With these words, Special Deputy
Attorney General Mott tonight dis
missed reports of a new hitch in his
investigation of the murder of the

cedure with me-" Mr.. Mott declared,
indicating that he might not, as had
been reported. await the swearing in
of a new Somerset county grand
jury, December 90. before taking fur
Their action. Il shall know, probably
by Monday, what action is best" he

glad to take the public into my con-
tidence."

the present grand jur. W; reached
by Mr.. Mott after conference yes
terday with Albert Glib, grand jury
foreman. Just what happened at the

eye witness, that the slayings were
committed by a bushy haired man

Constantinople, Nov. 1O.-(By A.
PO-The Allied high commissioners
this afternoon handed u note to the
Angora government representative
here demanding the repeal of all
measures relating to the customs,
the public debt and the sanitary and
other services which conflict with
the capitulations and the stipula-
tons of the Mudros Armistice agree
mcnt of 1918.
Otherwise, says the note. the
commissioners will be compelled to
refer to their governments for nee
essary action.
The Allied generals also arranged
meeting with Rafet Pasha, the Ma
tionalist governor here, to whom they
will submit demands with a view to
insuring the safety of the troops and
efficient control of the police and
2endarmerie.
The commissioners also will dis
cuss the situation Chanak consequent
upon the kemalist encroachments
upon the neutral zone.
The result of the meeting is not
likely to be known for some time
but there are abundant indications
that the KemaIists are in an in
tractable mood. an instance are new
demands for the evacuation of the
Allied troops and the withdrawal of
the warships.
London, Nov. 10-(By A. Ply
Telegraphic communication between
London and Constantinople continues
interrupted. The only news that is
coming in is reaching London slowly
and through devious routes.
Dispatches dated Wednesday, re-
coivcd by the foreign and war offices
today by naval wireless, indicated
that the Allied commissioners then
still were awaiting definite reply
from the Angora government to their
demand that the Turks recede from
their attitude, which the Allies re-
gard as out of accord with the Mud
ros and Mudania conventions. The
dispatches showed that the Allied
representatives also had lodged a
strong protest with Rafet Pasha, the
Nationalist governor, against the
execution of Ali Renal Bey. editor
of Sabah, an anti Nationalist organ
That the situation continues
strained is shown by the fact that
the Earl of Derby, secretary for war,
was compelled to cancel a political
engagement he had in the north to-
night.

RIVER
WATERS PLANNED
BY Commission
Compact win Likely Be
Written at the Meeting
Now Being Held at Santa
Fe, 1t Is Announced.

Santa Fe n. M, Nov. 19 (by the
Associated Press) Members Of
the Colorado river commission ex-
pect to write a compact for the al
lotment Of the waters of the Colo
RADIO river at the meeting now un-
der way in Santa Fe, 1t was indi-
Gated today. The commission,
which held its first formal session
last Saturday, already has before
it a number of concrete suggestions
as to the form the compact should
take and members believe that be-
fore the conference here breaks UT
an agreement will be written. The
sessions of the commission are ex-
ecutive.
Dispose OF Controversy.
If the commission reaches an
agreement and a compact Is made,
a new page in the history of ir-
rigation in the United States will
be written. The proposed docu-
ment is in every degree analogous
to a treaty between nations, mem
bers have pointed out. After it
has been written, the compact will
be signed by Herbert Hoover,
chairman Of the commission, as
representative of the president of
the United States and by each of
the seven state commissioners on
behalf of the seven states within
the rivers basin-CClorado, Wyo-
ming, New Mexico, Arizona, New
ada, Utah and California. When
approved by congress and by the
seven state legislatures involved.
the compact will dispose forever
of all controversy over the equit-
able apportionment of the water
supply OF the Colorado river.
The treaty-making powers of the
states frequently have been availCd
of in matters respecting interstate
boundaries, fisheries and other like
subjects, but this is the first in
stance in American history where
several states are attempting to
make an equitable apportionment
of the benefits to be derived from
the uses OF the waters of an in
terstate stream prior to the de-
veloDment of conflict respecting es-
tahlished uses, and before the con-
structiOn of large enterprises which

242,O0O square miles in the. United
States and over 1000 square miles
in Mexico.
The commission has before It
the great Ssk of foreseeing and
preparing for the needs of the mill
lions Of persons of future genera
tions who will make their homes
within the basin of the river. Much
of the territory, of course, is as
yet undeveloped. It's proper de-
velopment, according to experts,
eventually will cost hundreds Of
millions of dollars and will open
more than 100000 square miles Of
land to settlement.
It is agreed that there is enough
water in the river to meet the ir-
rigation needs of all of the states
as well as to develop vast amounts
of horsepower if proper reservoirs
for storage are built.
