Later on. another Yuma authority said
they used only five acre feet per year
per acre.
1t looked at this point as though Mr..
Secretary Lane would have to get more
teachers or stick to one In his course
of education in reclamation.
Mr.. Donovan hesitated to say that the
farmers could run the project at q lower
cost for operation and maintenance. but
he did think the cost under the Recia-
nation Service management was too
high.
DisagreemeBts Among Yuma People
The Yuma people seem to differ among
themselves a little. as do the people from
Salt River, but they all agree that the
whole project ought to be finished right
away.
Mr.. Newell gave many reasons against
this view. He explained that the gov
eminent already has large investment
there, and has put large acreage UNI
der irrigation, but 1t is not yet demon
strated that the use of such large guam
titles of water would not destroy the
land, as a result of the alkali salts being
brought to the surface by excessive ir-
rigation.
of the land may not be able to pay the
great cost of the works which they are
SO anxious to have completed.
To an outsider the maximum figure
named the probable cost, $3.50 per
acre, does not seem excessive for land
which the Arizona people say will net
$50 per acre per annum. To the cost
of the works must be added the cost of
preparing the land, mostly a leveling
process. This may be 800 per acre,
more or less.
Most unfortunately, the first estimate
of cost of the Yuma project was S35 per
acre.
Mr.. Smith stated that most of the
farmers went into it. thinking 1T would
cost only SIS per acre for the works.
The size of the farm unit on irrigated
land was discussed. and the gentlemen
from Arizona seemed to be unanimous
in the opinion that it should be $50
acres, or as much as a man could
handle. The reclamation act prescribes
a smaller unit because of the danger
of larger holdings falling into the
hands of large companies or perhaps
even trusts and spectators.
The last part of the hearing included
a statement by Mr.. Reager, Of the Or
land (CaD project. He praised the
Reclamation Service highly. and sug-
gested that the collection of water
rents. &C. could be made with less
friction through the users associations
rather than by the government service.

Legislation Is Traced.
Senator Borah traced the history Of the
legislation by which the Sherman law
was evolved and recalled the interesting
fact that Senator Sherman proposed an
amendment to the pending blu, which
had been prepared by Senator George of
Mississippi, to exempt labor unions and
farmers societies from its operation,
Senate, but the conference committee of
the two houses struck II out. This bit
of history effectually disposed OF the
claim that is often made on behalf of
the labor unions that the Congress which
passed the Sherman law never intended
that it should be applied to labor unions
or farmers societies.
Senator Borah stated that in the early
part of the discussion over the Sherman
law there was a general opinion among
Senators that it did not apply to the
classes now sought to be exempted. AS
the debate progressed, however, the sem
timent was to the effect that the bill, if
passed without an exemption, would ap-
ply to the labor unions and that il was
because of this feeling that it was pro-
posed to exempt them
Senator Cummins of Iowa was in favor
of the passage of the proviso. He de-
clared that there could be no such thing
as physical restraint of tude He said
that none of the English decisions to
which. the authors of the Sherman law
had turned for the words restraint of
trade" had ever held that there could be
a physical restraint of trade. The Sem
ator declared that he had no doubt the
labor organizations were assured at the
time the Sherman law was passed that
il would not apply to labor unions. The
Senator defended the Sherman law and
declared that il had done as much good
as any statute ever enacted and that
without il the growth of industrial COM
binations would have reached stunendous
proportions at the present time. The de-
bate will be confined today.

Homesteaders Differ Among Them

to Be Finished.

