 To Enjoin Lewis
 In Kansas Field
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

KANSAS CITY. Mo. Dec. 1e.- Redmond S. Brennan, counsel for the deposed Alexander Howat admins tration of the Kansas district of min CTS, asked for an injunction against John L. Lewis, president, and other officials of mine workers assuming control of the district, asserting that the Howat administration had been duly elected by the local union to serve until March 22 and that all contracts now existing between the district and the operators were con- cluded by the deposed administration.
 MT. Brennan was emphatic in his declaration that the international of ficials had no power to expel district officials legally elected by the local unions.
 Charles O. Finger, attorney for the international representatives. de- clared that the present controversy in the Kansas coal fields was the result of the past activities of Howat.
 "Howat has openly defied the in- ternational union officers and vio- lated the rules and laws of the inter national union and his own district, he declared.

MAXWELL EXPLAINS
 COLORADO PROJECT
 AT REALTY MEETING

Arizona should not wait for the other seven states to come in on the development of the Colorado river, declared George H. Maxwell in an address yesterday noon to the Salt River Valley Realtors association at it's semi monthly meeting at the Hotel Adams. Mir Maxwell was speaking on the subject. ''The way to reclaim 5000, 900 acres and develop a population of 5.000,000 people in Ari- zona.'
 This population can be secured, he declared, through intensified farming and industrial development, and to get this industrial development there must be cheap power and low living cost to encourage manufacturing in the state.
 The other seven states, said MT. Maxwell, will agree to the present plan for the development of the Colo rado only when they get what they want, which will be at least a part ot what Arizona should have. Don't worry about the development of res ervoirs and dam sites above the Ari- zona line, declared the speaker. Wait until they come down acress the state line into Arizona and the Glen Can yon dam site and then go ahead. Don't build a 700-foot dam as planned but one merely high enough to catch the flood of the Colorado so it can be released in a steady flow the year l around Then build the Boulder Can yon dam.
 Power and irrigation should be con sidered separately, declared Mr. Max well. They cannot be mixed; that is | why he is against the proposition as l it stands at present, he said. In or | der to get the greatest amount of | benefit the flow in the river be- l tween the Glen Canyon dam and the | Boulder Canyon dam must me equal | ized, the speaker said. In Arizona this water should be used to develoT power only. There is a 25OO-foot drop, and the power plants can be placed so close together that tho l overflow from one can run into the intake of the one below, he declared
 r rom the time this wate- comes into the Boulder Canyon reservoir il should be considered for irrigation purposes only. Power plants can bt placed at the foot of that 10 develo; power for pumping. A pQwer lint can be run down the Colorado riVel from the Boulder Canyon dam to tn, mouth of the Colorado and this powel
 used to pump water along the Colo
 rado river basin floor. If they triet
 to irrigate that from the canals with.
 out pumping, all that valley Iant
 along the floor would be waterloggeC and alkalied in 10 years. The wate
 taken out of the dam could be brough
 around the canals and used to irri
 gate the higher land.
 The meeting was well attended an,
 MT. Maxwelrs address was listened
 to with the closest attention.
 R. H. Fields was chairman of tn

 The officers took Farrell, the li- qUor and the car in tow and brought them to the sheriff's office, where Farrell was placed in jail to await the filing of a charge against him of transporting intoxicating liquor. A wire to Los Angeles relative to the license number on the car brought a reply from Howard Hill at Salinas, Cal, to the effect that an insurance company in Los Angeles will make application for the release of the car at once. The wire, the officers said indicated the car had been stolen in California, but they will have to await advices from the Insurance company to learn the details of the theft. Farrell. they said. claimed he bought the car.

Both myself and my husband OBJ
tanned untold benefit from Plant Juice
rs we had been great sufferers from
stomach trouble. Neither of us was at
all well this past winter; we had no appe-
tite. could not sleep at night, had head
aches and felt weak and all run down.
We both had indigestion so bad that we
could not take the lightcst kind -ef food
ipto our stomachs. We had tried many
medicines for this trouble but none OF
them seemed to do any good. A neigh
Dor of ours who had been cured of a
similar trouble by Plant Juice, begged
US to give it a trial as she said she was
much worse than | and had been cured.
Both my husband and | began TO take
Plant Juice and the result was certainly
wonderful; we both have splendid appe-
tites now and sleep well at night; we have
no more headaches and both feel in
creased strength and health. My hus-
band goes to his work feeling strong and
fit and it does not tire him as it used
to do. We are both so grateful for the
benefit we received from Plant Juice
that we are glad to give this endorse
ment for IT,
Plant Juice is sold in Wilmington at
The Miller Drug Store, 404-406 Market
