USING TOO MUCH WATER

Nontrose Press
Every water user should read the
report of Project Manager Foster in
last Tuesdays Press. where he reports
on the amount Of water used for ir-
rigation on the various projects The
local project used in 1921 over 81.
feet TO the acre This is a lot Of wat
er. The year before il was $40 feet
No other project approaches this vast
amount Two used . little over four
feet A great many use less than .
foot The trouble here is the con-
tinuous flow and much Of il is wasted
All the other projects supply water on
the acre foot basis which system is
simply that YOU pay for what you
actually use and that consequently the
water user has an interest in conserv-
ing the supply of water and not vast
ing IT,
Mr.. Foster says:
THE duty of water on this project
continues TO be high. This condition
is due TO the system in force of deliv-
ering water on continuous fow basis
which Is extremely wasteful and de-
trimen;al TO crop yields, and also tends
to increase the acreage Of lands sub
iect TO seep. l have no hesitancy in
saying that were il not for the fact
hat this valley has an average fall
per mile 20 the north of about fifty
feet, that the valley is cut up with
numerous arroyos, creeks and other
drainage channels, that the entire pro-
ject would, under the present system,
be one large seeR pond
Delta Independent:-The Fish and
Game Protection association, actirg in
conjunction with the forest service and
other organizations, has accomplished
some things, chief of which is a de-
finite promise made by the department
to Mr.. French, forest supervisor, that
an expert will visit this section soon
and make a technical examination Of
the water in the Gunnison river in ord

CHICAGO, June 17.-Mystery to-
night yelled the exact nature of an
operation performed on Harold F.
Mccormick, chairman of the execu-
Harvester company Monday night,
the news of which did not become
public until today.
At the Wesley Memorial Hospital
it was at first denied that Mr.. Nc
Cormick was a patient there. al
though it was later admitted that he
occupied an entire wing which had
been walled off from the rest of the
institution to insure privacy.
The operation was performed by
DIR. Victor d. Lespinasse, widely
known surgeon who figured some
time ago in a controversy with DIR.
Voronoff of Paris on the proper man.
ner of transferring animal glands to
humans, branch of surgery in which
he was said to be well versed. After
having been questioned at length by
newspapermen regarding the opera
tion on Mr. Mccormick, DR.. Lespi-
nasse issued the following state
ment:
Harold M. Mccormick is a patient
in the Wesley Memorial Hospital,
hospital some time and has under
gone a minor operation. He was
here principally for rest, both mental
and physical
DR.. Lespinasse, members OF the
hospital staff and of the Mccormick
family refused to discuss widely pub
lished statements that Mr. McCor-
mick had been the subject of a trans
planting of glands with the object of
obtaining an extension of his years
of youth.
Late today Mr.. Mccormick was
visited by his eldest daughter. Mu-
riel, and later by his youngest daugh-
ter, Mathilde, and Toward Colby, q
close friend of the family. When
Mr.. Colby was leaving the hospital
he was asked by a reporter if Mr..
Mccormick had undergone gland
transportation operation.
you had better ask him. he re-
piled. "He is smoking cigarettes and
feeling fine"
Shortly afterward Mr.. McCor-
mick. sitting UP in bed, received
S0NoTdl reporters. IN answer TO
questions he said that he was feel
ing fine" but when asked directly
regarding the nature of the operation,
he declared:
you might inquire at the desk
and added that he had no statement
to make.
DR.. Lespinasse, spent. most of the
day in lodging reporters and when
found in his office he first denied
his identity and then refused to dis
cuss the nature of the operation
He did, however, tell of his expert
ments in the splantation OF
glands.
The surgeon asserted that he had
known about the transplantation OF
monkey glands long before DR.. Vor-
onoff. He asserted that he had now
discarded this and operated with
human glands. He said that he had
been interested in this work. the
object Of which is the rejuvenition OF
human beings, for the last fifteen
years.

Pact Supporters
Claim Majority
In the New Dali

DUBLIN, June 11-Lacking definite
announcement of the outcome of yes
terday's elections for a new Dali
Eireann, the results of which are not
expected to be known untN next Tues
day at the earliest, the estimate is
hazarded in some quarters that the
Republicans will have 40 representa-
tives in the new Dali, that the group
which represents pro-treaty sentiment
in the old Dali will have 60 members,
while the new comers will number 2S.
If all the new comers support the
treaty, the likelihood of which has
been pointed out. it would give the
Free State forces working majority
on the treaty issue. The Republi-
cans, however. do not expect the di-
vision will follow these lines and pre-
fer to regard the new parliament as
likely to consist of 100 old Sim F'ein
members against 2S not attached to
that party organization. They say
that coalition cabinet therefore is safe
against attack on any policy advanced
by the combined Sim Fein wings.
The coalition cabinet is expected to
focus it's attention on administration
and the Ulster problem.

