McGregor Discusses Colorado Development Before Vets
 and Engineer Chapter

Colorado River power development should be undertaken at Lees Ferry, at the head of the Canyon, rather than at the Boulder Canyon site, ac- cording to A. c. McGregor, smelter designer and nationally known engi. neer. McGregor spoke before the American Legion and the local chap ter of the American Association of Engineers last night. He takes direct issue with the announced choice of the United States Reclamation Serv' ice.
 McGregor Is one of the best known engineers in the southwest. He has had much experience in hydro-elec tric development, having lived in Mon tana when great power projects were undertaken. He has designed many Of the larger smelting plants in the west and that of the Cerro de PascC company in Peru. McGregor Is also the chairman of the Arizona Resourc es Board, and president of the cham Der of commerce.
 "There are only two sites for dams in the canyon which will afford stor age of consequence" declared Nc Gregor "One is at Boulder Canyon in the lower reaches of the gorge. ant the other is at Lees Ferry at the up per end of the defile. There are 2 good many sites for power dams with comparativly little storage be hind them. There Is no site for ; bigh power dam below Boulder Can yon.
 "Economic and engineering prob lens, alone. lead me to the firm con Viction that the great storage dan should be located at Lees Ferry.

 In connection with a national loan, Dr. Wirth said the government would soon be able to start negotiations, but he feared the barrier reared by world capital" in the Versailles treaty would effectively initiate afainst Germany's ability to obtain financial relief abroad, under tolearable conditions. A moratorium, he added, would have definitely stabilized German exchange.
 Dr. Wirth rejected the demand that the German government levy an addi- tional tax of 60,OO0, ,000, ,000 marks, on the ground that it was both a finan- cial and technical impossibility.
 Liberal applause greeted the declar. ation that the German government must politely decline the suggestion of financial and economic guardian. ship.
 This" declared the chancellor, ''is incompatible with the dignity of the nation and is opposed to the spirit of democracy which we founded at the entente's behest. Such an invasion oi a sovereign state is also in violation of the principle of selfdetermination We already have had our fill of unsat isfactory experience with control com missions of all sorts, and must sum amrily reject the proposal, that the reparations commission be given q still wider latitude than already hal been conceded 1t in connection witf it's supervisory functions"

 GREEN RAY, Wis. Mar. 28-Panic reigned in the Union Congregational Church here tonight wAen bomb was thrown into an audience of 500 persons gathered to hear William E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson. world famed prohibitionist, deliver his address on the new India"
 One woman tainted and a general break was made for the nearest exits, with those on the platform doing their utmost to quell what promised to be dangerous stanNSde.
 P. c. Walker ran down the aisle and grasped the smoking tubular bomb and started out when it explod. ed. Investigation proved that it was an amateurish model, a small tin can filled with black powder. It was evil fdent from the action of the bomb that the handling had shaken it's con tents causing it to explode in much the same manner as a defective fire cracker fizzles.
 Walker was burned slightly.
 Johnson was, at the time, speaking at another church, and Lewis l.. Hol ,Ston, Spokane, prohibition worker | had the floor.
 Although the church filled with smoke and fumes from the exploded powder, not more than 10 people Jeff the building.

German Chancellor Speaks on Genoa Farley And Preparations

BERLIN, Mar. 2S.-The Genoa con ference will either be a shining star or a Will O the Wisp, Chancellor Wirth told the reichstag today at the conclusion of an hours discussion of the decisions of the reparations com mission.
 'If the Genoa conference proves a Will O the Wisp instead of a shinin star that will brighten the path of re- construction" he added, then the problem of rehabilitating Europe in general and Germany in particular will continue to be treated in spirit of arbitrary dictation."
 Throughout his speech, the chancel- Tor was unusually frank in his crit cism of the allies treatment of tn reparations problem, charging that the commission was either unamena ble to every logic or had consistently neglected to acquaint itself with actual status of Germany's economic situation. The reparations decision accompanied by a letter which. the chancellor said was couched in a needlessly severe tone. not only aroused national indignation, but in cidentally had added twenty-eight bil lion marks to the German budget ir consequence of the recent slumI which set in automatically with the notes arrival.

NEW YORK, Mar. 2S. . (By The Associated Press.)-A fascinating as a tale by Jules Verne was the plan for aerial exploration of the roof of the world" sketched today in full for the first time by Captain Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the south pole
 Arriving from Norway on the Stay angerfjord, the explorer plunged at once into the work of organizing the expedition which sails June l from Seattle to drift across the north pole --an expedition which Amundsen ex- poets will revoMtionize polar explora- tion and provide a short cut to valu- able scientific knowledge.
 It's vision will not be confined to a few miles on either side of the ship, but from the air it will be able to take in at glance objects 200 miles away.
 It will not be for years cut off from touch with the outside world, leaving friends and relatives to wonder if the northland had smashed in it's icy fist the hardy adventurers who encroach. ed on it's fastness. Instead, It will talk by radio four times day with Wash ington, and when it returns in three or five years, 1t will know what the civilized world has been doing during It's absence.
 It will not have spent years charting merely a narrow strip, but with the aid oB aviation, will be able to chart 100000 square miles, sketching t. currents of the air as well as those

 It is upon his airplanes = two in number = that Amundsen pins his chief hopes.
 After luncheon came the. announce ment that the larger of the two planes selected by, the explorer would be the all-metal Larsen monoplane which on December 29, flying over Mineola, L. l., in zero weather, estab- lished the worlds record for continu- Nous flying of 26 hours, l9 minutes and 35 seconds.
 The plane, Captain Amundsen ex- plained, was being supplied by Larsen at his own expense. The plane has been thoroughly renovated, and test flights will be begun next Thursday.
 ,Besides the monoplane, Amundsen will take an Ayro scout plane, a smaller British ship, which will be used only within the vicinity of the Maude. The monoplane, with a cabin in which 1 1persons have been car ried, will be selfsuppOrtiug. She is so equipped that she can carry large stocks of fuel and provisions, and to her can be adjusted skis, wheels or pontoons, so that she can land on any surface. With her aid, Amundsen be. lieves he can chart 200-mile course across the top of the earth.

 Miss Briggs explained that she had gone into Miss Rappes room on the day of her death. "She asked me about the amount of the hospital bill that would be due said the witness. "She said she did not see why she should pay the bill as Arbuckle was responsible for her being there. told her that if Arbuckle or any one else should pay the account after she left. the money paid by her would be returned. She replied that she was not going to leave, that she was going to die.
 "Then I asked her why she thought she was going to die, and it was then that she told me the details of the party"
 Miss Briggs declared that she had not told her story before or volun teered any information because she shrank from the notoriety. She added that she had been summoned to tes tify only last Saturday.

 In Royals desk at the express of. flee a letter was found yesterday addressed to The Review. The letter unsigned, offered no clue to where either Royal or his body might be found.
