and particularly southern California,
mad some ideas OF its own regarding
the development of the river that
other states did not feel they could
eLdorse.
According to one local degelate, the
California representation was split
up. one group favoring development
of the Colorado by the federal gov
ernment, and the other group work
ing to get the league to endorse Coso-
RADIO projects by individuals or cor
poratlons. The ruption in the league
conference occurred when California
delegates insisted that voting on sub
jects involving the Colorado river
should be by delegates, while other
states claimed that each state should
be given an equal vote.
Inasmuch as the California delega-
tion alone outnumbered all the deei-
gates from the other six states repre-
sented, Arizona and the others Wig
orOusly opposed the voting-ONdele-
gates plan as not allowing each state
an equal voice in matters concern
ing the Colorado AS result OF this
controversy, the league parley was a
failure, as far as all states agreeing
on any recommendations was con-
cerned.
In addressing the conference. Sec
rotary Fall said that as the states IN
the league could not agree, and ow-
ing to the international character or
the stream involved in a treaty with
Mexico), his view was that the Unit
ed States government wouId take
over development of the river so FAR
as flood control and reclamation we're
concerned. He made no mention OF
any government work to develop
power along the river.
Hard Blow to California
Local delegates interpreted the Sec
rotary to mean that the United States
would not be hostile to the idea of
power development ~ states or prf-
vate interests wnen such power prof.
ects did not interfere with federal
plans for flood control and reclama-
ton. Secretary Fall did not indicate
when the government might start
construction of any projects along
the Colorado. He did show, however,
a keen appreciation of the menace to
the Imperial valley from floods in
the Colorado and ella rivers.
One local man who attended the
said last night that he be-
lieved the announcement by Secre-
tary Fall that the government in
tended taking care of Colorado river
projects was "a haGdI blow TO the
plans of the Southern California Edi-
son company for construction of the
Boulder CANYON project What the
next move of the Southern California
would be, this delegate said,
vas a mystery.

Ne W WITNESS IN
HAMAN KILLING IS
NOW Be INC SOUGHT

Ardmore, Okla, Jan. 18-A tray
cling salesman of New York fur
nished the latest mystery in the
Hamon case.
Efforts to learn his identity ana
his present whereabouts are now be-
ing made, it developed today, in the
belief that he has facts to disclose
which will make him the most i'm
portant witness in the trial of Clara
Smith HamOn when she faces a jury
or the charge of killing JakeL. Ha-
mon, multi-millionaire oil man.
There were only two eye-witnesses
to the shooting which resulted in
lannon's death.
One was the man now dead and the
other the woman charged with his
murder, but in the hotel room ad-
joining that in which Hamon was
shot was man who is supposed to
have heard the quarrel which pre-
coded the tragedy.
The man mysteriously disappeared
after the shooting. The page of
the hotel register which recorded his
name, IS said to be missing.
Although the defense is not seek
ing the missing man as a witness,
it was pointed out today that his
story may be more valuable to the
accused woman's side of the case
than to the prosecution. On the
other hand, he may prove the wit
ness necessary to the state to make
a strong case.
Reports today from Oklahoma
City that Frank Ketch, administra-
tor of lannon's estate, during the
oil kings lifetime, held a conference
there with Attorney General A. p.
to discuss plans for Clara
Smith lannon's trial, excited interest /
in Ardmore. If such a conference
was held, it may indicate the Ha-
mon interests are preparing to give
the accused woman a bitter fight,
according to opinions expressed here.

HANDS OFF RESERVE BANK,

Senator Charles Curtis, of Kan
sas, Republican whip in the United
States Senate, has the following to
say on emerging from conference
with Senator Warren G. Harding at
Marion:
"At proper time | intend 10 sug-
gest an amendment to the Federal
reserve plan that will LOOK to estab-
lish the origina; Republican program
of central bank with branches. This
would make it possible for the syS-
tenn to accomplish the re ult< for
which it was irended-the provis-
ion of proper financial facilities
without intention of earning profits.
1.-THE present difficulty is that the
regional anks are in competition
with each other to earn as much
money as possible"
Gov. James NJ Cox made the
charge repeatedly during the presi-
dental campaign that the Republi-
can Party was making a drive for
control of the finances of the Nation.
Curtis now admits 1t.
The Federal reserve system is the
product of Democratic brains. 1t
was written into the laws by a Dem
ocratic Congress over the opposi-
ton of the Republicans of the Unit
ed States Senate.
The Federal reserve system is the
greatest single piece of constructive
fiscal legislation ever placed upon
the statute books of this or any 9TH
err country. 1t has withstood every
attack and weathered the storm of
reconstruction. For the first time
in history the United States of AM
erica has been free from financial
panic after a great war.
Through the operation of the Fed
eral reserve system the small banks
Of this country ever have had
