Mr.. Herrick. When the gates to
the dam are closed, to what ex-
tent would it protect the flow of
the river?
Secretary Hoover. The capacity
of the projected dam would be
equal, l think to the flow of the en-
tire river for a period of something
less than two years.
Mr.. Herrick. 1t would hold prac-
tically the entire river?
Secretary Hoover For a period
of two years, if you want to do it..
Mr.. Hayden. You spoke of in
sorting a provision in this bill which
would safeguard the rights of the
states upstream by abrogating the
law of appropriation as it now
exists in so far as the Boulder
Canyon dam is concerned. Do you
not find difficulty in now determin-
ing what the ultimate irrigation
possibilities are within the seven
interested states?
Secretary Hoover. Yes; the sew
eral states are not in any very close
agreement as to what the actual
acreage is that they will be able to
ultimately develop. Taking the
view of the Reclamation Service,
there is apparently, with careful
development of the river, enough
water for all.
Mr.. Hayden. 1t has been sug-
gested that an agreement should
be made among the states of the
Colorado River Basin that for the
next 20 or 80 years any irrigation
development which takes place on
that stream shall not create a
prior right to the use of water. In
other words, that the doctrine of
priority would not apply as be-
tween all lands brought under IT.
rigation during hte period thus
agreed upon, but that all appro-
priations of water should be con-
sidered as of even date. At the
end Of this period of years each
state would be better able to de-
termine just how much land could
be irrigated and they could then
agree upon an equitable division
of the water.
Secretary Hoover. The commits
sion has come to no conclusion as
yet. The theme that seems to
meet with more general approval
than any other is that each state
could proceed with its development
up to the ABSORPTION of certain
number of acre-feet per annum,
leaving a considerable residue of
the river unappropriated; that at
some future period, 25 or SO years
hence, they should again assemble
and discuss what would be done
with the remainder, thus giving an
ample period to work the relative

establish a water right under the

establish a water right under the
practice of the western states that
the actual storage of water creates
the right to use the water. That is,
they might by such beneficial APP
plication be compelled to allow the
flow of the water into the dam
at the sacrifice of their own lands.
The commission is endeavoring to
solve that problem.
Mr.. Sinnott. They want to save
this question Of prior right?
Secretary Hoover. They think
there might be established a prior
right limiting the development of
their lands.
Mr.. Ranker. In other words, |
gather from your first statement
that this water can not be used
now, but it must be in process of
storage either in the upper part of
the river or below.
Secretary Hoover. The problem
of the retention Of right to the
water by the states in the upper
basin is not insoluble, because the
total flow and storage possibilities
of the river along its entire course
are probably sufficient to irrigate
all of the land that can ever be
brought under irrigation.
Mr.. Ranker. Then is it your
view in that connection that this
legislation should go forward, not
withstanding the fact that the COM
mission has not finally determined,
or that the states have not acted
upon whatever recommendation
the commission has agreed upon?
Secretary Hoover. l think the
legislation should go forward, be-
cause the emergency of the situa-
ton in the Imperial Valley requires
almost immediate action in the con-
troll of the river and distinguishes
it from and other question.
Mr.. Ranker. 1t would not eff
feet in any way the adjustment of
the matter before the commission.
Secretary Hoover. do not
think the states of the lower basin
would raise any objection to a
provision in the bill that the crea-
ton of this storage in itself created
no water rights as against the upper
states. l believe that the feeling
in the upper states could be re-
lieved by provision that the cree
ton of the dam did not create the
water rights as against them, with
full provision for their protection.
Some such action should remove
any legitimate objection to immedi-
ately proceeding with the construc-
ton.
Mr.. Herrick. The point is to i'm
pound the whole backwater at
flood stage, is it not?
Secretary Hoover. Yes, sir.

PET TIGER IN HOTEL
THINKS IT'S COLD HERE
Gotico Going West to Meet
Maltese Mate.

Gatico Spanish for kitten) Is a South
American tiger cat 16 months old, and
finds the July climate OF New York a
bit shivery. Gatico was growing about
the weather yesterday when a reporter
interviewed her and her owner, James B.
Ballinger OF Denver, at the Hotel Nc
Alpin.
Mr.. Ballinger Is an oil prospector. He
came North to recover from Jungle faver
and brought Gatico for company. She

when / get back to Denver" Mr..
Ballinger said. I'm going to experiment.
I've got a big maltese tom cat out there
and I'm going to raise litter of half
breed tiger kittens. I've stunted this
cubs growth by feeding her rum and
milk. The rum made her sick. She
ought to weigh so or 100 pounds. but
I've kept her down to 35. Gatico *
healthy enough. but don't offer her a
drink of rum. That's one thing that
makes her wild"
He picked the big cat IND by the toiI
and threw her on the bed. "See how
tame she is? You couldn't treat house
cat that way" he said.
The tiger kitten stretched her paws and
yawned, showing rows Of sharp white
fangs. Then, evidently considering the
had gone far enough, she
turned her back and crawled under the
bed.

