ROOSEVELT DAM
FILED THURSDAY
GREATEST PROJECT OF RECLA.
!. NATION SERVICE A COMPLETE
I. SUCCESS

Phoenix, Ariz., April 15.-Artzon'
and the rest Of the west celebrate to
day the filing Of the Roosevelt res
ervoir. The water has finished it,
225-foot climb from bedrock, and To-
the first time since the completion o.
the dam in 1911, is pouring over thu
spillway. Thousands Of people an
journeying over the splendid govern
ment highway to see the Reservoir
Of Progress" filled at last.
The Reason Why
There is enough water behind thu
dam today to irrigate the 19O, ,OOt
acres of farm land in the Salt River
valley for three years without the
help of another drop of rainfall. In
addition to these lands already under
cultivation, water is now to be deliv.
cred to 10000 acres of new desert
land never served before. Even with
this added burden, there is enough
water in the reservoir to put every
farm in the valley under four feet OF
water.
The Celebration
The celebration at Roosevelt today
takes the form of an old-time range
barbecue with speeches afterward,
and dances and boat rides after that.
Some of the distinguished personages
present at the blessing Of the waters
are Vice-President Thomas r. Mar
shall, who is resident of the valley,
United States Senators Ashurst and
Smith, Congressman Hayden, George
H. Maxwell, director of the National
Reclamation association, and Advis-
ory Engineer Louis C. Hill Of the rec
lamation service.
The Way There
A party of Raymond -Whitcomb
tourists will pass the dam tomorrow
in time to stir the ashes Of today's
celebration. The Southern Pacific is
now routing much of its cross-conti-
nent travel via Roosevelt, the dis
tance of 14O miles between Globe and
Phoenix being covered by an auto
mobile ride over the government high
way through the mountains. along the
edge Of Roosevelt lake, and down in
to the Salt River valley. The noun
tain region traversed by this road is
Of such scenic beauty that q cam
paign is now under way to make It
q national park.
The Dam
Not the least of the wonders Of this
new park will be the dam itself. This
artificial mountain of granite is 285
feet high and 165 feet thick at the
base. The roadway upon its crest is
twenty feet wide and the lake above
twenty miles long. Forty-five miles
farther down the Salt river is the
Granite Reef diversion dam, and from
that point canals and laterals carry
the water to the foot of every orange
tree and alfalfa stalk in the broad
valley.
The Power Plants
Three great hydro-electric plants
at the dam, the Arizona Falls, and
Temple a total Of $4,000
This wire-walking en-
ergy operates the city and interurban
electric railways of the valley and
furnishes light and power to half
dozen cities and towns.
Making Money
The whole project has cost $12,-
100000, and the return from the
power plants, which are now being en-
larged, is expected to pay off this en-
tire amount. Thus the land is left
free of burden and the farmer goes
On declaring dividends on water free

ONLY ONE CHANCE
LEFT FOR FRANK
STATE OFFICIALS ONLY ONES
1T IS CLAIMED WHO CAN
SAVE HIM

Washington, April 19.-Leo M.
Frank, convicted of numbering Mary
Phagan, Atlanta, Ca, factory girl, lost
his habeas corpus case in the federal
supreme court today, the court decid-
ing against him.
1t is believed only state officials Of
Georgia can save Frank from the
death penalty.
Justice Pitney, who delivered the
opinion of the court, concluded:
"In all the proceedings in the courts
of Georgia, fullest right and oppor-
tunity to be heard, according to a.
tablished modes of procedure, were
accorded him."
Two Judges Dissent
BY the decision, the court dismissed
Franks appeal from the federal court
of Georgia, which refused to release
him on writ of habeas corpus.
Frank contended "alleged mob vio-
lence" at his trial, and the fact that
he was absent from the court room
when the jury returned its verdict, re-
moved him from the jurisdiction Of the
courts of Georgia.
The majority OF opinion OF the su-
preme court today rejected all those
contentious, and declared Frank has
enjoyed all his legal rights in Georgia
courts. Justices Holmes and Hughes
dissented.
The supreme court majority opin-
ion, written by Justice Pitney, holds
that the finding of the supreme court
of Virginia, that there was no mob
violence at the trial, is binding upon
this court. The dissenting opinion,
however, maintains that the Virginia
courts findings with respect to such
alleged mob violence, is not binding.

For some time the legality of the
state initiative and referendum pro-
vision has been questioned. It has
been maintained that the legislature
was faulty in its handling of the prob
lem, allowing fatal irregularities to
creep into the proceedings.
1t is maintained, however, that such
irregularities as did exist, were not
vital, that being the view taken by
the attorney general.
In view of the circulation at the
present time of numerous referendum
petitions, bearing upon measures pass
ed by the last legislature, the opinion
is of more than usual Importance.

INITIATIVE ACT
PASSED IN FORM
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAIN
TAINS CONSTITUTIONAL PRO-
VISION WILL HOLD WATER

Bismarck, N. D., April 16.-1n a
letter addressed to Governor Hanna,
Attorney General Linde today holds
that the initiative and referendum
amendment to the constitution is
valid.
Mr.. Linde goes thoroughly into OBJ
jections that have been raised to the
manner in which the amendment was
passed, and holds that they all were
proper in their form.
There have been various opinions
given by attorneys over the state re-
garding the validity of the amend
ment, some that it was good and 9TH
ers that there were flaws in the man
ner in which it was passed.

New York police are taken from the
