Sacramento, Calf, July 26.-Cali-
fornia has begun an experiment in
the cabinet form of state government.
The department of agriculture was
established to control all state gov
ernmental activities of all agricul-
tural nature.
State Horticultural Commissioner
G.. H. Hecke has been selected by
Gov. Stephens as cabinet officer to
head the new department. If the
trial proves satisfactory bills will be
introduced before the next legisla-
ture for a complete cabinet system of
state government, with II depart
ments in addition to division of
finance, to control all governmental
functions.
A bill providing for the depart
ment of agriculture was passed by the
legislature this spring. All laws
passed during the session, except
emergency measures have become ef-
fective.
A law giving the wife equal rights
with the husband in testamentary
disposition of community property,
among those becoming effective, is
to be fought in the courts to test it's

BOARD Dive FATAL
TO C0RNELlA MCPHERSON:
SINKS IN DEEP WATER
Body Recovered With Hooks
Too Late for Pulmotor
To Be Effective.

A tragic fate befell one Of Be-
midji's best known young girls, late
Friday afternoon, when Miss Cor
nelia Mcpherson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Dan Mcpherson of GIT
Minnesota avenue, attempted dive
from springboard near Diamond
Point in Lake Bemidji and struck
the water flat on her stomach, ac-
cording to eyewitnesses, and failed to
return. The young girl was ii
years of age and unable to swim and
where she struck the water was about
twenty feet deep.
Coming up to take swim, were
Roy Wheelock and Manager Dodson
of the carnival company. Wheelock
saw the fatal dive but was unaware
of the inability Of the girl as a swim
mer nor the depth of the water. He
was called soon afterward and dived
several times in hopes of recovering
the submerged young swimmer.
"Bill" Gaines, driver of the fire de-
partment truck, who lives nearby the
scene of the tragedy, saw the whole
affair and Immediately commenced
search with graphing hooks, catching
the bathing trunks and drawing her
to the surface. A pulmotor was
brought into play but of no avail.
The mishap occurred in front of
the Freeman Doud cottage, about
4:45 o'clock and it is said by sew
eral that the victim had been coaxed
into going to where she met her fate
by young man from Duluth, Named
C. R. Charles. He was taken to jai!
and soon released. TO Pioneer rep
resentative he stoutly denied having
done as reported.

Omitted Press Correspondent.)
Washington, July 26.-That the
democrats are planning to make
President Wilson Il third term candf.
date was the declaration today of
eading opponents of the League Of
Nations. They asserted the demo-
Gratis have carefully worked out
plan to create the impression
throughout the country, by means of
senate speeches, that opposition to
the league is based on personal jea!-
ousy and partisan hostility to Presi-
dent Wilson.
This will open the way for the
claim that unless Wilson runs again
and is reelected the league of ma
tions will be ruined by Republicans,
should they get control of the ad-
ministration.