Detective Bureau, the agency formed by
100 insurance companies to protect their
interests and spur the police to greater
activities. there were 2.S39 motors re-
ported stolen from February, 1921. to
February, this year. The number by
boroughs was Manhattan. 1907. Brook
lyn. 712, and the Bronx, 220. This in
cluded only the cars insured in the
companies that are members of the de-
to the bureau as stolen this year in
the three boroughs is: February. 205
March. 25S; April, 262 and May, 219.
In a statement to the Committee on
Ways and Means of the House OF Rep
resentatives District Attorney Banton
said that last year 6.s0S automobiles
were stolen in New York city and that
the average value. including all the
cheapest cars. was $1,000 each.
Based on that statement, the value of
the cars stolen in this city In the last
year was about s7.00O,0O0. What pro-
portion of that was recovered by the
owners through insurance is not known.
1t probably was less than half.

record for automobile thefts. Motors

or these. $40 were stolen outright. in
volving losses of slightly over $780,
900 more than 500 were burned, at an
aggregate loss of $1,120,000, and fifty
were disposed of in other ways. making
total of 1920 reported in all classifi-
cations.
Probably 80 per cent. of the burned
cars were deliberately destroyed In
fraudulent efforts to obtain approx
mately s1.ooo,Ooo in insurance. the num-
ber burned being ar out of proportion
tc the comparative risk.
Between 65 and 10 per cent. Of the
stolen cars were recovered. The State
police alone recovered more than 1O0
having an aggregate value of about
$4,000 Local police got back several in
their respective localities. and the un-
derwriters' bureau ran down many
more. The average value Of the stolen
and burned cars was about 81. 400, and II
has been estimated that it cost an av-
erage of $50 each to repair recovered
machines

found to have been burned. in whole

the underwriters detective agency. The
TACT that several of the important trunk
line highways. including the main lines
from Boston to New York and New
York to Providence, converge in New
Haven was largely responsible, it is be
lieved. for the large number of stolen
cars reported from that city.

to trap them.

make public their records showing
how many cars have been stolen in
this city or how many have been re-
covered. The figures presented. there
fore. are given without police verifi-
alton.
The New York State Bureau Of
Municipal Information has an elaborate
system for obtaining this information.
and reports that the total number of
cars stolen in this State last year was
10,121. an increase Of 42 per cent. over
1920. The number given by this bureau
for New York city is 6.S06 for 1921, of
which only 3.25s were recovered. In
1920. 5.179 cars were stolen in this city
and 2.621 were recovered.
The New York police have system
OF sending out notices OF automobiles
reported stolen. These official slips are
rushed to all nearby cities. and are re-
garded as confidential. In addition, the
police give out information by telephone
and sometimes by radio when they are
anxious to catch a thief
Z Compilation Of one set of these official
documents. access to which was refused
at Police Headquarters. shows that tha
number of cars reported stolen on the
New York police bulletins, by months
was as follows:
The New York herald., 1922-07-18

Fifty seven per cent. OF the cars stolen in
1920 were recovered. Fifty-six per cent. of
the cars stolen in 1921 were recovered.

Sets of Records Differ

The difference between this record
and the report made by the state Bu-
reau is 772. The period covered is
not exactly the same. 1t is possible
that the official bulletins did not in
clude some automobiles that were re-
covered or for some reason 1t was
found not desirable to list. The off,
cial record carries a detailed descrip-
ton Of the stolen cars with engine
numbers and every possible means Of
Identification.
Compared with Chicago, the second
city in the list of stolen motors, New
York makes a poor showing. The COM
parison with most other cities is also
poor for New York. Chicago lost
$3.50 cars by theft, or S46 fewer than
were stolen IN New York But In Chi
cago rs per cent were recovered. In
Baltimore 90 per cent. were recovered.
in Philadelphia SO per cent. and In
Denver so per cent.
New York State has almost 100000
registered automobiles. and of that
number 100000 are in the metropolis.
The congestion in the city and the quick
and easy access to bordering States and
Canada make it harder to catch the
thief than in many other States and
cities.

coveries in the cities of this State. as
compiled by the State Bureau. Is as

Whether preya lent opinion that the

reached an end was correct or other
