CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Two
states and cities are involved in a
water power controversy before the
Federal Power commission here. The
question involved is the establishment
of a dam and power plant on the Col
orado river at the head of the Imperial
Valley.
The states of Nevada and Arizona
and the city Of Los Angeles have all
filed applications for franchises on
the same site and each is contesting
the other to a preference claim.
Under the present rules municipali-
ties are said to be usually given the
preference in matters of power de-
velopment requests, and for this rea-
son Los Angeles would appear to have
the advantage. 1t is reported now
that Arizona and Nevada are to make
determined effort to have the rules
amended at least for the one instance,
in order that Los Angeles may be cat
out. A bitter fight is promised before
the matter comes to a settlement, if
the commission consents to 90 into an
extended hearing while the hearing on
the protests is being had

MEX|CAL| IS
STIRRED Up
BY CAM
REPORT
Former Governor Said to Be
Awaiting With Score of
Others to Strike Blow on
Nations Festival Day.

The reports of new uprising in
Mexico for the purpose of oVerturning
the Obregon government and the seat
ing of Gen. Esteban Cantu in the pres
idential chair, are receiving fresh i'm
pctus and confirmation from various
points where political refugees from
the land below the border are gathered
in any considerable number
In MeXical there is feeling of un-
rest and uneasiness which is apparent
10 those whose business takes them in
to the district capital frequently. The
calling Of all but handful Of soldiers
to Mexico City, changes in plans for
extensive development work, the fact
that Governor Gbarra has recently
asked for leave of absence from his
post to go to the capital of the repub-
lie ard confer with President Obregon,
and many other things combine to
lend confirmation, at least in part, to
the persistent and increasing rumors
Of insurrection and uprisings, where
but a few months ago there seemed to
be abundant assurance of long con-
t:nued peace and prosperity.
One reason given for the removal of
the troops from MeXicali to the in
terror and subsequently, to the City of
Mexico, is stated to be the difficulty
of maintaining discipline and the
necessary esprit de corps in the face
of the evil influences of the bolshevst
agitators who have infested the dis
trict for several months. Some even
believe that disloyalty might result,
and it is thought a wise move to shift
the location of the troops.
Former Governor Cantu has some
loyal friends in Mexical, and a few
of these are outspokcn in their pre-
dctons that the 'httle colonel" has
not retired to private life with the
intention of remaining in retirement.
1t is openly said today that Cantu is
one of Il score or so Of former hi"h
officers in the Mexican army who
are now at San Antonio. only waiting
for an opportune time to come to
strike blow at the present admins
tration. If Cantu's influence and his
ability to procure funds have not been
overestimated, he may prove formid-
able factor in the revolutions that are
threatened.
The Herald, a Mexican paper pub
lished in Los Angeles, has Mexico
City dispatch which quotes the secre-
tary of war as saying that Colonel
Esteban Cantu is planning revolu-
tion to be sprung on the fifth of Msst
and another Mexican paper, published
on the eastern border. states in dis
patch that President Obregon re-

General weakness and uncertainty
characterized the butter market on
the Pacific Coast during March, TIE
report said. This condition was due
largely to increased receipts and a
diminution of local and eastern demand
which forced dealers to make price
concessions in order to dispose of cur
rent product, as the storage season in
the district is still month away. To-
ward the end of the month the situa-
ton was relieved by resumption of
eastern demand.

the cut was 46S. .579,396 feet. AL

(By Associated PreeS)

CHICAGO, April 28.-Remedy for
the disappearance Of the spoken drama
from great many small cities, due
to a combination of motion pictures,
high railroad fares and general un-
certainty of the theatrical business
outside Of few large cities, will be
sought at the 11th annual conyention
Of The Drama League Of America
opening here today.
"A report on the actual condition of
the 'one night stand made from

Eaton, director OF the league, said.
"Traveling companies as We used to
know them, have practically been
done away with.
"a manager has been called in to
tell his side Of the case, while how the
small town looks at it will be related
by Harold L. Beign of Grinnel, Ia.
"By its program this year the
Drama League frankly acknowledges
the need of amateur effort every

vive beyond the confines of the large
cities. Al its convention it is going
to bring all the help and encourage
ment it can to all those who are work.
ing for this end.
MANY phases of amateur effort,
high school drama, religious
drama and Little Theater circuits
planned TO help small local theaters
exchange plays and productions. will
be discussed. Perhaps the most i'm
portant Of all will be reports on what
has been done and can be done to
bring the spoken drama to the rural
regions.
"How much the theater has changed
in the past decade and how the inter-
ests of the drama league are changing
with it to meet new conditions, are IL
lustrated vividly in the program for
this years convention. When the
league was organized. its object was
to educate audiences" to support the
best plays in the theater and thus to
encourage the tours of these plays
through the country"

Residents Of East Moline don't like the i'd
Of having their city known to the outside world
a. suburb Of Moline, and are now consider
ing change Of name. The movement il IA
thered By the Chamber Of Commerce. East
Moline has enjoyed a rapid growth in popula-
ton in the past few years, and indications are
that the increase will continue. Annexation
with Moline has been talked, but it is unlikely
that the people Of East moline would concur
in such an arrangement. However. that would
he an improvement over tina present plan.
Some time ago the village of Watertown was
annexed by East Moline Many OF the East
Moline leaders favor adopting WATERFOWL as
the future name oftthe city. One thing seems
certain, and that is that East. Moline proposes
standing alone and not growing up in the eyes
Of the world as an outslirt OF another city.
The agitation brings to attention discussion
carried on several years ago with a view to
uniting Rock Island. Moline and East Moline,
a consolidation which would make city of
approximately one hundred thousand souls.
But the stickler was the unwillingness to drop
the identity Of either OF the cities, largely be-
cause of the historical sentimental and COM
mercial values.
