Harding Has Two Settlement Plans
 In Rail Disputes
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, April 9-President Harding has before him two pro- posals for settlement of the dispute between the railroads and their em- ployes. One proposition, that from $. Davies Warfield and Darwin P. Kingsley, representing railroad se- curity owners, is that he use his good offices to bring about regional con- ferenceS between the carriers and their men. The other, submitted by B. M. Jewell for the five railroad mechanical unions, is that he bring about a general conference.
 MT. Warfield and MT. Kingsley be- lfeve that one outcome of the confer ences they have suggested would be the formation of a regional railway board in each of the four territorial groups Such boards, it is explained, would be composed of representa- tives of the railroads and the men. To them would be referred disputes which could not be adjusted by direct negotiation.
 Should these boards fail to adjust the differences, disputed points would go to the railroad labor board.
 Railroad security owners are rep resented as feeling that there should be some settlement speedily reached that the situation is too critical gen. erally to have methods of procedure interrupt settlements.
 President Harding today conferred with l.. E. Sheppard. president of the Order of Railway Conductors. Air Sheppard is understood to have ad- vised against any general reduction | of employees wages.

 "The recently developed opposition of the United Typothetae will make no difference in our original plans,' said MT.

[RepubIican A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, April s.-The highest dam in the world. to join the states of Nevada and Arizona. and harness turbulent waters of the Cola rado river for extended irrigation in the Southwest. is to be constructed Tn the near future by the United states reclamation service.
 The dam, according to tentative plans, would rise to the unprecedent- ed height of 500 or 500 feet in Boulder canyon, where granite abutments rise more than 1000 feet above the water surface. Engineers Of the reclamation service, afloat on barges. are now boring for bedrock beneath.
 A lake varying from 30 to 50 miles Tn length would be backed up in the Colorado and Virgin rivers: and in this basin would be held in check for irrigation the drainage from almost the entire Colorado river basin, in cluding parts of six states.
 The proposed structure would be higher by far than the worlds high est dam at present-Arrowrock daln on the Boise river. Idaho, which measures 34S feet-and would top other famous dams in the United States. among the highest of which are:
 Shoshone on the Shoshone river Wyoming. BPS feet. Elephant Butte. on the Rio Grande New Mexico. SC0 feet; and Roosevelt, on the Salt River Arizona, 290 feet.
 Preliminary Work Under Way Preliminary work on the Boulder | Canyon project is being done under authority of congress, which appro- priated S20.000 for Investigation An additional s75,000 was contributed by local irrigators. Engineers have To- cated site and are making borings | for foundations. While these are in- complete. bedrock has been loca ted look is favorable, according to Ar thur P. Davis, director of the reclam- ation service.
 ! Interests from the irrigable region are expecting to bring their problem before congress at the approaching session. and through the committee on irrigation seek government aid, 1t it understood: but the exact natire of their proposal, whether an out and i out appropriation, government loan, or extension of credit, has not been announced
 So unmanageable has the river been in the past that it has often changed its lower channel. Like a huge elephant with body over seven states 1t has swung it's trunk about through the soft silt delta, uncon- trollable at flood and destructive to canals and levees. So active did the trunk become in 1905 that 1t entered the California Development com pany's Imperial canal, running 1 through part of Mexico to the Im- perial valley. and poured the entire river into the Salton sink, 200 feet

SENATOR CAPPER WILL INTRODUCE
 BILL n PREVENT
 GRAIN GAMBLING

WASHINGTON. April 9.-An anti grain gambling bill will be intro duced in the new congress by Senator Capper and Representative Tincher, both of Kansas. The measure, Sem ator Capper announced today, will be similar to the bill which failed in the last congress but will have a few amendments designed to meet objec- tions to the former bill and which, he said, would not penalize legitimate speculation or hedging" The new bill also will apply to cotton.
 As revised" said Senator Capper, fthe bill, believe, mets the approval of the legitimate grain and milling interests. It has the approval of all the great farm organizations. It will not win the approval of the grain gamblers, for it's chief purpose is elimination of the gamblers
 The revised bill, according to the senator, would place grain exchanges under the bureau of markets, with authority to confine speculation in Srade. This, he said, will end tho activities of the private wire houses where 95 per cent of the real 1 gambling is done."
 | The bill would require publicity fol 1 all future grain transactions and would require cancellation of boards 1 of trade permits if they should nor prescribe rules to prevent gambling
 Declaring that the decline of forty ] cents in the price of wheat in thret weeks was due to gambling and arti ficial manipulation of bear specu
 lators at Chicago, he said:
 Fifteen billion dollars are wageret
