Pandemonum broke loose at the Water Users building yesterday when Miss Genevieve Schauffhauser, a for mer employe of the reclamation ser vice in the water office, exposed" to nearly fifty users the fraudulent practices of the officers which she discovered while in the department. The gang which she branded as grafters, thieves. petty crooks and hshwaymen" included all officers of the Water Users association.
 Hot shot after hot shot rang from the throat of the suffragette, who claimed that of the (mytnicaD $12.- QUO.0OU paid by water users since the completion of the Roosevelt dam. S7,500,000 had gone into the pockets of the officers. Tt is one of the biggest wholesale grafting schemes in the his tory of the southwest she stated. Following are some of her charges:
 That President OTme, Secrc ary Van der Veer, Engineer W. R. Elliott and E. J.<Bennitt have gratted mora than S1.500,000 from the water users.
 That the gang controlled all pap- els and courts ir Phoenix.
 Tha; judges were easily silenced dt very small figures.
 That the TWO United States sena tors from Arizona were owned, body and soul. by the gang"
 That CongreSsrnan Hayden had been repeatedly brihed.
 That the postoffice department was getting it's share" for abstractiHg letters from the mail
 There were a few persons in Phoe- nix who escaped the severe tongue flashing, but they hold only minor offices and positions and il thereiore would be uninteresting to have their names Included
 According 10 information receiv q here yesterday, Miss Schauffhauser has been giving preliminary meetings throughout the district for the past several weeks. The meeting in Phoe- nN yesterday was a grand finale. in which the agitator had evidently hoped that hundreds of the users would be present. In this. however she was doomed to ppointment as scarcely fifty Were present.
 Probably the most interested at tendants at the session were Messrs Van der Neer, OrmA and Eilio:t En silence they listened to their own co7- demnation. When Miss Schaufff- hluser first slw the three men in the room. she ordered that the thieves and grafsers' take tteir leave. has