The reclamation conference before Sec
rotary Lane yesterday took up the SUBJ
ject of the Yuma project Before this
was taken up. however, Mr.. Bien, attor-
ney for the Reclamation Service, re-
quested that Mr.. Hill be given fifteen
minutes to answer testimony in the Salt
River Congressional committee, investi-
CATION The Secretary directed that the
answer be filed with him. A short hear
ing was then given to Mr.. Norris OF the
Sunnyside project in Washington.
Mr.. Morris accused Mr. Newell, CHER
OF the Reclamation Service, of having
sighted the board of the Water Users
Association, and of having told them that
he could not consider their atfidavits, no
matter how many they had.
He quoted Mr.. Newell as saying ii was
"all bosh and nosense" Mr.. Newell re-
piled that he had very little time on thas
occasion, and had told the board that
they should forward their affidavits to
the Secretary Of the Interior.
The statement was made that Walter
N. Granger engineer in charge. was
vhitewashed as a result of an investiga
ton, but very soon resigned. In reply
the Reclamation Service officials deveI-
oped the fact that the alleged whitewash-
ing was not done by the reclamation. In
fact, ii was not made entirely clear or
just what nature was the investigation.
Mr.. Newell further dsclaimed any
intention of discourtesy and offered
apology, though he could not now re-
member the incident, which occurred
four years ago.
'HOmcsteRder Is Witness"
Testimony upon the Yuma project was
given chiefly by Mr.. Malloy, who de-
scribed himself as "homesteader;"
Mr.. Donovan. farmer; Mr.. Michael
son. described by his associates as a
Yuma banker, and Mrs. Earl b. Smith,
who is every inch a lawyer with
strong speaking voice. Mr.. Smith could
not refrain from occasionally address
ing Secretary Lane as your honor
Smiths remarks, or rather speech,
caused the Secretary To remark that it
was evident that the United States gov
ernments attempt to boss the water
users associations had been fiat fail
ure.
Mr.. Donovan said that down in Yuma
they raise from seven TO nine crops
Of alfalfa per year. and use two acre
feet" of water per acre for each crop.

JUDGE LEARNS
BEER MADE BOYS
START THEIR ROW

II remained for Judge ChWchman. in
City Court today to put William Car
penter and his mother. Mrs Kate Car
penter. right on Williams age. The
youth was charged with assault and
battery, and when William was called
it was said the Juvenile Court had re-
ferred the case to Judge Churchman.
William. who is so small that ne wears
knee trousers, said he would be Is years
old on September 20 next His mother
said he was Is years old next month, but
she did not know in what year he was
born.
The court then had Officer Michael
Nlaloney look up the city health records,
which showed William to have been
born on April %, 1894. As William there
fore is more than is years of age, the
case was heard in City Court.
James Gfligan aged II years, ap-
peared against Carpenter with his
right eye bandaged and wearing a
blood smeared shirt He said that late
on last Saturday night while with
Carpenter they began fooling. Sud-
denly Carpenter. he said, threw a
brick at him striking him in the eye.
This caused him to go to a hospital
where FIVE stitches we're taken in the
i face near the optic and for awhile IL
was doubtful whether John would re-
cover the sight of the eye. Gilligan
denied striking Carpenter. During the
hearing il developed that Carpenter
/ Gnligan, Walter Sauter and John
Keenan, who we're together had been
drinking. The boys said they gave a
colored man FIVE cents for each can
of beer he bought for them and they
had five cans in all. This caused Car
penter TO become intoxicated and he
wanted 10 fight.
Neither of the boys knew who thu
man is who bought the beer for them
After hearing the evidence Judg'
Churchman said he wanted time Z
consider the case and questions Car
penter about the beer drinking. Th
case was then continued until mex
Tuesday. the youth being held unde
$500 bail, furnished by his mother.

