue. branch of the municipal court to-
day appeared the names of Mrs. Au-
gusta Dietz and George Nurnberg for
arraignment in connection with the
murder Of Mrs. Dietz's husband,
George Dietz a fashionable ladies'
tailor. Oh the charge book Of the
police station their names were writ
ten in red ink, which is the practice
when the charge is murder.
At the coroner's inquest yesterday
it was testified that Nurnberg, a har-
ness maker, and Mrs. Dietz had en-
gagged in liaison for some months.
Dietz was aware of this, as was the
harness makers wife, who had her
husband watched by detectives, who,
among other things, had tapped tele-
phone wires and listeno1 n alleged
conversations between Nurnberg and
Mrs. Dietz.
Two months ago Mrs. Dietz con-
suited a lawyer about obtaining a di-
vorce. but was dissuaded. Nurnberg
and Mrs. Dietz. according to tes:i-
mony, spent part of the day preced-
the murder at Highland park togeth-
er.
The testimony showed further that
on the night of the murder Mrs. Dietz
did not occupy her bed, as she is said
to have told the police; that she was
fully dressed when sne gave the
alarm to the police and wore her wig
and corset, which she was never
known to do before so early in the
morning; and that when the officers
arrived they found the milk bottle
outside the door, although Mrs. Dietz
is said to have told the police that
she found the body of her husband af-
ter bringing in the bottle.
Coroner Hoffman today offered a
reward of $50 for information which
would show where the hammer with
which Dietz was killed was purchased.
The officials said it apparently
came from a second hand store, as it
was somewhat rusty The manufac-
.turers Of the implement nave been.
unable to trace. it beyond their estab-.
lishment
Coroner Hoffman received a letter
today which he said was startlingly
similar in spelling to the illiterate
stenciled missive winch the murderer
Of Dietz left. The writer said he com
mitted the crime and expressed scorn
for the police The note was scrawled
on the Ietterhead Of a hotel in city
about 45O miles from Chicago and
kilograms were sent to the authori-
ties there asking them TO locate the
writer The name Of the city and the
exact contents Of the letter were not
revealed

ly pleased at the prospect Of passing

Senators Birdsall and Thompson,

OF the amended senate bill now pend

that they regarded the situation as

Senator Thompson continues TO-
protest against the proposed amend

Has Studied Conditions
Assemblyman George Carpenter of

Hull of the legislature and told Of the
years of work of Mr.. Hull fer legisla-
ton that would benefit the farmers
and those engaged in mechanical and
other industrial pursuits.
When Mr.. Hull arose he said he had
just escaped from the Legislature and
on account of the pressure of business
at the close was not able to retire
until O'Clock in the morning. After
relating few humorous incidents he
said he regretted there was no such
organization in Jackson county where
he resided. There was great need of
societies to study conditions to advance
the farmers welfare. AS long as the
farmers receive but as per cent Of
the money which their products bring
from the consumer, they should study
conditions for their own and the flu
lures welfare. He spoke of the over
Gro wding of the cities, how the citizens
gather in the saloons, clubs and ether
public places and rail at the high cost
of living when they are largely to
blame. The modern conveniences in
the city have been important factors
in the high cost of living. More of
those in the densely populated centers
should return to the SOIL The raising
of beef has decreased one-third in ten
years and many other things in pro.
portion. He assured his hearers that
the government of this state was not
located in Madison but among the
people and they must solve the prob
