United Press Leased Wire


PHOENIX, Ariz., March 1.-THE
River Commission hearings opened here
ON the part Of the delegates looking to
an early start on actual construction OF
the Boulder Canyon Dam.
Trouble between the various states
still flared frequently, but desire to
-"get something started" was ex-
pressed on every hand.
1t was conceded that the Boulder
Canyon Dam was the most feasible pro
ject to meet the demands for flood
control, reclamation and power develop
ment.
Hoover Plans Favored
Despite pressure brought to bear by
the George II. Maxwell faction, which
was making a strong fight along the
line that ma jor waterrights on the
Colorado belong to Arizona, the general
sentiment OF the commission was to ac-
cept the counsel of Herbert Hoover that
if the greatest common asset is to be
developed in accordance with the
greatest good to the greatest number,
Arizona should and must not stand III
the way Of reclamation development in
states of the Upper Basin.
Sacrifice Original Claims
This means sacrifice of the original
claims set forth by Arizona, but from
indications this state 3 representatives,
will waive them willingly if the other
six states can be brought into agree
uent to declare twenty year holiday
on interstate litigation, leaving the
future to decide whether reclamation or
power development is to be paramount
in economic use of the water.
during this twenty year truce, there
will be plenty of water available for
both the reclamationists and the powey
interests Arthur p. Davis, chief of
the United States reclamation service,
told the assembly today.
Remove Valley Menace
''Thc Boulder Canyon is the only
site ON the river which would answer
the demands of the government to re-
move the menace Of destruction i'll the
Imperial Valley by the Colorado s year
ly overflow.
"At the same time, it is closest to
Los Angeles and Southern Califor-
mia, where bulk Of the power pro-
duccd will be marketed.
1--WE must look to the revenues de-
rived from the sale Of power to pay the
bulk of the tremendous construction
costs.
''The Boulder Canyon project, once
completed, would also bring in vast
new acreage in California and Ari-
Zona.'

Yesterday morning at daylight De-
tective Sergeants Edward King and j.
A. Winn, of the l.. A. police, attached
to the office of the district attorney,
accompanied by l.. A. Cock, of Santa
Ana, arrived overland in Mexicali
from Tijuana, where their search first
took them, slowly, but surely tracking
down two men, on whose apprehension
it is believed the TAYLOR murder mystery
will be solved.
Seek Former Soldiers
The men, whose arrest is sought now
in connection with the mystery crime,
are two former soldiers of the Canadian
army, who served in the world war
under the immediate command of Cap
tain Taylor. The information that came
to District Attorney Woolwine that
started his sleuths on this fresh man
hunt, was in the shape of a letter re-
ceived a short time ago from a former
officer in London, England, who wrote
that one day after the Armistice he
was dining with Captain Taylor in a
London hotel, and Taylor, suddenly re-
marked, pointing to Il man crossing the
dining hall in uniform, .'there goes a
man who SAYS he is going to kill ME,
if it takes him q thousand wears to get
me. Taylor then explained that the
man was II sergeant IN his company and
| that he had reported him and had court
| martialcd and imprisoned for a short
time for theft of company property. A
description of the soldier was con-
tanned in the letter, and the writer ex-
pressed the hope that the information
might be of value in tracing the mur-
derer.
Question Canadian
Close inquiry failed to establish any
connection between the death of Cap
tain Taylor, and a Canadian soldier,
with the information then in the
hands of the authorities.
But three days ago L.. A. Cock,
rancher of Santa Ana, related to Dis
trict Attorney WoOlwine that the day
after the murder while on u trip to the
Mexican border in his automobile he
had picked up on the read and given q
ride to San Diego, two men, who from
their accent were easily spotted as
Canadians, or Englishmen, and that in
the course of the ride they stated that
they had served in the Canadian oyer-
seas forces.
Both men were armed with service
pistols and one wore the uniform
trousers and shirt, worn by soldiers
during the war. Cock overheard
scraps of conversation in which the
word captain was used several times
and the name 'Bill'' with the added
words 81 got the - as !