Auto Truck TO Haul Grapes
to the Wilmington Markets

to make a round trip daily between
Smyrna and Wilmington He proposes
10 haul the grapes at the actual cost Of
operation of the automobile truck The
cost will be for the delivery from
smyrna direct TO the doors of the COM
mission houses Mr.. Alderman halicVes
the hauling by motor truck can be made
at less cost than shipments by train, as
not only freight but carriage charges
enter into shipment, by freight train.
The fve.ton truck will haul three
hundred cases OF grapes. Mr.. Alderman
has found lie has no doubt of the abll-
ity OF the truck 10 make a quick trip
10 the Wilmington market with such a
load Three hundred cases dny Is "a
small pprtion Of the grape shipments
from SMYRNA and vicinity but they
ought 10 prove big boon 10 the VII
minpton markets.
MIR. Alderman is going further in his
endeavor TO lessen the cost of getting
products to the Wilmington markets
and demonstrate the adaptability OF the
motor truck for that purpose He has
ranvassed some of the wholesale grocers
and other shippers of goods from vii
mington TO points between Wilmington
and Smyrna and has solicited portion
Of their freight or express delivery to
those points. Mr. Alderman wishes TO
have a loaded motor truck both ways.
The revenue he derives from delivering
freight TO Newark. Middletown, Towns
end and Smyrna he expects TO apply to
the cost OF operating and corresponding
" reduce the charge to be made to the
grape growers. Thus, If II costs $50 a
day TO operate the motor truck at tul'
lest hauling capacity and he should
receive $50 for hauling freight or ex-
pressage from Wilmington to points
along the route 10 Smyrna, he would
haul the grapes TO Wilmington for moth
ing. Mr. Alderman today said he does
not expect 10 take one cent above actual
operating expenses for himself, the dem
onstration being arranged by him to try
to show that products from Delaware
orchards, vineyards and farms can be
hauled TO Wilmington by motor trucks
and yield as good II not better re-
turns than if those products were ship.

Chamber Of Commerce Ad-
vanCeS New Plan After Home
Celebration Fails
CITIZENS AND AUTO
PARADES ARE PROJECTED

The publicity and mercantile com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
will not relax their efforts to utilize
the coming State fair as an oppor-
tunity to advertise Wilmington be-
cause a majority of City Council post
poned action on the home week ap-
preparation until a date which prac-
tically made the use of the money i'm
possible for the purpose intended.
The campaign now in progress by
the Chamber of Commerce contem-
plates that Wilmington has inherent
in its citizenship. all the necessary
elements which go to make a first
class city. 1t is believed that at this
time Wilmington's greatest hope is
not far away, but near by, in fact
within the city itself Il is believed
that once the people OF Wilmington are
aroused. they will do for their city
all those reasonable things which
their love of city, their civic pride,
and the advantages of the city's
physical environment suggests they
should have. This is briefly the foun-
dation on which the campaign for a
better Wilmington is laid
The State Fair, which had the en-
dorsement of the State, by a $4,000 ap-
preparation, appealed to members OF
the committee as an opportunity to ad-
/ vertise Wilmington. II was decided
after reflection that Home Week func-
tions during the nights of fair week
would be an added attraction, which
would draw more people to Whining
ton, while it was adding to the pleas
ure of those who are residents here
/ Il was believed that a big, successful
( fair here this year would put the Fail
Association on a sound financial basis
which would in the future, make the
1 Wilmington fair one of the great fail
events Of the east.
The embarrassment caused by tn
postponement by City Council changes
the plan somewhat, but will cause no re
Taxation OF energy. The committees de
sire that there will be an automobile
demonstration advertising the fail
probably on the last Thursday nigh
in this month. Every citizen who own
an automobile is asked to partcipat
in this event At this time il is pro
posed to go as far as Dover. demonstrat
ing in Middletown. Newark. Smyrna an

Another feature proposed with de
tails to work out, is that every war
will organize and send representative
to a parade of citizens. which parad
will, with plenty of music, march to tn
fair grounds and open the fair.
The Peninsula Editors Association
will be asked to come {,
Wilmington and open the fair am
everything will be done to make th
fair the great event it could be an
the important factor it will be in fur
thering the progress of the cominl
better Wilmington. The white um
brella with an appropriate Whining
ton motto, promises to be an emblem
by which we may reasonably conquer
and IL will be prominent in all futur
demonstrations
