TO COST S24,0OO,OOO
Will Mount Twelve l6-Inch
Guns---Engines Of $780,
900 Horsepower

Washington, Dec. 2O.-y-Ameriea s new
giant battleships will cost $4,000, 900
each and win mount IL 16-inch guns,
naval chiefs told the house naval com
mittee today. They will be, SO far as is
known, the largest afloat, and the r,ost
powerful, with 100000 horsepower elec-
tric engines
Read Admiral Joseph Strauss, chief
of the ordnance bureau, told the com
mittee he himself would have selected
l4-inch guns for the ships.
Bearing out the testimony of Captain
w. S. Simms yesterday, Admiral Strauss
declared his belief that in a "'fight"
the range of battle would be below 12,-
600 yards-within the fighting range of
l4-inch guns.
In such case, he said, the fleet with
the greater number of guns, other things
being equal, would be superior.
On the new battleships, he said, from
l6 to 1s l4-inch guns could be mount
ed as against ~ 16-inch guns.

COMES FROM KANSAS
TO REGAIN HER CHILD
Mrs. Ina Anderson Brings
Suit Against ChiIfs
Grand Parents

A fight for the possession of 6-year-
old Cecil Anderson, son of Ina Ander-
son, who has come from Hill City,
Kansas, TO claim him, was begun in
the circuit court here today when she
asked the court for a writ OF habeas
corpus against William and Nancy
Anderson, grand parents of the child,
who live one mile from Aurora.
Mrs. Anderson, the mother, declares
that the grandparents are wrongfully
and unlawfully holding the child from
her and illegally restraining it of its
liberty.
In her petition she says she was mar
ried TO d. l.. Anderson, son of William
and Nancy Anderson, and two children
were born-Cecil and Kenneth. She
says she and her husband lived togeth-
er until September 1, 1918, at Hill
City, Graham county, Kansas. Then he
kidnapped Cecil, deserted her and came
to Oregon. When he arrived here he
placed Cecil with his grandparents at
Aurora.
Later she says she secured a divorce
from her husband and was awarded the
possession of the child. She declares
she has visited the grandparents and
demanded the possession of Cecil but
that they refuse to give him up. She
alleges they are holding the child for
the payment of debt alleged to be
due for his support and care for the
past three years and that they demand
$5 a week for this.
Because she feels she is the rightful
protector of the child and because she
says she can give it a good home and
an education, she asks that the grand
parents be compelled to show cause
why they should not deliver the boy
into her possession.

LITTLE WOMAN TELLS
Of HARD TREATMENT
Because She Tried to Kiss
Husband Was Made to Sit
Up All Night

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Because she tried
to kiss him, James R. Barnes made his
wife get out # bed and sit up all
night, while he slept, the wife, Mrs. Iva
Barnes testified today in her trial for
the killing of Barnes here last Septem-
Der. In small, trembling voice that
could scarcely be heard by the jurors,
the slight, haggard woman piled up in
eident after incident in which she said
her husband cursed and struck her.
Frequently she refused to repeat the
profanity she said he had used, saying,
swell, he just swore," and once when
her attorney insisted upon repetition,
she burst into tears and seemed near a
breakdown.
Mrs. Barnes testified she met Barnes
when she was milhner, through a
card thrust into her hand on leaving a
cafe where he had evinced interest in
her. He was 43 and she was 21 when
they married in 1908. Soon after the
wedding she said, he began to display
what she calico Temperament" and
within a few months struck her and
knocked her down. Such episodes
were frequent thereafter, she said, the
occasion being some times money af-
fairs and some times her desire to ac-
company him on trips out of town.

IRRIGATION COMPANY
GETS TIME EXTENDED
Governor Points Out Some
!, Features That Look Bad
on Their Face

Governor Withycombe and Jesse
Stearns, attorney for the Central Irri-
cation company, which is asking the
state desert land board to recommend
to congress an extension of their con-
tract with the state and government for
the reclamation Of 10000 acres of 9des-
erf land near Bend, clashed this morn
ing at the meeting of the board when
the matter came up for consideration.
The meeting was for the purpose OF
giving the water users chance to be
heard. None of them appeared in per-
son but numerous itelegAams stating
their position were received. The board
decided to ask congress to extend the
contract between the state and the
government for ten years, which time
the company says is necessary to de-
xe1op the project. Accordingly, resolu
tons will be forwarded to the Oregon
delegation in congress and to the de-
partment of the interior, recommend
ing that such extension be granted.
The action was taken by unanimous
vote as it was believed the only thing
to do in the present situation to pre-
serve stneI Wdter TlBhlS. lHt dCilOH
will in no way prevent the project from
being turned into an irrigation district
if it is so desired.
4sWith all due respect to Mr.. Stearns
and his enterprise, :" said Governor
Withycombe at the close of the meet
ing, 'tI want to make protest against
the company. / find from the report
of the public service commission that
it has been culpable. The report shows
that Roscoe Howard, manager, drew
$500 a month salary but this was fin
ally reduced to $500 a month. Also it
shows that he received a commission
for the sale of the lands and that he
was member of the Howard company
that built the project. He thus caught
the company in three ways. l regard
the company as having brought on it
self the present agitation against it and
Believe the time is coming when the
project should be turned into a general