LABOR FEDERATION
VOTES To MEET IN

Coronado Coal Case Is
Condemned By Execu-
tive Council Report

CINCINNATI, June 17.-Observing
Saturday holiday, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor convention
here today toiled through a short
session with the principal business
being an overwhelming decision to
change the convention date from
June to October. Numerous other
changes in the federations constitu-
ton also were considered, but none
was adopted.
The session also was marked by
the federation's executive council,
composed of its IL officers submit
ting their report condemning the su-
preme court decision in the Coronado
coal case, which held labor unions
liable for damages under the Sher-
man antitrust act. No remedy was
suggested for overcoming the deci-
sion, a special policy committee hav-
ing been named for this purpose.
The committee, which is headed by
B. M. Jewell, president of the Rail
way Employees department of the
federation, meeting after the conven-
tion adjournment, decided to call in
a number of lawyers for advice. The
council report on the Coronado decl-
sion declared that farmers co-opera-
tive societies were affected by the
decision as well as labor unions.
Another development, outside the
convention, was the laying of plans
by federation leaders to have the
convention moved across the ONO
river one day next week to Newport,
KY, where a strike at a steel roll
ing mill has been on since last Octo-
ber. Interest is attached to the plans

men, has been marked by rioting and
bloodshed, and the issuance of court
injunctions against the strikers.
Plans for the meeting provide for
Samuel Gompers,, president of the
federation, to address a mass meet
ing, and for the delegates visiting
houses that We're damaged during
the strike disorders.
The convention session today was
marked by the arrival of John j..
Lewis, president Of the United Nine
Workers, who announced absolutely
and unqualifiedly" that he would not
be a candidate against Mr.. Gompers
for president of the federation. Mr.
Lewis was the unsuccessful contes-
tant against Mr.. Gompers last year
He also told the convention that he
and other leaders in the miners
strike would meet with the rail union
chiefs next Tuesday night to consider
joint strike action in the threatened
rail walkout.
Canuto A. Vargas, fraternal dele
gate from the Mexican Federation of
Labor, told the convention that the
labor movement was developing in
Mexico along lines similar to the
American movement. He asserted
that industrial barons" had circu-
lated false reports that Mexican Ia
borers were bolshevists or commu-
niStS.

cent.
Tuesday, the rail and miners

bers of these organizations. John L.
Lewis, president of the miners, for
mally announced today that the

tions upon the railway employees"

employees. for the meeting, Mr.. Lew

gree of justice which is necessary to
the men working in these industries
and at the same time give every
proper consideration to the welfare
OF the organized men and women"

Canton Collapse Complete
Says General Chen-Dr.

Speed Unification Plans
A pleased Wire1


PEKING, July 17-General Chen
Chung Ming, formerly civil governor
of kwantung province, whose troops
seized Canton Friday, announced to-
day that the South China, or Canton
government has been terminated and
that henceforth Canton would unite
with the north in recognizing the old
republican parliament.
Dispatches from Canton describe
the collapse of the southern govern
ment as complete, Suns military for
ces crushed and. the former Canton
president himself a fugitive.
Advices received here vary as to
the details of what are called the
last hours of the southern consti-
tutional government, nor is it defi-
nitely known how much fighting pre-
ceded Sun Vat Sens flight.
One dispatch from American sour
ces in Canton declares that Suns
bodyguard continued to hold the
presidential palace in the face of the
assaults of Yechui's troops after
their leader had taken refuge aboard
a gunboat and departed for Wham-
poa.
Another report said that Chen's
forces, commanded by Yechui, sud-
denly surrounded Canton, seized the
forts, invaded the city and marched
upon the palace.
Result of Clever Plot
The fall of the southern leader is
said to have been the result of an
agreement between General WI Pei
Flu, dominant military chieftain OF
northern China, President Lii Yuan
Hung and Chen Chung Ming, for
merly Sun Yat SENS supporter, but
who latterly came out in favor of a
reunited Shina.
Official circles here assert that
the elimina ton of Sun Vat Sen will
mean speeding up of the plans to re-
unity tbs country. However, they
issue the warning that a counter rev.
olution Hlay develop if Sun is able
to gather enough troops about him to
launch drive to regain Canton.
Supporters of General Wu Pei-Fu
hail him as p leader who has
achieved successes believed impos-
sible. In his list of triumphs, they
point to the crushing defeat admin
istered in the field to Chang Tso-
Lin, war lord of Manchuria: then his
statecraft in forcing Esu Shih-
Chang out of the presidential chair
followed by the recall of Ii Yuang
Hung to the post of chief executive
and finally his elimination of Sun
Vat Sen, the last great leader in the
country standing out against his re-
united China program.

To "Tell
The Truth" Is Not
Ground For Error

For an officer to advise persons
Under arrest charged with a crime 10
tell the truth is not the employ
ment of coercion, threats. duress and
deception for the purpose of securing
a confession, according to an opinion
handed down by the supreme court
in the case of George o. Laub and
Ruby Laub, appellants, against the
state, respondent. this county. The
Judgment Of the lower court was af-
firmed.
The appellants were arrested for
robbery, and having been advised by
the arresting officer that it would be
better for them to tell the truth, each
signed written confession.
These We're introduced as evidence
at the trial of the case, over the OBJ
lection of the defense, and that was
assigned as error, the defense con-
tending that such advice was an in
ducement and such an inspiration or
hope and favor and reward to the
appellants by one in authority as
would render the alleged confessions
involuntary.
